Are you looking for your next big career leap in Rustenburg? PNet can link you to many jobs in Rustenburg. Not only are there permanent, temporary, contract and consulting jobs in the city, townships, suburbs and/or villages; PNet has compiled a checklist to help you get the one that best suits your needs.
If you are set at contributing to the employment work force in the North West (also known as the Platinum Province) of South Africa, you will be pleased to note that there are junior, senior, management and executive level jobs in many industries. The salaries are different and the type of job that you do, along with your qualifications and years of experience should also be taken into account.
Without further ado, here is the checklist.
What is that one thing that you like doing that does not feel like work, but almost play? What do you do really well and catch yourself smiling when you think about it? At times it can be a talent, an innate gift and that something that you do in such a manner that others marvel. Many times people may think it is a big deal, but you just look down upon it and think “it’s easy”.
Make no mistake, at times you may find yourself doing something that is not your passion due to whatever reason, but even then, embrace your journey and learn to see the silver lining. Changing your attitude and having a positive outlook on your career cannot be understated.
Once you have decided on the direction you are heading towards, you need to acquire knowledge, skills and competency. Do your research, apply for an internship, learnership, bursary, and/or study loan if you must, but the aim is for you to work at getting information and skills to help you to be able to do that job pretty well. It can be rendering a service and/or working with products.
Depending on the direction that you are interested in, you may need to also register at a council, do community service, get a certificate, college diploma, university degree, undertake years of training or to shadow someone on the job. There are many different requirements and you must see to it and act according to your field so that you can develop and grow.
Now that you have done your part, this is where PNet can assist you to connect to your career breakthrough. Now that you have done due diligence in getting the competency required for your job, the next step is to add and/or regularly update your CV, search for jobs in your desired area in Rusternburg and take the time to apply.
There are businesses, factories, mines, government institutions and operations that are in search for someone with your skills and expertise. There are jobs in sales, retail, logistics, manufacturing, human resources (HR) and recruitment, banking, security and protection, marketing and communication, publishing, health care, aviation and engineering and so much more.
Thanks to PNet’s extensive connections throughout the African continent at large along with international companies, you can also locate jobs in other places such as Pretoria (Gauteng), Durban (KwaZulu-Natal), Mpumalanga and more. You can also explicitly search for jobs – and create job alerts via email – for jobs in Rusternburg.

Postcard view looking northwest from the Key West Lighthouse, ca. 1870.
Looking northwest from the Key West Lighthouse, now a museum operated by the Key West Art and Historical Society, the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum is visible.
Pictured here in the bottom right, the museum is famous for its six-toed “Hemingway” cats. The house was originally built by Asa Tift, one of the island’s first shipwreck-salvaging magnates.
After the fire of 1886, structures were required to have metal roofs, which some historical Key West buildings still do.
On April 1, 1886, a fire destroyed much of Key West’s downtown commercial district. It burned for more than 12 hours – not helped by the fact that the island’s only steam fire engine was in New York for repairs.
Damage was estimated at more than $2 million, only about $50,000 of that covered by insurance. Most structures in the historic district today still have metal roofs, a requirement that began after the fire.
This photo shows Cuban workers leaving Key West by Spanish ships after the fire of April 1886.
Key West in the 1880s was a center of the booming cigar manufacturing industry. The tobacco was grown in Cuba, but the cigar-rolling factories were in Key West, both to escape Cuba’s political turmoil and to avoid import tariffs on the finished cigars.
The island’s Cuban population swelled and Cuban-Americans were elected to public positions including mayor, justice of the peace, school superintendent and state legislator. Key West is closer to Havana than it is to Miami and frequent traffic between the two islands continued until the early 1960s.
U.S.S. Maine soldiers being buried in Key West Cemetery, shown in stereoview, which produced a 3-D effect.
Some of the Maine survivors at the Army Barracks Hospital in Key West, by George C. Mages.
The U.S.S. Maine embarked from Key West to Havana before it exploded in Havana Harbor, which helped trigger the Spanish-American War. This stereoview shows casualties from that explosion being buried at the Key West Cemetery, which still has the plot dedicated to the Maine sailors.
Stereoscope and stereoview photographs were popular in the latter half of the 19th century. These photos, viewed through a stereoscope viewer – which looked like a pair of glasses mounted on a holder for the photograph card – gave the illusion of 3-D.
Tanzler had fallen in love with Elena Hoyos, a young tuberculosis patient. When she died, he stole her body from the cemetery and installed it in the contraption, where he essentially turned her into a wax mummy. Tanzler played organ music to his beloved and insisted that she awake and speak to him.
When he was discovered, Hoyos’ body was put on display at the local funeral home and almost 7,000 people showed up for the viewing.
This stereoview shows the island’s sponge market.
Until synthetic sponges were developed, collecting and cleaning sponges from the nearby waters was a major industry for the island. It continues today on a much smaller scale. The rivalry between Key West spongers and Greek spongers from Tarpon Springs fueled the plot of the 1953 movie “Beneath the 12-Mile Reef,” starring Robert Wagner and Peter Graves.
A man shows off his goliath grouper, a species that is now protected.
Turtling was another major, sea-based industry for the island. This stereoview shows green turtles being prepared to ship to New York. Sea-turtle harvest continued until the 1970s, when they were protected.
The most historically significant item in the collection donated to the library isn’t a photograph. It’s a letter from 1823, with orders from Commodore David Porter for the Navy to take possession of the island and rename it.
But “Thompson’s Island,” after the Secretary of the Navy, didn’t take. Five years later, the town incorporated as Key West, an Anglicization of the island’s longtime Spanish name, Cayo Hueso.
More images from the recent donation can be seen at the Monroe County Public Library’s Flickr site.
Key West’s 18th Annual Lobsterfest wasn't just about stuffing your face with lobster tail.
Lobster newcomers and lobster veterans paraded down Duval Street at the lobster street fair, some wearing lobster hats collected over years.
Among the 200 booths, there were several lobster gear vendors.
Don Burge owns Mullet Wear Outfitters, which he describes as “a spoof and a goof on all the big fishing outfits.” He sells his wears at seafood festivals throughout Florida.
Combine two hot-weather refreshments, beer and ice cream, and you get a beer milkshake. Depending on your perspective, this beverage may sound either intriguing or alarming, but two restaurants in the Keys pull of the mash-up successfully.

So what can you do when it seems no one wants to buy a home that no one wants?
It gives you a psychological break from the pressure of having your home on the market, and possibly expecting a viewing at any time.
It gives your house a break from the media exposure you get when it’s on all the major property portals.
It reaches an entirely new batch of buyers when you go back onto the market.
We suggest that you take your home off the market for one month for every six-month period you’ve been on the market. So if you’ve been for sale for six months, a one month break is usually enough to refresh interest in your home, but if you’ve been on the market for say two years, then a four month break will ensure everyone thinks it’s a brand new property coming to market, and therefore they will see it with fresh eyes.
If you are not especially enamoured with your estate agent’s marketing, perhaps now it’s the perfect opportunity to change your agent, and truly bring a completely new look to your home when it goes back on Rightmove.
Sometimes, there is no rhyme or reason why one home sells and another sticks on the market, outstaying its welcome. We’d like to make sure your home gets relaunched with a splash and makes a big impact, so if you’d like to know how we do this, just drop us a line or call us, and we’ll have a nice friendly chat with you to help you decide on the best way you can move on.

CEO of HGA (a multiple Hot Firm award winner), a national, 750-person integrated architecture, engineering, and planning firm based in Minneapolis.
“Our most successful proposals help the client visualize the journey they will take with us,” Carl says.
A conversation with Tim Carl.
Tim Carl: It starts with face-to-face communication between the right representatives of both consultant and client to build a clear understanding of contract language, the fee alignments with services, and communication expectations. Clients are billed monthly with payment due upon receipt and based on contract terms.
HGA works hard to build strong, ongoing relationships with our clients – the strength of that relationship is central to successfully navigating fee issues. Project leadership leads the communication with the client, often with the resources and support of firm leadership. Firm leadership gets directly involved with the client when necessary.
TC: We look for diversity – of thought, experience, practice area, discipline, geography, gender, ethnicity, etc. We believe our collective intelligence is a key to better decision making, and ultimately, our success. We look for strategic thinkers who know how to collaborate, speak up, and follow through, and value leaders who can best connect what’s happening on the outside with what’s happening on the inside. Additionally, we have an outside board advisor from a different industry who brings fresh perspectives.
TC: We’ve been lucky. Our founders wanted to build a culture of collaboration and they backed that sentiment up with their business model. Our firm has experienced broad ownership for most of its history. Granted, the percentages may have morphed a little, but in general, 20 to 25 percent of employees have been shareholders. We collaborate on and integrate practice and business. We are transparent with our financial information and seek to have each shareholder strategically engaged in our success. These efforts have resulted in relatively smooth transitions without voids created by employee departures.
TC: We strive to connect with our clients at the deepest level. We work beyond just minimizing risk. We bring added passion, creativity, and insight to each opportunity to make an impact that is measurable and meaningful. Our experience and expertise in a particular project type is often an entry point, however, we win work through our research to understand the client’s needs, through demonstrating how we will listen to them and then creatively applying what we learn to their great benefit.
TC: Connecting our experience, approach, and culture directly to the clients’ needs. We must balance the time, resources, and the hard work of understanding the client, their culture and the specific challenges of their project, and then tell that story of understanding in a way that they can quickly absorb and relate to. Our most successful proposals help the client visualize the journey they will take with us.
TC: Project leadership works hard to move the project forward in sync with our proposal. Before work plans and schedules are formed, the team will confirm scope and expectations with the client and then kick off the project with a project initiation meeting. Every project must begin by gathering team members from every discipline to discuss and document collective goals (budget, building performance, design, delivery, other) so that there is diversity in the input and identification of opportunities and a shared vision for how we define success.
TC: Marketing built on the research necessary to strategically differentiate us in each of our markets and as a national firm has proven to dramatically increase our success rate.
We are in the process of amplifying our marketing efforts through more effective and consistent methods of storytelling that make our point of view more transparent and to differentiate us in each of our markets.
Security, security, security. The protection of our data, as well as that of our clients, is of the utmost importance to us. We have upgraded all of our firewalls, enhanced our network auditing and reporting, and emphasized security awareness on our staff through comprehensive training and education.
TC: First, demonstrate a depth and breadth of creative opportunities with measurable impact on the clients and communities we serve. Second, manage our practices through our values: practicing empathy, cultivating curiosity, embracing originality, doing the hard work of truly listening, and leaving a shared legacy.
TC: Flexibility and variety. There isn’t one benefit that is going to meet the needs of all 750 employees and their families, so we ask what matters to them and then work to incorporate a program that matches their needs. For example: offering the choice between PPO and HSA options for healthcare has resonated with our employees. We’ve added a paid parental leave benefit this year which does not benefit everyone, but is a message to the organization that we value our employees and want to help them in that stage of their life. Retirement planning and financial planning appeal to a segment of our population, but the goodwill generated from matching identified needs with programs positively affects everyone.
TC: On an annual basis, HGA’s board of directors offers stock to associate vice presidents and vice presidents.
TC: Organic growth, by far, is the most sustainable path for us. While we have a strong vision for where the firm is going, we empower leadership in each of our offices to collaboratively craft a vision for growth that embraces opportunities unique to their talent and to their region. Through our growth planning process we are able to look collectively at the visions for growth in each of our offices and identify gaps and make connections that help us all move in the same direction. Gaps are addressed through a combination of internal promotions, strategic hires, and acquisitions.
TC: Having each person at HGA feel intimately connected with their teams and communities while still being able to take advantage of the larger HGA experience. We want the best of both worlds – and this requires a lot of intentional, open and honest communication among us all. High level, effective communication across the firm is the greatest challenge.
Organic growth and growth through strategic hires and acquisitions all require the right investments – in research, infrastructure and labor – to be successful.
TC: We’ve experienced sustainable growth over the last 20 years. Through our growth planning process we have a comprehensive perspective of how we might grow year-over-year for the next five years. Our intentional planning balances how we drive business success with how we cultivate our practice and elevate the art and science of our work to have the most enduring impact on our clients and communities.

The Big Game is this Sunday. No, not Super Bowl LIII. The other Big Game. The one with more penalties and controversies than any other game that's ever been played by a group of puppies (and the occasional kitten) on TV.
Yep. It's Puppy Bowl XV. (That's 15, for those of you who don't speak Greek.) And you'll be able to watch at on Animal Planet at 3 p.m. Eastern (that's noon on the west coast) on Feb. 3. It's a two-hour even that puts Team Ruff up against Team Fluff for possession of the Chewy.com "Lombarky" trophy at GEICO Stadium. (What, you didn't think this thing was sponsored at least as much as the NFL?
Also of note is that all of the puppies and kittens who participate in the Puppy Bowl have been adopted. That's a very good thing.
And coming back for the second year is Puppy Bowl Presents: The Dog Bowl, which you can catch at 8 p.m. Eastern on Feb. 2. You don't want to miss this.
Returning for the second year to Animal Planet is Puppy Bowl Presents: The Dog Bowl, the paw-tastic football competition for adult and senior dogs living in rescues and shelters, hosted by award-winning animal advocate Jill Rappaport. These fuzzballs are oftentimes overlooked by younger pups, but here at The Dog Bowl audiences can see these 63 dapper dogs and the amazing spirit they can bring to any loving family.
So, then, the only question is how can you watch the Puppy Bowl. That answer is simple — it's on Animal Planet.
Philo is an excellent little streaming service that starts at $16 a month for a whole smattering of channels — 44, to be exact — including Animal Planet. Plus it's got a free trial, so you can catch the Puppy Bowl as part of that promotion for free this weekend. (If you want to get even more channels, Philo tacks on another 13 channels for just $4 more each month.
DirecTV Now also carries Animal Planet, and like PSVue it also carries it on its least-expensive package, which runs $40 a month. And like PSVue, it's also available on all of the more expensive plans, too.

A New York judge has told Twitter to turn over information about an Occupy Wall Street protester's posts or face a fine, according to reports.
Judge Matthew Sciarrino of the New York State supreme court said the microblogging site had to produce information on Malcolm Harris or be in civil contempt and face a hefty fine.
Harris, a member of the Occupy movement, was arrested during a mass rally in New York in October 2011.
"You have until Friday to cure any potential contempt," Sciarrino told Terryl Brown, Twitter's lawyer. The judge threatened to set the fine on Twitter's earnings.
"I can't put Twitter or the little blue bird in jail, so the only way to punish is monetarily," Sciarrino said.
The Manhattan District Attorney (DA)'s office has applied for the information to refute Harris' defence that police forced the marchers into the road then handcuffed them for "disorderly conduct and impeding vehicular traffic".
According to the prosecutors the tweets on @destructuremal, which are no longer online, might demonstrate that Harris knew police had told protesters not to walk in the road.
Brown told the judge that Twitter hesitated to provide the tweets because it had filed an appeal. Sciarrino replied that the order is still stood.
"Under the first and fourth amendments, we have the right to speak freely on the internet, safe in the knowledge that the government cannot obtain information about our communications or our private information unless law enforcement satisfies scrutiny and obtains a warrant showing probable cause," Aden Fine, senior staff attorney for American Civil Liberties Union, said.
"The DA didn't do that here. Instead, it has tried to avoid these constitutional hurdles by issuing a subpoena for Harris's Twitter information."
"The information demanded by the DA includes not only the contents of Harris's tweets, but his private subscriber information - including the IP addresses he used to access Twitter over three-plus months, which can reveal his physical location throughout that entire period," it continued.
The DA's office "also asked for the date, time, and duration of each of his Twitter sessions. By denying Twitter's and Harris's challenge, the court held that the government can access this wealth of sensitive personal information without satisfying basic constitutional protections. That isn't right," it said.

Thanks, Carol! I had no idea the Hero Initiative existed, that's awesome - everyone in SoCal, you heard the lady, choose your charity wisely. A few cents here and there adds up!

Steak. Chicken. Squash. It's all coming together in just one cast-iron skillet.
Unfortunate facts of life: You can't drink an after-dinner beer on your back porch when you're inside scrubbing cutting boards, skillets, plates, and sheet trays at the sink.
That's why senior food editor Claire Saffitz took it upon herself to develop recipes that can all be cooked in one skillet, abolishing the mountain of frying pans, pots, and baking trays in your kitchen sink. At home, she goes to almost absurd lengths to keep her dishwashing responsibilities to a minimum. Some recipes add a few extra steps as a result, but for Saffitz, the clean sink is worth it. All the fat, sauce, and flavor that remains in the pan makes these four easily-adaptable dishes weeknight power players.
Shucking fresh peas is illegal on weeknights. Frozen peas work just fine here, and asparagus is easily cleaned and chopped. If you can't find them, you can swap basically any spring allium for the scallions. This recipe is all about versatility and ease. Plus, leftover steak and mustard sauce means you're making a sandwich tomorrow.
Italian sausage in a stir fry? It's not as crazy as it sounds. In fact, it's a move we want to see more often. When you brown the sausage, the skillet retains the juiciness and fat. Cabbage, mushrooms, and scallions give a boost of umami, while grated ginger and garlic push it over the top. If you want to cut down on even more dishes (and no one else is home), eat it right from the skillet.
Saffitz likes to multitask. When you get home from work, throw a whole squash in the oven. No oil. No seasoning. No poking of holes. While that's cooking, put on your sweatpants, unpack your gym bag, make a yogurt sauce, chop some garlic and onions, and rinse a can of chickpeas. Once the squash is done, the chickpeas cook quickly in the skillet, and the herbs and yogurt are thrown right on top. If you don't have pomegranate seeds, use dried currants or raisins to add brightness.
The benefit of only using one skillet is that you never pour off any flavor. It all stays in one place. The chicken fat in this recipe turns the risotto-style orzo to 11, concentrating everything you love about chicken into a tiny buttery noodle. Plus, you get to eat pasta without doing the whole pot of water and colander thing. It looks like less is less, after all.
Need more one pan dinners? Of course you do.
Chicken curry, minestrone soup, and more that keep your focus on enjoying your meal and away from a sink full of dirty pots and pans.

On Saturday 20 August romance readers headed to the Stamford Grand at Glenelg in Adelaide for ARRA’s 10th book-signing event.
With the RWA conference held in Adelaide for the first time this year, that also meant the first opportunity ARRA has had to hold an event in Adelaide. We didn’t know what to expect in terms of the number of readers we might reach. It was always possible that only a handful might turn up. But that was not the case.
In the end we had more than 70 people come along to the signing. The rooms were quite small, so it actually felt like a lot more than that. Readers and authors alike really appreciated the time to chat and enjoyed the event.
We ran our signature hunter competition again too. The winner, Crystal, was at the signing with her friend Michelle, who had also collected signatures from all the authors and the two were going to share the two bags stuffed full of books and goodies.

A team of Chicago Booth students used the Chicago Approach to win the 2015 Kellogg Biotech & Healthcare Case Competition at Northwestern University.
Team Evidence—comprising Dr. Jonas de Souza, Lindsay Davis, Jason Lipes, and Barry Sandall, all Chicago Booth MBA students—took the $5,000 first-place prize with a launch plan that included pricing and forecasting for Amgen’s medication Evolocumab, a newer cholesterol drug under FDA consideration.
Forty teams applied to participate and ten teams from eight top business schools were selected. These teams presented their plans to judges from AbbVie, a Fortune 500 researcher and developer of biopharmaceuticals.
Team Evidence used the Chicago Approach to create its winning plan, de Souza said.
Chicago Booth teams are on a run of success at the 12-year-old case competition, finishing second in 2014, 2013, and 2009.
The title secured January 25 came over tough competition, including second-place winner Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley; and third-place finisher Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell.

This post lets you know about Women Howling at the Moon this Saturday night at Bardon (Brisbane) - for those of you interested in networking with interesting women, eating some good healthy tucker and learning how the free-to-use Instagram might become a friend to your business.
First though, I'd like to share with you that on most Wednesdays I climb Brisbane's Mt Coot-tha at dawn with a small group of women. It is a beautiful way to start the day. We are invariably inspired by the beauty of the mountain and by the delight of interspersing quiet walking with sharing around our businesses, our life journeys and the planet.
Below is a shot of the track, and this morning's intrepid walkers - Chris (me), Annie - and Hannah who I met this morning - appreciating those first rays of sunshine a the top of the mountain.
The three of us will be at Women Howling at the Moon on Saturday night. This is doubly exciting for me as amazingly it turns out that Hannah has a most inspiring Instagram story of her own that she'll be happy to share.
Hannah started taking and sharing photos via INSTAGRAM just on a year ago, just for herself, as part of her own healing and whole food journey. Her story is inspiring, but for now what I'd like to focus on is what opened up for her out of that tiny Instagram beginning.
Hannah now has 4000 devoted followers! Plus she has an Instagram-based business, thanks to her use of that medium and being approached by a large company to do essentially just what she was already doing - ie taking beautiful photographs of food ingredients and dishes and other related delights. Sounds tough, eh!
You can meet Hannah on Saturday. You can also follow Hannah on Instagram at @nourishingcells and visit her Nourishing Cells website.
So, a query I'd love to hear your thoughts on. Do you use Instagram, either for home or for your business? And if so, how?
I'm starting to get the sense that Instagram can be a useful part of the building-a-following strategy for almost any business or project, from architects and optometrists, clothes and cake shops through to accountants, yoga studios, plumbers and gardeners - so long as there's an interest in providing a more accessible presence for the business.
It's an active environment that connects a global community of 200 million monthly active user, with 65% of users located outside the US.
The Instagram session will be led by Jasmine Birks from Media Me Marketing.
Participants joining us this time so far include photographer Hannah, filmmaker Wendy Rogers, naturopath Annie O'Moon Browning and accountant Kerry McGovern. Plus skyping in from further afield will be Lani Morris (Map of Meaning) from the land of the long white cloud, and I do believe Zohl de Ishtar, coordinator of Australia's very remote Kapululangu Aboriginal Women's Law and Culture Centre in WA.
There's a space for you too and it'd be lovely to see you, and a bring a friend if you wish. Every woman is welcome. There's no limit on professions etc, and just a $20 registration to help cover venue hire and tucker.
There are just two more events in this current social media series of Women Howling at the Moon.
In August we'll cover Pinterest (Monday 11 August, Amanda Hoffman presenting).
Then in September the last event in this Getting Social Media Savvy series will feature LinkedIn (Tuesday 9 September) for all those who missed the powerful LinkedIn session earlier in the year - or would like another opportunity to access Amanda's brilliant resources.
For October, Women Howling at the Moon will turn to the very relevant topic of Women's Leadership and Women in Business.
Thanks for reading, visiting and sharing.

Often, new board members would like an introductory guide that states what are their duties and by what authority do they operate. Below is a collection of common duties performed by Board members. You should be aware that the law differs between various states, and therefore our board seeks legal advice before acting.
The Educational Community for Homeowners has an in-depth article that does a really good job of expanding on many of these points.

I wanted to share this story just as a bit of a warning to other remodelers. When I moved into my house in Mission Viejo 7 years ago, a lot of renovation work had already been done. There was some flooring that needed extending, lots of odd job type repairs, painting and a bit of drywall. That’s not much I thought. I don’t really need a main contractor for that. I wasn’t working at the time so was confident I could be around to supervise the different sub contractors. I really thought this would save me money! Well it didn’t. Thank God it worked out OK in the end and the stress of the process had the added benefit of causing me to lose 10 lbs! But I would never do it again.
First of all my budget kept expanding because I had not sat down and planned what I wanted in detail. Everything was piecemeal with decisions made as I went along. Far more work needed doing than I had anticipated. For example I removed some old fashioned wood cladding from the living room walls only to find that the drywall was not in good condition and needed redoing. The electrical wiring needed more upgrades than I thought I would need.
When it is not your area of expertise, it is hard to supervise anyone. I had no idea whether my subcontractors were doing a good job and they would change quite frequently so I was seeing different faces all the time.
I made the mistake of paying the partner of my flooring guy with a check made out to him personally. No real paperwork. All very vague. But he had a plausible story and we had been getting along great. Turns out the partners were having difficulties between themselves and the guy ran off with the check never to be seen again!
I know I am making myself sound really stupid but it is easy to get taken in. And it is hard not to get tempted by a big saving. Even if you think your reno job is small, I would get a proper estimate, get everything in writing and definitely work with a general contractor.

Here at RTRR we scour the Earth (no we don't; we peruse the internet) looking for new Rum Distillers (remember new to us is new... they may be 25 years old -- but to us, they are new) to talk about and add to our always growing list.
the Rougaroux, (Roo ga roo). It lingers in the sugarcane fields, emerging only during the full moon to exact justice on the wicked. Because of their monster flavor, we chose this name for our rums. We start with pure black strap molasses and raw sugar grown and milled from a family owned farm just down the road from our distillery located in the middle of the cane fields in Thibodaux, Louisiana. Our Full Moon Dark Rum is aged on white oak for smoothness and flavor, with no extracts, caramel or artificial ingredients added.
Deep in the heart of the Southern Louisiana Cajun country lurks a mysterious creature called the Rougaroux, (Roo ga roo). It lingers in the sugarcane fields, emerging only during the full moon to exact justice on the wicked, its curse lasting 101 days. Our American Style 101 proof rum delivers monstrous power, with a bold molasses flavor and a lingering sweetness unique to sugarcane grown in Louisiana. We start with sugar grown and milled from a family owned farm just down the road from our distillery located in Thibodaux, Louisiana. Handcrafted each step of the way – from farm to bottle and cane to cocktail.
Our clear rum is not your grandmother's clear rum! We purposely decided to deviate from conventional wisdom and produce a "Rum Moonshine" - hot, bold, massive, with enough punch to sear right through you. And that's what Sugarshine does.
However, a funny thing happened on the way to the bar: we discovered that the thick molasses and brown sugar character of Sugarshine is absolutely fantastic in cocktails. If you want your rum and coke to taste like coke, buy something else. If you want it to taste like rum, you've found your nirvana.
Rougaroux, (Roo ga roo). It lingers in the sugarcane fields and swamps, emerging only during a full moon to exact justice on the wicked. Legend has it that 13 pennies laid outside your door will protect you. The Rougaroux cannot count past the number 12 and keep trying until the sun rises and he has to retreat back to his lair. Our 13 Pennies Praline Rum begins with only locally produced raw sugar and molasses and is flavored with toasted pecans, local craft-made cane syrup, and Madagascar vanilla beans. Our rum is handcrafted in small batches at our distillery, located in the middle of a sugarcane field in Thibodaux, Louisiana. And yes…. There are 13 Pennies right outside our front door.
Alright, that made me thirsty..... As usual, they are on my "To Taste" list. I would appreciate any comments from those of you who HAVE tasted any or all of their rum... When you have a chance please stop by their website and let them know you found them through Rick The Rum Runner!
That's it for now --- See you Next Week!!
Seeking out American Made Rums, and telling you about it.

In general, Boston’s performance on standardized tests has tracked the national trends since the early 2000s, but Boston made faster progress when the nation as a whole was improving, and Boston’s slowdown in the past five years has been more pronounced. Furthermore, while Boston continues to outperform many other large urban districts, some peer cities have instituted reforms…that have contributed to more rapid progress in recent years compared to BPS. Meanwhile, BPS has struggled to make a dent in persistent racial and ethnic disparities in test scores and graduation rates. Without the launch of new and innovative initiatives to improve equity and address stagnating achievement trends, BPS could be at risk of losing its status as a national leader in pre-K-12 education.
Speaking personally, I found writing the report to be a sobering exercise. BPS was certainly busy over the last ten years — including big changes to teacher hiring practices, an expansion of pre-K, and a change to how it funds its schools, among other things — and yet student achievement scores didn’t budge. Worse, some initiatives, like a re-designed school assignment system, led to increased racial segregation and may have contributed to declines in achievement for black and Hispanic students. Meanwhile, other efforts, such as plans to deal with Boston’s aging school facilities and to create a unified school application process, have struggled to get off the ground amidst political battles and public pushback.
Boston’s education system is unique in its particulars, but the broader story is similar to what’s going on in the rest of the country. And Boston, like the rest of the country, is now at an inflection point. Boston is currently searching for its fifth superintendent in 10 years, so it will be critical for that leader to articulate a clear vision forward. While we don’t claim to have answers, we hope our report is useful to leaders in Boston and elsewhere to diagnose current trends and give some historical explanations of what happened and why. (You can also watch a live discussion of this report here.) Like Boston, the country is becoming more diverse, and any future gains will depend on how well schools are able to provide educational services to our most disadvantaged students.

What Good Are Higher Graduation Rates If Students Aren’t Learning More?
On Thursday, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) released the results of its 2015 science assessment for America’s 4th, 8th, and 12th grade students. Only 22 percent of 12th graders scored at or above the proficient level, compared to 38 percent of 4th graders and 34 percent of 8th graders. And while 4th and 8th graders both saw a small but significant improvement from 2009, high school seniors stagnated — earning the same average score as the 2009 sample.
This was also true across all subgroups. Among students of colors, students with disabilities, English language learners (ELLs), rural students, and female students, not a single group saw a statistically significant score change from 2009.
We saw a similar trend in April, when NAEP released the 12th grade results of its 2015 reading and math assessments. Seniors’ average reading score did not significantly change — again across every single subgroup. The average 12th grade math score declined.
And yet, earlier this month, data released by the U.S. Department of Education (ED) showed that America’s high school graduation rate has reached a record high of 83 percent, continuing a five year trend. In stark contrast with this year’s NAEP data, rates among students of color, students with disabilities, ELLs, and low-income students have all improved.
While this is certainly good news, it begs the question: What good are higher graduation rates if students aren’t learning more?
According to ED Secretary John King: “Students who have a high school diploma do better in the 21st Century economy than students who don’t. So having a higher graduation rate is meaningful progress.” While high school graduates do earn more than non-graduates, this answer is still deeply unsatisfying.
States will have the opportunity to seriously address America’s stagnant high schools in the coming years. The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), signed into law last December, provides greater flexibility for states in almost every facet of federal K-12 education policy. The law makes it easier for states to spend Title I money on high school students. It also gives states much greater leeway for using school improvement funds, including an optional set-aside for programs like Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and career and technical education. It remains to be seen exactly how states will implement the law, but luckily we’ll have NAEP along the way to give us a national snapshot of student learning.
We’re doing a better job of shepherding students to high school completion — now we just need to make sure they actually learn something.

As the nation mourns the 43rd anniversary of legalized abortion today, Operation Rescue reports that one of the profiteers of that legalization has sent another reminder that abortion is neither legal nor safe.
This week, infamous late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart’s sent his sixth patient to a hospital in Germantown, Maryland.
Security camera footage obtained by Operation Rescue shows an ambulance arriving at Germantown Reproductive Health Services in Germantown, Maryland at approximately 7:46 p.m. according to the video time-stamp. Seven minutes later, emergency responders are seen leaving the late-term abortion facility with the injured women on a gurney.
Carhart and his wife, Mary Lou, are also seen exiting the abortion facility and leaving the parking lot immediately after the ambulance.
As the Supreme Court is preparing to hear oral arguments on Texas’s abortion law, HB2, this story is a reminder of the need for commonsense abortion safety laws. The Texas bill includes a mandate that abortionists have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital. It’s a basic patient safety law that abortion advocates say is targeting them and hurting women.
This is the sixth medical emergency that has resulted in the hospitalization of a Carhart abortion patient since he began working in Maryland five years ago. One of those incidents resulted in the death of Jennifer Morbelli, who succumbed on Feburary 7, 2012, to complications of a 33-week abortion. Even though Carhart was unable to be contacted as Morbelli’s condition worsened, which fatally delayed emergency Carhart was never held accountable.
Carhart was also involved in the death of another late-term abortion patient, Christin Gilbert, a 19-year old Down syndrome teen who died from complications to a botched third trimester abortion on January 13, 2005.
When Carhart moved his late-term abortion business to Germantown, we predicted he would kill again, and that prediction came true. Now he has hospitalized two women within a month of each other and we do not know if either woman is alive or dead. Carhart is a dangerous abortionist that has maimed and killed enough. We urgently call on the Maryland Board of Physicians to step in and stop Carhart from practicing in Maryland before he kills again.
On Tuesday, the day this patient was sent to the emergency room, Operation Rescue says, “A witness on the scene has told Operation Rescue that on January 19, Carhart saw 21 patients. Seven of those were risky late-term abortion deliveries.” The pro-life organization added that the first patient to arrive that day did not leave until 11 hours later – in a ambulance.
Carhart is getting getting frequent looks at the inside of an ambulance these days; the last time he sent a patient to the emergency room was, as Newman stated, just last month.
Carhart’s abortion business is clearly dangerous for babies – sometimes viable babies he kills close to when they were ready to take their first breath outside the womb – as well as to mothers, who literally put their lives in his unsafe hands.

Vertcoin Network Suffers 300-Block Reorg Following 51% Attacks - Ethereum Inside, The latest Ethereum and Bitcoin news.
Vertcoin (VTC) is presently scuffling with a sequence of 51 % assaults and a variety of blockchain reorganizations. Based on lately printed information, the vertcoin chain has skilled over 22 reorgs and has misplaced greater than $100,000 because of the assaults, with the final reorg clocking in at over 300 blocks deep.
VTC was launched in January 2014 with a standard proof-of-work system, nevertheless it has since moved to an “ASIC-resistant” algorithm often called “Lyra2RE.” Again in 2015, the builders defined that they believed mining must be processed by consumer-grade to maintain issues decentralized. However now the Vertcoin community is underneath siege, following a variety of 51 % assaults on the protocol.
Based on a current evaluation written by Mark Nesbitt, a safety engineer at Coinbase, the Vertcoin chain has suffered 22 deep reorgs, with 15 of them together with double-spends. Moreover, one of many final reorgs was 307 blocks deep, inflicting important community points.
The primary incident started in October, when the chain skilled eight reorgs in complete, with three of them together with 71,243 VTC in double-spends. Double-spending is a flaw inside a blockchain community scheme by which the identical digital cash will be spent greater than as soon as.
A blockchain reorganization happens when a miner positive aspects extra hashrate than the remainder of the swimming pools and chooses to mine a earlier block with a purpose to create a brand new block historical past. A reorg will be secluded to an area shopper, but when the entire system depends on a single shopper, it could have an effect on all the community. Based on Nesbitt, the 300-block reorg value the Vertcoin system over $100,000 price of VTC.
One Vertcoin developer named “Gertjaap” argued on Reddit that the 51 % assaults weren’t occurring due to ASICs. Reasonably, the developer claimed that the difficulty stemmed from cloud-mining companies reminiscent of Nicehash.
“There’s an excessive amount of hashrate for hire at too low a value, leading to zero capex and low opex to do assaults,” Gertjaap detailed. Nonetheless, a moderator from the subreddit shortly fired again, claiming that whereas Nicehash could also be “facilitating the issue to a big extent,” issues about “an excessive amount of hashrate” have been nonetheless attributable to ASICs.
In his analysis paper, Nesbitt famous that VTC’s issues are much like current assaults on BTG, XVG and MONA. He said that there are actors who’ve the assets to execute such assaults on chains with totally different methods. “There are a lot of cryptocurrencies, together with many based mostly on Bitcoin, that implement their very own proof-of-work-based blockchains,” Nesbitt mentioned.
In his evaluation of the Vertcoin community, Nesbitt goes on to elucidate that cryptocurrency exchanges are an “very best goal” for 51 % assaults. Attackers can at all times make “a soon-to-be-reversed deposit and commerce for an additional asset,” he mentioned. This was definitely true with the current bitcoin gold (BTG) 51 % assault, after which the Seattle-based Bittrex change delisted BTG because of the losses. “Exchanges that help these property will proceed to undergo losses, with the last word end result that exchanges might be pressured to delist these property,” Nesbitt mentioned.

Allison, fortyish and divorced, is on vacation at the Blue Goose Lodge. The lake is lovely and serene, but there’s trouble at the lodge.
Instead of rest and recreation, she finds a murder. A touch of romance develops, and she enjoys playing detective until she nearly becomes the next victim.
Dinner was a somber affair. The children were bubbling over in excitement to tell of their afternoon in and on the water, but their enthusiasm didn’t touch the adults. Allison noted Charles seemed too distracted to listen, Teddy sullen, Imogene worried, and Derita bored. Catherine kept looking out the window like a prisoner planning an escape, and Bess seemed too tired to care.
It was obvious to Allison the future of the Blue Goose occupied their minds, but they didn’t want to discuss it, at least, not in front of their aunt.
“Looks like.” The old man again turned his eyes to the head of the table. “I knew Bess didn’t like the lake, but I never imagined she would desecrate it.” He turned back to face Allison. “She’s got to be stopped, you know.” He wiped his mouth and pushed back from the table. “Excuse me. I need to take a little walk. It was nice meeting you.” Before Allison could say anything else, Jake was gone. No one else appeared to notice his departure.
Helen Goodman is a registered nurse, a native of Michigan and now lives in North Carolina. She is the author of six published books and her short stories have appeared in two anthologies. The Valley of Death is the second in the Allison Aldridge Mystery Series.
Books are the carriers of civilization. ... Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself than this incessant business.

I hesitate to even call this a recipe. It is that easy. And in my house, even easier since the man mans the grill!
Remove stems from mushroom caps, clean and then brush with olive oil.
Grill until soft, turning a few times.
Have the mushrooms on the grill stem side up, add the tomato slices, 1 or 2 each and then put the cheese on top of that. Close the grill lid so the cheese melts.
I made this Keto Bread to go with it; it’s made with almond flour. I follow the recipe as is, except I use about 2 tablespoons coconut oil instead of butter. Also, oven temperature in Fahrenheit is 400.

Although a firm'ssenior managers are likely to develop strategies, policies and practices for the management of that firm'sliquidity risk, it is the responsibility of a firm'sgoverning body to approve those strategies, policies and practices as adequate. In determining the adequacy of those strategies, policies and practices, a firm'sgoverning body should have regard to that firm'sliquidity risk tolerance established in accordance with BIPRU 12.3.8R.
A firm must ensure that its governing body:(1) is aware of the composition, characteristics and degree of diversification of its assets and funding sources; and(2) regularly reviews its funding strategy in the light of any changes in the environment in which it operates.

(1) Each person on the non-directive friendly society'sgoverning body will be taken to have responsibility for its regulated activities, unless the firm has apportioned this responsibility to one particular individual to whom it is reasonable to give this responsibility.(2) The individual need not be a member of the governing body.

Have you been waiting for the perfect opportunity to buy an Amazon smart device? Well, the wait is over. Woot is selling Amazon products at a ridiculous discount.
Online retailers will usually sell refurbished devices at a moderate discount. Maybe $20 or $30, nothing too crazy. But right now, Woot is selling refurbished Amazon devices for more than 50 percent off, just in time for Valentine’s day.
An Amazon Echo for $25 is a complete steal, even if it is the older model. And an Echo Look for the price of a restaurant dinner ain’t too shabby either. Remember how it used to cost $200?
A lot of people haven’t heard of the Echo Connect, but it can be really helpful if you own a couple of Amazon Echos. Essentially, Echo Connect pairs your landline phone connection with all of your Alexa-compatible devices. $15 to gussy up your old landline? That’s a pretty good deal.
As with any good deal, this one won’t last forever. In fact, it’s going to end at midnight. Whether you’re trying to make your home a bit smarter or impress a Valentine, this may be your last chance to do it for cheap.
Battery packs are great for keeping your phone charged on the go, but what do you do when your battery pack runs out of juice? Well, if it was solar powered, then you could just set it in the sun.

Last summer we featured a portable reloading bench built on a Black & Decker Workmate. We’ve received many inquiries about this sturdy, efficient design, so we’re showing it again, in case you missed it the first time. this is a perfect do-it-yourself project that can be used at home or at the range.
Share the post "Portable Reloading Bench Built on B&D Workmate"
Whether you’re a High Power or F-Class shooter, or a varminter who shoots from the ground with bipod, you need a decent shooting mat for field use. A mat keeps you off dirty, rocky ground and provides cushioning for the “hard points” (knees, hips, elbow) when shooting prone. You can spend up to $150.00 for a top-quality shooting mat. Alternatively, for just twenty bucks, the MidwayUSA shooting mat will probably suffice. On sale this month for just $19.99, the 69″ long x 27″ wide shooting mat has padded sections for knees and elbows, and it rolls up into a 7″-diameter package with carry strap. The bottom is a non-skid, water-resistent material — a nice feature when you’re shooting off wet grass or damp ground. The pad also has corner grommets so it can be staked down on windy days.

My name is Áine Keane. I am 19 years old. I’m a student at Presentation Secondary School in Mitchelstown, Co. Cork. I am currently doing the Leaving Cert (2017). I took part in the Pope John Paul II Awards when I was in Transition year in 2015. (Note: The Pope John Paul II Award recognises young people’s commitment to faith and community, making young people visible in their church, community & society. See here: https://thepopejohnpauliiaward.com/).
To receive the Pope John Paul II Award you have to help out with the community and parish. For the community I helped out with the Cope Foundation in Mitchelstown. Cope Foundation is about helping adults with special needs. I went there every Friday and helped them walk out to the bus and put their seat belts on and we would head off in the bus for a day out.
I am also a junior Girl Guide leader and this also helped for the Pope John Paul II Award as being a Girl Guide is all about helping the community. I also helped out with the Mitchelstown Carmelite Lourdes Group when they went on pilgrimage to Lourdes. I was a volunteer helper, helping with the sick people of our community in Lourdes. We helped to push them in the wheelchairs to and from the Grotto.
For the parish side of the John Paul II Award, I volunteered to read the readings and Prayer of the Faithful at Mass. Also, I helped the Net Ministeries team with the choir for the Youth Mass on a Sunday evening. [Note: Net Ministeries is an organisation that works in schools and Parishes encouraging young people to love Jesus and embrace the life of the Church. Recently, Net Ministeries had an active presence in Mitchelstown parish].
I’m also a member of a local Youth 2000 prayer group that meets every Tuesday evening at 8pm in Mitchelsown town hall for prayer and a chat. Due to being a member of Youth 2000, I go to the major retreats and regional retreats, where we pray and make lot of friendships and hear testimonies and workshops [see www.youth2000.ie].
Whenever there was a school Mass, I’d volunteer to take part in the Prayer of the Faithful. I also visited Medjugorje. This year will be my 3rd time going there. I climbed Apparition Hill and I also climbed Cross Mountain barefoot up to the 12th station but then wore my shoes for the last two stations.
I helped out with a fundraiser when I was in Transition Year in school (2014-2015). We baked and had a coffee morning and we raised money for breast cancer awareness.
In October in 5th year (2015) I received the Pope John Paul II Gold Award and I decided to carry on and do the Papal Cross Award. For this award, the weekly work was longer but it was so enjoyable. In October in 6th year (2016) I then received the Papal Cross Award.
Every school year we have an awards ceremony and last week I received my second Nano Nagle Award which is for participating in the Pope John Paul II awards and for helping with the parish and community. [Note: The Nano Nagle Award is awarded to a person of exemplary community service, nominated by a Presentation Sister or a teacher in a Presentation school]. I absolutely loved it. From this award my self confidence and faith grew stronger. I was asked by the Carmelite Lourdes Group to give a speech about my experience in Lourdes.
In the Summer, I love to help with the Faith Camps for children. So far, I’ve helped with faith camps in Mitchelstown, Abbeyfeale and Ardmore. [See here: http://cloynediocese.ie/faith-camps/].
Upto a few years ago there would be no way say a prayer from the ambo of a church! I definitely recommend participating in the Pope John Paul II Awards as it makes young people more aware of their community and parish needs. The Pope John Paul II awards brought me back to the faith. It was the start of my faith journey.
For more information on how your parish or school may become involved in the Pope John Paul II Award, please contact the Cloyne Diocesan Youth Service team, details here.

We are honored to introduce you to a special young lady named Keegan. Keegan was diagnosed with Acute Lymphomic Leukemia (ALL) in October of 2013. Now almost two years into her treatment regimen, Keegan and her family have settled into their new “normal”, post diagnosis.
Keegan has started what doctors hope is the last stage of her treatment regimen, where her twelve week chemo cycles seem to allow for her to have 11 good weeks to one “bad” week, a welcome change after many months of complications.
With the help of her big loving family, Keegan has endured her journey with courage, grace, and hope. She is truly a gem and PAX is proud to make that big loving family a bit bigger as our Army of Love joins her in her fight.

Commissioned by Johnny (my late-father) for Linda (my mother) as a gift for her 50th Birthday. A Blue Sapphire to represent Johnny (because he only ever wore blue) and two diamonds for each of their daughters, Sarah (me) and Louise (my sister).
This ring, made as a gift, represents the first example of my ‘curly’ hand-forged rings. I thought I made this ring in 2004 but when I actually dated the piece I was shocked to find I had made it as early as 1997 (nearly 16 years ago!!) when I was at Royal College of Art. Little did I know then that this curled-form would be something that would become a staple as one of my main style ‘elements’.

My husband and I met Moti the same day we connected for a quote. He came by the house at a time that was convenient for us, and gave us a quote in person. He also gave us some tips in terms of paint colour and types of paint that would work best in the rooms.
He was able to arrange the paining for us in a couple of days, which was great because we were transitioning our baby to his own room and needed it to be ready quickly.
He and his staff were very professional and conscientious. They completed the work within a few hours, and they did a fantastic job! We were very happy with how the rooms turned out.
Moti was a pleasure to work with, we will be recommending him to friends and family, and will return to him for any of our additional painting needs.
Thank you Lee- Anne for choosing Keter Painting.
It was our pleasure to work with you and would be happy to serve you again in the future.
