"LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: Psalms 10:17"
We serve a living God and a wonderful God! The opening scripture says God hears only the desire of the humble. We should be quick to realize that the scripture did not say the prayer of the humble but the desire of the humble. It means that before we pray, we should have a desire in our heart so that our prayer will be specific. Now, after the humble person has prayed his desire to God, God hears and prepares the heart of the humble person to receive the answer to the prayer. Why must God prepare the heart of the humble person to receive? He prepares his heart to receive so that after he has received the answer, he will give God his glory. Secondly, God prepares his heart so that he can wait patiently for the answer. Finally, God prepares the heart of the humble person to receive so that the humble person can become a channel of blessing to others. Dearly beloved, stay humble? So you can be a channel of blessing to others?
You are an overcomer in christ jesus.

Monday marked a return to a more normal schedule for the Grades 4/5/6 class, moving from canoeing and sleeping in tents, to daily math, literacy, and theme lesson times. Students have been diligently working on completing their identity work, including poems, identity maps, and articulating their hopes and dreams for this school year.
Some standouts of our week include time cooking in the kitchen for the fifth and sixth graders, and a lunch for the whole community in the Wallace Dining Hall on Tuesday. We also had the opportunity to work with farm manager, Megan Philips, on Wednesday afternoon. She led students on an exploration through time, looking back on the history of Chewonki's land use, specifically the land that is now the Eastside Pasture. Students tromped around and explored this burgeoning new ecosystem, finding evidence of its use in the past, and generating questions about how Chewonki will use it in the future.
With economics on the brain, students asked about the costs and benefits for Chewonki of the land clearing, and acted as dedicated ecologists as they also inquired about the different plants that have started to take root there. Kat and I look forward to delving into these parallel lines of questioning as we move through the Fall, exploring the ecology and economics of being a farmer.

This week we have been working on a lot of projects, but one thing that we especially thought was super interesting was an article about squirrels. Haven't you noticed there have been a lot of squirrels lately? It's because last year we had a really good acorn year. There were so many acorns that more squirrels had babies and more of them survived because the parents were healthier and the babies had more food. That's why you've been noticing so many squirrels that have been run over on the side of the road. After we read the article we created a food chain about squirrels in our small groups, and then converted it into a drawing of an ecosystem of our choice. One of the requirements was that you needed 5, 7, or 10 vocabulary words, depending on your grade. I chose an aquatic ocean ecosystem, and I thought it really made me realize and learn a lot about the place I chose.

This week students have been busy polishing up their final drafts of projects. They have worked hard to create interesting and beautiful finished products that reflect the curriculum we have worked on since the beginning of the year. We used graphs to analyze the water quality monitoring data collected on our wilderness trip, which led us to want to see all of the data graphed together, so a poster was designed that shows all parameters on one graph.
In our Jr. Maine Master Naturalist class this week (with Anna Hunt) we discussed the definition of phenology and then trekked through the new pasture to the east-side of the neck to locate our personal "Phenology Spots." The first assignment was to identify, define and map their 24 ft. diameter phenology plot. We will visit these spots once a month with a specific assignment to focus our observations and reflections. Next week we will have special guest Emma Balis come to teach us about Birds of Prey. Coreysha will support this lesson by introducing how to draw birds.
By Annie Nixon (Grade 7 teacher)
This has been a busy week, as we have been preparing for the open house and making rough drafts of our work into final drafts. Even though its been busy, it's been refreshing to be home from our canoe trip and back in school. We get to see family and do schoolwork like math and writing. I am really looking forward for today's and next week's music ensemble.

UPDATE: 7:03 p.m. EST — Hallmark told the Hollywood Reporter that "When Calls the Heart" will not air this Sunday, March 17, and they are "evaluating all creative options" for the series.
Original story: Lori Loughlin's arrest in the college admissions scandal is affecting her work. Hallmark has reportedly fired the actress.
The Hallmark Channel announced Thursday that the "When Calls the Heart" star was terminated. AP reports that Hallmark Cards, Inc. (parent company of Crown Media Family Networks, which owns Hallmark Channel) said in a statement that they were "saddened by the recent allegations surrounding the college admissions process" and "are no longer working with Lori Loughlin."
Loughlin was in Vancouver filming the 16th installment of the "Garage Sale Mysteries" franchise, which launched in 2013. She had to leave the set, where she also serves as an executive producer, and return to the U.S. after the FBI issued a warrant for her arrest. She was arrested Wednesday and released on $1 million bail.
According to the Daily Beast, she was even given permission to travel to Canada for work through the end of the year. She was signed to do three more "Garage Sale Mysteries," according to IMDb, but it seems the channel is heading in another direction.
The actress also has a role in Hallmark's "When Calls the Heart." Season 6 is currently airing, so Loughlin's character, Abigail Stanton, will presumably keep appearing throughout the season. Loughlin was a co-executive producer on the show.
The family-friendly network has worked with Loughlin a lot over the years with over a dozen titles starring the 54-year-old.
Earlier this week, Loughlin was indicted along with dozens of others in the college admissions scandal. Loughlin and husband Mossimo Giannulli are accused of paying $500,000 to get their daughters recruited to the University of Southern California's crew team despite their kids not participating in the sport. Recruited athletes are guaranteed acceptance to the school. Both were arrested and released on $1 million bail each.
Loughlin isn't the only one whose career is affected. Sephora has dropped her youngest daughter, beauty vlogger Olivia Jade, who is in the middle of her freshman year. The social media influencer had released a makeup palette with the store just a few months ago.
Hallmark isn't Loughlin's only employer. She also appears on Netflix's "Fuller House."

"Mississippi" John Hurt
Mississippi John Hurt was born on 8 March 1892 in Teoc, just north of Greenwood in the Mississippi Delta. Hurt grew up one of three children in a farming family in nearby Avalon. He began his musical career by singing in church choirs as a young child. He picked up three-finger style guitar around age nine and soon began playing at local house parties when he was not working as a farmhand around Avalon. Hurt's initial repertoire favored country, pop, and ragtime rather than the gentle blues that came to define most of the rest of his career.
In the early 1920s Hurt met Willie Narmour, a popular local fiddle player, and the two began performing at square dances, to much acclaim. Several years later, Narmour brought Tommy Rockwell of OKeh Records to Hurt's home, where the producer was so impressed by "Monday Morning Blues" that he offered to pay Hurt to come to Memphis for a February 1928 recording session. Only two of the eight sides that Hurt recorded there were ever released, but the label asked him to record again in New York later in the year. Other sessions sporadically followed, but these recordings resulted in only a few, small-selling singles, and Hurt failed to gain any real success.
Hurt likely would have died in obscurity were it not for the folk music revival of the early 1960s. Thirty-five years after Hurt made his first recordings, musicologist Tom Hoskins discovered that Hurt was still living in Avalon. Following the path detailed in Hurt's "Avalon Blues," Hoskins found Hurt, now in his seventies, working as a farmhand. Hurt's musical ability remained intact, and after he played at the 1963 Newport Folk Festival, he toured university campuses, coffeehouses, and concert halls and made a series of recordings for small labels. Hurt eventually made his most memorable live and studio recordings at Vanguard Records under the supervision of folksinger Patrick Sky. Hurt appeared on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show in 1963.
Hurt died on 2 November 1966 in Grenada after suffering a heart attack. In 1999 Hurt's granddaughter, Mary Frances Hurt, founded the Mississippi John Hurt Foundation to preserve his musical legacy and provide musical and educational opportunities to disadvantaged young people. The foundation operates Avalon's Mississippi John Hurt Museum and hosts the annual Mississippi John Hurt Music Festival.

It has been about a week since the opening of the annual juried student art show, and what an opening it was! The evening started off nicely, with a nice group of people helping themselves to cheese and crackers. Ballots were being passed around and handed back in. A variety of side conversations could be heard all around, from congratulating the artists whose work was chosen, to complimenting the thesis students' flawless execution of setting up the show. I even heard people joking with Mark about how cute the little pink hat belonging to his daughter looked on him. Altaire Anderson, out of breath from running over to founders after class set up the new set of sculptures for her item exchange. The first round of items lasted mere seconds before art students and faculty who knew of the piece before coming whipped out their own miniature creations for a quick exchange. Maia and Charlie made the last call for ballots, and then snuck off to an unknown location to count them up. By the time they returned the crowd had really grown, shuffling past each other to look through the magnifying glass at Justin Poe's Nail Head House, or to marvel at Matt Putney's underwear hanging on a wall just inside the gallery. The announcement was made that the results were ready to be announced, and everyone gathered around to hear the winners for each category announced:
Painting: Emily Stamey, Chance
Photo: Leah Netsky, Air
Sculpture: Altaire Anderson, Family Portrait
Drawing: Tara Wright, Laura by Lamp (below)
Print Making: Lauren McClure, Untitled
Ceramics: Tara Wright, Bottle Jams (first picture)
2-D: Katie Maloney, Gaspers Great Victory
3-D: David Kaison, Balance of Dissymmetry
Viewers Choice went to Justin Poe for Brick House
The winners slowly approached Maia and Charlie as their name was called, humble artists embarrassed by the limelight. Everyone showed their appreciation for the rest of the night with personal congratulations. The evening concluded as people drifted off little by little. The show is not over though, everything is still on display, and will be for the next couple of weeks. If you have not been by, be sure to do so before it is too late!

With its verdant seven acres, Madison Square Park is one of those oases of foliage and calm amid the concrete mania of Manhattan. It's home to the usual amenities, like playgrounds for dogs and kids, but also some more unusual sights thanks to the park's robust public art program, which has hosted dozens of large-scale sculptures and installations since 2004.
The latest exhibition is "Prismatic Park" by the visual artist Josiah McElheny, comprising three colorful structures for poets, musicians and dancers to work in, on and around. For the next two weeks, the American-born, Israeli-trained choreographer Netta Yerushalmy will spend her days on Mr. McElheny's reflective green stage, experimenting with movement and negotiating her relationship with onlookers and passers-by.
Her residency, supported by Danspace Project, continues her research into dance styles of the past, focusing on the choreography of Bob Fosse and taking inspiration from modern dance pioneers like Martha Graham and Alvin Ailey, adding yet another vibrating layer of activity in the bustling theater of the city. (Through Oct. 8; madisonsquarepark.org.)

We are extremely happy to announce that Zina and Oualili arrived safely from Morocco on June 22, 2017. These two exciting imports are 100% Moroccan and represent some of the finest and most authentic North African Sloughis. Zina is even more gorgeous than we had expected and I cannot wait to get her into the show ring. Oualili is a tiny, diminutive beauty, who weighs only 13 lbs! (Our E litter boys are weighing in at over 30 lbs right now and they are two weeks younger than Lili.)
I had them shipped into Washington DC this time and it went a lot more smoothly. However, after driving for three days I am exhausted (and we are getting up early tomorrow to go lure coursing), so I am going to publish a few photos we took of them this evening and I will write further updates in the coming days and weeks. Suffice it to say that we are in love already! And…at this time, we have imported more Sloughis from Morocco that anyone else in the US 🙂

January 7, 2020
Just by the title I can see the heads of the leftists and the interfaithers exploding. But I press on.
Many years ago I had the opportunity to spend several years working closely with a large population of Somali in America on a daily basis. It was a complete immersion experience where I was in their homes almost every day. I became familiar with the culture and customs. Many shared their stories of hardship and personal tragedy back home in Somalia, and/or during their arduous trip to a safer, freer environment. In addition to visiting with families and individuals (young and aged), I also spoke with imams, community leaders and their Qur'an scholar. In addition, I delved into personal research on Somalia, the culture and Islamic beliefs; studied the Qur'an and hadiths. Since I had never met a Somali or a Muslim in my life, I had no preconceived opinion or impression to guide or prejudice me. I grew up in a mixed race, ethnically diverse East Coast neighborhood, and as an adult, on at least two occasions, I chose to live in a neighborhood of color. I share all this only to set the stage for what was to follow.
Initially, our relationships were friendly and pleasant. I found most Somali to be genuinely likeable. However, I also discovered that their thinking and mindset was significantly different from my Westernized, Christian upbringing and lifestyle. As I studied the Qur'an I began to understand a little more on why that might be so. It also raised some inward concerns. I thought, if the Somali (or other Muslims) really believe in what the Qur'an says and Allah commands and what the imams teach, America is in big trouble and the Church in America has a big challenge on its hands.
There was definitely a "honeymoon" period in our relationship. In my desire to build relationships I made certain concessions in order for them to feel more welcome in our community. However, I sadly discovered, that as long as I kept meeting their needs, desires and eventually demands, we remained "friends." Conversely, when one or more expected me to overlook an injustice or wrong doing and I would not make an exception for them, the friendship quickly dissolved. Along the way, I was disheartened to discover that far too many of the friendly Somali were guilty of acts of fraud, deception and outright lying—sometimes about the most inconsequential of occurrences, where a simple admittance of guilt and apology would have sufficed to rectify the situation.
A side note. One day a young Somali boy came to me and asked if he could help me do something after school the next day. I was pleased at his offer and told him I would have a treat for him afterwards. The next day, after school, he came to see me and he had a sad face. I asked him what was wrong. He said his mother would not let him help me. "Why?" I asked. His reply: "My mom said we don't work for white people, they work for us." I was shocked and saddened and wondered what other things Somali children were being taught at home.
My relationship with the majority my Somali "friends" rapidly deteriorated over one incident with one individual. The person was guilty of a very serious wrong doing and I had to confront him with the truth. Despite an overwhelming amount of evidence of his wrong doing he wanted me to treat him differently and overlook his guilt. I could not. It would have been unfair, unjust, illegal and plain wrong. When I refused to back down, four or five Somali community leaders confronted me to get me to change my mind. I would not. Despite the obvious right vs. wrong, I also discovered, that what was important was for the Somali clan/family to stick together and defend one of their own, no matter how wrong or guilty he appeared to be. Understandable, but still not right under American culture.
Realizing their pressure for me to change would not work, they appealed to the city mayor. That did not work either because the mayor knew me well enough to know that I would not mistreat anyone or treat them unfairly. Then they reported me to local law enforcement. When that failed, members of their community proclaimed me a "racist" and a hater of black people and reported me to the local and regional Human Rights Commission. When a representative of the HRC visited me and heard my side and I produced the evidence to back my story, she closed the case. However, certain Somali were not done with me yet. They sicced a civil rights attorney on me, but that too failed.
To say the least, the wrong doing of one person, who could not admit that wrong doing, destroyed the relationship with the majority. Along the way, I discovered that among this group of Somali "friends" it was more important to lie and save face, then admit wrong and simply resolve the matter.
Years later I discovered the Islamic concept of taqiyya, the Islamic permission to lie and deceive another—especially a non-Muslim—when in a foreign land. Taqiyya can, and often does, affect much of the communication and understanding between Muslims and non-Muslims in the West where Muslims are in the minority. It also makes it very difficult to trust the word or action of some Muslims in their relationships with non-Muslims.
Going forward, what can non-Somali Americans expect from the immigrants from the Horn of Africa? Are they here to assimilate, adapt, embrace the American culture, our laws and experience the relative freedom and safety not available to them in their native land? Undoubtedly, some desire that and may be able to achieve it, and are certainly welcome to do so. However, I do know from personal experience and further study and observation, that the "clan" culture and Islamic teaching is so oppressive and imprisoning, that it takes an exceptional Somali/Muslim to break away from the norm and seek their own reality and truth.
So, where can we look to perhaps get a peek into America's future with an ever growing Somali population? In addition to a thorough understanding of Islamic thought and law (shari'a), with the Somali, one might look at the Constitution of The Federal Republic of Somalia adopted August 1, 2012. The 56-page document has 143 articles.
One does not have to read very far into the constitution to understand the mindset behind it.
Article 1.
(1) Somalia is a federal, sovereign, and democratic republic founded on inclusive representation of the people, a multiparty system and social justice.
(2) After Allah the Almighty, all power is vested in the people and can only be exercised in accordance with the Constitution and the law . . .
Article 2.
(1) Islam is the religion of the State.
(2) No religion other than Islam can be propagated in the country.
(3) No law can be enacted that is not compliant with the general principles and objectives of Shari'ah.
Article 3.
(1) The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Somalia is based on the foundations of the Holy Quran and the Sunna of our prophet Mohamed (PBUH) and protects the higher objectives of Shari'ah and social justice.
(2) The Federal Republic of Somalia is a Muslim country . . .
(3) The Federal Republic of Somalia is founded upon the fundamental principles of power sharing . . .
(4) The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Somalia promotes human rights . . .
(5) Women must be included . . .
Article 4.
(1) After the Shari'ah, the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Somalia is the supreme law of the country. . . .
The concept of a fair and just law under shari'ah is ludicrous, of course. Islamic law does not permit freedom of choice, freedom of religion; nor does it promote human rights nor equality for women.
So, how committed are the Somali to a constitutionally free government of a democratic republic? According to Open Doors' 2019 World Watch List, seven years after the validation of their new constitution, Somalia ranked #3 among the top ten countries where Christians were persecuted the most. Only North Korea and Afghanistan preceded Somalia. For 2018, FreedomHouse.org published their list of Freedom in the World list of countries with the greatest degree of freedom. Of 195 countries, Somalia ranked among the top eight worst countries for personal, religious and other freedoms.
In 2013, another survey organization, Transparency International (www.transparency.org) tallied the data on 177 countries on the level of corporate and political corruption. This time Somalia was ranked #1 ahead of such well known corrupt countries as Afghanistan, North Korea and Venezuela. Five years later, for 2018, Transparency International published another Corruption Perceptions Index. Of 180 countries surveyed, Somalia was still firmly in the number one spot, with Syria, South Sudan, Yemen and North Korea nipping at its heels.
Darkest red countries are the most corrupt. Credit: https://www.transparency.org/cpi2018.
So, with so little positive going for it, it is no wonder hundreds of thousands of Somali have fled their homeland over the last two-plus decades. The question is: How much of the country's ills and terroristic baggage that is represented in their life-long indoctrination to Islam and Shari'a (which is the inherent source of their problems) do Somali refugees leave behind?
Referring back to the Somalia constitution, remember, it is Islam that is the state ideology and it is the barbaric law of shari'a that is the primary law of the land.
In Article 8 of the Somalia constitution it states: A person who is a Somali citizen cannot be deprived of Somali citizenship, even if they become a citizen of another country. How many Somali living outside Somalia have given up their Somalia citizenship in favor of allegiance to their new country of residence? I do not know. Does anyone? Is it a fair question? Maybe, maybe not, but I bet very few if any have renounced their allegiance to their homeland.
In June, 2012, Voice of America (VOA) published a survey of over 3000 Somali living in Somalia, but also those living in Kenyan refugee camps. Perhaps, surprisingly, despite the horrors of life in their homeland, an overwhelming 93 percent (87 strongly agreed; 6 agreed) supported shari'a as being the law of the land. Only 5 percent of Somalis surveyed were against shari'a.
On June 23, 2015, The Center for Security Policy released the results of a poll of 600 American Muslims taken two weeks prior. A slim majority (51%) believed that, "Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to shariah." In a different survey, when American citizens were asked the same question, only 2 percent agreed that shari'a should be an option to the U.S. Constitution.
It, of course, does not help America's perception of Somali when the first elected person to the U.S. Congress to represent their community/district, Ilhan Omar, has clearly positioned herself as anti-American, anti-Jew and anti-Christian. But that's a story for another post (maybe).

As the year draws to a close, many organisations will be gearing up for their staff Christmas parties, a much needed break for all concerned and a chance for employees to get together on a social level.
But while everyone is entitled to enjoy the season employers need to remain vigilant when it comes to staff safety.
"Ensuring safety at Christmas parties is essential," says Christie Solway, EML Risk Management Specialist. "Responsibility for safety may extend outside the office."
Due to the nature of the event, Christmas parties come with increased risk both at the function and after people leave.
There's the usual safety risks of physical injury, resulting from slips, trips and falls, but the change of atmosphere, while generally more relaxed and fun, can also bring an increased risk of social issues.
"The change of environment from work-based to party-based and the frequent addition of alcohol can create risks such as unwanted sexual advances, inappropriate comments or jokes that aren't perceived as jokes," says Ms Solway.
These sorts of situations can lead to claims of sexual harassment, discrimination and bullying.
"Any inappropriate behaviour should be managed in the same way it would in the workplace," says Ms Solway.
Those demonstrating behaviour that crosses the line should be spoken to immediately so the behaviour can be stopped.
If allegations of inappropriate behaviour are made after the event, whether that be allegations on social media or formal complaints following the event, these should be taken seriously and investigated in the same way as an alleged incident that has occurred in the workplace.
While most Christmas parties are limited to employees, some include invitations to valued clients, so additional precautions should be taken to help safeguard your guests' safety.
To ensure Christmas parties remain fun and incident free, Ms Solway suggests the following actions:
- Send out a reminder e-mail to staff outlining expected behaviour at staff Christmas parties to prevent cases of bullying, sexual harassment and discrimination and to remind employees of their need to safeguard their own safety and that of their colleagues.
- Clearly define the parameters of the function (including a finish time) and actively discourage staff to continue on to other locations to continue partying after the function finishes.
- Make sure food is provided and that people keep an eye on staff to ensure they don't drink to excess.
- Provide non-alcoholic drinks that are as appealing as the alcoholic versions.
- Designate someone (who is not drinking) to oversee the event to ensure behaviour does not get out of control and the event runs smoothly.
- Do not continue to serve drinks to someone who appears drunk.
- Advise people of transport options to/from the venue and remind them to plan for their safe travel home.
- Remind managers that they are role models and should therefore set a good example by not drinking to excess and ensuring they behave appropriately and encourage the same in others.

At around 6.30am (GMT) this morning, after a journey lasting just over 8 months, NASA's Curiosity rover arrived on the surface of Mars.
Planetary scientists across the world had to endure the "seven minutes of terror" as the spacecraft made a rapid descent through the Martian atmosphere. Using a combination of rockets, a parachute, and a sky crane (!), the spacecraft decelerated from 20,000km/hour to only a tiny fraction of that speed as it touched down safely on the Martian surface. This was followed by a nervous 13 minute wait for the first signals from the Curiosity rover to reach Earth and confirm that it had landed in one piece!
Curiosity's work began immediately and the first images have already been beamed back to Earth. The next few days will be spent testing the different scientific instruments onboard and getting the rover acquainted with its new surroundings before the real action begins. Curiosity is currently sat in the ~3.5 billion year old Gale crater. The rover will embark on a 2 year mission to analyze the rocks in Gale crater and determine whether Mars ever had an environment that could have supported life. This location has been chosen because the geological features and chemical compositions (observed by satellites orbiting Mars) suggest that there was once water there in the past, and water is considered a key ingredient for developing life as we know it.
Each of the previous successful Martian rovers, Sojourner, Spirit and Opportunity, have made dramatic discoveries about Mars that would not have been possible using only telescopes and satellites. At a cost of ~$2.5 billion (~$7 per U.S. citizen), Curiosity is the most sophisticated rover to visit Mars yet, and over the next few years results from this mobile laboratory will shape how the next generation of planetary scientists view Mars and lay the ground work for future sample-return and human exploration missions.

Assume you're a marketing government trying to determine the best way to market a candy bar that is brand new. You have three slogans that are potential to select among, and also you desire to check them out. Obviously, you can't test the slogans on everyone in the world, so that you need to select a taste population for assessment. One popular way of sampling people is named " random testing that was easy." Randomness and Representative Products Random sample that is simple ensures that every member of the populace comes with of being within the study, an identical chance. Inside the candy bar case, that means that when one's research population's scope could be the overall Usa, an adolescent in Maine could have of being included like a grandmother in Illinois exactly the same chance. Because a really random taste may well be more representative of the populace, it is a huge gain. If you select arbitrarily, there is less chance of sampling opinion. It is rather improbable you'd find yourself conversing with just guys that are white, for instance, which may cause poor findings in regards to the best slogan. Easy in Small, Defined Populations Straightforward random sample has another major benefit, if you're a marketing exec considering selling your candy-bar solely at one specific high school: It will be quite simple. Arbitrary sampling is academic writing companies quite practical whenever using small communities which have been already revealed and shown.
It even carries a magnet and is magnetic.
For example, in a high school, the population would be the key's listing of learners that are enrolled. All-you will have to do is quantity the listed learners and use an arbitrary quantity generator to choose a few of them to have a random test. Ofcourse, your effects would simply inform you how nicely the slogan worked at that school that is high, not across the country. Difficulty With Big Populations The performance of simple random sample with little populations is truly a downside with major communities. Supplying every member of the populace an equal possibility at addition in a questionnaire requires having an appropriate and complete set of population associates, which just isn't impossible across even the world or an entire region. It'd be very difficult to make contact with deflected there kids in Maine and grandmothers in Illinois even though you had an ideal record. Subsequently, simple random sample is seldom often and basic time tedious and consuming. Missing Population Segments Easy random testing will give you an extremely correct photograph of your motto performs with the common individual, but it will not give comprehensive information about distinct sets of people to you. For example, presume you intend to understand how your candy-bar slogans use football- enjoying single men.
He also demonstrated he is a pro.
An easy random taste of the entire population may include just one or two of these, so that it wont inform you anything. To acquire that data, you'd require a distinct method, including purposive sampling.

The season is upon us for 20 Group meetings. Did you forget already?
20 Groups are groups of non-competing business managers who get together to discuss their operations in detail and learn from one another to maximize profits. 20 Groups are best known for their use in the auto industry, but the practice is also used in accounting, legal, manufacturing, and other industries. There are 20 Groups for owners and business principals, general managers, CFO's and controllers, sales managers, and other manager roles. Many of these will be meeting soon throughout the spring and summer.
If Scan123 has helped your business become more efficient and profitable, please consider telling your 20 Group about your experience with Scan123. Or, better yet, we'd love to give a short presentation at your next 20 Group meeting about document scanning and document management. We've spoken at many 20 Group meetings, and we always pay for all of our own expenses.
Best yet, most 20 Group meetings have all attendees put $50 in a hat for a cash prize for the best ideas. Many of our customers have won some or all of that pot by sharing Scan123 with their colleagues. Plus, for each member of your 20 Group who signs up as a customer of Scan123, we'll give you a free month of Scan123 service.
If you'd like to arrange for Scan123 to visit your 20 Group meeting, give us a call at 1-888-481-3727, or use our contact form to send us a message.

There were 6,117 suicides in the UK in 2015 of which 75%, or 4618, were male (NISRA, GRO, ONS). Male suicide has an enormous emotional impact on those bereaved, who are then much more likely to take their own lives.
CALM works to prevent male suicide by providing frontline services for men, promoting cultural change and campaigning for better understanding of suicide and prevention.
We were founded in 2006, and in the first ten years of operation have helped treble awareness of male suicide in the UK (YouGov).
Demand for CALM's services are steadily increasing; currently someone tries to access the helpline/webchat every two minutes (during open hours, 5pm-midnight daily).
In 2015, CALM's #BiggerIssues campaign, delivered in partnership with Lynx, reached an online audience of 23 million, increased awareness of male suicide by 45%, and helped secure the first ever parliamentary debate on male suicide.

Subject: Excuse of Kiirtan
"Toma'r na'mer tarii beye bhese calechi sudu're..." (3937)
Baba, by Your grace I am rowing the boat of my life, singing Your name,
and floating toward the spiritual world. Baba, because I am dancing in Your
divine tune, I know I will never meet defeat-- victory is assured. Baba,
with Your eternal song as my rudder guiding me along, I never feel lost or
Baba by Your grace in my life there is no hypocrisy. And by Your grace I
do not suffer from the painful crocodile thorns of self-aggrandisement,
(asmita'). By Your causeless compassion, my mind is pure and straight. O'
my dearmost, Your divine vibration encompasses everything. The zig-zag
path, and the high tide & low tide-- everything resonates in the divine
sound of Your omnkara.
Baba, I do not have any desire to look back; I am moving forward towards
You with my heart and mind. Baba, by Your grace I never lose the path or
unnecessarily waste my time, because by Your grace I do not spend my days
recalling all those old forgotten memories of my distant past. Always You
keep me marching along the path of fulfillment-- towards You.
Baba, by Your grace I am under Your shelter, and in my sadhana and
dhyana I always sing Your name. That is the main force moving me ahead
towards You...
The Ananda Kanan Summer retreat and conference just concluded in NY sector
and here are some thoughts and replies to an ongoing issue related with
out most favorite practice of kiirtan.
Surely, all are aware about the numerous reasons why kiirtan should be done
separately according to our usual male-female standard. After all,
everything in our Marga is separated along gender lines: Our jagrtis; our
Prout, AMURT, & VSS departments; our AM offices; our sleeping areas; our
bathrooms; our LFT training & WT training centres; our education system
(above 10 yrs of age); our organisational in-charges etc. Verily everything
in our AMPS has been cleanly divided along gender lines. This is Baba's
given system.
And certainly, Baba Himself conducted reportings separately, demanded that
kaoshikii be done separately at DMC, and kiirtan itself was done separately
at DMC. This everyone knows.
So all these aforementioned avenues clearly point to the ideal that nearly
all activities and engagements in our Marga from the spiritual realm to the
psychic strata to the physical plane are divided along gender lines. It
follows then that our kiirtan programs at our various retreats should also
be done separately. And in Delhi sector this dharmic code is followed. Then
why not also at our sectorial level retreats in NY.
For those who may not be aware, and as a reminder to others, in our akhanda
kiirtan programs at Ananda Kanan-- in our usual "overseas" or "western"
style-- males and females are dancing simultaneously such that they are
bumping into each other, looking at each other, rubbing against each other
etc. This is what happens every time. For their own reasons some may say
'no', but it is like that:
> At overseas akhanda kiirtan programs, what happens is that in the same room
> the females will form one circle and then directly surrounding the female
> circle is a circle of males. So dozens and dozens of females and males are
> dancing extremely close by, right next to each other in an enclosed
> environment around the same puja table. So at this gender-mixed event then
> invariably bumping, rubbing, and brushing occurs between members of the
> opposite sex. Because there is an inner circle of females and an outer
> circle of males and as everyone is moving round and round, then both the
> circles tend to lose their shape and some females are rubbing up against
> the brothers circle, and likewise some males are brushing up into the
> female circle. In that way various types of physical contact happens.
> Because initially people try to close their eyes, dance, sing, and walk
> around the kiirtan circle-- all at the same time. So then of course members
> of the opposite sex end up knocking into and rubbing against one another.
> Especially during the night time kiirtan when the room is darker. Then in
> that case varieties of touching is going on between male and females, all
> the more so when it is crowded.
So I asked one elder Dada about why the akhanda kiirtan programs are being
conducted in this way with males and females-- when all logic and reasoning
dictates that it should be separate. And here is what Dadaji had to say.
Dadaji explained that actually the point has come up many times but some
continually resist the issue as it strikes a deep nerve in their being. So
let us understand why.
As we know, all human beings come from animal life. And all are trying to
move towards divinity, knowingly or unknowingly, yet still we carry all the
bag and baggage of our past animal lives-- some of us more so than others.
So here the point is that everyone is burdened by certain crude propensities.
And at the same time, our AM is a segregated society in that the
free-mixing of males and females is not welcome (Ref: CC-1, ch 24). Hence,
people search for gateways to express those crude desires, in some way,
shape, or form.
Before I got the chance to interrupt, Dadaji told me to wait just a minute
and then he explained as follows.
Once there was one Acarya C who insisted on driving 375km each Sunday in
order to participate in the weekly akhanda kiirtan in one unit where males
and females would dance together. No matter what rational objections were
put forth to Acarya C, such as the high cost or large amount of petrol used
or the huge time involved, always he had an undeniable, burning desire to
go to that akhanda kiirtan. He just HAD to go. Yet the strange thing was
that in his own locale, that same Acarya C rarely ever did kiirtan with the
young single brothers etc. But that akhanda kiirtan that exhibited the
females, that kiirtan Acarya C had to attend. Because it quenched his crude
desire-- to see and look etc. And his is not an isolated example.
Then Dadaji explained that this whole subject is not a joke or something to
take lightly-- it is a matter of our human existence, of our innate
tendency. That is to say, as sadhakas, we must take exceptional care not to
let our human qualities be overwrought by animalistic desires.
On a grander scale, Dadaji told that in all the religions such as Islam,
Hinduism, orthodox Judaism, and to some degree Christianity, where there is
a restriction on the mixing of the sexes, then males and females always
search for an "excuse" whereby they can see members of the opposite sex.
Because that vrtti is jumping in the mind.
It may happen at the temple, or the community center, or who knows where.
But it happens-- in one way or another males and females find their way.
In fact, in the old days of Christianity, many would attend church with the
sole motive and hope of finding a love letter or secret note in their hymn
book from their darling. This was the common practice. Because that was the
only place where there was mixing of the sexes. So people used that as a
'release' to express their crude desire, sexual curiosity, and animal vrttis.
And although AM is certainly a step up from the dogmatic religions, still
this game happens. Because within the human mind there is that lustful
desire leftover from one's past animal lives. And if it is not controlled,
if it is not checked, then males and females will try to express that
desire through some venue-- even kiirtan.
For this reason-- despite all the logic and reasoning that everything in AM
is based on the separation of the sexes-- still a few in our Marga are
anxious and adamant to keep akhanda kiirtan 'mixed', in order to satiate
their fancy to some degree.
Then Dadaji told that, 'People in AM may find this theory far-fetched, but
if they are honest with themselves they will find it is true. Otherwise why
are some so reluctant & resistant to changing the akhanda kiirtan format
into a more sentient program that is consistent with the rest of our AM way
of life'.
Dadaji continued, 'There is not an ounce of logic or reasoning supporting
their mixed approach-- just desire, and an unseemly one at that'.
All this had me thinking and indeed I had no answer to give.
The next point that came up was that this was a wrong use of kiirtan-- i.e.
western akhanda kiirtan should not be used as a way for males and females
to mix with each other. That crude desire should be addressed in another
manner-- not during kiirtan. Because kiirtan is our unique time to focus
exclusively on Baba. It is an invaluable part of our spiritual life.
Baba says, "In the life of a spiritual practitioner (sa'dhaka), in the life
of a devotee (Bhakta ), kiirtana is most essential." (SS-19)
So kiirtan is part of our spiritual lifeline. However, when kiirtan just
becomes an excuse for 'checking out' the opposite sex-- if that idea is
even one iota in the mind-- then the spiritual value of that kiirtan is
tarnished & gone. Rather negative samskaras are created.
Thereafter, Dadaji told me something about the term abhoga as he wanted to
give the science behind it all. First he told me Baba's clear cut
definition of abhoga.
Baba says, "A'bhoga means occupation or pabulum...mind also requires a
pabulum; whatever object the mind confines itself to, that is its
pabulum...mental pabulum is called a'bhoga. The object with which the mind
is preoccupied or obsessed is its psychic pabulum or a'bhoga." (SS-11)
So abhoga is basically one's mode of thinking.
Then the point came that one's abhoga, or mental pablum, will directly
dictate one's movement in life-- either towards the crude or subtle. It all
depends upon the individual.
Baba says, "The mind must always have an object...'A'bhoga' means that
object which feeds the mind--that is, mental pabulum. If this pabulum is
limited, the mind also becomes limited. If the pabulum is infinite, by
making an effort to obtain it, the mind becomes infinite. It depends
entirely on the will of human beings which pabulum, limited or unlimited,
is made their object. Whether a person becomes great or small completely
depends on the person's wish." (AV-1)
So abhoga is something highly significant in one's life. If one's abhoga is
crude then one will be degraded. There is no escape.
Hence during proper or true kiirtan, one's abhoga will only be, 'Baba,
Baba, Baba...'. In kiirtan, the mind should be exclusively fixed on Him--
on Baba. Then only is it kiirtan. And surely, most in AM are on this sweet
path and truly involved in doing devotional kiirtan.
So we are close or getting close-- but not entirely ready to get over the
Because so long as this dogma is existing about combined male-female
akhanda kiirtan circles, then it means there is an urge in this or that
organiser's pocket to get their vrttis satisfied in this way-- through
crude kiirtan parties.
Or the other way to look at it is this.
Only when one adopts a purely spiritual ideation in their kiirtan will they
readily agree to having akhanda kiirtan done according to gender. Because
in that pristine way of thinking, one will like to create the most sentient
and pointed environment for singing kiirtan.
And truth be known when the goal is Parama Purusa, then what is the need to
be surrounded by members of the opposite sex in the kiirtan hall.
So during kiirtan, one's abhoga should be purely spiritual-- that alone
will solve the problem of mixed-sex kiirtan parties. They will not occur
anymore when one is sincerely involved in kiirtan as a spiritual endeavour.
Baba says, "What is the spiritual practice of human beings? It is forsaking
unithood (jiivatva), leaving bondage, and attaining cosmichood (shivatava).
This alone is the goal of human beings." (AV-1)
Through our ups and downs, our Marga is churning and churning and
ultimately moving in a more sentient direction. One can see it in all
directions. Now, no one will openly say, 'I am groupist', or 'I like to
watch crude Hollywood movies' or 'I like to eat junk food tasties'. No one
will say like this because it will not be appreciated; it will not enhance
one's stature. Why? Because, now more than ever, everyone is looking for an
ideological stand in all the realms.
On this point I had to agree and then Dadaji continued.
So those who like to use kiirtan as an excuse for satisfying their
animalistic desires by having co-ed get-togethers-- their days will come to
an end soon. It may happen today, or certainly tomorrow. Because our AM
society is moving towards a more sentient ideal.
In that case, why wait. Why be the very last sector, region, unit, or
individual to make the switchover to 100% purely sentient kiirtan that
adheres to Baba's ideal of doing kiirtan separately according to gender.
Why should anyone have the dishonourable asterisk by their name as being
the last one to make the positive change.
Better is that one should readily state, 'Yes, I am ready to adopt Baba's
kiirtan system and move in an unhindered way toward Him. That is my sole
aim in kiirtan'.
Here everyone should be aware that the main point of this entire letter is
not to outlaw mixed events. There should be-- indeed there must be-- co-ed
events and gatherings where members of the opposite gender can meet and
talk or do service projects together. Such things must be arranged and
properly supervised as well.
Instead, here the main point is that our kiirtan is verily our spiritual
lifeline. It allows us to make that challenging transition from worldly
ways to life divine. It brings the mind from external to internal, from
crude to subtle. Kiirtan awakens that spiritual thirst that allows us to
realise why we have come on this earth; it reminds us of our true Goal in
life. And it goads us onwards in the spiritual realm, towards Baba's divine
So it is nothing but a tragedy-- if due to our carelessness-- that we let
the sweetness of kiirtan slip through our finger tips by allowing it to
become a medium for something else, such as an excuse for seeing or
associating with the opposite sex.
Some may resist and be unwilling to say that this is their desire; indeed
who will like to admit it. No one. But verily it is there, to some or more
Otherwise, why allow this male-female akhanda kiirtan to be the main event
at our retreats. Should it be like that just because some sadly or
nervously think, then 'when will I get to see or be seen by members of the
opposite sex'. This idea is lingering in the mind-- to some or more degree.
Even with our Dadas etc. In that way kiirtan just becomes some excuse,
nothing more.
So the main point is, we should be adamant not to allow our kiirtan to
become tainted. Kiirtan is our main avenue for spiritual progress. It
brings the mind into a higher realm-- when done properly with pure
ideation. So we should keep our kiirtan environment sanctified. In which
case the separation of the sexes is only obvious.
And at the same time we should arrange other avenues for socializing in our
Marga. None should worry that they will not get any scope. They will-- but
not during kiirtan.
So this is a big topic, if not a sensitive one. And this is a long letter
so here I shall conclude and simply request for everyone to reflect a bit
and then share their thoughts.
By Baba's grace when kiirtan is done with the proper ideation then it
cleanses our whole existence from inside to out and reminds us of our
inherent link with Him.
Baba says, "If people do kiirtan with distinct expression of the mantra,
their mouths become pure, their tongues become pure, their ears become
pure, their whole bodies become pure-- and when so many parts of the body
become pure, the atma (self) also becomes pure...Kiirtan will always remind
you that you are the affectionate children of Parama Purusa." (15 May 1982)
Sadhana Point
Baba says, "Whatever a man is to do in his spiritual life he is to do--
why? Because he is in love with the Supreme Entity. Love is the first
word, love is the starting point, and love is the last point." (AV-12, p.13)

For example, "Students who need print 28 points or larger should probably be considered as candidates for Braille education.", American Printing House for the Blind <http://www.aph.org/research/lpguide.htm>). This set of calculations shows that a very satisfying reading experience can be obtained with up to 900% enlargement of 12 point font when normal word wrapping is employed. Since word wrapping is one of the oldest technologies of the personal computing and web era, the technology to obtain this user interface is well known and well within the means of any web author, media producer or browser provider. For many people with low vision it is very possible to read on a laptop with a standard screen of 13.3 inches. Now a good print size for normal readers is 12 point, where we use the Adobe standard point size of 1/72 inch. Thus 24 point is 200% normal, 36 point is 300% normal, 48 is 400% normal, 72 point is 600% normal and 108 point is 900% times normal. This range should be sufficient to address the needs of people with mild low vision (20/40-20/60) and moderate low vision (worse than 20/60 and better than 20/200). Now the list bellow gives the screen capacity in characters. This is calculated as follows: If we break the screen into an grid where each grid square has an edge size in points: 24, 36,...108. Now for line length there are between 2 and 2.4 characters per square due to proportional packing and character widths that are less than the actual square height. The line height just equals the square height. Using 2.2 as the width multiplier and rounding off fractional parts we get the following. - 13.3" monitor - 24 pt = 1/3 inch letters has 76 character lines and 19 lines per page. - 36 pt = 1/2 inch letters has 50 character lines and 13 lines per page. - 48 pt = 2/3 inch letters has 38 character lines and 9 lines per page. - 72 pt = 1 inch letters 25 character lines and 6 lines per page. - 108 pt = 1.5 inch letters 16 character lines and 4 lines per page. For less visual acuity, a non-portable solution using 20-36 inch monitors would include approximately the same screen capacities with nearly double the magnification. *Note* that 16 characters per line would involve some horizontal scrolling for words larger than 16 characters. That would be very infrequent in most languages. If people with low vision were given a responsive interface, whether it is obtained by a popular authoring technique like responsive web design (RWD) or by some other means, they can benefit. The only real responsiveness required is reversion to one column format with appropriate print size. In the intermediate ranges 36 point to 72 point, use of a portable device like a 13.3 inch laptop as a reading device is extremely practical. Not everyone with low vision needs large print. For this group, line length is often an issue. Again a single column format with narrow columns may work, or a multi-column format depending on the user's need. The main point is this. Responsive user interfaces are old in the world of personal computing and the technology is well know. The first was automatic word wrapping and WYSIWYG. That sold personal computing to the general public. It was followed by early Microsoft Windows systems that enabled the user's choice of icon and font size, color and font face that propagated through all Windows applications. This was lost with Windows 7 and later, but the capability was established. Any entity who cared to put in a little effort could establish responsive user interfaces that would work for people with low vision. This article demonstrates that for most people with low vision, there is even a portable solution. No new technology needs to be invented. All that is needed is a user interface that is built with responsiveness in mind.Received on Monday, 7 September 2015 18:49:54 UTC

May 24, 2017
The 2017 meetings marked a changing of the guard at the Guild as former DGA National Executive Director and current DGA Senior Advisor Jay D. Roth reflected on the privilege of serving DGA members, and the many milestones achieved by the Guild throughout his tenure.
"I am very proud to say that I leave 22 years later with a larger, stronger and more vibrant DGA. From our infrastructure and finance, to our governance, to our membership involvement and leadership and that which I am most responsible for, our Professional staff." said Roth. Of his successor, longtime DGA executive and new National Executive Director Russell Hollander, Roth added, "He is bright, tenacious and kind. He is committed to our creed of 'Serve the Members.' I think we all can rest assured that the Guild is in great hands."
With the upcoming Biennial Convention in June, the meeting also served as Barclay's final address as President for those he had served in that role since 2013. Following remarks from Roth, Barclay delivered the President's report, which followed the theme of Seven Ways You Have Made the Difference. After listing some of Roth's many accomplishments, such as eight successful negotiations, Barclay emphasized the importance of participation by active, working members.
"A core principle of our Guild is that each individual member matters," said Barclay. "You matter. Diversity of opinion and open discussion is necessary for our democratic institution to flourish so we can collectively shape the policies and direction of our Guild – and in doing so we can best serve the needs of directors and their teams both now and into the long-term future. Our collective bargaining strength comes from the power of our united membership working together with the Guild's top-notch professional staff. We would have never had the kind of remarkable achievements – like excellent compensation, residuals and health and pension plans – without the participation and drive of so many members for more than 80 years. From Vidor, Ford, Capra and Stevens in our earlier years to Wise and Cates and now my fine fellow officers on the National Board today."
Barclay continued with his theme of making a difference by acknowledging the work of the DGA Negotiations Committee chaired by Michael Apted and Thomas Schlamme whose efforts resulted in a historic new agreement that includes increases in residuals for programs made for high budget subscription video on demand as well as additional funding for the DGA Pension Plan. He spoke about how the forward thinking of the Guild has protected the economic future of the membership through the recently negotiated agreements and touched on some of the DGA's many initiatives including tax incentive programs in California and New York that make it possible for members to work where they live, the Guild's revamped communications and new career development and mentorship programs, and recent changes to the DGA Awards.
In closing, Barclay thanked the National Board and the members of the various DGA Councils and Committees whose time, effort and intellect make the DGA the best Guild in the industry. Then he looked back on his presidency and left the members with his wish for the future.
"What I am assured of is that you, the members, have and will continue to make a difference for the DGA. Please continue to help each other, inspire each other, protect each other, and be a part of continuing this amazing thing called the Directors Guild of America. I'll take my own advice and try to help where I can. And thank you for letting me be of service."
In addition to President Barclay's State-of-the-Guild report, attendees of the New York meeting also heard a special address from DGA National Vice President Vincent Misiano that covered items of specific interest to members on the East Coast. The meetings in both locations also featured the following series of reports from Guild officials:
Prior to adjournment, the floor was opened to questions from the membership. Members of the Guild's management team were present at both meetings to provide answers and insight. Both events ended with a cocktail reception, giving attendees an opportunity to catch-up with their colleagues.

How to Get Rid of a Yeast Infection: Candiasis
Disclaimer: Consult with a doctor before deciding on a treatment plan for any disease. We've included links below to products that have a reputation for being of high-quality and that are appropriate for the holistic treatment of disease. These affiliate links help fund this web site and keep it going. UPDATE TO THE ORIGINAL ARTICLE: When I first wrote this article, a vaginal yeast infection was (to me) an infection that could be treated as an isolated thing that was happening in an isolated part of the body. Indeed, a vaginal yeast infection can be very distracting, painful, and uncomfortable and it begs to be treated with something that will quell the itching. But after years of study, I've learned that a vaginal yeast infection is often a holistic, systemic infection that should be treated with holistic methods. So, after years of research and learning, I have to say that the treatments offered in this article are not, in my opinion, "cures" for a vaginal yeast infection, but rather "cover ups" that can get you through the worst stages of the problem until you can work to cure it holistically using some simple, but life-changing techniques to cure candida (both vaginal candida infections as well as systemic candida infections) that are detailed in another article. If you have recurrent vaginal yeast infections, please read the article How to Cure Candida....Read More

Rentokil Acquires Dugas Pest Control:
Past National Pest Management Association President and Owner of Dugas Pest Control Laura Simpson Speaks About Selling Her Pest Control Business
An industry icon, Laura Simpson has previously served as a Director and President of both the Louisiana Pest Management Association and the National Pest Management Association. Laura is also President of LIPCA, an insurance company providing commercial casualty insurance and related services to pest companies.
Dugas Pest Control is a QualityPro certified company that has served southern Louisiana for more than 50 years. Laura, who graduated from LSU with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting, took over Dugas Pest Control from her father, Doug MacPherson, who purchased the business in 1973.
Laura has always focused on delivering exceptional customer service and in 2018 was awarded the Paul Adams Award of Excellence by the Louisiana Pest Management Association. This award, given to just thirteen people since its creation in 1983, is the highest honor the Association can bestow upon a member.
Retiring after a Successful 35+ Year Career in the Pest Control Industry-
The Decision to Sell Dugas Pest Control to Rentokil:
Laura and her husband Floyd decided it was time for them to sell the business and retire to their mountain home in Montana. They had some thoughts about the type of buyer they hoped to see take over the business, to continue in their long-standing tradition of keeping both customers and employees satisfied, especially since Laura's son wanted to continue his career in pest management with new opportunities presented by the buyer.
Laura realized that selling a PCO business is not the same as operating a PCO business and making the decision to move forward is also an emotional choice that affects family members and employees. So, Laura reached out to her own trusted accountant, Dan Gordon, Managing Director of PCO M&A Specialists (a division of PCO Bookkeepers). Having known Dan for many years, Laura knew that Dan and his M&A team had the expertise and synergies needed to develop an overall game plan to find the right buyer for Dugas Pest Control.
Pest Control Industry M&A: Rentokil Acquires Dugas Pest Control:
The PCO M&A Specialists team worked closely with Laura to develop a suitable plan, gather and produce the information needed to market the company for sale, find the right buyer, and structure a deal that ultimately exceeded her expectations. While the deal was progressing, the M&A team were in constant communication with Laura so that she knew what was going on and what the next steps beyond would be. In the end, the deal was brought to a very smooth conclusion, with Laura and Floyd maximizing their after-tax proceeds and now looking forward to a comfortable retirement.
– Thanks Laura and Floyd for putting your trust in us. We appreciate your kind words! Enjoy your home but watch out for grizzly bears in those Montana mountains!
It's not every business owner who is fortunate enough to have built a great company, sell it for maximum after-tax profit, and now be able to afford a retirement in the home of my dreams in the mountains.
I always knew that I would seek out Dan and his team once I made up my mind to sell the business. There really was no need to speak with other business brokers because I had such trust in Dan and his colleagues. It was a relief to know they were there in my corner, made the deal process as smooth as possible and ensured that all I's were dotted, and T's crossed in the contract.
The PCO M&A Specialist team did everything they said they would do for me with great precision and were always looking out for my best interests. It doesn't get any better than that, and so I'd highly recommend this team of experts to any owner who's contemplating the sale of their pest management business.
When the LEADERS of the Pest Management Industry Decide to Sell Their Businesses, They Choose the LEADERS of the Pest Management Merger and Acquisition Business to Help Them Sell their Businesses for Maximum after Tax Dollars.
We are fortunate that we had the PCO M&A Specialists team to look after our interests, find the right deal, negotiate and structure it for maximum after-tax dollars. They did everything they said they would do for us always looking out for our best interests. We highly recommend this team of experts to any owner who's contemplating the sale of their pest management business.
When the time came to sell, we knew that Dan Gordon, CPA, his attorney partner, John Corrigan, and their team of MBAs and CPAs would get us the best deal on all
aspects important to our family. PCO M&A Specialists also did an outstanding job coordinating all the moving parts leading up to the consummation of the transaction.
Selling a long time established family business is a huge and very emotional decision. Dan and John helped us make the decision to sell, and did a great job getting us the best offer while making sure that we minimized the tax bite. I can't say enough about how they navigated the valuation and the tax and legal minefields in getting our deal done!
The PCO M&A Specialists team worked very closely with me to help me achieve my primary goals. Dan, John, and the entire PCO M&A Specialists team are seasoned professionals, and their expertise in the finances and unique legalities of the pest control industry resulted in a deal that went smoothly and achieved an outcome that exceeded my expectations.
The PCO M&A Specialists team are CPAs, Analysts, MBAs and a transactional attorney ready to help. Their skill set includes determining value, marketing sellers to many buyers who have significant cash, are ready to buy, and who they have great relationships with. It's a very powerful combination of talent that puts a seller in the driver seat.
Their expertise is far reaching and multidimensional. They don't just broker the deal, collect a commission and leave you to your own accountant or attorney who may not be familiar with how pest industry deals get done. They are a team of seasoned professionals who are ready to help.
Based on my own experience I think PCO M&A Specialists, not unlike my New Mexico applicator's license, are #1 in delivering on their service promise. They've assembled an outstanding team of professionals that help clients interested in selling their businesses achieve maximum value.
I count my blessings for having been able to work with and come to rely upon such an experienced business brokerage team as PCO M&A Specialists. They did everything they said they would do with great precision and were always looking out for the best interests of my wife and me. It doesn't get any better than that!

If you want to become a Cypriot (a citizen of Cyprus), be ready to do some paperwork. Start by figuring out the best way to apply for citizenship, such as applying based on your parents' nationality or the fact that you've invested in Cyprus. Next, you'll need to fill out the application and provide documentation. Finish up the application by paying the fee, certifying it, and submitting it.
Part 1 of 3:
Determining Your Eligibility
1Examine the different types of citizenship you can obtain. Cyprus has a number of different ways you can gain citizenship. Review the embassy page to determine how you can apply.
- For instance, you can apply for citizenship based on relationships, such as having parents or a spouse with Cyprus citizenship. You can also apply to live in Cyprus if you have been living there for 7 years or if you invest in Cyprus as a businessperson.
2Apply for citizenship based on a relationship. If you were born after August 16, 1960 and your father was Cypriot, you can apply for citizenship. If you were born after June 11, 1999 and your mother was Cypriot, you can also apply for citizenship. This application is known as Application for a Consular Birth Certificate.
- You can also apply through UK citizenship. If you were born before August 16, 1960, are a UK citizen, and your father is Cypriot, you can apply for citizenship this way.
- Another option is to apply as a spouse of a Cypriot citizen.
3Apply for citizenship if you've lived in Cyprus for 7 years. You must have lived in Cyprus for 7 years, though if your parents or children live in Cyprus, 5 years will suffice. You must have lived continuously in Cyprus for the 12 months prior to applying for citizenship.[1] X Research source
4Choose citizenship by investment if you can invest. You can also pick citizenship by Naturalization of Investors in Cyprus by exception. This option is for people who have invested 2,000,000 euros or more in Cyprus.[2] X Research source
5Pick and obtain the correct form. Each of these different types of applications has a different form. For instance, the Application for a Consular Birth Certificate is form M121. Check on the embassy page to figure out which form you need or call the embassy directly.
- You can obtain all of the forms from your local embassy, though you can also find most of them online at the website for the Ministry of the Interior. In the United States, obtain the forms from the Consulate Office of the Embassy of the Republic of Cyprus in Washington, DC.
Part 2 of 3:
Applying for Citizenship
1Fill in the application. Depending on the application, you will need to fill in information like your address, your parents' names, and your nationality. You will need to print the form out first. You will also need to provide information about your parents if you're applying for citizenship based on their citizenship.[3] X Research source
2Gather the required documentation. Each form requires a little bit different documentation. However, you will always need a birth certificate, as well as a copy of your passport for the embassy.
- For some forms, such as the M121, you'll need a copy of your parents' marriage certificate and copies of their passports. You may also need a copy of the certificate of registration for the parent, if they have one.
- You'll also need 2 passport-size photos. You can get these taken at most drug stores and some big-box stores.[4] X Research source
- Include a stamp worth 8.54 euros with the application.
3Add additional documents if you're applying as a spouse. You'll need a statement of harmonious cohabitation from Officer of the District Administration Office or the diplomatic authority. You'll also need a statement of cohabitation from a local authority.
- If your spouse is living abroad, you can still apply, but you'll need to attach a letter stating why you are requesting this citizenship. You must have been married for at least 3 years. If you've been married for 5 years and have a child, you don't need to add the letter.
4Invest in the country if you're applying for naturalization by exception. One of the main ways to apply for citizenship in Cyprus is to invest in the country. To apply for this citizenship, you must invest 2,000,000 euros in the country. This investment can be made in construction, in a building, in a company, or in investment funds. These investments must be made in the 3 years leading up to when you apply.[5] X Research source
- You'll also need a clean criminal record, as well as a residence in Cyprus and a residence permit.
- You will need paperwork proving this information, such as contracts of sale, proofs of payment, and investment plans.[6] X Research source
Part 3 of 3:
Finishing the Application
1Pay the application fee. As of 2018, the fee to apply for citizenship ranges from 20 to 300 euros, depending on the application. You can pay the fee to the embassy, but you need to submit a copy of the receipt with your application.
2Have the document certified. If your country signed the Hague Convention of 1961, you'll have the document certified by apostille. If not, you'll have it double certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the embassy or consulate.
- Check if your country is part of the Hague Convention at https://www.hcch.net/.
- Use your local government to certify the document by apostille. For instance, in Oklahoma, you can submit the document through the mail or walk it in. If you submit by mail, you'll need to include a cover letter stating that you need the document for Cyprus. Include a telephone number, email address, and return address. You'll need to pay a fee to get the document authorized this way.[7] X Research source
3Submit it to the embassy or Ministry of the Interior. You can submit the application to the embassy in your country. If you're living in Cyprus, submit to the Ministry of Interior, Nicoisa. You can do this by mail or in person.[8] X Research source
4Wait for the advertisements to run if you're applying for naturalization. If you're becoming a citizen after living in Cyprus for 7 years, the government will run 2 advertisements in the district you live. The advertisements will ask if anyone has reason to object to your citizenship.[9] X Research source
- You will need copies of these advertisements to finish your application. Submit them to the Ministry of the Interior.
5Contact the embassy if you wait longer than 3 months. Once you have completed all the paperwork, wait for the response from the government. It could take up to 3 months so be patient. If the application is taking too long, contact your local embassy or the Ministry of the Interior.Advertisement

I'll be signing off with one final interview from use Black Like Burns, I'll be heading off to it in a few minutes. But I wanted to thank all of you, as your support has given me a career, and a future off the shitty streets here on Callisto.
I'm going to wrap up this post how I began, with some news brief reposts:
"No one ever said Electric Mayhem were saints, I just always assumed they weren't monsters." -Editorial, London Plex Listener
"I think the fact that people care is hypocritical. Every military kills people, tortures people, destroys their lives. The thing that is rubbing people wrong is that Electric Mayhem is decidedly paramilitary in nature. They aren't official, and there is no one regulating them. They punish their own members, but rather indiscriminately. No one elected them, but no one elected our own military, or our CEO's. They days of democracy have long been over, we're all someone's bitch, and the fact that they are no one's bitch simply makes the rest of us jealous. They're still selfish, but so is any vigilante." -Opinion Peace, Regulated Art-Production Facility Plex Village Voice
"I have no problem with bastards if they're killing Shi." -Horario Hicks, Admiral, Earther Forces
"If a leaf fell in your eye, you would not blame the tree. When, however, a group devises to blame the forest when they shake the trees, you cannot help but label them fools." -Master Okurimono, Revered Sensei
"Raving Red, Radical, dress em' up however you like and give em' a medal, they are still scum." - Nann Barow, Earther Commander
"I think you're giving Doitzel a hard rap. He does what he has to do. This ain't Disneyland Plex." -Raving Red Jane, Accord Leader
"Saying we can abandon any ally against the Shi is pointless. Yes, they are morally bankrupt, but we need them. We need them to live. The argument for morality dies in the fact of the complete Xenocide of our species." - Chicago Plex Tribune
"Many who we turn into heroes do not "deserve it" for all people are flawed. Flaws create humanity. All we can hope is that those who we do idolize step up to continue to deserve our graces after we learn their faults. There is always forgiveness." - Takumi Sun Times
"I don't care what they say, Jade and Natsu are still hootttttttttt!!!!!!" -The Daily Wink
