YONKERS, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) – Ready or not, winter-like weather is here.
For homeowners, that means turning up the heat to stay warm. CBS2's Vanessa Murdock shares some tips to help you save money on your heating bill.
Being walloped by Old Man Winter in the middle of the fall left people feeling pretty cold Friday.
"I should have worn a coat or something," one man said.
"Not ready for this at all," a woman added.
As people stay inside and turn up the heat, it's time – or maybe past time – to winterize their homes.
Murdock met up with Bruno & Campisi for tips.
First thing's first, annual maintenance is a must. The pros clean heater and boiler systems to make sure they're running properly. They also check gas outputs, making sure carbon monoxide and other gases are safely removed.
What can you do to make sure you sleep warmly and safely right away?
"Fire it up and make sure it's working," "Make sure your batteries are changed in your carbon monoxide detectors, because that's going to be your first signal."
CO detectors should be near the unit and near bedrooms.
"If they fire up the unit and they smell any type of gas, shut it off right away, call us," he said.
PSEG suggests lowering your thermostat just one degree. It might save you three percent on that dreaded monthly bill.
Set the hot water heater to 120 degrees. Keep furniture and toys away from heaters.
Of course, heat escapes the house too, especially through fireplaces, windows and doors.
A fun way to find your biggest heat-sink is to download an infrared camera or thermal imager app. Use the camera to survey the exterior of your home and look for things that are glowing red, like an air conditioner — a sure-fire sign you're losing heat.
Seal those spots the best you can.
One final tip: Keep your fireplace flew closed when it's not in use to keep the warm air from escaping up the chimney.

A woman died of flesh-eating bacteria she contracted from Hurricane Harvey floodwaters.
Nancy Reed died on Sept. 15 after a tear in her skin resulted in a necrotizing faciitis infection, an autopsy report revealed. Necrotizing faciitis is popularly known as the flesh-eating disease. The disease infected the 77-year-old woman after she fell and broke her arm at her son's home, the Houston Chronicle reported.
Friends describe Reed as a force in her community, USA Today reported. Reed was a donor and volunteer at her church and worked with several nonprofit organizations, including Village Learning and Achievement Center, an educational center for adults and children with disabilities.
"God has gained an amazing angel," said Tina Tilea, administrative specialist at the center. "We're going to miss her."
"It was difficult to learn because we saw her a lot, very often, at all of our events," said the center's Development Manager Erica Badamo.
"It's tragic," said Dr. David Persse, director of emergency medical services for Houston. "This is one of the things we'd been worrying about once the flooding began, that something like this might occur. My heart goes out to the family."
Former firefighter and medic J.R. Atkins also contracted the flesh-eating bacteria when he headed out to check on people in his community during the flooding, NTD TV reported. He contracted the disease from infected water that got in through a mosquito bite. Due to his experience and knowledge, he was able to recognize the onset of the illness. He got appropriate treatment and survived.
The disease is extremely rare. It usually enters through a break in the skin. People in flood-affected areas have to be cautious due to debris in the floodwater that can open a wound. Treatment includes surgery and antibiotics.
Since 2010, about 700 to 1,100 new cases appear each year in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC describes initial symptoms to be aware of in recognizing necrotizing fasciitis.
"People with necrotizing fasciitis often start having symptoms within a few hours after an injury. The symptoms may seem like another illness or injury. For example, some people may complain of pain or soreness, similar to that of a 'pulled muscle.' The skin may be warm with red or purplish areas of swelling that spread rapidly. Some people get ulcers, blisters, or black spots on the skin. Patients often describe their pain as severe and hurting much more than they would expect based on how the wound looks," states the CDC.
There was one other reported death resulting from contaminated Hurricane Harvey storm water, but it was from sepsis. A 64-year-old man died from the infection after standing in floodwater.

Knowing the basics
What is peptic ulcer disease?
Peptic ulcer disease is an open sore on the lining of the stomach or duodenum (the upper portion of the small intestine). These lesions occur when the lining of the stomach and duodenum is punctured and the underlying tissue is exposed. Ulcers in the stomach are 4 times more common than in the duodenum.
Who is at risk of peptic ulcer disease?
Peptic ulcer is a very common disease and may occur at any age, but it's usually found among older people. You can limit the possibility of acquiring the disease by reducing its risk factors. Please consult a doctor for more information.
Identifying the symptoms
What are the signs and symptoms of peptic ulcer disease?
The most common symptom of peptic ulcers is a dull or burning pain, which is usually experienced in the upper middle part of the abdomen, above the belly button (navel) and below the breastbone. Also, pain caused by peptic ulcers may:
- Occur when the stomach is empty, such as between meals or at night
- Be relieved by eating certain foods or if you take acid-reducing medication
- Last from several minutes to a couple of hours
- Recur every few days, weeks or months
There are less common symptoms, which include:
- Flatulence
- Burping
- Feeling of discomfort in the stomach
- Appetite changes
- Vomiting
- Weight loss
There may be other symptoms which could show when you have peptic ulcers. Please consult a doctor if you experience any abnormalities.
When do you need to see a doctor?
Peptic ulcer disease can get worse if left untreated. Seek medical help if you experience any of the symptoms listed above, or severe symptoms as follows:
- Feeling faint
- Trouble breathing
- Vomiting / Vomiting blood, which may appear red or black
- Dark blood in stool, or stool that is black or tarry
- Sudden and persistent pain
Determining the causes
What causes peptic ulcer disease?
Common causes of peptic ulcers are:
- Helicobacter pylori infection
- Regular use of aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen
- Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (which causes overproduction of gastric acid)
- Tumors in the stomach, duodenum or spleen
Reducing the risk factors
What factors increase the risk of peptic ulcer disease?
You are at risk of developing peptic ulcers if you:
- Smoke: Smoking may increase the risk of peptic ulcers in people with H. pylori infection.
- Consume alcohol: Alcohol can irritate and erode the lining of the stomach and increase stomach acid.
You may still be at risk of peptic ulcers even though you do not experience any symptoms. The above information only serves as a reference. You should consult a doctor for more details.
Understanding the treatment
The information provided herein is not a substitute for any medical advice. Therefore, ALWAYS consult with your doctor for more information.
How is peptic ulcer disease treated?
The treatment goal is to heal the ulcers, thereby eliminating the symptoms of recurrence and avoiding complications. After treatment, a person should see improvement within 2 weeks. Recurrence may occur if the risk factors are not reduced.
The treatment method would depend on the cause of the ulcers.
The doctor may prescribe medications to reduce stomach acid, such as antacids, histamine H2-receptor antagonists (ranitidine, famotidine) or proton pump inhibitors (omeprazole). Sucralfate is another type of medicine that can form a protective film on an ulcer to help it heal. Antibiotics, proton pump inhibitors or bismuth can be used to treat H. pylori infections.
If the cause of your peptic ulcers is due to the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), your doctor may recommend:
- To stop using them
- Reducing the dose
- Using proton pump inhibitors or histamine receptor antagonists instead
- Switching to other medications that do not cause peptic ulcers
If the medications do not work, or serious complications occur, you may need to undergo surgery. However, at present, surgical intervention is not a popular option in peptic ulcers treatment.
How is peptic ulcer disease diagnosed?
To diagnose peptic ulcers, the doctor would ask for your medical history and perform a physical exam. Other certain tests may include:
- Blood test: to check for anemia, since severe peptic ulcers could cause heavy blood loss
- Stool analysis: to check for blood in the stool
- Endoscopic procedure (EGD), in which a flexible tube with a light and camera at its end, is inserted from the mouth and goes all the way to the stomach to examine the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and the upper portion of small intestine
- Barium enema: The doctor will take an x-ray after you have been given a contrast material called barium sulfate
Treating the condition through lifestyle changes & home remedies
Which living habits help to slow down the progression of peptic ulcer disease?
Here's what you need to keep in mind if you experience peptic ulcers:
- Avoid consumables that increase the risk of peptic ulcers such as aspirin, NSAIDs, smoking, and alcohol.
- Seek medical help if you experience diarrhea, vomiting blood or coffee-colored mucus, bloody or blackish stools, or if the treatment does not alleviate the pain and you still feel sick.
- Create a healthy diet with plenty of vegetables and whole grains, and pay attention to stress management to avoid aggravating any of the symptoms.
If you are concerned about any red flags with your health, please consult a doctor for advice on the best treatment.

The Federal Government has said that adequate provision has been made for farmers across the country to have enough fertilizer to grow food throughout the year.
The Chief Executive Officer, Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA), Mr Uche Orji, made this known in an interview in Abuja.
Last year fertiliser was sold as high as N14,000 a bag in the open market.
And now we are selling it for N5,500, that is 30 per cent below what the market was. The price is boldly written on the fertiliser bag so you can't be cheated.
We have the capacity to blend what the nation needs and this year, fertiliser will not be an excuse for farming in Nigeria.
Anybody who tries to sell it more than that, there is a whistleblower number and when you call, then, the National Security Adviser would be involved to investigate, he said.
Orji said that this year would be different from last year, because Nigeria now has the capacity to blend and produce fertiliser locally.
He said with the help of the NSIA, 12 out of the 28 existing fertiliser blending plants scattered across the country have been resuscitated.
He said the plan is to refurbish additional 6 blending plants by 2018.
Fertiliser has four components. There is Urea, phosphate, potassium and limestone. You mix it together and that gives you your fertiliser.
We used to import the whole thing completely blended. And there is a lot of physical labour involved in making fertiliser.
So what we did was to say we have 28 blending plants that were ideal. So the presidency said we should have a look and see how we can make fertiliser available to farmers on time and at a reasonable price.
So the only way we can do that is to look at how we can do that locally. Of the materials needed to make fertiliser, Urea is found in Nigeria as well as Limestones in Edo state, Sokoto and many parts of the country.
Those two components make up 65 per cent so instead of importing the whole thing, we import 35 per cent, ship it to the blending plants, blend it and sell to farmers, he said.
The NSIA boss said that Nigeria has an agreement with Morroco to buy Phosphate and the potassium is bought from European traders.
He said local production of fertiliser has helped to create thousands of jobs, revive the moribund government companies, and save foreign exchange for the country.
Orji said the Federal Government was targeting the production of 12 million bags this year.
He said, however, that transportation logistics remained a major problem.
He said they were taking advantage of the rail system where it works, in places like Kaduna and Bauchi to transport materials to the plants.
Orji said that the Nigeria Security Adviser was also a part of the programme to offer security for the materials as they were highly sensitive.
According to him, fertiliser is well known as a component for making some kind of bombs.

Spring digging is long done, the planting of our new liners is complete and we're on to pruning and maintaining our growing stock. Photos taken 11 Jun 2020.
Category Archives: News
Featured Native: Basswood (Tilia americana)
Tilia americana, the basswood or American linden, is a medium to large deciduous tree, often growing to 80 to 100 ft tall in the wild. It is native to east-central North America, from southern Manitoba and Minnesota south to Missouri, the eastward to the Atlantic Piedmont and northward to the Canadian Maritimes. In its native range, basswood can be found in a variety of habitats, from stream valleys to rocky uplands, but it is most happy in fertile, moist lowlands in slightly alkaline soil. Pyramidal in youth, given space and room to grow, it typically develops an upright oval crown surrounding a tall single leader. Unlike many native trees, the American linden tends to retain lower branches as it matures, with those lower branches sweeping towards the ground then upward at the canopy's edge. Also unlike many natives, it has a good tolerance for partial shade.
In the landscape, T. americana typically tops out at 40-60 feet with a spread of 35-45 feet. It features 4-8" long-deep green heart-shaped leaves that typically turn a pale yellow in autumn. Late spring produces an abundance of 2-3" clusters of tiny pale-yellow flowers. These flowers are extremely fragrant and a favorite of bees, so much that the tree itself can appear to buzz from the mass of bees feeding on the flower nectar. The resultant linden honey is valued for its unique flavor. The flowers are followed by small grey nutlets which persist into early winter and are a favorite food of songbirds and squirrels. The bark is greenish-grey in color on young stems, turning medium-grey and becoming ridged and furrowed with age. It is a good choice in a larger landscape, especially when given space for its roots to spread. It is especially valuable for shade, as the leaf density of T. americana typically produces some of the densest shade of any native tree. Adequate root space helps basswood to resist leaf scorch, which can affect exposed trees in hot, windy weather. Tight planting spaces between sidewalk and street can often stress the tree, making it more susceptible to leaf scorch. Aside from leaf scorch under stress, American linden is fairly resistant to pests; the leaves are a favored food of the Japanese beetle (Popillia japonica), however, which can be unsightly during times of high beetle populations.,
The wood of T. americana is pale brown; often almost white and occasionally tinged with faint reddish streaks. It is close-grained yet light; these characteristics made it useful for the manufacture of boxes and baskets and also for guitar-making. It is also a favorite of woodcarvers due to its resistance to splitting. The inner bark of basswood is stringy and fibrous and was used by Native Americans and early European settlers for rope-making. Tea made from the leaves was also used as an anti-inflammatory and a mild sedative.
White House Natives supplies Tilia americana in 2"and 2½" caliper. If you need a large tree that produces great shade, it is an excellent choice!

WHN in the Landscape; 4 May 2020
White House Natives [WHN] was chosen to supply several hundred two-inch caliper native trees for this project in the heart of Fairfax County, Virginia. Species included: Acer rubrum, Carpinus caroliniana, Chionanthus virginicus, Fagus grandifolia, Liriodendron tulipifera, Magnolia virginiana, Platanus occidentalis, and Quercus bicolor. These trees have been integrated into a buffer planting and reforestation along an asphalt walking trail that connects to the Fairfax County park system trails. We are proud to help provide native trees for this community and to support habitat for wildlife in this urban environment.
Breaking Bud 2020, pt 2 of 2
Now more than ever, spring is a good time to appreciate the little things like trees breaking bud and leafing out. All the hard work from the extensive hand-pruning last winter is now taking center stage and our trees are exploding with new growth in an array of colors, shapes and textures. Photos taken 5 Apr 2020.
Featured Native: Bottlebrush Buckeye (Æsculus parviflora)
For April, we are featuring an under-used performer for the shrub border or high-canopied shady areas, the bottlebrush buckeye, Æsculus parviflora. One of eight species of buckeye native to North America, it occupies a relatively small native range from the Savannah River west across central Georgia and Alabama and south to the Florida panhandle, but easily adapts to cooler climates as far north as Chicago and Portland, Maine.
In its native mid-south, Æ. parviflora form dense stands along bluffs and ravines and in high-shaded forests. Typically maturing at 8 to 12 feet in height, it tends to slowly spread laterally by suckering so that a single individual may cover 25 feet in width at maturity. In the landscape, the coarse texture and smooth light grey bark make an excellent backdrop for smaller shrubs and perennials. Like most buckeyes, leaves emerge from large buds relatively late in the season; the large, palmate leaves with 5 to 7 leaflets usually provide a dense dark-green cover to the shrub from the ground up. The showy white flowers, peppered with red anthers, are produced in cylindrical bottlebrush-like spires up to a foot long in early summer when few other plants are in flower. The foliage usually turns a clear butter yellow in early autumn. Unlike in its native range, Æ. parviflora rarely sets fruit in the landscape.
As a landscape plant, bottlebrush buckeye is low-maintenance. Pruning is rarely required and although suckering, the shrub spreads slowly so that unwanted new shoots can be easily removed. It has no significant pests, although it can suffer from leaf scorch in prolonged periods of hot, dry weather. It prefers a moist, well-drained soil in full sun, but is also very tolerant of light shade and can perform well in drier situations if regularly watered for the first few years while becoming established.
Like their closest relatives, the maples (Acer); buckeyes contain saponins in their leaves and fruit. Saponins are defensive compounds that impart a bitter taste thus discouraging browsing. They are also especially toxic to cold-blooded vertebrates; native Americans used the ground buckeye fruits and other saponin-containing plants to stun fish in ponds and other stagnant bodies of water. Buckeye fruits (so-called because they are shiny brown with a yellowish attachment scar, much like a deer's eye) were also commonly used in tanning leather.
White House Natives supplies Æsculus parviflora in sizes from 3 ft to 6 ft. It is a deserving native that can be a welcome addition to the shrub border.

Google Tests Relevant History Feature in Mobile SERP
Search juggernaut appears to be testing a new drop-down section 'relevant history' for search results in mobile. The section would be in drop down format and will appear at the very top of the mobile search results.
Google Tests Relevant History Feature
The section will be showing page history directly related to the search that you previously visited.
Look at the screenshot attached. You will see all sites that the searcher had visited previously. The interesting thing to note with the feature is that it won't show any description with those results. All that it will show are the title, URL and any relevance thumbnail if available.
This is another way Google is showcasing personalized results to the searchers. It becomes even more important since it aims at mobile search query where limited screen space available to display the results. The feature is being tested with a select group of people.
We haven't any clue when it will be available for a global roll out. Google neither confirmed nor declined the news.
Stay tuned for more updates on its availability for all the users.

I love television. Much like Jacqui, I love nothing more than to turn on something silly, something insane, something yummy, something interesting, something crazy, something nostalgic, something intriguing and stop moving for a little while. Because my day is a little nutty. And sometimes, you just want to sit.
What they don't tell you, is when you have children you lose control over the screens in your house. You lose the ability to watch whatever you want whenever you want. Apparently, there are certain things that are inappropriate for children to watch. WHO KNEW?
This of course means that you get to watch awesome children's programming…and by awesome, I mean "awesome".
Now don't get me wrong. There are some absolute wonders, like the Pixar movies, or my childhood favourite that is still running today, Sesame Street, but there are others that MAKE MY BRAIN BLEED. No, seriously.
Here are some of my least favourites that my girls LOVE (so far Isaac doesn't have an opinion…THANK GOODNESS):
I don't know which is worse – Caillou's whiny voice, or his parents' ridiculousness. Sure, Caillou is four and sure, he's got a rough time of it with parents who never change their clothes and are creepily nice and sweet all the time, and sure, his sister Rosie can be a bit of a pain, but please. For the love of goodness. PLEASE. Stop whining. Just…stop. I seriously think a voice actor change would make all the difference in the world.
This show is nonsense. Not to say that other shows are grounded in solid reality (Oh, hi Octonauts, weird sea creatures that aren't to scale!), but this show kind of takes the cake. There's this royal family, with an absent dad (he's on a crusade…you know, the super kid-friendly kind?), a neglectful mother (she's NEVER paying attention to her kids…EVER), a boy-knight who terrorizes the town with his dragons and arrogance, and a sister-witch-in-training who is mega smart and deserves her own show. If it weren't annoying, it would still drive me batty. Poor people of Glendragon.
If we can get past the ridiculous bodies and make up and name, it might not be such a bad idea to have a strong girl group hanging out together…except, they aren't. They're catty and vapid and rude and ignorant and…dumb. And the whole show is a big fight between themselves and another group of girls. It's girl-on-girl crime, which is just awful. There's enough female-competition in the world. We don't need to teach it to our daughters at a young age. This show is actually not allowed in my house anymore. It's pretty much the only one I really put my foot down about.
It's easy to hate on this show. There is the nagging, Type-A older sister Ruby who won't let her little brother have any fun. There is the weirdly one-word-at-a-time 3-year old Max, who just keeps repeating the same word over and over and over and over (get a sentence!). And there is the famous mystery: where the heck are their parents? Max and Ruby are a favourite for Lillian…but for me, I wish they'd go back to the bunny hole. Pronto.
And my absolute least favourite of ALL TIME:
Toopy is a dimwitted mouse who is full of himself. Binoo is a mute sidekick that is inevitably smarter than Toopy. Patchy-Patch is Binoo's lovie. And that's it. That's the show. Then there's annoying friends, like the wailing dragon princess whose cries sound like fingernails on a chalkboard, the unending adulation Toopy has for himself, and Binoo's lack of backbone (at this point, I'm grateful for lack of voice). But…
…the girls love them. LOVE them. I don't know why. The songs are ridiculous. The premise is ridiculous. The education value is nil at best. The annoyance level is high. And yet…they love it.
So this weekend when we were invited to a birthday party where THE voice of Toopy and Binoo, Frank Meschkuleit, would perform a Toopy and Binoo puppet show LIVE…we knew the girls would explode with happiness. And we were right. Frank was awesome, the show was brilliant (he called out every child's name and made jokes for the adults in the audience, including a fart joke about Ben…no, seriously…), and Sophie and Lillian LOVED it. Sophie thought it was hilarious and awesome and Lillian kept looking back at us to make sure we were seeing what she was seeing. I'm fairly sure her brain exploded a few times.
I'm just grateful that Isaac was more excited about the diaper bag strap than Toopy and Binoo. I can still get away with watching The Social while he's cruising around the floor.

Inquest into deaths of seven men at Camber Sands beach, including three from Welling and Erith, expected to conclude today
PUBLISHED: 09:46 30 June 2017
Seven men died last year
A coroner is expected to record conclusions on Friday into the deaths of seven men, including five young friends, who drowned at a popular south coast beach last summer.
Tragedy struck as Mohit Dupar, 36, tried to reach Brazilian Gustavo Silva Da Cruz, 19, as he got into difficulty at Camber Sands, near Rye, East Sussex, last July 24 - but both died.
Then a month later, five young friends aged 18 to 27, three of whom were from Bexley and were of Sri Lankan origin, drowned at the same beach after being seen playing volleyball in the sea on August 24 last year.
Nine deaths have occurred at Camber in the four years from 2012 - including the seven last summer.
Lifeguards were not deployed until after the five deaths last August, despite recommendations from the RNLI to do so three years earlier.
Dr Anthony Leonard, executive director at Rother District Council, said the authority's decision in 2013 was balanced against other factors known at the time and that, with statutory obligations to fund, it did not have a "bottomless pit" of money.
A five-day inquest in Hastings heard the five men were all fit, healthy and competent swimmers when they died on a sunny day last August - but beneath the surface at Camber Sands lurked "hidden dangers".
Although rip currents were not a known problem, Camber did have sandbars that could catch people out if the tide came in rapidly, sometimes causing people to wade through water to reach shore, the inquest heard.
Beach-goer Stephen Deacon told how he felt "unnerved" by the underwater sea conditions on the day the five friends drowned at the beach, which can attract more than 25,000 visitors in peak season.
The five friends who died last August 24 were Kenugen Saththiyanathan, 18, known as Ken, and his brother Kobikanthan Saththiyanathan, 22, known as Kobi, both of Normandy Way, Erith, south-east London, and their friends Nitharsan Ravi, 22, of Admaston Road, Plumstead, south-east London, Inthushan Sriskantharasa, 23, of Chadwell Road, Grays, Essex, and Gurushanth Srithavarajah, 27, of Elsa Road, Welling, south-east London.
The inquest into the death of Mr Dupar and Mr Da Cruz was adjourned until the start of the inquest into the five deaths.
East Sussex senior coroner Alan Craze is also due to record conclusions into their deaths.

Bell Gully Partner Liz Coats and Solicitor Charlotte Joy discuss the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment's release of its prescribed Active Choice Form as part of changes to the Employment Relations Act 2000 (ERA) which came into force this week, Monday, 6 May.
It is a new requirement for employers to issue employees with an "Active Choice Form" for new employees who are not union members but whose work is covered by a collective employment agreement (CEA) (affected employees). The Active Choice Form is prescribed by the Chief Executive of MBIE, and all employers will have to use this form for affected employees.
Employers now have access to the prescribed Active Choice Form, as well as guidance regarding how to use the Active Choice Form.
How to use the Active Choice Form
In summary, within 10 days of commencing employment, employers must provide new affected employees with the Active Choice Form for them to complete. The form seeks information from the affected employee about whether they intend to join the union that is a party to the CEA that covers the affected employee's role. The form does not need to be provided to employees who are already employed by the business and have transferred to a new role that falls within the CEA coverage.
It is optional for affected employees to complete and return the Active Choice Form to their employer.
However, in all cases, an employer must pass on information to the relevant union(s):
- If employee returns the form and wants to join a union – the form must be provided to the union(s) (by the employer).
- If employee returns the form and does not want to join a union – the form must be provided to the union(s) (by the employer) unless the employee has ticked the box stating that they do not want the form to be passed onto the union.
- If employee does not return the form – the employer must provide the name of the employee to the union(s) and inform them that the employee did not complete and return the form.
In all instances, the employer must provide the relevant information to the union(s) within 10 days of the completion of the new affected employee's first 30 days of employment.
Potential consequences for employers
If an employer does not provide new affected employees with the Active Choice Form, or does not provide the applicable information to relevant union(s) after the first 30 days of employment, the employer may be liable for a financial penalty of up to $10,000 for an individual and $20,000 for a company.
Practically, this may be quite onerous for employers. Employers should ensure that they have an internal system which ensures that it complies with its obligations and timings.
Key timings
Key timings are as follows:
- Day 1 to 10 – the Active Choice Form must be provided to new affected employees.
- Day 1 to 30 – the affected employee must consider whether to fill out the form and return it to their employer.
- Day 30 to 40 – the employer must provide information to the union(s).

Consumers trust banks slightly more today than they did a year ago, according to the Trust Monitor for Banks for 2017. General trust in the sector increased from 2.8 in 2016 to 2.9 in 2017, on a scale of 1 to 5. The Dutch Banking Association (NVB) commissioned German research institute GfK to conduct a survey of 23,000 consumers. This is the third time the Trust Monitor for Banks has been published.
Banks use the results of the annual Trust Monitor to define a number of areas for improvement. This year the focus will be on working more proactively: banks will let their clients know that a change in their lives - such as a divorce or a new job - could affect which product is best for them. Banks will also be more transparent about the components of financial products and about their role in society.
More mobile
Consumers rate banks' online services extremely positively (4.3 in 2017). A notable development is that fewer clients make use of internet banking, and more are using mobile banking: this percentage rose from 46% in 2015 to 57% in 2017. Consumers rate banks' professionalism slightly higher, with the score rising from 3.7 in 2016 to 3.8 in 2017. Banks score well on complaints and feedback management (4.2), according to the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM). This is the first time that the supervisory authority has rated complaints and feedback management.
Work to be done
Chris Buijink, Chairman of the Dutch Banking Association: "I am pleased with the upward trend, but there's still plenty of work to be done, especially in terms of transparency - we have to do even better. For instance, during panel discussions, consumers stated that they want to know what's going on with their savings, they expect full transparency about their banking affairs and they appreciate proactive advice."
Trust in general
This year, too, consumers indicated that they trust their own bank more than they trust the sector as a whole. But the difference is smaller: the score for trust in their own bank equalled that of last year (3.2), while trust in the sector rose to 2.9. A large majority of respondents are 'neutral' regarding trust in the banking sector: 57% have neither a lot nor a little trust in the sector. In addition, 17% of the consumers surveyed have a lot of trust in the banking sector and 25% have little trust. This outcome is comparable with research conducted by parties such as the Dutch TV show Nieuwsuur and Edelman (Trust Barometer), published earlier this year.
'Transparency' gets a 'satisfactory'
Consumers give banks a 'satisfactory' when it comes to transparency. This year's Trust Monitor for Banks included more in-depth questions on transparency, the aspect that has the biggest influence on trust in banks. At the same time, consumers say transparency is at the top of their list for banks looking to improve their reputation.
Recommendations of Advisory Council
The independent Advisory Council, which has given recommendations since the Trust Monitor was first held, advises banks to think carefully about their personal interaction with clients. "Personal contact makes clients feel like they have a relationship with their bank rather than being just a number." Consumers still think that banks could be more client-oriented. The Advisory Council says banks need to continuously devote attention to proactively helping clients with their financial affairs.
AFM opinion of clients' interests
In addition to the Gfk consumer survey, the Trust Monitor for Banks includes the opinion of the Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) on the extent to which banks put clients' interests first. The score for mortgages decreased from 3.8 in 2016 to 3.7 in 2017, also on a scale of 1 to 5. The AFM urges banks to work harder for homeowners whose mortgages might become problematic for them in the future. The score for investment also went down, from 3.8 in 2016 to 3.7 in 2017. The AFM's score for how banks handle payment arrears was 2.8, an improvement on the score in 2015 (2.2). The score for lending declined from 3.0 in 2016 to 2.4 in 2017. The AFM notes that not all parties correctly apply the VFN (Dutch Finance Houses' Association)/NVB lending norms when the loan commences. The AFM sees that market-wide steps have been taken to reduce the number of (virtually) interest-only loans. The AFM has called on banks to further reduce the number of interest-only loans (consumer credit) and to better coach clients with payment arrears.

Pallet wood used mostly in shipping and transportation, despite of this wooden pallet furniture ideas help you to convert it into different goods which are well suited in your home decor.
Pulling apart elements of your wooden pallets, you may be able to create a genuine staircase at home. It is much less costly than purchasing hardwood floor panels, might look marvelous and professional. Glue or pin single panels from your wooden pallets in a way that will cover the entire staircase.
By using pallets to build a hamper holder, you can store your laundry in a solid container that gives your laundry room a hardcore retro look.
Don't just mount that big, new TV on the wall. You can make a place for it with some painted pallets, so it becomes a focal point. Not only does it hang there, but, as usual, you can use the space around to sort memories, such as cards you receive for Christmas or photos pinned to the pallets.
Creating a bed for a kitty does not really require building, just making it more comfortable for your pet to jump in. Cats are known for their excellent flexible skills; however, our precious puppies might have some trouble with getting to bed, so cut one panel on one side, which would serve as the door.
Now, this is something we certainly would call mission in real life. A great example of passion, dedication, patience, and enthusiasm all at once.
This task is also dedicated to storage, in this particular case it is destined for veggies and fruits. The draws have labels that you attach to the panels at the finish line of the project. We are grateful for the convenient description of which wooden pallets to use. The pallets need to be deconstructed, so minor handy work is required.
Fill the gaps in your wooden pallet… in fact, however you wish to do so, it will be distinctive. After all, it is a writing desk made out of wooden pallet. The fantastic thing about this idea is the space underneath that you may store whatever you wish: the cables we hate so much, pens, pencils, notebooks, research guides.

The Philippine military said Islamist militants who had holed up in a primary school in the south early on Wednesday had retreated after a gunbattle with troops but were holding some civilians hostage.
There was no word of casualties in the incident at Pigcawayan town, which is about 190 km (120 miles) south of Marawi City, where fighting between government troops and pro-Islamic State militants has entered its fifth week.
No students were taken hostage at the school, said Brigadier General Restituto Padilla, discounting reports that some children were being held. He said the militants had retreated from the school and troops were chasing them.
Another military spokesman, Captain Arvin Encinas, said the militants, who call themselves the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF), were holding some civilians hostage, but he was not sure how many.
"Definitely, they are holding hostages, that's why our soldiers are having difficulty because they are using them as human shields," Encinas said.
Police said about 300 armed men stormed the school early on Wednesday. Encinas, however, said later only 30 militants were involved.
Abu Misry Mama, a spokesman for the BIFF, told Reuters that the militants had taken civilians to a place safe, away from any crossfire, and did not intend to hold them hostage.
Asked if they would be freed, Mama said: "Yes. We're not kidnappers."
Padilla said the incident at Pigcawayan was not related to the fighting in Marawi. "This has come from a group that has long committed harassments," he said.

Jay Cutler in Bane Mask, From The Dark Knight Rises
Discussion of The Dark Knight Rises movie has been all over our message board. While going on and on about how awesome the movie was, I began to realize just how awesome Bane, the major villian, from the movie is.
Being that we're on the internet, I suddenly got an idea. What if I photoshopped the Bane Mask….on none other than Jay Cutler. So here we are. Check out this glorious wonder that photoshop regurgitated onto the internet.
In the process, I also threw together a quick bane mask template for others who wish to do similar photoshops. Crappy photoshop job? Yes. However, it's much less noticeable when you photoshop it on a quarterback with a lazer rocket for an arm.
Also for your viewing pleasure…..we have this for you as well….
This picture is very relevant. If you were expecting anything besides Cutler in a Bane Mask, you are seriously mistaken.
While we have your attention, please take a minute and swing by our Message Boards to discuss Chicago Sports with many other fans. https://chicitysports.com/forum

Can childhood experiences have an impact on health in adulthood?
- 9 Months ago
- 969
- 5.0
Have you ever wondered that your childhood experiences can lead to health problems in adulthood?
Yes! You got that right! Childhood abuse or adverse childhood experiences can have an impact on your health as you grow into an adult. The long-term effects of childhood abuse can be understood in a health psychology framework describing the behavioural, social, cognitive and emotional pathways.
Behavioural pathways are the best known of the four pathways. A very famous study called the ACE study revealed that there is a powerful relation between a person's emotional experiences as a child and adult emotional health, physical health, and major causes of mortality in the United States. The time factors in the study make it clear that time does not heal some of the adverse experiences which were common in the childhoods of a large population of middle-aged, middle-class Americans. One doesn't "just get over" some things.
For instance, having adequate sleep is essential for good health. Although it is not"behaviour", it has a strong behavioural component. It has been found that adult survivors of childhood abuse often have trouble sleeping. Evidence from a study on German-speaking sexual abuse survivors indicated that 68% of the subjects had sleep difficulties, with 45% reporting repetitive nightmares. Other problems that fall under the behavioural pathway are obesity & eating disorders, suicide, and substance abuse, risky sexual behaviour, smoking and illicit drugs.
Social pathways on the other hand indicate the ability to form social relationships and are essential for the wellbeing of humans. Maintaining positive social connections is also affected by the past abuse. Adult survivors often are in relationships that are victimizing. For example, the divorce rate is higher due to general dissatisfaction with their present relationships. Such relationship difficulties could be related to interpersonal style. Adult survivors are likely to adopt one of the two interpersonal styles; avoidant or intrusive. Both these styles are dysfunctional and are likely to result in loneliness.
Childhood sexual abuse survivors are also at an increased risk for revictimization. Findings from a study by Fergusson indicated that women with a very high rate of child sexual abuse were likely to have been raped or domestically abused. Health is affected by revictimization through injury and potential death from each victimizing encounter. It also increases the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases as well as chronic stress. Chronic stress further leads to indulging in harmful activities such as smoking and substance abuse.
Cognitive pathways include the beliefs and attitudes such as health perceptions which can have a substantial impact on health. For example, perceived general health has been associated negatively with childhood abuse.
Lastly, Emotional pathways demonstrate potential life-threatening significance of negative emotions. Childhood abuse is common and has been associated with a plethora of psychological and somatic symptoms along with medical and psychiatric diagnoses including anxiety disorder, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, chronic pain syndrome, irritable bowel, and chronic fatigue syndrome.
As it can be seen that "health" depends on a very complex combination of behaviours, emotions, social connections and thoughts. All of these ultimately influence health and these pathways for each individual.

Queen Sirikit of Thailand is recuperating in hospital after being diagnosed with the flu. The Royal Household Bureau made the announcement just after midnight on Monday.
The 86-year-old queen mother was admitted on Sunday to Chulalongkorn Hospital in Bangkok with a high fever and a frequent cough after her doctors advised her to undergo a medical check. Medical lab tests showed that the Queen had influenza.
She was treated with medication, and the Household said that her condition is improving. Her Majesty is fully alert and eating well. Additionally, her cough is less frequent, and her fever has subsided. Doctors have advised that Her Majesty recover in hospital.
The widow of King Rama IX has had health issues in the past including a stroke in 2012. Since then, she has refrained from many public duties.
She recently celebrated her 86th birthday on 12 August. The day, "Mother's Day", is a national holiday in Thailand. Images were released by the Royal Household Bureau on her birthday showing her children, King Rama X and Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, visiting her at Chitralada Palace in the Thai capital.
Queen Sirikit is the mother of Thailand's reigning monarch, King Maha Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkun (or Rama X) who took the throne after the death of his father, King Bhumibol Adulyadej (or Rama IX) in 2016. King Rama IX had reigned for seven decades, and his death was met with widespread mourning across the nation.
She was born on 12 August 1932 and married King Rama IX on 28 April 1950. They had four children: Princess Ubolratana, King Rama X, Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, and Princess Chulabhorn.

UPP Studios is a Los Angeles based production company created by Adam C. Lively and David M. Goldman, who both write, direct, and act in a number of their videos. The duo founded UPP Studios in 2015, which now publishes an original new media comedy sketch every Monday.
Most recently, UPP Studios created a video portraying the paranoia associated with cannabis, one of the worst parts of smoking the drug. In the sketch, two cannabis consumers hide in their car smoking cannabis, but they see a man on the sidewalk who they assume is a cop. The man actually isn't a cop, but rather another cannabis consumer trying to smoke when he experiences paranoia after he sees the two guys in their car. Their fear of each other continues to build as they question whether they should smoke, so all three men ultimately choose to run and drive away in the other direction. Paranoia can ruin your marijuana experience, so be sure you know all the laws before trying to smoke in your car or on a public sidewalk, because otherwise you paranoia will meet up with someone else's marijuana paranoia.

H.H. Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, expressed in a letter to Indian Minister for External Affairs Dr. Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, his condolences over the passing of his predecessor, former Minister for External Affairs of India Sushma Swaraj.
"Former External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj's record of compassionate diplomacy represents the legacy by which she will be remembered for generations to come. Known for her humane approach to public service, Swaraj was an effective stateswoman and cherished partner to the UAE.
We recall with fondness her first official visit to Abu Dhabi in November 2014 as a significant step forward in reviewing the brotherly relations between our two countries and advancing cooperation on the political, economic, and cultural fronts. Her passing is a profound loss to both nations."
H.H. Sheikh Abdullah also communicated his sympathies to the former minister's family members and colleagues.

Nidhi Nishant has been working toward conclusion of her Ph.D. (anticipated at the end of 2017) on aerosol effects on tropical convection. Her paper "A Cloud-Resolving Model Study of Aerosol-Cloud Correlation in a Pristine Maritime Environment" came out in Geophysical Research Letters in June of this year, examining a highly publicised case of apparent aerosol-limited convective growth in the south Pacific. She found that cloud variations that had been ascribed to aerosol could actually be explained meteorologically using the WRF model, and that wind variations were simultaneously increasing aerosol and cloud amounts, producing a misleading correlation. Other work of hers has discovered a new indirect aerosol radiative forcing mechanism involving deep-convective adjustment; a paper on this is just being submitted.
Another UNSW student Maxime Colin has been using a cloud-resolving model to explore the inertia of convection associated with small-scale structures unresolved by global atmosphere models. He finds that there is modest inertia when convection is disorganised, associated with cold pools, but much more inertia when it is organised. This inertia is not considered in most convective schemes, which diagnose convection from the instantaneous resolved state. Maxime presented this work recently at the WCRP workshop on the Future of Cumulus Parameterisation in the Netherlands, and visited CoE partner institution IPSL in Paris where he plans to receive a joint Ph.D.
Former University of Melbourne honours student Andrew Brown has recently had his paper on satellite estimates of the sea breeze near Darwin accepted in the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society (QJRMS). As has been demonstrated by a number of prior ARCCSS studies the tropical sea and land breezes play a critically important role in the diurnal cycle of rainfall in the maritime continent, especially offshore. Measurements of the sea / land breeze system (SLBS) offshore are difficult to obtain, and Andrew used satellite derived scatterometer wind measurements to examine the composite structure of the SLBS off the coast of Darwin. He also examined how the SLBS varies with phase of the monsoon and compared the observations with high-resolution simulations from WRF and ACCESS. He found that the model predictions of the SLBS compared well to observations, implying that the difficulties models have reproducing the diurnal cycle are likely not related to the representation of the SLBS.
Another former Melbourne student Dr Rachel Badlan (now a postdoc at ADFA/UNSW Canberra) has recently had her paper on convective momentum transport (CMT) accepted in QJRMS. In this study she used idealised simulations of organised convection to examine the fundamental processes governing CMT and the assumptions underlying its parameterisation. Among other things she demonstrated that current parameterisations are unable to represent CMT by organised systems realistically because many of the underlying assumptions are only valid for disorganised systems.
In terms of convection parameterisation development, Benjamin Moebis finished coupling a stochastic multi cloud model (SMCM) to the new Icosahedral non-Hydrostatic General Circulation Model (ICON), which is jointly developed by the German Weather Service (DWD) and the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology. The new stochastic modeling approach represents multiple cloud types and updrafts per climate model grid cell and timestep.
Also, Martin Bergemann developed a modeling framework to represent the occurrence of coastal clouds and rainfall in the tropics within numerical weather prediction and global climate models. The new approach first develops a decision algorithm, or trigger function, for the existence of coastal convection. The function is then applied in the above-mentioned SMCM to increase the occurrence probability of deep convection when land-sea interactions are diagnosed to be important. Martin's work has recently been submitted to the Journal of Advances in Modelling Earth Systems.
Two new research fellows, Bethan White and Malcolm King (former University of Melbourne PhD student), have recently joined the group at Monash University. Bethan is working on identifying and quantifying relationships between convective organisation and precipitation extremes in Australia. Malcolm is looking at changes in precipitation behavior in the western Indian Ocean.
Finally, there was a good showing of current and former ARCCSS staff and visitors at the recent American Meteorological Society 17th biennial conference on Mesoscale Processes held in San Diego, CA USA.
Abhnil Prasad presented his work on constraining WRF simulations of convective environments using observations. Todd Lane gave an invited keynote on turbulence caused by organised convection. Recent ARCCSS student visitors Thibaut Dauhut (CNRS, France) and Leah Grant (Colorado State University, USA) presented their research (conducted while visiting ARCCSS) on simulating tropical convection. Former ARCCSS postdoc Karsten Peters (now at MPI Germany) and AI Mitch Moncrieff (NCAR) were also at the meeting, which gave us the opportunity to reconnect and have many fruitful discussions.

It is a known fact that anything and everything even remotely connected to any God or major religious figure is venerated by followers. Of course, not all such objects can be authenticated and some of them have even been proved to be false. However, there is no doubt that these relics still remain pillars of faith in those who believe in them. Here are some historical relics considered sacred by Catholics.
The Crown of Thorns

The Crown of Thorns is alleged to be the crown worn by Jesus Christ during his crucifixion. With over seventy original thorns and several travels taking it from one place to another, the crown now permanently resides in Paris. Although it has never been proven legitimate, the crown is venerated by millions of Christians around the world.
The Shroud of Turin
Image Source : C8.Nrostatic.Com
Supposedly one of the most controversial religious relics in Christian history, the Shroud of Turin is allegedly the burial cloth of Jesus Christ and is said to bear the image of Jesus himself. The shroud is deeply acknowledged as a symbol of Christianity in the Catholic World and has been kept at the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Turin. Even though radiocarbon tests have questioned the authenticity of the shroud, believers are undeterred from venerating it.
The True Cross
The cross is a powerful symbol of Christianity in the Catholic world. It represents the importance of the original cross on which Jesus Christ was crucified. Historical reports suggest that after the demolition of the Church built over the crucifixion site, three crosses were uncovered. The hundred or so wood pieces related to these three crosses spread far and wide and are considered as pieces of the True Cross.
The Sudarium of Oviedo

The Cathedral of San Salvador in Spain is home to the Sudarium of Ovideo, a piece of bloody cloth that was supposedly wrapped around Jesus Christ's head in his burial ground. The cloth is kept carefully preserved and is shown to the public only thrice a year. It is considered a highly important religious relic although its authenticity has still not been established.
The Holy Grail
Image Source : Smashinglists.Com
The Holy Grail has been the subject of discussion in many Hollywood movies, including Indiana Jones, Monty Python and even the controversial Da Vinci Code. Over the years, the relic has undergone different transformations, thanks to the myriad stories behind it. It remains the subject of inventive storytelling to this day.
Religious relics are always considered important for staunch believers. These relics tend to be venerated by millions who practice the religion even if they remain unauthenticated to this day.

President Maceo George called the November 25, 2014 meeting of the University Park Civic Association (UPCA) to order at 6:30 p.m. All stood for the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag.
President George reported that minutes from the October UPCA meeting were not available this evening but would be presented at the December meeting. Laurel Conderman has volunteered to take minutes for tonight's meeting.
President George reported on the following:
- Nomination Committee – UPCA Bylaws state a Nomination Committee comprised of one to three members needs to be chosen to propose a slate of officers for 2015. The proposed slate would include nominations for President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary and Sergeant of Arms for presentation at the December, 2014 UPCA meeting followed by an election at the January, 2015 UPCA meeting. Nominations would be open to the floor during the January UPCA meeting prior to the vote.
He reported that the Bylaws state should there be more than one candidate for any of the positions, a secret ballot needs to be held for the vote.
- Future meeting speaker/meeting space – Maceo reported he ould contact Councilman Clay Yarborough about attending a future UPCA meeting. Maceo noted the December UPCA meeting is scheduled for December 23rd as that was the only evening available at the University Park Library Conference Room. He reported great difficulty in getting space at the Library for our meetings. The January UPCA meeting is scheduled for January 20th, 2015.
- Neighborhood activities –
University Park Library 10th anniversary celebration had been very successful with close to 200 people attending.
Neighborhood work day – The October 11, 2014 UPCA work day was held with around 10 hard-working volunteers making the gates look nice and pretty.
UPCA Community Garage Sale – The fall UPCA garage sale had been held. Shirley George noted that garage sale advertisements had been placed in three different areas. President George noted that planning for 2015 activities would be on the agenda and open for discussion at the February UPCA meeting.
Patriotic holidays – A community member displays the American flag at the front gates for all patriotic holidays and he anticipated this had been done for the November 11th – Veterans' Day.
Front Gate Holiday decorations – Laurel Conderman reported that she and Ricki Shoraka were going to take a look at last year's decorations to determine their usefulness. Laurel made a motion to be allowed to spend up to $100 for decorations for the gates. The motion was seconded and passed.
Vice President Shirley George reported on the following:
- Since neither Laurel Conderman nor Shirley were available to attend the last Community Planning Advisory Committee, she would check with Paul Davis about any information to be shared with the neighborhood from the November CPAC meeting.
- Arlington Aglow Holiday Parade planning by Old Arlington Inc. was on hold until the 2015 holiday season. This would allow for more time for planning and greater participation by Jacksonville University. Shirley noted that at a previous CPAC meeting, JU had requested approval for beer and wine sales at their campus River House. There was discussion about possibly holding future UPCA meetings at River House. Eddie Christian had previously worked at JU and would investigate this possibility but the University Park Library would still be considered the preferred location for UPCA meetings.
- Vice President Shirley George will make a sign for posting at the Library Conference Room door to assist those coming to the UPCA meeting.
- Mayor Alvin Brown's Holiday Festival for Seniors at the Prime Osborn Convention Center is scheduled for December 7th, 2014. She and Maceo reported having attended this in the past and that it was a nice event with dancing, door prizes and lots of fun. The cost is $5 with tickets needing to be purchased prior to the event from either the Singleton Senior Center, 150 East 1st Street or City Hall, Suite 210. Shirley said she would be getting some tickets for herself but could purchase tickets for others if they contacted her for this help.
President George asked Treasurer Earl Kelly for the Treasurer's report. Mr. Kelly noted there had been little activity other than paying JEA, taxes and reimbursements for the fall work day. The checking account had a balance of $7,461.17 with $17,000 still in a CD. He clarified that the CD funds are held in reserve should the UPCA need them for a future legal matter. He noted the need to increase UPCA membership in 2015. There was general discussion about the UPCA ownership of the buffer property in back of the Darlow Street homes to ensure that the property remains vacant. There was a motion and seconded to accept the Treasurer's report as presented. The motion was passed.
Discussion: Shirley George extended the organizations thanks to Loretta Cunningham for her assistance in providing the refreshments for this evening's meeting. A flyer will be prepared for distribution about the UPCA meeting that Councilman Yarborough will be attending to ensure good attendance along with encouragement to become an association member.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:20 p.m. The next meeting is scheduled for December 23, 2014, 6:30 p.m. at the University Park Library.
Respectfully submitted,
Laurel Conder

This past Tuesday, February 3rd, the North Springs Spartans basketball team, took on their biggest rival, the Riverwood Raiders to conclude their regular season. The girl's varsity team played at 5:30 PM, while the boys played at 7:00 PM. Unfortunately, the turnout for both games was not what the Spartans wanted, but they still fought very hard.
Julia Rosenthal, a 10th grader, went to the game and said, "I always love going to the North Springs basketball games, and I especially love going to the games against Riverwood. The Riverwood and North Springs games are always so fun and loud and spirited! I love going out and supporting my Spartans."
The atmosphere and crowd at the game was so alive and vivid that you could feel the tremors of the bleachers. The crowd was loud and cheerful and represented their respective teams.
Boys and girls Varsity basketball team will be starting regionals this upcoming Friday the 6th. They will be competing against Cast High School at Creek View High School.
