About Us
The foundation for DGR Engineering was laid in 1952, when a young electrical engineer named John DeWild left his job at Rock Rapids Utilities to pursue his dreams. Soon after, he met with electrical engineer Dick Grant. A simple handshake built a business and partnership that would last for decades. In 1954 Bob Reckert was added to the expanding engineering firm, and together they formed DeWild Grant Reckert and Associates Company, known today as
DGR Engineering.
Sixty-six years after that single handshake, DGR maintains the same spirit of passion, advancement and partnership on which the company was built. With more than 120 professionals, forty-five of whom are shareholders, and five locations in the upper Midwest, DGR looks forward to many more decades of helping businesses, schools and communities grow, and building the foundation for every day.
DGR Engineering has been selected for a Top Workplaces honor by The Des Moines Register in both 2018 and 2019. The list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by research partner Energage, LLC, a leading provider of technology-based employee engagement tools. The anonymous survey measures several aspects of workplace culture, including alignment, execution, and connection, just to name a few.
"We are happy that, for the second year in a row, we have confirmation from our employees that DGR Engineering is a great place to work," said Blair Metzger, President of DGR Engineering. "The 130 employees of the company who live in the tri-state area live out every day our motto of providing "Trusted. Professional. Solutions." by doing meaningful work for a great group of clients throughout the Upper Midwest. We continually strive to be an employer of choice for this region, and we are gratified that we are fulfilling that goal."
"Top Workplaces is more than just recognition," said Doug Claffey, CEO of Energage. "Our research shows organizations that earn the award attract better talent, experience lower turnover, and are better equipped to deliver bottom-line results. Their leaders prioritize and carefully craft a healthy workplace culture that supports employee engagement."
"Becoming a Top Workplace isn't something organizations can buy," Claffey said. "It's an achievement that organizations have worked for and a distinction that gives them a competitive advantage. It's a big deal."
PSMJ Resources, Inc. has recognized the eighteen firms that are Platinum Award winners, which have remained on the Circle of Excellence list for at least four of the past five years.
The Circle of Excellence is comprised of the top 20% of participants – across thirteen key performance indicators – in PSMJ's 2018 A/E Financial Performance Benchmark Survey Report. Earlier this month, PSMJ Resources, Inc., announced the seventy-two exceptional architecture and engineering firms that made it onto the 2018 Circle of Excellence list.
PSMJ designed the Circle of Excellence to highlight the best-in-class architecture and engineering firms that demonstrate outstanding achievements in areas such as low staff turnover, operating overhead rate and labor utilization.
"The firms recognized in the Circle of Excellence set the standard for outstanding and sustainable business results," says Frank A. Stasiowski, FAIA, Founder and CEO of PSMJ Resources. "The Platinum Award winners go to the next level and continue to set the standard for the industry year after year."
This is the fifth year in a row that DGR Engineering has been selected to the Circle of Excellence, and the second consecutive year being named a Platinum Award winner.
About PSMJ: For more than 40 years, PSMJ Resources, Inc. has been recognized as the leading publishing, executive education, and advisory group devoted completely to improving the business performance of A/E/C organizations worldwide. PSMJ's sought-after expertise covers a range of critical business areas such as project management, financial management, human resources, business development, transition planning, and mergers and acquisitions.
DGR Engineering has once again been honored by PSMJ Resources as one of seventy-two exceptional architecture and engineering firms named into the Circle of Excellence. This is the sixth consecutive year that DGR Engineering has earned this award.
PSMJ's Circle of Excellence is designed to highlight firms that are successfully managed and demonstrate outstanding achievements in areas such as productivity, business development, staff growth, staff turnover, and overhead management.
PSMJ's Circle of Excellence honorees are chosen based on 13 business metrics important to the successful operation of an engineering business. Firms considered for this designation are evaluated by comparing the firms' metrics against industry benchmarks developed through evaluation of data provided by participating firms.
"DGR Engineering has been selected for this honor six years in a row, illustrating a consistent pattern of operation during that time" says Blair Metzger, DGR Engineering President. "Receiving this honor is a result of being entrusted by our many loyal clients to provide solutions to their needs, along with the efforts of dedicated staff members who have made DGR Engineering the employer of choice in this region. Ultimately, our success relies on our ability to recruit and retain the types of talented employees that we've been able to assemble, who then are able to apply those talents on behalf of our valued clients."
"Each year, the Circle of Excellence firms come from all corners of the A/E space. This diversity demonstrates that success isn't defined by a specific firm size, location, or market niche," says Frank A. Stasiowski, FAIA, Founder and CEO of PSMJ Resources. "The top-performing firms just think and act differently from the rest of the pack to achieve extraordinary business performance."
"The firms recognized in the Circle of Excellence set the standard for outstanding and sustainable business results," says Stasiowski. "Some firms have been in this prestigious group year after year!"
Since PSMJ created the award in 2006, Circle of Excellence members have consistently represented all industry facets. "The key differentiator between PSMJ's Circle of Excellence and other industry awards is that all firms in the A/E industry are eligible. Members are not rewarded for a single outcome, but on thirteen factors that drive the overall performance of a firm," says Dave Burstein, P.E., Senior Principal at PSMJ. "This award recognizes those firms that are not only good at their practices but also at running their practices as businesses."

Be Joyful, Pray and Give Thanks
"Be Joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
1 Thessalonians 5:16, 17, 18
As you do God's will, you will find it easier to be joyful and thankful. You must make a conscious decision to do what He commands. Be joyful, pray and give thanks. As you do these three simple acts you will begin to see people and circumstances in a new perspective.
As you realize the presence of the Holy Spirit in you and your dependence on His guidance, you will have a deep desire to obey Him. You will find in natural to pray frequent short prayers. You will begin to trust the Holy Spirit more and more. You will be genuinely thankful for His presence. You will know without any doubt that He will accomplish good through all circumstances.
You must avoid tempting situations and concentrate on obeying God. Persevere in intercessory prayer. Jesus Christ, the interceding High Priest will work and pray in and through you.
Family is liked a crammed bus at an airport where people are thrown together by chance on a short journey, saying as little as possible. The only difference is you'll eventually get off the bus and never see these folks again. With difficult relative, this isn't so. They'll be there at family reunions Christmas, Thanksgiving, weddings and funerals.
Did you know that Jesus had a difficult family? And it may surprise you to know that Jesus' family didn't appreciate him. However, He didn't try to control His family's behavior, nor did He let their behavior control Him. He didn't demand that they agree with Him. He didn't sulk when they insulted Him. He didn't make it His mission to try to please them.
When Jesus' family didn't share His convictions, He didn't try to force them. He recognized that His spiritual family could provide what His physical family didn't. If Jesus Himself couldn't force his family share His convictions, what makes you think you can force yours?
Your family may never give you the blessing you seek, but God will. Be joyful, pray continually and give thanks for your family even though they may never affirm you. Let your Heavenly Father take their place.

Marianne Glick: Inspired by Music
First Friday: August 2, 6 - 9 pm
Like many artists, Marianne Glick often listens to music while she paints, allowing the flowing, organic, and expressive movement to inform her colorful abstractions. The energy from the music is clearly transferred into her acrylic on canvas neo-expressionist paintings as is apparent in the image opposite this text, Slip Sliding Away – which she created while listening to the Paul Simon tune. For her solo exhibition in Gallery 924, the new artwork will have yet another musical layer. Glick is a fan and supporter of the Cabaret, our neighbors just feet away, and often attends to hear her favorite Broadway stars perform. For this new body of work, she chose to focus on the Cabaret style music the venue champions, with a special emphasis on the Broadway actor/singer Caissie Levy who is set to perform at the Cabaret in August. Look to see new work from Glick as she visually explores the music of Broadway resulting in colorful abstractions created in Glick's signature style.

About The Kensington
There's a sense, on being welcomed through the double-framed doors of The Kensington hotel by a bowler-hatted doorman, of stepping back in time to a more genteel, service-oriented age. Certainly, the hotel's luxurious white stucco façade – a collection of four 19 thcentury townhouses in this most chic, cosmopolitan and cultured of London neighbourhoods – and the Victorian grandeur of its high ceilings, heritage décor and open fireplaces evoke something of a bygone era.
Yet just as vivid is an immediate sense of vibrant, contemporary confidence that emanates from the modern yet understated design. Here London society comes together – be it for afternoon tea in the light and lively drawing rooms, cocktails in the glamorous K Bar, or dinner in the refined Townhouse restaurant. Throughout this engaging environment, the attentive, familiar staff of The Kensington Hotel provide the personal welcome.

Council offer to listen to residents
The Brackenbury Residents Association, a normally mild mannered well-to-do marmalade making residents group has been foremost in the fight against Council decisions to award large parts of their neighbourhood to property developers. In fact the planning inquiry on the Goldhawk Block is due to start within weeks at the Town Hall, thanks to the intervention of the now re-elected Andy Slaughter MP
Cllr Greenhalgh has written to Richard Winterton, the residents associations' architect to report that:
'1- Funding has now been put in place to support setting up the design review panel, an enhanced programme of planning forums, and staffing to deal with this and improving the website. A timetable of meetings for potential schemes is being prepared - for the panel and the forums.
'2- Officers are looking at the planning website with a view to making it more user friendly and work is in hand to include further information.
'3- Planning briefs will be developed on a site by site basis, based on policies and standards of the statutory development plan. I do not envisage a process for public involvement in the preparation of development briefs.'
So it looks like some lessons may have been learned after all. Residents say they are keeping "a close eye" on things to see how the Council proceeds but the launch of a design review panel does on the face of it look like a positive step forward. So credit to the Council for listening - a good start to the new administration.

AppId is over the quota
Minecraft Snapshot 12w30b Download Free | Minecraft.Jar Client and Minecraft Server.Jar or EXE !
We're getting really close to the 1.3 release now, and need to check that everything runs as expected. The plan is to release one or two snapshots, and then the 1.3 pre-release by Wednesday or Thursday. The pre-release is intended to be identical to the official release next week, in order to give modmakers and server admins a week's head start. That's why we need to do a snapshot first, since we can't do changes to the update after the pre-release is out.
This snapshot consists of all the bugfixes that Nathan (@dinnerbone) and Eric (@_grum) have been working on the last two weeks. Get it here:
Client: Minecraft.jar - ClientServer: Minecraft Server.jar (or EXE)If you havent downloaded Minecraft you can grab it here: www.minecraft.net/download
Please note that the snapshot jar doesn't need to be extracted or unpacked in any way, you simply replace the minecraft.jar file that is located in the ".minecraft/bin" folder.
// The Minecraft Team
UPDATE: There was a bug that prevented people from interacting with blocks (right-clicking) which has been fixed. We also fixed a null pointer exception. The links above have been updated to point to the new version (12w30b).

Ko Shing Theatre (1st generation) [c.1875-1927]
Primary tabs
Little known about this theatre, it appears on a 1870's photo.
There it says: The western-style building, on the extreme left, is Ko Shing Theatre, popular at the time with patrons of Chinese opera.
Ko Shing Theatre (1st generation)
Greetings, and thanks Klaus for creating this place-page for the Ko Shing Theatre (1st generation). And the 1870 photo, I can't believe the early water's edge was so far inland compared to that of today. Information from the Cinema Treasures site - http://cinematreasures.org/theaters/19087 :
1. first generation building was built at an unknown date before 21st December 1878.
2. it was demolished in April 1927 for being an unsafe structure.
(The 8-year span is quite long, so this could be a case where the life-span of the building did not coincide with its operating period.)
3. the rebuilt theatre (2nd generation) operated during the period July 30, 1928 - March 16, 1972.
Second generation page - https://gwulo.com/node/34666
Edit - September 28, 2018 - Ko Shing Theatre = 高陞戲院

The one hard part to renting a unit is figuring out which unit will meet your requirements and after that decision is done, there is little left to carry out. The four easy steps are calling, placing your order, filling it and getting it picked up to be emptied. Dumpster Rental is much easier than many people think.
Features to Consider When Renting a Roll-Off Container

roll off containers

In determining which unit is best, take the amount of space you've got into mind. Carefully consider the way your unit is going to be delivered and used to be sure your selection accommodates your preferences.
Selecting Your Unit
It is important to consider when looking to find
roll off containers
in Ohio that you rent the appropriate one to make sure that you won't be required to pay more for a second one later. Measure out the space you need to house a unit.

We reached the club on the Island part of the state. We walked inside and I was surprised we were not even disturbed by the presence of bouncer at the entrance. They greeted her like they have known her for long and I am quite sure that they actually knew her.
We walked inside majestically and the look they gave to me wasn't really nice, but I didn't really care. We walked in to meet an already crowded hall that was filled with young girls and guys, dancing away themselves. I quickly smiled as I walked past them. The asses I was seeing was good enough to make an impotent man fully erect. Majority of the ladies stared at me and tried coming closer but Madam Graced grabbed my hands as we walked past the crowd of young people having fun.
We climbed a stair as we finally got to a place I assumed was a VIP section. It was my first time of coming to a club and I was amazed at what a club finally looked like.
'What about the other guys?' I asked her. The way she mumbled up words, I didn't bother asking her again for more explanations.
I guess she had been a regular visitor in this VIP section because the way she moved around the room made me end such conclusion. She made some little calls and when I tried to pay attention to them, she stared at me in disapproval and shifted quite far from where I was.
'Who were you calling that you moved away from where I was?' I asked trying to act as if I should be in control
'Why do you want to know' She responded back almost immediately with a smirk on her face.
'I need to know who my baby is calling' I asked back harmlessly. 'Go and lock that door' She replied and she drew her skirt up a bit and I was able to see her vigay mound.
'Wow' I whispered as I inhaled a deep breath. I quickly stood up and went towards the door, locking it with all seriousness. I came back and saw a sight so heavenly and maverlous. She signaled to me and asked me to come forward, pointing to the hole between her legs. It was actually covered with a white pant but was transparent enough to allow me see the lips between the hips.
'Come and have a taste of it' She whispered in a low voice. I stood out there for a while, staring at what I would love to devour within the next few seconds. My jeans trouser was already protruding and was fighting to contain the monster embedded inside of it. It kept shaking and nodding it's head vigorously and was asking for permission to come out and have it's night meal. She used the tip of her finger to separate the pant form it position and there was I having a view that was clearer that spring water. I walked up in style towards her and I tilted slight and landed a kiss on her lips before she held my head and pointed it downwards towards her legs.
The sour taste of the lips between her hips made me wanted more of it. She rubbed the clit vigorously as I inserted my tongues deep down into the reddish hole. She squeezed every part of my head as she forced me to enter deeper with my tongue. I was almost chocking due to lack of oxygen there. It became so intense that she almost started pulling of my shirt from my body.
Her yellow sweet laps and pvssy was all I wanted as I quickly stood up and adjusted my zip, while she remained in position with her legs wide opened. I brought out my rod as I teased her with her with it. I had barely penetrated, when I heard a heavy bang on the door.
'Dress up fast' She hurried as I quickly adjusted my trouser back again, as she stood up and adjusted her pants. My dicck was visibly still erect as I tried to sit and adjusted while she went for the door.
I saw 4 men and one young lady come in. The two guys I saw in the car while we headed to this club was also among them. They exchanged pleasantries as I maintained my sitting position.
'Is this the guy?' One of the guys asked
"Yes" Madam Grace answered as he looked my direction and asked me to come over. I didn't even know what was going on because I wasn't prepared to know. I came to have fun and that was what I was after. The man shook me and introduced himself as Paul.
'Nice to meet you Mr. Paul'
"Nice to meet you too" He chipped in as I went back to my seat.
"Have you briefed him?" The man asked as I immediately turned back to know exactly what they wanted to brief me about
"Errmm…. Don't worry, go back to the seat, I will handle it" Madam Grace said to me as I slowly walked back to the seat confused. I saw how the other guys and girls stared at me while I was seated, and the only way to remove such attention was to operate my phone. I tried fondling with my phone, but I saw how they still kept looking at me stylishly and discussing in low voices. My heartbeat was already on the increase and I was starting to sweat lightly in an A.C powered room.
I could imagine some voices in my head, telling me how I was going to be slaughtered like a Christmas goat or most likely, how they would use me for some rituals. I was visibly feeling uncomfortable till the only lady among them came closer and sat by my side.
"How are you?" She asked with a smile.
"Fine" I replied, trying so hard to create a smile.
"Are you okay?" She asked when she noticed I wasn't being myself
"Why should I be okay when you guys are trying to use me for rituals, or most like; trying to sell me off to people that will kill me" I whispered inside my heart without showing any expression.
'Yea! I am fine' I said as I finally regained my smile. Well, the smile didn't come cheaply but seeing that cleavage showing from the little space between her shirt zip, I had no option than to smile. I guess she knew I was having a good look at them, and she positioned herself properly.
'Get out from that place jare' Madam Grace yelled at her when she finally came into the room with Mr. Paul
'Sorry ooo' She apologized reluctantly as she said goodbye and went over to the other side.
Mr. Paul pointing to one of the guys, quickly ordered him to go and get the box and bring it to the table. I was trying so hard not to seem interested because this wasn't the reason I was here.
"Excuse me Ma' I requested from Madam Grace
'Did he call you Ma?' Mr. Paul asked jokingly as everyone fell into a wild laughter. I was embarrassed but still managed to keep a smiling face.
"I thought we came here to dance and other stuff? What is happening na" I asked confused
"Dance Ke" She replied like she has never heard the word in her existence before
"Did I tell you that we were here to dance?" She asked surprised
Well I think she was right. I never knew what I was coming to the club to do, and a matter of fact, I didn't ask. I only assumed that since it is a club, that it would be associated with dancing and touching of the female ass with my dicck.
"We will still dance, but let us finish first" She replied as she kissed my cheek and went back to where Mr. Paul was seated. The two guys finally surfaced with a box that was average in size.
"Open it na" Mr. Paul commanded them. It was finally opened and I had to look because I was so tempted to look. Lo and Behold, it was …

Mr Landlord - Has your letting Agent informed you or offered advice about the tax changes announced earlier this year ? If not why not !
I also believe that all landlords and property investors should speak to their accountant or financial advisor about these changes
Belvoir Dunstable recently held an information evening for our landlords and their friends to keep them informed on the changes recently announced that will affect their income from rental property in the coming years.

I also believe that all landlords and property investors should speak to their accountant or financial advisor. Alternatively contact one of the speakers I had on the night whose contact details are below.

My wife and I just had our first baby almost 4 weeks ago (Haley Jane, if you're curious). Obviously, going into this whole thing, we had all kinds of questions, and felt like we needed to get some good guidance on how to make sure we don't screw up this little human that we're bringing into the world.
Over the course of the 9 month journey toward parenthood, we read three books that have made these first 4 weeks so much easier than it could have otherwise been. Just last night, our daughter slept through the night for the first time…at 4 weeks! So, without further ado, the three books that we read, that I think every parent-to-be should read. The piece of mind and confidence that these books give you is priceless.
Babywise, by Gary Ezzo and Robert Bucknam, is all about getting your infant to sleep through the night, by way of getting them on a predictable feeding and napping schedule throughout the day. The authors discuss the different approaches to feeding: Child-Led feeding, Clock Feeding, and their approach, Parent-Directed Feeding, which is a blend of paying attention to hunger cues, to the clock, and parental assessment.
They cover in depth the science behind sleep and how feeding affects sleeping, and offer detailed schedules for feeding and sleeping from 2 weeks through a year. Their approach uses "merges" to merge separate feedings at night until you've merged all the middle-of-the-night feedings out, and are sleeping through the night.
This book goes pretty deep into some of the science, and certainly offers a deep explanation about the why behind their schedule-based approach.
Moms on Call
Moms On Call is another book that's based around the notion of scheduling, but is far more of a handbook than an exhaustive resource in the science of feeding and sleeping. Thus, this book makes a perfect companion to Babywise, as the two compliment each other quite nicely.
Moms On Call is brief, with short little "chapters" covering everything from sleep, to feeding, to dealing with sick kids, to skin care. It's quite exhaustive, but brief on each of the topics. This format is awesome. It's the perfect reference book for those early weeks, since you can easily turn to a section and quickly get up to speed on the basics for almost anything that would happen with your baby.
This book also features detailed schedules, and we found ourselves following their schedules more than Babywise, simply due to the detail they go into (while the rest of the book is brief, the schedule component is quite detailed). The authors also have a website (and service, based in Atlanta) where they feature videos about how to swaddle, diaper changing, and other important items. A fantastic resource.
The Happiest Baby on the Block
Harvey Karp's book is one of the books that I get recommended to me most often. His book is about soothing crying babies (particularly those with Colic), and goes into detail about crying and how to settle little ones down. His focus, like the other two, is on helping them calm down so they can sleep better as well.
Perhaps most famous in Karp's book is the 5 S's, which is his framework for how to calm a crying baby: Swaddle, Side/Stomach Position, Shhhhhhing sounds, Swinging and Sucking. These 5 techniques are based in recreating the atmosphere of the uterus, which leads into one of central theses of the book: that babies are actually missing a fourth trimester, which is, in his view, the true cause of colic.
Just for the 5 S's alone, this book is a must read. These little tricks have saved us (and our daughter) from hours of misery.
Buy Happiest Baby on the Block on Amazon
Becoming a new parent is a shock to the system, to say the least. It's a huge period of adjustment for you and your little one, and any help you can get from folks who've done it before and know what they're talking about is worth seeking out. Of all the resources and tips we've gotten over the past 10 months, these books have been elevated in our household to absolutely critical status.
If you're a new parent, about to be, or just want to figure out how to calm your baby and get them to sleep through the night, don't miss these books!

Patients can go in for FUT or FUE, but each technique has its advantages and disadvantages. Hair transplant in Bhopal is taken to be a permanent solution for hair loss and the benefits are seen from the patients who have had hair transplant procedures.
The advantages of FUE
FUE leaves no linear scar which may be visible to others- a linear scar is only created in FUT and there are no sutures made
It is a minimally invasive technique- there is limited bleeding and incisions made in the scalp
It is for both men and women- men and women can all benefit from this technique since it leaves no visible scars
Natural looking hair line- this is because it is an advanced procedure where artistry is used
Advantages of FUT
It produces a greater density- this is because more hair grafts are implanted
There is a higher rate of graft survival- a special solution is used to keep the hair grafts at the right temperature until they are implanted
More hair grafts are extracted in the shortest period of time- since a strip is used

Regulatory Watch
IDFA, NMPF oppose interstate sale of raw milk
June 4, 2014
Dairy producers and dairy processors have found another issue on which they agree. The National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) and the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA), which represents manufacturers, are jointly opposing the proposed Interstate Milk Freedom Act of 2014. Sponsored by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), the bill would repeal a long-standing ban on the sale of unpasteurized milk across state lines. Currently, states regulate the sale of raw milk within their borders.
"If this measure passes, those most vulnerable to dangerous pathogens—children—are the ones who will suffer the most. The benefits of consuming raw milk are illusory, but the painful costs of illness and death are very real," says Jim Mulhern, president and CEO of NMPF.
Connie Tipton, president and CEO of IDFA, says milk products currently enjoy a high degree of consumer confidence, but that expanding the sale of raw milk could undermine that confidence.
I want to hear from you. Tell me how we can improve.

I have been using this filter in my keyers to clean up the keyer sidetone (converts it to a clean sinewave with roughly 5 msec rise and fall times). I tap off the output of the filter stage to send to Mumble. I mix the audio coming back from Mumble with the sinewave sidetone in the audio amp stage so the speaker / headphones sound pretty much the same as a QSK transceiver. I thought I would post this in case anyone wants to give it a try with their keyers. I really like the convenience for iCW: same keyer / kbd that keys the rig used for iCW; two audio cables from keyer to sound card; and Mumble.
The filter instructions discuss leaving out two resistors (R11/R12 I think, going from memory) and replacing with the 100K volume pot. It is easy to patch in the extra 10K resistor between the pot and the LM386 input, and to patch in the second 10K / pot for the received audio. You then have three audio taper panel mount pots, one for drive level to the sound card and two volume controls for sidetone volume and RX audio volume.

Help us to support others – donate now and change a lifeDonate now

Our fundraiser of the week is Nicola, who has completed a sponsored skydive on behalf of our charity. So far her fundraiser has managed to raise us an incredible £551.
When speaking about her reasons for fundraising, Nicola tells us that "I chose Action for M.E. because of a dear friend who inspires me every day. Despite being the same age, we live very different lives. Whilst I have the ability to plan months ahead, book trips abroad, run around with my daughter, she is hoping that she will feel well enough to shower, make a meal or see a friend. 13 years later and I still admire her resilience and if anything, she has taught me that life is what you make it, it's all about attitude.
"M.E. affects approximately 250,000 people in the UK yet it's not a disease we hear a lot about but getting the right help and care can really improve a person's quality of life. This isn't just fundraising for the charity but I also want to raise awareness for this invisible but debilitating disease."
We'd like to thank Nicola for supporting the work that we do. You can find her JustGiving page here.

Bolivia launches World Peoples' Climate Summit at UNFCCC talks in Bonn
Bolivia launches World Peoples' Climate Summit at UNFCCC talks in Bonn
Media advisory
Pablo Solon, Bolivia's ambassador to the UN, at a press conference during UNFCCC negotiations in Bonn on 10 April condemned continued attempts by some developed countries to impose a deeply flawed Copenhagen Accord as the basis for future negotiations: "The only way to get negotiations back on track not just for Bolivia or other countries, but for all of life, biodiversity, our Mother Earth is to put civil society back into the process."
Solon explained it was this belief that motivated Bolivia to host an historic World Peoples' Summit on Climate Change and Rights of Mother Earth on 19-22 April 2010 to which more than 15,000 people and up to 70 governments are expected to attend.
"The central aim of any climate summit is not to save itself and accept any outcome, but to come to an agreement that will save humanity."
Solon said that the Copenhagen Accord sadly marked a "backwards step" so could never be acceptable as a basis for further negotiations. Solon pointed out that the European Union's own analysis of the Copenhagen Accord admitted that it would lead to an increase of temperatures of up to four or five degrees.
"This is no kind of solution. Yet at these talks [in Bonn] we never hear developed nations admitting concern over this. Instead the US claims this is the best agreement we have had. Are we really willing to say that allowing temperatures to rise to four or five degrees is a good goal?"
Solon reiterated the demands of many developing nations by calling on industrialized nations to rebuild trust. "You cannot rebuild trust by legalizing the same methods that led to the failure in Copenhagen." Solon called for talks to be returned to the full UNFCCC process, and to develop on what had been agreed in COP15.
Solon commenting on news that the US and Denmark were withdrawing aid from countries like Bolivia for their opposition to the Copenhagen Accord said, "This in their rights, but unfair and clearly an attempt to punish Bolivia. What kind of negotiation is it where you lose money if you disagree?" Solon said that Bolivia would not back down due to such threats. "We are a country with dignity and sovereignty and will maintain our position."

The Peoples' World Conference on Climate Change and Rights of Mother Earth was announced by President Evo Morales of Bolivia in the aftermath of the widely denounced outcomes of the Copenhagen UNFCCC conference in December 2009. The aim of the conference is to advance an agenda led by civil society organizations and in dialogue with proactive governments dedicated to preventing climate change. The conference aims to analyze the structural causes of climate change, and develop specific proposals and actions for addressing it.
Bolivia has invited all 192 governments in the UN to attend the conference and is working closely with the United Nations Development Program to bring representatives from nearly all the 49 Least Developed Countries (LDCs), whose populations will be most vulnerable to climate change. Spain, Russia and France have also indicated that they will send representatives and others are still confirming.
Amongst the confirmed speakers are NASA scientist Jim Hansen, Bill McKibben, environmental journalist and leader of 350.org, Indian environmentalist Vandana Shiva, best-selling author Naomi Klein, Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano, Miguel D'Escoto, former President of UN General Assembly, Lumumba Di-Aping, lead negotiator for the G77 at Copenhagen, American actor, director and activist Danny Glover along with leaders from leading environmental organizations and communities at the frontline of climate change.
All media and journalists are warmly encouraged to come to Bolivia to cover this event. Registration is free and can be done at the conference website at http://cmpcc.org/ (Spanish) or http://pwccc.wordpress.com/ (English)
VIDEOS: U.N. Ambassador Pablo Solon, from Bolivia, is inviting all the governments
of the world and interested NGOs to a conference, on April 20 to 22, 2010,
to discuss the "Structural Changes for the Environment".

I am really curious what the outcome of this will be. Maybe the gas problem will end with the increase of other bio resource. But I guess that will be a moment when turbolence will start over the lithium resources in the area.
Electric car, alternative energies, but unfortunately same political problems..

text: There are dark forces at work within the Labour Party, the British media and social media, where people purporting to represent Jeremy Corbyn – are in fact working to undermine him continuously and insidiously. Misrepresenting Marxism in-particularly, and British Socialism generally, is part and parcel of this neo-liberal agenda, which is designed to confuse and deceive the working class – creating the conditions where disempowered and misled workers will vote for anyone, even against their own class interests. Genuine Corbyn supporters should be aware that he was very much mentored in the Labour Party by the great Tony Benn, and anyone with a modicum of common-sense, understands that Karl Marx (1818-1883) is considered a towering intellectual figure whose critique of capitalism cannot be dismissed or ignored by any serious economist or sociologist – although many try to turn a blind eye. Although Socialism existed in its 'utopic' (i.e. 'religious') form before Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels formulated their theory of Scientific Socialism, it was the insightful and creative genius of Karl Marx that thoroughly ripped apart the capitalist system exposing its corrupt core and revealing its festering functionality. In fact, the capitalist classes have never recovered from the sheer historical (and dialectical) intellectual power that Marx unleashed upon the world. This is why the bourgeoisie – that is the 'middle class' that owns the means of production – must attack continuously any and all manifestations of Marxism, be it in the Labour Party, or throughout history. The main weapons employed for this task are lying and misrepresentation, as well as character assassination and 'actual' assassination (as employed by the CIA). Within social media, if you look carefully, you will see posts on pro-Corbyn sites written by people purportedly 'supporting' Jeremy Corbyn, that are in fact engaged in the process of ever so subtly discrediting him and his supporters. Of course, in a typically bourgeois (and hypocritical) manner, this behaviour is tolerated and justified as an exercise in 'freedom of expression', and even packaged as the 'cut and thrust' of genuine debate, when in fact it is nothing than a concerted attack upon the left, designed to further the neo-liberal cause. Be aware of this behaviour and counter it through direct exposure, for when brought into the light of day, it loses much of its coercive power.

Mom to
Baby, May 2009 at 5 weeks
Baby, November 2009 at 7-8 weeks
Glory Angel born still on September 14, 2010 at 19 weeks
Orlando, Fl
May 2009, 5 Weeks.
I have had a few very early miscarriages 2 before we started trying to have children, one in between my two girls and then another in May of 2009, they all occur shortly after a positive pregnancy test somewhere between 38 and 44 days. After the loss in May we were told to wait two cycles before we tried again. It took us a little longer to get pregnant this time as my husband travels.
November 2009 7-8 Weeks.
Finally in October I was thrilled to have a positive pregnancy test! I think I took 4 as the last time in May they were all very faint. The test were dark and lit up right away! I counted down the days past 38,39,40,41,44...finally the day came for my first doctors appointment and ultrasound. I was nervous because I had no morning sickness with this pregnancy. I had kept a journal with all of my pregnancies and was already sick and on medication at this point in my pregnancy. That should have been my first warning sign that something wasn't right.
I have always clung to something I read that if you see the heart beat there is only a 2% chance of miscarriage from that point. I sat down for my ultra-sound and was so relieved to see that little heart beat. But that was short lived. Unfortunately there were pools of blood around the baby and the heart beat was only 86 beats per minute. It should have been around 120 BPM.
The baby was also only measuring 6 weeks when I was 7 weeks and 3 days. I was told it would be a 50/50 chance of survival.I went home with such a mix of feelings. I just prayed that if God wanted me to have this baby he or she would be healthy but ultimately it was His will.My appointment was on a Monday, Tuesday evening I was walking up the stairs and I felt a couple drops, I ran to the bathroom and I had begun to bleed. Wednesday morning I started having cramping I called the doctors office and they had me come in for another ultra-sound. I went in and sadly my baby was still alive, but barely. Now the heart rate was only 46 beats per minute. This was horrible, the thought that this little baby inside me was loosing it's fight to stay alive and there was nothing I could do about it. They informed me that unfortunately this was probably going to be a long process. They couldn't do a D&C as the baby was still a viable life, of which I completely understood and agreed with. I was just so upset that this couldn't end quickly, it took 3 days to miscarry.
May 14,2010 Glory Angel Cruz 19 Weeks:
I have an ultra-sound picture that shows Glory at just 12 weeks old, saying high to us. Little did I know this would be the last time I would see him alive. At my 16 week appointment we had a healthy 146 BPM heart rate. He measured within days of my due date and everything was on track. I look back now and there were signs of what was to come. I got a phone call a couple days later from my doctor which freaked me out, he'd never called me personally before. He told me that the Alpha Protein test had come back elevated for Spina Bifida. The result was 2.7, 2.5 is the highest it can be for normal. I wasn't worried I told him, our first pregnancy had the same result, in fact I think she was 3.5 and Kieran was born a healthy 7 pounds 3 weeks early. I was scheduled for a special fetal ultra-sound two weeks later. I woke up September 13th, 2010 the day of the scan and went to the bathroom. My first major sign something was wrong is I had some very light brown discharge. I'm not one to have any color in my discharge with a healthy pregnancy. All of the miscarriages I've had start with this. I looked down at my belly and even though I think it had been in the back of my mind for weeks, I knew my belly wasn't as big as it had been a few weeks ago. I recently had been able to sleep on my belly, when I laid down it was sunken down. I put on regular jeans and just prayed that maybe I'd just be going from the scan to bed rest to wait out the next 20 weeks. I remember praying on the way to the hospital "please God don't test me with the loss of this baby" but quickly I said to Him, but if it is your will, give me peace. I arrived at Winnie Palmer Hospital, I happily told the tech that I wasn't too worried about Spina Bifida as we'd had this before. She asked me if we knew the sex yet and I said no, not yet. She got busy with the scan. She did say that there wasn't much amniotic fluid and asked if I had been leaking. I said no not at all, just the discharge that morning. I asked her what could cause this and she said a variety of things. And then I saw her measure our baby's leg, 16.5 weeks, I was 19 weeks (well according to my calculations 20 weeks and 1 day). I stopped her and said, can you check the heartbeat. She pulled the scan over and there was no heartbeat, no blood flow. I sat there in shock, I think I knew, but didn't want it to be true. How could I have gone from having 2 miscarriages in a row, be told at my 8 week appointment with this pregnancy that it's a keeper, and be this far along and loose the baby. All we wanted was one more child to complete our family. Then the doctor came in and took a look, she showed me that the brain had started to sink and most likely the baby had passed a week or two ago.
She informed me that I would have to come back to the hospital within the next week and be induced to deliver the baby. Another blow to me because the last baby I lost at 8 weeks I had to wait to miscarry because there was still a heart beat, though it was only 40 beats per minute. Not to say that I wanted either of them taken out, but it was such a painful process that took over 2 days of contractions and bleeding before I miscarried the baby.My husband was in Washington DC, so I had to call him and tell him that our baby had passed away. He flew home and we scheduled the induction for the following morning.
On Tuesday September 14th, 2010 we arrived at the hospital at 8am. We were upset when we found out they weren't expecting me, because of a mix up with the Ultra-Sound Doctor and my OB/GYN office. I sat down in the waiting room of the hospital watching pregnant woman, after pregnant woman walk in with their full swollen bellies, and looked down to my shrinking belly and just cried. The woman at the registration was so kind, she worked like crazy to get me checked in to the 9th floor where I would be for my stay. At 9:00am I finally was wheeled to the 9th floor, I cried the whole way up. We got into my room and I was surprised to find that I would labor and deliver, and recover in the same room. I guess I just thought it would be like it is when you come into deliver a baby and are moved to a recovery room after. I imagined there would be so much blood and fluid it would be a mess with all the carpet in the room. While we waited for the nurses to get the required info from both doctors we were visited by the Chaplin, Gail. She was a kind woman who talked with us about our loss and options as far as arrangements. Sadly if you are under 20 weeks you are not required to make arrangements for your baby. I just sat and cried. I knew our baby was already dead, but this baby was still mine and I wanted to make arrangements. She was so compassionate and we were so relieved to find that a local funeral home that would cremate our baby for only $75. We thought it was going to be $400-500 and obviously there is not price tag on death, but it was something we just couldn't afford right at that moment.
At 12:00pm the nurse came in with the first dose of misoprostol to dissolve in my mouth to start labor. We were told that I would receive 200mg. the first and then go up 200mg. every 4 hours, and then every 6 hours. We were told it would most likely take 24-48 hours to deliver the baby. I was hooked up to an IV so I would be able to receive pain medication when needed, had 24 vials of blood taken. I had some light cramping but no bleeding, they weren't kidding when they said this misoprostol can have diarrhea as a side effect. It was pretty bad! At 4pm I was given the second dose of misoprostol, this time two pills, you have to let them sit between your cheek and gum and let them dissolve over 30 minutes. By 6:00pm I decided not to brave out the contractions anymore, really what was the point of going through all that pain when I wasn't going to get the darling crying little baby we wanted so bad. There was a problem with the IV and it wasn't till about 6:30pm I got my first ever dose of morphine. Wow it sure isn't what it's cracked up to be! It didn't take the pain of the contractions away, just made me feel a little drowsy, a little weird, and not nauseous but I just didn't feel great. I could hit my little pump every 6 minutes, but ended up using it I thought 10 times, but Luis says maybe 6. I remember thinking, I'm not going to get any sleep tonight, and please Lord I don't want to deliver this baby at 5:00 in the morning, be exhausted from all the hours of labor, transition, pushing, etc. and not be able to enjoy holding and saying goodbye to our little baby. At 8:00pm I had two or three contractions that really didn't feel good at all, I then felt this little pop inside me. I sat up and immediately knew that the head was coming out. I said quickly to Luis, the baby is coming, he jumped up and hit the call light. I pushed our baby out complete in the sac and what we later found out was the placenta. What was supposed to take a day or more, took 8 hours! I had no urge to push, no transition, etc.! I am so happy when I look back that I got to deliver my own baby! There was of course no panic that we needed someone to come, as he had already passed from this life. The nurses came in and paged the attending doctor, they took our little baby to get cleaned up so we could spend time together. There was concern on the part of the doctor that all of the placenta hadn't come out. They had prepared me that I would have to have a D&C and receive a blood transfusion if I lost too much blood. The nurse pushed down on my stomach and uterus to get the blood clots out. The doctor came in to examine me and said she thought all of the placenta was out but there was one very large clot that needed to come out and she just couldn't get to it. She gave me some bad news that she would need to get a a tool to scrape it out. I asked her if I could go to the bathroom before she came back, and she said yes. I went to the bathroom and by God's grace it came right out! She came back and said, you just did my job for me! They helped me get cleaned up and then we awaited the arrival of our baby. The nurse came in and said she thought our baby was a girl, but the attending doctor would examine and tell us what he or she was. They brought our precious baby in a basket. Luis and I looked and we just knew he was a boy. I held our precious son in my hands. He was so tiny only 7 1/2 inches long, weighing 110 grams. They explained that the swelling around his neck was most likely due to his early demise, and the trauma of birth.
Even though he was more fragile than I imagined he would, we were drawn to his perfect hands and fingernails. They were so tiny, but perfectly crafted. We named him Glory Angel Cruz. Glory so we will always remember to glorify God in everything, even when we don't understand the why. Angel because this is my husbands middle name, who was named after an uncle that passed away. This was the most peaceful time of the whole process. Luis and I held him, prayed over him and just loved each other. We had some pressure from some of the staff to have a pastor come, the Chaplin, etc. and do a blessing, but Luis, myself, and God created this life, and we decided to be the only ones to pray and say goodbye to him.
We let him go a little after 10:00pm. The nurse and doctor feel that it may have been a cord stricture that lead to his death. It seems to be rare, but it's possible that he had so much room and was so active that he twisted his cord enough to cut off enough supply from the placenta to keep him healthy. I find comfort in this, as it should mean we can go on to have a healthy 4th child. But I have learned in all this to put all of my faith, energy, etc. into the Will of Christ. If He wants us to have another baby, He will provide this gift of life. I can't be in control of getting pregnant, charting, worrying over every week if the child is still alive in me. And if we are not to have any other children, He will give me the peace I need to make the desire go away.
We have to know that Christ loves us more than we can possibly imagine. He works in all things for the good of His Kingdom. He never gives us anything that we can't handle. It only makes us stronger. We can't give into the enemy who wants so badly to take us down so he can have his revenge on God. God loves us, and gave His only son, so that if we believe in Him, we will have everlasting life! John 3:16. Glory Angel Cruz is in heaven awaiting our arrival, I only had that one little wave with him, but someday I will hold him in my arms, and there will be no more pain or sorrow. We have to live here on earth and do two things! Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, body, and strength, and equally as important is love your neighbor as yourself.
My prayer has been that if my story and testimony even brings one person to Christ and the joy and peace that comes in knowing that you will live forever in the presence of our most holy God, Glory's death will be worth the sacrifice! God we glorify you in everything. With everything we give thanks!

Net lending to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in the UK has significantly increased through the second quarter of 2015. The new figures from the Bank of England (BOE) Funding for Lending Scheme (FLS) shows UK banks and building societies gave a net total of £490 million to SMEs in the period. This is really encouraging news for both those thinking of starting-up in business and already established in business.
According to the data, the financers who were the most likely to lend to small businesses were Lloyds Banking Group and Aldermore. Lloyds lent £527m and Aldermore £122 million, followed closely by Nationwide and RBS who gave £279m and £266m themselves through the April – June period. This information emphasises the huge improvement there has been in the FLS when compared to the same quarter last year, when there was actually a contraction in lending of £400m. This was a major concern at the time with many questioning the effectiveness of FLS, but this new research has allayed those fears and reflects the upturn in the UK economy with more SMEs looking to acquire funding.
The Managing Director of Mid Markets and SME Banking at Lloyds, Tim Hinton, was quoted as saying:
"We have seen how successful FLS has been in helping small businesses grow with competitively priced funding, helping us to increase our small business net lending by 23% since the start of 2011 while the market reduced by 16%. We remain committed to participating in FLS, enabling more small and medium-sized businesses to grow and help Britain prosper."
An overdue change to the Funding for Lending Scheme
The FLS was incarnated in 2012 by the BOE and HM Treasury, aiming to encourage banks to increase lending into the UK economy with incentives, but was changed in early 2014 to concentrate on SME lending. This was achieved by giving extra funding to those institutions involved in the scheme, for an extended period of time, with price and quantity of borrowing affected by overall lending performance.
Good News for Growth
The FLS has come in for a great deal of criticism from my clients, but now looks to have got its act together, which is great news for SME growth. And of course, start ups can still access the Government Start Up Loan scheme. If you would like to know more about accessing finance to grow your business, please get in touch.
