Can anyone on here suggest any golf course communities (w/a pool also) that is in a good school district? We would like to live in a planned communitiy that is family friendly. The schools are an important factor in our search. Also, we would like to buy new since my husband isn't real handy.
My kids are young, but we've been impressed with pittsboro elementary's principle. My daughter is doing well there.
Chapel Ridge has homes for sale. They have a large pool with a giant water slide. The best part about the course is member's are also members at the preserve at Jordan Lake. So basically you're a member at 2 clubs for the price of 1. $135 a month for dues.
Riverwood Subdivision actually has the elementary and middle school inside the neighborhood.
Do you know if Chapel Ridge has many kids in the community and how the schools are?
Chapel Ridge has a lot of kids, but the neighborhood is less than 15% built out, so they are spread out. Pittsboro Elementry is good. Horton is middle is less than good, but is getting better every year because new families moving into the area are demanding it.
Woods Charter is about to have their lottery. If your thinking of moving here go to their web site and throw your name in.

For Canadian employers, low-wage migrant workers are a permanently flexible and pliant workforce. A feature of their lives is their deportability. Citizen bosses can wield the power of citizenship over the low-wage, non-status worker. Brought into Canada without a family and isolated from any community, these workers do not need days off for birthdays, dental appointments or familial obligations --- all the ordinary commitments that are part of the network of relationships that inform our humanity and give our lives meaning.
Migrant workers programs have created two-tier set of labour and human rights in Canada. The programs themselves are contestable. They manage migration and subvert immigration. The programs legislate a system of labour apartheid in Canada and invite abuse in the form of wage exploitation and the control of workers bodies through schemes that look a lot like human trafficking.
There is a growing body of scholarship and an assemblage of media reports on low-wage migrant worker exploitation and loss of freedom within Canada’s foreign labour programs. But little is known about the conditions under which workers choose to confront the constrictions on their labour and human rights engendered by the inequities within the program. I’ve come to consider migrant workers as people in constant resistance. I’d like to develop on an idea generated by the anthropologist, James Scott, that the ‘weapons of the weak’ are wielded in everyday forms of resistance – be it in the form of passive non-compliance, subtle sabotage, evasion or deception – and understand how migrant workers engage in covert and overt forms of resistance in small, unremarkable ways that nibble away at the structural and legal chains of control embedded within the labour program.
Speaking out about the migrant worker program can invite some dangerous attention. Having been threatened with a million dollar libel suit for a doc I made about the treatment of migrant workers back in 2000, I understand how real the stakes are. And how litigious the employers are. But for the workers, participating in these documentaries pushes the stakes even further. They risk possibly being identified as a trouble maker for speaking out by agreeing to be on camera. Why do workers participate in my documentaries? The answer is complicated, an admixture of personal and political reasons. A dominant and recurring reason I come across is that workers do it because they are sick of it. They concede their own individual circumstances may never change, but by participating in documentaries, by telling their stories – perhaps there will be change for another worker down the road. This to me is a critical act of resistance. And in fact, workers are resisting all the time, in small and grand acts of resistance. Fighting back through work stoppages, protests, civil claim suits, human rights inquiries and criminal charges. And fighting back by insisting on their humanity.
Migrant labour programs are critically altering the demographics of our country; they are tied to immigration programs and are used to build what citizenship and non-citizenship looks like in Canada. So as much as this is a doc about migrants in Canada, it is most emphatically a doc about how the Canadian state protects and builds the idea of a ‘Canada’.

This program attempts to detect deadlocks (i.e. states without successors) in the BCG graph spec.bcg, the LOTOS program spec.lotos, the composition expression spec.exp, the FSP program spec.lts, the LNT program spec.lnt, or the sequence file spec.seq. It is based on the ``bit state space'' verification technique proposed by Gerard Holzmann.
When the program detects deadlock states, it displays diagnostic sequences, i.e., execution sequences leading from the initial state to the deadlock states. Diagnostic sequences are displayed using the simple SEQ format (see the seq man page for a description of this format).
Note: the deadlock detection performed using this technique is partial: due to potential hash-code collisions, some states may not be visited. Therefore, this program is likely to find only a subset of the existing deadlocks. It might even fail to find deadlocks when they exist.
Note: in its first form (i.e., when applied to the BCG graph spec.bcg), this program is probably not the best way to perform deadlock detection.
Note: the exhibitor program can also be used to find the shortest sequence leading to a deadlock.
The options bcg_opt, if any, are passed to bcg_lib .
The options caesar_opt, if any, are passed to caesar and to caesar.adt .
The options exp_opt, if any, are passed to exp.open .
The options fsp_opt, if any, are passed to fsp.open .
The options lnt_opt, if any, are passed to lnt.open .
The options seq_opt, if any, are passed to seq.open .
The options cc_opt, if any, are passed to the C compiler.
Consider only execution sequences whose number of transitions is less or equal than depth (where depth is greater than zero). Prune the exploration of the graph when the distance from the initial state becomes greater than depth transitions. By default (if this option is not present on the command-line) or if depth is equal to zero, all sequences will be considered.
Don't print any diagnostic sequence. Not a default option.
Print all diagnostic sequences. Not a default option.
Print the first diagnostic sequence encountered and stop just after. Not a default option.
Print only those diagnostic sequences which are shorter than the last diagnostic sequence previously diplayed. Prune the exploration of the graph in order to find diagnostic sequences of decreasing sizes. It is not guaranteed that the final sequence is minimal (some shorter sequence might exist, which can not be found by the program).
Print only the shortest diagnostic sequence obtained. Prune the exploration of the graph in order to find diagnostic sequences of decreasing sizes. It is not guaranteed that the final sequence is minimal (some shorter sequence might exist, which can not be found by the program).
=> automatic search using a single bitmap table with size entries. If size is equal to zero, then the bitmap table will be as large as possible, within the limits of the available computer memory.
=> automatic search using two bitmap tables with size_1 and size_2 entries, respectively.
When the source is erroneous, error messages are issued.

Good morning Happy Friday, and happy December! Yes it's nearly Christmas and of course I'm massively behind with my preparations, - well it wouldn't be Christmas otherwise! The new challenge over at Country View Crafts is Christmas with an option of red, green, and rust, so I've taken the opportunity to make some gift tags.
I started by taking 3 manila tags and scraped them with Amsterdam acrylics.
Next I added some stencilling with White Linen Dylusions spray ink.
Time to stamp now, I used Tim Holtz Christmas stamps, and Ranger Archival ink with clear embossing powder to give a glossy look.
Next I added some Frantage rust.
They've been embellished with Tim Holtz Christmas Quote Chips, Thinlits, Bigz Dies, and On The Edge dies. I've had some of these for many years, and some for only a couple of weeks, but everything works so well together. Tim Holtz is VERY clever!
I'm sure you're all in full swing for Christmas (if not, why not), so please share your makes with us for the chance to win £20.00 to spend in the store.
I'm also entering my tags into the challenges at A Vintage Journey - Winter Wonderland, and Craft Stamper TIMI Anything Goes.
Too good to be put on gifts, Sue, they are little works of Art!
These are great Sue ! Love them ! Merry Christmas !
Fabulous tags - I love the depth that you've created! Love them!
Fab tags Sue, love those dots of frantage & the silhouettes look superb against your backgrounds.
I love your tags, dea Sue, each of them is so artsy and christmassy, wonderful! Have a not too busy christmas time!
I do love me a trio! The white stamping looks great over the rusty backgrounds, and those tiny deer are fast joining the older versions as some of my favourite dies of all time!
Sue, I love your mixed media backgrounds to show off those die cuts! Yes, Tim makes his stuff timeless so I have been mixing and matching all season long! And welcome to my world of being ridiculously behind with Christmas preparations! I'm usually 'ready' for Christmas by New Years! Merry Christmas to you and yours! Hugs!
Lovely creations, great backgrounds and colors. Thanks for joining us at A Vintage Journey.

A few months ago, I wrote that soup dumplings are magical creations that should not be taken for granted, and that I planned to devote an entire post to their greatness at some point in the future. It’s now the future.
My first attempt at making xiaolongbao, also known as pork soup dumplings, was so unsuccessful that I left cooking class resenting the little buns. They’re like the matzah balls of dim sum — after 5 hours and dozens of attempts, only one dumpling came out looking like it was roughly the right size, shape and density. And the only reason for this hopeful moment was my teacher, who took pity on me as class was ending, rewrapped my last dumpling so it would not burst while steaming.
Xiaolongbao consists of three main parts: soup (which is a super gelatinous stock that’s cooled to a jelly form), ground meat filling (typically pork) and the dumpling wrapper. Mix the jelly soup and minced meat together, spread it in the middle of the wrapper, fold the little wrapper into the cutest little bun you ever did see, and steam. When heat hits the dumpling, the jelly stock melts into its liquid soup form. Finding the perfect ratio between all the ingredients and nailing the cooking time so the dumplings do not burst is incredibly difficult to perfect. And it’s even more difficult to perfect time and time again.
That’s why I’m floored every time I order soup dumplings at Din Tai Fung, arguably the most beloved and delicious xiaolongbao on the planet. Though the delicacy is said to have originated in Nanxiang, a town on the fringes of Shanghai, China, the Taiwan-based restaurant chain is known for creating the world’s international standard for xiaolongbao. Din Tai Fung took a frustratingly finicky dumpling and made it taste reliably delicious every single time it’s ordered.
After multiple failed attempts at making xiaolongbao both in class and at home, I wanted to witness Din Tai Fung’s wizardry up close, so I asked the company if I could watch chefs doing their thing in the kitchen.
What I observed was a company that’s so obsessed with standardization, precision and perfection, it’s almost frightening. But the results are absolutely delicious, and the level of skill and stamina demanded from chefs in the dumpling kitchen is both freakish and inspiring. I left the restaurant more impressed by the standardization in the kitchen than the food — and I really really love the food.
To read more about how Din Tai Fung makes the world’s most beloved xiaolongbao each and every day, check out my article for HuffPost here.

The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers for Wednesday, August 2, tease that Lily (Christel Khalil) will get updates on the rest of Cane’s (Daniel Goddard) awful actions. Once she learns Cane tanked the commercial by targeting Billy (Jason Thompson), Lily will urge him to tell her that’s not true. When he can’t, Lily will make a bold declaration. She’ll insist that she wants Cane out of the house tonight.
A crushed Cane will argue that Lily doesn’t mean that. He’ll hope he can get her to calm down, but his efforts will fail miserably. Lily will tell Cane to pack his bags and leave as soon as possible. She’ll barely be able to look at Cane after everything he’s done. It sounds like Lily is giving up on their marriage – at least for now.
Meanwhile, Sharon (Sharon Case) will be on a mission to find Crystal (Morgan Obenreder) before it’s too late. Nick (Joshua Morrow) recently spotted this troubled young woman in an alley near The Underground. Sharon vows to protect her in Tuesday’s Y&R episode, but Crystal takes off again. On Wednesday, Sharon will be even more determined to locate Crystal and get her the help she needs.
The Young and the Restless spoilers say Sharon will fill Paul (Doug Davidson) in on their encounter. She’ll explain that Crystal ran away, but she’ll refuse to give up. Sharon will beg Paul to help her find Crystal tonight and get her out of this mess. She’ll worry that time is running out for this distressed girl.
Elsewhere, Charlie (Noah Alexander Gerry) will run into Juliet (Laur Allen) once more. He had no idea who he was talking to during their last conversation, but that’s about to change. Reed (Tristan Lake Leabu) and Mattie (Lexie Stevenson) will be on hand to tell Charlie who this woman really is.
The Young and the Restless spoilers say Juliet will stand there as Reed reveals what happened to Victoria (Amelia Heinle). He’ll note that Juliet sued his mom’s company. Mattie will add that Juliet is the one their Dad got pregnant.
Charlie should see red, but Juliet will probably continue her sneaky tactics. She might think she can manipulate Charlie and swing things in her favor with Cane. Regardless, you can bet that some great drama is brewing. We’ll keep you posted as other Y&R news comes in.

The beautiful province of Sorsogon has stunning beaches and other tourist destinations that draw visitors to it. Hopping around the surrounding areas of Sorsogon is also very much possible with the ease and comfort that Sorsogon transportation provides. In fact, the different modes of Sorsogon transportation can be availed of by just about anyone and this is especially true for tourists. Knowing how to get to Sorsogon and around the city is a big plus especially if one is planning to cut down on vacationing expenses.
Sorsogon can be found on the southernmost tip of the Luzon island and having said that, there are various modes of Sorsogon transportation that one can take to get to this province. For those who are coming from Manila and even Angeles City, there are two options to get here and these are via plane and via land. If one is coming from the southern part of the Philippines though, an option is to ride a ferry.
If one’s starting point is Manila and one is looking to avail of the cheapest mode of Sorsogon transportation, it would be wise to take the bus. The bus ride has two parts, the first of which will get one from Manila to Legazpi City. This bus ride will take about 10 to 12 hours and from Legazpi City, Sorsogon is accessible via another bus ride of less than an hour. The fare is less than Php1000 but if one wants to get there faster, there’s also the option of taking the plane.
Flying to Sorsogon is possible by hopping on a 45 minute flight from Manila to Legazpi City. Depending on the time of year that one travelled, there might be promotional offers that will bring down plane ticket rates to about Php1500. From Legazpi City, the only way to get to Sorsogon is to take the bus. The major airlines that transport people from Manila to Legazpi 3 to 4 times a week are Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines.
The standard means of Sorsogon transportation are available once one is within the city limits such as jeepneys and tricycles. If one is making several stops at the town, the best mode of Sorsogon transportation would be the tricycle. Jeepneys are also an option and for those who need to go outside of Sorsgon’s perimeter, then there are the busses that traverse the national roads.

The breed came into being in Australia. It took many crosses of various breeds to produce this tough, versatile herding dog. Crosses were made with the wild native Dingo, Bull Terrier, Dalmatian, blue merle Collies and the Kelpie. The breed is born white, which is an oddity inherited from the Dalmatian. The breed has been pure since 1893. It is a silent heeler and is able to withstand the heat better than any other herding breed. The breed has also been known as the Australian Queensland Heeler, Blue Heeler and Red Heeler.
The Australian Cattle Dog was recognized by the United Kennel Club in 1985.
A medium-sized, blue or red speckled dog that is strong, compact and symmetrically built. The breed conveys the impression of great agility and the capacity for endurance, and any tendency to being either overdone or weedy should be seriously faulted.
Working dogs are not to be penalized under any conditions for scars or blemishes that are due to occupational injuries.
Loyal and protective, the Cattle Dog is an outstanding guardian. The breed is naturally suspicious of strangers but must be amenable to being handled in the show ring.
The head is wedge-shaped and in balance with the other proportions of the dog and in keeping with its general conformation.
The skull is broad and slightly curved between the ears, flattening to a slight but definite stop. The cheeks are muscular but not prominent.
The foreface is broad and well filled in under the eyes, tapering gradually to a medium-length, deep, powerful muzzle. The topline of the muzzle lies in a plane that is parallel to the topline of the skull. The lips are tight and clean.
A full complement of strong, white, regularly spaced teeth meet in a scissors bite.
Oval shaped and of medium size, neither prominent nor sunken. Must express alertness and intelligence. Eye color is dark brown.
Black, regardless of the coat color.
Should be of moderate size. Preferably smaller than large, broad at the base, muscular, pricked and moderately pointed. Ears set wide apart on the skull, inclined outwards, sensitive in their use and firmly erect. The leather should be thick, and the inside of the ear should be fairly well-furnished with hair.
The neck is of exceptional strength, muscular, and of medium length, broadening to blend into the body, and free from throatiness.
The shoulder blades are muscular, sloping and well-angulated with the upper arm. The blades should not be too close together at the tips. While the front assembly is muscular, overly heavy or loaded shoulders will hamper working ability and should be penalized.
Straight and parallel when viewed from the front, with strong, round bone that continues straight to the foot. The pasterns should show some flexibility.
The length of the body, from the point of the breastbone to the buttocks, is greater than the height at the withers as 10 is to 9. The topline is level, back strong, with ribs well sprung, not barrel-chested. The chest is deep, muscular and moderately broad. The loins are broad, deep and muscular with deep flanks; showing strength joining the fore and hindquarters. The croup is slightly sloping, broad, strong and muscular with very little tuck-up.
The upper thigh is long, broad and well developed. The lower thigh is long and well muscled. There is good angulation at the stifle. The hocks are strong and well let down. When viewed from the rear, the hind legs are parallel, neither too close nor too far apart.
The feet should be round, with short, strong, well-arched toes that are held close together. The pads are hard, deep and strong. Dewclaws are found only on the front legs and may be removed.
Low set, following the slope of the croup. At rest, it hangs in a slight curve and reaches the hock. The hair on the tail is furnished sufficiently to form a good brush. The tail is customarily not docked, however, a docked tail should not be penalized.
Fault: A gay tail (carried above the horizontal).
The weather-resistant outer coat is moderately short, straight, hard and flat lying. There is a short, dense undercoat. Under the body the coat is longer, and it forms slight breeching on the backs of the thighs. Along the neck it is thicker and longer. On the head, front of legs and feet the coat is short. On an average, the body coat should be 1 to 1½ inches in length.
Faults: Coat either shorter or longer than described.

Authenticity is highly supported on this date, even with the Sun still in Libra, as it opens one's mind to receive knowledge from contact with any other person. This is a date of expansion and higher causes, a time when anything becomes possible if one is ready to be brave and jump into the fire for things that they believe in. People born at this time have strong convictions and something creative and grand to push into the static ways of the world.
Libras born on October 13th have a deep system of beliefs to always turn to, guarding and protecting them in times of crisis but often also giving them high expectations in relationships with others. Knowledge found in Jupiter in their planetary row needs to be well-incorporated in their routine and each bond they form, so they can share in a constant flow instead of lowering their expectations and hitting too many walls in their path. What they believe in should always be found within and outer systems of religious or political views will sometimes spark their inner light, and sometimes hold them tied in disbelief by views they don’t really agree with. The more positivity they manage to form in their views on life, the closer they get to the ideal they wish to live in their relationships.
"A Rabbi Performing His Duties"
Although this seems like a proper image for someone born on this date, just as it is, it also speaks of routines that hold these individuals down when they need to feel free. Their foundation is to be found in faith of any kind, but superstition comes with ease and rituals they hold on to don’t always do them good. It is important that they follow emotional contact with knowledge they’ve received, so they can incorporate their visions and beliefs into their everyday life without getting disappointed by the world and turning to solitude, celibacy, or extreme lack of self-expression. The bigger picture must be maintained at all times, or details they wish to work on throw them off track and make them stuck in things that aren’t really relevant to their own heart.
Finding their purpose in little, practical things and different ways to express their individuality, people born on the 13th of October need the right social circle to turn to in the time of need. They are to balance out their vision and higher thought with practical, grounded and obvious things in life, holding on to their big inner world as they deal with the realistic one on the outside, step by step. Their path is one towards self-acknowledgment and freedom of expression, through words, their work, and creativity of all sorts. They need to discover ways in which to communicate with the rest of the world bravely and without holding back or swallowing their emotions.
Emotional world of those born on October 13th can be quite rich and fulfilling, but they will often overthink things and find themselves in situations where too much has to be explained and they’d rather simply enjoy life. The insecurity to express themselves might lead them into relationships where the other person talks too much or takes away their energy. They need enough personal stability to be able to hold on to boundaries that are clear and obvious from the moment they meet their partner. It is important that they don’t fall into the loop of asking themselves how they seem to others, and instead simply be honest in search for acceptance for who they really are.
Their emotional world can be quenched by too many thoughts and their mind isn’t always their friend, especially when they think about other people's needs more than their own. They need an attentive partner who is stable, focused, and able to push their good intentions back to them, so they can truly use the potential of connecting they carry within. At times, they end up in relationships with a large age gap, coming from their need to be nurtured as children, or seen as serious grownups. However, for as long as their emotions are stable and listened to, any romance they form will last and bring satisfaction.
A person born on October 13th excels in teaching and writing, for as long as their knowledge comes from the heart. They make great orators, travelers of the world who wish to expand their horizons, and typically strive at college and higher education where they can feed their curiosity. As they build enough knowledge to hold on to while paying attention to practical details and little things, they gain quality in any area of expertise and find new ways to fight for their beliefs within the system they belong to.
Blue kyanite is a crystal that promotes honesty of mind and helps those born on October 13th to develop the ability to interact with others clearly and without restrictions. This is a healing stone for both the throat and the third eye chakra, and as such aids communication with others as they cleanse the pathway of their heart to the head. A gentle stone that rebalances one's energy and aligns the chakras, it will be useful in all contacts but most of all those with people who are to receive knowledge from their relationship.
Individuals born on October 13th wish for gifts they can learn from, books on different philosophies and religion they can read, or a new adventure to a distant land they always wanted to visit. An airplane ticket to Israel might make them just as happy as a simple ticket to a lecture by someone they love to listen to. Buy something big and joyful to fill up their space and give them vision on simple, little things, such as sewing, drawing and everything done by hand.
Growing, open for adventure, and a bit more straightforward than other Libras, they are honest, direct and aim high, opening wide spaces for others to conquer and look forwards to. Protected by higher forces and ready to help.
As they steer away from their emotional world, they lose the truth in their heart and their way of expression, becoming unreliable and closed for others, pretending to be something they aren’t just to fit norms set by the system they are trying to fit into.
In 1941 Paul Simon was born, an American singer, guitarist and songwriter, who rose to fame as half of the duo Simon & Garfunkel. His music career began when he was 11 years old and met Art Garfunkel. Their cooperation ended at the peak of their popularity.
In 1967 Kate Walsh was born, an American actress and producer, who starred in the role of Addison Montgomery on the series Grey's Anatomy and Private practice. Apart from her career in acting, she founded Boyfriend LLC, a beauty and lifestyle company.

Speaking of all things May, last week my baby girl became even less of a baby girl by celebrating her big 0-4. :-) The girls' birthdays are always bittersweet for me ... they are definitely a reflection and celebration of their beautiful little lives, but they're also tinged with this nagging nostalgia for their younger selves and, especially with the youngest child, the realization that you'll never experience that particular year of growth with any other children after her. I was a bit forlorn to see Miss A. grow out of the "threes" because three is such a magical age and it was an absolutely delightful age for her. She spent almost every moment of this past year being happy, light-hearted, spontaneous, funny and curious. I hope I can take a page out of her book in the year to come.
*G-ma Bunny flew in for the occasion and saved me from having to decorate my first Barbie Cake all by myself. Whew! It coulda been ugly ... ;-) Thank you for blessing us all with your love this past weekend, Mom!
*Cinderella, herself, made an appearance at the party much to the amazement and delight of A. & her friends. She had them practically eating out of her hand as she casually name-dropped a few of her princess 'friends' and various details about her castle back home. Seeing their pure delight in her presence was priceless!
Happy 4th Birthday, Monkey! We hope you have as much fun in this upcoming year as you did in the last ... we love you SOOOOO much!!!

We hope you enjoy this recording! Can we ask you to write a short review after you have listened?.
U2 changed many of the tracks' names of No Line On The Horizon during recording, retitling "French Disco" to "Magnificent" and "Crazy Tonight" to "I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight". "Chromium Chords" became "Tripoli", and finally "Fez – Being Born".

As a property manager, duties include everything from being an administrative professional, insurance expert, negotiator, financial advisor, hazardous waste specialist, rebate tracker, safety authority and task manager. If you think that sounds like a lot, you’re right. Luckily, property managers are not expected to be an expert in all of these disciplines, just generalists.
It’s no secret the role of the property manager has changed and is continually evolving. Over time, the scope has increased to include what were typically considered asset management tasks a decade ago. Consequently, this is expanding the property manager’s job description and forcing them to wear more and more hats.
professional development classes, research industry topics and seek feedback from experienced leaders, striving to continually grow professionally in order to better support their teams and their properties.
Scott has more than 30 years of experience in commercial real estate in the areas of property management, asset management, leasing, construction management, and property repositioning.

Couldn’t agree more. Property Managers are expected from potential clients to have multi skill sets and multi taskings. And may even required to roll up our sleeves and dirty our hands.
And troubleshooting for solutions is expected at min downtime.
Nice article. I particularly appreciate the graphic/drawing so the laymen can actually visualize the literal number of hats.

Staff is working at the facility on Lake Avenue and clean rooms are complete. Tool installation is ongoing.
A national photonics research center based in Rochester could see its first customer by year's end, officials said.
Getting the Test, Assembly and Packaging facility open and operational is more than a year overdue. The Lake Avenue facility is a linchpin in the national effort, taking the technology from a bare chip to something usable in the outside world.
Work continues installing high-tech tools. But clean rooms are complete, state officials said, and core staff has been onsite since August. The facility doubles as headquarters for the American Institute for Manufacturing Integrated Photonics, a $600 million public-private venture backed by the Department of Defense and New York state that has enlisted 100 private companies so far.
"Some of these companies will begin working with AIM Photonics to utilize the TAP facility as soon as December 2018," according to a statement from Empire State Development.
The state committed $250 million — nearly all of which has been allocated, including $30 million to attract photonics firms to the area. Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the attraction fund back in January, hoping to attract companies to set up manufacturing operations in a Greater Rochester area.
That fund, administered by the Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Council, has yet to receive any applications. But officials say they only recently launched a website with details on eligibility and how to apply. Now that the TAP is open, the plan is to begin promoting it more, said Vinnie Esposito, executive director for the council.
The state photonics board is scheduled to meet Monday in Rochester.

E-commerce: Is Pakistan Finally Ready for Online Grocery Shopping?
The online grocery business is a multi-billion dollar industry worldwide. As more and more people are turning towards online grocery shopping, it is expected to get bigger.
Taking the cue from the success of online grocery shopping in the UK, zealous entrepreneurs in Pakistan has gamble into the parallel business in major cities of Pakistan.
According to a report, 29% of Brits are buying groceries online with the sales of around £9.8 billion in 2016. The online grocery stores sales are expected to grow further 73% to £15 billion by 2020.
Majority of the household spend almost half of their earnings on groceries, which automatically makes it an attractive venture for entrepreneurs to enter the online market.
Despite the significant investment poured into this business, the Pakistan online grocery market is considered relative infancy.
While the online market is still making a tiny fraction of total grocery purchases in Pakistan. We tried to find out in more detail, to explain whether Pakistan can copy’s UK success in future.
To start with, Pakistan has witnessed strong growth in the e-commerce sector. With the rollout of 3G/4G, the boom in the internet users is the fastest in Pakistan among SAARC countries.
With the rise of online shopping trend in the region, Pakistan’s e-commerce industry is likely to hit $1 billion by 2020.
But the success of e-commerce for grocery is not going to be a coincidence for Pakistan nor consumers magically going to pop out.
Companies like howmuch.pk have to actively promote their services and have to put a lot of efforts to create awareness about the possibility of buying groceries online.
In the UK, there are several companies that have challenged the traditional supermarkets by using technology to improve the customer experience.
While their strength lies in collecting consumer data cleverly and loyal customer communication that is based on customers’ online buying behavior.
The urban population of Pakistan is a significant factor- according to a recent census report 2017, Pakistan’s urban population stands 75.58 million, which is roughly 36.4% of the total population.
Talking about the middle and upper-class population of urban cities like Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad/Rawalpindi- the combination of the following factors make these cities attractive for online grocers.
The population density is high, people with long hours work, dependant housewives, traffic issues, and limited public transport.
These elements make Pakistan an ideal online grocery market, to shop from the comfort of their home and office.
Similarly in the UK, same factors including high population per square kilometer in cities and swift delivery of groceries has made the UK a world leader to penetrate in the online grocery market.
The other factor that makes online grocery sale work so well is teaming up with the existing stores such as, in London, Amazon delivers groceries through Morrison's large chain of existing stores.
This model can help Pakistani entrepreneurs in rejuvenating their e-commerce businesses as it doesn’t require additional inventory cost for online sales.
Pakistan is a very much penetrable market for online grocery shopping, but what will make them shop for groceries online?
In Pakistan, since the market had not been developed for so long, many companies burned their fingers by entering quite early in the online grocery industry.
The second pitfall is that so many startups and companies trying to make apps to make the consumer buy grocery online.
But that’s not what’s preventing customers to shift to online groceries purchases, it’s the prices and quality of groceries.
If anyone can come up with the best possible solution, people in Pakistan will start switching to their sites.
Until then online grocers have to earn the trust of the local audience as making easy to use apps won’t make any critical difference.
If we have got passed these errors then Pakistan will finally take a deep step towards online grocery shopping in future.
At some point in the past, we all had anticipated that certain product won’t be sold online but eventually, consumers’ buying pattern changes over the period of time.
The scenario for groceries is no different. If online grocery service providers start delivering what they promise then it’s inevitable and the need is there.
If technology can solve price, delivery time and quality issues then online grocery stores will certainly expand in Pakistan.

German researchers suggest that newborns with a head circumference greater than 75th percentile have a five to ten times higher risk of brain damage, an injury that may lead to cerebral palsy. The heads of large newborns are often too big to fit through the mother’s pelvis, which may cause prolonged or obstructed labor. Injury to the white matter of the brain is a critical risk factor for cerebral palsy, the researchers note. “There is excessive risk for white matter brain damage when head circumference is large and prolonged or obstructed labor occurs,” said the study’s author, Professor Arne Jensen, MD.
If you believe your child is affected by brain damage or cerebral palsy as a result of malpractice, please call our lawyers to discuss your situation at (877) 262-9767.

The vineyard is located in the area of Pachimari, in Pirgos Trifilias, Messinia, at an altitude of 400 meters above sea level. The first grapevines, Cabernet Sauvignon, were planted in 1982. This variety had already been growing in the area with success, but not to its full potential, according to Dimitris. After studying the dynamics of the estate’s soil, he decided to grow three more international varieties: Chardonnay, Merlot and Syrah, known for producing high quality wines.
Later on, always backed by his team, he proceeded onto the second phase: growing excellent Greek grape varieties. The fine Malagouzia, the fiery Asirtiko and the plush Agiorgitiko varieties were added to the arsenal of the winemaker. Today, the vineyard is 15 hectares and is cultivated exclusively in accordance with the principles of organic farming.
Every year, after pruning in March, Dimitris, Sotiris and their workers spend hours in the vineyard watching the vines’ growth closely: the birth of new vine shoots, the growing of the first leaves, the blooming of the first inflorescences – one of the most beautiful stages in a grapevine’s life – the production of the first grape.
They spend endless hours shoot thinning, leaf pulling, tipping and topping, watching the grape clusters: those green, small, hard, sour grapes that become full of juice and sweetness while they ripen.

It’s a rainy day. I know much of eastern Australia is either flooded or on flood alert right now, but I’m enjoying the rain. Autumn has come and with it, temporarily in any case, has come some late autumnal weather. This morning I went out in the rain and had breakfast and did my grocery shopping before visiting the local street market for a pile of lemons to slice up into my evening drink, and some boutique bread to indulge myself on. Home I worked as the rain fell softly outside, packing boxes full of books and wondering at those I had yet to read. For the last couple of hours I sat on the couch with Rigby in my lap and caught up on the TV I’ve missed, lazy and indulgent.
I’m much more than that right now. I haven’t written lately because I’ve not been in the right place to write. Things still come to me, thoughts I might share, sentences and even paragraphs fully formed, but I don’t have either the energy or motivation to write them. They wither like fruit left on the vine.
I think raw is a good description of how I’ve felt lately. And exhausted. That works too. There’s been a lot happening, and it continues to happen. I can’t stop because there is not the time to stop. I react instead, attending to different things in a random sequence depending on what is most pressing. The clock ticks, deadlines loom, and much uncertainty reigns still. I manage, and without any obvious issue, but I feel it. My emotions are very close to the surface – sometimes I feel very fragile. I’m exhausted because my emotions have been so stretched, because I am doing so many things at once, and because I feel I am running out of options. I am drained, but I persist.
There was an occasion early in the week. The phone rang early, it was my mum. She told me the doctor had seen her and said she was not so dire as we had thought. On top of that she didn’t have pneumonia after all. He said she might be able to go home for a short while. I was confused. I didn’t know what to think. Instead of feeling happy I felt doubtful. He had seen her for 5 minutes after returning from holiday. He had not examined her. He assessed her by sight first thing in the morning when she is rested and at her best. Could I really believe this? Then there is mum unhappy with the news, sceptical as I am, and wanting to go. There is no mercy for her in continuing to live.
I fell back to sleep afterwards. I had a dream. It was a dream of happy moments with my mum when she was healthy. Then in the dream I began to cry. I woke at that. I felt awful. I felt crushed by the weight of the world.
It’s been like that for much of the week. I don’t know what to think anymore. I had prepared myself for the end and now, possibly, the end had been put off. It felt cruel and confusing. I didn’t even know what to hope for. A quick end, as mum wants? Or a selfish clinging on? Everything in me has been in a state of volatile flux.
Throughout I have pushed myself to do things, but have felt little spirit in me. There has been much to consider, my mum yes, but then my own future and all the complicating factors there, and topping it all off has been my sister. Long denied, I finally accepted my sister is not the person I would wish her to be. That’s been the worst perhaps, a dispiriting, but undeniable truth. I’ve said nothing to her of this, or my disappointment. I know there’s no point. More fundamentally I love her still, she’s my sister, I don’t want to hurt her. I don’t like her, but I love her. I would protect her, even as I’m feeling all this I’m going out of my way to help her in her studies. It’s robbed me of something though, some spark. No-one wants to think these things of someone they love.
I’ve dreamt a lot. Several times I have cried in my dreams. If you need proof there it is, dreams do mean something. I shed the tears in drams I can’t in real life. Still I have felt the tears in me often. Exhausted, overwrought tears. I get embarrassed. No-one is there, but still I get embarrassed. It’s unbecoming for a man to feel this way. This is not who I am, a big, burly man, he doesn’t cry, or even have the need to. Most men reading this will likely understand, and every woman thinks me a fool – and they’re right.
It’s a funny thing this. I am embarrassed to own up to these things. I feel not so much vulnerable as self-indulgent. Still, I have made the commitment to be honest. That’s the point of this. I feel like apologising all the same, as if I am burdening my readers with my pathetic problems. I live that way too. I might cry at some point, and I’ll let the tears come. I resist the fragility though. I don’t collapse. I go on. I can look upon my problems and understand why I might so feel drained and bereft, and will excuse the emotions they draw upon. I can’t give in to them though. I need to keep going, to battle through: it’s what others expect of me, what I expect of myself. It’s what I want to.
Not everything has an answer; happy endings are in short supply. At some point mum will die. My sister won’t change. I can’t control those things, I can only mitigate some against the consequences. In myself I draw strength by continuing, and in the knowledge I will continue, that that is my way. I know things will get worse from here, and the cloud around my life thicker. I have to endure that, and I endure that by moving forward, forcing myself if I have to. One day the cloud will lift. Things will improve. A new vista will be put before me.
See, that’s what I do. I feel all these things and I churn them, and out the other end comes hope. It’s a handy trick. It only works if you do things though.
This morning coming home the phone rang. It was my sister. Mum was told she could visit home tonight. We got that from her, not from any official. Today she is dreadful though, incoherent, confused and barely intelligible. And yet they approved her home visit. My sister was to pick her up, but I had asked her to talk to the nurses, to get some sense out of the situation. So she rang me to say they had decided she would not pick her up, that mum would remain in hospital.
So many things remain unknown. I got a call during the week from the doctor at my request, but things had changed since without being updated. They communicate things to my mum – who wakes up and thinks she’s on a cruise ship – but not to any of us who can actually make sense of it. On top of that the palliative care I had left with the hospital – at their suggestion – seemed to have gone by the wayside. In any case we had been told nothing.
I rang the hospital and was put through to the ward. I spoke to a nurse – no-one more senior is there. I explained to her my grievances. I told her mum was in no condition to come home. I complained I had been told nothing of what was happening. I asked in future for nothing to be done without consulting me. She took notes and promised to do what she could. We agreed mum could not leave the hospital. And then I hung up the phone.
I felt relief. I complain, but I’d rather handle things myself than leave them to other people. For the moment we had a handle on things, though the situation is grim. I made the calls to update people and went back to things, returning to my life for a little while. Waiting and hoping doesn’t work. Not even words do. It’s doing that counts.

Olympic champion Adam Peaty will not face the threat of a ban from major competitions if he competes in the International Swimming League.
Peaty was among those who intended to join the new £10m event.
The sport’s governing body, Fina, had indicated that any swimmer who competed in the ISL could be barred from events including this year’s World Championships in South Korea.
But they have now backtracked on the threat.
Fina’s action was partly in response to their own rival Champions Swim Series, which reportedly offers a much smaller prize fund.
But in a statement following a meeting in Lausanne, the governing body said that, while swimmers who compete in the ISL will not face sanction, any records will be unverified unless a competition has prior Fina approval.
“Fina acknowledges that swimmers are free to participate in competitions or events staged by independent organisers, namely entities which are neither members of Fina nor related to it in any way,” said the statement.
“[But] if an independent organiser does not obtain or does not request the above-mentioned approval, all results or records of such unapproved competition or event will be deemed null and void and ignored by Fina.
Last month, Peaty had challenged Fina to ban him over the issue.
“I don’t care, ban me if you’ve got to,” he told BBC Sport. “I’m not bothered because at the end of the day they know they can’t,” he said.
Tuesday’s development appears to end the risk of future major competitions taking place without the sport’s top stars, with British Swimming – whose officials were a part of the Lausanne meeting – saying it “welcomes the clarifications”.

Any time one is the best for an extended period of time without being challenged, there is a real danger of complacency. The person or persons in question have the feeling "good enough" because it's often been good enough for them to stay on top. That�s one reason that it can be very difficult to get top athletes to train and practice. That�s also how incredibly intelligent individuals breeze through classes and then suddenly fail one or more. This sense of boredom with not being challenged breeds complacency, allowing the competition to catch up.
However, though complacency is bad, the real danger is its evil brother: entitlement. Entitlement is, basically, expecting to get something because of who or what you are instead of what you�ve done. Entitlement is related to complacency, but it is much, much worse. Complacency can be remedied with a simple shock to reality, after which the methods that got you to the top are used to go there again. Fixing complacency is simply a matter of getting back into a habit that existed before. Entitlement, on the other hand, requires a paradigm shift in how the world is perceived. By definition, entitlement results from a total lack of preparation. There are no good habits to revert back to. There are no good habits at all.
When one becomes complacent and is jolted back to reality, it is very easy for him or her to figure out why. They were a leader once, so they know how to get there. It is easy to admit because their training and experience has provided the tools to regain the spot at the top with a seemingly simple method: work hard again. That same jolt back to reality to one that feels entitled to something only breeds confusion and bitterness. There is confusion because that person expects to be at the top, but without the necessary work to get there. They know nothing other than their entitlement. A byproduct of this is bitterness. The entitled feels as if something has been stolen from them, as if they�ve just had their birthright taken away. The experience and skills that have been developed in the initial ascent to the top are non-existent. Thus, the fall is so much farther and faster.
According to the Scorpions, �Passion rules the game.� The person that wants something the most and works the hardest will get it eventually. Entitlement does not breed passion, but laziness. No one that doesn�t have at least some passion or some drive to succeed will ever win in the long haul. In today�s world, competition is fiercer than ever, and entitlement as a mindset will not and can not ever succeed.
The best way to avoid this sense of complacency and, especially, entitlement? Always remember that nothing is free. Nothing will be given to you without you working for it. The days of the free lunch are over, if they ever even existed. Live with that in mind, and you won�t end up at the bottom, staring up at the top and wondering how you fell.

If you like having Millennials as part of your work force, you had better like having pets in the office too. The trend is already well established in the workplaces of major-league Millennial favorites: Google, Amazon, Ben & Jerry’s and Etsy. In fact, one study reveals that 17 percent of employers have pet-friendly workplace policies in place.
“Employers are starting to realize that having a Millennial bring … a pet to work, you wind up getting a more focused employee, you get someone more comfortable at the office and a person willing to work longer hours,” Bob Vetere, president and CEO of the American Pet Products Association, told CNBC.
Other ways to make pets (and their owners) feel at home: sponsoring pet play groups, offering play areas, pet training, pet sitters, and, if you really want to show your true pet-loving colors, pet spas.
Pets reduce stress. Employees who bring their dogs to work have decreased hormonal stress levels when compared to those who do not bring pets to work, according to a study by Emerald Insight. In fact, employees who do not bring pets to work experience increasing levels of stress as the day goes on.
Pets increase employee satisfaction. The presence of office pets improve morale, and promote teamwork and communication.
Pets in the office save employees money. The costs of daycare and dog walking can weigh heavily on employees, especially those who work long days or have long commutes.
Pets “youthen” your image. Pets in the office can change the client or customer’s perception of your business. The relaxed feeling of pets’ presence can make your company appear hipper, softer, younger, and more in sync with the culture (and you probably are).
Pets improve employee performance. Pets in the office tend to inspire employees to work longer hours and have fewer absences. There is no nagging, guilty feeling of having to get home for feeding or walking or worry of leaving a pet alone if they are under the weather.
Pets attract talent. There is intense competition for attracting Millennial talent; if you offer a pet-friendly office, chances are you will attract the kind of young people who will want to work in an environment like yours.
Pets can be a distraction. Not everybody’s work will improve if a pet is perceived as a constant distraction for certain coworkers.
Pets can cause damage. You may have to set aside extra budget money for the replacement of office equipment, carpets and furniture.
Pets can present legal issues. Check with your legal department and your insurance company to be aware of pet-related scenarios that could lead to trouble: a pet bite or an accident, for instance.
Pets don’t read the employee handbook. Pet fights and other noisy disruptions could disrupt your staff and endanger the animals. It could also sour some employees’ or customers’ perception of your company or business.
Pets could overburden your HR department. Having to set up rules and regulations for inviting pets — and the possible implications of having them around — could mean a lot more work for your HR team, giving them more to be responsible for and to oversee.
Another preliminary step: read your lease. Make sure you don’t need special permission from your landlord to allow pets; your landlord may also be adamant about not having them on the premises.
If your business regularly handles food, you may have to check with your licensing bureau to see if you are green-lighted for pets present (in most cases, you won’t be — it most likely will be considered a health-code violation).
Inform HR that their pet is adequately trained.
Present current documentation of an insurance policy that covers their pets.
Ensure that their pet will not cause allergies or other medical problems for their coworkers.
Sign waivers that state their pets’ information and their owners’ responsibility toward them.
If allowing pets can be do-able — and if everybody is on board for it — you may be on to something when it comes to building community, providing comfort and reducing stress for your staff.

The main research objective of this study was to identify the impact of incompatible software on the HVAC and sheet metal industry and to investigate recent interoperability initiatives within the architecture, engineering, and construction and facility management industries.
Documents the processes involved in the execution of a typical HVAC and sheet metal project and provides a generalized process map for such a project.
Identifies initiatives being taken worldwide in the field of interoperability and Building Information Modeling (BIM) to eradicate the ills of incompatible software.
Reports extensively on the International Alliance for Interoperability (IAI) Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) with the HVAC domain being the subject of special interest for the study.
A detailed explanation of the IFC schema for the HVAC domain is presented in this report.
A recent report commissioned by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) stated that waste and inefficiencies engendered by incompatible software applications in the construction industry costs that industry $15.8 billion annually. The New Horizons Foundation research report includes estimates of the waste attributable to HVAC and sheet metal industry stemming from the absence of interoperability in software applications. The study also offers several recommendations to the industry as the advent of open systems takes hold.

One of the prerequisites of working in this diocese is having to go on retreat once a year.
I don’t like being away from the wife & kids for four nights in arrow, but I have to say, I do like the opportunity to have a week without a big agenda (apart from doing church 4!times a day…).
Time to think deeply about important things. Time to read books. I’d say that there is time to chat to your peers, but it’s a silent retreat, so there isn’t even dinner time conversation (incidentally, despite the expectation of many, I really enjoy silent retreats. Reading Stuart Coulton’s “Hitting thenHoly Road has been fitting, as he speaks of monasticism, and I feel like I’ve taken a vow of silence).
I’ve allowed myself just a little time to mention why I’ll be a bit quiet this week, then I might even have some time away from the Internet!

text: In this episode, I talk about Peter Webber's 2003 film "Girl with a Pearl Earring." It's an adaptation of the 1999 Tracy Chevalier novel by the same name, which imagines how Johannes Vermeer's 17th century painting, "Girl with a Pearl Earring" came to be. It's 1665 in Delft, Holland and a young girl named Griet goes to work at the home of the Vermeers to provide for her family after her father is injured at work. She enters a home rocked by domestic and financial instability. When Vermeer starts to paint Griet to appease his lecherous patron, more drama ensues as Vermeer's wife becomes jealous and the attraction between Vermeer and Griet intensifies. I discuss the profound impact that both the book and the film had on my life because it sparked my deeper engagement with art. For this episode, I talk about Johannes Vermeer's life and art, and I explain why I think the film is so powerful in the way that it centers the life of a teenage girl who is a maid, explores the difficulties of women's lives in the 17th century, and shows the power of art to expand and enrich our minds.

Today we’d like to introduce you to Claire Van Holland.
Claire, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I got the idea for starting my firm, CV Ledger, in 2015. At the time, I had been working in corporate media for many years in a financial planning & analysis role. Simultaneously, I was helping my husband with the furniture design business we had started together in 2010. To help grow it, I began putting my analytic & operational skills to use by looking closely at our financial data to better understand our profit margins. By doing this, I soon realized that there were likely other small, creative businesses who might not have access to this skill set, and that this was a great opportunity for me to make an impact.
After doing some research, I found that the entry point into strategic planning for small business was through bookkeeping and accounting. I did my diligence over the next few months, taking the necessary courses to get up to speed on accounting basics. By March of 2016, I officially launched The CV Ledger, and immediately signed on my first 2 clients!
Working in financial services, finding clients isn’t difficult because there is always someone out there who needs your services. The struggle on my end has been scaling this firm at a pace that I’m comfortable with, while still allowing me to provide a level of service to my clients that is nothing short of exceptional.
Prior to starting my firm I had always been frustrated working with CPAs and accountants because there was always this attitude of “I’ll get to you when I get to you.” My needs and questions never seemed prioritized, and whenever I would receive a tax notice in the mail, it might be days or weeks until I heard anything, sometimes requiring that I try all methods of contact just to get an answer. With CV Ledger, I vow never to let that happen and am willing to work with fewer clients until I know I that everyone is receiving the same level of attentiveness and are fully taken care of.
The other challenge has been understanding the profile of my ideal client. This took time to develop and will likely always be an evolution. I started this business so I could partner with folks whose body of work I respect and are willing to take the necessary steps to get their business to the next level. Working with so many different personalities, this has definitely not been without its’ challenges, but it is through the tough times that I now have a much clearer picture of my ideal client.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with The CV Ledger, Inc. – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
The CV Ledger is an accountancy firm specifically for today’s Creative Class. We pride ourselves on partnering and collaborating with creative businesses to help drive informed decision making by working with their financial proprietary data. Depending on the stage at which anyone business approaches us, there are a myriad of solutions we offer to help creatives level up, whether that be through operational set-up, strategic planning or bookkeeping.
What sets the CV Ledger apart from other accounting and financial services firms is that we pride ourselves on being your strategic planning partner. After years of experience cutting our teeth in corporate media, the reason clients come to us is for our forward-thinking ability to use analytics as part of the bigger picture, and our ability to communicate complex financial insights in a style that is clear and straightforward.
As a creative first, it is important to me that I am able to relate with my clients, as I too have gone through many similar challenges.
I absolutely love that there are so many hidden gems throughout the city. Whether it be food, nature or entertainment, all one really needs to do is simply look around them, pay close attention to the places that surround you, and more than likely, there is a spot that has exactly what you’ve been looking for.
I’ve managed to find some excellent restaurants and parks this way throughout Pasadena and its’ surrounding areas. The discovery process itself is one of my favorite things to do!
What I don’t love about the city is the traffic (of course), but because I am self-employed, I am lucky enough to manage my schedule so that when I do drive across the city, it is during non-peak hours.
