IVF In Singapore
If you need assisted fertilization then you've landed on the right page. "IVF Singapore" is quickly becoming a popular search term in Singapore. IVF (short for In Vitro Fertilization) is a process when an egg is fertilized by sperm in a laboratory, outside the body.
Your Guide To Fertility Treatments
"IVF Singapore" is quickly becoming a popular search term in Singapore. IVF (short for In Vitro Fertilization) is a process when an egg is fertilized by sperm in a laboratory, outside the body.
The term "In Vitro" literally means "in glass", because the fertilized egg grows in a test tube for 2-6 days and then is transferred to the woman's womb, waiting for the pregnancy to begin (source).
Infertility is a very common problem in the modern world and it can happen for many different reasons.
People from Singapore can find a lot of certified IVF specialists in the hospitals and fertility centers, where the best IVF experts will run some examinations to both the partners to find the reason for infertility.
After that, they will begin with a proper treatment for the IVF. IVF is offered as a treatment for infertility in these cases:
- Fallopian tube damage
- Fallopian tube blockage
- Ovulation disorders
- Ovarian failure
- Endometriosis
- Uterine fibroids
- Below average sperm concentration
- Abnormalities in sperm size and mobility
- Unexplained infertility
- Genetic fertility disorders
- Post-chemotherapy conditions
- Polycystic ovarian syndrome
What Does The IVF Procedure Entail?
For IVF Singapore the whole procedure can be very stressful for the partners because it may take a few tries until the fertilization is successful and ends up with a pregnancy. It is best to exercise patience during this phase. Women who undergo IVF need to know all the possible risks and unpleasant results from the procedure, including:
- Multiple births
- Early labor
- Premature delivery
- Low birth weight
- Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome
- Miscarriage
- Ectopic pregnancy
- Stress
- Increased chances for birth defects
The first successful "test-tube baby" was born in 1978. Today, there are a lot of approved and advanced methods for IVF conceiving. There are many couples who were able to conceive the second pregnancy without fertility treatments after they got their first born by IVF.
The good news is that many women who thought that they are too old to get pregnant, had successful IVF and gave birth to healthy children. For a married couple who have been trying for years, this is indeed one of the best news they could get.
Younger women are more likely to get pregnant with IVF. Also, women who were pregnant and have more successful rates than those who have never been pregnant. Today, the best IVF specialists from Singapore are studying advanced genetic screening methods of IVF embryos for early discovery of the possible genetic issues.
Couples who need to go to IVF have a lot of questions about the whole procedure and because of that, we are providing some of the answers.
Top IVF Questions Answered
What do I need to know about the egg retrieval procedure?
After a few weeks of prescribed hormone therapy, the concentration of the eggs in the ovaries is very large, but typical egg retrieval lasts about 20-30 minutes. The patient is under anesthesia the whole time.
The procedure doesn't damage the ovaries, but there may be a need for multiple egg retrievals. Sometimes, the woman can bleed after the procedure. The IVF technicians separate the mature follicles and then the egg is ready to be fertilized.
How long should I wait after IVF to make a pregnancy test?
Usually, it takes 12-14 days until the hCG concentration can be shown on the home pregnancy tests. You may get a negative result, but you should avoid the stress and be patient for those 2 weeks after the intervention.
Keep in mind that the IVF procedure is artificial and the positive results may come later than expected. After those 2 weeks, you should go to the gynecologist for sure results.
Are there some limits on the number of IVF tries?
Most couples will get pregnant within two fertilizations, but it all depends on the specific case.
Does IVF increase the chances for twins or triplets?
In the past, there were a lot of cases when the couple got 2, 3 or more children after one IVF procedure. Today, the number of the embryos is limited, and it depends on a woman's age and the physical constitution of the body. Multiple pregnancies increase the risk of miscarriage and premature births.
Where can I find the best IVF specialists in Singapore? ?
There are a lot of fertility centers in Singapore that help couples to achieve their dream of having children, including KK Women's and Children Hospital and IVF Fertility Clinic.
There are a lot of Singapore couples who need an assisted reproductive procedure to conceive, many have been successful.
They need to make an appointment with the best gynecologists and IVF specialists and ask for examinations. The cost of the procedure depends on the particular case of infertility, but it becomes more affordable the younger the mother is and the more eggs she has.
We can all thank the advanced medicine and IVF techniques that provide a high rate of successful IVF pregnancies and live born children in Singapore.

Things got heated Friday night in the Student Activities Center ballroom during a debate exploring whether morality is better explained by God or by science which was fueled by applause and controversy.
The two speakers, the God-wielding Frank Turek, and Michael Shermer, of science, deliberated in front of residents from all over Long Island as well as students and faculty as part of Stony Brook University School of Social Welfare's first co-sponsored event with the Christian organization "New York Apologetics: The Heart Beat of The Christian Mind." Stony Brook High School students, who were attending a trip with their teacher, also filled several seats.
The debate became intense as the audience applauded for their favorite debater and yelled their opinions from the balcony.
Turek said that morality is judged by a certain standard and that standard is God's nature. God's nature, Turek added, makes the rules that mankind follow given by a "who, not an it." In rebuttal, Shermer asked the question "If God does not decree something immoral, does that make it moral?" Which sparked additional jeering remarks from the audience.
Moderator Chris Arnzen kept the crowd laughing as he constantly pointed out that none of the debaters were following the rules and even urged the audience not to yell or throw harmful objects at the stage. Nothing was thrown onto the stage.
Turek, a Christian Apologetic believer, is the founder of the non-profit ministry organization, Cross Examined, and is the author and co-author of four books which include "I Don't Have Enough Faith To Be an Atheist" and "Stealing From God: Why Atheist Need God to make their Case." Christian Apologetics is a field of theology that presents a reasoned basis for the Christian faith and defends the faith against objections. Turek has been featured as a leading apologetics expert and cultural commentator. He has also appeared on numerous radio and television shows including "The O'Reilly Factor."
On the opposing side was Shermer who is the founding publisher of "The Skeptic Society" and is the author to numerous books which including "The Moral Arc: How Science and Reason Lead Humanity Toward Truth, Justice, and Freedom" as well as "The Science of Good and Evil." Shermer regularly contributes essays and editorial pieces to the Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times and other publications.
Event Goers' Reviews
Students from local colleges came out of the debate with their own thoughts on how well the speakers presented their case.
"I thought it was very interesting seeing both sides, one prepared and one with contradictions," Ashley Barnes, of Suffolk Community College, said "Perhaps there is more to think about but in the end, all I know is that I wouldn't be here without God."
Not only did college students voice their opinions, but high school students contributed as well.
"I just think it was a really good opportunity for kids to really open their minds up to other people's views and I think that even if you're not a Christian, you could side with one or the other," said Deanna Bottomley, of Stony Brook High School. "I think they both raised some pretty good points although I do think that the man arguing science as the better way contradicted himself very much".

Thank you for reading this issue of our newsletter.
We wish all a safe and happy summer. Burglaries tend to

doors when you're not home and sleeping and don't leave valuable items
unattended outdoors.
This month in The Local Business Spot Lite we feature the
Jacob Holle Funeral Home of Maplewood and South
Orange. They have been customers of ours since 1995 but their
history goes back much further, 162 years. We protect their two locations

Thank you again.
Commercial Security
Against Access Control? Consider the Following Information:
If you are on the fence
regarding whether or not you should install an access control system for
your business, there are a few things you may want to consider. Prior to
deciding if access control installation is right for you, take some time
to mull over the information below.
Access Control Can
Boost Your Image
Issuing a credential
for authorized users that requires them to swipe a card or badge at a
door, or other entryway, is not showing "disrespect" for your other
visitors or clients. In fact, it is actually showing them that you care a
great deal about their safety, as well as the safety of your employees.
This can help give a positive boost to your image that will impress
important visitors.
Access Control Can
Lead to an Increase in Productivity
Chances are you have
found your employees gathered at the water cooler or in someone else's workstation from time
to time. You may have also discovered that a family member or friend
stopped by to "chat." What this means is that your employees work has
completely stopped – costing you in productivity. However, when you
install an access control system, it can help to ensure your staff
remains productive while they are on the clock.
The installation of
an access control system is an extremely important decision for modern
business owners. These systems are not right for all business types;
however, there are a number of business owners who are doing themselves a
great disservice by not considering the benefits that access control
systems offer.
Is Your Landscaping
Hurting or Helping Your Home's Security?
Virtually every homeowner in America makes, at least, a
little bit of an effort to ensure that their home is safe from crime;
however, there are some actions you can take that may not be as obvious
as others. When you think of home security, chances are you think of a
home security alarm system. While this is an essential element of your
home security plan, there are still a number of things you can do to
enhance the security around your property, starting with the landscaping.
Use Your Landscaping
as a Tool
While your
landscaping can add a great deal of curb appeal to your home, it can also
be used as a tool. The way it is designed will help to determine if it is
a tool to prevent a break-in or to help an intruder. There are few
homeowners who view their landscaping as a security feature because it is
mainly seen as a hazard used by criminals. However, if you take some time
to view the landscaping of your home from the street and then consider
how it can help or hurt your home's security, you are on the right path.
Place All Shrubs,
Bushes and Trees Strategically
The bushes and trees
you place on your property can help it look great, but the foliage may also provide an
excellent hiding place for anyone who wants to commit a crime. Trees
offer access to the second floor of your home, and trellises and bushes
can provide an intruder complete cover, even in the middle of the day.
You should minimize anything that you have located close to your home.
The rule of thumb is 3' or lower for bushes and adding prickly
shrubs can be a good deterrent.
Add Plenty of Light
Lighting is a great
deterrent for criminals. In addition to the typical pathway lighting, you
should also consider adding floodlights that are motion activated and
that cover areas such as your windows and doors.
When you think about
how you can make your home safer, you should not forget about the
landscaping. Even a few small changes can make a world of difference.
Automation, Apps and
Access: How Technology is Making You Safer
In this high-tech world, being able to keep your home
completely protected is much easier than it has ever been in the past.
Much more sophisticated than the overly-loud alarms that were used in the
past, the home security gadgets today are discreet and offer tons of
different features. They also require very little installation and many
can be easily controlled with a Smartphone app. Some of the latest and
greatest security apps you should check out are:
Ninja Blocks
This block would get
the best of even the most skilled ninjas. This small device syncs up to various
sensors installed on your windows, doors and other areas in your home. If
motion is detected, the Ninja will send a text or make a phone call so
that you can take the proper action.
Rovio – the Robot
If hiring a manned
security officer is not in your budget, go for the next best thing – Rovio. Here you have a robot-on-wheels that will make
the rounds in your home or business, detecting motion and recording any
activity with a Wi-Fi enabled camera. You can access the video right
through your Smartphone.
The Canary Security
While this name is
reminiscent of the days of early devices used for carbon monoxide detection, this sophisticated
system can do much more than just monitor for intruders. The Canary
Security System features air quality sensors, humidity, temperature, a
microphone and an HD camera. You can place the device in a central
location in your home and receive a call or text if there is any
suspicious behavior. Keeping your home and business safe just got
easier and more efficient with these tech savvy gadgets.
The Local Business Spot Lite: Jacob Holle Funeral Home-Maplewood & South Orange, New
If you've ever had
to arrange funeral services for a loved one you know how hard it can be,
not only logistically but emotionally as well. Having professional guidance
and support throughout the process can help put your mind at ease and
make for a less arduous journey. The family run business at the Jacob Holle Funeral Home
is a full service funeral home, meaning they organize everything from
burials to cremations. They have two locations, one in Maplewood
and one in South Orange, New Jersey.
To help protect
their family business and the integrity of their clientele, our team at Perfect
Connections, Inc. installed fire and burglar alarm systems at
both funeral home locations and alarm systems at Jacqueline and her
mother's personal residence. When asked how the systems have been
working for them, Jacqueline said, "They've been working great!"
She pointed out the fact that the systems are wireless due to the
infrastructure of the funeral homes.
Often times in older
or historical buildings hardwired systems are not a viable option due to
structural obstacles or the risk of causing too much aesthetic
damage. In regards to service provided by Perfect Connections
Jacqueline said, "Pat's great, we call and he comes out the next
day." Patrick (Pat), founder of Perfect Connections, and our team
of integrators have been providing comprehensive security system
solutions to businesses and homes throughout northern and central New
Jersey for the past 23 years. We understand each facility and home
is unique and requires personal attention with a tailored solution.
Q & A with
Jacqueline A. Holle, Executive Director-R. Faucett Construction Inc.
Speaking with
Jacqueline I was able to learn more about Jacob Holle
Funeral Home and the services they provide. As previously mentioned
it is a family run business, however I did not realize how far back the
business goes. Jacqueline and her brother Clark are the 5th
generation to run the business. The Jacob Holle
funeral home is the 2nd oldest in all of New Jersey
State. It all started back in 1851 with their great great grandfather Albert J. Holle
in Newark, NJ. Jacob Holle, third
generation owner, decided to move locations twice before settling in
Maplewood, NJ in 1937. Jacob's son Richard, Jacqueline and Clark's father, took over in 1963 and is currently "easing
into retirement." Richard, Clark, and Jacqueline sought to expand
the business and did just that in 2003 when they acquired Preston Funeral
Home in South Orange.
No culture or
religion is immune to the difficulties that accompany the death of a
loved one. As a full service funeral home the Holle's
provide services to anyone and everyone regardless of race or
religion. To help their patrons through the grieving process it is
the Holle's belief that everyone be treated as
family. At the Jacob Holle Funeral Home
you won't feel like just another number. They also keep up with the
changing times acknowledging traditional funeral services may not be what
they used to. Meaning clients' needs and wants have transformed
over the years and they pride themselves on being receptive to those
changes as well as changes to the surrounding areas.
Planning a funeral
or memorial service can seem like a daunting task, but with expertise and
support from the Holle family you can be sure
the grieving process will feel a little lighter. Clark and
Jacqueline carry on their family's work by providing the utmost
sensitivity and attention to detail for every family, friend, and loved
one. To learn more about their services visit their website at Jacob Holle Funeral Home
. You can contact them 24/7 with any inquiries at (973) 762-2200
(Maplewood location) or (973) 762-1133 (South Orange

Dr. Dennis McKenna: Spirituality and Health
Dr. Dennis McKenna is one of several experts to speak on the link between spirituality and healing in the documentary Vine of the Soul: Encounters with Ayahuasca.
Here is a short text excerpt from one of his interviews:
"The notion that there is a spiritual component to healing has been totally excised from biomedicine. Spirituality and healing? What does spirituality have to do with healing? Medicine has understood the mind, the brain, as simply a complex machine. You apply the appropriate monkey wrench to the appropriate place, and you fix it, much like a mechanic might fix a car, and you're good to go, you know. And it completely misses the point. So this becomes very tricky when you start talking about how are we going to use things like ayahuasca, which have traditionally been sacred medicines, shamanic medicines… How are we going to integrate those into the modern biomedical paradigm, when the existence of spirit and the fact that, you know, spiritual dysfunction can actually manifest as biochemical dysfunctions. How are we going to reconcile those things? "
You can read Dr. McKenna's biography on our "Experts" page.

While most Deerfield students who choose to go to university outside of the US are headed either to the United Kingdom or to Canada, the college advising office is able to support students' college searches anywhere in the world. Because each country has a distinct educational system, a college search outside the US requires particular attention to detail about required testing, deadlines and applications, as the process we use in the US isn't always applicable outside of the US.
British Universities
While a few British Universities accept the Common Application (University of St. Andrews, University of Warwick, University of Glasgow, Durham University), most require students to apply using the Universities & Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) forms. The UCAS application is available online. It is important to review each individual university application form and deadline. While some schools in the British system (St. Andrews) use a "rolling admissions" process, we recommend students submit application materials as early as possible.
Student Evaluation
British Universities typically assess students based on their standardized testing. U.S. applicants should expect to submit the SAT or ACT and two to three AP exams or three to four SAT subject tests depending on to which university and program they make an application.
US Qualifications for Oxford and Cambridge
Successful candidates would typically have SAT test scores of at least 700 in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, as well as in Mathematics, or an ACT score of at least 32. Applicants should also have earned 5's in three or more Advanced Placement tests in appropriate subjects or SAT subject tests scores of 700 or better in three appropriate subjects. Additionally, students applying to specific courses of study may have to take a written exam or submit written work for evaluation. Please check guidelines below.
UCAS Guidelines
- Please visit the UCAS online YouTube Channel
- UCAS application deadline
- Search UCAS courses and institutions
Oxford and Cambridge Guidelines
- Please visit Oxford and Cambridge: An Insider's Guide to Applying
- Please visit the Oxford University YouTube Channel to see Oxford Tutors explaining the admissions process.
- Please visit the Cambridge YouTube Channel
Canadian Universities
Canada is home to some of the world's most renowned universities, universities which enjoy the added benefit of having lower tuition costs than many colleges and universities in the United States. While these institutions may have limited or no financial aid for non-Canadian citizens, they are often still a more affordable option than colleges in the US.
Most Canadian universities require students to apply using their own school-specific application, available from each university's website. Most Canadian universities are also quite clear about minimum standardized test scores and prerequisite coursework. Please note that meeting or exceeding those minimums does not guarantee admission, but this information is helpful in determining whether or not it would be appropriate for a student to submit an application for admission. For reference, the following are links to the 2018 admissions requirements for US high school students to some Canadian universities that have been popular with Deerfield students int he past.

I was asked to prepare a set of articles for the Northumberland Photography Club – ON. I entitled the series:
Save, Find, Edit, Output
These articles will discuss how to organize files so that you can find them again, deal with backup and recovery so images are not forever lost, basic editing workflow and finally preparing for output, including colour management.
Let's start with the first step: saving those image files. When doing so, there really is no 'best way' but there are general principles that are tried-and-true.
Guiding principles to Image Management
The following principles for image management are really a 'best practice' for most file formats, and this includes data such as Word documents. The basic principles are defined below and we will dive into the details in the future articles:
- Capture images using the best format your camera is capable of recording. Advanced photographers should use 'camera raw' format since that format retains more detail, otherwise select the highest JPEG format available. Also select the best colour space 'Adobe RGB' if it is available on your camera since it produces better prints.
- File images into one location such as "Pictures" or what ever folder you prefer to call it. Don't spread files all over your hard disk. Group files into subfolders so that they can be more easily found later.
- Name images and folders using a consistent file naming convention. Include the Subject in the file name. Subjects may also include date, location, person, event etc. This allows you to more easily find files later. For image files, include the image number from the camera as part of the file name, this will provide a basis to group files later which will be required as we discuss further steps in your workflow. Add the Date to the filename if desired (EXIF data imbedded into the file already contains the date however) so you may not require that as part of the filename.
- Backup all images to another storage device. This manages hardware failures. Typically this backup is located somewhere on your premises and is not that expensive to maintain or difficult to perform.
- Test the 'restore' process every now and then. Sometimes the restore does not work, thus you really don't have a viable backup.
- Protect Critical Files in a separate geographic location. Protect those key files from loss due to the following threats: hardware or software failure, theft, disasters (such as fire/flood etc.) and human error. Your backup and restore strategy need to consider these risks types and how tolerant you are to loss verses the cost of mitigating those risks. We will discuss the details later but Critical files (such as those 'keeper' images and other key documents) should exist in a separate geographic location. This special backup deals with the disasters mentioned above and it's a different backup form that referred to in item 3. You will need to determine if you really are willing to 'chance it' or want the security, effort and cost of having yet another backup.
- Use a consistent workflow when processing image files. It sometimes is necessary to have different versions of the same image, one 'original', one for web display (reduced resolution) and another for printing; using a workflow helps to organize the process providing a means of managing the related files. This is a large subject that will be dealt with in subsequent articles.
- Avoid overlapping software tools. Multiple tools will create too many catalogues, making it more difficult to find and manage images. For example, don't use more than one of the following tools: Aperture, Lightroom, iPhoto or Adobe Bridge to manage your catalogue of images. When choosing a tool, consider your longer term needs and allow room for growth. Pick one tool and stick with it.
- Avoid saving to multiple output locations. Don't export files to more than one photo site: Picasa, MobileMe, Flickr, Facebook, etc. Pick one and stick to it; it's easier to manage and your many dedicated followers will be able to more easily find your output.
Following the above principles takes time, so don't get discouraged if you don't succeed right away. Chip away at it, and eventually it will all get organized.

The Georgia Society of Ophthalmology (GSO) and the American Society of Ophthalmology (AAO) are encouraging physicians who are aware of cases of Anthem denying payment for anesthesia claims to email Cherie McNett at email@example.com.
The organizations report that in January "Anthem posted new guidance positing that monitored anesthesia during cataract surgery is not medically necessary and suggested it will no longer cover these anesthesia services. The guidance indicates that cataract surgery does not require monitored anesthesia care except in very specific, 'medically necessary' situations. The document indicates that local or regional anesthesia should suffice."

Digitally Controlled Gimbal for Small Cameras & Smart Phones
The ISEE+ is a handheld motorised gimbal designed for use with small-bodied cameras, such as a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera, Sony A7SII or Panasonic GH4. The ISEE+ helps produce horizontally oriented, smooth and stable video footage.
The camera is mounted and balanced on a two-axis gimbal and is stabilised on the tilt and roll axis using brushless motors that are automatically controlled by sensors. Every unit ships with pre-calibrated motors, so there is no need for users to recalibrate or download calibration software. Simply balance the camera, turn on the unit and begin shooting.
Using the ergonomically placed joystick, it is possible to control the tilt axis during a shot, giving users ultimate control. Different shooting positions can be achieved due to the ability to vary the distance between the handle and the gimbal itself. This is altered using Shape's push-button system. By depressing the large red knob, the angle of the gimbal in relation to the handle can be adjusted in seconds. This flexibility allows users to explore various shooting angles, such as low-angles.
In multiple positions, including on the side of the grip and on the base of the unit, there are 1/4-20 threads. These can be used to either mount a smartphone for monitoring use or for rigging the gimbal to other equipment. It could be attached to a car suction mount or even a monopod for capturing high-angle shots.
The ISEE+ is powered by two internally housed Canon LP-E6 batteries, both of which are included in the kit. It has a maximum weight capacity of around 2 lbs / 0.9 kg.

Phoenix Could Tear Down Arizona's First American Legion Post
Luke-Greenway American Legion Post 1 is making plans to celebrate 100 years in its original Phoenix location. But it's unlikely the post will mark 101 years at the same spot.
On the southwest corner of Seventh Avenue and Polk Street sits Arizona's oldest American Legion Post. In 1919, it became one of the first posts chartered in the United States. In 1920, a charter member deeded the land to Phoenix in exchange for the post getting a 99-year lease. Now, the city's looking to sell.
At this stage, the idea is to tear down all or most of the Post's original home — an idea that upsets historic preservationists.
"A domino effect in our neighborhood is critical," said Beatrice Moore with Grand Avenue Arts and Preservation. "You start putting new construction inside our neighborhood, then you're going to have more developers coming in who see that activity, see the city tearing down a historic building and then they're going to want to come in and do more of the same."
During Tuesday's Planning and Economic Development Subcommittee, staff said the building would require a lot of work to gain official historic status. And if it gets historic designation, there would be limits on what can happen around it. For example, the views in the front, back and one side could not be obstructed. The one side where you could build would reportedly be pretty restricted. In a nutshell, Phoenix's economic development director said there's no market for something like that. No developer is going to pump in millions unless they can build something that's going to make them millions.
Patrick Mays, Post 1's former commander, lives in a historic neighborhood downtown and told the subcommittee he joined Post 1 nine years ago because of its historic nature. When he learned the 99-year lease was within a few years of expiring, Mays said he set a goal to secure a long-term extension.
"Initial efforts to obtain that lease extension were flatly denied," he said. "The prevailing attitude at that time was, 'Well, they won't throw us out. We're veterans, right?' That was a foolhardy position to take, it really was, and I decided I wanted to take initiative to try to come with a collaborative and cooperative solution along with the city."
For about three years, Mays and others have been working with the city on ways to include veterans in the redevelopment of their home.
"One of the things we heard over and over again is housing, affordable housing, that's one of the things they're looking for and services," Councilman Michael Nowakowski said.
Before the city hangs a 'for sale' sign on the 1.68 acre site, the council must approve. The Economic Development Department is working on a request for proposals (RFP). It would require a few things as a result of input from the American Legion Post and some council members.
Bidders for a mixed-use development must provide at least 3,000 square feet for veterans' support services and, if there's housing, they must set aside at least 30 percent below market rate with preference given to lower income veterans. Also, bidders would be encouraged or possibly required — the language has to be determined — to analyze the building to find ways of saving some elements and incorporating them into the new project.
"The fact that the city has collaborated with the American Legion, wanting to know what our needs are and included these as items as part of the RFP, is a demonstration of their willingness to be at the forefront of the many issues facing veterans today and to work collectively towards a solution," Mays said.

Property Law – Background
The Commercial Building Disclosure (CBD) Program is a regulatory program that requires the mandatory disclosure of a building's energy efficiency information to the market when commercial office space above a certain size is offered for sale or lease.
The CBD Program is an initiative of the Council of Australian Governments (COAG). It was established by the Building Energy Efficiency Disclosure Act 2010 and is managed by the Australian Government Department of the Environment and Energy.
Changes Made
In essence:
- from 1 July 2017 the mandatory disclosure threshold on commercial office space will decrease from 2000 square metres to 1000 square metres
- this means owners and landlords of smaller commercial office buildings may need to disclose the building's energy efficiency when they sell or lease their property after this date
Our Matthews Folbigg Property Law team recommends building owners/landlords, tenants who sub-lease and real estate agents:
- review these property law changes
- seek the assistance of a property lawyer to understand the impacts of these property law changes
- obtain a Building Energy Efficiency Certificate (BEEC) as required
- update new lease agreements and disclosure statements as required
- update advertising material to include the building's National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS) Energy for offices star rating as required
- train relevant personnel about these property law changes
- raise any property law questions with a property lawyer
- discuss the possibility of any exceptions or exemptions to the legislation with a property lawyer
- be aware penalties can apply for breaches of property laws including the CPD Program (which a property lawyer can advise on)

DECEPTION (Code Breaker Trilogy #1)
Elizabeth pretended that she didn't remember.
She pretended that she had been taken like everyone else. That her mind had wiped like the others. She pretended she couldn't do what she could do. But now the truth is coming out and the Insightful are back.
They say that the legendary 5 Insightful can see through time, that they know things they shouldn't. That they will rise again. If that's true, then the war isn't over, the war that tore everything apart. The war that turned the world against itself.
Gripped by the mindful eye of the Authorities and held back by the stone walls of the Curb, Elizabeth struggles to find a way out of the darkness. To stay alive in a world that wants her dead. Through a journey of secrets, love and deception, she must face the past to save those like her.
But the real question is, can she save herself– Or will she be the one to pull the trigger?
*This is the first book I ever wrote, when I was in middle school. If I ever fix it up, I might publish it in hard copy. It's nowhere near as good as my other novels, but a lot of people requested to read it, so if you want to read it for free, click here.

I'm guessing the po had them apart at some point. I took advantage of the down time with some silver metal hvac tape to line the reflectors and bought some VHT night shades red spray paint. That crap was 15 bucks but did a really nice job.

Offering Free Investment & Investor Due Diligence Service
For the last few years, I've been researching and reporting on, clowns, scammers, schemers, and scumbags. I've been doing due diligence for investors and founders seeking investments. Sometimes it's as simple as a google search, sometimes, it's a tip from a source, and sometimes, I have to reach out to my sources. My due diligence has uncovered:
- Clowns – The Incompetent Imbelishers
- Crooks – It is my opinion that these folks are crooks or had long-term close relationships with criminals
- Danny Boice – Cofounder and former CEO of a company under investigation for fraud
- Jen Mellon – Cofounder and former President of a company under investigation for fraud
- Andy Powers – Charged with multiple federal counts of fraud
- Ram Reddy – Vigourously asserts he is a victim and not a criminal
- Matthew Pugsley – Convicted Felon
In the course of my day, I do research to promote my blog which promotes my business. The blog is designed to gain an audience and demonstrate how I apply knowledge, experience, and critical thinking to work with my coaching clients. Readers frequently send me notes of:
- thanks from those I've helped from getting in trouble – Before the Fact
- requests for help from those that have been damaged – After the Fact
- tips from those who want to put bad actors on my radar screen – Tips
Here are just a few examples:
Before the Fact
Glen, thank you for your due diligence on Jason Feimster. I found him on Veterati and we had a phone call scheduled today for some mentorship as I transition out of the service. I googled 3Si first and something didn't click. Then I google'd Juliet Foxtrox Ventures and found the only company they listed was a gun cleaning service…a worthy service but not exactly a 10X start-up. Then I found your pieces on him from this year. I didn't have anything to invest but thank you for saving me an hour of my life at a minimum. I alerted Veterati as well.
Thank you for your articles. I am a VOB and was contacted by a VC who wanted to invest in my company etc…
I googled the name and saw your article on this individual. Saved me a lot of time researching him.
I was actually considering a senior role at FlimFlam (Trustify) until I came across your posts. I genuinely appreciate your insights, candor, and humor on the organization's state of affairs.
Thank you kindly!
Name Redacted (with a real MBA- Yale University – School of Management)
I actually just received a service agreement and NDA agreement from 3si and Jason's Feimster. The only reason why I am concerning this is because I talk to Two of his companies that I found via Facebook messaging and they received their funds and like working with them. But there are a lot of red flags
After the Fact:
I found my name in an article you published about Trustify, listing me as an investor. I don't know why they were listed as an investment in my angelist profile, I did not invest in Trustify. Please remove my name from that list immediately. Thank you.
I am a private investigator who while doing research on trustify I came across your blog. I worked a case for trustify and have not been paid for the services rendered. I also read where you had been sent a letter to resend your comments. My efforts to collect my payment have gone unanswered. The biggest problem I have is the company statement. something like this: changing the industry by empowering woman and other races and take away business from the " 1%er white male". I have over 30 years of law enforcement and private investigations. I have logged hundreds of hours doing surveillance and undercover work.
Their system that is in place does not allow equal distribution of work. In the hundreds of cases that have come out for investigators, I have only gotten one job. I immediately hit the "accept" button for the work and I am never granted the work. After many attempts to resolve this issue of nonpayment, my calls are now being ignored as well as my emails. I am contacting you in hopes that you can help or give me advice to resolve this matter or how I can expose their unscrupulous business actions.
Thank you
Trustify is a joke. As a former contract Investigator for them, I can tell you this. They will at some point not pay you. I know, like me, other Investigators worked for them to fill in the gaps of casework. It's not worth the risk of nonpayment. – Josh White
I invested in Chalant Health in 2015. Your post said you could help me get my money back? I'm all ears!
I can't help anyone get blood from a stone. I did send his information to the authorities who are investigating the case.
Hi Glen
I have been admiring your work on Matt Pugsley. You can add my name to the list of cheated investors in US Scan. We have been holding a promissory note from Matt and giving him time to make payments. (there haven't been any). So I was searching for new detials on where he is living. I found all of your articles…Wow and Thanks! Matt had offered to convert his personal promissory note into chalant health equity. I'm glad I didn't accept that offer.
I have been asking my attorney, why isn't the state of VA hunting him down for nothing short of felonious theft of millions of dollars through every possible form of criminal conduct.
Please let me know if I can assist you in any way!
I no longer work for Trustify or Danny Boice. Please remove me from your blog.
Thank you,
From: Angry Anon
RE: Trustify
They didn't make payroll today. As you celebrate the demise of Trustify, keep in mind there is still a couple dozen people there that work hard who can't pay rent and bills tonight. They were blindsided. Boice is telling them they'll get their money later this week. He's lying of course.
Boice is a sociopath (I don't know what Melon is but it's nothing good). Sociopaths are great con artists. Think about that when you throw mud on Klempf.
You can tell Boice's ex not to worry about custody. His lawyer quit for nonpayment.
Also, and you didn't hear this from me, Boice is in NYC tomorrow trying to con a few million more bucks from the investors. They were all on Amit's email, but VCs can be pretty frigging stupid. Connect whatever dots you want.
Boice is causing pain for everyone around him. Melon deserves it (but she'll whore her way through it). No one else does. Please remember that.
If you use any of this please don't quote me (please paraphrase). It would hurt someone you don't know very much, and they are scared enough as it is.
I have to be honest: watching the slow, painful, and public evisceration and downfall of Danny, Jen, and Dumpsterfy has been nothing short of cathartic. Nice work. I'll be having a nice little toast when that place shuts down for good and Danny and Jen are facing criminal charges.
Former Trustify Employee
Back in March, Danny had this huge think tank meeting with a bunch of people in our Trustify offices. He had a production company come- they were making a feature length documentary about Danny and Jen. He also had a publishing company ghostwriting his autobiography- the first chapter circulated the office. They were at this meeting as well. Danny had a big falling out with the owner of the publishing company a few months later. A PR firm from Boston was there as well- they were working on PR strategies to promote Danny and Jen's "brand". Found out later from another employee that Danny was using Trustify money to fund the book and the documentary- she was concerned because Danny was trying to keep this info from the investors. Not sure what happened with everything- saw the film crew in there with Jen in September right before I quit after missed payroll. Bet they've got some real interesting stuff.
I can confirm that Trustify is NOT paying vendors and has not paid some vendors in over 3 months. I also would encourage you to look into the third member of the "board", Alexandra Stanton. I bet she is paying for the $$$ lawyer.
You may be interested to know that our friend Mr. Boice has been in some credit trouble lately. His score is down to the low 600s due to… get this… 'delinquent accounts' and 'low average age of accounts', aka a lot of new unpaid credit. Just a piece of information that might be interesting for you.
I love the blog and your Trustify pieces. Someone needs to do a piece on Lee Jundanian and his cronies (if you look at public court records in MoCo, bad actors all) stole/scammed/cheated indigent, black lead paint victims in Baltimore. Danny B. fleeces investors, employees, etc. This guy's company Access Funding took down people he knew were already down and in most cases mentally impaired and destroyed over 100 lives. Clearly, black lives don't matter to him. This has really not been reported on for the past two years.
He's got ongoing litigation by the CFPB and Maryland. He needs his profile raised.
Mr. Cranky, crank it up on Access Funding and the former E&Y entrepreneur of the year. He maintains all his assets, as he signed them over to his wife, Nicole and is a real piece of shit worthy of your investigation. Keep up the solid work.
Lee Jundanian is now on my to-do list.
Hello, Glen
you're right, Trustify doesn't pay contractors, employees, vendors, not for the first time, it always happens without any explanations or any hint why it happens, when it'll end.
your blog was once mentioned as troll's blog who has something personal against D, but as things happens it becomes more and more obvious that there's a problem inside company and the problem has a name you know.
today I've noticed my Trustify google account doesn't sync anymore, probably disabled.
nobody says nothing essential, Danny just ignores any messages/emails, Matt DL ignores tough questions either
they owe several months paychecks to some people, including me
From: Jane Smith
Thank you for shedding a much-needed light on Jen Mellon & Danny Boice. They are truly the worst kind of soul mates. Are you aware of Jen's history at Bucknell? It pales in comparison to how they're tearing Joanne, and running their company, but does show her pattern of being a horrible human being.
1) she had her sights set on becoming a member of the Tri-Delta sorority when she got to campus. The Tri-Delta did not accept her, so she joined Kappa Kappa Gamma but made her mission to exact revenge. She got herself on the Panhellenic board and proceeded to go after Tri-Delt with a vengeance, and eventually succeeded in getting The Whole chapter kicked off campus. )The chapter had been at Bucknell since 1904.)
2) "If she cheats with you, she'll cheat on you" While at Bucknell, Jen became engaged to a classmate named Pat Alfano. The wedding was fully planned and was to take place in the Bucknell chapel. Shortly before the wedding, Jen hooked up with Pat's fraternity brother, Eli Peterson. Jen then dumped Pat, left all the wedding plans in place, and just inserted a new groom—Eli. She was with Eli until she ditched him for a guy who (seemed to have) more money to fund the lifestyle to which she felt entitled.
Please do not reveal my name or email address. I just thought you should be aware of these facts if you were t already. Thank you for all that you're doing!
Just want to make sure you know about this https://www.gofundme.com/
Have you crossed paths with Stephen Gilfus? A friend of mine did a deal with him to take over an (admittedly) unsuccessful business and Gilfus made a lot of promises on merging it with one of his businesses, turning it around, and benefitting the seller. None of the promises were kept. However, my friend was only willing to complain to me but not to follow up publicly.
I remember sending you some of the first info on Jason Feimster who you have since exposed to keep the local tech community from being scammed. No guarantee that Gilfus is a bait and switch operator, as he did not inherit a profitable business, but you might want to at least put your Mr. Cranky antennae up.
Other than that, keep up the good work…

Danny and Andy used to roll with Thai another dude Chris Lapp Years ago
Government contractor who "made millions"
See what he's up to now:
I was just scanning posts on LinkedIn and saw yet another egregious bunch of lies by Ross Blankenship that took about 3 clicks to discredit:
Vail Networks has 2 employees according to LinkedIn:
The only guy other than Ross is a fake profile for the company and not an employee (meaning it is a 1 person company):
BUT, on the Vail Networks website:
It implies it is an Inc 5000 company, BUT it is nowhere to be found on the Inc 5000
Separately, the very same Ross Blankenship is an education consultant as shown in this recent Washingtonian article where he is quoted 4 times
Here he is quoted in his Angel Kings persona:
Here he is a Denver guy:
Here are all the companies connected to his 800 number:
If I had another 30 minutes I could likely find more evidence of lies and malfeasance, but that is your strong suit so this is my New Year's gift to you.
This complete buffoonish clown, Ross Blankenship goes to the top of my target list for 2019. Several people reached out to me about him last year. They included:
- February 2, 2018: I received a phone call regarding Angel Kings. They contracted with Blankenship to help them raise money and it became quickly evident that he had no contacts in the industry, no clue how to raise money.
- Update March 15, 2018 – It was reported to me that after a company terminated services with Self-proclaimed, "Angel King," Ross Blankenship started interfering with employees and the company's business.
I provide tips to state and federal employees, I've am a source for investors when seeking references. Founders seeking money have obtained value from my research. Prospective employees avoided disaster by reading my research and others have damaged their careers and reputations by ignoring the results of my due diligence. Folks are tired of me reporting on the same old broken down crooks and clowns. Which gave me a great idea for a truly symbiotic relationship.
Are you about to make an investment? Are you talking to a potential investor? Are you interviewing with a potential employer? Ask Mr. Cranky, and I'll do your due diligence for you. I'll let you know what I know. I'll poke around and let you know if I see any red flags. And if it seems like there are red flags… I'll dig in and report.
I'll do your due diligence.

This story was submitted via Stomp App contribution.
Motorists went on their own way along Yishun Avenue 11 on Wednesday afternoon (June 6), not paying much heed to an elderly taxi driver who was stranded by the side of the road.
The ComfortDelGro cabby tried to change his taxi's flat rear tyre on his own but to no avail, said Stomper LoveAOK, a resident living in the area.
She told Stomp: "It was around 4 to 5pm. At first, I noticed the taxi moving slowly and thought something had happened. His passengers, a family of three, alighted and left.
"The frail, elderly taxi driver looked helpless as he assessed the condition of the tyre. Many vehicles passed by the road but none stopped to help.
"I wanted to help but didn't know how. There were passers-by nearby who just looked on too. Perhaps they, like me, knew nuts about changing a tyre."
Even after 40 minutes, the taxi driver's efforts proved to be futile.
And his troubles would have persisted -- if not for a kind young man who passed by and rendered his assistance.
Added the Stomper: "A kind, selfless young man approached the taxi driver without hesitation and offered his help to assist the taxi driver.
"The man's random, inspiring act of kindness and heartwarming gesture restores my faith in humanity (it's a pity though I didn't get a good snapshot of him)!
"The process, with the guy's help, took about 15 to 20 minutes. If it weren't for him, the taxi driver would probably take a longer time to change his flat tyre.
"Not all is negative about Yishun!"

China's Zijin Mining Group said it plans to raise up to 8 billion yuan ($1.16 billion/1.0 billion euro) for the acquisition of metals company Nevsun Resources, which runs the Timok copper-gold project in Serbia.
Zijin plans to issue up to 3.4 billion Class A shares to finance the purchase of 100% of the capital of Nevsun, for a total of 9.36 billion yuan, the Chinese company said in a filing with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on Wednesday.
Last week, Nevsun said Zijin has been successful in the offer to purchase all of its 276,820,575 issued and outstanding common shares for 6.0 Canadian dollars ($4.4/3.9 euro) apiece. The shares represent 89.37% of the total issued and outstanding Nevsun shares on a fully diluted basis.
In addition, pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws, Zijin has extended the period shareholders of Nevsun have to tender their shares under the offer by 10 days to January 7.
In September, Zijin offered $1.41 billion (1.24 billion euro) to acquire Nevsun, the 100% owner of the high-grade copper-gold Timok Upper Zone and 60.4% owner of the Timok Lower Zone in Serbia.

What you need to know before you go
Stockholm's reputation as a snow-and-noir-tinged capital of imposing architecture, pale dusks, and moon-struck nights is at best a half-truth. There's certainly a classical touch to the hippest of the Nordic cities, but beneath the cozy cafes, pristine winter mornings, and long summer evenings, is a vibrant not-so-secret modern city. From trendy Södermalm to fairytale-esque Gamla Stan, Stockholm offers a multitude of truly original delights.
Adventurous types might want to tour Stockholm's islands by kayak, while amblers will enjoy strolling its leafy boulevards, as its waterside location means a breathtaking view could be waiting around any corner.

FY18 Annual Report
Message to Our Supporters
At the heart of the Maymont Foundation, we are committed to creating experiences that delight, educate and inspire. That's why, in Fiscal Year 2018, we updated the Maymont mission to reflect that promise. The mission is supported by newly established guiding principles to remain true to the Dooleys' vision of Maymont as a park and museum for everyone, serve as an exceptional asset to the City of Richmond and its citizens, and foster community engagement, citizen leadership and private philanthropy to ensure that Maymont's purpose endures.
In support of the updated mission and principles, Maymont staff and the board of directors worked to develop and begin implementing an updated strategic plan. We took steps to enhance the guest experience with new signage, new educational programs and easier opportunities for on-site digital donations. Ideas emerged to grow awareness of Maymont and its countless offerings, and initiatives were developed to keep Maymont thriving into the future.
Last fiscal year also marked the 125th anniversary of the completion of the Maymont Mansion, the centerpiece of the 100-acre estate and a prominent symbol of the original owners' extraordinary gift to us. The Dooleys surely would be pleased to see that, true to their will, the mansion is now "a museum for the benefit and pleasure of the people of Richmond" (and for tourists from around the globe).
As we look forward to Maymont's next chapter, we continue to turn to this original vision for guidance. Maymont is here for the people. It's here for everyone to enjoy unique and wonderful experiences like the exciting happenings mentioned in the highlights below. Thank you for all you do to make that possible.

Arquillian Drone Extension 1.2.0.Alpha3 Released
Since we wrote this post we didn't laze around. Check our latest announcement.
The Arquillian team is proud to announce the 1.2.0.Alpha3 release of the Arquillian Drone Extension component!
This release brings you PhantomJS binary auto resolution and a major update of SPI's for extension creators.
Significant changes since 1.2.0.Alpha2
- Support for PhantomJS binary auto resolution
The PhantomJS binary is now automatically resolved if it's not found using the
phantomjs.binary.pathproperty. So you don't have to specify this property anymore.arquillian.xml
<extension qualifier="webdriver">
<property name="browserCapabilities">phantomjs</property>
- New SPI Model
If you are writing your own Arquillian extension and you would like to use Arquillian Drone, it is now much simpler. Drone exposes events for browser configuration, creation, enrichement, enhancement and disposal, giving you full control of its lifecycle. If you have used the old SPI model, there are now other interfaces you might need to implement.
- Updated to WebDriver 2.33.0
Arquillian Drone uses WebDriver 2.33.0 by default. You can still use
selenium-bomto override the WebDriver versions if needed.
Drone is now based on top of Arquillian Core 1.1.1.Final. Please update your
<dependencyManagement> sections if you're using Arquillian BOM (artifactId:
arquillian-bom) together with Arquillian Drone BOM.
I'd like to thank everybody involved in this release. You guys make testing a breeze!
We hope that you'll enjoy the improvements and look forward to hear your feedback in the community forums.
What is Arquillian?
Arquillian is open source software that empowers you to test JVM-based applications more effectively. Created to defend the software galaxy from bugs, Arquillian brings your test to the runtime so you can focus on testing your application's behavior rather than managing the runtime. Using Arquillian, you can develop a comprehensive suite of tests from the convenience of your IDE and run them in any IDE, build tool or continuous integration environment.
