How do I renew my BAIID Installer Certificate?
You renew your BAIID Installer Certificate by mailing another BAIID Installer application to the Administrative Hearings Section to the address listed on the form. The same prerequisites for the original certificate exist for the renewal of the certificate. Apply 30 days before the expiration of the certificate to ensure timely processing.
Will my BAIID Installer Certificate expire the same day as my mechanic certificate?
It is possible but unlikely unless your BAIID Installer Certificate and your Mechanic Certificate were issued on the same day. Each certificate expires annually on the anniversary of issuance.
Will my BAIID Installer Certificate have the same number as my mechanic certificate?
Yes. The Installer Certificate will be maintained in the mechanic record and the same number will be used.
How long is the BAIID Installer Certificate good for?
One year from the date of issuance.
Do I have to pay a fee for an original, renewal, or duplicate BAIID Installer Certificate?
There is no additional fee for a BAIID Installer Certificate.
Can anyone apply for a BAIID Installer Certificate?
No. There are prerequisites that must be met. The applicant must have a mechanic certificate with a BAIID specialty, be at least 18 years of age, be properly trained by the BAIID manufacturer, have not been convicted of an alcohol-related driving offense or any offense classified as a felony for the previous 5 years, and possess a valid driver license.
Is the BAIID category necessary for Master Mechanic status?
No. The BAIID category is not necessary to obtain Master Mechanic status.
What if I lose my BAIID Installer Certificate?
Please contact the Business Licensing Section at Licensing@Michigan.gov or 888-767-6424, and request a duplicate certificate.
Will registering for a test require me to select a specific test location?
No. You may test at any Secretary of State office in the state.
I have been told that I am exempt from having to become a certified or licensed mechanic in Michigan if I am currently certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) in one or more categories. Is this true?
No. ASE certification alone does NOT qualify you as a state certified mechanic in Michigan. However, you may be eligible to apply for state certification and transfer certain ASE categories to the application in lieu of taking state certification tests. Refer to the ASE Information webpage or contact the Business Licensing Section at 888-SOS-MICH (767-6424) for further information.
Does a technician who only does "bench work," such as rebuilding automotive parts or components, have to be certified?
Yes. When bench work (the rebuilding, reconditioning, machining, or assembling of parts or components from a motor vehicle) is performed by a technician at a registered repair facility, the technician must be certified as a mechanic in the proper repair category. This work involves a diagnostic process that is directly related to the shop's regulated activities. The only time a bench mechanic need not be certified is when the employer is not required to be a registered motor vehicle repair facility. For example, in a parts store that does not operate a motor vehicle repair facility (does not diagnose vehicles and does not remove or install parts), the technician turning brake rotors or rebuilding engines need not be certified.
Who must be a certified mechanic?
You must be certified as a mechanic in Michigan if you repair motor vehicles for compensation, including the reconditioning, replacement, diagnosis, adjustment or alteration of the operating condition of the vehicle, or any component or sub-assembly in any category of major repair. If you perform major repairs and are not certified, you must get a mechanic trainee permit for those repair categories in which you work.
How do I become a certified mechanic?
You must first pass a test for each repair category in which you want certification. Until you have passed the appropriate tests, you cannot apply for certification. A certification application will be included with the results letter if you successfully pass your test. Complete the application and return it with the $25 application fee to the Michigan Department of State, Business Licensing Section, Lansing, Michigan 48918.
Where can I obtain more information on becoming a certified mechanic in Michigan?
Additional information is available under "Information for Mechanics" on the Department of State website.
I took the state mechanic test but lost, or did not receive, my test results. How do I find out if I passed the test?
1-888-SOS-MICH (1-888-767-6424). Secretary of State Branch offices do not have specific information concerning your test results.
What is the minimum score needed to pass a test?
Depending on the test taken, 65 percent or higher.
In what format are the test questions delivered and how many test questions are there?
The mechanic tests contain multiple-choice questions and are intended to measure the minimum competencies necessary to work in a particular area of study. Your ability to pass a test depends on the amount of knowledge you have covering a specific area, and how you interpret the test items. No reference materials or electronic devices may be used during testing.
Most tests have 55 questions. A few of the tests range between 65 and 100 questions.
You will be notified of your pass/fail status on the kiosk screen when you complete the test. A detailed test result letter will be mailed within seven days of completing your test.
Will I need to bring anything with me to the testing location once I have registered?
Yes. You will need to bring a printed copy of your mechanic payment receipt containing your test ID number and a driver's license or state identification card containing your photograph to the mechanic testing location. No other form of ID will be accepted.
Where can I take the mechanic tests?
Motor vehicle mechanic tests are available at Secretary of State offices throughout the state. To obtain branch office location information (address or business hours), visit the Michigan Department of State Branch Office Locator. You will be required to pre-register prior to taking a test. There is a $6 fee for each test. Tests are offered on a first-come, first-serve basis. Tests are not available within one hour of closing.
What is a mechanic trainee permit?
The mechanic trainee permit makes it possible for the non-certified mechanic to work at a repair facility. A mechanic trainee employed by a repair facility must work under the direct supervision of a certified specialty or master mechanic.
Are the state tests offered in written or electronic format?
State mechanic tests are offered electronically at a kiosk with a touch screen. PRE-REGISTRATION FOR ALL MECHANICS TESTS IS REQUIRED!
What unique features have been included in the new testing format?
Immediate same day pass/fail results.
Testing now available at all Secretary of State offices with registration.
Secure 24/7 online registration in the privacy of your own home for faster service.
Update your home address (for mechanic records only).
Once I have registered for a test, is there a time limit for taking the test?
Yes. You have 60 days from the receipt date to complete your test. After 60 days, the test will expire and refunds will not be provided. Re-registration will be required at an additional fee of $6 per test.
What information is needed to register for mechanic tests?
To register you will first need to create your account which includes: your name, address, birth date and Social Security number. You will also be required to create a user ID and password.
Will I need to pre-register to take a mechanic test?
Yes. You must pre-register before taking any mechanics tests in Michigan. There are no exceptions; whether you are a mechanic or a trainee, are currently licensed, have previously tested or have an expired certificate. Register for your test by creating an account if you are new, or accessing your existing account online through the Mechanic Test Registration System. The online system is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
How do I apply for a mechanic trainee permit?
You must complete an Application for Motor Vehicle Mechanic Trainee Permit. Application are available at the Department of State Web site at: Mechanic Trainee Permit or by contacting the Customer Support Section at 1-888-SOS-MICH (1-888-767-6424). The completed application must be returned with the $20.00 application fee. No fee is required if you are a state-certified mechanic with an unexpired certificate.
What are the repair categories for a mechanic trainee?
The mechanic trainee categories are the same as those for mechanic certification. You may obtain a trainee permit in any number of categories of repair, but cannot remain a mechanic trainee in any single repair category for more than two years. Once expired, trainee permits may not be reissued.
How do I renew my mechanic certification license?
There are two options for renewing your mechanic license: online or by mail.
Please note: You cannot renew online if more than 60 days has passed since your mechanic license expired (the license expiration date is found in Box 4 of your mechanic license renewal application).
What does it cost to become a certified mechanic?
The fee to become a certified mechanic is $25. An amended certificate will be mailed to you at no cost if you pass additional tests after receiving your certification.
Can a person who has a disability or difficulty with the English language take the mechanic tests?
Yes. If you would have difficulty taking a written test because of special needs, you should contact the Business Licensing Section at 888-SOS-MICH (888-767-6424). You may be eligible for audio and interpreter assisted tests.
I took the state mechanic test and did not pass. Can I take the test again and will I have to pay the test fees again?
Yes. You may retake any mechanic tests you did not pass; a person may only take one test per repair category per day. You must pay the $6 test registration fee for each test you retake. However, you are encouraged to study more or enroll in a training program before retaking a test.
I have worked as a motor vehicle mechanic for many years. Do I have to take the mechanic tests?
Yes, you must pass a test for each repair category in which you want to be certified. The law does not provide a "grandfather clause." The only way to qualify for state certification is to pass the state test or if you have passed tests administered by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE), you may be eligible to apply for state certification in certain automobile and heavy duty truck categories without further testing. ASE certification alone does NOT qualify you as a state certified mechanic. Please refer to the ASE Information webpage for further details. Contact the Business Licensing Section at 888-SOS-MICH (767-6424) for further information.
What is the difference between a master mechanic and a specialty mechanic?
An individual certified in all of the first eight categories of Automobile and Light Truck Repair is a Master Automobile Mechanic. Similarly, a mechanic certified in all six categories of Heavy-Duty Truck Repair is a Master Heavy-duty Truck Mechanic. Individuals with a certification in Motorcycle are also given a master status. A mechanic certified in seven or fewer of the first eight categories under the automobile and light truck heading, or five or fewer of the six categories under the heavy-duty truck repair heading or in the ‘other' category is considered a Specialty Mechanic.
What are the motor vehicle repair categories which require state certification?
Does the state provide study materials or textbooks for my use?
Michigan does not provide or recommend any single textbook or published materials for your review when preparing for the mechanics tests. However, it is recommended that individuals who prefer home study acquire textbooks similar to those found in technical skill centers, and two- or four- year colleges. Typically, these types of textbooks are not found at your local library but are available through educational book stores and various online automotive publishers.
It is suggested that you prepare by reviewing the Mechanic Study Guides. These study guides provide a list of the categories and subcategories that will be on each test. Each category is given a percentage indicating how many of the test questions will be drawn from that category. This allows you to plan your study time and concentrate on those areas that are given the most emphasis on the test.
If you are an automotive and light truck mechanic certified in Engine Tune-up/Performance, Electrical Systems or Brakes and Braking Systems, you must comply with one of the following requirements for continuing certification. Certificates in the three categories noted are good for five years and must be renewed before their expiration date. All other repair categories are valid for life once issued.
Successfully complete a state-approved training program.
For example, John Brown's mechanic certificate expires each year on July 16. John last recertified his Engine Tune-up/Performance certificate on July 16, 2018, making his next recertification date July 16, 2023. He last recertified in Electrical Systems July 16, 2014, so he'll have to recertify again in July 16, 2019. He'll have until July 16, 2020 to recertify in Brakes & Braking Systems after meeting the requirements on July 16, 2025.

Dr Jennifer Bailey, a senior associate at Marks & Clerk’s Birmingham office, says an Intellectual Property strategy is crucial, especially in such a fast-growing, competitive and lucrative global sector as healthcare.
Greater Birmingham’s life sciences economy has an international reputation for the quality of its research, and partnerships between its academic institutions and the NHS have already spawned an array of healthcare innovations; from drugs and treatments to medical devices and diagnostics.
However, the R&D teams, entrepreneurs and academics whose talent delivers these breakthroughs must always ensure their bright ideas are legally protected against predatory rivals.
Marks & Clerk is one of the UK’s largest firms of patent and trade mark attorneys, and was established in Birmingham in the late 19th century. Co-founder George Marks designed the Bridgnorth Cliff Railway, and astutely realised that his designs and inventions, like his innovative funicular design, would be stolen by others – If they weren’t protected.
“Put simply, it’s vital for people to realise what areas of their research can be protected, what can’t, how a patent can help defend a company’s market share, and how the certainty which a patent offers can be a powerful tool to attract external investors,” says Bailey.
She completed her PhD in molecular microbiology at the University of Birmingham, before qualifying as a Chartered Patent Attorney in the UK in 2012, and as a European Patent Attorney a year later. Bailey was promoted to her current position last August, and it’s easy to see why her refreshing ability to understand the intricacies of complex business sectors and sophisticated IP issues, and to explain both in everyday language, appeals to her clients, which include the University of Birmingham, SMEs, global corporations and law firms around the world.
“The University of Birmingham is a long-standing client. One of the reasons our relationship with them has continued is that we understand the competing interests that all universities face; the need to protect commercial and intellectual interests versus the need of academics to publish.” says Bailey. “We work very closely with Alta Innovations, which is the University of Birmingham’s commercialisation arm, and also with academics to understand their inventions and help the university to maximise the commercial value of its research.
“With all clients though, we’re trying to discover if an invention or bright idea might be ‘novel’ and ‘inventive’, to judge what protection it could be given, and to help our clients navigate the complex patent application process.
“Sometimes, we might have to file a patent application with less information than is ideal, for example prior to a product launch or conference, since it is critical that inventors do not disclose their inventions to the public before their application is filed.
“Equally, there are other occasions when we can work with companies and inventors to help them plan experiments which will support their patent application, or to see if there are any other aspects of their research that could potentially be patented.
To the uninitiated, patents are something which purely protect products, but that isn’t so, as Bailey explains. “A patent might be for new uses of an existing product, a new method of production, or even a new method of diagnosis. There are also issues around geography, as patents are territorial, and the laws in each jurisdiction differ, particularly for medical inventions relating to therapeutics, diagnostics and DNA.

At the time of John Wick 2's global release, the Australian arm of film distribution company Entertainment One - which held the rights to release John Wick 2 internationally and was handling promotion for the film - told Gizmodo that there was "no update yet" on a local screening date.
The film also hadn't been classified by Australia's Classification Board, nor had it been submitted for review. The Board didn't respond to a request for comment from Gizmodo.
On March 24 2017, StudioCanal signed on to distribute John Wick 2 locally. While chatting with Gizmodo recently about the release of John Wick 3 (which is at the same time as the rest of the world!!), I asked about the delayed local release of the previous film.
"Usually our theatrical releases have no delay at all, as of course the priority is to go day and date with international territories," a StudioCanal spokesperson told Gizmodo.
"The last film was the exception and that was beyond our control. Studiocanal signed on to distribute Lionsgate films well after JW2's US release, and once acquired we released it in Australia as soon as we could."
So did Entertainment One drop the ball? Was it held up by the classification board? Is this the fault of Steve? We will keep searching for answers, my friends. And we will get them.
Here's some casting news for the best action film series starring Keanu Reeves alongside very Good Dogs ever. Halle Berry. Angelica Houston. Asia Kate Dillon. Uncontrollable excitement.

CALIFORNIA: Volunteers are collecting signatures in front of the Napa County Library and other public venues this week in the hope of overturning the City Council’s December decision to scrap its medical marijuana ordinance.
So far, the grassroots effort reports having collected about 3,000 signatures of registered city voters since late December, with 3,850 signatures — 10 percent of the city’s registered voters — needed by the Jan. 16 deadline.
If the group meets its goal and the signatures are verified, the City Council may either reverse its decision on medical marijuana or pass a resolution calling for an election no later than November.
Kyle Iverson, who coordinates the petition drive, said the group wants to turn in 5,000 signatures by 5 p.m. Tuesday — or 1,150 more than necessary. The final signature gathering push is planned for this weekend, said Iverson, 32.
On Dec. 3, the City Council repealed its medical marijuana ordinance that would have allowed the opening of a medical marijuana dispensary. The vote was 3-2, with councilmembers Peter Mott and Scott Sedgley voting in the minority.

Gary van Gils – …And the Truth Shall Set You Free.
Deaf against Deaf that causes diversion in our combustible present, we all need to reframe the conversation about pain we must continue to have, chronicling the powerful forces that have long oppressed progress in Deaf community.
The problem is that the majority of Deaf people do not know what 8th Amendment in the United States Constitution stands for. At the same time, the 8th Amendment was, in important ways, lacks greatly in Deaf community to hold the truth to be self-evident that exposed Deaf to Deaf to be extralegal violence and widespread violence.
“I am talking to you. DEAF to DEAF. You and I have the same identity: DEAF.
HATE—we have been led to believe that it does not exist in our life. Hate produces ignorance, discrimination, and prejudice. We know some Deaf who rejects being DEAF, deny American Sign Language and their signed languages as languages and culture….
Is it time to support DEAF community and stop hate speech? We all know what Audism means. Is it also time to advance our knowledge that hate speech actually exists in our life?
It was 1880. The infamous Milan Conference—the world’s original sin in the midst of global language war to make Deaf community suffer in its horrors. Alexander Graham Bell, the original sinner is the story of America to begin hate. It is foundational.
AGBell dominated lives of Deaf people in America from his hate speech in 1883 and 1884 well into the 20th century. From hatred to coffin, there was no nook of a Deaf person’s life that it did not touch.
Today, Deaf people suffered the most: Employment, higher education, and the rights to the pursuit of happiness for ALMOST 10 decades—10 decades! Both of your hands in FIVE. The same states had constantly failed to provide good jobs and treat Deaf people “equal”—where is the Achilles heel that National Association of the Deaf (NAD) stand up and sign out? It is not enough. NAD is the oldest Civil Rights organization in the United States of America.
For example, how come Gallaudet University did not equalize enough educational opportunities and did not finance, create, and maintain law degrees and doctoral programs in Sociology?
Today, Gallaudet University is still not Deaf-centered, Deaf-controlled, and Deaf-oriented campus. The Deaf President Now (DPN) in 1988 was so much more than everything. The biggest mistake is to allow hearing students at Gallaudet in early 1990’s. That is why it is also much diversion in Deaf community.
DPN was a series of hard-fought, locally and nationally organized campaigns, shining the lights of the media to challenge hearing privileges and employment that hearing people took away from Deaf people who are highly qualified for the jobs.
Also, DPN skillfully used the media to expose the horrors of overt discrimination, Audism, and hatred they experienced from hearing people to the world. That was the soul of America. It saddens me to see that Deaf against Deaf. How can we make it feel like 1988?
I am talking to you. DEAF to DEAF. You and I have the same identity: DEAF.

This week in viral videos, a baby hedgehog sneezes its way into our hearts, Simn Zebo does his best John McClane impression and a man attempts to jump in the world’s grimmest swimming pool.
Ah here, this is more cuteness than one person can handle. With the help of Wildlife Aid, three hedgehog hoglets were rescued just 24 hours after their mother had abandoned them.
Obviously a little cold and frightened, the three little creatures were brought back to full health and now appear to be getting used to their new comfy surroundings.
Being told apart by dabbing nail polish on their spines, the three then break the cute barrier by sneezing. Not much else to say really, just look at them!
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the world of modern American politics. Republican presidential hopeful Senator Lindsey Graham doesn’t really want you to concern yourself with public policy decisions.
Rather, for some reason, he’d have you more concerned with throwing in a dig at other hopeful and toupéd billionaire Donald Trump all while breaking old mobile phones.
It literally offers nothing else, but it’s proving pretty popular online so if you like seeing a middle-aged, powerful white guy getting his teenage angst on, then look no further.
Couldn’t agree more with the title of this video, frankly. I’m not sure where exactly it is but it’s hard to imagine a more grim-looking backyard pool.
As always with fail videos, however, it has the gradual, slow build-up that all people love as he wets his feet (?) prior to his dive attempt and bigging himself up to the guy filming him.
So take note kids, an actual diving board is much better to use than a flimsy plastic chair.
Eating a hot dog at a baseball game is as American as you get, that is, unless you aren’t really watching the game are failing at eating said hot dog.
This was the case for one kid at a baseball game who was caught on camera failing miserably at eating an adult-sized hot dog.
Either way, watching a kid fail at eating a hot dog at a baseball game is arguably more entertaining than actually watching a baseball game.
Watch out for his killer ‘five second rule’ skills.
Yo dawg, we hear you like rescuing drones so we got a drone to rescue your drone so you can have two drones.
This meme reference was brought you with the help of Harrisen Howes who as a drone pilot foolishly let one of his drunk friends fly one of his aircraft, who then ended up crashing it on a neighbour’s roof.
And this begins the most dramatic drone rescue of all time (probably) recruiting a bigger DJI Phantom 3 Professional drone to rescue the original Syma X5C, all to the music of soundtrack legend Hans Zimmer.
Fly drone, you’re free now!
This week in ‘when animals make weird noises we weren’t expecting’, a deer in Japan surprises American tourists with a weird noise we weren’t expecting.
It sort of sounds like a curious fart noise, only for it to be followed up by some satanic scream that probably says something if you played it backwards.
Honestly, the people’s reactions to the deer is probably the best bit of the video, they really find it hilarious and I don’t blame them.
Seagulls. No one likes them and anyone who does must have a psychotic streak that enjoys seeing the scourge of skies rule our lives during the summer months.
Well for one man and golfer, he’s beginning (entirely by accident) a one-man crusade to end their dominance over the world, one golf swing at a time.
And all it took was one really, really bad golf swing off the tee. “Yeah, he killed a bird”, says one man behind the golfer who is truly the most observant type.
We don’t know if the bird is actually dead, but we can be rest assured there’s at least five to take its place.
In an orchestra, the sousaphone can add much needed oomph to the tinnier sound of the violin, but on its own, it becomes an instrument of hilarity.
In this case, a KKK rally in the US was thankfully interrupted by one anti-KKK protestor who brought their sousaphone, giving them some hilarious marching music.
The KKK crowd don’t react, thankfully, but are clearly miffed by the send-off. Oh well.
Kudos Elvery Sports, you’ve done good here. In its bid to sell more jerseys it’s done some competition or whatnot, but to promote it it has hired Irish rugby star Simon Zebo to take on the role of John McClane from Die Hard in Try Hard.
Adding a massive wedge of Irishness, Zebo fights off comedian Patrick McDonnell who plays the Hans Gruber role.
Well, aside from Patrick actually, it’s mostly filled with some rather entertaining acting from non-actors, which is usually worth a good laugh, and it’s worth giving a watch.

You don't need many Queens as they are only for Transfuse. Priorities should be ultimate Evos and then Muta Upgrades. You can clear the map and then put all your extra minerals into static defense.

FDNY Rosenbauer Panther. Model by Mitsuya Hamaguchi. Repaint by Free Paint.
This is a full FDNY pack with 9/11 version and regular version of the hama Rosenbauer panther By free paint. We also made that alabama state troopers pack not ftb or dirk stuck its our property by us.
The archive fdny-1.zip has 34 files and directories contained within it.
When I was alerted to this mod by a friend, I let out a visible squeal of excitement. Sad as that may be, I love fire engines. I spent around time fire engines as a child, and so they have left a bit of an impression on me. So, when I got a chance to add a new Rosenbauer Panther to my copy of FSX, you can imagine that I jumped at the chance!
Designed with an intricate precision, the developer of this – Mitsuya Hamaguchi – has done an absolutely sublime job. It’s a fine pick, and with the Free Paint re-paint job, it looks even better than it did beforehand.
This comes with the full 9/11 version, as well as the normal version of the Rosenbauer Panther fire engine.
I was a big fan of being able to add little things like this into simulation. I found very quickly that the work that had gone into this project was very impressive indeed. The team have got everything from the seat positioning and uniforms of the drivers to the front bumpers and wheels spot on.
While it might not be an essential add-on for any simulation experience, it certainly makes sure that you can get to enjoy a new kind of airport experience. It’s nice to have authentic engines moving around the place, so it’s pretty nice to be able to include such an object into the simulation.
Again, hardly changes the entire simulation, but a cool little addition to have!

Cloud computing is here. It has been for a while but current mass media campaigns in the UK are driving the message home into every household with a television. “The cloud” is an all-encompassing and flexible expression used to describe the ever changing shape and form of the virtual world, the internet.
Internet technology advances at an astonishing rate on a daily basis – web browser providers are permanently launching new versions of their product, software developers are adding freeware programs to the net all the time and the entertainments industry is always improving their services in terms of download capacity and user-friendliness. A further development is that virtual storage space at our disposal has grown at such a phenomenal rate that it is now in a position to provide businesses with a very economical way of storing data.
A member of the organisation has instant access to information as opposed to having to wait for a reply to an email.
Customer records can contain far more than just a name and address – the ability to hold a history of information means your customer data becomes a powerful marketing tool.
Transparency of this shared knowledge and cross-population from marketing and sales departments mean you can build up rich customer database.
As well as helping you manage customer information, a direct result of this is an advanced customer service tool.
So far we have just talked about customer management, but a CRM solution offers you the same level of lead and opportunity management.
As you can see a CRM solution is a large and powerful tool with many features. New users may initially be put off by the sheer amount of learning involved, but getting to grips with specific areas rather than trying to master the entire system at first helps the newcomer learn one step at a time, and the challenge suddenly seems easier.

Your professional headshot can be one of the most important photos you’ll ever have of yourself.
…Looks like I spent a ton more than I did.
Book online or call KBenfield Photography today (303) 854-4236. Professional Headshots That Capture Your Authentic Beauty.
The artistic process is a collaboration when you work with me.
You and I share everything during your professional headshot session. The inspiration… the planning… the creativity… the laughs! I’ve heard clients tell me their previous headshot experiences were entirely different from the way their photoshoot went with me. Whether it’s because the photographer had a pre-conceived notion of how a headshot should look, or didn’t have the time (or take the time) to connect, some of my clients have had un-fun previous experiences with headshot photography. My philosophy on professional headshots is completely different. To get headshot images you’ll love, we have to make the headshot experience something you’ll love! So I start with the notion that, as great as they might be, my ideas are not going to be the only brilliant ideas in the room! You are going to bring your own unique beauty and personality to the session, and we’ll blend your inspirations with my professional experience to co-create a wonderful result. I refuse to let your headshot experience be a drag… for either of us!
Our collaboration doesn’t stop when the session ends.
You’ll look at your images, choose the ones you like best, and then we’ll go back-and-forth polishing the photographs until they’re fantastic. I enjoy doing painstaking, detailed touch-up work to make your professional headshot even more of a representation of your true, authentic beauty. Every shot will look like YOU… but you at your very best! You… on your best hair day. After a really great night’s sleep. You… the one the folks who love, admire, and respect you will recognize as the REAL real you. From your email signature to your company’s promotional materials, people will recognize your true beauty in the professional headshot you and I create together.
I have a great system for professional headshots.
I do a lot of work with people on their professional images, and I’ve learned ways to make the entire headshot experience easy and fun, from scheduling to final photographs. That’s our time to connect, to collaborate, to create, and to make your headshot session the highlight of your day! And no matter how many headshots I’m doing for your firm, I’m still going to keep collaborating with you (and with every other member of your team) until you’re completely thrilled with your professional headshot. I won’t let the experience be something you dread, or remember unhappily… or be demeaning, uncomfortable, or un-fun in any way. Your professional headshot experience should be – and will be – something you remember with a smile! I do whatever it takes to make the experience empowering and enjoyable for every member of your team. Most of the time, clients tell me their company’s headshot experience was almost like a team-building exercise! And that’s the kind of feedback I love.

Fun deadpoint to the lip. Hard top out.
Hard to finish on top, pay attention to where your feet goes. I was a little sloppy on top though.
2nd go - This is fun as well - do it right after Bad Genes. The top holds over the lip on the slab are not as positive as think/want them to be!
Greasy sitting in the sun, drop-knee for style points!
every variation is sweet! the definition of gym holds outdoors.
sweet crimp line, big throw to the jug at the top. Straight up beta, glad I got to figure it out for myself!
Classic example of a crimp problem. A must do.
My jeans weren't as tight as the first ascentionist. Though quite enjoyable nonetheless!

Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw is drawing criticism and perhaps rightfully so for skipping the funeral and viewing of legendary Steelers coach Chuck Noll.
Bradshaw was in town performing his one-man show when the coach passed away.
“He’s the most insincere person I’ve ever known,” former Steelers publicist Joe Gordon told CBS 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh regarding Bradshaw.
Former Steelers linebacker Jack Lambert didn’t go to the funeral, but met with Noll’s wife, Marianne Noll.
The article doesn’t indicate whether they attempted to reach Bradshaw for an explanation.

In today's modern homes, more often than not, you'll find plastic or vinyl-coated wire shelving in place of the traditional wood shelves homes used to have. Major brands such as Rubbermaid and Closet Mate make these shelving units and accessories available for retail purchase. Cleaning your plastic-coated wire shelves is an easy, but necessary, chore, in order to eliminate dust build-up. In pantries, shelves can be removed from wall brackets and simply washed in the sink with soapy water. Closet shelves can be left intact and cleaned with a spray cleaner.
Remove clothing or anything on or directly beneath the plastic-coated shelves. If the items cannot be removed, cover with a layer of paper towels or spread a clean bed sheet over them.
Spray the plastic-coated shelves with an all purpose cleaner, completely covering the shelf. Allow the cleaner to drip between the wire rungs.
Use paper towels or a sponge to scrub the wire shelves, using a sweeping motion with your hand and sponge, in a back and forth pattern, from the wall toward you. If the dust has created a gummy build-up, apply a citrus-based adhesive cleaner such as Goo Gone to the sponge and rub each wrung individually by gripping the wrung in the sponge and wiping back and forth. Force the sponge between the plastic-coated wires and clean between each one.
Use the sponge or paper towels to wipe the brackets attaching the shelf to the wall, wiping any grime or accumulated dust from any indentations or crevices.
Dry the plastic-coated wire shelves with paper towels. Discard all soiled paper towels in the wastepaper basket. Rinse the sponge and allow it to dry. Replace any removed articles or clothing to the shelf or below the plastic-coated wire shelf.

In today's society carrying excess weight is becoming the norm rather than the exception. Lifestyles are increasingly sedentary, our diet is becoming increasingly processed and fatty and our food contains more and more calories, additives and preservatives. Children prefer television over playing with their friends, which is perhaps a direct reflection of their parents, who prefer television over socializing or even making time for their children. This only scratches the surface of the social move towards a sedentary and unhealthy society which is making more and more people fat.
Yoga is a discipline designed to make the body strong and flexible and enhance the overall health of the digestive system as well as the hormonal and circulatory systems. It also assists us in controlling mental stress and achieving peace and clarity of mind. Yoga also has strong spiritual benefits which will see you becoming more content with yourself and more comfortable with who you are, all aspects which will lead to emotional stability. This mental component is often neglected in a physical approach to weight loss, but it is critical and should not be overlooked. So called "Comfort food" is a frequent problem for people who yo-yo diet(rapidly lose and gain weight) and the ability to be happy with your health and who you are reduces the need for this.
Yoga is based on deep and controlled breathing which is a method for enhancing our oxygen intake. This allows oxygen to travel to the fat cells in our body and assist in their processing. One has to ask given the benefits why more people don't practice Yoga?
Many people think of Yoga as a passive or mystical discipline - something for hippies - not them. This is a shame as Yoga improves the physical body as well as our mental health. While it is practiced by a great many people in Eastern Populations only about 2% of the population in the United States has clicked on to the many benefits.
Yoga considers all the aspects that contribute to obesity - not just the physical but also the mental and spiritual reasons behind them. regular Yoga is not only relaxing but it does bring the body back towards it's ideal weight and at the same time enhance strength, flexibility and stamina. Yoga nuts tend to end up slim, agile and efficient in everything they do and what's more it is suitable for people of all ages.
Yoga can also be used to resist the temptation of snacking between meals. techniques learned from yoga can be used to suppress impulses such as that we think of as hunger between meals(if you eat proper meals you cannot be hungry between them - merely bored or restless).

The Paris Motor show is happening this week and it is BIG news in the car industry.
The Paris Motor Show or Mondial de l'Automobile (Doesn't that sound cool?!) is a biennial show and it is one of the most important auto shows on the worldwide calendar as many new production and concept cars are unveiled.
At the last show in 2016 over 1.2 million visitors attended, making it the most visited auto show in the world! The show had 125 000 m2 of exhibition space, 8 pavilions, 260 brands from 18 countries, 65 world premieres, more than 10 000 test drives for electric and hybrid cars and more than 10 000 journalists from 103 countries!
A great deal of buzz has been surrounding the 2018 show - here's just a few of the cars we've read about that are getting us excited.
AUDI will be debuting the new A1, A4 and Q3 at the show. It's always interesting to see how manufacturers update tried and tested models. From subtle tweeks to design and adding new features it's always interesting.
Two BMW launches have caught our eye. Firstly the long awaited Z4 update will be unveiled and we've heard it looks nothing like it's predecesor which ceased production in 2016. Then there's the new BMW X2 M35i. Described as "the brand's latest hot SUV, and the first M-badged car to come with four cylinders, instead of six" this unveiling will be sure to draw a crowd.
Mercedes will be unveilling it's A-class saloon in Paris. The A-Class saloon’s styling has already been revealed on the Chinese-spec long-wheelbase car, but a slightly different look will be applied to the European car.
Hyundai will be debuting it's i30 FastbackN and Peugeot will be launching plugin hybrid versions of the 3008 and 508.
Hands up, if like us, you wish you were going!
The best way to keep up with show if you're not lucky enough to be going is to follow @mondialauto on Twitter or Instagram! We will be!

September 16 saw the launch of the new on and off air identity for Channel 5 and is a complete transformation of their look, advertising and programming structure.
The shift to Five was an ongoing project with Spin working in tandem with creative strategists WalkerBannisterBuss and advertising company TBWA/London.
Spin’s creative lead encompasses a wide range of off air stationary, promotional material and style guides alongside live action on air idents.
One of the key changes is the removal of the five toned “colour bar”, which originally appeared as a flash between ads since launch, in addition to being part of the logo.
The original colours have now been expanded to five distinct palettes, each comprising five colours. The evolution will see the channel using colour in a more engaging way which will better reflect the diverse moods and voice of the channel. The channel’s logo, previously the number 5 within a circle supported by the colour bar, is now replaced by Five, always appearing in lower case in the mark.
Five is the first UK channel to regularly use purely typographical promos – seeing copy-written type overlaid over sound bites from the channel’s key shows. This method complements more traditional on-air promotions.
The first of the new idents was actually seen ahead of launch on Tuesday 10th September 2002, before the movie 'Saving Private Ryan'. The second of the idents was seen for the repeat showing of the film on Sunday 11th September. The new look was officially launched on Monday 12th September 2002. The new look also saw the removal of the on screen channel identifier (DOG).
A woman, in a car, out driving.
The woman, again, still out driving.

Benediktska 11 is close to Prague's Old Town Square. This lovely apartment is located in the heart of Stare Mesto (Old Town), a five minute walk from Prague's Old Town Square.
The neighborhood is one of the most trendy in Prague, with many of the city's finest restaurants all located within a short five-minute walk. The 1930's building is decidedly non-descript and the ride up the elevator isn't confidence inspiring, however upon entering the flat, all concerns fade. The 1930's parquet floors, the lovely rounded ceilings, the bright living and bedrooms are a place where you can definitely relax after visiting Prague's sites.
This apartment feature free WiFi internet access.
The flat is furnished with period antique furniture, two single beds in the bedroom and a magnificent closet to hang your clothes in. There is a unique mirror and stool in the living room along with a couple of chairs to read in if you need to while away some time. And there's a pullout couch if more than two want to sleep here.
The kitchen is fully functional featuring all the facilities expected in a beautiful flat. There is a large 'fridge, a stove, microwave, stereo, cutlery and dishes. So, if you decide to cook instead of hitting one of the neighborhood restaurants, it's no problem.
But the neighborhood around the flat is great, one of the most happening in Prague. There are plenty of good restaurants and bars and more are being added all the time. It's simple to get out and grab a really good bite to eat and enjoy some of Prague's excellent concerts and nightlife.
If you need to get anywhere quickly, there is a metro around the corner (Namesti Republiky stop, yellow line) or you may simply climb aboard a tram (nearest tram stop is Revolucni, trams 5, 14, 26, 53) and go exploring.

The result could have an impact on the standoff between Obama and Senate GOP leaders over the Scalia vacancy.
The shorthanded Supreme Court announced Tuesday that it has deadlocked in a closely watched labor case that had the potential to deal a severe blow to public-sector unions.
In a one-sentence opinion, the court revealed that the justices split 4-4, allowing an appeals court ruling in favor of the California Teachers Association to stand. The dispute involved the rights of public-sector unions to charge nonmembers fees to cover the cost of collective bargaining — something they will now continue to be able to do in states that permit it.
Unions already had begun to prepare for an adverse decision after oral arguments in January. During those arguments, several justices, including Antonin Scalia, showed a willingness to hold that the mandatory fees violated the First Amendment rights of teachers who disagreed with their union. The court appeared on the verge of ruling that collective bargaining itself was an inherently political activity that nonmembers could not be forced to subsidize.
While the identities of the justices on each side were not revealed in the ruling, the outcome suggests that as the result of Scalia's unexpected death last month, government-employee unions narrowly escaped a ruling that had the potential to cripple their finances and reduce their impact on the political scene.
“The U.S. Supreme Court today rejected a political ploy to silence public employees like teachers, school bus drivers, cafeteria workers, higher education faculty and other educators to work together to shape their profession,” said National Education Association president Lily Eskelsen García, whose union represents about 3 million teachers.
The result could also have an immediate effect on the standoff between President Barack Obama and Senate Republican leaders over filling Scalia's vacancy. The case is the first high-profile one since Scalia's death in which the court announced it was equally divided, which is certain to fuel the arguments of Democrats and the White House that the GOP stance is causing some gridlock in the legal system.
"Today’s divided ruling from the Supreme Court establishes no national precedent while leaving open the possibility that the issue will come before the court once again," said Elizabeth Wydra, president of the liberal Constitutional Accountability Center. "Such an outcome only emphasizes the importance of a court that can operate with a full complement of nine justices that can resolve important legal questions from lower courts once and for all."
But some Republicans continue to say the court can function just fine with a panel of eight, according to Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee.
“When you consider that two judges have said that we’ll be able to operate with eight people, and when you consider the fact that [Associate Justice Elena] Kagan has had to recuse herself on a third of the cases before the Supreme Court because she was solicitor general, I think it proves that the court is going to be able to operate," he told POLITICO after a town hall meeting Tuesday in Iowa.
Grassley also said that moving on Obama's nominee — D.C. Circuit Judge Merrick Garland — would not have affected the Friedrichs decision.
The White House seized on the decision to show why a full court was important to the rule of law. White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the absence of a ninth justice would leave unsettled the divisive questions posed in Friedrichs and other close cases.
"We essentially have laws that are applied in different ways depending on which community you live in," he said. "It is not what our founders intended, and certainly isn’t consistent with the notion of federalism."
The White House and its allies have stressed that ties because of an eight-member court create the potential for different legal rules in different parts of the country, although no such difference seems imminent on the union fees issue, which remains governed by a 1977 Supreme Court ruling allowing such fees.
In addition, the fact that the court announced a 4-4 result in a closely followed, politically charged case may indicate that the justices are not inclined to schedule re-arguments in any of the cases where they may divide equally. That creates the potential of a pile-up of such cases between now and June, giving Democrats more opportunity to argue that the dangers of an eight-member court are real and not remote.
On the other hand, the fact that Scalia's presence on the court could well have led to a precedent-setting ruling against unions could add to the GOP's resolve not to allow onto the bench a liberal Obama nominee who likely would have swung the case toward a more significant victory for labor, rather than just a close call they managed to survive.
The Center for Individual Rights, the nonprofit law firm that brought the union fees case to the Supreme Court, said it will submit a petition for rehearing in light of the outcome.
The high court's first 4-4 result after Scalia's death came last week in a lower-profile case about the application of a law against gender discrimination to spouses of individuals taking out loans.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas made headlines when he very publicly admitted to being an undocumented immigrant in an effort to put a spotlight on immigrant issues.
He is now turning his attention to launching a media platform aimed at reflecting the diversity of America while inspiring discussions about race at the same time called #EmergingUS.
Vargas looks to raise $1 million in 60 days and has already produced a few videos including one called “Dear Donald.” During this particular piece, Americans from various backgrounds and demographics respond to the candidacy of the runaway freight train that is Donald Trump.
Vargas joined Roland Martin on NewsOne Now to discuss his new media venture and the never-before-seen crowdfunding campaign he has established to launch #EmergingUS.
Martin cut directly to the heart of the matter in media by calling mainstream media, “White dominated media” where White executives, television stations, cable networks, newspapers and digital media ignore the perspectives of people of color.
He continued to explain how media misconstrues narratives by debunking the notion that the fastest growing number of undocumented workers in America are Latinos. Vargas told viewers the fastest group of undocumented workers are Asians.
To combat White dominated media’s control over the nation’s narrative, Vargas said he decided to own his own media company and started Emerging US. In what is being considered the largest crowdfunding campaign in American journalism, he is looking to raise $1 million over the next 60 days to begin to “build new institutions” starting with #EmergingUS.
“We have to really fight to make sure that we’re telling our story the way we want it to be told,” said Vargus.

The Deer Isle Yacht Club has a long history of small boat racing, The purpose of the club has always been to promote small boat sailing and to instruct juniors in this sport of sailing, rules of the road and seamanship. From the early days club members could be found racing Wee Scot’s outside Sylvester’s Cove. In the 1960’s the wooden hulled Wee Scott gave way to the Nathaniel Herreshoff designed fiberglass Bullseye. Today our fleet numbers close to 20 family owned Bullseyes.
This famous little boat was designed in 1914, and has been modernized as to rig and construction being built of fiberglass. The Bullseye is noted for its ability to take rough water while being lively and interesting to sail. The boat handles easily, points well and is exceptionally seaworthy. Flotation is provided in the airtight molded cockpit deck. With her spinnaker she provides the challenge of a larger boat, thus giving the junior sailors of the club, and the seniors too, much valuable experience in sail handling.
Our club continues the racing tradition each August with the Bullseye Championship Series. This annual three day event has tested our members skills in all kinds of conditions. Weather permitting the series consists of 12 races on a windward leeward race course. With best and worst finish thrown out. Many years you can find three generations of family racing.

If you want your car to be clean; then you need to consider finding a car detailing service that will restore and finish it well. You need to note that car detailing can be for exterior or interior. There are other services that you can expect to get from a car detailing service, and one of them includes a waterless carwash. If you are one of the persons that is concerned about wastage of water when washing your car, then you should consider waterless carwash. Waterless carwash is eco-friendly and ensures that there is no water that is wasted. You should, therefore, find a service that offers such services to residents, your employees or tenants. A car detailing service will also handle your fleet and make sure that they are clean.
There are different things that should be considered when you are searching for a fleet washing service, and this includes your demands, size and also budget. An excellent cleaning service will professionally clean all your marine machinery. As earlier stated, there are different services that you can get from a car detailing service and these include water-less car washing at public car parking spaces and shopping mall locations. Parking management is an essential service, and here you can get secure storage services and also excellent transportation services. Regardless of whether you have a private car collection, you manage press cars or you need a trusted parking manager, then you can always get parking management services such as cleaning, delivery services, recovery services, storage services, refueling, and many more services. It is important that you choose the best car detailing services when you need any service.
The first thing that you need to consider is a company which provides professional services to its clients. Another thing that you need to consider when you are searching for such a company is to consider one that has enough experience. An experienced company has handled various tasks, and they understand what needs to be done. Apart from the years of experience that the company has, you also need to choose a company which uses high-tech equipment.
It will be easier for you to make a decision about which company you need to select when you have analyzed their reputation. It will not be a good idea for you to go for a company that does not have a good status rating because that will show that they do not offer quality services. An excellent car detailing company will have employees who are experienced and professional as well, and that will show that they can handle any number of vehicles that you bring to them for cleaning, and polishing services.

text: The Nordic welfare model has received a lot of positive attention around the world. High standard of living, small income disparities and substantial social mobility looks like a very attractive package. Moreover, sound public finances and strong emphasis on environmental sustainability suggest that today’s success has not been accomplished at the expense of future generations. But is there really a unique “Nordic Supermodel”, unshaken by the global economic crisis and capable of producing continuous high growth and world class welfare services when many developed economies struggle with the impacts of global competition and population ageing?This book shows that Nordic performance has not been quite as unique or uniform as often claimed. The recent global and European crisis and country specific shocks have affected also the Nordic countries, some of them very strongly. And there are as many variants of the Nordic model as there are Nordic countries. Going forward, also the Nordic countries will be challenged by ageing, globalisation and technological change, some more than the others. On the other hand many fundamentals remain strong in the Nordic countries, and, what is perhaps most important, the Nordics have proved themselves capable of adjusting. Labour market practices, pension policies, and production of public services have been reformed to match new circumstances. Public policies have been aimed at creating new jobs and helping people in transition, not at protecting uncompetitive businesses. There is a strong, rational tradition of consensual policy making. Further reforms are needed, and some widening of income disparities may be inevitable. The message of the book is, however, that refocused and recalibrated in a realistic scale the Nordic model has good chances of thriving well into the future.

This is a great article on how to deal with a strep throat infection more naturally, vs using antibiotics. Strep can have varying strains, and if left to its own devices in a system with low immunity, it can cause other more serious things to happen.
However, keeping the immune system strong and vital means that your body will just need extra support to show who’s boss! My daughter recently had a huge episode, and with a combination of chiropractic adjusting, loads of manuka honey and ginger tea, and a single dose of belladonna at bed time, it was gone the next day when she woke. That infection took 24 hours to disappear. Her system needed support not suppression. Allowing her to deal with the infection by allowing her own body to form antibodies to fight the infection means that she probably won’t suffer again with it, her body will instantly recognise it and kill it off. Both of my girls are really good at running 40C fevers too, their bodies are just amazing! Chronic overuse of antibiotics means that the body will always have a lowered immunity. It’s simply the very last choice after every natural method has been exhausted. Neither of my children have ever had antibiotics.

The MBR Site visited the Water Environment Federation (WEFTEC) 2018 Technical Exhibition in New Orleans, USA from 29 September−3 October.
The conference is staged at Chicago and New Orleans on alternate years. This year featured a small number of MBR presentations scattered within the conference technical programme, including a session on membrane aeration biofilm reactors (MABRs), and a significant number of MBR stakeholders with booths at the exhibition.
Companies present included polymeric flat sheet (FS) MBR membrane suppliers, with many of the providers (Alfa Laval, Fibracast, Kubota, Martin, Microdyn-Nadir, Ovivo, newterra, and Toray) offering composite membrane products and some (e.g. Sinap) offering exclusively rigid flat plate products. A number of suppliers of ceramic FS products, including ItN and Meiden - as well as Ovivo - also had booths. The Meiden technology is employed by Siemens (also present) in their PACT MBR, in which powdered activated carbon is dosed at high concentrations in the mixed liquor, targeted at petroleum industry effluents.
Immersed hollow fibre (HF) MBR membrane suppliers present at the exhibition included Evoqua, Koch, Membrane Solutions, Mitsubishi Chemical Aqua Solutions and Suez, all offering polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF)-based products. These fibres are predominantly reinforced, and three of the membrane module products are fitted with integrated coarse-bubble aerators.
There were also a few companies offering containerised immersed MBR plants, including H2O Innovation and Smith & Loveless - the latter perhaps better known for their degritter technology. We saw one example of an MABR, offered by Fluence.
All in all, the networking opportunities of WEFTEC 2018 were outstanding, and we were privileged to meet both old friends and new. It's always an education.
Below are some of the MBR technology suppliers we had the pleasure to meet from around the Exhibition.
