Current estimates show the United States behind Russia and Saudi Arabia as the world’s top single-country oil producers. According to the IEA’s Oil Market Report, Russia leads with 10.5 million barrels per day, Saudi Arabia is second at 8.8 million bpd and the U.S. trails at 7.8 million bpd. IEA projections contend that during the 2020s US production will slip down from 11.1 million bpd (the global high), to 9.2 million bpd by 2035. Saudi Arabia will be producing about 12.3 million bpd and likely become the largest global producer of oil beyond 2035.
The Scenario calls for: clarifying and strengthening efficiency standards, for policy makers to support businesses addressing the issue through financing and incentive programs, and implementing regulations to “discourage the least-efficient approaches” so that energy-efficient technologies and methods become mainstream.
Renewable energy technologies are projected to play a leading role in future energy production.
The IEA report outlines the emerging shift in global energy trends, which are straying away from nuclear and tending towards green technologies. However, because global energy demand will grow by more than one third by 2035, fossil fuel-based technologies will continue to dominate the global market.

Do you think the corporate world has more or less fraud in the last 10 years than it used to? Do you think there are more or less people who lie, cheat, and steal today than 50 years ago?
The ACFE 2008 Report to the Nation (RTTN) study on 959 fraud incidents shows that the top two indicators of perpetrators were “living beyond means” and “financial difficulties”. So, in these difficult economic times, one might expect fraud to increase. This report indicates that the way cited most frequently for initially uncovering these incidents was through a tip, such as those provided through anonymous hotlines. The prevalence of identifying the incident with a tip increased from 24% to 46% between the report in 2006 and 2008.
While fraud seems to be increasing, so are the size of the frauds themselves (ala Mr. Madoff), with more prevalent media about them, and better ways of detection. Is our population really more dishonest or in the typical yin and yang of life, is there a typical honesty – dishonesty balance that exists?
I reflect on a different time, about a half a century ago, when my grandfather met Mr. C., an “enterprising” man who was selling profitable shares. My grandfather initially bought some of those shares from Mr. C., but asked for his money back when he heard that others were buying based on Mr. C. touting my grandfather purchased shares. Only because of word of mouth, many others asked for their money back, too.
As it turned out, Mr. C.’s shares weren’t worth the paper they were printed on… A half a century ago, Mr. C. bilked a handful of people for a few hundred or thousand dollars. In today’s world, that could be millions or even billions of dollars, with the right promise and the right “other investors”. The detection and publicity of Mr. C.’s downturn was entirely different then versus now. In today’s world, if Mr. C. and my grandfather worked in corporate America, my grandfather could call the anonymous hotline to identify Mr. C.’s fraudulent act. The internet would likely be used to publicize his misdeeds if they were large enough.
So, in summary, I wonder, are we experiencing more fraudulent acts or are they just bigger, while we are doing a better job of identifying them (through hotlines such as Ethical Advocate) and publicizing them? In these tough economic times, I suspect the answer is “Both”….

New couple alert? According to some reports, Kourtney Kardashian has yet another admirer! Apparently, after chatting with the KUWK star earlier this week, John Mayer has developed a huge crush on the mother of three!
But does she feel the same or not? Here’s what an insider tells HollywoodLife!
Supposedly, John flirted with Kourt quite a lot while they were both in attendance at GQ‘s Men of the Year party, reports Us Weekly.
One eyewitness shared with the outlet that the singer seemed ‘very into’ the reality TV star but one source close to her claims he is not her type.
That did not stop the man from trying his best to create a connection, one thing he reportedly told her being that it was ‘sweet serendipity’ to run into each other at the event.
John was also at the center of another dating rumor before, this time with Halsey, after the two flirted a lot on social media.
However, the woman was quick to clarify on her Twitter account that they were just good friends and seemingly comfortable with jokingly flirting.
‘What if…we let female artists…have friends…without assuming that they are sleeping together? I know I know. It is like, completely ambitious but like, imagine if we like, tried?’ she tweeted.
So maybe the rumors about John and Kourtney are also not true?
Who knows – maybe the two just want to be good friends as well, since they may have things in common that they discovered at the party.
Regardless, if the report that Kourtney is not interested is accurate, John might end up in the friend zone no matter if he has a crush on her or not.

As with the first, this hunt will take place without the express permission of the Weyrwoman, so everyone who chooses to participate runs the hypothetical risk of getting into trouble, however, with the Weyrleader going regardless and the Wingleaders being pressured in one way or another to offer their support, chances are pretty high that volunteers will come out unscathed by the ire of Weyr Leadership.
Oh hell yes J'dan will be there!
J'hal and Lesserath will not be attending, though Lesserath totally would if he could fly, just you try and stop him.
R'sin will obviously be there relishing being able to go out and hunt beneath a cranky facade as he keeps an eye on his Wing and the stupid Weyrleader so the idiot doesn't die.
Marika will be bitching to Ianathe that they should be allowed to help since their dragons are practically full grown anyways....she'll be waiting near the Weyrbowl to help when the riders return.
Colvin and Karou will be doing Candidate things.
L'nal and N'syn will be participating of course, since they're both members of Jungle Wing. Finnmaghaine will be joining the hunt as well -- and M'rek will be coordinating with R'sin to organize the Beach wingriders and make sure they represent themselves well whilst still respecting Jungle's expertise.
In a move that might be surprising to some, O'sir will also be participating, and will be tagging along with the Beach riders since the bulk of them are former wingmates from before his promotion to Candidate Master.
R'ser will be joining and Hannilynne.
The lot of them are joining because apparently duty to the weyr runs deep in Hart's little crew.
D'mir, Y'vis, Vestanna, N'aen, K'rez.
Or maybe its just their sense of adventure.
Ianathe and Ghael are sitting it out for reasons that involve being too young and not yet a rider respectively; and Tircin and Sheali have their own duties.
Nieve and Droissa are off completing their respective tasks of the drudge and candidate variety.
S'ren and R'dan are busy with Weyrling activities. S'ren wishes he and Darath were older so they could participate.
Xitomar is barely aware that the hunt is happening, he's too busy with his chores as a Candidate.
L'ren and Esclamonde are participating (but not IC).
Isotarïne will be with the weyrlings.
Nalata will be doing her own thing.
Thiis will likely be in the kitchens.
Velatha will be with her craft.
V'len will be going along. Anything to show that he's responsible.
Calladren will most likely be doing chores somewhere.
Tallorine Will of course be partaking of this fun stuff.
Though he wants to participate, C'dus is very mindful of his dragon's age and abilities. Best he sit this one out, for now at least.
So none of my characters are useful for this I believe. Which means Keron will be hiding in the Minehall, Neriherem will be getting drunk somewhere and C'bryn will be working, pretending she doesn't need sleep.
Temora and Jaxieth are happily joining the hunt.
A'lem and Sullyeoth will be hunting.

If you’re a regular at this blog, you know how much I love my possibility posses and how important I think it is for all of us to “gang up” on the problem of lack and limitation.
I get together with my one of my posses (we call ourselves the Spiritual Entrepreneurs of LFK) twice a month.
They’re like my own personal pit crew who help me change my flat tires, fill me up with gas and steer me in a new direction whenever I go astray.
Today, Jennifer mentioned something that I probably knew, but had forgotten. That’s another one of the bennies of getting together to talk about possibilities. We all need reminders, inspiration, cheerleading.
Since Jenn is coming off hip surgery, she is currently focusing on the fact that every single day, her body create 500 million new cells.
Not only is that a heck of a lot of new cells, but it’s all the proof anyone should need that reality, as ACIM Lesson 227 reminds us, is up for grabs.
With all those new cells (and, yes, your body generates that many, too), there’s absolutely no reason you have to be the same today as you were yesterday.
I couldn’t say for sure, but I thought she looked at least five years younger.
Fabulous Pam ! I’m so glad to be one of your tribe !!
Our Tribe supports us in ways we can’t even see. They are the wind beneath our wings. We are blessed to be joined with like-minded Lovelies. Thanks for the reminder, Pam. Much love to you, a member of my tribe!
A possibility posse would make all the difference. I’m still looking for mine. I know everything you say here is true. I want to prove it.
Yes, we do need reminders! Lately I’ve needed reminding every day, but every day I thank the Universe that I’m alive and well on this amazing planet. I too am still seeking my tribe; this blog really helps and I appreciate you all!
Good morning! I have been following you and reading your books for years. I live in KC and I would be honored to be a part of the LFK group or events that you do! I am @mkbossygirl on Insta.
500 million cells! Thank you for the reminder. I will welcome them and thank them each day and remind them to feel the love.

In recent years, as knowledge and awareness of the dangerous repercussions and potentially life-altering effects serious head trauma can have has grown, blood tests are quickly becoming an essential resource for diagnosing an individual’s injuries and monitoring any impact these injuries may have on their mental health further on down the line. As more and more evidence has come to light about the seriously detrimental effects a concussion can have on the brain, it has become evident that it is absolutely imperative to monitor the mental and physical health of individuals who have experienced such physical trauma.
Today, the scientific and mental health communities are looking towards a promising blood test that could potentially reveal so much more about cases of neuropathy and help to identify more severe instances of traumatic brain injury when diagnosing a concussion.
Over the last decade, the mental health community has begun to expose the link between injury sustained to the head/brain and the development of other psychological problems down the road. Although more and more mental health services have become more widely available to victims of serious brain trauma, it is still difficult to diagnose these problems and distinguish just how badly an injury might have impacted your brain. Trying to figure out who doesn’t need any additional care and who does can be very challenging.
The only way to minimize the potential effects of such trauma is to monitor anyone who has experienced those kinds of injury to make sure they continue to receive the appropriate treatments. For a long time, CT scans were assumed to be the best way to find any indicators of traumatic brain injury. Unfortunately they are not always able to accurately assess the problem. While CT scans can reveal internal bleeding, they cannot show whether or not the cells themselves within the brain have been damaged, which is the primary cause of traumatic brain injury. Furthermore, because CT scans expose patients to a heavy dose of radiation, many doctors are hesitant to use them, especially in the case of children and adolescents.
A research team led by emergency physician and director of clinical research at the Orlando Regional Medical Center, Doctor Linda Papa, has been hoping to find a better way of diagnosing the kinds of injuries that require further evaluation. “We don’t want to do any unnecessary procedures on people who don’t need them,” Papa said when asked about using CT scans on patients. Papa and her team zeroed in on the significance of two, specific blood proteins, GFAP and UCH-L1. These blood proteins, or biomarkers, are known to be connected to brain injuries, and the team had hoped to find out just how they responded to this kind of trauma. The process entailed drawing blood from subjects nineteen times starting between four hours after their injuries occurred and up to a week afterward. Papa and her team noted any changes in these biomarkers’ levels to see how they might be related to any symptoms the subject might exhibit.
After collecting blood from over five hundred subjects exhibiting trauma-related injuries affecting the brain as well as other areas of the body, researchers ran tests to find out whether or not increased levels of these biomarkers were uniquely found in brain injuries specifically, or whether they occurred in the event of any form of physical trauma.
The studies showed that levels of GFAP and UCH-L1 increased within the first hour following the incident of injury, regardless of the kind of injury sustained. However, they also revealed that people who exhibited signs of traumatic brain injury had significantly higher levels of GFAP and UCH-L1 than people with other kinds of physical trauma, such as a severe burn or a broken leg. This indicated that the dramatic spike of these biomarkers are in fact unique to traumatic brain injury and not just any sort of trauma.
GFAP is found only in astrocytes, a particular kind of cell that forms a matrix of nerves within the central nervous system. Researchers found that levels of GFAP reach their peak concentration around a day after the subject encountered their injury. After about twenty hours, they begin to drop, but will still be present for about seven more days. Similarly, high levels of UCH-LI can help indicate whether or not a patient has sustained any head injuries that might raise concern and need to be addressed further. Nerves in the brain release UCH-LI when they encounter stress so levels of this protein will be notably higher after being subjected to a traumatic injury.
These findings will make a huge difference in the medical community. With all the knowledge we have about the potential impact of concussions now, these findings will undoubtedly prove to be a crucial resource within concussion clinics in trying to diagnose the severity of an injury in the future. Now, people who have sustained more moderate to severe brain trauma will be able to identify and deal with any symptoms of neuropathy they may have developed as a result of their injuries through this blood test. Doctors who have to make rapid decisions in the emergency room can turn to this method in order to determine whether or not a patient needs a CT scan. They can also use this test to check out any potential damage that might not be immediately apparent, especially if a patient doesn’t feel the need to speak with their doctor right away. Now, if your doctor suspects detrimental, long lasting effects they can recommend some physical or mental health services.
“We may not use these blood tests in a hundred percent of cases but probably in eighty percent of cases where there is a question mark, a blood test could definitely help,” Doctor Papa said. At the very least, these kinds of tests will be of huge assistance to mental health professionals trying to determine the best kind resources and services for those patients subjected to traumatic brain injury.
Now that evidence has proven the link between traumatic brain injury and a number of tremendously serious repercussions on our mental health, it’s imperative we find a way to help those suffering. These blood tests will help to uncover whether or not a person has sustained a more serious traumatic brain injury that requires additional attention in the hopes of ultimately benefitting the overall physical and mental health of all patients.

When he has everything he needs, want will seize him, and misery will light on him with all its force.
On him God looses all his burning wrath, hurling against his flesh a hail of arrows. If he escapes the weapons of iron, the bow of bronze will transfix him. Out of his back sticks an arrow, from his gall a shining point. The terrors advance on him, all the hidden darknesses are waiting to carry him off. A fire unlit by human hand devours him, and consumes what is left in his tent.

It’s the dog days of summer when everyone in academics is supposed to be resting from the sprint of the last school year yet also producing a ton of top-notch research. Many conferences are afoot as well and, as everyone knows, these can either help or hinder the dual tasks of rest and research. I’ve been trying to stay moving just like everyone else, so hopefully my readers can tolerate a more personal update.
Here’s some of the stuff I’ve been up to recently, whether in print or in person.
Here’s the announcement along with all the details.
Die in diesem Band gesammelten Beiträge behandeln die literarische Gattung des Buches Hiob, seine zentralen anthropologischen und theologischen Themen, wie das Verhältnis von Gerechtigkeit, Leid und Zeit, sowie die frühe Rezeptionsgeschichte. Die Stellung des Buches Hiob im Kontext antiker und vorderorientalische Theodizeedichtungen und sein Ort in der biblischen Literatur- und Theologiegeschichte kommen dabei ebenso zu Wort wie die Buchgestalten der frühen griechischen, aramäischen, syrischen und lateinischen übersetzungen. Alle Aufsätze verbindet, dass sie die vielfältigen Gesichter, die Hiob im Laufe der Komposition, Redaktion und frühen Rezeption erhalten hat, zum Strahlen zu bringen versuchen. Ein Schwerpunkt liegt auf den antiken und spätantiken Versionen des Hiobbuches.
Denn in ihnen setzt sich die Vielfalt der Profilierung der Figur Hiobs, die sich schon in der Kompositions- und Redaktionsgeschichte des hebräischen Textes spiegelt, fort. Narrative Leerstellen, die das hebräische Hiobbuch enthält, werden gefüllt. Im Modus einer innerbiblischen Schriftauslegung werden Figuren aus dem Buch ausgestaltet und Hiob selbst in der Geschichte biblischer Gestalten und Geschehen verortet. Die frühe Rezeptionsgeschichte erweist sich dabei als Fortsetzung der Kompositions- und Redaktionsgeschichte, sie lösst im Ausgangstext angelegte Erzähl- und Denkstrukturen genauer erkennen, reflektiert frühe Aneignungsgeschichten und trägt selbst zu einem tieferen Verstehen des Hiobbuches bei.
A review copy has been sent along by V&R.
I’t’s the perfect collection of essays leading up, eventually, to the publication of the author’s commentary on the Book of Job. Indeed, what the author has provided is what many are beginning to provide: a series of preliminary studies on a biblical text in preparation for a larger monograph on that text. In such volumes, scholars provide us with a window into their workshop. How do they approach central issues? How do they apply various methodologies to that text? What sort of groundwork do they do in preparing to publish an extensive critical commentary? Those questions are answered in volumes such as the present one.
Anmerkungen zu Hiob 31,35–37; four under Die Torah in den Augen Hiobs; three under Hiob und seine Frau in jüdischen Schriften aus hellenistisch-römischer Zeit; and three under Hiobs Sohn – Eine textgeschichtliche Notiz zu Hiob 42,17 (Septuaginta).
Many of these essays appear in print elsewhere but here they are handily assembled and made easily accessible. The volume’s value is precisely in the fact that so many studies of the Book of Job, which are incredibly insightful, are under one cover.
Der vorliegende Band versammelt acht ausgewählte Aufsätze zum Buch Hiob, die ich in den Jahren 2003 bis 2016 an unterschiedlichen, zum Teil etwas entlegenen Orten veröffentlicht habe, und eine noch nicht publizierte forschungsgeschichtliche Übersicht zur kritischen Hiobforschung in den letzten 300 Jahren.
The author is quite well informed on the topic and brings to bear a wealth of knowledge especially of the Rabbinic traditions. Copious observations from the Talmud and other early Jewish texts shine through in nearly every part. But historical-critical scholarship is also in Witte’s toolbox. He is, briefly, a master of many methodologies and he is tied to none.
I look forward to his commentary. In the meanwhile, I commend this work to you as you too await the appearance of a commentary sure to matter.
Homeschooling can be a controversial topic among Christians, but it shouldn’t be. It’s the only choice for real believers. In addition to the obvious reasons like better test scores, family values, and the ability to ensure your children never, ever encounter a secular worldview before they turn 18, homeschooling gives you a lot of street cred with the other parents in your hood.
1.) The earth can be whatever age you say it is. 6,000 years? Sure, go for it. 4 billion and some change? Knock yourself out. You could even tell your kids the earth is a virtual simulation implanted in our minds by machines that enslaved us after a war for control of the earth’s resources, if you want to.
2.) Your kids can graduate early, like before they hit puberty or before they even get out of the womb. While late-blooming homeschool kids might graduate high school when they’re 13, the average homeschooler graduates well before puberty. A few outliers have even graduated before they were officially born. Now that’s something you can brag about.
3.) You can teach your children important life skills like math, science, Latin, Sindarin, and looking down on everyone who doesn’t homeschool. While those public school kids are still learning how to tie their shoes, you can jump-start your children’s knowledge of extremely useful subjects, fictional languages, and the all-important life skill of sneering at people who went to public school. Don’t worry, they won’t pick up on your condescending attitude any more than they know how to do basic algebra.
4.) You’ll get to feel the raw, unadulterated power of being able to shape the minds of future generations coursing through your veins like holy fire. It’s a high unlike any other, and it’s not just for public school teachers anymore. The power coursing through your veins will quickly become addicting.
5.) God will love you more. This is probably the best reason: God will simply love you more if you homeschool. Favor from the Most High usually isn’t easy to obtain by our own efforts, but with homeschooling, it is!
Poor things never have figured out an actual argument that isn’t based on irrelevant comparisons. Bless their sad little empty headed hearts.

Welcome once again to the Hobbit Hollow Construction Blog! Glad to have you back as always.
So son Terence is doing well over at Manhattan College in the Bronx. He has found that he has developed a taste for the chocolate milk at the school cafeteria. He may have already gained a couple of pounds. I hope he’s learning something there at school, as well. That would be nice. Isn’t that what college is supposed to be about? I better not have to go into my pocket to outfit this kid with a whole new wardrobe cause he’s gained too much weight or there’s going to be hell to pay.
So I got this app called Spotify for my phone. It’s really great. You can download music of all kinds into your phone. It really is unbelievable. You create a playlist of whatever songs you want and store them on your phone. Then you can listen to commercial free music while you’re working. It’s great. I downloaded every Beatles song the other day. Most of them anyway. So I’m over at the house listening to this Beatles song that I’ve always liked and I’m listening to the words and they just struck me as very strange. ” A soap impression of his wife which he ate and donated to the national trust.” From “Happiness is a Warm Gun.” What does that even mean? And how does something like that even pop into your head? I thought weird stuff popped into my head. Those guys thought of some really strange stuff! I’m actually thinking I’m going to be alright.
So on the Hobbit house front we had Jeff the mason stop by to help us out on finishing a couple of items. At the four corners of the house I wanted to finish the exterior of the concrete with a product called Sika 1-2-3. I needed this done before I start the siding and the horizontal trim work below the windows. So the timing was pretty good. Check it out.
After he applies this to the wall and it dries a bit you put a horizontal broom finish on it. It gives the exterior of the house a little texture if you will. Check it out. It’s not fully dried here.
The four corners were done in a similar fashion.
So now I can begin the horizontal trim and the siding without having to protect it from the mess you make with the Sika. We’re good to go.
The other thing he did for me was on the inside of the house. In the hallway we had some serious honeycombs in the concrete. If I remember correctly it was basically the last truck of the day got a little tight at the very end. ( Honeycombs are not something you eat. In the world of concrete this is a void where the concrete did not consolidate properly leaving a void in the finish.) I had to set up a scaffold for him to work from. He used a product called structolite with cement added to it. You apply that to the ceiling and then trowel it til it’s nice.
Jeff applying the bonding agent to the ceiling before he starts putting the structolite on.
If you look closely you can see the honeycombs in the ceiling. You can’t just patch the spots or the ceiling will look stupid. You have to patch the whole ceiling.
This isn’t a very good picture of how it came out. It looks good though. I had always planned on doing this regardless of the honeycombs. That’s why there are no design details in the hallway. I wanted to be able to show people the different ways that you can finish concrete.
I spent the day doing a bunch of odds and ends. One of which was getting the window templates made for the curved window trim. Hmmm. That took a lot longer than I thought it would. (Like most things at the Hobbit House.) I also continued my quest with the electrical. Which is starting to come together pretty well.
Oh yeah, one other thing I completely forgot about. Went over to that Mother-in-Law’s house for dinner Wednesday night. You know, to pay a visit and all. Actually the Editor made the meal and Mother-in-Law did the side dishes. So I get there and my Mother-in-Law is walking around in a nightgown. What’s up with that? So I said to her, “Are you going to get dressed for dinner?” I mean, it was 6 pm! I don’t understand. Why do I always have to be the bad guy and state the obvious. I’m getting these dirty looks. I really don’t know how I get myself into these situations. Now it turns out she’s going to come over on Wednesdays and cook for us. (She is a pretty good cook though.) But if I get home on Wednesday and have to watch her traipsing around my house in a nightgown the deal is off! That’s crazy. Why did I agree to this again?
Grasshopper on the side of the house.
I haven’t been too good with keeping up with your blog posts, but I finally read your latest one and I started cracking up. I hope those muffins were good. I don’t even think muffins exist over here. That’s a problem. I hope you enjoyed Block Island, too!! I’ll be checking in on this thing every so often (or at least, better than I have been!). I love you!!!
Love you too Georgia! I’m glad you checked in!
Yeah Jim, it was a favorite show of a lot of people, yours truly included. And like I said about round doors, not now, you have enough on your plate as is. But I think you could pull it off. As far as the contest….you might get a chuckle or two out of it, it really was quite a sight…I am still amazed and greatly thankful that no one amputated a finger during the construction phase. Mainly because I refused to let them drink beer while they were waving power saws around. The contest came about because SIKA was pushing their new marine grade adhesive-sealant, and I was doing waterfront construction, and we both wanted good publicity. Type in “Proudly Sinking, Hudson’s one-day fleet”, and you’ll get the NY Times article. I won’t tell you how many beers it took between the Sika rep and myself before we finalized the idea of the contest, but I’m sure you will get a pretty good idea.
I thought he had to grab the pebbles out of his teacher’s hand before he could leave the temple. It was something like that. Wasn’t it? That was one of my favorite shows way back when.
The round door is not the problem. It’s the air sealing of the round door that is the issue. I asked the guy at Klearwall if they could do it. The guy was like “No way. I don’t see how that is possible.” It is possible but I think it would have to come after a successful first Hobbit House. I also was a newbie as far as air sealing and Passive House design. It is intense. For me this house is as much about getting to the Passive house standard as it is making it a Lord of the Rings type home.

When you evolve the practice of instruction, you change the perception of what a school can be. A community with a clear vision, a passion for learning and a focus on trust led to a new middle school that is agile and exciting—a place that creates ripple effects of change for students, the profession of teaching and education. The 173,000 sf school maximizes function, with care toward form. It reinforces community and complements a purpose to make every day unique and experiential.
Every space is used in this curriculum-responsive design. Three dens (STEM, humanities and 6th grade) create cultures that are unique in experience but share functional characteristics. Teacher design labs overlook a central quadrant of classrooms that are surrounded by breakaway spaces and labs. Trust in and shared ownership of students is reinforced by the ease of movement between dens and the commons. Spaces seamlessly progress a student’s experience from teacher-centric to autonomous learning.
The community is progressive in educational delivery, but conventional in materials. Neutral pallets, comfortable wood looks, and polished concrete maintain relevancy and durability. Space is intentionally used. Corridors are instructional elements, classroom utilization flows as the day progresses. Learning stairs and an indoor patio create unique viewing platforms in the commons. Classrooms and breakaway areas are symbiotic; they accommodate growth supported by dynamic scheduling.
The community adopted a learner profile. They established a set of student attributes focused on collaboration, relationship building, innovation, and critical thinking. The design answered the call, creating scalable environments where experiential learning thrives. STEM, humanities and 6th-grade dens are mini villages. Teachers share design labs and ownership of students, a concept reinforced by transparency throughout the facility. Being seen, present and engaged is critical to the culture.
Four community educational summits to create learner profile + online survey to prioritize responses + 15 focus groups (parents, students, teachers, staff and community) for additional input = desired student attributes that created a lens to view design. A diverse design team cultivated these attributes into a space that considers the beliefs and behaviors of adults and students. The relationship between learner profile and design cannot be understated. Approach duplicated on subsequent projects.
The design supported and embraced major cultural shifts. Administrators share offices. Teachers lost classroom ownership but gained shared design labs, leading to deeper relationships and the freedom to customize learning. Their culture reverberated to students, who see mentors collaborating and sharing failure and success. Students aren’t assigned a single teacher or room. They are trusted to utilize all spaces and empowered to represent skills and strengths in ways that are most meaningful to them.

Gone are the days when an open-door policy and suggestion box represented the foundations for communication with drivers.
Gone are the days when an open-door policy and suggestion box represented the foundations for communication with drivers. According to a survey conducted by the Truckload Carriers Association, Alexandria, Va., and CarriersEdge, Canada, the transportation industry’s best fleets have been continuously working on new ways to keep drivers in the loop and engaged.
Moving away from the traditional weekly meetings, the most innovative fleets deliver documents and policy updates through interactive townhalls over the web or by satellite. Drivers participate by using a laptop, PC or mobile device or by calling in through a conference line when they don’t have access to the internet. Drivers can also view a full recording of the meeting if they can’t attend during the live session. And, since drivers can view the meeting later, they can stay in the loop and still meet schedules.
While driver committees have been around for years, many fleets give their committees mandates, establish processes for keeping work fresh and regularly evaluating their effectiveness. More advanced fleets treat them like town councils by holding elections and even setting term limits. To offer greater transparency, some fleets transmit committee meetings via the web and post minutes on the company’s intranet sites.
Fleets involved in the best fleets program uniformly provide newer, higher-end equipment to drivers, with the average age of their fleets rarely exceeding two years. With much equipment spec’ing to be done, more and more fleets involve drivers through driver committees or by collecting their feedback.
Regular maintenance beyond the routine oil changes and inspections is just as important as acquiring new gear. That’s why participating fleets have been developing more elaborate communication processes between drivers and shops to gain optimum efficiency. For example, fleets are connecting their trucks’ ECMs to their shop maintenance management systems for increased automation.
Everyone says they respect their drivers. But, since actions speak louder than words, here’s ways to demonstrate respect on a regular basis.
Home time is a priority for drivers, particularly during those must-be-there events such as weddings, anniversary celebrations, graduations and birthdays. With drivers on the road so much, companies should implement policies that focus on how accurate they are in getting drivers home on time and then measuring their success.
Moving beyond the traditional annual recognition banquets, some fleets hold events more throughout the year that recognize drivers for safety milestones, driver-of-the-month honors, various anniversaries, positive customer feedback and other accomplishments such as high fuel-efficiency milestones.
Over the past four years, there’s been a shift in driver coaching. Previously, fleets provided coaching and mentoring programs for new hires, or drivers in finishing programs, but only for a short time. Now, the coaching continues for a year or more, and in some cases, never completely stops. Also, with a greater prevalence of dashcams, coaches can use the data to improve their overall effectiveness.
Some driver programs can easily be undermined simply by locking drivers out of the building and making them use a driver window to speak to co-workers. They are opening up their terminals, ensuring drivers have the same access as other staffers. HR policies, benefit packages and facilities are also being updated, so drivers receive equal or even preferential treatment.

For the record, the internet was my form of entertainment since the age of 14. I would earn time on the internet by babysitting for families that had internet- eventually buying my first used computer. Or religiously going to the library for that half hour a day. I remember my mom telling me not to tell people where I lived. She was barely even okay with me putting a picture of myself on the internet. Or even my real name.
"You don't want any old perverts whacking off to your pictures do you?
And know how many times I was hit on as a child via the internet? Too many to count. Thinking back on it makes me worry for kids that use the internet these days. Sickens me a tiny bit too.
What really pisses me off is that some Mommy's are putting their kids on the chomo's silver platter.
Post an obscene amount of pictures. It's like bait. Swimsuit photos? Never. There are far safer ways to share fun family photos with people you know. At the very least a Private Facebook folder so only your friends can view them. I'm pretty sure Flickr and Photobucket have private share settings.
There's so much more than just candy and puppies!
When I was about 8 I lived in the city of Milwaukee. It was really hot and I didn't feel like walking back to my house so my cousin and I decided to take the bus. A guy rolled his windows down and said, Hey your uncle told me to pick you up. Our family had the codeword system just in case there was an emergency. Besides the guy being obviously drunk and someone we did not know. Used the codeword trick and ran the half block back to our grandmothers house. Might have been different if he called us both by name.
I applaud those bloggers out there that use creative cute nicknames for their kids.
Anyway...My whole point is this. How much do you want the entire world to know about your kids? Not every person that uses the internet is who they say they are. And it's quite easy to try and be someone your not. There's probably more internet predators out there than we would care to believe. Sometimes it's better to be safe than sorry.

Our God is not a weak God. Our Father is not a wimpy Father.
He is, rather, an awesome God, a strong God, a loving Father who creates, gives and bestows without measure. Indeed He is a Father of tender goodness and mercy, but not a God of “handouts”.
Our God tests our faith, proves our wills and our loyalty; and it was so from the beginning.
Once the mighty stone rolled over the entrance of Jesus’ tomb, the silence of the small group that witnessed His interment mirrored that of the corpse within. Indeed, He was truly dead.
He who had restored sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, movement to the lame, and life to the dead, was now Himself dead.
And as He breathed forth His divine/human soul, His bruised head fell heavily on His sunken chest.
The corpse that was lovingly lowered from the cross, and laid in Mary’s arms was scarred beyond recognition, and ghastly pale, the last drops of blood spilled when His side was pierced.
He had given all. And now He was dead.
Back when He had first predicted that He would die, Peter, just constituted first Pope, was badly shaken. He tried to dissuade the Son from the Father’s will, only to receive the scathing rebuke, “Get behind me Satan! You are a scandal to Me because you understand not the things of God, but the things of men.” Matthew 16:23.
Peter was thinking along human lines, hoping for an earthly kingdom in which Jesus would be universally acclaimed. He hadn’t fully understood that integrity such as his Master’s is never permanently crowned on this earth of sin and compromise. He hadn’t learned to trust God’s decrees even when they spell apparent death for, in the end, they always give life. He hadn’t fully understood that this life’s test is the test of confidence in the divine, not the human.
And now, His Master was dead.
Doubt flickered in all but one heart, a heart that knew not the shadow of sin, the heart of Mary. She who so penetrated God’s higher reasons that she had stood by the cross, alone knew that He would rise again as He had said.
As Jesus’ corpse lay in the cold sepulcher, the fullness of faith was reduced to one heart.
All was quiet that Sunday dawn. Mary prayed, and the apostles gathered behind closed doors.
As Mary Magdalen and other holy women visited the tomb, they found the stone rolled, and an angel who showed them the empty place where His body had been, and announced to them that He had risen!
And all those that had seen Him dead and buried, saw Him alive. Thomas even placed his doubting finger in the Lord’s open side. And one after the other, the apostles and first disciples, testified to His resurrection; and one after the other of the twelve, excepting John, sealed their witness with their blood by later dying as martyrs.
Indeed Christ’s resurrection is the divine stamp on all He said and did.
And his bride, the church, born of His pierced side, and confirmed at Pentecost came forth to conquer the pagan world. Hers would be fierce battles against persecution, heresy, and the very gates of hell, as her Bridegroom predicted: “And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Matt.16:18.
And so it is. Through the ages, like Him, at times seemingly buried, the church always bursts forth in the splendor of her Truth. She is like the moon that only wanes to come back to full glory time and time again.
In these days of seeming triumph of so much evil and flaunting immorality, in these times when chaos and confusion have infiltrated even the bride, let us stay with Mary, and our faith will not flicker.
At the apparitions of Fatima in 1917, as Our Lady of the Rosary, she predicted war, chaos, calamities and persecutions, but also said, “In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph”.
Let us pray and meditate on her Rosary, and we will not faint or fear, for Her Son’s word endures through the ages, “Have confidence. I have overcome!” John, 16:33.

Am I suitable for CP work?
I'm new here; I stumbled across the forum a few days ago and, after browsing for several days, decided that I wanted to join the community. I am here seeking advice, however, I do hope that in time I will be able to make my own contributions.
I am currently working as a security officer in a retail store in a busy and relatively rough town (quite severe substance abuse/homelessness problem, high shop theft/violence). The store is based inside of a shopping centre, and I work with PCs/PCSOs/street wardens and security from other stores in a bid to prevent crime in the area.
Whilst I have been in the store for a year, it is my first security job, although I have taken to it very well even if I do say so myself. I've received quite a bit of praise for the work I do and am not ashamed to say it; I make several 'arrests' each week, detect and report thefts that happen on my rest days (I'm the only security officer there) and regularly assist other stores. I've been told that I write good statements, communicate clearly over the radio and handle myself well in confrontations.
The problem I have is that the pay is crap. As you guys will know, the SIA licence is so easy to obtain that as long as you can front the initial cost and count from 1-10, you can work retail security. I know some 'officers' who sit on a podium playing with their phones all day and get paid the same as I do and, well, maybe I'm the fool, but I just can't do that. I need to work hard and do a good job. It must be an ego thing; I couldn't stand the feeling of looking weak/lazy/rubbish at the job. It would kill me!
That said, I've been wondering lately whether CP work would be a natural progression for me, or if, realistically, employers would be looking for those with a police/military background or a more extensive security background instead. Add to that, I am a slim guy who is not physically imposing (although I can handle myself and know when to get aggressive), and I'm thinking that I might struggle to find work. I'm fit as a fiddle, extremely hard working and sharp on the communications/investigative side of things but I get the impression that clients may want a guy with a bit more beef as part of their CP team.
Is it advisable for me to gain more experience before I apply for a CP licence, or will I struggle either way to compete with those of a police/military background?
Apologies for being so long-winded, and thanks in advance to any who reply.
Welcome to CPW, I would seriously consider the fact that you will never work within the CP circuit as you have no experience nor do you have someone to recommend you or better still put you on a team or with a principal.
Iâ€™m not saying it will be impossible but it isnâ€™t very plausible, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it is an honest answer.
My advice would be work within the security sector move on to door supervisor or CCTV operations and see how you get on.
Many thanks for your reply. Despite not being what I wanted to hear, I always appreciate a frank answer. I like the idea of progressing within the security industry but it seems ever so difficult. And sadly, any potential I may (or may not) have means very little when all I can prove on paper is that I've nabbed a few druggies for stealing razors!
Welcome to the forum & hope you find it very informative.
The company you are working for now may be the best place to further your career in security.
Or the shopping centre in which you are working, you could possibly look to move over to the centre rather than within one of the stores.
There are many avenues to try so do not despair at this stage of your career.
Nope. I'll arm wrestle you for a fiver, .... if you accept you won't be in my company.
No one needs to know if you can, "handle yourself" I'm sure you're some pup but you lost me on that.
I've posted similar to this before but thought I'd wheel it out again as you seem a sensible chap and no doubt other newbies are on here and reading this.
Almost everyone new aproaches this from their own point of view, without thinking about why the role really exists, what they have to offer the industry or what can make them stand out from the crowd. They post stuff about being new and inexperienced and wanting to make money or have some excitement, then ask if they'll make it.
CP isn't there as a progression path for guys and gals wanting to move up from guarding or bouncing. At all. You may be in one of those roles and have what it takes for CP, but one doesn't feed the other.
It's a very different role to the others, it takes a certain kind of individual and it takes a lot of training and CPD and most don't make it, either because they don't have the contacts to put them forward or because they're just not cut out for the work, they lack a certain-something, they lack the patience, commitment, the natural quirks that'll see them succeed. It's a very mental role, lots of planning and lots of effort to identify and avoid trouble, if you have to rely on being hard and go hands-on to protect the Principal, you've already failed them as you shouldn't have let the threat get that close in the first place.
People hire you to potentially save their life - if you needed life-saving surgery, would you pick someone who did Security work in the Hospital, was good with a knife and fancied having a go, or would you pick a guy who had years of training and experience and could be vouched for by other guys doing the job already?
If you're a Millionaire VIP and could afford to hire the very best to protect the most important things in their life, themselves and their family, is that you?
If you blagged your way on to a job and found as a result of not knowing what you're doing that someone was seriously injured or killed, how would you feel? Unfortunatly lots of selfish guys out there couldn't care less, are you one of them?
Lots of people don't get it, they like to be able to brag down the pub they're a Bodyguard and like how they can pull women and throw their weight about, they lie on their CV to get roles and they bounce around between jobs when they are constantly found out by those who know what they're doing.
The others, the few who make it, and the few who you should aspire to be like, spend years developing themselves, training, learning. They're professionals in the same way a Doctor or a Pilot is, they have something about them you can't teach, and a massive skill set that took years to aquire and they're the sort of person you'd hire if your life depended on it.
Thanks for the informed reply.

Do You Struggle with Controlling Your Tongue?
There you are, minding your own business at a church fellowship or team meeting and someone says something that wraps your hair in a tight bun. You try to control your tongue but before you can say Methuselah the words are blurting out from your lips.
Momma always said if you can’t say anything nice than it would be better not to say anything at all. Personally, too often I have found that harder to do than I should.
Scripture reminds us to be mindful of our words as well. Words hurt. Like bullets shot from a gun, words can’t be put back in the muzzle once they are fired. Darting out of your mouth like sharp knives, your words can cut deep wounds in people’s hearts. And there’s no going back.
In the book of James, believers are warned of the dangers a loose tongue brings. James says the tongue is like a fire able to set the whole forest ablaze (James 3:5-6).
There is true wisdom in knowing when to keep one’s mouth shut. For one thing, it’s hard to listen when you’re always talking. This can inadvertently communicate a lack of caring for other people, particularly loved ones. Other people want to talk too.
Just because you feel like you have something to say, doesn’t mean you should say it. Blurting out every unfiltered thought that crosses your mind isn’t a great way to win friends and influence people.
But I get it. You’re passionate and committed. You want to be heard. You like to talk. Sometimes your mouth overdraws your relationship bucket. You say things you later regret.
What do you do? I think our flaws are opportunities to turn to the Lord and lean on His Word. We can’t overcome these faults relying on our natural abilities. We need supernatural healing that only God can provide.
In addition to taking your troubles to the Lord, try to resist the temptation to speak every time the urge strikes you. Bite your tongue, think before you speak, and listen first.
And don’t forget, when you mess up, own what you did and ask for forgiveness.
It’s challenging. But you can do it. I have faith in you.

By Nick Lyons | Mari died last April. The night her last painting exhibition opened she felt excruciating pain in her left thigh, which we felt sure was orthopedic. But when the surgeon operated he found the chewed bone, and then she began the long months of rehabilitation, chemotherapy, radiation.
We raised four children together, all into their fifties, some now with children of their own. Mari had painted passionately her entire life, throughout our challenging 58 years: in our bedroom during the hardest years, then in a seedy little walkup room next door, plein air, and finally in large studios on Broadway and in Woodstock. She called herself an “everyday painter,” and her passion for painting never flagged, nor did any of the passions I found in my early twenties. We were crazy about each other and about our children and about making something that would last; we expected to go on and on like that, to continue the dialogue we had started so many years earlier, a kind of duet or dance, stroked by the touch of a hand at the other’s neck in the morning, still half asleep, by hands held as we walked into our eighties, by chatter continuous, without endings.
This is not unusual. Others have been so close. Others by their eighties have lost classmates, parents, siblings, friends, perhaps a spouse. All that lives dies, though like “Everyman” we argue that it comes too soon, that we are not ready. Surely it won’t happen to us. There is no space in our minds for someone close to be not there.
But then the rest of it started, something profoundly sad, inexorable: breath that rarely came without coughing, legs that inchmeal lost their intrepid power, eyes that took on a cast of questioning and fear as one test after another shouted their results, until other functions of the body betrayed her, so embarrassing to that shy woman, as I watched this person I had loved with my heart, whose love had given me heart and purpose and comfort and courage, whose sentences and mine scarcely needed closings, as I watched these things happen to her until, not speaking except for muted whispers, horrible with terror I was hapless to allay, coughing without cease until one morning I held tight to one hand while one of our sons held another, held hoping that something in my life might pass to her, for her life to stay, until her pulse grew erratic, then slow and slower, until there was so little of it and words leapt out. “No. No. No.” And then the pulse ended.
At first I felt nothing. She was gone. She was there, in the raised hospital bed, and not there. I passed my hand over her eyes and they closed and I turned away.
Arrachement. The French word, rough to the ear, conjures the trunk of an old oak, uprooted, leaving a raw hole.
As the hours became days, days months, I tried to crawl upward, starting a catatonic winding down of the life that was no longer a life: closing one studio, turning the other into a storage facility; distributing jewelry to friends and family, clothes to children and grandchildren, giving books from the thousands she treasured to friends who might love to live with them as she had, after libraries said they took too much room and were digitizing. Now and again that first spring I drove to the college where we met and went slowly along the River Road where we first spoke of where our life might go, of our hopes for love, for art, for parenting, for transformation—and how it all in so many ways and far more had taken place.
I thought of where we had started 58 years earlier, of an early fire that had destroyed books and paintings and writings—and of how we built it all again and again, fuller, more richly. I thought of children and grandchildren. Long days and nights of passion. Trips we had taken, paintings and drawings she had made, books I had written. I found a painting of white roses dated seven years earlier, made after the oncologist had given her white roses, to signal her cancer was gone.
Often in the night I cried out—loud, wordless sounds. She had been my life. Without her there could be no life. I was frozen with loneliness. Everything I touched or looked upon spelled Mari. I found a poem by a friend, a woman whose husband had died.
Somehow, anyhow, as I waffled through the months, the sense that I was too old, that there was too little life left to start again, somehow it palled less. There was something left. Some part of us persisted in me and that part craved to be here. Somehow, at a summer concert we often attended, Beethoven, Mozart, Schumann sent music back into my veins. Some faint song, “Choose life,” began to grow in me. It cried out in the bleak loneliness of the night. Mari would always be “not here” but also here; no one would take her place but somehow, anyhow, regretting nothing, full to overflowing with memories, that refrain grew. “Choose life.” Somehow, I knew in my bones that only life begets and sustains life.

The first principle of the Solar Ministry is radiance.
All bodies, whether, galaxies, stars, planets, living organisms or quarks, or indeed any of the other multiplicity of divisions, radiate.
Understanding the radiance of the sun, helps to reveal the nature of universal radiance. For our planet, the sun provides the sustaining radiance that maintains the weather systems, ocean currents and life activity. The sun shines relentlessly, yet the atmosphere may occlude it. Within each being is a sun, the radiant source at the heart of each individuals connection to source. Like the sun, it never stops shining yet may be occluded by the weather of the mind.
At every level of existence, the same principle applies. Each local source of radiance maintains the activity of all it contains. Just as the sun maintains the earth and the collection of beings upon it, the radiant sun within each being, maintains the harmonious activity of the community of cells, that compose the apparent individual.
Each cell, has a sun within that maintains the harmonious existence of the organelles and processes contained within, and so on through each nested fractal set. At every level and scale, analogous processes are at work.
Interestingly, at the heart o f each radiating body is a singularity. The singularity at the heart of a galaxy or at the heart of a star like our sun, or the singularity at the heart of each neutrino, is the same singularity. There is only one singularity and the illusion of separation and distance is an artifact of the perspective of self.
For the Solar Ministry, harmonious radiance is the necessary transmission and the experience of the Singularity is the unique ascendent event of enlightenment.

Since the input values were set to the variables, a and b, we can use a and b to dictate the output values at pins P4 and P5. OUT4 = b OUT5 = a We could just as easily have used the commands OUT4=IN1 and OUT5=IN0; however, using variables to store the values in memory has advantages as the programs get more complicated. In the next experiment, it will be necessary to use variables to store values. The reason we used variables in this program is because they can be manipulated arithmetically, and the next task is to convert from binary to decimal.

Somewhere I have been quite a few times and would love to visit again is Zurich, Switzerland. The city is full of so many things to do and the amount of things we got up to in only a week is surely evidence of these.
Visiting Zurich was a wonderful experience, from the plane ride to the days spent there. First of all, when we were getting off the plane, we were given delicious Swiss chocolates and honestly they were preparing me for the amount of chocolate I was going to eat there! Another tasty treat we got on the plane was a Swiss cheese and ham sandwich. The taste of the rich cheese blended with the ham and soft bread was truly irresistible.

Hey! Welcome to my Game A Month 2 page. For this month I'm developing a stealth game with systemic systems. I've uploaded the final build! Was a crazy rush to get the game complete but I'm very happy with it. Ended up only using the last half of the month to develop this game, going to have a better schedule next month!
Expect bugs and unpolished systems!
There are three levels and the main menu. Hope you have fun!
That's awesome that you completed this game in less than a month! I do have a few things to say about this game and understand that this is unpolished.
Picking up objects is a hassle. I keep having to click more than once to grab something. Either the system is not receiving the input I give it or collision box is too small.
It's also interesting how sound can affect a gameplay mechanic. In this case, I didn't like the sound that is played when I pick up an item. It's a cool sound but it made picking up things feel mechanical and boring.
The visuals are really cool! I see a very clean and persistant style which is a big plus.
I hope to see you create more games in under a month, I'll be following your journey!
Might wanna check out the stealth in the Metro games (2033, Last Light and Exodus). Main character has a small indicator which shows whether they're hidden or not which would be very useful.
It's pretty good, although I found out you can just attack them head on, as if it wasn't a stealth game.
Enemies reacting to your steps could help out a lot there.
Maybe it'd be a good idea to also make a indicator above their heads, telling you when you're being spotted, but as it is the string is fine.
Attacks also seemed to pass through enemies without them reacting, if you're standing too close to them.
I don't know how you're handeling the attacks, if it's a box collision or a line trace, but if it's a line trace, maybe try and make it a sphere trace instead?
And if it's a box/sphere collision box, then try and make it bigger.
I think that about sums it up. Keep up the good work!
I know, I watched the video even before playing the game.
That's why I gave feedback, so he can work out from what I experienced.

The history of Nebona Gewürze starts more than 125 years ago, when Georg Neeb opened a grocery store in Pasing in 1893. “Neeb Kolonialwaren” was a very special enterprise right from the beginning, not just a normal grocery, but more like a small version of Dallmayr, a delicatessen with a superior range of goods. Business went so well that the residential and office building was extended in 1914 and the “Gebrüder Neeb” wholesale food business was added in 1925. From then on, it was primarily the founder’s son Friedrich who took the business affairs in hand. In 1932, at the age of 34, Friedrich was forced to manage the company business alone when both his parents and his brother Georg died within a few months of each other.
During World War Two, Friedrich Neeb hoarded 100,000 bottles of wine, which he stored secretly in a railway underpass. “Wine holds the key to the future, and people will always drink,” Neeb believed. And sure enough, this foundation enabled him to resume his business activities immediately after the war. He had also kept five sacks of pepper, five of cloves and five of allspice under the loading ramp of his shop, and so it was that the Pasing-based grocery started its trade with spices. The spices were packed by hand in little pouches printed with a yellow camel. The business with the exotic goods went very well right from the start, for spices were hard to come by at that time. Neeb also engaged farmers all around Munich to grow herbs for him. In those first days, the annual yield of peppermint alone was 50 to 80 metric tons per year. Friedrich Neeb was no longer just a grocer, he quickly gained a reputation as a resourceful entrepreneur and an expert on spices.
By 1949 the grocery shop had become too small, and Neeb built a spice mill on Landsberger Strasse in Pasing with his new business partner Lothar Wolff. As well as expanding the Nebona spice business, Neeb also sold “Bodenstolz” floor paint, fabric dyes, Easter egg dyes and the pain killer “Asaka”. But the spice mill rapidly took up so much of his time and energy that he soon gave up the other branches of his business.
In 1969 the food wholesaler and the spice mill had again outgrown its premises, and at the age of 69, with the support of his business partners Lothar Wolff and Nikolaus Bichlmayer, Neeb invested in the construction of a new company building. A modern spice mill, a filling station and a food wholesaler attached to a cash & carry hypermarket were built on a 5,500 square metre plot of land in Gräfelfing. The company had 180 employees.
Friedrich Neeb died in 1983 at the age of 85. By then he had already passed on his company shares and management duties to his partners. In the meantime, it is their children who own the shares.
The cash-and-carry was closed down in 1987/88 and the now vacant premises were let. From then on, Gebrüder Neeb GmbH concentrated mainly on expanding Nebona Gewürze. Over the years that followed, the company successfully evolved into a renowned spice specialist carrying high-quality products. Quality and environment management systems, various certifications (e.g. to the International Food Standard IFS), a risk analysis system and membership of the Bavarian Environment Pact all go to show that Nebona Gewürze is a thoroughly modern enterprise.
It was simply the next logical step when Nebona Gewürze started to integrate organically grown products in its range. The company has been supplying high-quality organic products primarily to the bread making industry since 1993. Nebona has been certified as an organic producer since 1999. And in 2008 the new organic range for retail traders was presented at the Bio-Fach trade fair in Nuremberg. Our innovative products BuKross®, Nebona rice syrup and spelt syrup, and our dry pesto blends met with a particularly good response. BuKross®, the delicious, healthy buckwheat snack mixture, was patented in 2009 and registered as a European brand name in 2010.

The SAP Fiori Design Guidelines for web applications have been updated. The latest version includes new features implemented with SAPUI5 release 1.56, and numerous updates to the guidelines for existing UI elements and patterns.
When should you gray out an input field and when should you hide it? And what exactly is the difference between read-only and display-only elements? A new guideline on UI element states walks you through all the different states a UI element can have and explains when to use each one. There’s also guidance on how the different states can be combined.
Users often want to work with their SAP Fiori app data in a Microsoft Excel file or other spreadsheet application. There’s now a utility for exporting data from an app to a spreadsheet. You can read more about how to incorporate this feature in your designs in the Export to Spreadsheet article.
We’ve also seen some helpful enhancements to UI elements. Responsive tables now come with a “sticky header” option that freezes the header when the user scrolls down.
You can now also balance the column layout in forms. This makes better use of the horizontal space, saving users from scrolling down more than necessary.
For an overview of all new and updated content, take a look at the article What’s New in Guideline Version 1.56.
When you write new in this edition: do you mean the new guidlines edition? or do you mean the new edition of controls/feature as part of the SAPUI5 library? Or maybe both? Sometimes we read new guidelines but for already exisiting SAPUI5 controls and elements.
We mean both, the new Guideline version 1.56 which refelcts the latest implementet features with SAPUI5 release 1.56.
Just to expand on this a little: each version of the design guidelines contains two types of updates. 1) updates for new or changed SAPUI5 controls that impact the SAP Fiori design, and 2) general updates that can be independent the UI5 version. To make this clearer, we’ve now adapted the introduction to the What’s New page. Thanks for the feedback!

Subject waste generators transporting eligible wastes directly to one of the "Tonnage Fee Exempt Recycling Facilities" listed below for the purpose of "recycling" are exempt from the tonnage component of the Generator Registration fee. The generator continues to be responsible for the other components of the fee (i.e. registration and manifest).
In order for a facility to be considered as an addition to the "Tonnage Fee Exempt Recycling Facilities" list, a written request must be submitted to the Ministry. The request should contain sufficient information to evaluate both the recycling operation at the facility and the eligibility of the waste classes received. Note: waste that is to be used as fuel is not considered "recycled" and therefore not eligible for the exemption.
Revisions to the list are posted as needed and the fee exemption is applicable from the time of posting.

Learn about the Dairy Revenue Protection program, a new federal insurance tool, with a quarterly payout to dairy farms when milk revenue falls below their insured revenue level. Mark Stephenson, Director of the UWCenter for Dairy Profitability, will provide a comprehensive overview of the Dairy Revenue Protection program and updates to the FSA Dairy Margin Protection Program (MPP), as another tool for dairy farmers when milk prices are low. Important changes to the MPP (including the name, as it is now the DMC – Dairy Margin Coverage) have been passed in the new Farm Bill that may make this program worth a second look.
Crop Insurance changes in the just-passed Farm & Food Bill are not huge, but there will be some changes to programs and there will also be changes to expected premiums for 2019. Join Scott Reuss for this side of revenue protection – forage and grain crops. We’ll review all the policy types to make sure you are aware of what is truly available. Then, we will compare usage of these differing policies and how you can consider using either new opportunities or new approaches to best protect all types of crop production in 2019.
Jan. 31, 2019, 1 p.m. – New London, Crystal Falls Banquet Hall, 1500 Handschke Drive, New London, WI (noon lunch).
