One week ago today, when news came that Billy Graham had died, I didn’t get down in the dumps over it. I celebrated! In my mind, I joined the worship – not of Billy but of Jesus for the life of Billy Graham. Billy would never want us to worship him, but rather his Savior! His focus was always pointing others to Jesus. That was the true pattern of his life.
I don’t think I ever knew of a more Christ-like person. Did (or do) you? He treated others with love and forgiveness, no matter what they had done or how they had lived. His was a life of compassion.
Billy Graham was the most non-pretentious and humble man of notoriety in America (and I daresay the entire world). I heard it said that, when addressed in a formal fashion, he always said, “Call me Billy.” Many educated and successful people want to be addressed by their earned title and recognized for their accomplishment in it. Not Billy.
He had a peaceful countenance. How I would have loved to have met him! You, too?
An early remembrance of Billy Graham was when I was about nine years old. I was on my bicycle, parked in front of a house one street over from my home. My mother had told me about the neighbor friend (who lived in the house where I sat on my bike that day). She was saved while watching Billy Graham on television the last time he was on TV. Her husband was traveling at the time and was saved as he watched the program in his hotel room that very same night – neither knowing until later what was happening with their spouse. What an awesome God story that was to me!
Remembering that Billy Graham was to be on TV again that night, I scooted toward home on my bicycle so I wouldn’t miss it. Any time he was on TV, I wanted to watch the event. It could be a little boring at that young age, but somehow, it was captivating.
The altar call at the end was the best. Hundreds and thousands of changed lives, going forward in faith. Billy Graham was definitely a gifted preacher of great influence to the entire world in the 20th century. Interesting how God left Billy Graham with us these years into the 21st century for his continued impact on a more Godless society than ever seen before in our country.
We all need Jesus. Every hour. Every day. Even for those 0f us who already know Jesus, we need His continual presence in our life. The lost need Him, too, and Christians are to be an example for Jesus and a witness to His Good News. Billy was a wonderful example – second to Jesus, of course.
Dr. Graham met many influential world leaders! What would you say to world leaders if you had the chance to meet them?
Billy Graham didn’t discuss worldly things with them. His conversations centered around Jesus – and His free gift of forgiveness.
I imagined the party that went on in Heaven last Wednesday. What a welcoming it must have been! Imagine Billy running to Jesus, arms open wide, ready to embrace Him. What joy! And a host of angels gathered around to worship in song. Not because of what Billy did, but what Jesus did through Billy Graham. He was a faithful servant who finished well.
As we think about the years of serving Christ during our fall and winter seasons of life, we want to continue in faith and finish well, right? (How I messed up at times!) No matter how we may have been in error sometimes, Jesus forgives us for it. Don’t let the devil (lower case dconvince you aren’t worthy to share Jesus’s forgiveness. May we all finish well!
Did you meet or see Billy Graham in an arena in your lifetime? I’d love to hear about your experience first-hand.
Good morning Kim, I saw Billy Graham at Legion Field in Birmingham in May of 1972 as a high school senior! I am so glad I had that opportunity. What a life that he lived in light of eternity! But more importantly, what a Savior! Thank you for this lovely tribute! Blessings on this rainy Wednesday!
Yes, he was responsible for bringing so many to Christ. What a privilege we had to know him!
Kim, what a lovely and eloquent tribute. I was sad the world lost such a great man, but rejoiced he was home with the Lord and reunited with his beloved Ruth. We live not too far from Montreat, so the television coverage has been non-stop. I have enjoyed watching all of the stories about Billy Graham and the lives he has touched. When I was about 11 or 12, I went to one of his crusades at The Citadel, the Military College of SC. I was really too young to appreciate what it really meant, was just amazed at all the people there, the joyous singing, and how fervently he preached.
Thank you, Roxanne. I agree. At whatever age, you were impacted by him, his message and ministry – like so many others. I hope you’re having a wonderful week!
A beautiful tribute. I must say I’ve failed miserably in my christian walk. I have many regrets but God is faithful. What a legacy this wonderful man of God leaves behind. How are you doing, by the way. I hope this finds you feeling well and positive news coming your way.
I never met Billy Graham in person. But who didn’t know who he was and what he was about?! Growing up I occasionally watched him on tv (even though I was a Catholic as a child and we didn’t watch tv preachers). He was captivating. He will be missed…look what he did while he was here!! How many got saved watching him? I know Jesse Duplantis said he got saved watching Billy Graham on tv while he was in a hotel room ….living a very sketchy lifestyle as a rock star. And look at Jesse now!!!! He flies all over the world evangelizing!!!!

On October 28, 2009, President Obama signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (FY 2010 NDAA). The new law amends the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provisions applicable to military personnel and their families by expanding the availability of both qualifying exigency leave and military caregiver leave.
Previously, qualifying exigency leave was not available to family of active members of the Armed Forces, but only to family members of those in the National Guard or Reserves who are deployed in support of a contingency operation. The FY 2010 NDAA extends the availability of qualifying exigency leave to family members of both career service members and those in the National Guard or Reserves who are deployed to a foreign country.
In addition to qualifying exigency leave, the FMLA provides up to 26 weeks of FMLA leave during a 12-month period for spouses, children, parents or next of kin to care for current members of the Armed Forces, including members of the National Guard or Reserves, who are undergoing medical treatment, recuperation or therapy, or are otherwise on the temporary disability retired list for a serious injury or illness incurred in line of duty.
The FY 2010 NDAA extends this entitlement to family members of veterans of the Armed Forces, including the National Guard or Reserves, suffering from a service-related injury or illness if the veteran was an active member of the Armed Forces within five years of requiring care. Presumably, this extension is intended to assist veterans who sustain injuries or illnesses during active duty that are not immediately apparent, such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Additionally, the FY 2010 NDAA expands military caregiver leave to cover the care of members of the Armed Forces who have an existing or preexisting serious injury or illness incurred in the line of duty that is aggravated by active duty. This expansion will likely allow for family members to take multiple 26-week periods of leave related to the same injury or illness of a covered service member if the injury or illness is first sustained in the line of duty and then aggravated during a return to active duty.
While the FY 2010 NDAA does not contain an effective date, employers should consider the law to be effective immediately. Employers should be alert to upcoming changes in the regulations and should update all FMLA policies to reflect the changes associated with the FY 2010 NDAA.
If you have any questions about this or any other labor & employment matters, please contact your Husch Blackwell Sanders attorney.

Due to riots today in Egypt i am worried about my upcoming holiday with my family.. What's your advice.
My advice is that you assess the situation and decide what level of risk is acceptable to you and your circumstances. Here are a few facts that might assist you in making that assessment.
Even at the height of the revolution last year things remained calm at the Red Sea resorts. While Cairo "burned" they were still serving cocktails to the sun lounges on the beach at Sharm.
In the current unrest Cairo (particularly Tahrir Square) Alexandria, Suez, Ismailia and Port Said are places where there's been trouble. Sharm' has not been mentioned in any news reports (that I've seen).
Is it guaranteed to remain calm? No. Is it LIKELY to turn nasty? Also no.
If you're worried, call your hotel and ask them for an honest assessment. If you're still not happy about going, ask them if you can re-schedule till another time when it is calmer.
Actually safety has never been a problem in Sharm El Sheikh. And Egypt is getting safer as the new government is doing everything they can to restore order.

My team and I are newly energized from our training sessions with Anastasia and Jeanne (from LCC Comfort Dog headquarters) who visited us in March! In addition to participating in one-on-one handler training, they accompanied us on several of our regular visits to Piner’s and Collabria, enabling them to observe and participate in our ministry efforts firsthand.
One of my favorite moments from these visits was receiving a hug from one of my good friends at Collabria. Although she has pet me many times and scratched my ears as I lay my head in her lap, because she is confined to a motorized wheelchair, she has not been able to hug me during my previous visits. With the help of Anastasia, my team was able to position me partially on a chair next to her so we were both at eye level and she was able to embrace me with her arms for the very first time. This was a truly special ministry moment for the two of us and my team as well. God, in His providence, delayed the bus which picks her up so that we could share this beautiful time together.
Several of our recent events have opened doors to new relationships and opportunities. After a visit in February to the LWML group at Vineyard of Faith Lutheran Church in Windsor, CA, we were invited back in March to offer comfort to the congregation during a time of need. The CNH District, whose conference we attended in early March, also invited our team to attend their mental health conference at the end of the month.
Wishing everyone a safe and blessed Easter!

Drop by one of these Miami hotel hangouts to wet your whistle day or night.
The sun, sea and sand in South Beach more than deliver when it comes to quintessential Miami R&R. But there’s only so much beach adventure you can take before it’s time to slick back your hair, throw on a linen shirt and get your drink on. Here are five hotel bars that rate high on the fun-factor scale.
The terrazzo floors of the Morris Lapidus-designed Lobby Bar at the Eden Roc have welcomed the footsteps of Frank Sinatra, Katharine Hepburn and Nat King Cole, who sang “Unforgettable” for the first time in what is now the Mona Lisa Ballroom. Elizabeth Taylor used to circle the sunken bar, carrying on out the door if she didn’t see anybody worth hanging out with. Fittingly, there’s a cocktail in her honor—a mojito-like concoction with muddled pears, pear vodka and sparkling rosé. The bar was given an update recently by designer David Rockwell.
While the Soho is a member’s-only club/hotel, the main-floor courtyard houses Cecconi’s Miami Beach restaurant, which is open to all seven days a week. The bar is long, lean and comfortable: green and white tile floors, tufted sofas, fairy lights in the trees. Expect classic Italian here, including handmade pasta. The incredible Sunday brunch spread takes over the whole lobby: salmon tartare made to order, whole grilled mahi mahi, flatbread pizza with Parma ham—and a Bloody Mary cart that wheels around making everyone feel happily warmer in the Miami heat.
The Lido Bayside Grill is a true local hangout, the name an homage to the hotel’s original name: Lido Spa Hotel. Thirsty regulars congregate beside the pool at the low four-tops or along little banquettes built around flat-leaved sea grape trees. Gorgeous servers keep Ketel One martinis coming as fast as you can throw them back. If you’re peckish, the menu features healthy, Mediterranean-style fare focusing on grilled organic meats and fish. This is one of the city’s most beautiful spots for a nightcap at the water’s edge and quite fun at Happy Hour, Monday through Friday from 4 to 7 p.m.
The Met’s Traymore Gin Bar manages to be both modern and nostalgic for the old Miami spirit. The bar’s claim to fame is its dedication to gin: They stock more than 30 artisanal varieties—not just premium, but super-premium, according to the hotel. Original pink and pistachio flooring is offset with white scalloped drop-ceilings, white walls and white rattan chairs. The whole place smells heavenly of the hotel’s eucalyptus and geranium signature scent.
The glamorous Skybar is catnip to the in-crowd, which flocks here to make the scene amidst the fountains, pergolas, billowing curtains and cobalt accents. The Redroom Garden, open until 2 a.m. on the weekend, is like an outdoor living room replete with handmade lanterns, tropical plants and Asian-style furniture. Add in name-brand DJs, specialty cocktails and smart outfits and you’ve got a night out. The white-sheered Rumbar, open until sundown, has more than 75 different rums to taste-test.

The premise of a move is simple in theory: take your things from Point A and get them to Point B. However, the actual process of moving is much more complicated. Between slim door frames, flights of stairs, awkward furniture, and the hundreds of items that need to be packed, the work that moving requires is overwhelming.
Here are some of the top reasons you should hire a professional moving company to do the work for you!
You decided to move, and yet haven’t done a single thing to help you accomplish that. This is totally fine if you hire professional movers like Affordable Quality Moving and Storage! We offer services that range from picking up your pre-packed boxes and driving them to your new address, to going into your home and packing every single thing for you. We offer custom move plans that fit what you need, so you can be in control of your move.
If you or a friend breaks one of your items while moving, the money you paid for that item is gone. However, with professional movers, your items are insured. We insure your items because we trust in our ability to move them without a hitch. However, in the event that something does happen, our insurance will fit the bill and replace whatever has been lost. This allows you to relax knowing that your valuables are in good hands!
When you hire a company like AQMS, you can expect a quote before you agree to any of our services. Looking to have your boxes moved? We will give you an estimate before we take them anywhere. Want to have your items packed, moved, and unpacked into your new home? We will come to your house and give you a quote so that you can be sure that our services are what you need before you commit to them. We are not in the business of catching our customers’ off-guard with fake prices and hidden fees. When you use a professional moving company, you will get expert service that is always transparent about your move.
When you begin to pack your belongings, you realize just how easy it is to scratch, rip, cut, and harm your home with your possessions. Rushing to move furniture out of bedrooms and down stairwells can end up with you causing severe damage to your house. On the other hand, trying to figure out how to carry your bedframe efficiently and safely can eat up a lot of time. The solution? Having a professional moving service move your things for you. We have extensive experience moving heavy and awkward items, which means that we know the most efficient way to get them out of your old house and into your new home. In addition to our knowledge, we also have specific tools (like carpet protectors) that can keep your home extra safe during your move.
How Do I Reach a Professional Moving Company?
For a professional moving company in the Los Angeles area and beyond, Affordable Quality Moving Services is just a phone call away. As an expert moving service with over 20 years of quality work, we know the greater Los Angeles County. We can move you from L.A. to any other state in America, which means that long distance moves are not a deterrent for us. We offer free in-home quotes for anybody thinking through a move.
Call (818) 960-1988 for a free estimate for the moving services that you need! Let us show you why we have been in the business for over 20 years.

MediKid: Whose Idea was This, Anyway?
Parents had better put the kids to bed early this week. Otherwise, youngsters might happen across C-SPAN in time to watch the United States Senate and House of Representatives cast their most damaging votes ever against children's health. Armed with faulty data on the status of children's health coverage, Congress is set to spend $16 billion or more over the next five years to create a new federal "Kiddycare" program. While claiming to provide health coverage for children, Kiddycare will actually waste billions of dollars, and provide no health benefit to children.
In 1994, the American people rejected the Clinton health care plan and others like it that would have substituted the judgment of politicians and bureaucrats for that of patients and their doctors. Yet, that victory has proved short-lived. Today, lawmakers who fought government-run health care three years ago, some of whom even rode into office on the issue, are now its biggest supporters.
In 1996, Congress and President Clinton enacted legislation that requires health insurance companies to provide -- and requires consumers to buy -- certain health benefits. These mandated benefits were hailed as a "consensus" approach to health care reform. Today, a number of additional health benefit mandates are being proposed. This paper discusses how mandated benefits do more harm than good.

"We still get people saying 'we should hold this for print' and I say 'why not just throw it in the trash?' Convergence is the only way forward. You cannot keep print and digital separate. It won't work, not even in developing contexts.” – David Callaway.
“Journalists don't generally like experiments, they tend to 'punish' innovators, but experimentation's essential.” – George Brock, Professor and Head of Journalism, City University London, UK.
"The advertising rates on video are one of the only ones holding up as other ad revenue slides," – Robert Shrimsley.
"You need to get EVERYONE - even the most grizzled old print editor - engaged in trying new things. The new blood is coming from the J-schools in the US. We almost exclusively hire J-school grads." – David Callaway.
“This Golden Pen is more important than food, medicine and water. It materializes the support and shows that he is not forgotten. That he is one of us. That an attack on one journalist is an attack on us all and that jailing a journalist is a crime against humanity.” – Swedish journalist Martin Schibbye, accepting the 2014 Golden Pen of Freedom, the annual press freedom prize of the World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers (WAN-IFRA), on behalf of imprisoned Ethiopian publisher, journalist and blogger Eskinder Nega.
“It is fairly easy to report when a journalist is killed, but the real story is this impunity question, the killers getting away scot free. That requires more reporting and investigation – or at least nominating a reporter in the newsroom to monitor the issue.” – Guy Berger, Director, Division of Freedom of Expression and Media Development, UNESCO, Paris.
New technological advances mean that never before has the Big Brother envisioned by George Orwell been so tangible – Claudio Paolillo, Chairman, Press Freedom and Information Committee, Inter American Press Association, Director Semanario Búsqueda, Uruguay.
The biggest impact is arguably on the capacity for journalists to access confidential sources in the post-Snowden era.
“It’s created a very real chilling effect among our sources. They’ve become nervous about talking with us. They don’t want their phone numbers associated with us. And government employees who previously routinely talked to us, now won’t.” – Gary Pruitt, President & CEO, The Associated Press, USA.
“Journalism may have to be moved 'off shore” to avoid creeping surveillance" – Janine Gibson, Editor-in-Chief, theguardian.com and Deputy Editor of Guardian News and Media, UK.
The role of the editor is also to be an agent for social change and education within communities. "We must use our resources and knowledge for debate and education." – Editor-in-Chief of Italy’s La Stampa, Mario Calabresi told the conference. His paper is partnering with schools to produce youth-engaged content. And the paper has also had success with special editions built on social justice themes "We sold 50k copies more than normal when we did a special Africa issue,” he said.
The editor needs to be editorially strategic and lead the news agenda. "Sensationalism and soft news have been trends that amount to a long-term disaster for US newsrooms…Journalists need to know more to analyse complex issues - there's a knowledge deficiency among journalists.” – Thomas Patterson, Bradlee Professor of Government and the Press, Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, USA.
"I believe we are at the beginning of a major movement in cross-border, collaborative investigative journalism." – Rosental Alves, Professor, Knight Chair of Journalism, University of Texas, Austin, USA.
“Although we were born in a world of paper, we are trying to link ourselves to a new ecosystem and the results are good.” – Roberto Bernabò, Editor-in-Chief, Il Tirreno, Italy.
"In Australia, The Guardian Australia (a website-only entry to an increasingly pluralistic media market) has already achieved audience engagement levels rivalling those in the UK." – Janine Gibson.
“Stories that are deep, solid, important, those that have emotional impact get a ‘viral lift’ according to research.” – Thomas Patterson.
"Geography in the newsroom is the most important: having coders, designers, product people in the same room." – Aron Pilhofer.
“Consistent revenue comes from a combination of both short, sharp video and long, evergreen content.” – Marie-Noëlle Vallès, Head of Video, AFP, France.
“Younger generations are increasingly interested in news but increasingly cynical about sources of news.” – Jason Mojica, Editor-in-Chief, Vice News, USA.
Digital first means putting content production at the centre, regardless of the platform for which it is created. – Roberto Bernabò.
Africa-check is causing political parties to be more factual, they're afraid of being found out. - Anton Harber, Caxton Professor of Journalism and Media Studies, Director of Journalism, University of the Witwatersrand; Advisor, AfricaCheck, South Africa.

I’ve gone back over every season since the current league structure began in 1995/96 and aggregated the week-by-week points tallies of each team to finish 1st, 2nd etc with the idea of benchmarking each club’s points tally this season against it. While this doesn’t “prove” anything it sets a useful precedent: for example if your club is currently trying to stay afloat in League 1, knowing how many points that teams who escaped relegation tended to have at this stage of the season provides a comparison that will help you assess the size of the task ahead.
So the green area is the path that a team that ends up finishing 20th tends to cut through League 1 over the course of a season. Therefore if your club is currently in the white area below the green band, then they’ve got fewer points than any team who went on to survive relegation in the last 20 seasons, which means it’s time to worry unless they’re likely to have an unusually good second half of the season. Likewise if your club is near the top of the green band, or above it altogether, then there’s much less to worry about.
From the far right side of the graphic we can see that no side in the last 20 seasons has finished 20th with more than 52 points or fewer than 45, but that this spread is a lot wider at the midpoint of a season. At the moment, the average side has played around 24 matches and, looking at the graph, we can see the historical spread at this stage is a lot wider: between 17 and 34 points.
This darker band gives us a better indication of how a 20th-placed team would progress in a relatively average season, with the lighter bands on either side showing the more extreme seasons. A good example of this is the way the bottom of the green zone is pretty flat between games 33 and 37 before rising sharply up to game 41. This is down to Notts County in 2013/14, who sat bottom after 37 matches with only 1 point from their last 7 games, but then won 19 from their last 9 to pull away from the drop zone.
While County proved that this sort of “great escape” is possible, such a massive change in fortune is obviously not easy to emulate, so I think it’s right to distinguish between these sorts of scenarios and clubs who rack up points at a steadier and more “normal” rate.
To keep things simple – and visible – I also wanted to narrow the amount of data being visualised. Therefore I’ve decided to only look at the three matches either side of the current stage of the season to start with, and to trim away any superfluous areas of the vertical axis too.
That’s more than enough background explanation, but I wanted to make it clear what I’d done.
The reason for choosing GIFs rather than just overlaying the data onto the red zone above is that a lot of teams have a very similar number of points and it would therefore get quite cluttered. Instead I’ve kept the graph fixed and overlaid separate “frames” for each club’s recent progress, in descending order of their current league position.
Every frame of the animation is generated via code, spat out as an individual PNG file and then combined with the others into a GIF using gifmaker.me.
Where a club’s performance is relevant to more than one race, I’ve included them in both graphs. Inclusion doesn’t necessarily mean that I think a club is going to go down or up; some of them just make for good comparisons. As a season goes on and fewer clubs remain likely participants in the various races, the animations will start to contain fewer clubs.
You can see that the axes correspond (more or less) to the red area I “cut out” from the full season graph, and each “frame” of the animation is a colour-coded line showing how many points each club had after a set number of matches. You’ll notice that the lines aren’t all the same length, as it’s pretty common for clubs to have played different numbers of matches at a specific stage of the season.

Nigeria risks a relapse into recession, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) issued a serious warning to the federal government yesterday.
CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele told reporters at the end of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting in Abuja that they are worried that “the exit from the recession may be under threat as the economy slowed to 1.95 percent and 1.50 percent within the first and the second quarter 2018”.
CBN raised same alarm in 2015 and by 2016 it happened.
The economy plunged into recession shortly after from end of 2016 through 2017.
The MPC, Emefiele said, “noted that the slowdown emanated from the oil sector, with strong linkages to employment and growth in the key sectors of the economy”.
The committee urged the government to take advantage of the current rising trend in the oil prices to rebuild fiscal buffers, strengthen government finances in the medium term and reverse the current trend of decline in output growth.
Members of the MPC were concerned over the weak intermediation by the Deposit Money Banks and its adverse impact on credit expansion and investment growth by the private sector.
The MPC noted that the economy was still confronted with growth challenges and inflationary pressure but reiterated the need for synergy between the monetary and fiscal authorities as availed option for macroeconomic stability.
The committee lamented that the threats to the food supply chain in major food producing states due to poor infrastructure, flooding and security challenges may lead to a “rise in food prices, contributing to the uptake in the headline inflation”.
However, the committee was optimistic that as harvests progress, “in the coming months, pressure on food prices would gradually continue to recede while growth enhancing measures would over the medium term, have some moderating impact on food prices”.

A mental health crisis exists in the Australian Indigenous population. Stressful life events are experienced at high rates and psychological distress levels are rising. Psychology has a significant role to play in addressing these inequities and health crises. AIPEP draws on multiple perspectives of Indigenous and non-Indigenous stakeholders in order to develop guidance, support and recommendations for psychology training programs to play their role in closing the gap. AIPEP focuses specifically on how psychology training can develop a more culturally aware and culturally responsive mental health workforce, and how the numbers of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander psychologists can be increased through recruitment, retention and graduation from both undergraduate and postgraduate programs.
AIPEP is gathering resources that are useful for educators and practitioners in psychology, relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander social and emotional wellbeing, and to the psychology curriculum.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of lands and waters throughout Australia, and pay respect to Elders both past and present. We recognise the importance of continued connection to culture, country and community to the health, social and emotional wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families.

I learned two things on this trip.
First, that Dana requires a lot more attention than I can give her, and that’s okay. She thrives off of people more than anyone I know. She loved college because she was always had people around, friends to talk to, and things to do, but now that she’s out of that scene I’m pretty much the only one left for her. There’s no way that I, a guy who very much values alone time and quietness, can satisfy Dana’s need to relate and talk 24/7. She needs other people in her life besides me and unfortunately that isn’t really the case right now. Hopefully she can soon start developing a couple close relationships with new people in this area.
Second, it was confirmed for me that immature people are blinded to their immaturity and because of it communication is virtually impossible. This has been rolling around in my mind for several months now, but seeing it this weekend in a different context with different people really solidified it for me. Those who are immature can not see how immature they really are, nor can it be pointed out to them by people who care because they’re oblivious to it and immediately view any confrontation as an attack. Talking about it is pointless because the communication seems to take place on two totally different levels. Although I hate to throw my hands in the air and walk away, I see no other alternative and must let God do the necessary work in their lives, not me.
It kinda makes me think, though, in what areas I’m immature and am still blinded to it. No one considers themselves immature.

I am inspired by the landscape of the Texas coastal plain. The lush trees harboring deep pockets of cooling shade beneath them and the numerous ponds with vibrant flora and curious small life forms provide endless sources of visual interest. I am captivated by the reflections in the ponds and still waters here. Sometimes the reflections are crisp and static, but the occasional coastal breeze induces ripples that fragment the reflections or cut across them entirely. The flora are frequently vibrant in color, and floating on a dark silky pond, they give the impression of an abstract painting by Kandinsky or Miro - just little rounded shapes floating in the ether.
The landscape of the Texas Hill Country also inspires me, but the elements here are somewhat different. There are also magnificent trees, but of different shapes and sizes, and there are plenty of ponds, rivers, and streams to provide wonder. Here the water is probably moving, either rapidly rushing its way downstream, leaving little bubble trails behind, or slowly meandering towards a deep lake somewhere. Usually, that moving water is swirling around rocks, drawing lines of highlight and wavering reflections, or cascading over rocks and creating great splashes of whiteness.
I take solitary walks in the woodlands around Houston, where I live, and on the occasional visit to the Hill Country. These walks are an essential spiritual practice. I see the trees, water and the rocks, but there is always something else here - something intangible and mysterious and that cannot be seen. I sense it in the water, and I feel it emanate from the rocks. I hear it as a whisper when the wind rustles through the trees. I feel its caress, and I am calmed by it.

PCT applications: International PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) applications are a ‘temporary’ phase in any international patenting process and these have a life span of 18 months. This type of application is very common in major international corporations and is used by CSIRO when it considers its invention may have wide commercial application. In view of the 18-month time span, it is reasonable to approximate that two-thirds of the reported number were filed in the previous 12 month period.
Live patent cases: A live patent case is where either a patent application or a granted patent exists. It does not include cases that have lapsed, expired or been withdrawn. Applications may include provisional applications, PCT applications, and applications pending in Australia or foreign jurisdictions.
Conference papers: Includes published conference papers, abstracts or edited proceedings.

What Exactly is Live for Five?
Live for Five is 5-week program where Marty Dickinson works directly with you to improve your live video presentation skills in a secured, supportive small group of 5 total participants.
How is Live for Five Conducted?
You will meet in our virtual session room from the comfort from your home, office, or any other location where you can access the internet. Each session will be at the same time each week for five consecutive weeks and will last a maximum of one hour. Marty Dickinson is the lead facilitator for each session. You choose the day and time that works best for you.
What Happens in a Live for Five Session?
At each week’s Live for Five session, you will give a short 5-minute presentation with only the other participants in your group as the live audience.
You can choose any topic you would like to present, but we strongly suggest you practice presenting your business and topics surrounding your industry of expertise. You will receive immediate feedback as to what you did well and areas to improve. Then, you will be assigned specific tasks and objectives for your next presentation the following week.
How Exactly will 5 Presentations in 5 Sessions Benefit Me?
By following the guidelines in the short curriculum and Best Practices we will provide you with, you will be confident in producing live video on your own. The first live video you perform to your potential customers and clients will look like you are already an experienced live video presenter. And, you will be!
One Package Price Gets You All of These!
For Marty Dickinson to conduct five one-hour sessions, a total of 10 hours is worked. His actual time for 10 hours of service time would normally be $1,600. By being part of a small group of 5, you benefit by sharing the cost as part of reduced package pricing. Here are all of the components provided to assure your live video learning is a success.
At the core of the Live for Five program are the live training sessions themselves. You will meet once per week, for one hour or less, in a private (secure) virtual room from the comfort of your home, office, or anywhere you can have an internet connection. Only 5 participants are allowed per session. All sessions start and end on-time.
Up to 5 hours of Marty’s one-on-one support is provided throughout the five weeks. Questions can be answered and mentoring provided through online chat, texting or phone.
Watching your video performance is critical to your own skills development. After every session we will send a link to you so you can watch your own presentation. We recommend you watch each of your videos seven times for self-analysis and improvement.
Live for Five provides a structured educational program with the goal of providing you with experience for five of the most important live video presentation types. The presentation skills objectives are different for each of the five presentations you will be making. For example, you use different skills and approaches speaking into your laptop cam than when using your iPhone in selfie position. Each of these skills is provided in a written form so that you can construct your presentation with those Best Practices in mind. Instructional videos are provided to supplement each objective.
Promotion to people in your target audience before you hit the “Live” button is important so that your followers had an opportunity to interact with you during the video. We will promote your public live videos to our Here Next Year lists and social networks.
If you think it will be helpful for us to promote your live videos to our own lists and followers, how about if we encourage OTHER Live for Five members in all of our groups to promote your live video? Members will be happy to contribute to your traffic building because they will look forward to you promoting their live videos to your followers for those topics you feel your followers may benefit from.
After your completion of Live for Five, we will invite you to be a guest presenter at our live business networking events. Where attendees get only 30 seconds to share their elevator pitches, you will be a featured speaker to the group to present for 5-8 minutes. Plus, we will record your presentation and feature it on our social networks!
Marketing after the video is complete is just as important as encouraging people to watch the video live. You’ll learn how to list your video on YouTube for best SERPs (Search Engine Results Positions). Remember, Marty Dickinson is co-author of two Web Marketing All-in-One for Dummies (Wiley) books. So, you get the added bonus of having a 20-year web marketing specialist in your corner.
Get immediate access to our members area where we store all of our live video files including documents, images, tools, and support videos. You will have access to this area for LIFE! This one component is equivalent to what most people are offering to help you improve your live video skills. Where they are charging, you get this resource FREE as part of the Live for Five package.
One thing we’ve learned after participants go their separate ways after initial training is that questions still emerge. New technologies are released. Part of this package includes your ability to get support by text, Instant Messaging (IM), or phone for one year.
Want to lead a session like Live for Five for your own clients? We’ll provide you with everything you need to get started. Certification requires your presence and participation at two additional sessions. We will prepare an official certificate for proof of certification.
As you can see, this package deal would be a steal at $2,500. In fact, as Live for Five becomes more popular, that will be the suggested package price for certified instructors offering this program.
But, you are coming into the program at the perfect time while it’s still young and building. Your one-time package price today is just one investment of $997.
For your convenience, six different time slots are available. Select the one that works best for your schedule over the next five weeks. New days and times will be added every few weeks, so if you do not see the time and day that works for you, let us know and we just may add a class for that time and day.

“Scope, Schedule, Budget. Pick two.” This unattributed quote is famous among people who manage projects for a living. The Triple Constraint, it is formally called by the Project Management Institute. I’ve been doing this so long that I often assume everyone understands the fundamental nature of this concept. It is pretty simple, but the nuances are tricky.
Schedule: When will it be done? When can I move in? When’s dinner?
Budget: How many people will we need? What will it cost? Who’s buying dinner?
“Pick two” means that you can impose your will on two of the three, but I get to calculate the third. If you want a gourmet dinner by 6:00 pm this evening (scope and schedule) then I get to calculate the cost (probably a lot because I will have to pull some strings). If you want a gourmet dinner for under $30, then I get to calculate the schedule and will probably ask for more time to find some chef willing to work for free. You get the idea, right?
The nuance comes when your boss tells you they want a gourmet dinner tonight for under $30. Now, you have to figure out which of those three the boss really values the most. You might have to apply creative license to “gourmet” or you may be a little later than 6:00 or it may run a little over $30.
But what about the real world? The truth is executives often will try to impose all three on you. Usually in the form of cutting budget or adding scope during the course of the project. Do not, under any circumstances, throw your humble blogger under the bus. Simply add a prominent risk to your list. For example, if your budget was cut, the risk is that you will miss the date or not everything the boss wanted will get done. If scope is added, the risk is that you will blow your budget.
I could go on for hours about how to document and manage risks but then I’d risk missing my buss.
Scope, Schedule, Budget: Which two would you pick?

Data Recovery Broxtowe: Recovering data from hard drives and other storage devices is something that our engineers do exceptionally well and have been doing for the last 16 + years. During that time they have recovered data from every conceivable storage device you could care to mention and have done so with a success rate that others have found hard to match and certainly hard to better. Using the most up-to-the-minute data recovery technology in clean environments and combining that with their own bespoke data recovery methods has meant our engineers can offer clients just like you the perfect one-stop-shop data recovery solution; call us today on 0115 8220606 to find out more and to receive a free no obligation quotation.
What’s the first reaction of any computer user when they cannot access the data on their hard drive or similar storage device? Frustration, panic, anger, the occasional expletive – we have all been there and our data recovery Broxtowe engineers know only too well the mixture of emotions felt when the data you need is so close yet so far. Staring at a dialogue box or blinking cursor that signifies your data is there but not accessible has to be something that ranks high up on any computer user’s list of irritations.
’SIOABOA’! What does it mean? Well to many it has become something of a joke in IT circles – ‘Switch it off and back on again’. You may have heard this refrained countless times and may even have carried out the practice yourself but our data recovery Broxtowe engineers cannot emphasise the importance of steering clear of this particular technique. Imagine if you will standing on an escalator and someone switching it off at the top or bottom (depending on whichever way you are going); the sudden switching off of the escalator would send you hurtling forward and the same principle applies to hard drives. Suddenly cutting the power to a hard drive prevents the platters and heads from slowly spinning to a stop and renders them suddenly stationary, in many instances pushing them off their axis and causing them to collide which results in the failure of a hard drive because platters and read/write heads etc. are not supposed to meet (this is why they are separated by thin cushions of air).
We are proud to be able to offer our clients a data recovery service that will ensure the safe return of their data on a new media or external storage device which will allow them to pick up where they left off rather suddenly after the failure of their hard drive or similar device.
What should I do in the event of a hard drive crash?
Our data recovery Broxtowe engineers offer this advice; if your hard drive has suddenly begun to fail then switch the computer off and leave it off. Do not attempt to switch it back on as this will only go towards reducing the remaining life expectancy of the drive in question. Leave the computer switched off to avoid a mechanical failure and consult our engineers on 0115 8220606 – telephone lines are manned 9am to 6pm Monday to Friday and our data recovery centre operates to these same hours.
If your drive has failed calling our data recovery Broxtowe engineers is the first step on the road to recovery (if you will excuse the pun). A member of our team will discuss all of the available options with you and diagnose the problem initially by telephone, they will also provide you with a no obligation quotation (this may include a charge levied if the drive has suffered mechanical damage) and details of our No Fix No Fee policy. If you are happy to continue then we ask that you send the affected device to us at our data recovery Broxtowe and Nottinghamshire centre.
We will happily accept receipt of your drive by post, courier or in person if you are able to drop it in to us and our data recovery Broxtowe engineers will then make a definitive diagnosis of the problem. After completing a full inspection of the drive our personnel will report back to you with a complete diagnosis and a list of all the data that can be recovered – this will be done by email. (If your data exceeds our 30GBs standard allowance normally recovered to data DVDs we ask that you purchase an external storage device from our stores). Once you are happy that we can recover the data you require we ask that you make payment to us in full by credit or debit card or BACS transfer (we do not accept PayPal) and on receipt of payment we will recover and return your data to you via next day courier service. For more information contact us on 0115 8220606 and speak to a member of our team today. Our data recovery centre is open Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm (except Christmas Day and Easter) as are our telephone lines.

Networking is all about return on investment. How will your business benefit by you attending versus the time and resources it takes to be there. Here are three essential questions you should answer in order to create a networking plan that will work for you.
If you’re not sure who the right contacts are for your business, go back and take a look at your past client list. What industries were they in? How long had they been in business? Were your clients even businesses to begin with or have you worked mostly with consumers? Put together a profile of people you’ve worked with in the past and look for patterns and trends.
You’ll generally want to spend time at the chamber of commerce, your local business association or with a referral. Not only do these groups have exactly the type of audience you want to meet, there’s a system in place that helps you help others to get more referrals for you.
Of my prospects, who exactly do I want to meet?
The idea is that the greater the number of networks you’re connected with, the greater the chance that there’s a short chain of contacts between you and anyone you’d care to name. Ask a few people a specific question or two. The answers will either put you in direct contact or lead you in the direction of the networking events you need to attend.
Finally, remember that it’s important to surround yourself with quality business contacts. The best way to your ideal contact very often is through another contact.

Why we love Monarch Leys!
John Roe runs a pedigree dairy herd of 160 Friesians and finishes 250 beef cattle a year within a stone’s throw of the south bank of the River Humber. Although not an area renowned for grass, John has developed a system that relies on high yields of top quality grass silage grown from the Monarch Maxiyield mixture.
I reseeded a grass field with Monarch Graze and Cut in September and it established quickly and looked really well all winter. I was able to graze beef cattle on it the following April and I also took a cut of silage from that field in June, after a light dressing of fertiliser.
Yield and quality both looked good – the silage is in big bales, so I’ll find out just how good it is this coming winter. I don’t do an awful lot of reseeding on my beef finisher unit, but when I do some more I’ll most definitely be using Graze and Cut mixture again.
My two fields of autumn reseeded grassland – one sown with Maxicut and the other using Maxigraze – both performed well this spring and summer. I’ve used both mixtures before, so I knew they’d establish easily and that I’d be able to graze and cut the swards come the spring.
My 160-cow dairy herd took a first bite from the Maxigraze reseed in April. And I took two cuts from the Maxicut sward and have also grazed it. The grass quality and yields were good and I’ll be using both mixtures again for future reseeds.
I’ve been using Monarch Multicut to reseed my grass silage leys for the past three years and I’m extremely pleased with the performance of the 60 acres that I have so far.
The mixture establishes well – the ley I reseeded in September 2014 was quick to emerge and we had good coverage before the winter. It was ready for some slurry by February and I took a first cut in mid May, a second in early July, followed by a third at the end of August.
The mixture yields well and I know I’m going to have a clamp full of good quality forage to feed to my 290-cow dairy herd. I’m going to stick with Monarch for my future reseeds.
As a seed sales specialist, John works with growers and distributors to ensure our customers get the most from our forage, game cover and environmental products. John is also closely involved in developing the Monarch and LG Animal Nutrition range of grasses and in other industry projects such as Grassright.

Prithviraj Sukumaran was in the trailer of 'Lucifer'?
Apart from being a promising actor in Malayalam cinema, Tovino Thomas is also a doting husband and father of one. The star, who will soon be seen in the film 'Lucifer', married his longtime girlfriend, Lidiya even before he entered the industry and later welcomed a daughter Izza together. The actor has spoken time and again about his love story, but he hadn't revealed how he fell head over heels in love, until now. In a recent interview with Filmfare, the actor revealed how he met his wife and how they fell in love.
Talking about their first meeting in a classroom, Tovino said, ''I was studying in 11th grade, she was in the same school but in a different division. But as we chose Malayalam as the second language, we both came together during the Malayalam period. So the first day of our Malayalam class, the teacher asked us to pen down the Malayalam alphabets. But as I was reaching towards its end, I got a little confused. As I have studied Hindi before I had a little bit of confusion with the order of these alphabets. So while I was sitting perplexed, I saw a girl sitting beside my bench, relaxed as she has completed writing. So I asked her if she could show me her paper so that I could copy the alphabets. She helped me."
He went on to explain how their friendship later blossomed into a romance and finally ended up tying the knot in 2014.
The actor has often gushed about how supportive his wife is and how she inspired him to chase his dreams of building a career in the film industry.

Abstract Securities is set to lease close to half of its Renaissance scheme in Croydon to the Pension Protection Fund in a significant vindication of its decision to speculatively develop the 100,000 sq ft headquarters, CoStar News can reveal.
PPF, the statutory fund set up in 2004 under the Pensions Act to deal with public concern over employee pensions, has gone under offer to take 39,396 sq ft across the first and second floors in what is understood to be the largest letting in Croydon for more than a decade.
It will move from Knollys House at 17 Addiscombe Road in Croydon and is thought to be paying close to the £22 per sq ft quoting rent on the basis of a 15-year unbroken lease.
PPF is understood to have also shortlisted Wainbridge's 112,329 sq ft Sunley House and CarVal Investors and Canmoor's redevelopment of Interchange Croydon, a 183,300 sq ft headquarters at 81- 85 Wellesley Road, both of which are understood to have primarily missed out because they were unable to house the company across just two floors.
Abstract (Croydon Ltd), a wholly owned subsidiary of Mark Glatman’s Abstract Securities, gained consent in April 2012 and has been speculatively developing the scheme – rebranded “Renaissance” – at 9-12 and 13-16 Dingwall Road next to East Croydon Station for completion this summer.
Bowmer & Kirland is contractor while Knight Frank and Vanessa Clark’s Sinclair Clark have been marketing the scheme.
Abstract is financing the build cost of the scheme entirely from its own balance sheet and funding from a private third-party partner. Abstract went under offer to buy the NAMA controlled site out of receivership at the end of November 2011 for £3.2m.
The second part of the site - 13-16 Dingwall Road – had consent for a 17-storey, 250,000 sq ft office building. The other site – 9-12 Dingwall Road – is allocated for a circa 30,000 sq ft office development.
Abstract however replaced the proposals with a scaled back net 100,000 sq ft BREEAM 2011 Excellent scheme offering 20,000 sq ft floorplates and marketing at rents of £22 per sq ft.
Glatman, one of property’s canniest investors, said the acquisition fitted with his principal focus at present on the development of ‘austerity offices’.
Glatman argues that via a combination of tight design and procurement processes – especially in the purchase of land at the lowest point in the development cycle – Abstract will be able to significantly undercut the local alternatives for quality office space.
The strategy is being mirrored in Glasgow where Abstract acquired a 170,000 sq ft speculative office development opportunity at 301-303 St Vincent Street Glasgow out of receivership. The 1.5 acre site was owned by Castlemore Securities before the company went into administration in February 2009. Abstract is targeting rents there of £23 per sq ft to undercut the area’s top rent of £28 per sq ft.
Established in April 2000 by former Akeler chief Mark Glatman, the Abstract group of companies brings together combined experience of over 6m sq ft of business space development across the UK and Europe.

In 1992, Rolex enhanced the women’s Datejust collection with a new version dubbed the Pearlmaster. Positioned as a jewelry watch, the Datejust Pearlmaster is exclusively crafted in 18k gold—yellow, white, or Everose gold—and more often than not, includes diamonds or other gems. Of course, as a Datejust watch, the Pearlmaster flaunts the famous date window and Cyclops magnification lens combination too.
The ladies’ Datejust Pearlmaster is, in fact, named after the bracelet that accompanies it. Reminiscent of a high jewelry piece, the solid gold Pearlmaster bracelet includes rounded five‑piece links in varying sizes. Furthermore, the Pearlmaster bracelet is always equipped with the concealed Crownclasp.
As with other Rolex dress watch collections, the Pearlmaster offers plenty of variety includes a trio of sizes. Today we explore three different sizes of the yellow gold ladies’ Datejust Pearlmaster.
The smallest versions of the yellow gold ladies’ Datejust Pearlmaster models are those with the 29mm Oyster cases—a very wearable size for almost all women. Not too big and not too small. Aside from the assortment of dials, the Pearlmaster 29 offers a selection of bezels too.
There are the bezels with just one larger triangular diamond at the 12 o’clock position (ref. 69328), the bezels dotted with 12 white diamonds (ref. 69318 and ref. 80318), and the full diamond-set bezels (ref. 69298 and ref. 80298). Furthermore, there’s also the yellow gold ladies’ Datejust Pearlmaster ref. 69308 with baguette-cut gems with a choice of diamonds, sapphires, rubies, or emeralds.
For a bigger version of the yellow gold ladies’ Datejust Pearlmaster, Rolex added the Pearlmaster 34 timepieces to the lineup. Again, there’s a wide range of bezels to choose from ranging from smooth ones (ref. 81208) to ones adorned with a dozen fine diamonds (ref. 81318) to ones with a full ring of diamonds (ref. 81158).
For an ultra-lavish edition of the yellow gold ladies’ Datejust Pearlmaster, there’s the opulent Pearlmaster ref. 81388 with two rows of diamonds on the bezel and a Pearlmaster bracelet decorated with a diamond wave pattern. Plus, for those who enjoy colorful gems, the Pearlmaster ref. 81348 dons a bezel embellished with luscious sapphires in different shades of pink.
In 2015, Rolex unveiled yet another larger size of the yellow gold ladies’ Datejust Pearlmaster with the new Pearlmaster 39. These particular Pearlmaster models are some of Rolex’s most colorful creations to date. The yellow gold ladies’ Datejust Pearlmaster ref. 86348SAJOR shines bright with a yellow and orange sapphire-set bezel while the Pearlmaster ref. 86348SABLV dazzles with a green and blue sapphire bezel.
In addition to the new style of bezels, these two yellow gold ladies’ Datejust Pearlmaster 39 watches are also noteworthy for debuting the new Caliber 3235 automatic movement. The new generation Rolex Cal. 3255 boasts 14 patents, a new Chronergy escapement for increased efficiency, and an improved power reserve of 70 hours. Furthermore, the Cal. 3235 falls under Rolex’s revised Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified standard with an impressive accuracy rating of -2/+2 seconds per day.
For women looking for the ultimate status jewelry watch, the yellow gold ladies’ Datejust Pearlmaster watches not only dress the part, but are also backed by Rolex’s famous perpetual mechanical movements. Whether in 29mm, 34mm, or 39mm, the Datejust Pearlmaster is a ladies’ luxury watch to fall in love with.

Highwood Road in Patchway will in future be accessible by buses and taxis only, as part of a pioneering scheme to link the communities of Patchway and Charlton Hayes via a car-free ‘linear park’ featuring new trees, play areas and cycle and walking routes.
Work on parts of the scheme had been suspended by developer Bovis Homes pending council confirmation of the Traffic Regulation Orders needed to create the dedicated public transport route.
The council introduced experimental Orders in October 2012 to help assess the potential impact of the scheme, and work can now continue after a majority of councillors voted to make the Orders permanent.
Highwood Road was previously a major dual carriageway route to The Mall and Cribbs Causeway, but through traffic now uses the new Hayes Way route which opened in 2010 and provides a direct link from the A38 to Cribbs Causeway.
Proposals for a bus-only route along Highwood Road emerged in initial consultation on the future of the North Fringe area and were developed in consultation with local people as part of the master plan for the Charlton Hayes development in 2008.
The approved plans will see the northern carriageway of Highwood Road permanently downgraded to a speed-restricted bus/taxi-only route, helping to remove a busy traffic ‘barrier’ between the existing Patchway community to the north of the road and the new Charlton Hayes development to the south.
The southern half of the carriageway will be closed entirely and incorporated into a landscaped green open space, or ‘linear park’, running the length of Highwood Road.
The public transport route will also form part of the planned North Fringe to Hengrove bus rapid transit route, helping to improve public transport and tackle congestion throughout the West of England.
The work is being funded by Charlton Hayes developer Bovis Homes, as part of the Section 106 agreement for the new housing development.

As one of the less than easy surfaces in your home to clean, carpeting can accumulate dust and debris (which can contribute to asthma and other health problems) and can be hard to remove stains. This article provides a quick overview to the common chemicals you'll find in carpet cleaners and how to start cleaning your carpet naturally.
While you might be tempted to rush out and rent your own carpet cleaner using their recommended shampooing products or hire a professional carpet cleaner for a thorough clean you should thoroughly investigate their potential health harms. Here are some common chemicals that are used to formulate carpet cleaners: perchloroethylene (perc) (a common chemical used in dry cleaning), naphthalene (which goes by moth flakes, white tar, or tar camphor and is highly toxic to children and pets), hydrochloric acid (or chlorine bleach, which is highly toxic), and formaldehyde (which can offgas in your home and contribute to many health problems, including cancer).
Regular vacuuming: Vacuuming your carpets at least once a week will help prevent dirt build-up and make your carpets last longer. Choose a green vacuum for an even greener clean.
Act quickly: When spills happen, clean them up as quickly as possible. Blot (don’t rub) with a clean rag to get up as much of the spill as possible and then treat with our natural carpet stain removal tricks.
Natural carpet cleaners: Use nontoxic carpet cleaning products by biokleen, AFM Safechoice, Nature Clean, Simple Green, or Seventh Generation. And don’t forget to consider the animals by opting for vegan products that haven’t been tested on animals - looking for the Leaping Bunny Logo or the Certified Vegan Logo to be sure that you’ve got a cruelty-free product.
Deodorize naturally: Deodorize your carpeting with natural odor removers that are inexpensive and easy to find. Learn more with our DIY Natural Carpet Freshener recipe.
Hire a carpet cleaning pro: Green carpet cleaners will be able to do the job more thoroughly than you may be able to, but be sure that you seek out a professional that uses green carpet cleaning techniques. Ask whether they use eco-friendly carpet cleaning products and if they use water-conservation techniques.
With these eco carpet cleaners and tricks, you should be able to make your home safer and more pleasant to live in without compromising on your cleaning standards!

I am also wondering the same thing as I will be arriving near end of May. Hope it all gets sorted out by then.
As far as it happens, only obstacle for people here is curfew executed during 10pm - 5am execpt people who have necessary cause like night shift workers, travelers etc.
Overall is not that much violent as far as you don't put yourself in risky situation.
Thanks everyone for your replies. Is bangkok safe for tourists considering the recent clash at MBK?

In Zurich, Copenhagen, Berlin, Vienna, Munich, Stockholm and Amsterdam I traveled on transit networks that struck me as far superior to anything available in the states. Even New York City compares badly. Further, these cities are linked to other European metropolises by gleaming, clean, comfy, frequent running trains.
I believe many Americans would be shocked by the light-footed carfree mobility available in these cities. (Although their transit networks coexist with auto traffic.) Hop on a train downtown; hop on a tram or bus for shopping; hop on another train for a weekend in Paris, Rome, Vienna; go wherever you wish, no car needed. The USA doesn’t just fail to match up; it looks backward, pathetic.
In Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong and Shanghai, I rode huge, modern, clean, jam-packed metros that advertise poorly for the carfree life, and would make many tourists thankful for cars in sprawling suburbs. I couldn’t and can’t picture Asian VIPs getting around in these swamped-with-humanity subways. The brawny rail transit networks are for separate-and-unequal masses, and underscored the hated car’s potential role as an equalizer, a liberator.
In Rome and Buenos Aires, I rode wretched, graffiti’d metros that I interpreted as failures of government, that reminded me of municipal dysfunction sometimes seen in the U.S.
I suspect that most cities are kludges, as the human brain is an evolutionary kludge, and grew in messy, helter-skelter ways. Visiting dozens of ’em helped hammer that point home. New York City got a subway to transport dense-dwelling masses when cars were finicky, pricey and rare. Greater Los Angeles, in turn, mostly happened in the age of the automobile, and had plenty of real estate to spread upon.
I may adore planned, transit-oriented developments like those surrounding Stockholm and Copenhagen, but can’t cite all that many of them. Human agglomerations may be unpredictable, tough to accommodate in long-range plans. What if Henry Ford hadn’t grown up in Michigan?
What gets built generally stays put, for better or worse, becomes part of city infrastructure until the next catastrophe or war. Los Angeles and Houston freeways are the homely fruit of billions of investment dollars. These cities are as likely to reinvent themselves as transit Shangri-las as Mount Everest is to reinvent itself as a cow pasture.
I’m more convinced than ever that big, thriving cities as a whole — and please heed that qualifier, gentle reader — can fare better by emphasizing alternatives to the car. They can be greener, better looking, safer, friendlier, less congested, more walkable, superior in almost every respect. The personal automobile deserves its rep as one of history’s most destructive consumer products.
Alas, if the city can’t or won’t make car alternatives work, the individual member of that vast municipal organism may be better off if she owns one. Cars are speedier, more comfortable, tote cargo, don’t go on strike, insulate riders from vomiting drunks and other unappealing fellow citizens. Most importantly, the personal car encourages the kind of spread-out, quarter-acre-of-your-own, every-man-a-king living that urban planners decry as sprawl, but that can look mighty appealing to someone trapped in a transit-friendly cubbyhole next door to a Death Metal buff.
I can’t prove it, but would make book that virtually all American politicians and VIPs choose the personal car for their own travel. (Some credible exceptions: Michael Bloomberg of New York, VP Joe Biden, Berkeley mayor Tom Bates.) I can’t see Miley or the Biebs closing the concert early to catch the last Wilshire 720; can you? I think Jane Q. Public should assume that the U.S.A.’s rich and celebrated are going to get around in cars, and that a call for her to rely on a transit pass is an implied call for her to live without a luxury they’ll retain for themselves.
Jane can contemplate the deal she is getting — not the deal described in a perhaps compromised local press, but the deal she sees and experiences with her own eyes. If she’s in Zurich, Copenhagen, Berlin, Vienna, Munich, Stockholm or Amsterdam, she’s getting an extraordinarily good deal, and may actually be joined on those S-Bahn trains by city leaders on their everyday commutes. The transit dream works in these places. I know it does; I’ve seen it.
In other cities, Jane gets a good-enough deal; in still others, a so-so deal. In many habitually dysfunctional cities, the deal is rotten, and sincere, committed individual leaders in that city may be powerless to make it any better.
If a disease like ebola ever goes airborne, commuters will cling to their cars like starving refugees clinging to loaves of bread, and will despise the earth trod by anyone who ever tried to talk them out of their car keys.
Perhaps Mother Earth needs writers who will carry Her divine water.

Eli Dapas (Defes), chairman of Israel’s leading airline El Al, warns in a letter to the deputy head of Israel’s National Security Council Eytan Ben-David and the Director General of the Prime Minister’s Office Yoav Horowitz that all Israeli airlines will stop flying from January 1, 2019, because of security concerns abroad, according to the Hebrew-language newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth published this Sunday.
The reason for all flights being halted is the refusal of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to continue employing security guards worldwide, Eli Dapas said in the letter.
Indeed, Dapas received a letter from the Director-General of the Foreign Ministry saying the Ministry will no longer employ security workers at foreign airports after January 1, 2019, because no agreement has been reached between the Ministry and these 1,200 employees serving as assistants of security officers in the destinations flown by Israeli international airlines El Al, Arkia and Israir.
The ministry appears to be insisting on its position, placing the winter schedule of the Israeli airlines in jeopardy. The ministry is telling El Al that it will have to find solutions by itself, which could mean employing local security personnel, changing a system that has been in place for many years. The Ministry of Finance currently pays 90% of the overseas security costs of Israeli airlines, amounting to hundreds of millions of shekels annually.
The Office of Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu, however, said the issue was expected to be resolved within the next few days.

Why is the Pyramid Model being used instead of a different social emotional curriculum?
The Pyramid Model is not a social emotional curriculum. It is a framework for supporting children’s social emotional competence. This framework consists of universal supports for all children to promote wellness, targeted services to those who need more support, and intensive services to those who need them.
How can I learn more about the Pyramid Model?
You can attend one of the workshops offered by Nevada TACSEI.

Whether you hunt for pleasure or the pot you are using a resource. If wisely managed, the resource is renewable and game populations should replenish themselves and continue to benefit future generations. While antelope populations can be fenced-in and managed by individual landowners, birds are not limited by farm or political boundaries and as such they need to be treated as a shared resource; the property of no-one, but the responsibility of everyone.
While those who manage the land need to ensure that there is adequate habitat to maintain healthy gamebird populations, those who hunt need to ensure that they don’t remove more than what can be replaced. Ethical hunters may claim that they never take more than they need and this sound approach was probably an adequate level of control when hunters were few and widely spaced. Unfortunately as the demand for resources grows and the rural landscapes that provide them become smaller and increasingly fragmented, improved management is required. The Gauteng Provincial Government through the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development is mandated to regulate use of indigenous biodiversity and must ensure that hunting remains within sustainable limits.
The distribution, density and productivity of gamebird species varies across South Africa. Each province therefore has the responsibility to determine which species may be hunted (ordinary game), the period when they may be hunted (open season), the maximum number of birds that may be hunted per person (daily bag limit) and the area where they may be hunted (magisterial district).
Gamebirds which are considered able to sustain managed harvesting in Gauteng are grouped as waterfowl (Egyptian Goose, Red-billed Teal, Yellow-billed Duck and Spur-winged Goose), landfowl (Helmeted Guineafowl and Swainson’s Spurfowl) and doves/pigeons (Speckled Pigeon). Species within a group have the same open season which is timed, as far as possible and practical, to avoid the main breeding period of each member.
Bag limits are set per species and are revised annually on the basis of available population data. Province-wide trends for landfowl and waterfowl are derived largely from two citizen science-based monitoring projects, the Coordinated Waterbird Count project (CWAC) and the Coordinated Avifaunal Roadcount (CAR). Counts are conducted during summer and winter and cover thousands of hectares of waterfowl habitat and over 1300km of farm roads.
While it is acknowledged that licensed hunting is only one of several variables that are likely to affect gamebird populations (others include climate and habitat change, poisoning and illegal harvest), with the support of hunters such offtake is easily and accurately measured. Hunting returns are not a bureaucratic exercise to be ignored or fudged over a beer late one night. The data generated allows resource managers to assess patterns of use and make better informed decisions that ultimately stand to benefit hunters. Record what you hunt (as well as where and when) while you hunt it and help to ensure that gamebird populations in the province persist at levels that can sustain hunting.

Actually taste counts for a LOT and that includes taste in camera images.
I'm cutting an entire DPRTV episode shot on the S1 with 10 Bit 4:2:0 HLG. Not doing anything overly demanding, but I'm finding it has a really nice, organic look. You can all let me know what you think when it goes up this weekend.
Quite true. That’s why there are dozens of non IBIS cinema cameras to choose from. Don’t see why there can’t be one IBIS video camera though. Lots of professionals use a GH5 and its IBIS - and know when to turn it off and on depending on the shooting situation. I’m not asking for a cinema camera to shoot feature films on. I’m asking for a FS5/C100 workhorse MFT video camera (or Fuji X) with all the things video cameras have - and some tech transferred over from mirrorless cams.
Yea it seems like a slam dunk if they can combine the GH5s low light with GH5 IBIS in there too. I think there’s a big user base who wants a stabilized mini cinema camera - but nobody will give it.
Speaking of IR and the Pocket 4k... talk about perfect timing! Test starts about 4:30 in.
Nice job, I liked the color a lot. If this is you studying, I look forward to what you do when you graduate! What lens(es) did you use?
This time last year I couldn't resist anymore when I saw an fs700u pop up for very cheap. I snagged it and have slowly been acquiring the kit pieces that it was missing as it came without accessories. Need to send it into Sony to have is R upgraded and I'm keeping an eye on Shogun Infernos, especially now that the new shogun has come out as well.
Cameras convert ideas, planning, setup, teamwork, passion, skill, practice, attitude, and luck into files on a hard-drive. Then editing software converts vision, taste, timing, essence, persistence, and files on the hard drive into a finished film. This is why a great camera makes no improvement to a bad situation, and a bad camera takes only a small amount away from a lot of hard work and dedication.
Fabulous. I thought some of the angles and composition were superb. I’m not sure I am clever enough to follow the story but thoroughly enjoyable. Indeed, inspirational!
