Mega billionaire Warren Buffet once called derivatives "financial weapons of mass destruction." Apparently, Buffet has failed to heed his own advice to avoid them.
Warren Buffett's company posted an 8 per cent drop in third-quarter net income as the value of its derivatives portfolio fell sharply, but BNSF railroad and Berkshire Hathaway's (BRK.A-N125,560.001,080.000.87%) many other operating companies performed well...
The biggest factor in the decline was a $95-million loss on Berkshire's derivatives, some of which are tied to equity markets and credit defaults. A year ago, those derivatives were worth $1.1-billion.
Buffet is riding a real 'fail' train lately. He endorsed Barack Oabama for president and last year he endorsed President Obama's failed economic plan.

Advice: how to write a successful NSF preliminary proposalSubmitted by drupaladmin on 5 January 2012.
The NSF branch that funds ecology & evolution now requires preliminary proposals, and the deadline is fast approaching. Here is some very good advice, from an experienced NSF panelist, on how to write a good preliminary proposal.
Even if you're not writing an NSF preliminary proposal you should read the linked advice, because it includes some very interesting discussion of where good research ideas come from (protip: read a lot, and read very broadly).

if asked what I thought the answer to life was…
"Each day You have to live your life with your voice playing over and over in your head… picture your new fav movie…
its not Written yet..
its not Recorded yet…
But you hear the narration voice Going on….
you let go.. you follow it … your on a ride…
Everything will always work out. Your choices are the prime Location of where your heart ends up placing your mind
These old bodies we carry are just this time around… its our minds… we travel .. we move freely… we create Worlds in which we can fly… we live forever… We understand and know everything perfectly.
Think of the world as a place where if tomorrow you were gone.. what would people say about you?
What would your legacy be?
would your words that you created in your time spent here be enough to butterFly effect someone else's world even when your gone?
Could you be the final Block in the bridge of someones world that enables them to cross a river of thoughts?
only then will you know that you have reached the highest point in this life.
Don't let anything stop you from being where you want to be.
There is nothing at all that can not be done with out a little effort or without choices.
You have what it takes.
You just need to break that fourth wall.

HECHT Raw Material Handling and Containment Solutions for the Pharmaceutical Sector
HECHT manufactures bulk material handling and containment machines for the pharmaceutical industry.
The company's modular systems fulfil tasks throughout drug production, including pneumatic and mechanical conveying, dosing, sampling and continuous manufacturing (CMT).
Designed to be efficient, flexible and safe, the HECHT systems can be customised to meet client requirements.
Standalone production machinery for pharmaceutical plants
HECHT's product handling solutions are developed in close collaboration with the pharmaceutical industry. Its solutions range from single-use isolators for contamination-free dosing, sampling and weighing, to continuous liners for filling storage containers.
The company's machinery safely fills, discharges, doses and conveys materials ranging up to occupational exposure band (OEB) level five. This is suitable for pharmaceutical processing, where substances can be valuable in high concentrations but may endanger operator health.
The products meet US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines and are compatible with clean-in-place (CIP), wash-in-place (WIP) and dry-in-place (DIP) methods.
Material handling and discharging solutions for bulk solids
HECHT designs filling stations to discharge and store pharmaceutical solids in flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBC) such as super sacks, bags, drums, containers and cartons. These solutions meet the containment and hygienic storage requirements of medical clients.
The company encapsulates hazardous substances to increase operator safety. Its primary containment systems feature liners, gloveboxes and butterfly valves to prevent the movement of dust and powders into the working environment. The company's secondary containment products include cleanrooms, locks and pressure stages, which provide additional protection.
HECHT's systems have been designed to the Standardised Measurement of Particulate Airborne Concentration (SMEPAC).
Dosing and weighing units for pharmaceutical powders
HECHT provides accurate dosing and weighing machines for bulk material handling. The compact system is optimised for product protection, simple-to-handle and discharges without leaving any residue.
The company's vibrating dosing valve offers smooth discharge of bulk solids. A smooth flow rate is ensured as the vibrations allow the powders to flow freely without sticking or clumping. The machine has a high-performance output and simple regulation for consistent product flow.
Plant engineering services for optimised drug manufacturing
HECHT's engineers design and optimise plant engineering projects, from initial phase to final assembly and commissioning.
The company's state-of-the-art solutions are custom-built, comprising coordination and dispatch of spare parts, as well as on-site support. HECHT delivers ready-to-use comprehensive systems that are cost-effective and high-value.
Products and Services
Drum Discharger CFE-K (Drum Dump Station)
The HECHT Containment Drum Discharger CFE-K with tipper device is used for low-contamination discharging of drums with inner liner up to OEB5. By means of the tipper, the drum can be easily mounted to the station.
Vacuum Conveyor PCC
With the ProClean Conveyor (PCC), HECHT developed an extremely flexible and reliable conveying system.
FIBC Discharging
Connection Systems are the core component for a safe FIBC discharging process. Depending on the product, operating location and containment requirement, HECHT has developed different systems.
Bin Filling Stations
Bin Filling Stations normally consist of various components. The heart of every system is the filling head. Depending on the application, a filling head for individual filling of single sacks or liners can be integrated or a filling head with continuous liner can be connected.
Drum Discharger CFE-L (with Suction Lance)
HECHT's Containment Drum Discharger with lance type CFE-L is used for contamination-free discharging of drums with an inner liner up to OEB 5.
Handling Bulk Solids with High-Containment Requirements
If you handle bulk solids with high-containment requirements and would like to make production process fast and safe, the EASY product family by HECHT is perfect for you.
Big Bag Connection System LAS-EC
Big Bag Connection System LAS-EC by the technological leader HECHT technologie provides a solution offering safe handling with a logical operating sequence with only a few steps.
White Papers
Discharging Drums for Loss-in-Weight Systems
In the case of loss-in-weight systems, the operator takes the drum via the roller conveyor directly underneath the glove box. The drum is positioned by means of the lifting device.
Discharging Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBC)
Flexible intermediate bulk container (FIBC) discharge stations by HECHT are used in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries.
HECHT Sampling Solutions for High-Quality Pharmaceuticals
It is a key topic within any kind of industry and branch to maintain constant and steady product quality.
Sack Discharge Stations for Separation Applications
Sack Discharge Stations are easy to operate and require hardly any training.
Pneumatic Conveying for Granules and Powders
The HECHT ProClean Conveyor (PCC) is intended for the safe and gentle conveying of powders and granules in the pharmaceutical, chemical and food industry. Its special filter head improves your efficiency and other various possibilities for a more flexible configuration of your system.

Psychologist Guy Winch has written a lot about rejection: 2013 book Emotional First Aid, Salon (2013), Psychology Today (2013), TED Ideas (2015). One quote from Salon says it all: "Rejections can cause four distinct psychological wounds: (1) rejections elicit emotional pain so sharp it affects our thinking, (2) floods us with anger, (3) erodes our confidence and self-esteem, and (4) destabilizes our fundamental feeling of belonging". Note: markings and numbering are mine.
Rejection often starts in our early childhood. I still remember being picked almost last during team selections at school sports. Often a teacher had to allocate the remaining people amongst the various teams. Sometimes a team even tried to publicly prevent such allocation through pleas to the teacher. It was very clear who was popular and who wasn't.
My continued dislike for - and rejection of - soccer also roots in my childhood years. My parents made me join a local soccer team, against my wishes and pleas. Their counter argument was that my father had been good at soccer. Seriously?? I was lousy at nearly any sport and successful in learning. Probably, I compensated the hurt over sport by taking pride in achieving high grades in class. It worked for me.
The rejections I experienced in my childhood years never haunted me in my future. I was lucky. I have noticed that a perceived lack of parental love during childhood has a devastating impact in years to come. Such rejection may never heal as the child's perception is often very different from their parents' reality. Discussion is "complicated" and closure might be impossible.
My deep hurt over rejection happened most of my married life. Discussion was meaningless. I became an expert (by experience) in reverse psychology and projection, without even realising it. My mind is still raising yellow or red flags whenever new episodes in my current life remind me of those hurtful years. Those scars run deep.
Perceived rejection is all around us: from our children. parents and siblings to former lovers, friends and co-workers. I use the word perceived deliberately. The other side may not realise that we feel rejected. Would they know then they may even belittle our feelings and may not alter their behaviour. Hence, it's often too painful to address rejection.
The benefit of writing this blog is that I now think, feel and believe that a sense of rejection is causing my periodic mood swings. Rejection may also be the tipping point in my rollercoaster of solitude and loneliness, apart from being a tipping point on the thin line of love and hate. Rejection is far more present and far more important than I ever assumed.

Recently I bought some crochet supplies online. There were so many pretty thread colours I had a hard time choosing. Cerulean blue, warm grey, cream white, rose pink, oh the variety! I finally decided on a green and a purple, telling myself that I'd get more if I was satisfied with the product.
I also purchased a crochet needle set.
So, with great zeal, I picked out a few good tutorials on youtube and proceeded to crochet. My first attempt came out like this:
I wasn't very satisfied with the result. You can't make out the pattern in some places and it's a little disproportioned.
The next day I decided to make a different item, a 'Granny Square'.
This one turned out much better, in my opinion. The pattern's more distinct and it stayed flat. This was attributed mainly to having relaxed my hold on the thread.
All in all, I found crochet an entertaining experience! You can even listen to music or podcasts while making your coaster or phone pouch. I plan to take on a more challenging project next time I crochet; this intricate centrepiece (tutorial by Jeego Crochet).
Here are a few Youtubers I'd recommend with great tutorials:
▪Bella Coco
▪The Crochet Crowd
▪Meladora's Creations for Crochet
▪Jeego Crochet
Well that's all for now, blog another time!

While some people may only know the town of Mahwah because of a glancing mention in the Bruce Springsteen song "Johnny 99," the city has had a long and distinguished history.
Some know it for its parklands, some for the historic Ford plant, and sports fans remember it for 25 years of great tennis matches at the A&P Classic, which served as a warm-up for the U.S. Open.
The Leni Lenape Indians called it Mawewi, but the name Mahwah is said to refer to the place where fields and streams meet. The area was originally formed as Hohokus Township on April 9, 1849 and was incorporated in 1944.
The Township of Mahwah is a 26.7-square-mile suburban community situated to take advantage of the natural beauty of the Ramapo Mountains and the Ramapo River on its northwestern border. Mahwah is a natural route northward from New York City (a mere 30 miles away), has easy access to air and rail transportation, and is bordered by the towns of Upper Saddle River, Ramsey, Allendale, Wyckoff, Franklin Lakes, Oakland and Ringwood, New Jersey, and Suffern in New York.
"Mahwah is unique in that it is quite spacious," says Mayor Richard J. Martel. "The tax rate is excellent, the schools are very good. The Ramapo Montains give you a lot of opportunities for hiking, biking, skiing in the winters. It's everything you could want."

The Workers'
Getting injured at work is nobody's idea of fun.When the worst
the reason for this misunderstanding, you should have an attorney look over your policy to ensure you are receiving
Comp System Isn't Always Fair
happens, you'd like to think your employer would have a policy in place that's designed to benefit you. Unfortunately, that is not how our workers' compensation system is set up. Because your employer has to defer to their insurance provider and that provider will do what's best for their bottom line, employees often get shortchanged.That's why legal representation
all the benefits available to you.
Another common problem is employees discussing their claim with an insurance representative without realizing that the representative has a vested interest in denying their claim. It's important to know that these conversations
can be crucial for your workers' comp claim.
For smaller claims, like those concerning simple injuries from which you'll make a full recovery, you probably don't need to hire an attorney. These cases are usually just a matter of covering a small amount of missed work and rarely run up against denials from the insurance company. You may need to have an informal hearing in front of the South Carolina Workers' Compensation Commission (WCC), but it will be a straightforward affair. Usually, it's just a matter of making sure you are compensated for whatever period of work you miss. More serious injuries involve more serious claims. These are the claims that incentivize the insurance company to make every effort to win through attrition. Most employers opt for the lowest-premium option for workers' comp insurance. That may be a decision based on abstract economics, but it can have a real impact on workers. The math is pretty simple. The only way a company can charge lower premiums is by denying claims or paying out as little as possible. If you don't have an expert looking out for your best interests, it's easy to get shortchanged. I want to be clear; I don't think this process is the result of purposefully nefarious actions by evil people. Nobody is out there taking joy in duping injured workers — at least, I hope not. What it comes down to is an interconnected system that puts workers at the bottom of the totem pole. It's an attorney's job to make sure your voice is heard. We've seen all sorts of underhanded tactics deployed in service of minimizing the value of claims. An employee may be told they aren't eligible for certain benefits when in fact they are. That might be the result of a manager who doesn't understand the nuances of a compensation policy or a green insurance rep who doesn't have the full picture. Whatever
are not with a neutral party. You are under no obligation to speak with an insurance rep in this manner. Instead, you should seek out the advice of an attorney before you accidentally harm your claim by saying the wrong thing. The relationship between doctors and insurance companies can create a conflict of interest in regard to workers' comp claims. The doctors covered under your insurance policy work directly with your provider. As a result of this relationship, doctors may err on the side of an overly tentative diagnosis. Again, I don't think doctors are intentionally acting in bad faith. They are just predisposed to deliver a report that matches what the insurance company believes. To help remedy this, we work with a number of doctors who can objectively assess your condition and present their findings to the WCC.
Do I wish the workers' compensation system were set up to better serve workers? Of course. Am I holding my breath for that day to arrive? Definitely not. Whether I like it or not, it's on the employees to prove the validity of their workers' comp claim. Luckily, an attorney can help you do just that. –Jim Snell

Talent Cheat Sheets for Arcane Mage
While optimizing talents on a contextual basis is the highly recommended method of setting up your build, the talent builds listed below work great for specific purposes.
Single Target
- Level 15: Rule of Threes
- Level 30: Shimmer
- Level 45: Rune of Power
- Level 60: Charged Up
- Level 75: Chrono Shift
- Level 90: Touch of the Magi
- Level 100: Overpowered

For General Use
This build is an excellent starting point for questing and general purpose usage.
- Level 15: Rule of Threes
- Level 30: Shimmer
- Level 45: Incanter's Flow
- Level 60: Charged Up
- Level 75: Chrono Shift
- Level 90: Touch of the Magi
- Level 100: Overpowered
Tier 1 (Level 15) Talents for Arcane Mage
|✘ Amplification
|✔ Rule of Threes
|✔ Arcane Familiar
Tier 1 talents offer a minor boost to sustained damage.
- Amplification makes Arcane Missiles do more damage by shooting an extra missile when used with Clearcasting.
- Rule of Threes makes your next Arcane Blast or Arcane Missiles free after getting a third Arcane Charge. You will also get this effect if you instantly go to 4 Arcane Charges, via the use of, for example, Charged Up or Arcane Orb.
- Arcane Familiar lets you summon a pet that does minor damage to enemies, and increases your maximum Mana by 10%.
Rule of Threes is the best single-target choice. It is also the best choice on most AoE situations. It being the best on AoE may seem counterintuitive at first, since there is no direct component to Rule of Threes that boosts its AoE damage, however, after reaching 3 Arcane Charges, you can cast 1 Arcane Blast for free, which allows you to get more Arcane Barrages out.
Arcane Familiar is the best choice on very heavy AoE (10+ targets).
Tier 2 (Level 30) Talents for Arcane Mage
|✘ Mana Shield
|✔ Shimmer
|✔ Slipstream
Tier 2 talents offer a boost in mobility and defensive utility.
- Mana Shield grants Prismatic Barrier no cooldown, but your Mana is drained by 20% of the damage it absorbs.
- Shimmer replaces your Blink ability. It functions exactly the same as Blink, except it is off the Global Cooldown, is a 20-second cooldown instead of 15, does not interrupt spellcasting, and it does not break stuns. This spell has 2 charges.
- Slipstream allows Arcane Missiles and Evocation to be channeled while moving.
This talent tier is largely a matter of preference between Shimmer and Slipstream. Slipstream guarantees that Evocation cannot be cancelled by movement, and improves the caster's ability to reposition while channeling Arcane Missiles. Shimmer greatly improves mobility, and by extension, survivability. This tier is largely a matter of preference between these 2 talents and the ideal choice almost certainly varies by encounter. Slipstream is recommended on fights where you can plan your movement ahead of time, whereas Shimmer is recommended on fights where you have to react to sudden mechanics. It is also worth noting that Shimmer has 2 charges, as opposed to Blink's single charge.
Tier 3 (Level 45) Talents for Arcane Mage
|✔ Incanter's Flow
|✘ Mirror Image
|✔ Rune of Power
Tier 3 talents are focused on providing the player a consistent damage increase.
- Incanter's Flow increases your damage between 4% and 20%, cycling every 10 seconds.
- Mirror Image creates 3 copies of yourself which damage enemies and last 40 seconds.
- Rune of Power places a small zone which increases the damage you do by 40% for 10 seconds. This ability has a 40-second cooldown, with 2 charges.
Rune of Power is the best theoretical DPS choice for any amount of targets. However, Incanter's Flow is very close, and Rune of Power is quite restrictive, so it may not be practical for all encounters. Below, we have listed some reasons which may cause you to not pick Rune of Power, but instead go with Incanter's Flow:
- There are raid mechanics which you can not plan for in advance that may cause you to have to move out of your Rune of Power.
- There is a lot of movement required on the fight in general.
- It is also worth noting that Rune of Power is a lot harder to play with than Incanter's Flow, so it should not be used when you are not very comfortable with the spec and fight.
Mirror Image is not used.
Tier 4 (Level 60) Talents for Arcane Mage
|? Resonance
|✔ Charged Up
|✘ Supernova
Tier 4 talents are focused on providing unique damage utility.
- Resonance empowers Arcane Barrage to deal 10% extra damage for each additional target struck.
- Charged Up instantly grants 4 Arcane Charges
- Supernova gives you a new spell that deals low damage that cleaves everything within 8 yards of the target, and knocks them in the air.
Charged Up is the best option for single target.
Resonance is the best option cleave/AoE.
Supernova is a mostly a crowd-control option, if you need to improve your control in dungeons via the knock up effect.
Tier 5 (Level 75) Talents for Arcane Mage
|✔ Chrono Shift
|✘ Ice Ward
|? Ring of Frost
Tier 5 talents focus primarily on providing utility.
- Chrono Shift causes Arcane Barrage to slow enemies by 50% and increase your movement speed by 50% for 8 sec.
- Ice Ward gives Frost Nova 2 charges.
- Ring of Frost places a ring that can freeze up to 10 targets for 10 seconds at the targeted location, broken by damage.
Chrono Shift is the only talent with a benefit for raiding and Mythic+.
Tier 6 (Level 90) Talents for Arcane Mage
|? Reverberate
|✔ Touch of the Magi
|? Nether Tempest
Tier 6 talents add extra cleave and sustained damage options to your kit.
- Reverberate gives Arcane Explosion a chance to generate an additional Arcane Charge, as long as it hits at least 3 targets.
- Touch of the Magi gives Arcane Blast a 10% chance to apply a debuff, which stores 15% of the damage you do to that target for 8 seconds, and then after 8 seconds, deals the built up damage to the target and all nearby enemies.
- Nether Tempest can be applied to one target, and deals damage over time to the target and all other targets within 10-yards.
Touch of the Magi is the best single target option.
Reverberate is the best option for cleave/AoE as long as you can be in melee range to cast Arcane Explosion. Otherwise Nether Tempest should be used in cleave/AoE situations. Nether Tempest is also quite close to Touch of the Magi on single-target, so it is a good choice on hybrid fights.
Tier 7 (Level 100) Talents for Arcane Mage
|✔ Overpowered
|✔ Time Anomaly
|? Arcane Orb
Tier 7 talents boost your damage greatly.
- Overpowered causes Arcane Power to now increase damage by 60% and reduce Mana costs by 60%.
- Time Anomaly has 3 random procs that can appear at any given
time, even when you are not in combat.
- Firstly, there is a chance to get Arcane Power.
- The second random proc is a chance to give you 1 second of Evocation, which regenerates a decent portion of Mana. This can occur even when you already are at a 100% Mana.
- The third effect is a chance to get 4 Arcane Charges. This can occur even if you already have Arcane Charges. If you have Rule of Threes talented, and you get the 4 Arcane Charges proc from Time Anomaly, you will also get Rule of Threes, as long as you have less than 3 Arcane Charges when the proc occurs.
- Arcane Orb travels in a line and deals AoE damage to everything it hits. It generates 1 Arcane Charge on cast and 1 every time it deals damage.
Overpowered is the best single-target DPS option.
Time Anomaly is not very far behind on single-target, so if you enjoy the talent a lot, it will not be a huge DPS-loss to pick it.
Arcane Orb is the best option for AoE / cleave.
PvP Talents (War Mode)
In Battle for Azeroth, there will be the option to enable "War Mode". Enabling War Mode grants the following benefits:
- PvP talents enabled in the outdoor world.
- 10% increase in World Quest rewards at max level.
- 10% more experience gained while leveling.
- Earn Conquest Points which can reward gear every week.
With the benefits of enabling War Mode for leveling and PvE content, it is recommended to enable the feature to maximize your leveling and rewards at max level. However, doing so will enable PvP combat, and the possibility of being attacked by members of the opposite faction while leveling or doing World Quests exists.
Arcane Mage War Mode Talents
In this section we will rank the War Mode talents for leveling and outdoor content.
Conflict and Strife is an Essence giving you the PvP talent Temporal Shield. Although this PvP talent is very nice, the other Essences are better to use in outdoor content, since those will speed up killing enemies a lot.
- Temporal Shield is off the Global Cooldown, so it can be used without sacrificing any damage, and is very strong for when you know damage is incoming. You can simply tank the damage and heal back to full Health when the shield ends.
- Master of Escape allows you to use Greater Invisibility very often. This can be very useful for quests that require you to pick up certain items, as Greater Invisibility allows you to drop combat and quickly mount up after looting the required item, without having to kill off any enemies you have have aggrod while getting to the item.
- Mass Invisibility is good for the same reasons as Master of Escape is.

THE BANGKO SENTRAL ng Pilipinas (BSP) is tightening its watch on real estate loans from rural banks as part of a lookout for bubbles forming in the sector.
The new rules under Circular 976, issued on Oct. 10, also clarified that lending for public infrastructure projects is not covered by the 20% real estate exposure cap set by the regulator.
"The Monetary Board, in its Resolution No. 1617 dated 22 September 2017, approved the amendments to the Expanded Report on Real Estate Exposure of Banks, and the submission of the Report on Project Finance Exposure to gather more granular information regarding these exposures which are useful inputs in arriving at a comprehensive assessment of the quality of bank loans and vulnerability of banks on risks arising from these exposures," the circular read.
Banks have to report, starting next year's second quarter, details of real estate loans for mid- and high-end housing units, as well as socialized and low-cost housing. Data on commercial real estate loans in terms of specific structures being financed — like residential units, office buildings, malls and factories — should also be included in the regular reports.
There will be "a pilot run" of the new reporting requirements in the first quarter, the circular read.
Rural banks that are subsidiaries of universal, commercial and thrift lenders also have to submit expanded reports on real estate exposure starting March 31.
These measures add to the existing regulatory framework governing real estate exposure of banks that includes a cap on real estate loans equivalent to 20% of total loan portfolio net of interbank loans, as well as real estate stress test limits, which assume a 25% write-off of outstanding property debts.
In the same circular, the BSP clarified that lending for construction, rehabilitation and improvement of highways, streets, bridges, railways, transport systems, ports, power plants "and other infrastructure projects that are intended for public use" are not included in computing a bank's exposure to real estate.
However, banks are required to submit regular reports on project finance exposure on solo and bank group terms.
"[T]he new ruling by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas targets two sectors where vulnerabilities could form amid strong loan growth," Fitch Ratings had said in a Sept. 27 note, referring to results of the BSP Monetary Board's Sept. 21 meeting during which the additional reporting requirements were approved.
"Closer central bank scrutiny may make banks more cautious in lending to these sectors, but it does not amount to regulatory tightening to curb growth."
The BSP has been monitoring the property market in the wake of the 1997 and 2008 financial crises, when mortgage delinquencies triggered a global recession following a correction in housing prices abroad. — M. L. T. Lopez

Thoughts on the Shattenkirk injury and the flurry of roster moves
This morning sure was exciting, wasn't it? There was a flurry of activity for the Rangers as they prepare for their west coast trip. The first, and the most troubling, is the news that Kevin Shattenkirk will have knee surgery for a torn meniscus, and will be out indefinitely. Justin noted the timetable for this is somewhere between 4-12 weeks.
In response, the Rangers recalled Tony DeAngelo from Hartford. They also recalled center Daniel Catenacci from Hartford. The last roster move was assigning Lias Andersson to Hartford, instead of returning him to Frolunda in the SHL. Lots of stuff, so let's dive right into it.
I'm going to save Shattenkirk's injury for the end, because I have lots of thoughts. But let's start with DeAngelo. First things first: About time. He had a really rough start to his Rangers career, but has turned it on lately. By all accounts he's been much better since roughly December, and it's shown on the ice too. It makes sense that the Blueshirts would replace Shatty with DeAngelo, since DeAngelo is the only guy who can pretend to mimic Shatty's production.
As for Catenacci. I have no idea. I guess people are banged up?
Assigning Andersson to Hartford was the next logical step. They are preparing him for a potential recall to fill the center depth. He played through a separated shoulder in the World Juniors, so it looks like that has healed.
Now for Shatty….
The Rangers just don't learn their lessons, ever. They allowed Dan Girardi to play through a fractured knee cap a few years ago, and he was atrocious. That came after AV said he'd rest him more. Now Shatty has had a torn meniscus since September and the Rangers did nothing about it. They gave him some pain shots.
First, this is as much on Shatty as it is on the organization. Playing hockey on one leg is downright silly. The shots are worse, since they increase scarring and make the surgery more invasive. But the Blueshirts organization, who knew he was playing through pain, never got this checked? Or they did, and let him play half a season?
And Alain Vigneault, who said that Shatty was a "work in progress" a few weeks ago. If he knew about the knee injury and still said it, then shame on him. If he didn't know, then ignorance is bliss, I guess? This is another bad look for an organization that has made a lot of questionable calls with their players recently.
On a side note, if the Rangers were wondering if they should sell at the deadline, the Shatty injury solidifies that they should. They are down a top line forward and a top pairing defenseman with almost zero depth to handle the losses.

by Jenny Wall, Spiritual Director
Retreat in the context of the Christian spiritual life is taking time apart for the purpose of being with God and giving God our full attention.
Many are interested and even long for such an experience but don't think they have time to go on retreat. Taking time away from work, family, and other responsibilities to spend time with God is counter-cultural.
When is it time for a retreat? Ruth Haley Barton, in her book Invitation to Retreat identifies times in life to take a retreat as the following:
- When withdrawal, as in a military sense, is necessary due to wounds sustained in the battle of life. On retreat one can give God time to tend to wounds, rest, pray and get a better view of what is going on to be able to go forward in new ways.
- Those who serve God's kingdom in some official or unofficial capacity are on the front lines of spiritual battles. Perhaps the battle seems different from what it used to be and temptations are mounting. Withdrawal to notice where our lives are in danger so we can regain strength for our spiritual life and ministry is needed when this is the case.
- When one is filled with weariness that can't be shaken. Being dangerously tired is a sign that rest is critical or it can become a more serious problem for the mind, body or soul. On retreat one can rest with God and replenish both physical and spiritual strength.
- When one has a decision to make and needs time to discern God's voice in the matter.
Someone once said they go on regular personal spiritual retreats because "I think God likes it when I do." Whether you identify with any of the reasons above or you simply sense a desire to spend unhurried time with God, you are invited to experience a personal retreat.
I organize retreats periodically and host them at Abiding Place in Eureka, Kansas. I am also available to lead retreats for small groups. If you are interested in being contacted when we have a retreat scheduled or in discussing a retreat for your group, please indicate so by sending an email to email@example.com
If you aren't sure yet whether a retreat is for you, consider that Jesus himself often left the crowds or went away with his disciples to pray and rest. An example is found in Mark 6:30-32 (NIV);
30 The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. 31 Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest."
32 So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place.
Will you say yes to the invitation to retreat?

Pronunciation is the most important and difficult problem that non-native English speakers have to face when studying English. Improper pronunciation can lead to negative impression, misunderstanding and ineffective communication. This article is written to show you some negative impacts of poor pronunciation and to provide you with some tips for the improvement.
Negative impression
When you talk to people in the real life, your pronunciation is the first thing they notice during a conversation. In everyday communication, you usually do not have to use many complicated words, so your limited vocabulary is not a big issue since you can use more simple words to express the word that you do not know. In fact, they will notice right away if your pronunciation is good or bad only the first few simple words. If you have a poor pronunciation with very strong foreign accent, they will think of you as a bad English speaker and your good vocabulary and grammar cannot help you.
Knowing a lot of vocabularies is meaningless if you cannot pronounce those words correctly and no one can understand the words that you are trying to use. Even worse, pronunciation mistakes can lead to some serious misunderstanding. For example, let's think of the misunderstanding about the picture below, Many people believe that they can communicate in English because they can communicate with their teachers and other students. However, it is not true. The teachers have been listening to bad English for years so they can understand your poor pronunciation, and your friends are from the same country with you and speak English with the same accent so that they can understand your words easier. The best way is to talk to native English speakers, and if they can understand what you are saying, you have a good pronunciation.
Ineffective communication
You are making it difficult for people who listen to you with your strong foreign accent. It is irritated for other people if they have to keep asking you to repeat, but they still cannot figure out what you are saying. Consequently, if it takes a lot of efforts to understand your English, people will avoid communicating with you as much as they can. In contrast, they will enjoy talking to you when you have a pleasant accent that is easy for them hear and understand you.
Tips for proper pronunciation
Here are some tips for you to improve your pronunciation.
- With every new word, you should look it up in the dictionary to find the correct pronunciation.
- Listen to native speakers to get used to their accent. Instead of boring listening lessons, you can listen to English songs, watch movies or listen to your native English speaking friends and relatives.
- Practice in front of a mirror and make sure you move your mouth in the correct way.
- Do a lot of practices. Remember that practices make perfect.
- Be patient and determined. The journey may be tough, but the result will be worth.

Are My Plumbing Pipes Worn Out?
If your house is more than about 60 years old, make sure to check annually for any exposed pipe—in basements, crawlspaces and utility rooms—for telltale signs of trouble. In addition, check under sinks in your kitchen and bathrooms.
Look for Stains
Look for stains on walls and surfaces underneath plumbing pipes that indicate leaks. Drips may not be apparent, but stains indicate a past leak that signals future trouble.
If your plumbing pipes are worn out, you may see stains underneath your sink or discoloration on your walls. For example, look at the ceiling of a room directly underneath a second floor bathroom. If there are stains, this could mean there is some sort of leak present.
Check the Tubing
Make sure to also check the tubing for the following:
- discoloration
- stains
- dimpling
- pimples
- flaking
These are all indications of corrosion as well. If you find any irregularities, contact our plumber here at Mena Plumbing to perform an inspection and make any repairs as necessary.
Watch for Leaks
Even small leaks that are easily repairable may indicate that the time for replacing plumbing for your entire house is approaching.
It is possible that the original pipes in your home are the same vintage, consisting of the same material, and they have been subjected to the same water supply and usage patterns.
Examine the Color of Bathtub Water
Examine the color of bathtub water when you fill it, particularly after a vacation when water has been sitting in the pipes for a while.
If the water appears to be brown or yellow, this is rust. Rust is a sign of decay inside the pipes. This will require replacement of your pipes.
These are just a few ways to determine "Are my plumbing pipes worn out?" Contact Mena Plumbing with the link below for more information or to schedule an inspection with our qualified plumber.

I just had my first spa pedicure with Macie. From the hot towels to the massage, it was perfect! thank you Macie. You'll see me again soon!
I had been looking for a Nail Specialist that did not use the machine drill to file or trim nails because they are very damaging to finger nails. I'm so glad I found Macie!! Not only did she use the traditional nail file on my nails but she performed a full spa manicure (paraffin wax, hand massage and hot stone hand treatment) in the same amount of time as those who use the drill!! My nails look amazing and I have received many compliments. THANK YOU MACIE!!!

Into Sunlight
A colleague of mine in Continuum, Robin Becker, is going to be at Georgetown University tonight and tomorrow night performing Into Sunlight.
Acclaimed choreographer Robin Becker's dance company performs the DC premiere of 'Into Sunlight,' inspired by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Maraniss's book "They Marched Into Sunlight,' a cultural history of war and protest set in 1967. Performed by an ensemble of 16, the work explores the dimensions and effects of war on both those in battle and those at home desperately searching for peace. Becker has been praised by the New York Times for her "eloquent simplicity" and by Backstage for her "original voice." For both performances, Maraniss will provide an introduction and participate in a post-show discussion with the artists and audience.
Friday and Saturday, January 20 and 21, 2012 at 8 p.m.
Hope to see you there!

text: Festivals call for freshly made, hot, tasty food. But among these is one which forbids the eating of just that, and instead asks for a day-old food. Dedicated to Sheetla Devi, Basoda is one such festival, on which you eat Basi dishes. But it's only those recipes which don't spoil easily and are still delicious. Sakshi tells us the origin of this seemingly odd festival mostly celebrated in Rajasthan. She prepares a Basoda special sabzi known as Ker Sangri. To go with the Ker Sangri is the multigrain roti with spices - misi roti. She also makes a savory bajre ki raab that she would have as a child on this day.Read More + Watch Promo

Swimsuits have single- handedly drawn in heated arguments and heightened interests in beauty pageants. One would think that in these modern times, asking candidates to slip into two- piece swimsuits would be such a breeze but no.
To be in one- piece or in two- piece? As far as the Miss Calape 2017 organizers were concerned, choosing the swimsuit design turned out to be one of the most difficult decisions. From the day that the list of official candidates was released up to the last few days leading to the coronation night, the girls were divided when it came to selecting a swimsuit design that would be acceptable for all.
The organizers were so glad that the girls had minds of their own and they really stood their ground when it was suggested that they wear two- piece swimsuits.
Actually, the swimsuit competition is there for a purpose and not as an excuse to flaunt those perfectly- sculpted bodies in identical swimwear.
So why is there a swimsuit competition? Joining a beauty pageant is like applying for a job. Being a beauty queen is a full- time job with a hectic schedule for the winners. It's not all glamour.
Behind those parties, special guest appearances and photo shoots are the constant travels, endless speaking engagements and personality enhancement classes. You need to be fit, healthy and have the stamina to endure and survive a year of reign as queen.
| Miss Calape 2017 Swimsuit Competition
And how do organizers determine a girl's qualification and mental stamina? During the swimsuit competition which highlights the candidates' physical fitness and showcases womanhood's beauty and symmetry.
How they look and appear in their swimsuits reflect on their discipline, attitude & drive. Furthermore, swimsuits are empowering and liberating to women for it gives them the liberty to be in control and to be comfortable with their bodies.
We all know already that beauty pageants have evolved from mere bathing suit parades back in the 1950's into the modern- day quest for the complete package who can be an effective spokesperson, a role model, a beauty product endorser and a woman who radiates inner beauty as well
Nowadays, the obligatory quarter- turns which are likened to a cattle call or meat parade have been dropped and the mention of vital statistics, age, height, hair & eye color has been to avoid being labelled as promoters of women as objects of fantasies.
So here are the candidates in Miss Calape 2017 in their one- piece swimwear:
|Miss Bentig I
|Miss Labuon
|Miss Calunasan
|Miss Sta. Cruz
| Miss Bentig II
|Miss Abucayan Norte
|Miss Mandaug
|Miss Desamparados
|Miss Tultugan
|Miss Catmonan
Based on the individual assessment of the judges, it was Candidate # 5 Miss Bentig II Angelika Concha who clinched the Best in Swimsuit award not only for her stratospheric height, legs that go on for miles and miles but also because of her captivating & winsome smile and confident strut onstage.

Granada, Colorado was actually two separate towns located on the old Santa Fe Trail in southeastern Colorado. The first town, now called "Old Granada," was located south of the Arkansas River about three miles east of the present-day town of Granada.
Old Granada
Located about 12 miles west of the Kansas–Colorado border, this site was on the eastern side of the Big Timbers area, a heavily wooded expanse of giant cottonwood trees that ran about 40 miles along the Arkansas River between Granada and Lamar, Colorado.
The Comanche, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Kiowa, and Apache who frequented the Arkansas River Valley at the time of Euro-American contact were nomadic hunters who depended heavily on bison. Some members of these tribes wintered in the "Big Timbers" of the Arkansas River floodplain near Granada and Lamar. The area was described by a visitor:
"Buffalo were plentiful and Indians gathered there in force. A big camp of Cheyenne had pitched their lodges near the log houses of the traders; two miles below, on the north side of the river, was the Arapaho village; on the south bank, opposite the trading houses, were the camps of the Kiowa and Prairie Apache, while farther down on the south side the northern bands of Comanche had gone into winter camp. At night, when the soldier societies were giving dances the drums could be heard beating in the camps all night long. In the daytime, the trading houses were crowded with Indians bringing in their robes to trade. The Cheyenne and Arapaho women brought their robes on their own backs, but the women from the camps on the other side of the river brought theirs on the backs of mules and horses."
Explorer, Zebulon Pike passed through the area in 1806 and described the dense forest of cottonwood along the Arkansas River. Part of Stephen Long's expedition of 1820 passed through the Arkansas River Valley as did John C. Fremont in 1844, 1845 and 1853, John Albert in 1845, and John Gunnison in 1854.
In the early days of the Santa Fe Trail, there were two trading posts in the Big Timbers area, one operated by William Bent in 1844, and another by William Tharp in 1846. Other fur traders who worked in the area included Alexander Barclay, Blackfoot John Smith, and Lewis Garrard. The Old Granada site was a favorite campground of travelers along the trail.
Between 1864-1895, this area became "cattle country" when an estimated over 10 million head of Texas Longhorns were driven through the area by over 40,000 cowboys.
The Southern Overland Mail and Express Company stage line began operating through the Arkansas River Valley in 1866 and continued until being replaced by the railroads.
In 1871 when Colonel R. I. Dodge of Fort Dodge, Kansas rode through the area, he reported that he saw some 500,000 buffalo.
In 1872, in anticipation of the coming of the railroad, a man by the name of T.B. Nolan opened a general store and commissary on the site of Old Granada and the Chick, Brown & Co. of Kit Carson, a mercantile firm, began laying out a town.
In December 1872, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad reached the Colorado border and in May 1873, reached the town. At that time, Granada became an end-of-track town for two years, and most of the traffic along the Santa Fe Trail was diverted to the Granada-Fort Union Wagon Road, through Prowers, Baca and Las Animas Counties of Colorado to Fort Union, New Mexico, where it joined the Santa Fe Trail.
Within two weeks of the railroad's arrival, the town boasted three restaurants and a hotel. The town was platted in June 1873 and a post office was established in August 1873, taking its name from nearby Granada Creek. Another large mercantile also moved from Kit Carson to Granada — that of the Otero, Sellars & Co. The two large mercantile companies moved tons of freight to Santa Fe by ox teams.
Over the next two years, Granada entered into competition with West Las Animas, where the Kansas Pacific Railroad had laid its tracks, for the commission and freighting business with Santa Fe and other points in New Mexico. The town would grow dramatically to some 1,500 residents and would support a public school, two hotels, three grocery stores, a drug store, Wright & Rath's Hide Buyers, two mercantile companies, four saloons, three dance halls, one gambling hall, and several restaurants. It also boasted an irrigation canal and its streets were lighted by coal oil lamps. Despite the fact that it was the second largest town in Bent County (Prowers County wasn't created until 1889) and one of the largest in the state by 1876, Granada was never incorporated, had no legislative body or law enforcement, and supported no newspapers or churches.
During these early days, the town was populated mostly by railroad employees, gamblers, buffalo hunters, freight handlers and cowboys who worked the nearby ranches. A number of Old West characters were in and out of the town during this time. Some of these included Mysterious Dave Mather, Charles White, Doc Holiday, "Chalk" Beeson, Frank Boggs, George Corry, Clay Allison, Jack Allen, Charles Bassett, Ben Thompson, and Ed Masterson. Calamity Jane was a resident of Granada in 1874-1876.
The coming of the railroad brought buffalo hunters by the dozens and at times, numerous freight wagons could be seen camped at or near Granada, from which, the hides were shipped eastward. By 1880, the buffalo were gone from the area.
In 1876, the New Goodnight Trail, which began at Fort Sumner, New Mexico, made its way to Granada. In December 1875, the terminus of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad moved west to La Junta, Colorado and Granada's glory days ended. By the next year, Granada began to decline as settlers and businessmen moved away. However, It continued to support a post office, the railroad station, a school, a hotel, a store, saloons, and number of houses for another decade.
In 1882, two back-to-back train robberies occurred near Granada. On September 30th the westbound passenger train on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad, was stopped by the danger signal just after it had left the town. It was then boarded by a large party of armed and masked men, some of whom went directly to the express car and others who robbed the passengers. About $2,000 was taken from the express car and an unknown amount from the passengers. The desperados were immediately tracked by a posse, but the criminals escaped.
Just a few weeks later, another train robbery occurred in October, again on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad. The masked men were waiting for the eastern bound train on the side track, and this time made off with $5,500 from the express car but were stopped of robbing the passengers by two sheriffs from Raton and Las Vegas, New Mexico. The robbers, however, missed a safe in the smoking car that contained $10,000.
In 1886, the town was surrounded by lands owned by the Chick, Brown and Company and various ranches. At that time, entrepreneur, Frederick H. Harvey, who owned the famous Harvey House restaurants and hotels, purchased 100,000 acres of Colorado grazing lands for his large herd of cattle. These cattle not only fed the customers of his restaurants, but Harvey also had the contract to feed the passengers along the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad. Called the XY Ranch, the land surrounded Old Granada.

Xero has proven to be a very handy tool when it comes to accounting and bookkeeping, and whether you're already comfortable with it or you're a beginner when it comes to using it, you'll want to make sure that you are optimising its use. So what else do you need to learn about Xero so that you can fully appreciate its benefits? Here are great tips to help you optimise your use of Xero for your business.
Familiarise yourself with highly-useful dashboards
With the dashboards featured by Xero, you can quickly get an overview of your business' performance as well as its essential financial aspects with a simple glance. If you require a bit more detail, all you have to do is click on the links so that you can have access to more information.
Reconcile your accounts with Xero
Another way to maximise your use of Xero is to make sure that you properly reconcile your business accounts with Xero. This helps you minimise the effort of entering data every time you make a transaction – it will automatically be entered for you. You can even make use of additional solutions such as Receipt Bank so that you can get data related to supplier bills, which you can then import to Xero (this will help you benefit from a quicker and more organised process of reconciliation).
With Xero, you can also utilise batch payments so that you can take less time processing payments. If you come across transactions which are unknown, you just have to click on the 'Discuss' icon or tab and create a memo for your accountant.
Encourage your business suppliers and contractors to use Xero
If you can, try to encourage your business suppliers and contractors and other businesses you deal with on a regular basis to use Xero as well. This way, you can easily send your business' invoices to them through their own Xero programme. Once they are on Xero, just ask them to provide you with their business' network key – this will help you connect the files on Xero and enable a portal through which billing information will flow from one system to the other. This allows you to save time and effort on data entry as well.
Make full use of the History and Notes Activity feature
If you regularly use Xero, then you may already be familiar with the History and Notes Activity feature. With this option, you can search for various transactions by Item, User, and Period, and you can also sort through transactions by Item, Date, Notes, User, and Action. When you have selected a particular option, you can then quickly update it.
Implement regular bills and invoices on repeat
With Xero, you can also set up your regular bills and invoices on 'repeat' which means that they will be saved on Xero as a draft. You also have the option to send and approve sales invoices on an automatic basis, so you don't have to worry about neglecting to invoice clients – it is already done for you.
There are many other benefits brought by Xero to small- and medium-sized businesses, and it's time you utilise all these benefits. If you want, you can even take advantage of fuller and more thorough Xero training with accredited professionals – this will help you optimise everything Xero has to offer.
We at KenBell Accounting, provide award winning xero training and bookkeeping services for our clients. Please contact us if you have any questions about what we offer.
