Lack Of Legislation Protecting Cohabiting Couples Increasingly Problematic
Will, Trust and Estate Dispute experts at leading national law firm Irwin Mitchell Private Wealth are warning of the perils surrounding out-of-date wills for cohabiting couples, particularly with house prices dramatically increasing in the last decade.
The Office of National Statistics recently released its Families and Households survey results for 2017, revealing that the second largest family type is the cohabiting family at 3.3 million families. The ONS also stated the cohabiting family type was the fastest-growing of any family structure, with cohabiting families more than doubling since 1996 from 1.5 million families.
The rate of growth in cohabiting couples reflects how society's values have are continuing to shift away from traditional marriages and household structures to suit a more flexible arrangement – however, the lack of knowledge around cohabiting and the 'common law marriage myth' paired with an out-of-date will can result in serious will disputes, specialists at Irwin Mitchell Private Wealth warn.
In stats released this week, family justice organisation Resolution found that two-thirds of cohabiting couples are unaware that common law marriage is a myth and has no legal grounding in the UK, with four out of five cohabitants agreeing that the legal rights for those cohabiting who then go on to separate are unclear.
Paula Myers, National Head of Will, Trust and Estate Disputes at Irwin Mitchell Private Wealth, said: "It's very concerning that there is such little understanding around cohabitation, which in the long run can spell disaster for couples when it comes to will disputes.
"Will disputes and inheritance disputes can take years to resolve and can involve several parties, depending on who has a claim to the estate. The increase in divorce means more complex family structures are common and this can lead to many people feeling extremely disappointed when it comes to the administration of their family members estates."
"Without any sort of agreement in place or an updated will couples could spend their entire adult lives together and literally be left out in the cold once their partner dies because they have a limited claim to the estate. The intestacy rules do not include provision for a cohabiting partner and any claim for financial provision that can be brought is limited to a claim for maintenance only, whereas spouses have a much more beneficial test in such claims and can expect to receive a much more generous award in the same circumstances.
"Cohabitees can also struggle to persuade trustees in claims for life assurance pay outs and pension entitlements which can very often be paid out automatically to spouses. Some parties can struggle to access bank accounts or even have a say on how a funeral is arranged."
With house prices escalating to new, dizzying heights each year – recent figures published by Barclays Mortgages found house prices rising by up to 17pc in Birmingham, Edinburgh and Glasgow – the value of many estates has increased significantly, leading to more disputes over who should inherit the property.
Paula added: "It's vital for cohabiting couples to update their wills if they want to avoid an inheritance dispute. Common law marriages do not exist in the UK and without a cohabitation agreement in place, which can be arranged by a private client lawyer, people cohabitating have very few legal rights. The law has fallen way behind expectations of what a modern family is, but until the Cohabitation Rights Bill is passed there are few options.
"Common issues include people having to sue their own under-16 children to get access to funds to pay the mortgage of the home they shared with their long term unmarried partner. Second and third marriages can also cause issues if wills are not updated to ensure their children from previous marriages receive an inheritance."
"The best way cohabiting couples can protect themselves from lengthy disputes in the future is by arranging for a cohabitation agreement, which can define who owns any property and how bills are to be split. They also need to make sure their will is regularly updated to include their current partners and reflecting their current wishes."
"Planning for eventualities now can result in a much smoother process in the unhappy event that your partner passes away. Having legal protection in place can make what is a devastating time for families easier by removing the need for litigation."

Crossandra plants can be thought of as slightly easier cousins of the hibiscus (although they are in no way related). This plant is native to Sri Lanka and southern India and features narrow, oblong leaves and pale, peachy or coral flowers. They are tropical plants with showy blooms grown as bedding plants in tropical and subtropical areas and annuals in more northerly areas. While less commonly grown indoors, few plants can be relied on to provide this kind of flowering show under poor light conditions. If you meet their requirements for moisture and light, they are sure to reward. When growing them outdoors, they can attract butterflies.

How to Grow Crossandra
Crossandra is commonly seen as bedding plants in subtropical and tropical areas, where they are used for their wonderful color in light shade situations. These are among the few plants that provide months of lovely blooms in the bright shade—thus they are especially valuable when paired with other shade-tolerant plants for color, including impatiens, coleus, and shrimp plants.
Indoors, crossandra provide many of the same charms. They are tolerant of low light and provide long-lasting flowers that will provide constant color from late spring to autumn. You can also enhance the bloom by removing older and dying flowers. Better yet, the blooms are available in a wonderful array of pale peach and coral colors—not very common colors among indoor flowers. As a result, these plants will do well when grouped with other colorful plants, where they can be shown off to maximum advantage. That said, though, crossandra do have relatively high water and humidity requirements and cannot tolerate cold.
These plants thrive best in bright, indirect sunlight. During summer, do not expose them to direct sunlight. In winter, provide as much light as possible. Indoors, your plants can do well with bright artificial light.
A rich, peat-based potting soil with excellent drainage is beneficial. If grown outdoors, it needs to be in a well-drained spot and will enjoy having compost provided for nutrients.
During the growing season, water frequently and never allow the soil to dry out. They are very susceptible to drought. If you are growing them indoors in pots, you can water less often during the winter.
Temperature and Humidity
Crossandra is very heat-tolerant and cold-sensitive, as befitting a plant that comes from the tropics. If the temperature goes below 55 degrees Fahrenheit, it can experience damage to the leaves or the top growth. In more arid climates, it might be necessary to mist the plants weekly during the growing season to provide ample humidity. Indoors plants can also be provided higher humidity if you place them on a tray of pebbles that is filled with water, so long as the water doesn't touch the bottom of the pot.
Feed with a weak liquid fertilizer every two weeks throughout the growing season. Cut fertilizer back to once a month or so in the winter.
Potting and Repotting
Although they are perennial shrubs in their native habitat, it's not uncommon for indoor gardeners to essentially treat Cassandra plants as annuals, only keeping them until their bloom is over and their leaves begin to drop, then discarding the plant. If you do overwinter the plant, repot in spring into a new container with fresh soil and provide plenty of indirect, bright light for the transplant. Propagate at repotting time.
Propagating Crossandra
Crossandra readily roots from cuttings. For best results, take cuttings early in the spring growing season, use a rooting hormone, and plant the cuttings into seed-starting soil. Provide bottom heat and plenty of humidity until new growth emerges, then move to their permanent location. Young plants grow quickly and will likely need to be repotted within the first month before they begin to bloom.
Varieties of Crossandra
There are about 50 species of Crossandra within the larger genus. They are all native to subtropical regions, including India, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Madagascar, where they are understory and border plants. In the garden trade, however, only one species is common: C. undulifolia (also sold as C. infundibuliformis). Breeders have introduced some color variations, including the 'Mona Wallhed', which has a lovely flower color.
Pests and Diseases
Crossandras are sometimes vulnerable to mealybugs, aphids, and mites. Signs of infestation include tiny webs on plants, clumps of white powdery residue, or visible insects on the plant. Treat infestations as soon as possible to prevent them from spreading to the rest of your collection. As always, start with the least toxic treatment option first, only progressing to more serious chemicals if your initial efforts fail.

Almost bought, but deleted: Super Collapse! 3
I was checking out MacUpdate today and noticed that Super Collapse! 3 had been released. I like puzzle games and SC2 was quite the nice little bit of distraction for a while.
So, of course, I downloaded it immediately.
The Readme looked promising:
Simply drag the Super Collapse! 3 icon to any folder on your hard disk. Once it has finished copying, installation is complete.
Goody! They did it right! None of this admin required installer package crap. Drag-n-drop installs as it should be!
I was about to be punished for my optimism. First launch yielded the dialog seen at right.
Wha? Why the hell would the game need administrative privileges on first launch? Perchance to drop some turd in a random admin-only directory?
Sure enough. That is exactly what the app was doing. There is no reason or excuse for this behavior. I don't care why it is doing this (though I suspect it is likely related to licensing) and cannot think of any reason why said turd file — if it really can't be avoided — can't simply be dropped somewhere in the user's home directory. Say,
~/Library/Application Support/GameHouse/Super Collapse! 3 or a similar directory under
I had a play once I figured out exactly how to undo whatever silliness the app was going to splat upon my filesystem.
Absolutely brilliant update to this classic game. Graphics and presentation are beautiful and sound is well done, too. I like the updates to the game play, from new styles of levels to the whole story line style flow from level to level. Neat power ups and a whole "store" concept thrown in, too. There is enough play variation — from brain teaser style puzzle to spastic monkey against the clock — that any puzzle game fan will likely find something of interest.
All in all, a great puzzle game that I would have bought if it hadn't been for the above silliness. Instead, into the trash it goes.

Hoddinott's Hangout
My alarm sounds. I grumpily hit the 'off' button. It's too early, and I'm just not ready to get up. 5am is an ungodly hour by anyone's standards, but the forecast for this morning is good: clear and still. I force myself out of bed, sling on my outdoor clothes, and grab my camera backpack as I creep quietly out the house – I won't be popular if I wake up my wife, Fliss, or the kids.
I'm not chasing a colourful sunrise or a golden-hour landscape today. Instead I'm on the look-out for butterflies. So why such an early alarm call? Well, just like me, they don't like waking up early either. And you know what they say about the early bird.

Young Americans Against Socialism is a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to exposing the failures of Socialism to young Americans by creating viral educational videos for social media, like this one with Ray, who tells his story about fleeing Cuba by windsurfing for 10 hours before being caught by the US Coast Guard, just off the coast of Florida.
He says, "Socialism ruins people's lives. I can't believe there are Americans that want that for us. Here's the thing: Socialism looks beautiful in a book – and it might even seem good for the first year or so, while you start implementing it, but then things start rotting…
"We hit rock bottom. There was almost nothing to go buy in Cuba. We were having 16 hours of blackout every day. So with no electricity, you don't have a fan, just to cool off. I mean, think about the summer in Cuba! No propane to cook with, no food. An island surrounded by sea, not even table salt!
"This is one memory that sticks with me the most – the only thing we had to eat for months was potatoes. Just plain potatoes – but there was nothing to cook with – there was nothing to boil that potato with. These memories scored my brain: my mom breaking down furniture to make fire. We were destroying our own furniture to boil potatoes!
"In Cuba, eating a lobster is illegal. You go diving, you grab one lobster, you can get six years in jail! And it gets worse: If you sell it, you're a trafficker, now! If you cook it and put it an underground restaurant, it's even worse. But the government gets them by the boat – by the ton.
"All the policemen in Cuba were living way better than us. All the government, don't even mention it. Way better. The elite – they live in a bubble. That's Socialism for you.
"My family is made up of mechanical engineers, social engineers, lawyers and stuff – and we were living through that! Does that tell you something? It's not your fault, as a family. You did the best for yourself. You educated yourself and you're burning your own furniture!
"Trying to understand Cuba is like trying to understand Alice in Wonderland. You could not understand Wonderland, because nothing made sense!
"One day, I'd had enough. I got my windsurfing equipment, went to a very isolated side of the city, with a straight shot to the ocean, away from the bay and I took off. And I remember reaching the conclusion – and this is the messed-up part. If you want Socialism, you should wonder about this: Wonder why I reached the conclusion that dying there would be even better than to ever be back [in Cuba]; why I reached the conclusion that I would take the decision to put my head under the water and take three deep breaths of water and would die by drowning with a big smile on my face – because, I knew I was free. This is the first time in my life I [would be] free…
"I got picked up by the Coast Guard boat. They get sent me back to Cuba and I got my paperwork from the US Embassy…and it took me three years of processing the case, exchanging mail, going to the capital, Havana and submitting my paperwork.
"In September 2007, I came to the US as a political refugee. Keep in mind, this is my first flight, ever. I'd never been on a plane before – and here I am…!
"So, that very first day in 2007, after landing in New York, my friends took me to this restaurant – and you have to keep in mind – beef is also illegal in Cuba! An edible item – illegal! And I'm sitting there and I have in front of me this – maybe a pound and a half cheeseburger with a humongous side of fries and I can't avoid – it's a mixed feeling, because I'm feeling grateful that I'm here, able to eat a piece of meat and at the same time, I feel guilt, because people are going to prison for that! My family can't even eat that! And I'm sitting there, sending away half of the plate because I can't finish it…
"Bernie Sanders, this freaking guy was friends with Castro and he's talking beautiful things about the Cuban system. I was there…why did Bernie Sanders fail to tell you that in Cuba, you can go to prison for eating something!
"I don't like hand-outs, so I always wanted to be a part of the Service and I went to the Army. I enlisted in 2010 and I got the opportunity to serve a year in Afghanistan. I owe my life and my kids' lives and the future that they can have to this nation and that's why I went into the service; to feel and to be able to tell anybody that…I earned it. Nobody gave me anything. I earned it.
"I earned my right to vote, I earned my right to speak – and I earned my right to tell you right now why Socialism sucks!"

RECAP l Steelheads fall 5-1 to Spirit
With wins in their last two games, the Steelheads looked to keep that momentum going in this weekend's road trip to Michigan, starting with tonight's match up against the Saginaw Spirit. The Steelheads were coming off a 5-2 win over the Kingston Frontenacs while the Spirit were looking to bounce back after an 8-2 loss at the hands of the Ottawa 67's.
The Steelheads came out firing in the opening minutes, looking to notch the opening goal and jump out to an early lead. Unfortunately it would be the home team that struck first as DJ Busdeker opened the scoring at 5:26. Brady Gilmour and Bode Wilde assisted on Busdeker's fourth of the season. Just past the halfway mark of the frame, the Steelheads would see their first power play opportunity of the night as Danny Katic was booked for cross-checking. A minute into the man-advantage, Owen Tippett took a slashing penalty, resulting in 4-on-4 action. The penalties expired and the game returned to even strength. At 15:49, the Spirit would have their opportunity on the man-advantage as defenceman, Ryan Wells was sent off for slashing. The Spirit were unable to capitalize and the game returned to even strength once again. Late in the frame the Steelheads were able to convert on a great play as Ryan McLeod fed a pass from behind Saginaw's net to Nicholas Canade, who made no mistake beating Prosvetov blocker side. Cole Carter picked up the extra assist on Canade's second of the season as the game sat tied at 1-1 after 20 minutes of play.
The Spirit restored their lead in the early minutes of the middle frame as Ryan Stepien beat Ingham with his first of the season from Albert Michnac and Aidan Prueter. The rest of the period featured some solid back and forth hockey with no penalties on either end, and the score remained 2-1 heading into the final frame.
Things began to get out of reach for the Steelheads in the third as the Spirit scored on a power play and then added a shorthanded goal minutes later to extend their lead to 4-1. The power play goal came from Cole Coskey at 9:25 who grabbed the puck off a Spirit faceoff win and beat Ingham to put the home team up 3-1. Blade Jenkins assisted on Coskey's eighth of the season. Minutes later with the Steelheads on a power play, a tough bounce off Reagan O'Grady's skate put the Steelheads down by three. In the final minutes of play the Spirit added to their lead as Blade Jenkins beat Ingham on a 2-on-1 to seal a 5-1 win for Saginaw.
The Steelheads will look to bounce back tomorrow in Flint as they visit the Firebirds for a 7:00 PM start.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas legislators on Wednesday rejected a proposal to change the meaning of one of the stars on the state flag from honoring the Confederacy to honoring the contributions Native Americans have made to the state.
The majority-Republican House State Agencies and Governmental Affairs Committee defeated the measure, which wouldn't have changed the flag's design but would have changed the legal meaning of the blue star above Arkansas' name on the flag. Instead of commemorating the Confederate States of America, it would have honored the Native American tribes that inhabited the state, including the Quapaw, Osage and Caddo.
Arkansas has four blue stars on its flag and the one honoring the Confederacy was added in 1923. In 1924, lawmakers changed the design so that star was the only one above the state's name.
Democratic state Rep. Charles Blake, who proposed removing the Confederate link, said the star was added at the height of the Ku Klux Klan's rise in Arkansas and elsewhere.
"One could argue the star was not added to honor the Confederate States of America. The star, in context of the time of 1924 and that period, was added to add presence and prominence of white supremacy in the state of Arkansas," Blake, who is black, told the panel. "It's an ugly history, but we have to be honest about our history."
The other three blue stars represent the three countries that have had dominion over what is now the state of Arkansas: France, Spain and the United States.
Critics likened Blake's proposal to efforts to remove Confederate monuments and emblems from public view.
"I believe revisionist organizations are trying very hard to eliminate everything that has to do with the Confederacy throughout the entire United States right now. ... I believe this is part of that," said Alexander C. Wilson III, the state commander of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, which has fought efforts to remove Confederate monuments.
The flag bill follows widespread debate about Confederate symbols throughout the South, particularly since a white supremacist's killing of nine black worshippers at a church in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2015 and violence in August 2017 at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Efforts to remove the Confederate battle emblem from Mississippi's flag died in the Legislature this year.
It also comes two years after Arkansas enacted a law removing Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee from the state holiday honoring civil rights icon the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Unlike that change, Blake's proposal doesn't have the backing of Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson.
Blake, who is also the minority leader in the majority-Republican House, said he hasn't ruled out trying again with the proposal.

Gorak Shep – Everest base Camp – Gorak Shep
Today we reached the second of our goals. The mythical Everest Base Camp. Looking on the map the trek looks easy. Not much of an ascent, "only" 200 meters. But nothing is easy above 5000 meters. It takes almost 2,5 hours to reach Base Camp and you have to fight for every step. Getting closer it's an amazing sight. Right now there are some 44 expeditions with some 1000 people in Base Camp preparing to summit the highest peak on earth when the Chinese embargo lifts on the 10th of May. It's a small town of tents that spreads out on the glacier at the bottom of the Ice fall where the climb begins.
|We were all very tired reaching Base Camp and most grateful when Wongchu Sherpa, owner of our guide company, invited us in to the dining tent of the Peak promotion expedition attempting to climb Everest. We had a wonderful lunch and a great chat with some of the members of the climbing team.
The way back to Gorak Shep took as long as the way to Base Camp and we all collapsed in our tents upon arrival. We in general very week at the moment. Life at this altitude is very hard and you tend to avoid doing anything that steels your energy. Repacking, taking a stroll, even washing are things you hesitate to do. Some of us have even started to eat the high altitude medicine Diamox since we are experiencing some symptoms of altitude sickness. Nothing alarming yet but better start early with the medicine than too late. However, tomorrow we descend to lower altitudes
and we will all feel much better. There may not be a report tomorrow since the day is rather free of xcitements (we hope). But I will be back the day after that if the technology is on my side.

Arlene Foster says DUP and UUP in election pact talks
The DUP and UUP are continuing to hold talks about forming a unionist pact ahead of the general election on 7 May, DUP MLA Arlene Foster has said.
Mrs Foster said many unionists wanted the two parties to work together.
She said they had held lengthy talks "to attempt to maximise unionist co-operation and return as many pro-union candidates as possible".
In 2010, the DUP won in eight out of Northern Ireland's 18 constituencies. The UUP did not win any seats.
The two parties fielded unity candidate Rodney Connor in the Fermanagh-South Tyrone constituency, which Mrs Foster represents in the Northern Ireland Assembly.
Mr Connor lost by four votes to Michelle Gildernew of Sinn Féin, which abstains from taking its Westminster seats.
Mrs Foster told BBC Radio Ulster's Inside Politics programme: "If you look at my situation in Fermanagh-South Tyrone, not only do we have no unionist representation, we don't have any representation at all."
She said that during the ongoing talks, the DUP had "spent many hours, in a spirit of good faith, working alongside the Ulster Unionist Party".
The SDLP's Alex Attwood said calling for electoral pacts was "clinging to the past".
"The SDLP reject pacts," he said.
"We say to nationalism and to unionism that May must be about the character and content of our politics and a future different from the past and present."
Inside Politics is on BBC Radio Ulster on Saturday at 13:35 GMT

New care community for Bridport takes a step forward
Where you live can really affect your health and wellbeing, but there's a financial cost too. In England alone, it's estimated that poor quality housing costs the NHS £1.4 billion a year.
That's why Dorset Council is thinking differently about how to use land we own, under a programme called Building Better Lives.
In the next phase of an exciting project in Bridport, the council is working with experienced developers and social housing providers, to plan, finance and build a new care community. It will include a new care home with nursing and dementia facilities, supported living accommodation, and accommodation for key health and social care staff.
The new development will meet future demand for care services in Bridport and the surrounding area. It will provide care and support to help people remain independent for as long as possible.
The modern facilities will be built on land owned by Dorset Council along West Bay road and around Flood lane.
Cllr Laura Miller, Portfolio holder for Adult Social Care and health at Dorset Council said:
"This is a really exciting opportunity for Bridport. The current facilities in the town need modernising and don't offer the right outcomes for the people living there. The new development will not only offer more choice of accommodation to people who need support, but it will also offer truly affordable housing for people working on the campus".
Shaw Healthcare, a nationally recognised provider of quality Care and Nursing Home services, has been appointed to design, build and run the brand-new state-of-the-art Nursing and Dementia Care Home. Shaw bring a wealth of experience in both the construction and operation of modern care facilities.
Geraint Evans, Commercial & Development Director commented:
"We are delighted to have won the contract and look forward to seeing the Bridport development thrive. Shaw places significant emphasis on person-centred care which aligns with Dorset's Council
values and together we look forward to delivering the type of care that we would want for our own loved ones."
BICL, a partnership of Morgan Ashley Care Developments and East Boro Housing Trust, will build and manage a range of housing across the sites, all of which will be affordable and aimed at local people
who need support to remain independent in their own home or who need a helping hand to afford housing in order to be able to live and work in the care and health sector in Bridport.
Laurence Basturkmen, Managing Director of Morgan Ashley said:
"The next steps will be public consultation and planning applications, before starting on site. We will be working with the local community, East Boro Housing Trust and Dorset Council to realise what is an
innovative scheme, joining health, housing and care together in one location, to facilitate better outcomes for all"
Both organisations will work closely with Dorset Council to develop the plans ready for a formal Planning Application. They will talk with the people who are currently being cared for at Sidney Gale
House, and their families, and consult widely with people in the Bridport area to help shape these plans. The buildings should be completed by Spring 2021.

PUBLICATION: Adaptive Learning in Natural Resource Management
A recent paper in IDRC's Rural Poverty and Environment Working Paper Series examines adaptive learning approaches to the management of natural resources. The abstract:
This paper explores different approaches to applied research in natural resource management that focus on adaptive learning as an element of the resource management challenge of continuous sustainable production. The research frameworks suggested by Adaptive Management (AM), social learning, and complex adaptive systems (resilience thinking) are considered. While AM typically emphasizes natural science and ecological systems, and social learning emphasizes human agency and interaction, resilience thinking addresses social-ecological systems as complex entities that behave in dynamic and cyclical fashion. All three frameworks offer insights into practices that support learning, adaptation, and sustainability. Some of the experience in the Canadian province of British Columbia is given in example. The emerging framework of adaptive co-management offers a promising approach to capturing relevant features of the other three. These four different conceptual approaches should not be seen as mutually exclusive alternatives but rather are characterized by overlapping features with different focal strengths. To date, experience with applying any of these frameworks in practice is limited and remains a big challenge. The conceptual frameworks considered here could underpin research into more effective adaptive learning in resource management.
The full paper is available here.

In the article, he offers five levels of "maturity" that organisations and teams go through as they move from blind faith acceptance of Agile mantras through to the considered application of sensible practices and techniques are drawn from good practices irrespective of their source.
The five levels he describes are:
Level 1: The Rhetorical Stage. At this level teams often latch onto the rules and practices of their chosen Agile methodology with the fervor of religious converts. He states "Level 1 Agile teams typically succeed because Agile strategies were applied on hand-picked pilot projects, by a small team of flexible and often highly-skilled people, and were given sufficient management support."
Level 2: The Certified stage. He is particularly scathing about level 2 implementations. "The distinguishing feature of the Certified stage is that most team members have stayed awake in a two-day certification course and have successfully parroted back Agile rhetoric in a multiple guess test which few people seem to fail."
Level 3: The Plausible stage. At this level organisations and teams are applying common sense to the application of appropriate techniques that work within the context of the ecosystem of that particular organisation. "We also abandon the certification facade and instead focus on gaining the skills, and understanding the strategies, required to successfully deliver high-quality working software to our stakeholders and thereby pay down the integrity debt built up during the Certified stage"
Level 4: The respectable Stage. This level is about realising the need to deliver not just software but fully working solutions that deliver business value. "Furthermore, disciplined Agile delivery teams at this stage are self-organizing within an appropriate governance framework, recognizing that they work within the constraints of a larger organizational ecosystem"
Level 5: The Measured Stage. At this level teams and organisations are actively improving their processes and approaches based on objective metrics collected in real-time, scaling their practices and adjusting their projects to ensure a continuous focus on maximum return on investment. Level 5 Agile practitioners are truly respectful of history, recognizing that the people who built the systems which are currently running the world had a bit of a clue after all.
In our training and work with teams and organisations, I believe the Software Education team helps them start at Level 4 and 5 and remain there - are we succeeding?

The most powerful comparison in the document was the comparison between the old headquarters of the Helsinki telephone company HPY (now Elisa) and the headquarters of Nokia (new). When HPY's headquarter was a big, slightly gothic granite monolith communicating "we are here to stay", Nokia's glass complex communicates "we are dynamic, open and transparent". The irony of this all was that in the midst of its economic problems Elisa sold its headquarters to a new media company.
Why am I ranting about this? Because I am currently in Budapest – a mixture of romantic old sights and gigantic Tesco hypermarkets. At the same time Budapest is perfect for that getaway weekend of the good old times and for full-blown "you can buy a washing machine at 3 a.m. if you want" capitalism.
Today I had a meeting at MTV, the Hungarian national television. The organisers of my previous meeting at British Council drew me a map. They said:"It is a massive building, you cannot miss it."
Well, I could. The building in the picture is MTV headquarters. It is a colossal castle that in my mind looks more like a presidential palace or a parliament than a place where you make TV programmes. I was going around and around the square searching for a media house, passing the castle a few times. Finally asking a local helped. She looked me like I was retarded. I could see what she was thinking:"Are you stupid or what? It is the biggest building on this square right behind you."
Diversity is not only a question of understanding, colourful hand dolls and living together. It is also realising that something natural to us can be perfectly alien to someone else.

New Al Qaeda Video: American Muslims Should Buy Guns, Start Shooting Peopleby Matthew Cole- ABC News
In a new video message released on the internet Friday, American-born al Qaeda spokesman Adam Gadahn calls on Muslims living in America to carry out deadly one-man terrorist acts using fully automatic weapons purchased at gun shows, and to target major institutions and public figures.
"What are you waiting for?" asks Gadahn in English, and then adds that jihadis shouldn't worry about getting caught, since so many have been released. "Over these past few years, I've seen the release of many, many Mujahideen whom I had never even dreamed would regain their freedom."
The two-part, two hour video appeared on jihadi websites Friday with images of jihadi leaders as well as snapshots of alleged underwear bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab and accused Fort Hood shooter Major Nidal Hasan. Both Hasan and Abdulmutallab are charged with carrying out attacks inside the U.S.

Well here is some things from Fantasy Flight that I missed out on with being sick and all. Very busy week over there and looks like their PR is in top notch form.
1. Well this first bit is a bit on the older then a week side but totally slipped past the radar. It seems like there is a new Warhammer 40k boardgame called Horus Heresy. Seem's like it will be pretty epic. Only time will tell so better start saving those pennies for that eventual high price tag.
2. The Call of Cthulhu dice for Arham Horror are now in stores. Will definitely have to pick this up.
3. Cory Konieczka has a chat about the combat system behind Runewars. I hope that the card system that he is aiming for works out as well as advertised. Hopefully they will have some combat examples down the road.
4. Dark Heresy gets an expansion in the form of Ascension. Now you can become an inquisitor, a sage or an assassin. It's supposed to have advanced character creation rules as well. And this all tells me that our group still hasn't even played this yet. Must try it sometime.
5. A new chapter pack for A Game of Thrones: LCG is announced. It's entitled A Sword in the Darkness.
6. If you want to know what's on the road ahead for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay then check out the Sifting Through Shadows download.
7. You can now download the core books for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay for $25 on DrivethruRPG and RPGNow. However the PDF's are missing the cards and the fancy dice that are essential to gameplay. It's being advertised as more of an extra aid. You know being a computer technician I can buy a $100 book and get the PDF on the disc with examples programs etc. Why could they not do the same. $25 for the books is not a bad price and I would be more forgiving if the cards were included. Come on they are cards. All you would need to do is have people buy the dice as an add on. They still save, Fantasy Flight still makes lots of cash. It's the type of situation where you think they do a lot of good thing but sometimes you want to smack them. Kind of like Wizards of the Coast taking their PDF's offline.

Morning Player Notes in the Draft (Dec 28)
The Florida Panthers are expecting to be without forward Radim Vrbata again tonight, as he picked up a case of "something" that is keeping him under the weather these days. The Panthers play their first game out of the Christmas break tonight, hosting the Flyers at the BB&T Center. Vrbata will be considered day-to-day right now and his 12 points in 30 games production is held out of the conversation.
Wes' team is already hurting in the projected games department, yet the healthy players are keeping his team from dropping any further, already picking up 5 points last night. It's beginning to look like the only hope for Wes to get any money back is a Hail Mary pass at the All-Star Game festivities.
There appears to be a lot of hush-hush concern for New York Rangers forward Chris Kreider, as he left last night's game against the Washington Capitals somewhat mysteriously in the 1st period, not to return. The team did confirm after the game that the scoring forward did suffer an upper-body injury, but he would need more evaluation on Thursday. Early Thursday morning, the Rangers had already made a call to the AHL, bringing up Vinni Letteri for his first recall, which usually indicates some bad news on the horizon. Stay tuned.
Jeremy's 3rd place team is now in danger of losing a key forward for the next little while (or longer), by the sound of things. Kreider has 22 points in 37 games and doesn't hesitate to get the puck to the net. Jeremy has already lost Corey Crawford for the next while, so things are starting to fall apart for his team and quickly.
Even more concern in Winnipeg on Thursday morning, as they are now waiting for the test results to come back on forward Mark Scheifele, who went into the boards after a good shove from Oilers defenseman Brandon Davidson on Wednesday night. It didn't appear to be the most violent collision into the boards, but it did certainly look like something that could have done some damage and Scheifele's reaction did suggest that it did. The centre has been scoring at a 1st round draft pick pace, currently 38 points in 38 games, 23rd overall in pool scoring, so this will be a huge loss for the Jets.
As it will be another massive loss for Brian, if this turns out to be something significant. The fall from 1st place has already been well-documented in the last couple of days, but now, if Scheifele is out for any significant amount of time, a point-per-game player, not to mention already being without Jaden Schwartz, the rest of his scoring depth will seriously be tested to even keep him in the top 10 over the next couple of weeks.

|rHu GM-CSF, Sargramostim, Recombinant Human GM-CSF, Sargramostim;
|Granulocyte Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) was initially characterized as a growth factor that can support the in vitro colony formation of granulocyte-macrophage progenitors. It is produced by a number of different cell types (including activated T cells, B cells, macrophages, mast cells, endothelial cells and fibroblasts) in response to cytokine of immune and inflammatory stimuli. Besides granulocyte-macrophage progenitors, GM-CSF is also a growth factor for erythroid, megakaryocyte and eosinophil progenitors. On mature hematopoietic, monocytes/ macrophages and eosinophils. GM-CSF has also been reported to have a functional role on non-hematopoitic cells. It can induce human endothelial cells to migrate and proliferate. Additionally, GM-CSF can also stimulate the proliferation of a number of tumor cell lines, including osteogenic sarcoma, carcinoma and adenocarcinoma cell lines.
GenScript Human Granulocyte Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) (Sargramostim), is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 127 amino acids and having a molecular mass of about 26,000-32,000 Da, as shown in SDS-PAGE. It differs from natural human GM-CSF by a substitution of leucine at position 23 (R to L), and the carbohydrate moiety may be different from the native protein.
|P. pastoris
The sequence of the
first five N-terminal amino
acids was determined and
was found to be
|The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependant stimulation of the proliferation of human TF-1 cells (human erythroleukemic indicator cell line) is less than 0.2 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 5.0×106 IU/ mg.
|Measured Molecular Weight
|26,000-32,000 Da
|The purity level of GenScript Recombinant Human GM-CSF is greater than 95.0%, as determined by the following methods:
(a) RP-HPLC anaylsis
(b) Reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE silver-stained gel analysis
|The protein was lyophilized after extensive dialysis against 10mM Tris-HCl, pH8.5, 4% Mannitol, 1% Sucrose buffer.
|It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Sargramostim in sterile 18 MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
|Endotoxin Level
|Less than 0.1 ng/µg (1 EU/µg) of sargramostim
|Although lyophilized GenScript Sargramostim can remain stable at room temperature for three weeks, it is best stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Sargramostim should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long-term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

Critic Reviews for Freedom Writers
All Critics (126) | Top Critics (39) | Fresh (88) | Rotten (38) | DVD (14)
Has its inspiring moments - especially given the true story - and some tense, dramatic scenes amid the speedy montages of confusing gang action.
Engaging but clichéd inspirational drama set during the time of the 1992 race riots in Los Angeles. On some level, just about any movie featuring never-say-die teachers is effective.
Our eager-beaver heroine suffers the kids' sarcasm, fails to earn their respect by bringing in a Tupac tape, then wins them over in a crucial scene that, fact-based or not, rings as false as anything in Dangerous Minds.
Corny? You bet. And worse when the plot veers into the glitz of a Dangerous Minds and the sappiness of a TV After School Special. But the movie, which Swank helped produce by using her clout as a two-time Oscar winner, gets to you.
Audience Reviews for Freedom Writers
i love this movie, one of my favourite movies really compelling and interested and a really heartwarming movie that doesnt disappoint! i love the storyline as it hows the american ids in a hard american life live and its just beautifully written and fantastic acting by hilary swank and the rest o the cast! hilary swank plas a teacher who gets a classs of undergraduates who are just left by th other teachers as they feel they wont succeed and will just be societies rejects but hilary takes them on and tries her hardest to i them over which she eventuly succeed in doing, but se has a hard time teaching thm and isnt as easya she may of thought throug going through s split up and death and a bunch of teachers who don support what shes doing its testing time! this movie is powerfull compelling and sad just brilliant throughout i love it completely worth a watch!
Super Reviewer
I think the book is better.
Super Reviewer
Yes it's corny, yes it's predictable, and yes these characters are as generic as ever, but that doesn't stop Freedom Writers from being extremely powerful, moving and inspirational. Hilary Swank does a great job in the lead here, but the unknown actors and actresses who play the Freedom Writers are the soul of the film; they are incredible. Apart from being predictable and square, this film had me crying and laughing at the same time, had me snickering and get angry at character that I disliked, and more than once made me want to jump and yell with joy. It's a must see film.

Can a global luxury company have a heart? Especially in the middle of the holiday shopping season? In the case of Valentino, the answer is an emphatic yes. On a clear balmy Manhattan night, illuminated by a nearly-full moon, hundreds of holiday lights, and brightly-lit store windows, we set out for the Valentino flagship store on Fifth Avenue for an event celebrating the launch of the maison's holiday collaboration with Christy Turlington Burns to benefit her charity Every Mother Counts. #everymomcounts
We've already shared an overview of the many charities being supported by the big luxury brands this holiday season. Of these, we absolutely love the Valentino approach.
Here's how it works. Valentino's Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli has designed a limited-edition $100 white tee with a large red heart proclaiming "Every Mother Counts" on the front, with the organization's logo on the back (it's a sketch of a mother cradling an infant). 100% of the proceeds from purchases of the tee will go to the charity. They'll be sold at Valentino's flagship in Manhattan and at Valentino.com until the end of the year.
Prior to this event, we didn't know much about what the organization does. We've since learned that Every Mother Counts is doing vitally important work in the world. Its mission is helping mothers access maternity care, thereby making pregnancy and childbirth safer for women everywhere. There are three primary areas of focus:
- In some parts of the world, women have to walk an average of 8 miles to reach the nearest public health facility, sometimes even if they're in labor. Providing access to transportation is a key priority.
- Sometimes once a mother reaches a clinic, there is no trained healthcare provider to care for them. The organization supports the training of skilled birth attendants for mothers and babies.
- Clinics need supplies, including electricity and basic medical supplies.
In terms of geography, Every Mother Counts is currently funding efforts in northern Tanzania, Haiti, India, Florida, Uganda, Bangladesh, and Guatemala. Past funding efforts have helped families in Malawi, Indonesia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, New York City, Syria, and Nepal.
Turlington Burns' star power has fueled the organization's ability to partner with a number of fashion and design companies. For example, for Mother's Day this year, the Every Mother Counts "Orange Rose" campaign was created to raise funds through product partnerships with Tom's shoes; restaurateur Mario Batali; Farmgirl Flowers; Vosges Hot Chocolate; Marc Jacobs and several other luxury brands.
The price points have been reasonably accessible for all of these product collaborations. And the organization has proven that it can make a little go a long way: based on the statistics on its website, tens of thousands of people can be helped with funding of just $10 per person.
Back at Valentino, in addition to the tees, the Fifth Avenue flagship is showcasing a new capsule collection of bags, sneakers, and ready-to-wear with Rock Stud spikes and oversized red hearts. The retail space on Spring Street in SoHo that recently housed the VLTN pop-up store is now hosting one called "I Heart Spike." It will be filled with various items from this new collection, and if you take a selfie and post it, you're instantly entered to win one of the bags. We would not describe these other heart-embellished products as "reasonably affordable" — they're definitely luxury-priced. They're also drop-dead gorgeous, and exude a truly joyful spirit. They'd make an excellent gift for your bae.
While we would definitely not say no should one of these bags find its way under our tree, we feel that we've already received our holiday wish from Valentino. While visiting the launch event, thanks to our sales associate Nina, we got to meet the one-and-only Pierpaolo Picciolo! We cannot tell you how happy this made us. We're pretty sure that we thoroughly embarrassed ourselves gushing over how much we love his vision and his clothes (to be honest, we can't remember most of it, the entire episode went by in a blur). We do remember that the designer handled it all with grace and charm. We said: "We love your work! Thank you for designing clothes that actually fit curvy girls!" He just grinned and replied: "Hey, of course! I'm Italian!"
OK, huge crush confirmed.
Bravo, Valentino and Every Mother Counts. We'll definitely be wearing your heart on our sleeves this holiday.

Combating the most serious human rights violations – A View from Netherlands
- Government of the Netherlands
- Visto: 4131
The use of the death penalty and torture are still all too common around the world.
The Netherlands takes a consistent stand against these most flagrant and serious violations of human rights.
Death penalty and torture
The Netherlands works to combat the use of the death penalty and torture, acting as much as possible through the European Union (EU). The EU calls for the abolition of the death penalty worldwide, with a moratorium on executions as an interim goal. The Netherlands supports human rights organisations working towards these ends.
The Netherlands is also making efforts on the following issues:Add a comment Leer más...

Adobe flash credits with high extra costs are still being offered simply by foreign providers on the Nederlander market. They circumvent legislation by only offering their particular services online. Once a loan provider is registered in Holland, he must be in ownership of the correct Find Mortgage permits to be able to provide a credit score.
Parties like Findloan, they were the subject of the particular DRT program, respond to the particular demand for being able to lend money quickly. Consumers, nevertheless, are confronted at a later on stage with sky-high additional costs in addition to the high attention that they already have to pay. The usury loan is a much better name for this flash credit score.
Invisible higher costs
To accept the loan, they require assurance. That may be a family member or friend. If this fails, the candidate can arrange a guarantee through Global Loan; they then assure the loan against the transaction.
The additional expenses of Global Loan are usually initially not visible. The total amount is only shown on the bill; a high amount that is excessive to the loan. An expensive remedy, but most consumers opt for this particular. Nobody wants to let them know within their environment that they are short of cash and need a loan to obtain through the month.
Find Loan recommendation: Focus on Find Loan
Find Loan supervisor is certainly standing with its back to the particular wall. As long as the services can be found online, few steps could be taken. In addition to imposing penalties, it can only warn plus inform consumers.
The Find Loan provides asked the Minister associated with Finance to impose a good advertising ban, but most importantly, raising awareness of the risks associated with flash credit for customers is and remains important. As a consumer, only work with parties that have the correct Discover Loan permits. They check every new loan application so you borrow no more than is economically responsible. Execution only celebrations also test every program at the credit check.
They do not provide advice, however, the online working method is placed in such a way that the consumer takes out a responsible mortgage and is not subsequently confronted by hidden (high) costs.
Take out an accountable personal loan or revolving credit score
Guarantee is not a problem with us and the interest rates that individuals offer are low; a person borrow at an interest through 4. 2% and the conditions are favorable. Because of our execution only technique, the lead time through a request to payment can be short. The digital error-free way of working ensures that your computer data is treated confidentially. Meetings with advisers and phone calls with call centers are certainly not part of our method so that you save time.
To give you the option to guarantee the loan, we offer the life insurance policy with one of the cheapest premiums in the Netherlands.

Furniture and design of a girl's room
The arrangement of a children's room is a very responsible and hard work. Any parent would like to buy safe, practical, beautiful and at the same time inexpensive furniture to create the perfect environment for their child. But as there is no perfect interior, it is unrealistic to find pieces of furniture that combine a good way the very best qualities.
Criteria for the selection of furniture for a children's room
All the furniture, which will be used in furnishing a child's room should correspond to the child's age. Therefore, one of the most important criteria for selecting the bed, storage system, working place and game furniture is its presumable service life. It is obvious that the child is growing very quickly and it is already uncomfortable for them to sit at a small table on a low stool, the length of bed "is running short", while the number of outfits fits in the storage system no longer. However, not every parent is capable of changing the full set of furniture every 2-3 years. Therefore, the perfect solution in choosing the furniture will be a model that can "grow" with your child. There is a lot of tables and chairs, the height of the legs and backrest of which can be adjusted for the height of a child. There are models of beds, which can extend in at least three positions lengths. Built-up racks, shelves of which can be arranged depending on the height of the child are also a great help in the formation of an environment, which will be comfortable for the child. Modular systems are also perfectly suited for the creation of an interior, which will remain relevant for several years.
With age, priorities of the little princess change and the room environment should change too. Over time, the play area is getting smaller, and more space is allocated for creative and school studies. Therefore, at an early stage it is important to try to choose the furniture that can be transformed with the changing image of the life of the little owner of the room. Toy storage systems can be equipped for storing book and accessories for creative activities, sports. The dressing table can be combined with a working desk, saving space and money. It is enough to equip the space near the table with shelves for writing materials, but do not forget to install a mirror and places for small things storing boxes.
The second important matter of choosing the furniture for children's room is environmental safety. We are all aware that the room in which the child spends most of their time, should beautiful, comfortable, and also safe for health. We know that solid wood is the best material we can find materials for arranging a child's bedroom. But when it comes to the purchase of furniture, we often rely on model photos from sites, order the furnishing online, saving our time and money. However, it is important to see the pieces of furniture that will be placed in the child's room with your own eyes, to check all the certificates, manufacturing safety, working condition of all fittings, sliding, hinged and other mechanisms. With the help such a study, you will be able to put a tick in the next criteria for furniture selection for a child's room – safety in terms of injury prevention.
Perhaps, the creation of an entirely non-traumatic environment in a child's room is an impossible task. However, we can reduce the risk of injuries, pinching and other injuries. Most models of children's furniture are made with rounded corners, surfaces equipped with special protective overlays, natural "breathing" materials are used for upholstery, and the filler is not able to harm the health, even if the construction will be breached. But you need to check all of these aspects out a need in the store or at home delivery. If you sign the documents on the compliance of the purchase with all qualities stated by the manufacturer, then it will be difficult to prove your case if you find defects or malfunctions.
And last but not the least criterion for the selection of furniture for a children's room – it should please your child with its appearance and be easy to use. Very often, the child's choice and our preferences differ and it may not be easy to find a "middle ground". That is why a growing number of parents who, not finding a suitable model in furniture stores, are turning to manufacturing firms with individual orders. Of course, production of a custom furniture will be more expensive than mass market models, but the created set will be a harmonious complex, made of one type of material, with the general color palette and style. This furniture will perfectly fit into the dimensions of the room, meet the height of the child, their temperament and lifestyle preferences in the way of spending time.
The bed – a central piece of furniture
All of the above criteria for the selection of furniture, in general, relate to the choice of bed. Environmental friendliness, safety in terms of injury prevention, aesthetics and sympathy of the owner stand in the foreground. However, it is also necessary to consider some rules for choosing a mattress for the bed. An orthopedic mattress with a rigid frame, springs in individual segments and environmentally friendly filler if the best option for the health of the young child's body.
In terms of bed design, there are plenty of ready solutions. However, there is hardly a girl who would not want to feel like a real princess. And the easiest way to create a palace atmosphere in a children's room is with the help of a four poster bed. This can be a full-fledged frame for draping the sleeping place from all sides or a small canopy, allows to hide only a small part of the bed from the rest of space with a translucent fabric.
Talking about the palette choice for the bed and the rest of the furniture much depends on the color solutions taken for the finishing of the room. If the walls of the kid's room are light or even snow-white, it is better to buy furniture of bright, contrasting colors. A lot of girls choose pink and purple shades whenever possible. However, there is a mass of options – keep the girlish nature of the room can be done even with using more vibrant colors for the furniture.
In turn, white furniture will look great even on the background of pastel tones and especially of striking surfaces or pattern finishing – it is almost a universal option. White color furniture is relevant at all times and suitable for arranging a room as for a baby and a teenage girl.
Storage systems – versions
If the room for a newborn baby had enough storage space in the form of the small chest, now the young lady will need a wardrobe. The chest of drawers will need to be higher, bigger and have safe withdrawable drawers, because the child must be able to get the necessary wardrobe items from the storage on her own.
If you decide to make a built-in storage system in the child's room, execute it in a neutral palette and without pictures. If your child now loves bears or pictures of princesses, then, having become a teenager, the affection will pass, and the façade of the chest will have to be changed.
In addition to storage systems for clothes and accessories, you must organize fittings for placing toys, books, attributes for sports and creativity in the room. One of the simplest and most universal ways is using shelves with cells of different sizes. You can put the items directly into the cells or through intermediaries – containers, baskets. The universality of these shelves is that at first only toys may be stored in its cells, but all the necessary items for games, studying, sports and creativity can be added with the child's growth and needs changing.
Storage systems and the rest of furniture in baroque style with many decorative elements – carvings and moldings, beautiful furniture, look the most fitting it in a girl's room. In such a baroque interior, it is possible to feel like a queen, not just a princess, in particular, with adding appropriate textile design – many decorative cushions, beautiful bed covers with frills and ruffles, rich upholstery – to the classic furniture.
Working place or a zone for creativity
If a small table and a couple of chairs for the organization of doll tea parties and engaging in creativity is enough in the room of a little child, the room of a preschooler and schoolgirl should be equipped with an appropriate working place corresponding the age and height of the girl. In addition to the ergonomic arrangement of the working place countertop and a chair with a back (or an armchair), you must create a storage space near the place for storing writing materials tools for creativity.
If the child's room area permits, you can add a pair of comfortable puffs (with frames or frameless) in addition to a standard set of furniture items. These furniture items do not take up much space, they are mobile and can simply be pushed aside to make room if necessary. But if friends come to the owner of the room, they will have a place to sit comfortably.
Furniture for a room of two girls
When designing the interior of a bedroom in which sisters reside, one of the major problems is the rational use of space. Most often, parents do not have the possibility to allocate separate rooms for a bedroom and a zone for games and studying. And you are lucky if the area of the room in which girls have to sleep, study, play, and even receive friends, has sufficient space. Quite often all the functional areas must be arranged in a medium-sized room. In this case, two-story designs, built-in furniture and a variety of transformers – sliding countertops, hidden storage boxes, folding mechanisms come to the rescue.
A bunk bed is an ideal option for the organization of a sleeping and rest area in a small room for two girls. Using space of the room in height, you will be able to leave more space for games, creative activities. There are plenty of two-storey design options. Here is a traditional model, which can be purchased as a turnkey solution in a store selling inexpensive household items.
And here is a custom-made set of two beds and a whole gaming complex, which includes, among other things, storage systems – it is a small world in which girls will be able not only sleep and rest but also come up with new funny ways of spending time.
The main problem for arranging the room is a location of two beds. In the case you don't like bunk designs or they are not suitable for girls because of a great difference in age, you will need to decide how to arrange two beds in the common room. The layout of beds will depend on the size of the room, location (and quantity) of window and door openings. In fact, there are only two options – parallel and perpendicular arrangement of the beds.
If you place the beds perpendicular to each other along the walls, you can free up the maximum space for organizing games and creative activities. However, such an arrangement is not possible in every room. You can not place the beds by the window because this is the place where the heating radiator is located in the most Russian apartments.
The parallel arrangement of beds has more options. Of course, the best option is island installation of the beds – the structures touch the walls with headboards only, approach to the sleeping places is open from all sides. With this arrangement, bed-stand tables or small tables can be placed by each bed.
Even in a small, narrow room two beds can be arranged, having pulled each of them to the wall. With such a planning there is a place for only one table or small chest between the beds. If there is no possibility to equip the stand with two table or floor lamps, wall sconces can be used. In this way, you can zone the space for every girl, and also provide them with a lighting to read in bed before going to sleep.
The second problem of the interior design of a room for two girls is the lack of storage systems. In this case, it is necessary to use every opportunity – beds with drawers at the bottom, open shelves and small cabinet modules, suspended almost from the ceiling, storage systems, located around the doorway – this space is the most rarely used.
Examples of room arrangement for a teenage girl
If in the creation of an interior for a preschooler you can limit yourself to a consultation on the theme, color palette and style of execution of the room interior, with a teenage girl you'll need to be in direct cooperation in the selection of all elements of the design. It is obvious that the interior of a teenage girl's room includes a full-length bed, storage systems for clothing, footwear, accessories, a working area with a space to put a computer, shelves and drawers for books, documents and writing materials. When creation a design for a teen room there is no need to leave a space for games, you can install a bed box or a table stand near the bed, add a chest of drawers to the basic storage systems.


text: (New user so I hope i'm posting this in the correct area, sorry if not!) This is my review on Brave Auto International. Well, where do I begin, I was looking to import a car, but couldn't seem to find anywhere that had a better reputation then Mark @ Brave Auto. (See for yourself, just type in 'Brave Auto reviews' into google.) From the very first email, Mark treated me like an important customer and replied timely to any questions asked and also in great detail. Unlike many other exporters, Mark is totally honest, if you show him a car at auction that you like the look of but it has problems you're unaware of he will simply reply ' No good, too much corrosion' etc. So you now full and well that the car you buy through Mark will be exactly what you expect when you pick it up, or in my case even better- My DC5 was spotless. !! To summarise, Mark is an extremely good JDM vehicle exporter and has a huge wealth of knowledge, for those reasons I would fully recommend Mark 100% if you are looking to import a vehicle from Japan. I for one know that I would not go anywhere else and will be using Brave Auto again!

Compared to many other salespeople selling different types of goods and services, remodelers have easy access to one precious resource: a customer's backstory.
"Every customer has one, but most salespeople don't bother to find out what it is," writes sales expert and author Jeff Shore on Entrepreneur.com. "They fret about what the customer is moving to, rather than what the customer is coming from."
But remodelers have the privilege to sit one-on-one with a potential buyer, and remodelers are hired to work on something as intimate as a client's home.
To tap into this resource, remodelers should begin the sales conversation with a "why" question instead of a "what," Shore writes.
"Here's the good news. When you learn the backstory, the sales will roll out in front of you," he adds. "That's when you change your customer's world."
