residential and professional workshops and auto body shops.
Metal building kits work well for professionals or hobbyists who need a reliable strong structure that is appealing and costs less for materials, components and labor. Among the workshop buildings we have sold many are used for automotive, metal or woodworking workshops, and lawn and landscaping workshops.
A traditional workshop has greater contractor labor costs and more expensive materials so that is why the metal building kit is so popular. You can also choose from 17 AkzoNobel Ceram-A-Star® 1050 coating systems colors and hundreds of color combinations for your walls, trim and roof that you can compliment your home.
The clear span design gives you the entire interior for work space for laying out and designing wood working shops, car restoration shops, auto body shops or just general workshops for your particular hobbies and needs.
Add in the many accessories you can install such as insulated walls and roof, WT doors and sliding windows, interior lighting, skylights, several types of ventilation, heating and AC to accommodate your needs.
After your and survey is complete you will lay a foundation before you erect your metal workshop. Plan on your interior electrical and plumbing infrastructure and where it will go, if needed. For climate control systems, depending on the size of your workshop often window A/C, fans and portable heaters serve the purpose. You can also use different ventilation systems to keep the air fresh inside and pull fumes or contaminants out of the building.
Have fun customizing and planning your interior with equipment such as woodworking machines, welding stations, machining stations, paint and prep stations, autobody stalls, or auto lifts in your custom workshop. The metal building is the best option for security, building stability (certified across the globe for hurricane force winds and heavy snow loads), lower cost and low maintenance.
Usually the average size residential workshop is 20 - 40 feet wide by 25 -40 feet deep. Tis allows you extra space for vehicles and still enough room for your workspace. Consider the roof pitch and height of your ceiling if you have equipment that needs the head room operate such as lifts and overhead mechanisms.
Utilize our turnkey construction services for pouring foundations, land surveys, permits, building construction and on-site consultation. Our network of metal building crews and company approved contractors that specialize in metal buildings takes the burden off of you and gets the building constructed the correct way and more quickly.
Talk to a specialist and have a free consultation about your metal workshop plans. You can visit our online metal building price calculator to design your building’s size, colors, and features to instantly get a price on your building.

BRIDGETON � A Havelock man who lost control of his motorcycle and crashed while merging from N.C. 55 onto U.S. 17 near Bridgeton on Saturday has died.
Barrett Dean Vogel, 45, died as a result of the injuries he sustained in the wreck. He was a former U.S. Marine who worked at Fleet Readiness Center East at Cherry Point.
Vogel was a 2009 graduate of Craven Community College, where he had studied Machining Technology. He also had served as a member of the college�s team of Student Ambassadors.
According to the N.C. State Highway Patrol, the wreck occurred shortly after 6 p.m. when Vogel swerved while on the on-ramp, lost control of his Harley-Davidson motorcycle and struck a guardrail.
The crash threw him about 30 feet into some adjoining woods. Sgt. T.C. Wells of the Highway Patrol said troopers estimate Vogel was traveling at about 60 mph at the time of the crash; the speed limit on the ramp is 55 mph.
Vogel was airlifted to Vidant Medical Center in Greenville, but later died.

Overcoming the Financial Burden Long-Term Care | Gerald Winters P.C.
Can you afford to pay for long-term care if you need a nursing home or adult day care?
For decades, the stigma surrounding putting a parent in a nursing home drove many families to make great sacrifices in order to keep elderly family members at home in their declining years.
Today, not only has that stigma somewhat lifted, but 4 out of 10 people surveyed believe that they will not need long-term care and/or that the government’s Medicare program will pay for their long-term care if they do. Unfortunately, this mindset may present devastating financial consequences down the line for the majority of Americans.
First, the U.S. Administration on Aging estimates that 70% of those over age 65 will need some form of long-term assistance with their daily activities, so this confidence is misplaced in a significant number of people. Second, Medicare won’t cover long-term care and the eligibility requirements for Medicaid’s long-term care benefits are difficult to meet for many who are neither low-income nor disabled—at least not without proper legal guidance and planning.
Understandably, there is public confusion over the complex differences between Medicare and Medicaid. While both are government-sponsored programs that provide health care benefits, the eligibility requirements and benefits differ. In the simplest comparison on the issue of long-term care benefits, Medicaid does cover long-term care (but only for low-income or disabled individuals), whereas Medicare (which generally benefits people over 65) does not cover long-term care.
The same survey indicated that thirty-six (36%) percent of respondents felt confident and another thirty-six (36%) percent felt somewhat confident that they could pay for long-term care if needed, whereas twenty-four (24%) percent had little or no confidence in their ability to afford long-term care.
Not surprisingly, the groups reporting greater confidence were generally comprised of those in good health, with higher incomes, and advanced education. Notably, this population may be more likely to have larger retirement savings or the ability to afford the often burdensome cost of long-term care insurance premiums. Those with long-term care insurance policies should review them carefully as many have high deductibles and/or limitations that may not cover all long-term care expenses.
With the costs of long-term care estimated at upwards of $92,000 per year for a nursing home resident, it’s easy to see how a comfortable retirement nest egg that took a lifetime to build could be wiped out quickly, leaving people in financial ruin and with nothing to pass on to future generations.
Fortunately, Medicaid eligibility law attorneys can review your particular financial situation and, through strategic divestment planning, may be able to help you qualify for Medicaid so that your long-term care is covered. They know what is required in order to comply with regulations involving look-back periods, income caps, transfer penalties and waiting periods.

Ex Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has apologised after sensationally spitting at a fourteen year old girl and her dad on the motorway. The Sky TV pundit had been driving back from the Manchester United V Liverpool clash and was clearly a little annoyed at the result.
It’s an absolute bloody disgrace. I mean I didn’t see the incident nor have any context for it but I am outraged to say the least.
@Kopklopp: He didn’t spit he had a mouthful of water and was shocked by some act of cruelty, probably to a cute animal, that he saw.
Paul Shears, who was driving the car when the incident occurred, said: I can’t believe him. All I did was follow him out of the stadium and into the car park chanting “United! United!”. Then I jostled him a bit while he was trying to get into his car you know for banter. Then I went out of my way to follow him a good 20-30 miles beeping my horn at him and flashing my lights. The only reason I wound down my window and started filming him while I goaded and goaded him was because I thought I could get internet famous. I can’t believe a professional has acted like this.
The moral of today’s story is: Feel free to behave like a wanker towards professionals then feign moral indignation when said professional reacts towards you in a unsavoury manner.

Georgia O’Keeffe, American, 1887–1986. Anything, 1916. Oil on Board, 20 x 15 3/4 in. Georgia O’Keeffe Museum. Gift of The Georgia O’Keeffe Foundation, 2006.5.29. © Georgia O’Keeffe Museum.
What if you could walk in the footsteps of one of the most influential American artists, and learn to see not only what she saw, but how she saw it? That is the experience that a group of McIntire Department of Art Professor Elizabeth Turner’s students had last summer, as they explored the impact that Georgia O’Keeffe’s five summers learning and teaching on Grounds had on her career. Beginning in 1912, when she was fresh off a self-imposed four-year artistic hiatus, O’Keeffe found regenerative inspiration here, both in the classroom, as well as in the physical environment, creating a significant notebook and series of watercolors that depict scenes across Grounds and offer tantalizing clues into the artistic DNA of this modernist movement icon.
“The notebook was not a ‘how to’ book, but rather, a way of her saying that she was fully prepared to teach this method of composition,” Turner said. “It was not meant to make you think about replicating an image, but about seeing and selecting and emphasizing the abstract principles of design discovered in the world around you. It made you aware of symmetry and asymmetry and the way in which you could be empowered to construct an image.” Johnathan Chance (SCPS ‘18) was part of a student cohort that also included Lucia Colombari, Lauren McQuistion, and Meaghan Walsh, who spent the summer retracing O’Keeffe’s footsteps and eyelines to try and see what she saw and feel what she felt, digging deep to explore vantage points now erased by the University’s architectural evolution. “Johnathan really got us started by going to the Special Collections’ archive and matching photographs to the watercolors in a way that reconnects with the University we don’t necessarily know,” Turner said, “and specifically with these spaces as they existed in 1912, 1913, or 1914, when she was making these notebooks.” “When you have a photograph in front of you,” Chance said, “you are able to see what she is zooming in on, which is significant given her interest in photography. It is an important window into her mental process, and it really speaks to things you see later in her career.” One of these things, he said, is the clear influence that UVA architecture, and specifically the Rotunda, had on her later work.

How Has Brexit Impacted Recruitment in Jersey?
Having recently attended the Fiscal Forum Panel Review, the word naturally on everyone’s lips was Brexit. While there are many unknowns at the moment, what’s equally clear is that Jersey has a unique set of circumstances that could be used to our advantage.
Although our Island’s economic forecast is uncertain and we are obviously impacted by the UK’s decision to vote to leave the EU, it’s important to focus on the fact that Jersey’s job market remains stable even following the result of the referendum.
The high number of permanent jobs in funds, trust, compliance and risk demonstrates the healthy state of recruitment as a whole, but especially for the finance industry – one of the Island’s main job providers. With employers investing more and more in training and study support, there are a number of excellent career options available to Islanders looking to begin a career in finance. This is a positive sign for things to come, especially for school leavers, graduates and those thinking of a career change.
Although employer confidence has remained, we have seen a 10% drop in the number of new jobseekers registering in comparison to 2015. This doesn’t necessarily have direct correlation with the current political situation – fluctuations do happen – but the lack of clarity may make some people think twice about applying for a new job. It’s therefore really important for us to highlight the positive trends we’ve seen in the Jersey recruitment market and assure potential jobseekers that employers are certainly still hiring and there are a number of excellent career opportunities to consider.
The knowledge alone that the market is healthy post-referendum could actually provide individual jobseekers with a distinct advantage. As demand for great candidates currently outweighs supply, now may be the perfect time to get ahead of the game with your job search. Research from the Bank of England revealed that two thirds of firms in the UK are continuing their hiring plans as normal despite Brexit and we’re seeing a similar trend in Jersey as things return to the norm. Autumn is also considered peak season for hiring and is a great time to be applying for new positions.
It remains to be seen what the full impact of Brexit will be for the Island’s job market. In the meantime, it’s encouraging to see a sustained level of confidence in Jersey at the moment and we hope to see it continue!

Cost optimal and nearly zero energy performance levels are principles initiated by the European Union’s (EU) Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, which was recast in 2010 and amended 2018. These will be major drivers in the construction sector in the next few years because all new buildings in the EU from 2021 onwards are expected to be nearly zero energy buildings (nZEB). While realised nZEBs have clearly shown that nearly-zero energy target could be achieved using existing technologies and practices, most experts agree that a broad scale shift towards nearly-zero energy buildings requires significant adjustments to prevailing building market structures. Cost-effective integration of efficient solution sets and renewable energy systems, in a form that fits with the development, manufacturing and construction industry processes, as well as with planning, design, and procurement procedures, are the major challenges.
The guideline presents a framework for ensuring the process quality of the new nZEBs. We will outline the key actions needed to ensure the achievement of energy and cost related goals presenting a replicable planning, design, construction, and operation process. The development of a clear and comprehensive life cycle process that includes the potential for specific and measurable actions (both cost savings and energy) is critical to ensure goals are met in a cost-effective manner.
In this guideline the “CRAVEzero process” is described. It organises the process of briefing, designing, constructing and operating nZEBs in different life cycle phases. Actions, stakeholder-relations, pitfalls and bottlenecks, as well as the required goals, are pointed out in detail. Considering the importance and the complexity to reach the nZEB standard in a cost-optimal way for all the different stakeholders during the process, multiple actions are required. These are however missing in the standard planning process. This report provides an operative methodology to achieve the best conditions towards cost optimal nZEBs in the whole planning, construction and operation process considering all relevant decisions, co-benefits, involved players as well as relevant cost reduction potentials. A process map that connects the entire project lifecycle for design, plan-ning, operation and end of life phase accompanies this report. This process map is a workflow that points out cost reduction potentials through all the stages of the process where all the different parts are linked to provide summaries and reports to the decision-makers in leadership roles.
How efficiently can energy be consumed?
How much energy can be produced on-site?
Which environmental conditions can be controlled?
How can be defined thermal comfort and what co-benefits can be expected?
As a main result this report also comes along with a downloadable “life cycle tracker tool”, an easy-to-use Excel file with VBA macros that combines project roles, actions, and design responsibility matrix. It is based on the experience of the whole consortium in the area of holistic project management with a focus on integral building planning of nZEBs. It gives support on how key performance parameters to achieve successful nZEBs should be prioritized and can be tracked along the whole life-cycle-process.

For years, UCC Coffee has always been my go-to place for all-girls bonding sessions with my high school friends. My top picks include their Unagi Rice Casserole, French Toast and their delicious House Blend Coffee. Be it for brunch, lunch or dinner, I always enjoy my meal at UCC Coffee.
Recently, The Food Club was invited to try UCC Coffee's newest products. This includes some savory dishes such as the Char Siu Curry Soup Spaghetti (Php. 389) that Paul enjoyed very much. Imagine having thinly slice char siu simmered in rich Japanese curry soup and served with al dente spaghetti noodles. It was so good that we actually forgot to take a photo of it. Ooops!
I, on the other hand, had the Lengua Omurice (Php. 389) which was a very heavy meal. I had to share this with Paul as the omelette was tightly packed with Japanese fried rice and they were very generous with the lengua slices too. I think I just found a new favorite which I can alternate with the Unagi Rice Casserole.
Actually, upon receiving the invite to dine at UCC Coffee, I was told that they have a new line of desserts and this is what I was initially excited to try. I've long been a fan of UCC's Tiramisu and French Toast thus I'm curious what are the new addition to their already great dessert line-up. First came the Halo Halo Cake (Php. 250). This is one of our popular local summer treats and it makes perfect sense to create a cake inspired by this. Sandwiched in between two ube chiffon slices is a mix of ube halaya, leche flan, caramelized banana, red bean, langka (jackfruit) and macapuno. That's not all! This cake is topped with cornflakes and a scoop of Nangkasuy Ice Cream too.
Woah! All the good things that we love in our glass of Halo-Halo can be found in this slice of cake. I love how the sweetness level was just right and the ube chiffon was light and fluffy. This goes well with a cup of House Blend Coffee, if you ask me.
They also have the Mais con Yelo Cake (Php. 185). Sadly, I wasn't able to try this but judging from the group's reaction, this seems to also be a winner. Layers of vanilla cake alternating with sweet corn kernels and served with more corn kernels, cornflakes and corn ice cream! Beware as this cake will surely make you really really corny!! Hehe..
There are a lot more dessert options available at UCC Coffee. Now, Milk Tea lovers will also be able to enjoy UCC's Pearl Milk Tea and Pearl Milk Coffee (Php. 119) together with their meal. They also have a couple of parfaits which will surely be a hit with the kids. There's the Mais con Yelo Parfait (Php. 199) which is very much like the cake version only it's served in a tall glass.

With all of the different mortgage types available, it’s easy to get into a mortgage that isn’t the best for you. You probably won’t even realize it.
When deciding to choose a mortgage, it is important to ask yourself what your biggest priority is. Is it to have a low monthly payment? Is it to pay off your home as quickly as possible? Are you planning on moving within five years and don’t want to commit? You should ask yourself these questions before deciding on what kind of mortgage you’ll have, because there are mortgages that cater to these kinds of needs.
Do I Want a Low Monthly Payment?
If having a low monthly payment is your main concern, there are several types of mortgages you can go with. The 30-Year fixed mortgage is the most popular. The monthly payment is usually low because of the overall loan amount divided into 30 years’ worth of payments. If having the lowest monthly payment is the biggest concern, there is the adjustable rate mortgage (ARM). The ARM offers the mortgagee an even lower monthly payment, but only for a certain number of years.
Once this period of time passes, the interest rate will adjust accordingly and so will your monthly payment. This is a good option if you need some time to get your finances in shape. Examples are: someone in the process of selling their home, or a doctor in residency who will make more money once their training is finished.
Am I Planning to Stay Here For a While?
If you’re not planning on staying in your home for a long time, an ARM might be a good option. It gives its mortgagees a lower monthly payment than that of a 30-year fixed for a certain amount of years. If you already know you are going to move elsewhere, this is a good way to pay less for your home. You can take the money from the sale of the house to pay back the remainder of the loan.
Do I Want to Get Out of Debt As Quickly As Possible?
If you want to get out of debt quickly, a 15-year fixed is the best option. While the monthly payment will be higher, you will have paid off your home in half the time. In addition to that, what you’ll pay in interest will be significantly less. Many people don’t realize this, but with a 30-year fixed rate mortgage, most of the payments during the first 12 years are going to interest.
There is no such thing as a “best mortgage.” Everyone has different priorities and lifestyles and thankfully, there are different mortgage types to accommodate. While a 30-year fixed has been the most popular, it can be considered “outdated.” It’s best to look at your own priorities and find a mortgage that best fits that.

For its very first excursion on Chandos, the Crouch End Festival Chorus presents a landmark recording of J.S. Bach’s St John Passion sung in English – the first for over forty-five years.
With communicative zeal, beautiful articulation, and focused energy, this choir of more than 100 voices lends precision and power to the performance alongside the instruments of the Bach Camerata, one of the finest UK baroque orchestras, all under the inspired direction of David Temple.
The essence of the work is the conveying of a human story underpinned by the universal themes of love, betrayal, loss, and hope. The performance in English allows the drama and visceral energy of the work to go straight to the heart of the English-speaking listener. The narrative is immediately understood, and the power of the storytelling imbues Bach’s music with extra freshness and meaning.
Thanks to an array of superb soloists and orchestral musicians, the new recording brings those qualities together in a performance which will present a well-loved piece in a completely new light, and appeal to existing and future generations of music-lovers alike.

CHICAGO — A giant new sculpture went up this week along Clark and Aldine. It stands tall, is bright red and bold. Most would never guess it was the work of an 85-year-old woman.
Ruth Aizuss Migdal has been creating art since the age of 11.
Initially she created abstract paintings but several decades ago, Ruth began playing around with clay. She liked the feeling of working the piece with her hands. Her towering sculptures begin as wax molds, each pieced together section by section.
The collection of wax covered shoes is a testament to the hours spent at her molding table. Almost all of her pieces center around the female form. Migdal says that’s intentional and is a nod to empowering women through art.
“I love making sculptures,” she said. “It is lovely to see your pieces go up outside because you never really know how it’s going to look until it’s out there standing in the light. I love the whole process.” When they are finished, they are painted bright red, gold leafed or cast in bronze.
At 85, this sculptor hasn’t lost a bit of spark and passionately throws herself into the pieces you’ll find all over the country.
She says she has no plans to stop making the sculptures that have given her so much life.
Part of a series of studio visits with contemporary Chicago sculptors, by Jyoti Srivastava.

Why you should own an ETF instead of a mutual fund?
Ask The Investors: How much accounting should I know before picking individual stocks?
Alex Bryan is an analyst covering passive strategies on Morningstar’s manager research team. He is a top authority in ETFs and is on the Investor’s Podcast to educate the audience about what situations might be beneficial for their portfolio.
ETF is an abbreviation for Exchange-Traded-Fund. Imagine a bundle of 100 or even 1000 stocks, bonds, or a combination that you buy in tiny pieces. ETFs are passively managed funds, and simply buy and sell stock based on their capitalization ranking. For example, if an ETF is tracking the S&P 500, the index will automatically own the 500 best companies in the United States. So, when company 501 moves into the 500th spot and replaces the more superior company, the index will automatically conduct the switch for you.
ETFs are traded very close to the net asset value as they are comprised of securities that are traded on the exchange. Most ETFs are very transparent and simply contain listed securities that the investor could buy himself. However an ETF makes the process a lot simpler by omitting multiple trades, commissions, and time spent adjusting the portfolio. There are several advantages for many investors, especially beginners, while considering ETFs. The first is that you spread your risk over multiple securities. While it erodes the option to achieve vast superior market returns, it happily limits portfolio variance – which most people like. For the novice investor, ETFs are a cheap and easy way to expose themselves to the stock market risk and returns and research isn’t intense or required like individual stock picks.
As an investor you have multiple options to deviate from an ETF that tracks a market index like the S&P 500. For example, you might want to invest in small cap stocks, stocks in the IT sector, or something else if you think that the specific ETF will yield a better return – the options are endless. Alex shares two of his favorite picks with the audience. The first is “Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF” (Ticker: SCHD). It has an expense ratio of only 0.07%, which means that if you invest $10,000 you only pay $7 in annual fees, making it one of the cheapest ETFs on the market. The ETF is comprised of companies that have superior ratios on Cash Flow/Debt, Return on Equity, Dividend Yield and Dividend Growth. It gives both a quality and value tilt that may perform better in a market downturn and better than the market overall. Be advised, this ETF does not have a long history to demonstrate its past performance.
Another of Alex’s favorites is Schwab Fundamental International Large Company Index ETF (Ticker: FNDF). With an expense ratio of 0.32%, it is a bit more expensive than the previous; however, it still remains as one of the cheapest international index funds. The fund is characterized by being cheap on superior numbers that are retained by the operating cash flow, adjusted sales, and dividends plus buybacks compared to the price. Essentially it’s a value strategy aimed to beat the market when the numbers rebalance.
Why own an ETF instead of a mutual fund?
Another popular investment form is the mutual funds. Similar to an ETF, the investor has the advantage of a highly diversified portfolio. Contrary to ETFs that are passively managed, mutual funds are actively managed, which means that the portfolio manager holds stocks for a shorter period of time while buying and selling securities, thus “optimizing” returns for the investor. Perhaps this argument is one of the reasons for the popularity of mutual funds. Just like you hire someone to clean your house or fix your garage, wouldn’t it be great to have someone to constantly monitor and trade in the stock market for you? Well, surprisingly it’s not. Mutual funds perform worse than ETFs.
Remember the expense ratios of 0.07% and 0.32% for owning one of Alex’s favorite ETF? It isn’t uncommon to charge between 2-3% in total annual fees for mutual funds. So is the money well spent? In Tony Robbins Book: 7 Steps to financial freedom, Robbins’ says that 96% of mutual funds underperform the market. Perhaps what is even worse is that 49% of fund managers do not even have $1 in their own fund. That doesn’t add up.
The very structure of an ETF is better than the typical mutual fund for the investor. When an investor purchases an ETF, the trade is performed on an exchange with another investor. This can be done without incurring tax losses because the portfolio manager doesn’t need to sell underlying securities to raise cash. Contrarily, if you as an investor want to sell your shares in the mutual fund, the fund might need to sell securities to raise cash. The sale is a taxable action that is offset in the total performance of the mutual fund, hence a lower return to the investor. Another problem with the structure of mutual funds is that they are vulnerable when the market drops as investors take out their money and are forced to sell securities, and this pushes the prices further down. Just when the fund manager needs the capital to buy undervalued stock picks, the investors in the fund strip the money away from the manager. This timing issues handicaps the fund managers.
Alex Bryan provides even more reasons why the structure of mutual funds makes it hard to compete with a passively managed ETF. The first is that the active management is a zero sum game before fees. For someone to win, another person must lose. Think of the concept of zero sum game like this: the market yields 10%. For a mutual fund to achieve 11% returns, another fund must only yield 9%. Before receiving the fees in aggregate, they get market returns which you could have gotten by simply buying a low cost ETF (10% return). After fees, say 2%, the mutual funds would now only yield 9% and 7% respectively or an average return of 8%. Further, a structural cost disadvantage for actively managed mutual funds is that it needs to pay commission for the multiple trades, marketing of the fund, and the management of multiple client accounts. I think you can quickly see how everything is adding up (not to mention the taxes fund managers have to pay).
If you want to get a deeper insight into ETFs and why they might be the way to go for your portfolio, rather than mutual funds, Alex Bryan’s article of, The default portfolio, is a highly recommended read.
Stig also created a course about how to invest in ETFs. You can see a short promo video below, and learn more about the course here.
Ask the Investors: How much accounting should I know before picking stocks?
Just like you need to speak and understand another language if you are in a foreign country, you need to understand accounting when picking stocks; otherwise you are incurring a lot of risk. Say that a business records a sale. Do you know what happens to the three most important financial statements: the income statement, the balance sheet, and the cash flow statement? Most stock investors don’t. The issue is this: while reading financial statements is one thing, understanding how they interact with each other is even more complex. If you don’t understand how the three financial statements interact with each other, we would argue that you should mitigate this risk by avoiding individual stock picks and focus on index funds. Perhaps the best resource to understand how financial statements interact with each other is the book: Financial Statements: A Step-by-Step Guide to Understanding and Creating Financial Reports. Additionally, Preston and Stig wrote the Warren Buffett Accounting Book to teach investors how financial statements work together. If you understand accounting, you also know how key ratios are calculated, and perhaps more importantly how they can also be manipulated. Happy reading!

XIOM TAU е лепкав немски Tензор /ESN/ от пето поколение.
XIOM TAU е подобрена версия на VEGA CHINA и има характеристики много подобни на вече широко познатия ни лепкав тензор на Palio - THORS. XIOM TAU се усеща една идея по-твърда от VEGA CHINA и е малко по лепкава.
Коментар: Към настоящия момент /2014г/ XIOM TAU по наши тестове е най-добрата лепкава гума на пазара, като конкурира успешно "националните" версии на DHS Hurricane.
"Having said that, I'm not saying there is nothing negative about this rubber. Xiom Tau is NOT a high control rubber and I also find it to be quite sensitive to incoming spin. Choppers and allrounders please stay away from Tau. This is a rubber that is meant for pure forehand offensiveness. Tau is fast, really fast. The first 48 hours it was Tenergy 64 fast. After that point it plateaus at something a little faster than Tenergy 05.
The topsheet is a little tackier than Vega China. I would say about as tacky as H3 Neo's topsheet. It's capable of lifting the ball for at least 1 second where Vega China could lift it about half a second.
Serves are excellent. It's really very good at being able to provide dead ball serves that look like backspin. Of course serves can be really spinny also. What I'm trying to say is that serving offers a ton of variability with slight alterations. Really great.
Smashes are great for a Chinese rubber but of course Eurojap rubbers are better at it.
Drives to me are interesting. I find flat driving a little difficult to keep consistent. However, simply add a little spin to your driving and the effect is superb.
Looping backspin is fantastic. Even against decent backspin, with a fast enough arm motion I'm able to loop it consistently and can keep it low with tons of spin that shoots forwards.
Counter-looping is unparalleled. Here is it's specialty (and the reason most people are looking for Chinese style tensors). Xiom Tau is THE best counterlooping Chinese style rubber ever produced as of the time of this writing. It is equal to a speedglued H3 Neo provincial/national and you don't have to reglue it all the time. I can't even imagine how amazing it would play speed glued for those who do that. While counterlooping, despite the extremely hard sponge (probably at least 42 degrees DHS scale), when engaged there is this almost "sinking" feeling to it that feels oh so good.
Side-spin looping with Tau is perfect. When I used Palio Thor's I really enjoyed it's tremendous side-spin and I was a little disappointed when Vega China seemed to have lost that. Xiom Tau has brought it back. The trajectory it provides is wicked and very difficult for your opponent to predict.
Blocking was pretty good. Again, it is sensitive to spin but that sinking feeling with the sponge comes into play during blocks which seems to help provide a little more quality to them. Active blocking works best, so make sure to have a more forward motion when blocking with Tau.
In a nutshell, Xiom Tau I is H3 Neo Provincial/National speedglued with just as much spin and at least as much speed. I would even recommend it above H3 because the sheets are more consistent and you don't have to constantly speed glue.
Xiom Tau is an excellent sequel to tacky tensors. I'll compare it to the way software is released."

According to Variety, one of the movies about the 1973 tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs is recasting one of its leads. No, not the serious one that HBO is doing with Elizabeth Banks and Paul Giamatti, and not the overtly comedic one that Will Ferrell is set to star in. It’s Battle Of The Sexes, the middle one that’s supposed to be a comedy with “dramatic and political overtones”—as we said in an earlier report. Battle Of The Sexes comes from Little Miss Sunshine’s Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, and it was set to star Emma Stone and Steve Carell as the eponymous sexes. Now, Stone has backed out due to “a scheduling conflict,” and the studio is reportedly in talks with Brie Larson to replace her.
Larson recently appeared in Room, a film that is not only making some waves in the film festival circuit but also has a name that’s very similar to a certain other movie, which could end up causing a reverse-Asylum by tricking people who want to see a bad movie into seeing a good movie. She’s also set to be in Kong: Skull Island and possibly the eventual Godzilla fight movie that it’s going to set up.

Brief: With the WordPress upgrade to version 3.2, the text editor seems to remove the line break by itself. While typing text into the text editor, the formatting is in place and all line breaks are shown in the preview also. However, all the paragraph and line break tags seem to disappear when the text is saved and you go and view the page.
Assets: WordPress simply strips out the relevant tags whenever you add extra spacing in the text editor. The result is that the properly formatted text page you created looks totally different when you save it since all extra spacing or blank lines are removed.

I am the last of my species, and I know how that weighs on the heart so don’t lie to me! Stop talking, brain thinking. Hush. Sorry, checking all the water in this area; there’s an escaped fish.
All I’ve got to do is pass as an ordinary human being. Simple. What could possibly go wrong? You’ve swallowed a planet! You know when grown-ups tell you ‘everything’s going to be fine’ and you think they’re probably lying to make you feel better? Father Christmas. Santa Claus. Or as I’ve always known him: Jeff.

Myofascial Release is a highly specialized stretching technique used by Dr. Lindsey to treat patients with a variety of soft tissue problems.
Myofascial Release stretches the fascia, a thin tissue that covers all the organs of the body. This tissue covers every muscle and every fiber within each muscle. When muscle fibers are injured, the fibers and the fascia which surrounds it become short and tight. This uneven stress can be transmitted through the fascia to other parts of the body, causing pain and a variety of other symptoms in areas you often wouldn’t expect. Myofascial Release treats these symptoms by releasing the uneven tightness in injured fascia.
Myofascial Release is not massage. Myofascial Release is used to equalize muscle tension throughout the body. Unequal muscle tension can compress nerves and muscles causing pain. Progress is measured by a decrease in the patient’s pain and by an improvement in overall posture. The stretch is guided by feedback the therapist feels from the patient’s body. This feedback tells the therapist how much force to use, the direction of the stretch and how long to stretch.
Do find out if Myofascial Release could benefit you, call Dr. Lindsey at 908.806.3040!

What happens when you disperse nano sized (1-100 nanometers) particles of conductive copper, silver, and gold in deep-sea shark oil? Well, you get a unique product that aims to fill in any uneven gaps with electrical contact points. Think spades, RCA, XLR pins, and Power plugs.
Nanotech Systems Japan has been developing products to improve audio, video, and even automotive experiences for some years now. Beyond the contact points, This company has also designed speaker and power cables with nano particles in a colloidal liquid, More on that in a minute, but first let’s see how this nanotech can be applied.
Well, it can be used for just about any electrical contact point. I started off using the silver nano liquid on my speaker cable spades. I was told this would effectively fill in any gaps between the spade and speaker terminal. I also found a use for the copper nano liquid when building power cables and power distribution centers. These nanoparticles (used sparingly) of precious metal ensure that full power transfer is occurring at contact terminals.
I encourage experimentation of application to various contact points in your system. It should be noted that these are enhancers, not cleaners. So beginning with a clean contact is a good start. One experiment I did was with a very worn and noisy guitar cable plug. The solder points were all intact, but for some reason the plug made a noisy connection. I applied the gold contact liquid to the plug and the intermittent noise ceased. Excellent, now to try it in my audio/video system.
As for sonic improvements, these products may indeed help in that area. I recommend that you apply and test for yourself.
After speaking with Nanotech Systems Japan, I was able to test out fully terminated power cable (Golden Strada) that had been treated with nano particles. Gold and silver nano particles are dispersed in a colloidal liquid, then applied to the full length of conductors in this power cable. In addition, an electromagnetic wave absorption material is also applied to this power cable for reduced interference. This nano liquid, when applied to the full length of conductors may prevent signal jumping -which I suspect is one cause of distortion. See my article on solid core copper vs stranded copper cables.
For my application (audiophile systems), I used this cable to provide power to my power distribution bar (Oyaide MT-UB). I also tested it directly connected to my power amplifier.
With the Golden Strada providing power to my entire distribution bar (which I built with nano copper enhancers) I found a sense of ease and flow to the music which seemed to emerge from a blacker (quieter) background. Initial impressions; Taught extended bass with imaging control. When connected directly to my power amp the Golden Strada truly excelled at bass control/extension and quiet backgrounds.
I especially liked the Golden Strada power cable for picture quality in film. When used for powering a Blu-ray player in my system directly, the contrast and depth of picture was easily improved.
While using other power cables to provide power to my Oyaide MT UB, I found the unique abilities of the Power Strada to shine through when directly connected to my system components. Experimentation is encouraged, and using more than one in an audiophile system will provide varied results – build your own or buy terminated.
Nanotech Systems Japan has created a whole line of DIY products, enhancers, and completed products to improve audio/visual systems. These products are also not excessively overpriced. If you are ever in the Akihabara neighborhood of Tokyo, I recommend finding some shops that carry these unique science-based audiophile products.

At Wylander, we constantly get calls from owners in desperate need of talent for their market. Sometimes it’s a more proactive approach – the owner has had steady growth, and they see the trend is expected to continue, but other times, it’s a call for help.
Finding new talent seems easy, but in my experience it’s more difficult than expected. It’s not just about finding a qualified candidate, but also getting them to agree to pay, bonus plans, benefits, commute, etc.
In order to find top talent in a reasonable amount of time, you need to use all of the job boards that are available to you. Some of the more popular ones include CareerBuilder, Monster, and Indeed. Make your job post appealing – this is your first chance to entice someone into calling you! Be realistic, but keep your posting optimistic.
Use keywords that are relevant to your exact needs. This allows Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to take over – your candidates will use keywords when searching for an open job in their market, and if you’ve used the right ones, your job will show up first in their search results.
As you move along in your hiring process, being flexible with interview times is crucial. Over 60% of the candidates we hire are passive – this means they already have jobs and we actively sought them out (they weren’t looking). For them, taking a day off for an interview is not nearly as easy as an unemployed candidate showing up at any time you specify. At the interview, be prepared with questions and write down their responses. Notes are important in the second interview stage, or even the upcoming months of their employment.
Perform personality assessments; this will give you an insight into their “areas of opportunity”. But a word of caution: Knowing a person’s personality will not tell you everything about them. Be sure to keep an open mind and have a good understanding of the value and also the limitations of an assessment before forming an opinion about a candidate.
When you’ve hired your new employee, it’s certainly an exciting time! But unfortunately, we often forget all of the “tools” our new employee will need to be successful on day one. Plan ahead and prepare a list of items that your new employee will need to do their job; don’t wait until the first day of work to order their computer. Run your list by someone who is in a similar position now to check if anything is missing.
Have your IT person create their login for software programs or websites they will use, create a calendar of training, and note the source for that training. Many software companies have excellent online training that all new employees should be required to do.
It also helps to have an existing employee as a resource for your new hire. New employees never want to bother the “boss” and will often go without instead of asking how to do something. Make your new hire feel welcome and included right away – they only get one “first day of work”. It sounds simple enough, but many owners have not been a new employee for years, and some owners have never worked for anyone but themselves.
I once had an estimator I hired poke his head inside my door and ask, “I’m sorry to bother you but can you show me where the bathroom is, please?” It occurred to me that during the frenzy of daily work and the excitement of checking off the “Hire Estimator” box on my to do list, I never took him around and gave him a proper tour, nor introductions to the staff. Put yourself in their shoes for the first week or two; it can be an enlightening experience.
Now that you have found your next great employee, let’s not screw it up. The generation of 12 hours days as a badge of honer are gone. Face it, Millennials are smarter than most of us, it’s your job to get them to buy into what you are offering. If you get them to believe in what your company is doing and what it stands for, the dedication, and hard work from Millennials will come. There are many examples of hyper successful companies that are run by Millennials.
In closing, I would encourage a restoration business owner to look at attracting, training, and retaining new and current employees in a different way. Interview existing employees to see what their thoughts are on the company, workplace and environment and make note of what they love and dislike. Motivating people is not going to work. They are either motivated or they’re not. Stay ahead of the curve and the competition by listening better, planning better and hiring better.
If you find yourself in the constant struggle of finding the right candidates for your organization then let’s talk. At Wylander we don’t know the best employee for you until we get to know you. Stop the guesswork in hiring, and let someone else help you with the puzzle, we do it everyday.

Looking for some volunteering inspiration? Like to give back to your community? Or perhaps you want to another community to flourish like yours? In celebration of International Volunteer Day 2018, we’ve come up with some handy volunteering inspiration to help you give something back.
First of all, think about the causes you feel strongly about or what changes you really wish to make in the world. You can register with a charity that supports your cause to help you. Sign up to their newsletter for regular inspiration!
Some companies or organisations recruit for volunteer positions that allow people to gain work experience in a field they are trying to get in to. For example, you may be able to volunteer at a local school to gain teaching experience. Some companies allow volunteers to work remotely also!
Is there something about your local community you wish you could change? Maybe there’s too much litter on your streets or you wish there were more community events? If that’s the case, do something about it! Be the inspiration for change!
We get it – sometimes you’re busy working in a full-time job and although you wish you could, you don’t have the time to volunteer on a regular basis. Perhaps consider raising money or collecting donations for a charity that does volunteering for your cause.
If there’s a disadvantaged community somewhere in the world where you want to make a change, there are many volunteer programmes out there that would welcome the help! In addition, there are many communities that require assistance with crisis management, peacekeeping, interpretation, medical assistance and more. Whilst it’s your chance to see more of the world, foreign volunteers perform some very important and life-changing work.
If you’re the next Dr. Dolittle, volunteering with animals might be your thing. There are many different ways you can volunteer and work with animals. Some charities work with re-homing or caring for cats, dogs and other domesticated animals. Others focus on rescuing wild animals such as hedgehogs and birds. For something more casual, you could offer to walk dogs for those in the community that struggle to do this regularly. And if you’re ready for your next big commitment, why not adopt your own pet? Think of the therapeutic benefits too!
Okay, so we may be slightly biased here! Taking part in one of our TEFL Internships is a brilliant way to help transform lives, inspire a generation and gain work experience, all whilst being fully trained and supported by our TEFL experts. Whether it’s in Thailand, China or Cambodia, you’re guaranteed to leave a lasting mark on the community where you work. Some placements last 7 weeks, others last 5 months, so it’s entirely up to you. It depends on how long you want to commit for. Whatever you choose, it’s your chance to enlighten others and enlighten yourself!

Breathe…we were never meant to hold it in. It’s ok to release the overwhelming feeling and tension and just pause in break. When anxious breathe and let God’s presence relax our mind and soul.
Breathe when your faith seems at its weakest and let God replenish you with all you need. Sometimes we forget or just don’t think to just air it out.The familiar often gets in the way, but God’s power can be seen in the least expected form.
The three whispers gently touching us with a breeze.
Oh body and mind just relax.
Oh spirit and emotions just release.
Let the Creator and King of the World step in and take its perfect place.
What I’m destined to become is what I’m evolving into each day, week, month and year. It’s not a microwave serving, it’s a journey to completely and joyfully embrace. Lots of bumps and barriers along the pavement to wholeness. Transforming to discover and soar to God’s amazing capture of what it’s supposed to be.
Glimpses which light up a beam inwardly, but sometimes uncertainty shows up outwardly. I don’t have everything perfectly in the exact and wonderful place it should be. Never was I suppose to, because I’m evolving, learning and growing. There’s something beautiful in giving ourselves a chance to blossom in the phases that’s uniquely ours.
Why did I listen to the lies that something was drastically a ruin of me? I often make a lot of mistakes, but I’ll get on no matter how much it takes. I have a whole long list of things that I have been embarrassed, discontent, shamed and felt worthless about, but God sees all that He made and knows it’s not a mistake with no doubt.
When I’m just evolving to learn that my flaws,imperfections, challenges and struggles are all what’s helping me. Helping to fly, try and apply. In time expanding into more of me that I don’t yet see, but God is the Master of developing me and loosing what needs to be set free.
What does hanging at the edge of hope look like, feel like and taste like? When everything seems like a horrific nightmare and you just want to wake up. What keeps you hanging on to hope? You’re tossed and toppled over, but there’s something that travels you each day. Taking deep breaths of hope and gathering strength to gather through. Inhaling and exhaling all at once in a sudden rush for life.
Gathering courage, endurance, patience with all sincerity. When you’re locked up on the inside and shut away on the outside, you continue and commune with hope that sparkles a command to evoke. Evoke the burning desire that will spread like fire.
Catching every heart of captivity that longs to be free and begging with their plea. Reaching for the battered and bruised only to be used to keep the line of hanging at the edge of hope in an ever spiral of infinity knowing that you are saved and whole with the true trinity.
Loneliness… that fog of isolation and insecurity that pours into the heart, mind and soul. You try to change it and escape it, but every time you’re back at that place of emotional distress. Everyone has felt lonely at some point. Some experience it at a greater intensity than others and some even to the extreme. Whichever way a person does, it affects our lives, relationships and even lifestyles. Loneliness can be felt in solitude and it can be felt when around others. I believe the worst feeling and most painful ache is when we are around other people and it won’t go away.
When the laughing and talking surrounds you, but somehow you just have trouble getting in the mix and you always seem to be an outsider. You don’t fit in anywhere or in most cases you appear to be an outcast or loner. To some they may express for you to get over it or brush it off as if they don’t care or it don’t matter to them. I speak and write out for the speakless and writeless.
Loneliness can be very painful. It’s not a sin to feel lonely, but sin can be committed during the experience – if a person yields or gives in to it. Some experience it for a period of time in their lives and others it seems like a never-ending cycle. Below are a few words and lessons to consider.
1) Only God can really meet that need of satisfaction, intimacy, fulfillment and joy. No matter what, anything outside of God will never bring completeness and will have its imperfections and disappointments.
2) Empty and deep voids help display that we have a need that only the Savior can fill. It is through this void the Lord can show his power, strength and provision.
3) Reach out to other people who show signs of loneliness. You can’t remove their pain, but sometimes the person having a listening ear or just someone to keep them pleasant company helps. If we see something and we can help, why not?
4) Distract and throw out negative thoughts. This is something we all have to work on. Satan attacks every human mind. He can use something that may be true to trap and tangle us up.
5) Feeling and experiencing things are apart of being human and living on earth. We can’t escape discomfort, pain and other unpleasant happenings, but we can learn lessons through them. Growth comes through learning and applying.
We all face storms of different kinds. The visible – natural storm of lightning and hard rain and sounds of thundering and heavy winds, can be reflection or simile of the violent and painful force many face in their emotions, finances, relationships, minds and more. God always has a message in every storm that He wants us to hear, listen and obey.
Sometimes it takes the ragging seas and roaring winds to get our attention. Pride, worldly and fleshly desires often get in the way. No one is exempt from doing nothing and everyone needs chastening and correction from the loving Father. While shedding silent or physical tears consider, Lord what are you saying to me/us in this storm? The disturbance doesn’t always come because we are being punished. Everyone faces challenging and tempest times. In the midst of the gale, God will pick you up even after a fall. Below are some highlights that we can consider while going through.
God must remain #1: Earthly and material possessions will not be a lasting refuge and strength when a twister and tornado of chaos shows up.
Develop a growing trust: As our trust grows we know that there are some things that only the Almighty God can do and will do and that nothing can keep us from His power, provision and protection.
Revelation is revealed: Sometimes it’s in the darkest moments and whirlwind explosions that divine revelation is poured out into our spirits and hearts. We hear him in that voice that comes to bring clarity, comfort, conviction and connection.
Are you currently in a storm? What are some things that you do that helps you endure?
