Kennedy Ejacha
Ayah Paul Abine on the 9 thof December, 2016 on his Facebook page posted his proposed team in which his name features as general Secretary, to lead Southern Cameroonians faced with the atrocities aganist them in the current struggle and open dialogue with the Republic of Cameroon .
Titled' ENGLISH CAMEROON LEADERSHIP TEAM' Ayah Paul said his proposed team as the steering body that will henceforth guide English Cameroonians in their bid to achieve the peaceful resolution of Anglophone demands:
While some think it's a brilliant idea and names like Carlson Anyangwe,Mancho Bibixy, Christopher Fomunyoh, goerge Ngwane Rt.Colonel Hans Anagho,Charles taku, Kah Walla and Dr. Nfor Susungi should been included on Ayah's list,Others questioned who gave Ayah the authority to form such a list in the first place,according information filtering into alafnet.com news desk.
Justice Ayah Paul Abine president of PAP political party
One of such,US based Kennedy Ejacha today 12th of December, 2016in a one cent advice to Justice Paul Ayah Abine says English speaking Cameroonians are not that cheap to the point where our leadership should be plugged from the social media market Square;
"I need someone to help me get this message to Justice Ayah Paul Abine, please stop this erratic behavior that tends to undermine the seriousness of the Struggle for Social Justice for the people of West Cameroon. We are not that cheap to the point where our leadership should be plugged from the social media market Square.
Sir, I have tremendous respect for you. I am honored to have served as a Senior Staffer at the National Assembly of Cameroon at the time when your enigmatic persona became household in Cameroon as a result of your defiance against the retrogressive mentality of your former political party mates of the CPDM.
So I know firsthand your repulsion for the CPDM régime. However, without casting any great doubts on your motives, I find your most recent behavior on social networks to be very irresponsible for a leader of your stature.
While I find that our people are currently engaged in the battle for their lives, it becomes very demeaning that you use a forum as porous as social media to want to chart a cause for the determination of the leadership of our people. What about those lawyers, teachers, and members of the civil society who started the movements that have brought us this far?
Do you think they don't have the ability to espouse the mantra of Leadership? Why do you join the chorus of the CPDM regime's henchmen who throw insults at those who started this new chapter of highlighting the plagues of West Cameroon that are very much similar to those of the other regions of Cameroon?
My best advice to you and to many others reading this piece is that we should coalesce behind the leadership of the teachers, lawyers, and civil society and help push what they started to an expected end.
Let us all join our voices and tell the CPDM regime that those lawyers, teachers, and elements of our civil society who started this new chapter of peaceful demonstration have the support of all their brothers and sisters.
God bless you,"Pastor Kenedy Ejacha wrote.
Below, Alafnet.com has attached the ENGLISH CAMEROON LEADERSHIP TEAM proposed by Justice Ayah Paul Abine :

Immediate Report - Possible decline in value of subsidiaries
Immediate Report
Possible Decline in Value of Subsidiaries
Tel Aviv, Israel – January 8, 2019 – Bezeq The Israel Telecommunication Corp., Ltd. (TASE: BEZQ), announced today that on January 7, 2019 as part of the multi-year forecasts of the Bezeq Group companies, meetings were held at the Boards of the Company's subsidiaries, Pelephone Communications Ltd, Bezeq International Ltd ("Bezeq International") and D.B.S. Satellite Services (1998) Ltd ("yes") (jointly "the Subsidiaries"), concerning a review of the multi-year forecasts based on preliminary estimates and certain scenarios of the Subsidiaries' managements.
As a result of these discussions and allowing for the cash flows derived from the above scenarios in the forecast period and for the purpose of preparing the Company's annual financial statements, there are expected to be updated valuations as a result of which and according to their results, there is a possibility of a very material decline in the value of the businesses and/or a decline in the value of some of the Subsidiaries.
The Company is weighing whether it is correct, in accounting terms, to treat the businesses of Bezeq Fixed-Line, yes and Bezeq International as a single cash-generating unit in place of three separate units, and therefore it is considering the appropriate accounting treatment. Treating these businesses as separate cash-generating units is likely to lead to the aforementioned decline in value of the business and to writing off material amounts of the book value of yes in the Company's balance sheet, and to an adjustment of the net profit and of the Company's shareholders' equity. On the other hand, treating these businesses as a single cash-generating unit is likely to lead to a less significant write-off in the book value of yes.
The Company has not yet carried out updated valuations and has still not completed the process of assessing the accounting treatment, as stated above. The managements of the Subsidiaries are constantly assessing the commercial implications and the steps required to improve the commercial results.
Part of the information included in this report is forward looking information in the meaning of the term in the Securities Law, 1968, and is based, inter alia, on estimates and forecasts concerning future trends in the markets applicable to the Subsidiaries, and the impact of these on the values of the Subsidiaries. Accordingly, the information may not come about in whole or in part if the Company's estimates and forecasts will be realized differently than expected.
The above information constitutes a translation of the Immediate Report published by the Company. The Hebrew version was submitted by the Company to the relevant authorities pursuant to Israeli law, and represents the binding version and the only one having legal effect. This translation was prepared for convenience purposes only.

Mindfulness in Newcastle
It is with great pleasure that I can announce that my colleague Ani Tselha and I are co-delivering the Introductory Mindfulness Practitioner Foundation Course for the Mindfulness Association in Newcastle upon Tyne at Northumbria University, May 28th/29th 2016.
This is the first time the Foundation Course has been delivered in Newcastle. For me, living in Whitley Bay and having taught this course in London, York, Scarborough and Samye Ling, it's more than fitting-for this North Easterner: it's like inviting you to my home.
For those of you who have not experienced the delights of Newcastle upon Tyne, it's often called a bijou city, for you can practically walk from one end to the next, quite easily. It also has one of the most architecturally stunning streets in the U.K.-Grey Street, which runs from the heart of a pulsing and thriving shopping complex, Eldon Square. What is more, it has some beguiling cultural hotspots. They range from the music complex of The Sage and the post-industrial modern art of the Baltic Building across the Tyne to the tranquility and wild solitude of Jesmond Dene and Armstrong Park.
Ani Tselha and I have taken great care in deciding on the venue. After ruling out quite a few, we settled on Rutherford Hall in Northumbria University. This means that when delivering the course, we will be right in the academic heart of student life in Newcastle, yet snuggled far enough away to provide calm and reflection.
We also decided that Northumbria University was ideal as a central meeting point for access to cafes, restaurants, coffee bars, art galleries and cinemas (check out the Tyneside Cinema at https://www.tynesidecinema.co.uk/ ) but also close to car parks, rail, bus and metro stations: ideal for anybody arriving from far away. We also sought good, yet cheap B&B's-the University offer nights from £30 pp-a bargain, and for any folk who want to stop over, a warm Newcastle welcome awaits.
We would love to see you on this course and invite you to book! Please email: firstname.lastname@example.com or go to: http://www.mindfulnessassociation.net/
Warmest regards,
Graeme Armstrong* and Ani Tselha**

Throw away your short belts - direct drive.
variador replied to snowygrouch's topic in Third party products & modificationsHere in the states Ultimachine sells the couplers and 8 mm steel rods. The steel rods were part of a 5 rod kit to make a 3d printer. All these parts worked well in the assembly to get rid of the short belts. Only needed to cut one of the steel rods. A dremel with a metal cutting disk did the job without any trouble. Thanks for the information to make the upgrade Calum! By the way Ultimachine sells 3mm plastic. So far it is the best I have used that ships within the states.
Different PLA different results?
variador replied to valcrow's topic in Improve your 3D printsThey look reasonably close to me. I have seen that much change printing the same part back to back. This may be blasphemous in the Ultimaker forum, sorry everyone; If you want the parts to match exactly, best way is to get 1 print you like, make a mold, and pour as many duplicates as you need. The mold needs to set overnight but you can pour a print every 20 minutes or so, with that one mold. Plastic of Different strength and flexibility's are available. You have to add the color yourself. Back to PLA, the consistency between rolls has been giving me headaches. "Is it the PLA or is it my printer?" I am finding that each supplier has a consistency of its own. The Ultimaker PLA is very good but getting it shipped to the USA is prohibitive in cost. Maybe someone knows a technique here for inexpensive shipping here that they could share. Ultimachine is my favorite supplier so far in the states. All the PLA seems to print well and consistently from them. My all time favorite is/was A2Aprinting from Canada. The layers stick together really well and there is great strength and flexibility in the printed piece. Unfortunately the shipping is nearly same as the cost of the plastic and their inventory goes Out of Stock. These are just my opinions. I am not an engineer and don't print for profit. I mean this next comment in the best way possible, your question is like "opening a can of worms" to use an old saying. You can follow many paths. A piece can print quite differently depending on the slicing software you use. Search that one in the forums. 3d printing seems to have an unlimited amount of variables. These forums provide a wealth of information about these variables. Take that information and see what works best for you. Nothing is carved in stone, what works for one doesn't always work for the other. These variables make answering the details of your question difficult. The environment in which your printer sits can effect the print noticeably for example. To sum it up, your results look very good to me. Yes, to using the same roll of PLA if you want two prints to be as close as they can get. Second best is another roll from the same supplier ordered at the same time so they are from the same batch. Here's hoping something from my opinions helps you
Printing Sideways
variador replied to dazzan's topic in Ultimaker 3D printersArch1Tech Your print didn't slowly go off or lean after a few layers. It looks to have gone way off in one second. Just finished getting past a similar looking problem with a firmware reload. The trick for me was to really get a reload. Still trying to figure out that one. Have you tried printing something else? In my case every piece would suddenly go off track by more than a centimeter right away. Very similar to the way your movie plays. Hope you find your problem
Resetting firmware
variador posted a topic in Ultimaker 3D printersJust finished finding a problem where the UM would start printing out of alignment near the beginning of the second layer because the firmware became corrupted. Tried resetting the firmware from Cura 13.03 , didn't work. Went to Cura 12.12 and tried from there, didn't work. Went to replicator 26 and tried from there, didn't work. Went to Netfabb and tried reset machine settings. Went back to Cura 13.03 reset firmware. Took 5 times to connect. Once connected it printed in alignment for the entire print. Why is firmware so hard to reset, for me anyway? I use arduinos and make little sketch changes all the time and never need to upload twice. Does this arduino need to be cleared in some way before uploading? This is the same problem you encounter if you want to go back to Cura 12.12 for some reason. Cura 12 won't work after making 13 work with firmware change. Why won't the firmware from 12 reinstall? Is this the same problem? Do I ask too many questions in one message? :-) Is a firmware upload the same as uploading a sketch to arduino? Could someone point me in a direction of enlightenment? Thank you
Hit endstop z
variador replied to variador's topic in Ultimaker 3D printersThanks for the reply Gr5, Corrupted firmware was the culprit. Nothing worked after many failed attempts using a different setup every time. Tried a much smaller piece after tightened everything up (nothing loose). It went bad at the same spot on a smaller piece ( after first layer fan starts, outline goes good and then bam! It goes all out of whack. Slowed the print speed way down since this is the second layer when everything speeds up. Same problem. This problem occurred once before because of a firmware problem. After trying different methods, the firmware finally reset and once again everything is fine.
Fixing Pulley Innacuracy
variador replied to snowygrouch's topic in Third party products & modificationsHi, It is still May 6th where I am at. Does that count? If so put me down for a set of ten with the shipment to the US. Thanks Don
Hit endstop z
variador posted a topic in Ultimaker 3D printersHit endstop Z seems fairly easy to understand if it means what it says on the UltiControler. However, This error occurs during the second layer of the print that is going over exactly the first layer of the print. The print never gets anything but taller and only 6 mm at that. Once the error occurs the extruder head starts out of line by shifting Y towards the front of the printer. Haven't tried printing it straight from Cura yet. It is a rather large print but well within the boundaries and smaller than others printed before. Has happened twice in what seemed to be the same place. Second time was after deleting the first file from the card and slicing it again in Cura. The Ulticontroller is a week old and has had no problems. Anyone have an idea of what's happening? Thanks
Some various questions
variador replied to spiruline's topic in Ultimaker 3D printersCura with the UltiControler is great! Quick workflow, I love it. Nice job Daid! Working with some white plastic now from ultimachine that is 2.78 mm. Getting enough plastic is a problem right now. UltiControler is reading the 210.54. Updating the firmware to show percentages sounds like the answer. What firmware needs updating? The UltiControler or the printer? From Daids message it seems if Cura talks in percentages then the UltiControler shows percentages. Or Cura 13.01 upgrades the machines firmware then the UltiControler knows percentages. Where the firmware resides that gets the upgrade is confusing. That all being said, I appreciate the time Illuminarti took to reply to the topic message. Very helpful. Thanks to all
What drove your purchase decision?
variador replied to tom's topic in Coffee cornerWhy did I purchase an Ultimaker? My first printer was a Rapman, enough said? Keeping the structure square while the extruder that includes the feed motor jerks around is almost as hard as getting the z axis to go straight up and down. Put a Rapman alongside an Ultimaker and you have an engineering design class. Why a 3d printer? I can make things I want that they don't sell.
Netfab (Mac) doesn't connect
variador replied to xonegon's topic in Ultimaker CuraThat is great advice Joergen. Connecting Netfabb to Ultimaker usually leads to your Ultimaker acting like it needs an Exorcism. IMHO based only on my experiences. The management may not agree with the authors thoughts and opinions.
Table calibration
variador replied to darkdude's topic in Ultimaker CuraSorry I can't help, but can add the problems are mutual. The startup Gcode slams the extruder head into the back the slams it into the right side. seems like the bed is 150 and it wants to go to 205. I can tell you that Cura prints nicely. If you need a print the fastest and easiest way will be with Cura. You have to become pretty good with Netfabb before you beat the results from Cura.
Cura 12something on the Mac is my choice. After getting used to Cura it makes Replicator with Skeinforge seem like a chore. I do miss the ability to adjust the extruder rate. This isn't usually very important until I run into some hard to work with plastic.
Thank you for the thread! Thanks Mr seeker. Same experience as dbotos here. I like being able to control speed, extruder rate, fan, and temp during the print. With Cura 13. Whatever I even lost the ability to speed up or slow down by %. Previous Cura wouldn't work at all so I removed everything. Read this thread and now I can once again use replicator 26 after losing the ability after installing Cura to try it out. Cura was good especially great at connecting but once in a while I needed that full control. Maybe I'll set Cura up on the Mac side of my computer then the drivers won't get in each others way. Thanks again to Hallz for getting the discussion going.
Trouble Printing Cup like parts
variador replied to julsjunior's topic in Ultimaker CuraSorry thought this was a different question and don't know how to delete.
Connection with ReplicatorG
variador replied to variador's topic in Ultimaker CuraGave it a try, sorry to say no joy. Netfabb is is not controllable at this point. It is moving diagonally to print a square. It is trying to print at temps below 160 even though it is set for PLA. The Gcode I was getting along with is not running the way it did. This is what I was prepared to figure out so it is not that big of a deal. How do I start at square 1? Or How do I clean out the residing Gcode? Or is there such thing. Reinstall Netfabb? It says that it is using Ultimator connector V 1.02 Cura is Ok. Haven't gone back to Netfabb after having Cura work. Are both apps using the same arduino program? Seems like it would have to be because I didn't see a time when it would have been loading the arduino. I am confused about this firmware thing. Is firmware the arduino code? Can't see what Cura thinks is running it. Is this explained anywhere? Surprised I can print anything based on what I know about how it all works. Thanks

The release of the Defence Procurement Strategy (DPS) in February 2014 has significantly transformed the way equipment is acquired by the Canadian Armed Forces. For Industry Canada, the goal is now to leverage the major recapitalization effort underway across the Army, Navy and Air Force to help Canadian companies and innovators grow, conduct R&D and find new markets. Among the department's new tools are an industrial benefits policy focused on technological opportunities and Canadian-content weighted value propositions on which to assess the bids of prime contractors. Philip Jennings, Assistant Deputy Minister for Industry Canada's Industry Sector, recently sat down with associate editor Chris Thatcher.
Conventional wisdom says the state can best foster innovation by getting out of the way, that it doesn't do well at creating or shaping markets. Yet there has been a significant public sector role in many technological breakthroughs. What is your larger role in fostering innovation and Canadian entrepreneurs?
Innovation and entrepreneurship lie at the core of Industry Canada's mission. Some people actually refer to our department as the Innovation Department. It is really about trying to strengthen Canada's ability to compete in the global knowledge-based economy, and the department's role in these areas is multifaceted and spanning a multitude of policy and program areas. Part of my sector's function is to provide an industry lens to other departments as they develop policies and programs in order to fully understand the potential impacts on industry from what they are proposing to do. It's been a successful model and we have a lot of interaction with other departments.
With respect to innovation more broadly, Industry Canada is active on a number of fronts. We have developed economic framework policies that encourage private sector investment in science, technology and innovation. We are responsible for setting the strategic direction for government-wide innovation policies and programs. In this respect, the Prime Minister recently released the renewed Science, Technology and Innovation Strategy, which builds on the foundation laid out in the 2007 framework, but goes further to ensure that Canada remains well positioned in the global arena for research excellence, talent and wealth. The renewed strategy will leverage the expertise and resources of post-secondary institutions, industry and government to translate discoveries and ideas into applications that will improve the day-to-day lives of Canadians and generate economic growth and jobs across the country. And we also work with arms-length partners on programs and initiatives that support research, development and innovation.
In terms of entrepreneurship, we do direct assistance through something called Future Entrepreneur Canada, where we support the next generation of small business leaders through financing and mentoring services. BizPal offers single point of online access to information entrepreneurs need to establish and grow their business. The Business Development Bank of Canada is managed to support SMEs and entrepreneurs. And the National Research Council's Industrial Research Assistance Program recently established the Canadian Accelerator and Incubator Program to support outstanding incubators and accelerators that help early-stage firms and entrepreneurs, and promote a higher output of SMEs that are investment-ready and able to develop into sustainable, high-growth businesses.
Is there a larger vision for the defence and aerospace sector or is the DPS more about improving processes that people have been critical about for many years?
There is absolutely a larger vision for the defence and aerospace sector in Canada, one whose long-term competitiveness is grounded in innovation, a focus on global markets, and a shift to higher-value knowledge work. The sector has been a priority for the government, with direct programs and a formal offset policy since 1986. The government has recently transformed the offset policy to motivate companies to make higher quality investments that have a longer-term impact. In his report, Tom Jenkins references the fact that we have a window of investment that the Canadian Armed Forces and the Canadian Coast Guard would be making, and what you want to do is build and leave behind a legacy of strong Canadian capabilities that will outlast the life of those procurements and create an industrial base that will continue to grow and access opportunities both domestically and globally. Of course, improving processes under the DPS is one of the ways we will achieve that vision.
There is a vigorous debate in the U.S. over a perceived loss of a military technological edge. Is that factoring into how you look at defence capability for Canada?
We realize that for firms in Canada to remain competitive, they have to continue to invest in R&D and be at the cutting-edge of technology. So our tools are always focused on supporting that type of innovation. The Strategic Aerospace and Defence Initiative and the recently announced Technology Demonstration Program are really focused on supporting that R&D and innovation investment and making sure that we support an ecosystem. For example, the Technology Demonstration Program by definition requires larger companies to partner with smaller companies, as well as research institutions, and it's really about trying to create an innovation cluster that supports the growth of the sector.
Canada's offset policy has always had a focus on innovation. Under the Industrial and Regional Benefits (IRB) Policy, we had what we called multipliers – enhanced credit – for firms who made investments in R&D, including in public/private consortia. That remains in place, but now under the Industrial and Technological Benefits (ITB) Policy, strong R&D investments are further incented in Value Propositions that are rated and are a weighted element in the bid selection.
You now have a deeper knowledge base. Do you also have a greater "match making" role, advising SMEs and OEMs of possible connections they might not have picked up on?
The "match-making" role is important and Industry Canada works in strong partnership with the Regional Development Agencies (RDAs), which are key partners in highlighting where Canadian capabilities exist. The RDAs play an integral matchmaking role, linking Canadian-based suppliers with prime contractors, setting up networking opportunities and keeping industry in their regions aware of what is going.
A tool from the IRB policy which we will retain is: companies had to develop "regional plans" as well as SME plans to demonstrate that they had sought out solutions from across the country to support the acquisition. In that process, the RDAs play an important role coordinating and working with the potential bidders to understand what Canadian solutions could support their bid. On top of that, we have a much stronger incentive in a sense; we now have a rated criteria for supplier development. So we do expect to have an even stronger role than in the past in terms of match making.
Are the RDAs engaged in a different way as well?
Just as Industry Canada has a much bigger role than we used to in and throughout the procurement process, I've seen the RDAs step up, recognizing the greater impact of the new policy. We now have a stronger tool to incent high-quality outcomes and now a number of regional agencies are starting to align some of their programming to support the defence sector. Western Economic Diversification, for example, has the defence sector as one of its priority areas. The RDAs have and will continue to have an important role in the evaluation of bids, evaluating the quality of the value propositions that come in. That role in the past used to be a pass/fail, which was easier than the rated system we are moving to. All the agencies have embraced this and see the potential to support the defence sector in their own regions.
Given that a number of spin-offs occur beyond the defence sector, is the intent to have indirect benefits also focused on the sector or are you open to investments in other sectors?
The IRB policy supported investments that have a technological value that is as high or higher than what is being procured. The ITB policy, with the release of the Value Proposition Guide, listed four criteria that are key to driving where we want to see investment take place: investments in the defence sector; investments in supplier development; investments in R&D and innovation; and investments in export potential. If an investment hits all four of those criteria, then that will score better than others, all things being equal. Our ultimate goal is to support economic growth, and the ITB policy does not eliminate the possibility of high-quality investments that are not in the defence sector.
The Value Proposition Guide is a flexible framework and the requirements will be determined on a procurement-by-procurement basis. We want to engage with industry early so that they can inform the procurement strategy decisions. If investments in other sectors make sense on a particular procurement, we want industry to let us know.
What aspects of the IRB policy do you intend to keep?
Most of the successful elements of the IRB policy will remain under the ITB policy. Policy features such as the Investment Framework will continue to be utilized to support investments in innovation and SMEs. The ITB policy will also continue to incentivize R&D activities in partnership with publicly funded research organizations by allowing prime contractors to receive multiplied credits for these types of investments.
Fundamentally, the ITB policy strengthens the successful attributes of the IRB policy by requiring bidders to compete on the basis of economic benefits that they can bring to Canada. In particular, whereas before bidders were selected on the basis of price and technical merit, under the DPS the government will now also assess the value propositions.
All of this is predicated on good metrics. Is a role for the Defence Analytics Institute (DAI) to help measure how well you are meeting those targets?
On behalf of Industry Canada, Statistics Canada performed a comprehensive survey of the sector in 2013 and it will conduct a more detailed follow up survey this year. So part of how we are going to get there is by establishing some solid metrics and we are well on our way.
When the DPS was in development, Industry Canada in parallel made sure we started setting up a baseline, and we are now deepening our analysis. Industry Canada has subscriptions to commercial sources of data and market intelligence, and we supplement this through consultations with industry and other government departments and agencies to ensure we have as comprehensive a picture of the sector as we can. The government's key gap, therefore, relates not so much to gathering more data as it does to harnessing additional analytic capabilities to translate this data into policy relevant information and analysis. To that end, an external analytic function performed by an independent party could be beneficial.
You have said you expect ITBs to apply to about 15 procurements per year, up from about five per year. If you have to engage earlier and delve deeper with industry, do you have the workforce for that substantial increase?
This is definitely a significantly enhanced role for Industry Canada. It is one we embrace. I have said at a number of forums that having a tool as powerful as the ITB policy is something I wish I had to support growth, innovation and investments in other sectors. But as you mentioned, the transformation from the IRB to the ITB policy has expanded the scope of our work, not just in terms of our role in each procurement but now in every procurement over $20 million, so we do expect that this will almost triple the number of leveraged procurements than was the case under the IRB policy.
To fulfill our heightened role under DPS, there has been a realignment within the department and in my own sector to ensure we have the right structure and resources in place to support this. We have brought on some new people. We are also looking to other departments such as National Defence and Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development and the regional development agencies to contribute insights and expertise and support of our procurement-by-procurement market analysis. And we will also be tapping into third-party expertise to validate and supplement our internal analysis.

Finding a Voice for the Love of Dogs: a life changing story
by Anne Palmer
As I sit here in my usual spot, at our old kitchen table, gazing out our bay window, admiring the lush green grass all the rain has brought, my two pups, Nala the Black Lab and Bentley the English Cream Retriever sit and sleep at my feet.
If you peeked into my world at this very moment, you would imagine one of peace, zen, a loving and warm sanctuary for our family, whether they be two-legged or four-legged beings.
And most of the time, this is quite true. Yet as every one of us in this mad world marches on in our busy days and lives, life bestows upon us unexpected surprises. Some are miraculous and beautiful, some are devastating and dreadful. The good and the bad, the yin and the yang, the light trying to overcome the dark.
Those of us who are animal lovers are usually the ones who appreciate the simple beauties and love shared with us from them, whether they are domesticated or wild. With that, usually comes a love and appreciation for nature and all the triumphant splendor it brings to us each day. For our little family, dogs happen to be our companions of choice. They are our other family members who join us on this journey of life, and thanks to them, they keep us grounded, remind us without speaking, of what is really important, and how love and loyalty are two priceless and sacred traits humans could use more of.
Many of us dog lovers wonder if it's just a fluke that dog spelled backwards is god? A friend recently gave us a plaque with the following sentiment engraved on it:
God sent angels down to Earth in the form of dogs with notes saying "Don't judge, just love." They ate the notes but they keep trying to deliver the message.
If you've ever loved a dog, you know exactly what this means how true these words are.
Last year, in late May, my two dogs, Sadie and Chudley went to meet my friend and her beloved Great Pyrenees for our morning neighborhood walk. That fateful morning a most randomly tragic event occurred. One that would scar and change our family and me forever.
Sadie, our yellow Lab, and Chudley, are goofy Chocolate Lab, and I met our friends on the side of the road, when out of nowhere, a giant truck from behind me came and hit them, swiped me on my side, where I was knocked down to the ground, witnessing the site and sound of my angels in agony. I thought for a split second that it would be my time to go too. As the hell and tragedy were breaking around me faster than the speed of light it seemed, I braced myself for the hurt, but thanked the big guy in the sky for the time and life I was blessed to have. To my shock, I survived. I got back up and watched the huge truck drive away. Not speeding, even stopping at the three-way stop sign, it drove off, while I screamed in shock and horror. My two babies lay on the road squashed, bleeding, but still smiling if you can believe it. My dear friend and her Great Pyrenees were unharmed, and she dialed 911. Help came, but for my dogs, there was no emergency transport for them. Luckily, and I still refer to her as an angel who came just when the urgency arose. Our other neighbor happened to be driving by and pulled over to take my two babies to the vet for immediate medical treatment.
After I made it out of E.R. I went to visit Sadie and Chudley at the vet. I was in shock and knew that the outcome for them wouldn't be as fortunate as mine. They had saved my life. Sadie had to be euthanized as her whole back end was completely demolished. Chudley they thought had a fighting chance. They transferred him to a high care facility where he could have around the clock care. Two days later, we learned there was too much internal damage for him to make it. With broken hearts, we said our good-byes to him. Saying good-bye to Sadie and Chudley was the hardest and most horrific thing we have ever experienced. The pain we felt will always haunt us, and I forever carry great guilt and shame of not being able to save them.
The media was abuzz with this story as cameras on nearby houses had caught moments of this tragedy as it unfolded that morning. The police eventually caught the suspect, who ironically happened to be a local dog walker. It was the most sad chain of events one could imagine. A nightmare that was real.
Our family spent the summer in mourning, in brokenness and darkness. The outpour of love, support, and kindness that came to us was humbling to our core. We could not have gotten through such a harrowing time without all of the love from people in our community and beyond. People we didn't even know supported us through the storm. It was amazing and touching to our shattered hearts and souls. From this tragedy, writing about it became my refuge. I was able to create a book in Sadie and Chudley's honor, titled Finding a Voice for the Love of Dogs. This was one small tribute to them and all the dogs who have passed before us. Dogs bring in so much light to our worlds and lives. They are the stars who light up the night skies.
We talk a lot about how much our dogs did for us, day in, day out. They did not ask for much. They gave without keeping score. Dogs are the role models for us humans on how to live well and with integrity. Our dogs are our angels, forever with us, and teaching us on how to live life fully, treasure each moment, love without judgement, and forgive easily.
I am in healing mode and weekly therapy helps me with PTSD. Our family is in rebuilding mode. Daily we reflect upon the unconditional love we have been so lucky to receive from our dogs. Past and present. With each sunset, we send out a silent prayer to our fallen dogs, and thank them for everything they gave us. We do see a lot of them in our new puppies, Nala and Bentley. The wonderful book A Dog's Purpose, speaks volumes to us.
Dogs come into our lives to teach us how to be better people. They truly are a gift from God. Just like the plaque our friend gave us. We are forever grateful to them. Dogs make us better human beings

It's almost here.
The "it" above is the change to HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) legislation that will take effect from the 4th May 2018.
Just in case you've missed it, here is a quick summary of what's happening and some of the potential implications for you in terms of HMO insurance.
The background
Back in 2016, it became clear that the government was going to press ahead with regulatory changes covering HMO properties.
Some of the key components coming out of these revisions include:
- the legislation will now define a minimum living space for tenants in HMO properties;
- virtually all HMO properties will now need to be formally registered and licensed accordingly;
- flats above shops or any other form of commercial premises will now need to be included in HMO licensing requirements;
- landlords will be obliged to provide facilities for the appropriate disposal of rubbish and related storage;
- any reference to "storeys" is being removed from the definition of HMO. This is a hugely important change and it should not be ignored as merely playing with words. Lots of properties, previously excluded from the definition of HMO, will now be picked up by this change.
As a result of these changes, some sources estimate that approximately 160,000 properties currently NOT classified as HMOs will now be re-designated as such.
The implications
For landlords who are already operating an HMO property or those whose properties are about to be included in this definition as a result of the above changes, there are three points to keep in mind:
- you must now register and licence your business with the appropriate local authorities (variations may exist for landlords in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland);
- it is imperative that you can also demonstrate your compliance with the new requirements for such properties;
- you must also review your HMO insurance.
Do please remember that the fines for non-compliance with the revised legislation are unlimited. It is also worth putting this in the context of an increasing political backdrop of attempting to more rigorously impose structures and enforce legislation within the letting sector. Ignoring these changes might be unwise.
Insurance issues
If you are currently operating with a standard landlord insurance policy and find that your property is now about to be re-designated as an HMO, your existing policy may no longer be appropriate.
Typically insurance providers see standard landlord insurance policies and HMO insurance as being two very different things. As you may appreciate, the risk profile of a property with multiple lettings within it is significantly different to say a single-occupant flat.
In some registration formalities, it seems likely as if you might need to demonstrate to the licensing authorities that you are appropriately insured. Equally, from the viewpoint of an HMO insurance provider, you may need to be able to prove that you are fully and appropriately registered.
The two things, licensing and HMO insurance, are inexorably intertwined and it would be risky to consider them as two separate things in terms of your obligations as a landlord.
As the deadline approaches, if you haven't taken action in this area, then it really is time to do so.

Lady Lions Hold Back Wake Forest 68-58
The Lady Lions (6-2) beat Wake Forest (2-5) in their first game since coming back winless from the South Point Shootout. Both teams had rough Vegas trips, as the Demon Decons dropped both of their games as well.
Both teams shot poorly from the field – 29% for Penn State and 32% for Wake Forest – but going 28-33 on free throws helped Penn State out tremendously as they took advantage of a foul happy Wake Forest.
How It Happened
The Lady Lions started the game hot, three quick baskets from Jaida Travascio-Green, Teniya Page, and De'Janae Boykin gave Penn State a quick 6-0 lead. A timeout for Wake Forest was all they needed to wake themselves up, as they answered with suffocating defense and tied up the match at six.
While the Demon Decons shot poorly, the Lady Lions did as well, going 1-8 on field goals. Jaylen Williams pulled through with two free throws and the fantastic freshman pairing of Sam Breen and Kamaria McDaniel came through with points. Wake Forest stayed with it, tying the game back up at 12-12 before a Boykin layup right before the buzzer gave Penn State a 14-12 edge into the second.
Using that late first quarter run as momentum into the second, the Lady Lions ran with it in the second. 11 unanswered points by the Lady Lions, including an electric three-point play by McDaniel gave them a double-digit lead.
Wake Forest forward Ona Udoh came off the bench to score three points for the Demon Deacons to bring them within nine, but Page responded with two straight perfect trips to the line and a layup to erase that tiny run. Wake Forest wouldn't score a filed goal for the remainder of the quarter, only managing two free throws at the end of the second. Layups from Boykin and McDaniel kept pushing the Penn State lead. Travascio-Green made the teams first three of the game, The half came soon after those Wake forest free throws and the Lady Lions took a 20 point lead into the half, 38-18.
After only scoring six points in the second quarter, Wake Forest came back to the land of the living with 17 in the third quarter. While its 20 point lead was trimmed down to 16, Penn State remained fiercely in control. McDaniel went 4-4 from the line, Teniya Page made the team's second three pointer, and Boykin got to ten rebounds on the night. While both teams shot a under 30% on the night, it affected Penn State the least thanks to their control of the glass. Penn State took a 51-35 lead into halftime.
Wake Forest continued its late run, outscoring Penn State and brining the game to within 7. Poor shooting from the Lady Lions, including multiple airballs, didn't do Penn State any favors. Page came in clutch in the closing minutes, nailing a jumper and two free throws to push the Lady Lions to a double-digit lead. A three from Wake Forest forward Elisa Penna brought the Demon Deacons to within eight, but Page made two more free throws to ice it and Penn State walked away with a 68-58 win.
Player Of The Game
Teniya Page | Junior | Guard
She's back! The one consistent presence on a rough shooting night for the Lady Lions, Page led both teams with 21 points while going 10-11 form the charity stripe.
What's Next
The Lady Lions will continue their homestand on Sunday against Manhattan. The game will take place at 2 p.m.

It is what holds your food as you eat. What keeps your body aloft as you sleep. What contains your favorite valuables to protect them. It holds your lamp, television and books. Furniture is all around us, in our office, at home and elsewhere. Learn how to become a smarter furniture shopper by reading the below information.
When purchasing a new bed, make sure you lay down on it to find the perfect comfort level for you. Many times people who choose pillow top mattresses find that the mattress is too soft once they get it home. To help you avoid this, lay down in the bed in the position that you sleep in to ensure it suits your comfort levels.
If you're getting furniture for your teen's room, let them help you. Give them a budget, set some boundaries, and let them choose a few pieces. You can help them mix and match, but a teen will appreciate the freedom of being able to outfit his room and environment the way he sees fit.
Before buying any furniture online, make sure that you read the reviews of the retailer online. There are many people out there that are more than willing to leave reviews after having good or bad experiences. Use this to your advantage when you are looking for a place to buy furniture from.
Never make rash furniture buying decisions. These are big ticket items you're talking about here. They are pricey to buy, and a real pain to return once they are in your home. Look into all of your options before making this big decision. It'll save you a lot of hassle.
Are you interested in buying a leather couch? Make sure you purchase furniture that is actually made out of leather. If the salesperson described it as a leather-like or a leather match piece, then the sofa or the chair is not made from actual leather and might not last very long.
Consider the other items you already own when you are deciding on what piece of new furniture to select. You need to make sure the new item blends well with the fabric, finish and materials of your existing pieces so that the whole room flows together. Planning ahead can help to avoid bringing home a new item that just does not work in the room.
Brand named furniture is not always the best way to go. Typically, furniture without a brand name is just as good as brand name furniture. The only difference is the price; brand names mean more money. No matter what kind of furniture you decide to purchase, quality should be your number one priority.
Ask about warranties when purchasing furniture. You should never purchase a brand new piece of furniture without a good warranty. Ask about the kind of damages covered by the warranty. It is best to purchase a warranty issued by a manufacturer rather than by the retailer since these warranties usually cover more things.
Whether you are buying used antiques or brand new, doing it right is key. You don't want to get home and realize you've made some sort of colossal error. These tips should keep you in line as you shop for all the furnishings you need, ensuring your home is perfect.

The European parliament is examining the European Commission's Public Procurement Directive, which contains a provision permitting countries to use online auctions. If approved, public bodies could be free to employ them as early as next year.
Euro-MPs will face strong pressure to reject the proposal, which many in the construction industry regard as a regression to lowest cost competitive tendering.
The European trade body for M&E contractors is preparing a report that will conclude that construction should be excluded from e-procurement.
Rod Pettigrew, legal adviser to the Constructors Liaison Group, said: "European bodies are not only acknowledging Dutch auctions, but it is increasingly worrying that they are, in effect, licensing the process."
John Bromley, European director of the Construction Confederation, said such auctions ran counter to the Egan initiative but noted that even if the directive was accepted, the Council of Ministers would still have to sanction it.
The e-procurement directive from the commission states: "Where it is possible for the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the object or service to be procured to be described so precisely that the only item still to be agreed is the price, the contracting authority may award the contract electronically by means of an auction."
European bodies are, in effect, licensing the process
Constructors Liaison Group
The proposal notes that auctions must last for at least seven days.
The decision to consider online bidding comes as it emerged that water companies United Utilities and Wessex Water are using the method to procure sewerage and infrastructure work.
United Utilities confirmed to Building that it has held five auctions for projects with a combined value of £20m.
British Water, the trade association for water contractors, has raised its concerns about e-procurement with all the water companies.
UK director Paul Mullord said it marked a step away from partnering agreements. He said: "We are taking contractors to meet water companies to make them aware of concerns about online bidding."

Diablo III is the 3rd iteration in Blizzard Entertainment's popular action RPG series - Diablo. It was announced on 28th June 2008 at the Blizzard Entertainment Worldwide Invitationalin Paris, France and is currently in development.[1] Speculation is rife that the game will be released in 2011 though Blizzard has yet to officially comment on the release plans.
Diablo III takes place in the fantasy world of Sanctuary. Two decades have passed since the events of the previous installment culminating in the defeat of the three prime evils and destruction of the Worldstone by the Archangel Tyrael.
Character ClassesEdit
Of a total of five character classes, the four announced so far by Blizzard are:
While the basic gameplay remains similar, a number of improvements have been made to allow efficient combat manoeuvering. Class specific quests have been introduced, and skill trees have been revamped with a larger number of skills available.
Skill runes, another first for Diablo III, change the functioning of active skills (spells, attacks etc.), thereby altering the entire aspect of their strategic applications. For example - applying the "explosion" rune to the Barbarian's leap skill will cause a small explosion where the player lands after a leap, dealing damage to nearby foes. Known skill runes named so far include - Explosion, Multistrike & Lethality.
Two new pieces of armor (Shoulder Plates & Leggings) have been introduced.
The inventory system sees some improvements. Potions and scrolls are now stackable. Weapons occupy lesser space in the stash, with large weapons taking up two slots, and smaller weapons requiring only one.
Expansion PacksEdit
Blizzard has confirmed that they will develop and release a number of expansion packs for Diablo III.

Title: If I Could Be Like Jennifer Taylor

place in Mill Valley High School.
What are the names of your leading characters?
The main character is Carolyn Samuels. Then there is Jennifer Taylor.
Brad Morrow is another character in the book.
What 3 things do you want to share about each of the characters named?
Carolyn Samuels is a girl who feels bad about her body and has been bullied for
a physical problem she has by Jennifer Taylor all through middle school. She has
a crush on Brad Morrow.
Jennifer Taylor is as close to perfect as you can get and she is also on the Olympic track for gymnastics as well as the most popular girl of the freshman class. However, she has a problem that might derail her chances for Olympic stardom.
Brad Morrow is the hot, quarterback who though a Junior has been Jennifer's boyfriend for three years. He is very devoted to Jennifer Taylor.

I would like to thank Lisa for this mini blog. I would also like to add that though I wrote this for young adults, I have found that a great many older people both women and men have enjoyed it because it brings them back to those teen angst days of high school. I also touch on a subject that has become very important, the act of bullying. When I wrote the book I did not think this would be such an important part of it, but now I think it is a good example of how to deal with a bully. Some of my reviews say this is a must read for young girls.
If anyone is interested after reading it, I have a Reader's/Teacher's guide posted on my blog:
Thank you, Barbara for sharing this timely story with us.

Both Gigi and Bella have previously been featured on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills because their mother Yolanda Hadid was a cast member. Yolanda Hadid, along with Bella, suffers publicly from Lyme Disease, and Yolanda has showcased her treatments online in order to raise awareness. At the VS Fashion Show, both Yolanda and the girls' father Mohamed Hadid were present for the show as well as the after party. Recently, Bella has been in the media for splitting from her longtime boyfriend The Weeknd, who was actually a performer at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show this time around. And, both Bella and The Weeknd appeared to make a friendly connection on the catwalk, so perhaps they're looking to revive their relationship. Or, maybe they've already rekindled something? For more information on the show, Bella and Gigi, click through our gallery of their best photos from the event.
The sisters pose with their good friend Kendall Jenner. This was Jenner's second time walking in the show. Currently, Jenner is rumoured to be dating A$AP Rocky and was recently seen partying with him in Miami for Art Basel. Her sister Kylie Jenner was also down there enjoying the festivities.
Gigi couldn't help but compliment fellow VS model Adriana Lima online, writing: Words can't describe this woman's powerful heart and spirit. She continues to lead the group with empowering confidence, grace, and infectious enthusiasm. I'm so honoured and grateful to know and work with you, Adriana Lima!! Thank you for your love and support.

There will always be those who insist that if they can't live in Manhattan, they would rather not live in New York City at all. They feel that Manhattan is the one true New York and that the outer boroughs are remote hinterlands barely fit for human habitation.
These people have never visited Park Slope.
Nudging up under the south side of Prospect Park, an average of four subway stops into Brooklyn, Park Slope has become one of the few "new" fashionable neighborhoods to escape being labeled with a clever acronym. (At least for now, no one's rushing to start calling it "ParSlo" or "PaSlop.") Here, students live in brownstone row houses alongside young families just starting out, wealthy professionals escaping the crush and noise of Manhattan, and elderly residents who've been in "The Slope" all their lives. On any given Saturday morning, 7th Avenue buzzes with activity: Baseball-capped moms push state-of-the-art strollers, couples sip chai in one of a half-dozen cozy coffee shops, and dogs give each other the eye as their owners pause to chat. Park Slope is enjoying a renaissance of sorts. It's convenient, desirable, attractive, and (compared to Manhattan) affordable.
But this has not always been–and may not always be – the case.

Parents can improve their children's health and fitness greatly by remembering just five basic steps, according to Babs Benson, manager of the Healthy You weight management program at The Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters. Even making one or two of the changes from Healthy You's "Countdown to Family Fitness: 5-4-3-2-1" program will help, Benson said:
* Five: Serve at least five servings of fruits and vegetables every day. It's easier than it sounds: half a cup of veggies or half a medium-sized banana, for example, counts as a serving. Keep sliced fruits and vegetables within easy reach of children, especially at times they're looking for a snack.
* Four: Give kids four servings of water a day. Avoid soda and sugary juices - they're very high in calories and sugar - give them their own water bottles to fill up and keep a pitcher of water on the kitchen table.
* Three: Aim for three daily servings of low-fat dairy products, which are rich in the calcium a child's growing body needs. Examples of one serving are an 8 oz. glass of milk or yogurt and 11/2 ounces of cheese.
* Two: Limit a child's total daily "screen time" to two hours or less (the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no screen time at all for kids younger than 2). That includes watching television, being on a computer and playing video games.
* One: Encourage children to get at least an hour of physical activity every day. Plan active family outings, sign up for team or individual sports and, if your neighborhood is safe, get kids to go outside and exercise by playing or riding a bike.

Surge Protection Device 277V
Added: Nov 2011*
Philips' Surge Protection Device 277V provides lightning protection and maximises the lifetime value of outdoor luminaires.
The new Fortimo LED Line range offers high energy efficiency, low cost and high quality lighting for applications in offices, industry and retail environments to rival fluorescent lighting.
The new Surge Protection Device 277V (SPD) from Philips is specifically designed for use in outdoor luminaires and delivers maximum protection for all outdoor lighting applications from excessive surge voltages due to lightning. Uniquely suitable for both Class I and Class II luminaires, the Surge Protection Device delivers peace of mind about the reliability of the luminaire for both manufacturers and end users, maximizing the lifetime of luminaires and reducing maintenance costs.
Rapidly increasing acceptance of LED-based light sources for outdoor applications brings with it new challenges on system durability. In order to ensure the lifetime of the solution, it is vital to protect the light engine against surges on the mains line. Applications such as road lighting and parking lots are especially susceptible. The Surge Protection Device offers protection without requiring a protective earth connection.
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) recommend surge protection levels of 6 kV/3 kA for low exposure conditions and 10 kV/10 kA for high exposure conditions. Philips' Surge Protection Device offers the right level of protection, increasing reliability and lowering maintenance costs. The device is easy to install in new and existing installations, making it the perfect protection solution.
The Philips Surge Protection Device is the ideal solution to safeguarding Outdoor LED lighting solutions against high surges. Essential for LED systems installed in high-risk areas, the advantages of using the Surge Protection Device are not limited only to LED systems. The product can be used in any new or existing lighting solution, regardless of technology.

Viral "#SELFIE" Music Video Lampoons the Trend
It was the Oxford English Dictionary's 2013 word of the year, it's what Ellen used to break Twitter while hosting the Oscars, and now, it's the subject of a viral music video by breakout EDM duo The Chainsmokers: "#SELFIE," released by electronica maestro Steve Aoki, is a fairly standard bleepy four-on-the-floor track, but it sets itself apart by accompanying a young woman's lengthy, vapid monologue about how best to capture herself in the club bathroom mirror. Think the "Oh my God, Becky" opening from "Baby Got Back" crossed with Paris Hilton's "Drunk Text," (AKA, my favorite song of 2012), mixed in with a little "Shit Girls Say." "I only got 10 likes in the last five minutes — should I take it down?" she agonizes, before insisting her friend help choose a filter. It's those kinds of "I wish I didn't relate" moments, mixed in with a little club-savvy humor ("It's not even summer — why does the DJ keep playing 'Summertime Sadness'?"), that have the song debuting at No. 55 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and its YouTube views at over 2 million.
Speaking of which, the video is a project unto itself: Prior to the song's official release, the band solicited selfie submissions from fans, with clips of the song specially timed for Vine and Instagram and a "How to take a #SELFIE" YouTube video. Their advice? "It's important to be as into yourself as possible at this point in time." Apparently, that was enough to elicit over 2,000 responses in the first week alone — all of which flash past at some point during the video. Oh, and David Hasselhof is in there for some reason, holding a red floatie behind his head, because once, long ago, someone was willing to pay him to.
Is it art? Maybe not. But it's certainly entertaining — the kind of social satire that treads dangerously close to what it's satirizing but still manages to come out on top. (Their "Go Fuck Your #Selfie" t-shirts are just icing on the cake.) The more important question: "What should my caption be?" The answer seems pretty clear.

We Skyped with YoungB for about 30 of them last night, catching up with the news of his first week at Recanati. It seems there's a smallish class of mixed nationalities – Chinese (but Cantonese speakers, so bang goes the idea that YoungB could maybe brush up on his Mandarin), Belgian and Mexican – and that they do thorough work. It's clear from what he said that they are going over stuff he's already learnt but that's all to the good because reinforcement aids retention. He said the cultural activities have been very enjoyable and often don't finish till quite late – the one scheduled for later in his day would have seen him back in his lodgings around 11 pm – so it's no wonder he's looking tired.
Dr B has spent many anxious minutes with Nonna. She was fitted with new hearing aids one day last week and the following day had already lost one of them! I'm pleased to say it has been found but you'll understand that he was somewhat stressed – actually, make that very stressed – about all of that. On a more positive note, he's had quite a lot of minutes being pummelled by a physio and is feeling the benefits: looser muscles leading to ease of movement and a reduction in the pain and discomfort that have lingered from his minor motorbike accident some weeks ago.
I have felt overwhelmed by different sorts of minutes this same week – leading me to think that the smartest investment I could make in my own sanity would be to attend this workshop – because it's one of those times of year where four official meetings come pell mell on top of one another. Taking minutes is easy. Redacting them? Not so much! It's also the time of year where the AGM and annual report loom large as projects that have to be dealt with, and I'm the one who has to drive them, in among more minutes (and too few, perhaps, of the first sort of minutes in which to deal with all of those). So we've all been busy and now it's the weekend, for which we are heaving heartfelt sighs of relief.
I hope your minutes have all been wonderfully productive but that you're able to relax for quite a lot of them over the weekend. 🙂

Embarrassment Of The Year
Okay, it's only the 19th of December, but we don't think there's any chance of this one being beaten by the time it's 2019.
As expected, Labour bottled the chance to call a vote of no confidence in the UK government today, refusing to support a motion tabled by four other opposition parties last night and thereby guaranteeing the Tories at least another two months in power.
Their official stated reason is that the only way to avoid a disastrous hard Brexit is to call a vote of no confidence in the Tories next month when it'll (somehow, magically) be more likely to succeed, trigger a general election, get (somehow, magically) a Labour majority and then go to the EU and negotiate (somehow, magically) a better deal from them than the Tories have done.
Which makes this a bit of a beamer:
So if it's "very clear" that there can be "no more negotiations" (and therefore no better deal), and Labour is going to vote against Theresa May's deal (which Labour says it is), and if Brexit is going to happen (which Labour says it is), then the only possible conclusion left is that Labour's official policy is now to crash out of the EU with no deal, and absolutely everything the party is saying in public about Brexit is a lie.
So at least everyone now finally knows where they stand. Even if, as is so often the case nowadays, it's only because Labour told the truth by accident.

Corporate Strategy And The Atmosphere
In business, politics is the art of getting things accomplished and reaping the benefits; it supplies the ability to get things completed in opposition to opposition, avoiding damaging implications and often producing positive results within the profession for the doer. Low uncertainty: On this scenario, adjustments in the setting affecting the uncertainty elements are low (that is, low environmental dynamism). The reply is that the process of creating organizational strategy have to be iterative. Targets are the definite intervening or eventual time-based estimations to be gained by implementing enterprise strategies in pursuit of the organization's aims.
These handle explicit areas of the agency equivalent to a division or strategic enterprise unit. In the West, we additionally take for granted landmark legislation largely enacted in the Sixties and 1970s that protects air and water quality and regulates a number of elements of the way business interacts with the pure setting. Robert S. Kaplan (Harvard Business School) and David Norton (Kaplan, R. and Norton, D. 1992).
The important thing level to think about is whether the technique would handle the important thing strategic issues underlined by the organisation's strategic place. The opposite airways were trying to use superior financial energy to squeeze them dry so they'd go bankrupt before Southwest Airlines even acquired into enterprise. Organization operates in a turbulent setting and they depend upon the surroundings for resources enter and produce goods or service for the consumption by the environment.
It is folly to enchantment to managers' self-interest with rewards for behaviour other than the sort the strategic marketing strategy requires and it is naïve to anticipate them to override the highly effective incentives that reward techniques evoke. A classical style, familiar to most managers and business school graduates, is nicely suited to an industry whose atmosphere is predictable but exhausting to your firm to alter.

Brunch Drunk
The 9th Street Bistro has a Batman/Bruce Wayne duality. Its bulky dinner menu has everything from Szechuan shrimp to something called the pita burger. But the old Parisian atmosphere, with framed posters of Renaissance art, is built around its other, classier, Sunday personality.
The champagne brunch has only five dishes, all of which are egg-based, including the Grand Marnier French toast. The eggs la nouveau ($12) stands out like the Eiffel Tower. It's a Bennie cradled in phyllo pastry, baked with a nest of chopped Canadian back bacon, tomatoes, onions and eggs almost as creamy as the hollandaise sauce.
The bistro also has a novel kiwi and cream cheese omelette ($11). Citrusy and milky, it's strictly for adventurists. Traditionalists may want a more orthodox omelette, either cheese and mushroom or bacon, with a choice of bread. There's also a feature quiche ($11) and, for steadfast squares, the Mainstream Breakfast ($10), otherwise known as bacon and eggs. If that's you, at least choose the sublime date bread as your side loaf. Opt to start your brunch with a glass of juice and/or champagne and a fruit skewer drizzled with white chocolate. (9910 109 St., 780-424-7219)
Brunch hours: Sun. from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.; available on Saturdays soon
Family First
Barb and Ernie's makes a theme restaurant of the Feuchter family. Every family milestone since 1975 is listed in the menu, including sinking a houseboat in the Shuswaps. The only thing more dominant than the family's presence was the phrase on the old marquee, presented for months like a fact rather than a claim: "Best eggs Benedict."
True or not, the question is: which of the 16 eggs Benedict are their best? Starting at $10.95 for an original, prices increase with each topping, including turkey bacon, bratwurst or crab. It peaks at $18.95 for steak that, disappointingly, is just grilled and served as a side. Regardless, the white-wine hollandaise sauce outshines whatever it dresses.
Along with the countless ways to cook an egg, there are at least 30 more ways to consume them here, including Hungarian style ($14.95), swapping hollandaise for meaty goulash. Barb and Ernie also have their eponymous omelettes too, giving you another factoid about the couple: Barb's tastes are conservative (bacon, cheese, tomatoes and other home kitchen ingredients, $13.95), while Ernie's are more flamboyant. He stuffs his eggs with seafood and smothers them in a bold white wine sauce ($16.95). (9906 72 Ave., 780-433-3242)
Breakfast hours: Tues. to Fri. 7 a.m. – 4 p.m.; Sat. 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.; Sun. 8 a.m. – 3 p.m.
Egg On Your Face
Diners are supposed to be about excess, about brunches so filling you won't need dinner. They are places where calorie counters are verboten.
If you really want an epic morning boost, go for the star of the Urban Diner's menu – the breakfast burger ($13.75). It's a fluffy onion kaiser stuffed with a fried egg, Black Forest ham, bacon, meatloaf, melted cheddar and a cilantro lime aioli. Really, it's everything but the kitchen sink faucet.
The meatloaf is thick, with several folds of ham to jack up the sandwich. It's a sinful meal that becomes just-right comfort food on a Sunday morning.
Of course, no one will blame you if you opt for eggs Benedict. You can choose from the traditional, veggie or smoked salmon options (all $12).
The sauce is the talking point of the salmon Bennie. Instead of hollandaise, the poached egg and fish are draped in a cheddar-based sauce blended with a basil pesto and bits of roasted pepper and spinach. It's more savoury than hollandaise, and it nicely counterbalances the sweetness of salmon. (12427 102 Ave., 780-488-7274, and 8715 109 St., 780-437-7275)
Brunch hours: Sat. 9 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.; Sun. 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.

"Why is Mr. Freeze so healthy? Because he never catches a cold!"
Corny cryo jokes are part of Jerry Zimmerman's (a.k.a. Mr. Freeze) trademark humor. They are sprinkled throughout his popular cryogenic demonstration (a branch of physics that deals with the production and effects of very low temperatures) along with lots of ice and fog, pops and explosions. Zimmerman's signature "cryo-mallows"—marshmallows dipped in liquid nitrogen, frozen to a crunch—delight kids and adults alike.
As a kid, Zimmerman dreamed of becoming an inventor someday.
"I was always the great inventor, a Thomas Edison or Nikola Tesla, and my invention would revolutionize the world," says Zimmerman.
What Zimmerman didn't know then was that one day he would become not only an inventor, but a Fermilab engineer with a public persona known to hundreds of schoolchildren as Mr. Freeze.
Zimmerman grew up in Plano, the youngest of four children. His parents, Leroy and Rosemarie, didn't know what their inquisitive son would turn out to be. They only knew he constantly had his nose in the family's Time Life books and all that the wind-up clocks in the house were taken apart and put back together again—sometimes with a piece or two left over. He ended up with a degree in physics from Northern Illinois University and an unusual job title.
Mr. Freeze knows the show has a magical quality, and he definitely wants the audience to have fun, but he also hopes kids will learn new things and think of science as a future career path.
He also enjoys challenging his own inventive spirit.
"I'm always trying to come up with the next new thing," he says.
The next new thing may be a cryo-gun Zimmerman has been working on, though it won't be used to freeze people a la Mr. Freeze, the comic book villain of Batman fame. Zimmerman's gun would instead produce a dramatic pop followed by a column of thick fog.
When Zimmerman isn't working as an engineer or giving a cryo demonstration, he can often be found roller skating at a rink near Batavia. He enjoys it almost as much as science and uses scientific principles to teach himself how to figure out fancy skate moves.
"It's a case of understanding science and applying it to my pastime," he says.
Whether he's firing off his cryo-cannon or coasting around the roller rink, Zimmerman hopes to inspire kids to find and follow their passion in life. Of course if it turns out to be science, Mr. Freeze is cool with that.

In fact, these backlinks are seen by many as THE most important aspect of a comprehensive SEO plan.
