Bring Life To Your Pricey Rugs And Carpets Now!
Whether you're a homemaker, a mall cleaner, or an aspiring carpet cleaner, you should stick around to take a look at some useful carpet and rug care tips and information!
Your Persian carpets or vintage Moroccan rugs are as precious as your other valuable items. So they should be treated nicely whenever they need you. Here we mean to say, they should be cleaned periodically so that they may stay with you, as long as you want. Before cleaning your carpet, you need to scrutinize it thoroughly; perhaps it needs a special cleaning agent or a carbonated cleaning. There are many different and effective options that are available in the market but we recommend you to rely only on the trusted ones.
We believe in natural, non-toxic organic methods that have been suggested by experts or renowned rug and carpet makers. First of all you should keep a close watch on your carpets to understand what is required to bring their shine back. If foot traffic is more than its capacity and your expectation then turn it around for balanced and even usage. It's essential to keep your carpets away from harsh sun heat as direct sun exposure can harm their soft fibers. These carpet and rug care tips and information can be shared with your family and friends if you find them friendly.
Change your mood, if you have been planning to clean your carpet when it gets dirty because a regular cleaning session is required for rugs and carpets to keep their beauty intact. Never start a cleaning session, if you have already lined up many urgent tasks for the day. You should give proper cleaning time to each carpet and rug. Cleaning is required once a month as this keeps you and your carpet away from harmful bacteria, allergens, stains and foul odor. If you have found above mentioned carpet and rug care tips and information helpful, then it's time to act!
To spruce up your old rugs and carpets, you can use mild cleansing solutions but avoid over-wetting them as this will only attract dirt. Use different cleaning solutions for separate carpets and rugs. To cleanse chewing gum stain, you can use ice, warm water and shatter gum. Similarly, you can use the same for stubborn stains of wax, blood, butter and shoe polish. Bonnet method and carbonated cleaning can be used under expert's guidance.
Millions have been satisfied by the above discussed carpet and rug care tips and information, now it's your turn!

I really enjoyed the programme, it has changed my view on what employers want and expect from young people, I've seen behind the scenes of some big businesses and heard about job roles I didn't know existed."
Esh Group hosted one of the largest 'Mock Interview' days in the UK at Newcastle Eagles Community Arena on Wednesday 5th June. The event saw over 1,000 students from all 12 local authorities of the North East and Teesside participate in a mock interview with 180 business guests volunteering their time to put students through their paces.
The annual event is the culmination of the ninth instalment of the Building My Skills initiative, a year-long employability skills, information and guidance programme which provides students with a rounded introduction to the world of work through 5 timetabled sessions, each delivered by a different business guest.
The free programme boasts a range of regional, national and international brands including Accenture, Bernicia, PwC, Northumbrian Water Group, Lloyds Bank, Hilton Hotel, Mediaworks, Visualsoft and the NHS.
Mayor of the North of Tyne Combined Authority, Jamie Driscoll, who was in attendance, praised the event. He said: "This practise is great because when kids are going through school, often their school work doesn't seem to have that direct connection with what they're going to be doing in their lives and an experience like this is one of the best ways we can prepare kids for the future."
Andy Radcliffe, Esh Group's Chief Executive, added: "The event was extremely successful. It was a great way for young people to have a realistic experience of what they can expect in future interview situations and make connections with employers for future placements and apprenticeships."
"We encourage participation, collaboration and innovation both socially and commercially – Building My Skills, the Group's longest running programme embodies all three and its legacy is something Esh and all our business partners can be very proud of."
Paul Carbert, Policy Adviser at the North East England Chamber of Commerce, praised the event. He said: "We were delighted to support the Mock Interview Day and take part in the interview panels, and it was fantastic to see so many other Chamber members getting involved as well.
"The young people who have completed the Building My Skills programme have improved their employability skills and knowledge of the world of work, and this is thanks to the commitment and support of Esh Group and their business partners."
Esh Group and the three founding business partners Ryder, Arup and Turner & Townsend are now planning the 10th instalment of the multi award-winning programme which will launch in September 2019, engaging an estimated 14,000 students from 70 schools – their largest cohort to date.
For more information on the programme, and to get involved please contact a member of Esh Group's Social Value team via our contact centre – www.eshgroup.co.uk/contact-us

Here it is, almost November, and we (no—just Lori) received her absentee ballot for the upcoming election. Too bad the upcoming election was ELEVEN MONTHS AGO. No worries—we were able to submit our ballot by email instead!
It's the first weekend of the dry season (yay!) so we decided it's high time to reattempt a walk we've been wanting to do for months.
There's a dirt track that hugs the Mekong uninterrupted for ten miles, from Bo Ice Factory in the northwest to the "Clocktower" neighborhood in the south. In Europe or North America (or Thailand, for that matter) this would be a paved shared use bike-jog trail, used and loved by many. But in our fair city of half a million, it is largely a decades-long work in progress that few use for recreational purposes. Yes, there's a mile stretch in the city that is paved and used for walking/jogging/strolling, but this is a new development and certainly an exception.
Our favorite walk in town is the southern portion of this track, which I've talked about numerous times here. It's a lovely stretch of gravel road, largely covered by established trees and large houses lining the Mekong. The north/west portion, however, is a different story.
We first attempted the western portion at the beginning of the rainy season in May, before the 2.5 mile stretch had completely devolved into one big mud bath. It was hot—bloody hot—and crazy humid following a major rain storm. We agreed we had started out too early in the day and that we should return some time closer to sunset. Then the rainy season fully embedded itself and that dream was put on hold…until now.
My brother-in-law passed this carrier on to us and we've been waiting eagerly for the right opportunity to break it out. It's been sitting in our storage closet for over a year, almost mocking us—a regular reminder of the dearth of hiking opportunities in the capital region. It also seemed laughable when we moved here that one day Noe would be big enough to use the thing. He's just on the limit right now, but we're looking forward to trying something besides the ErgoBaby. We'll see how this goes…
We don't want to jinx anything, but here it is, October 21st, and it appears we may just be out of monsoon season. Six months. Good riddance! Until next May…
Sunset's getting early around here, and by early, I mean 5:45 pm—a mere hour earlier than the summer solstice (6:45 pm). Growing up in the PacNW this is still hard for Lori and I to wrap our minds around, given that the difference between summer and winter solstice sunsets is about four hours, factoring for daylight savings time.
We made sure not to make the same mistake twice and set out about an hour before sunset. The weather gods smiled upon us and we got just about as perfect an evening for a long walk as it gets around here, with a nice breeze to boot.
We noticed a few additions to the river bank that weren't there in May—one looked particularly interesting and we resolved to return on the way back for a cool beverage on the water.
The ten mile dirt track along the Mekong is a result of the construction of a river wall about a decade ago, which in reality is a several-meters-high dike. Walking west from the city center, you've got a steady drop to the water on the left, and a steady slope down to houses and neighborhoods on the right that long predate the dike. It's hard to imagine a time when the river would swell into these neighborhoods in the rainy season, and a gentle grassy slope would re-emerge when the river retreated—but it really wasn't that long ago. As a result, many of the older houses we see along the way are stilted, with wooden bridges connecting the second story to the river path.
We didn't make it all the way to the Bo Ice Factory, but much farther than last time. The round trip distance from Highland Bar / Mekong Zone (where we parked) to the ice factory is about five miles, leaving us with the difficult decision to push on or save time for a beer on the Mekong—needless to say the decision was an easy one.
At any rate, we did make it to the meteorological station, having essentially walked from downtown to the airport and back.
On the way back, Lori took the kiddo. Her assessment of the carrier wasn't as positive as mine. The Mister is becoming increasingly uncomfortable to take in the Ergo on long walks/hikes, but Lori seemed to still prefer it to this. She's been liking having him on her back lately, but it's awkward for him. This carrier is still a bit awkward, but the difference being that he's going to grow into this, whereas the Ergo, unfortunately, is just going to get more awkward for Noe. Regardless, I didn't mind using this one, so we might just have to make this the daddy carrier for now.
Hardly ever a bad sunset over the Mekong, even if the sun isn't actually out.
On our way back, we stopped at the floating barge—now alight in all its Mekong glory.
It's a pretty sweet setup they've got here. Not only can they move their restaurant up and down the length of Laos, it appears they can also detach the kitchen and use it with multiple dining barges in multiple configurations.
Kitchen in need of an upgrade? No problem, just float a new one in. Live along the river and need a caterer for your wedding? No problem, just float the kitchen down to the party. Kitchen fire? Again, no worries. Just detach the thing and send it out to the the middle of the river and let the Mekong take care of things.
I'm not sure what was so exciting, but it was enough to get both of their attention at the same time, which never happens.
Back in town, we stopped off at Highland Bar for fish n' chips, some of the best in town. Any guesses on what Noe's so transfixed by?

And after weeks of hard work it was time to celebrate success and to showcase the children's talents - from Baby Class through to Secondary School - with performances by each class for parents, guardians and guests at a Closing Day ceremony.
Scouts raised the flag and led the National Athem to start the proceedings which followed witha series of songs, poems and dance.
They illustrated how much the children have learnt, emphasised the importance of education, the responsibility of teachers in inspiring children and the need for parents and guardians to be actively involved in encouraging their children in all aspects of life.
In her address Mama Sue thanked the children and teachers for a lovely morning and thanks parents and guardians for their involvement and asked them to continue encouraging and supporting their children to strive to do their best and perform well.
She said it was a responsibility she and Papa shared as they had almost 60 Happy House kids in school.
Plus there were 60 children on free place scholarships in the school with everything they needed to learn provided for them,. This came at a very high cost and she urged parents and guardians to help by buying shoes if they could.
She warned that places were conditional on performance and that if a student failed to do their best the place would be reviewed.
Mama also told of how she and Papa had been to England on a fundraising mission working with UK coordinator Elizabeth and that they were desperate to raise more sponsors for the scholarship children.
Children and classes who had performed well this term or made the most improvements were awarded with certificates and trophies.
The morning ended with prayers, before children and relatives collected their reports from teachers.
It was a happy morning and the children have the rest of this week at home before returning for Holiday Club for two weeks from Monday. The new term starts on May 3.

We have become a nation addicted to images. From childhood (�Sesame Street�) to adulthood (broadcast news), confusing information is made understandable in 30 second sound bites. The image, carefully massaged, carries the truth. Political parties have come to love images.
Imagine a cowboy, with a six shooter strapped at his side. He is a straight talker, ruggedly independent, knowing right from wrong and having the power to enforce it.
Now, imagine a shepherd with a staff at his side. Such a shepherd must have cunning, patience and understanding to keep the sheep from the circling wolves. Now flash forward to Iowa.
In Iowa, which cowboy is going to win the gunfight � Sen. Cruz or Mr. Trump? Which shepherd is going to gain the largest flock � Secretary of State Clinton or Sen. Sanders?
Caucus voters tend to like the ideologue. Presidential voters tend to favor the pragmatist.
Both ideologue and pragmatist serve their purpose. The ideologue has both feet in the future, keeping romantic dreams alive for tomorrow. The pragmatist has feet planted in the present, knowing dreams of the future are only realized when cowboys and shepherds can reason together.
Ideologues create images. Pragmatists create government.

Brunswick Corp does not provide customer support through a Facebook Business Page or on Messenger, but you can tell us what your issue is below and we can help get you on the right track.
Brunswick Corp Customer Service via Facebook: The Breakdown
Brunswick Corp does not have a Facebook Business Page that is manned by their customer service department, but there are plenty of ways to get help. If you are trying to get an issue fixed or ask them a question, our advice is this: Call Brunswick Corp instead. One reason that so few customers prefer to speak with businesses over Facebook is that the conversation is more private than, say, a conversation with Brunswick Corp over Twitter. And generally, if a Facebook option is available and their customer service department actually operates it, they likely have a big enough customer support operation to also communiate over the phone, by email, or sometimes even by chat. And of course we at GetHuman build tools to make communicating any of these ways even easier and less time-consuming, so there's that too. So far we have not built any tools to accelerate or improve communication through Facebook, but we may soon. Particularly for companies that are on Facebook Messenger.
Contacting Brunswick Corp in General
There are 2 ways to speak with Brunswick Corp customer support. This is just one of them. And not likely to be the best one. In almost every case, you would want to call Brunswick Corp if possible, or use the GetHuman Phone to call them so you don't have to wait on hold. The best way to talk to customer care, according to other Brunswick Corp customers, is the 847-735-4700 option we show above. If you know of other ways to reach Brunswick Corp that we haven't talked about here already, please let our research team know. Or if you think that Brunswick Corp has a better Facebook page or Messenger handle, we want to know that too! And we of course would want to share that with other customers in our ongoing fight to make customer service easier and more transparent to all.

Today's award goes to some red-faced Green protesters in England. A tip o' the hat to reader Snoggeramus for the link.
Bungling climate change activists chanted slogans and banged drums outside a London office block today, only to discover the energy company they thought was based there has long moved on.
Protesters from a group called 'Reclaim the Power' picketed what they thought was the office of gas plant firm Drax in London's Moorgate this morning, closing the usually busy road for hours and causing fury among local workers.
But their chants aimed at upsetting Drax's bosses were in vain after it emerged the power company moved out of the building more than a year ago.
Ironically, the block is now home to Norwegian firm Statkraft, Europe's largest renewables generator, whose staff were unable to get into their offices as a result of the protest.
There's more at the link.
The protesters went the whole hog, too, locking themselves to doors, chanting, banging drums, the whole schmear. They're the usual far-left-wing moonbats, chanting for "Revolution!" and "We've got to get rid of the rich!" You can see them in this video clip, if you're interested.
The irony of protesting a non-climate-friendly company by harassing (albeit mistakenly) a very-climate-friendly company was probably entirely lost on them . . . but not on us - hence this Doofus award.

Ever wonder what it would be like to own 2,000 units of property? Like lots of properties and even a few apartment buildings? Well, you're going to want to listen to this episode of the Cash Flow Diary podcast all the way to the end. Today's guest, fellow podcast host, philanthropist and big-time real estate investor Rod Khleif has owned and managed that many units and helps a whole lotta people in the process.
So when did Rod's love of real estate investing kick in? In his teen years when he saw his mother save up money by babysitting other people's children to purchase a family home. Rod thought it would be neat to get into real estate, so he became an agent very early in life. He even had his face plastered across some outdoor advertising. But he didn't end up earning much money as an agent.
Rod then started looking at real estate with new eyes… the eyes of an investor. At the age of 21 he bought his first house. He was on his way to the success he craved as an investor.
While Rod had a lot of successes, he also had a number of failure events. He calls them his "seminars" because he learned a lot from each failure event. He says these events are absolutely necessary, and we can't fear them. We just have to be willing to put the time in to learn and grow and do… one step at a time.
One of the things Rod says he learned is that real estate goes in cycles. By that he means markets go up and markets go down. Real estate investing works in any market, but you need the right strategies. His is buying and holding… and renting properties to tenants. That's his sweet spot. He's not a flipper; rather he wants to hold onto the properties over the long haul.
Rod also says that it can be easier to buy a small commercial property, for example, apartment buildings than to buy one single-family house. It can be easier to rent apartments out, too. There are other benefits to owning apartment buildings vs. several single-family houses, like the fact that all the units are under the same roof vs. having properties scattered around the area. After all, which is easier to manage and maintain?
If you want to learn about the importance of failure, why success is not a destination but rather a journey, why you're "stuck" while you really want to move forward, and how to step up your game, listen to this episode. (You'll also learn a few ways to push yourself forward, no matter what, and the importance of writing your goals down and visualizing what you really want out of life.) Learn more.

text: Which Furnace Service Plan Should I Get? Posted October 20, 2017 It can be consuming when you start looking at the information about furnace service plans. Should you get one? Is the cost worth it? What should it cover? Gee & Missler Heating & Air Conditioning can help answer your questions and erase some confusion. But I Have a Warranty One of the most confusing things about furnace repair plans is that homeowners often believe they don't need the repair plan because their furnace is under warranty. However, the warranty and a maintenance service agreement are two very different things—and in a lot of cases, you will need to have routine furnace service completed to keep your warranty in place. These visits help ensure your furnace is working as it should and help find potential problems before they become bigger, and expensive, problems. A warranty usually only covers major components of a furnace, and does not cover labor costs, which can add up quickly. It's important to read all the details of your warranty so you comprehend what's covered and what isn't. Other Benefits of Routine Maintenance In addition to making sure your equipment is working properly, routine maintenance provides other benefits that will help you. Properly maintained systems are more likely to operate at peak efficiency, which can potentially save you money on utility bills. They also filter your home's air better, helping to keep your household healthier and your home cleaner. Yet another benefit is that it helps make sure your furnace will operate correctly through its busiest season—aka when temperatures are low. The last thing you want on a cold Wyandotte night is to have to schedule an emergency repair. Built-In Motivation to Schedule Routine Maintenance At Gee & Missler Heating & Air Conditioning, our Service Maintenance Plans are specifically for regular maintenance. One of the great things about buying a maintenance plan is that you aren't likely to skip out on scheduling beneficial annual maintenance. We've realized that once homeowners invest in a service plan, they are more likely to schedule their service much better than homeowners that didn't include a service agreement—and their furnace and indoor air quality benefit! Even better, our experts will typically contact you to schedule your appointment as a helpful reminder. If you would like more information about furnace service plans, or if you're ready to get one now, call Gee & Missler Heating & Air Conditioning at 734-363-8907 and we'll get you set. Back To Blog

I'm a new blogger… Do you have any tips for me? I do! Check out this post! And if you have any other questions, just email me!
What kind of camera do you use? I use a Canon EOS T2i… No shnazzy lenses YET.
What site do you use to edit your photos? Either picmonkey.com, OR plain 'ol iPhoto.
Are you home schooled? I don't know why I get this question ALL. THE. TIME. Do I seem home schooled or something? Well, if I do it's because I am. Contrary to popular belief, I actually do work and have a social life.
I read that you do your own blog designs… Would you be willing to do designs for other people? I'm sorry, I don't! I don't have tons of time to work on blog designs, but maybe some day I'll open a little business once my skills are improved :)
Do you accept guest posts from other bloggers? Nope, not currently. I prefer my blog to be a place for my food photography and my recipes. It just seems a little weird to me to have other people posting their own content.
Would you be willing to guest post on my blog? I really love posting for other bloggers, but at the moment, I hardly have time to make many recipes for my own blog let alone someone else's. It depends though, so please get in touch if you have any questions!
Can I post your recipes on my blog? Of course! I love when people share the love. I only ask that you give credit, and provide a link back to the original blog post. Please and thank you!
What about photos? Nope. I would really appreciate it if you didn't use my photos. Please ask permission!
I don't have gluten-free flour. Can I replace it with the same amount of all purpose? Yes, indeed!
Do you count calories? Counting calories goes against everything I stand for when it comes to food. I count nutrients not calories and believe the only thing that counts is what we choose to fill our body with. A zero-calorie pop is worse for you than a 300-calorie smoothie. This is why I don't include nutritional information with my recipes. However, if you're interested in calorie counting, you can plug it into a website like this one.

You seem really cool! Stumbled across your blog. It's funny what you said about being asked if you're home-schooled. I don't know, I guess home-schoolers take advantage of the blogging platform plus all kinds of creativity!!! I always say I was "church-schooled" I grew up surrounded by people who hailed from so many different places and I see myself as very well-rounded and VERY socialized. I have learned SO MUCH in 22 years! Here's a question: where are you from? UK? France? (you may have already answered this question somewhere on your blog, so I'm sorry)ReplyDelete

20%-40% of partisan FB "fake news" posts are false
Our analysis of three hyperpartisan right-wing Facebook pages found that 38% of all posts were either a mixture of true and false or mostly false, compared to 19% of posts from three hyperpartisan left-wing pages that were either a mixture of true and false or mostly false. The right-wing pages are among the forces — perhaps as potent as the cable news shows that have gotten far more attention — that helped fuel the rise of Donald Trump. These pages, with names such as Eagle Rising on the right and Occupy Democrats on the left, represent a new and powerful force in American politics and society. Many have quickly grown to be as large as — and often much larger than — mainstream political news pages.
Source: Hyperpartisan Facebook Pages Are Publishing False And Misleading Information At An Alarming Rate – BuzzFeed News
Occupy Democrats has nearly 4 1/2 million "subscribers" on Facebook alone. Eagle Rising has a mere 655,000 page likes.
Look at those numbers – literally millions of people voluntarily subscribe to fake propaganda messaging, and then voluntarily share those fake items on their own FB pages, such that individual posts are exposed to tens of millions of potential "targets".

Year: 2009 Space: 40m2
Space: 9m2
The owner of this Balmain Victorian shop-fronted terrace approached us to create a new office space for her accountancy firm. The design responds to both the heritage constraints of the building and the modern outgoing nature of the client and her brief for a funky, yet functional space. We achieved the eclectic feel with elements such as the curved lime reception desk and the contrasting original Japan black floorboards throughout. It was important to tie the geographical location into the interior; which was achieved by using natural sandstone for the main dividing wall, which also doubles as the signage display.

"The current Turkish government is practicing fascism and is responsible for the political and economic crisis that is ravaging the country," said human rights activist Mehmet Jamil Khalil.
He added that Turkey is evading its international and humanitarian obligations which require it to solve internal and external problems through political and diplomatic means, and export its internal crisis to Iraq, Syria, Libya, Egypt and even Syria, where it threatens to invade eastern Euphrates.
The Turkish state has been isolating Ocalan since April 5, 2015.
In the last meeting with his lawyer on August 7, Ocalan stressed his readiness to solve the problems and called to not ignore the historical ties between the Kurdish and Turkish peoples.
"The strategic changes taking place in the region impose on Turkey political reforms, "he added.
He stressed that the continued isolation of Ocalan is a violation of the UN Charter and that it should conduct a comprehensive national dialogue to amend the constitution in line with its obligations under the European Human Rights Charter and in implementation of the judicial decision of the European Court of Human Rights regarding the retrial of opponents and their inclusion in political life. To allow the political opposition to participate in government. "

I know my last blog was not in English, but as promised I am back with my episodes. So here we go again as always before I start let me make it absolutely clear all characters in this story are completely fictional and resemblance with anyone should be considered a mere coincidence.
So far we have seen the journey back home after a short University back. Devil after that chat came to know who Chi was, for the first time Devil who love to be the notorious and trouble maker for others felt as if he had met his match in terms of thinking. As I said in my last blog some journeys are endless and some chat are too confidential yet so unique. Devil enjoyed the chat and he understood who Chi was, Chi on the other hand was lost in thoughts of Cha, Cha was gone and for Chi long wait to see her again has started. Chi always enjoyed coming back to home and being with the family, but this time it was slightly different he wanted to be back in University. Its strange how someone can push you to a limit that you cant afford to miss presence of other person for a second. Next day morning Chi was home and was enjoying homely food, care of his mother and luxury of home. Off all the luxury of home there were few things that Chi use to enjoy most:
1 Head massage by his mother
2 Rice, lentil and mashed potato all mixed by mother's hand
3 an evening walk and chat on different topics.
Off these Cha too enjoyed head massage by her mother and evening walk with her mother. Cha was able to meet her school time friend, one she was very close to was Raj. Both have been in same school since childhood. Cha had soft corner for Rajkumar (Raj), she wanted to share her experience with Raj and hear his experience from University. Both were good in studies they competitors in studies, like the good old school days they use to exchange notes and just like Cha, Raj had feelings for Cha. It was a matter of time when either of them would blink and express their feelings. It was Raj who blinked first, as a writer I would say the boys are the impatient ones if they were to play a game of patience with the other gender, it would be one game in which they will loose majority of time and that too with a big margin. So the day after Cha arrived her home town, she was busy unwrapping her baggage and meeting relatives. She was relieved to be back and was looking forward to meet old school friends and specially Raj. While she was in that thought process, she gets a call from Raj, back than mobile were picking trends yet it was a landline call. At home everyone knew who Raj was and how intense was the competition they shared and how they were focused on there career. I am sure you would be wondering why these lines were added, not very often at young age a boy calling a girl gets such a welcome reception in India. Indian parenting is all about being protective to kids, and keep them focused to the ultimate goal of getting good jobs. Henceforth you wont see parents being to experimental with kids. They decided to meet at coffee shop next day, both of them equally excited to see each other and share their University experience. Raj was excited as he was about to express his feelings but was nervous about what if it doesn't go as per plan (a typical boys dilemma before proposal). Next day a bright sunny day lovely September morning, Raj paid special attention to how he was looking and the dressing, he did his hair more often than he has ever done in one month and looked in mirror just to make sure he can do the last bit of touch up to make him look perfect.
Raj, like a guy about to propose came much earlier to venue, in his nervousness wanted to make sure that when he proposes things are perfect, the waiter came in to take the order and here is the conversation:
Waiter: Good afternoon sir, what would you like to have?
Raj: I am waiting for someone but I need a big favour from you, when you bring the bill can you bring this rose and this card?
Waiter (with a smirk): Always happy to help sir, are you proposing a girl today (What a daft question, to a nervous guy)?
Raj: Buddy, please make sure only you serve this table and you don't need to let her know by any means, I want to see the surprise on her face and make sure you bring the bill when not many people are in shop (so that if something goes wrong, its not a big embarrassment for Raj)
A decision which he will regret later and you will come to know why.
Waiter: Don't worry sir, Good luck and hope all goes well.
30 mins later at scheduled time Cha arrived, she was dressed casually but the joy of being home was on her face, to Raj that was a clear signal that she is in good mood and hopefully that's a good start. Post greeting each other getting to know how they were doing coffee was ordered, Raj started to talk about his first few days in University and his experience like a nervous boy he was talking endlessly. He was trying to avoid eye contact because he knew if he did so, it may spill the beans.
Cha: Raj, whats the matter are you all good, you are sweating , I know I should not ask you but did senior trouble you? (she was clearly worried based on her limited experience with seniors)
Raj ( to avoid nervousness and appear confident): Oh, No.. no not at all, they are good but you know they have that usual senior business (not to disclose anything regarding his encounter with seniors and keep focus on his goals). How about you, how is your batch? Anyone good there (just to check, if any competition is in his way)? Hope seniors are very warm and welcoming (with lot of nervousness)?
In comes waiter (knowing the entire background): Sir would you like to have cold water?
Raj: Yes please… (to hear more from Cha)
Waiter: Tap or mineral?
Raj (half annoyed and getting anxious, directing toward Cha): Ask madam…
Cha: Tap water please.
Waiter (sensing the nervousness and to annoy Raj a bit more): So would you like to try our new range of grilled sandwiches?
Raj (now totally annoyed but yet controlling anger and trying to avoid waiter): Can you please get coffee first we may decide later.
After waiter went away, Raj took a sigh of relief and now curious to know story on Cha's side.
Cha (as if she was confused what to say): I don't know, I am really confused. I knew that when you go to University you may not have comfortable conversations with seniors but the problem is not seniors the problem is current batch. (As expected Raj's worst fear was coming true, he was now more determined than ever to express his feelings).
Cha: I don't know what guys think of themselves, there is this guy call Chi who for no reason is trying to get up close with my friend Rita (Raj took a big sigh of relief, thank god it was not for Cha), she is an innocent girl who is my good friend, she has worked hard and got a good college I think she should study rather than waste time in being romantic at this junction (Raj again nervous thinking what to say or do, he was sweating even more now)
Waiter: Here is your order sir, anything else (With a smile looking towards Raj with expectation for sandwich order)
Raj (looking towards Cha, to ask if she wanted): Ask Madam
Cha: No we are fine thank you.
Cha started to tell the entire story and each and every encounter with Chi, as if it was inscribed in her mind ( at that very same moment Chi was missing Cha and those days in college) with every sip Cha was taking Raj was getting to know that Cha was not ready for proposal and was getting even more nervous. She finished half his cup and her story and asked Raj (who has just had 2 sips of coffee till now) to share his experience.
Raj wanted to keep the conversation going on for as long as he could so that she does not ask to leave and the waiter does not bring the bill, with every sip Raj's throat was getting dry. When he finished the story Cha was having the last few sips of coffee, Cha asked Raj to finish his coffee. Raj even more nervous, heard a bang sound, he looked around and was looking for waiter to bring sandwich rather than bill, he called the waiter.
Raj: Can we try your special sandwich?
Waiter (with utter disappointment and lost opportunity expression): Sir we had an electrical fault and we no longer can serve sandwiches.
Cha (interrupting): Its alright we would be leaving now, please bring the bill.
Waiter (the moment he heard that turned around in all excitement without looking at Raj): Yes madam in a minute
Raj (trying to stop waiter, with a dry throat unzipping his sealed lips): Waiter… by then he was gone.
Cha: Why are you trying to waste your money, just save it, you will need it. (Raj even more nervous because he knew what was coming) Look at me Raj you don't look great whats the matter, you can be frank with me and tell me whats bothering you?
Waiter in the mean time brought the bill with card and rose, just as Raj instructed.
Cha totally shocked and surprised and as if the world around had changed, looked at Raj, Raj trying to shy away and still trying to gather strength to say it to Cha.
Cha opened the card just to confirm what she was feeling was right, after Chi's slap incident she did not want to take any hasty step. But to her surprise she was not wrong, it was her fear coming true.
Cha left in a hurry but kept the card with her and threw the rose on ground. Waiter who was just few feet away saw this and turned to take other orders, he knew that he is not getting a good tip.
Same night Chi who wanted to share the news with her mother with whom he was very close got a similar response. Both Cha and Chi were just back for a week and they were in a zone of silence where they had no clue of how to deal with this situation. It's an irony Cha who was focused on studies got a proposal and Chi who was romantic got a promise to focus on studies. Next few days were days where they were trying to be normal but were dealing with silence. Raj on the other hand knew the fate so did not try to get in touch with Cha. A long silence prevailed for next few days.
Oh my silence, my wonderful friend
You live with me and dance on my misery
Such is your agony, I feel just no end
You inflict deep wound and your music never ends
Behold my soul rest at your feet
Either you finish this or just leave
Oh my silence, my wonderful friend…..
Now that both Cha and Chi have faced with there worst fear and facing the real world, it would be interesting how the coming days they behave and what future has stored in for them. I hope to release the next episode soon, but would like to know your views. Till then love life and live life.

The idea of MATCHi was formed when I, a previously enthusiastic player, would resume playing and realise how difficult it was to book times on the fly, to find people to play with and to compete with friends at the casual level.
We at MATCHi believe that you, like us, want to be spontaneous and flexible in your everyday life. With a phone in your pocket, you should easily be able to find an available court, an available partner or a continuation course at the right level regardless of which sport you want to play; tennis, badminton, padel, squash or table tennis.
Soon after we developed online bookings, we found that clubs and venues were crying out for help with administration. Everything from managing cancellations, refunds for bookings, membership lists, or grant management to course registrations and business development through to historical statistics. We also saw the possibilities of digitising entry codes and automating the lights so that courts are lit only during times when they are booked. This benefits the profitability of venues by allowing them to rent times without being staffed, and it's also great for the environment!
MATCHi's vision is to make racket sports easier, more enjoyable and more accessible. Whether you play or offer tennis, badminton, squash, table tennis or padel. That's why we took one step further from traditional booking systems and created what we believe is the world's first racket sport system.
We see it in front of us, the racket sports system of the future. The possibilities are endless; video recording, retina scanning, online meeting places, training course searches, player analysis and physical sensors. Even the possibility of booking parking spaces and charging stations for your electric spaceship.
It's your needs and your desires that help us take the next step. Doesn't matter whether you're a player, board member, venue employee or a programmer with bold ideas. Together we drive growth in racket sports and get more people moving!
It's an exciting time in the racket sport world right now. MATCHi's journey started with a burning desire to improve the everyday lives of players and the issues that sports associates wrestle with and it now continues at the forefront of automation and digitisation for the padel entrepreneurs. There are two completely different realities: the non-profit sports organisation focusing on children and youth, dependent on members and grants, and with courts difficult to rent out compared to the newly built padel venues where the times are booked several weeks before play and where the business is run privately.
Somewhere these worlds meet and in the middle, there is MATCHi. How can we help associations become more financially viable through solid IT support? And what do padel facilities need in terms of knowledge or support when joining the national governing bodies?
MATCHi is passionate about racket sports, public health, sports associations and entrepreneurship. With brave harts, focused minds and cooperation with the racket sport world, we will develop racket sports, make them more accessible to more people and help grow them into whatever they can become!
As the Official Supplier for the Swedish Tennis Association, we help move tennis in Sweden towards more members through digital development. In addition to the work we do to automate the administration of the individual tennis club, we have collaboratively developed an interactive map that makes it easier for tennis players to find their closest club and court. We look forward to our continued cooperation towards a digital racket world where the goal is to increase the number of members in tennis.
Click here to view the map at the Swedish Tennis Association
MATCHi is part of the Padel Sweden Quality Team where we, with other providers recommended by the Swedish Padel Association, work together to drive and increase the interest in padel. We handle member licensing for players and clubs within the Swedish Padel Association. We also assist with the official national padel rankings and develop the competition system that Sweden Padel Tour uses for their tournaments.

More tennis at Österlen is an initiative of Ystad Tennis Club in collaboration with "Skåne Idrotten" to grow tennis at Österlen. This type of project is important for non-profit sports and we obviously want to contribute our knowledge. As "sponsor" of the project, we help the tennis associations in Österlen to automate as much of their administration as possible through, for example, online booking, automatic membership management and entry options. We subsidise and educate the associations so that they can use the same booking system. Through automation, the clubs that have started using MATCHi have seen their bookings increase by about 40% from the summer of 2018 to 2019.

Motorcycle Oxygen Sensor

- Product Introduction
Automotive oxygen sensor is the major sensor component in electronic fuel injection engine control system, and is the key part to control automotive exhaust emission, reduce automotive pollution and improve fuel combustion quality. Oxygen sensor is used in the feedback control system of the electronic control fuel injection device, to detect the concentration of oxygen in the exhaust gas and the air fuel ratio. It is also used to monitor theoretical air fuel ratio (14.7:1) combustion in the engine, and to provide feedback signals to the computer.
- Operating principle
The principle for concentration cell type oxygen sensor is that the difference of the oxygen partial pressure of the two ZrO2 solid electrolytes provides concentration potential. It uses the characteristics of ZrO2 with oxygen ion conduction and no electron conduction at high temperature, Nernst formula can be used to obtain the concentration potential value:
"R" in the formula is the ideal gas constant; "T" is the absolute temperature of the sensing element; "F" is faraday constant; " " is the oxygen partial pressure of the exhaust side; " " is the oxygen partial pressure in air. Thus, at a certain temperature, if the reference gas is the air (i.e., the reference oxygen partial pressure is known), the E value can be determined by the oxygen content of exhaust. A high voltage (0.6 ~ 1V) is generated between the electrodes when the oxygen concentration is low on the exhaust side of the substrate, and the voltage signal is sent to the ECU and amplified. The ECU processes high voltage signal as a rich mixture, and low voltage signal (about 0.1V) is considered as a dilute mixture. Based on the voltage signal feedback of the oxygen sensor, the computer will dilute or enrich mixture accordingly to reach optimal theoretical air fuel ratio.
- Product Features
Our motorcycle oxygen sensor can be applied to the following EFI motorcycle brands: Hero, Lifan, Honda, Benelli, Kawasaki, Suzuki Haojue, CFMOTO, Dayun, Dayang, Regal Raptor, Qianjiang, Jialing and Yamaha etc.

She is so clear and concise; it was obvious that her custom website design was meant for someone like me. We designed a new site from the ground up – content, design, branding and SEO. I really appreciated how she made sure I understood what was needed every step of the way, and helped me flesh out my ideas. I am so happy with the site; it's exactly what I envisioned: Fresh, fun, clean and professional. The inquiries are already rolling in, so it's also pleased my ideal client, which is exactly what it should be doing!"
Megan, Doula & Childbirth Educator
"Sarah is creative genius in motion. She teased out truths about business – things I hadn't previously crystallized – and now I feel even more clear my business direction. She listens deeply, speaks from knowledge and experience, and is willing to try new things! It was a pure joy for me to see and sense how much FUN she was having as she created my site. I also appreciated knowing that she focused primarily on the building of my site during the time frame we agreed upon, and has plenty of resources and tutorials available to help guide the way. It felt good knowing we were both rowing the boat together, at the same time."
Karen, Massage, Reikii & Craniosacral
"Working with Sarah on our online branding has helped us to create a website that genuinely reflects our personalities, our brand and our hope for our clients – that they be drawn into a warm, supportive community through their contact with us. If you're looking for someone to help you focus and refine your vision with a beautiful aesthetic design that will communicate those ideals on your website, you can't go wrong with The Website Doula."

A lot of what goes into building your brand is simply telling your story. At its core, the heart of your corporate story is the voice of your brand.
Stories are as important now in the digital world as have been throughout time for people to learn their heritage and history.
And while it's true that facts are important, it's the stories that make us care, connect and respond.
Stories are in everything and everything can become a story. Videos are a powerful tool to tell your brand story, bringing to life the very core of your company and your brand.
When creating a video designed to build your brand, don't try and cram everything your brand into one long, very dull, very informative video. When consumers are watching videos online, they are looking for short snippets of information, interesting and quick little videos where they can get what they want in no longer than 90 seconds.
When viewing videos online, people want information, they want to learn how to, and most of all be entertained. When you create online videos, you not only build your brand, but you build trust and become the authority when it comes to giving advice in your particular field of business.
Increase your visibility and presence with online video and present your brand story.

I'm sitting here, near tears and almost shaking. August 10th. Tomorrow-4 years to the day, I entered the hospital for heart failure.
I'm emotional because tomorrow, I meet the doctor who will save my life.
I hate doctors. Doctors want to help people? I guess. My experience has been: few doctors actually want to help people and are mostly in it for the money, power, prestige. Most doctors would scoff at that. "I coulda been a lawyer if all I wanted was money." This is what I imagine they would say as they rip off their surgical mask with wind superheroic-ly blowing through their hair and scrubs.
I guess it depends on the doctor, why they do what they do. There are as many kinds of doctors with as many kinds of skills and temperaments as there are McDonald's employees. Sometimes you get a good one, sometimes you get a person having a bad day or ignorant of what to do. Regardless, doctor or McD's cashier, they're both doing a job that I can't and don't want.
Who voluntarily says that they want to be a doctor of fat people? Not many. I'm guessing the number is approximately equal to those who study proctology. But I guess my doctor/surgeon wants to help overweight patients since he's been doing it for over 10 years, almost 15, maybe more. He's saved more than 5,000 patients with bariatric surgery. Saved their life, in most cases. 5,000. Can anyone reading this say that they've saved 5,000 lives? That's a superhero.
So, I guess I'm a little nervous to meet my superhero surgeon face-to-face.
I want so much to succeed. I want to meet my goals that I've had for over 4 years. I want to get healthy. And so much is riding on this surgery. Quality of life, length of life, complete healing. I don't know if most doctors realize how much they're helping? Do they know how fragile their patients are? Can they feel how desperate they are? Do they know the true power they hold? Do most patients tear up at the promise of help?
I'm scared I can't live without food. That I'll hurt myself because I've hurt my body for 43 years; in little, drawn-out ways and in big, stupid ways. Please, God. Help me stop hurting myself. I want to so desperately be the person you created me to be so long ago. I want to fulfill my promise. Your promise. Help me. Help me be focused on what's right and help me stand up for help, for myself and others. Help me be a superhero.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. And a doctor who's willing to help.

Last month at the airport on my way home from Miami, I was waiting in line to check my bags. The line was long and there was only one attendant handling all the customers. Suddenly a very frustrated woman walked up to the desk and asked for help. She explained that another airline employee directed her to go up front for help with her bags. The attendant, being frustrated herself showed lack of empathy and told her that her bags were not checked properly and that she needed to go to the self-check-in machine to print the proper tag from it. The customer after being bounced around from station to station insisted that the attendant help her. Before the situation intensified, a young man in his 20's offered to help the lady and walked her through step by step on how to print and place the luggage tag on her suitcase. Immediately, the woman's mood softened, and I was happy to witness that random acts of kindness still exist.
To give without expectations comes from the heart. Giving does not have to be monetary. It can be done with a random smile, a thoughtful gesture, or a listening ear. February 17th marks the official "Random Acts of Kindness Day." Officially starting in New Zealand, this day has spread worldwide growing in popularity.
Being kind does not only feel good for the recipient, but rather the giver as well. When we act in a positive way, the body produces endorphins, the body's natural pain killer. It makes us feel warm inside, calms us down, and gives us an overall feeling of happiness.
There are many ways that we can give random acts of kindness and when we do, we are setting good examples for our children as well. Here is a list of a few ideas that you can do and share with others:
- Donate time to a local charity
- Offer to babysit for free
- Send an email of gratitude for someone that has helped you
- Bring an unexpected treat to a friend or neighbor
- Leave a positive note on someone's car
- Call someone to say hello and ask them about their day
- Make and distribute homeless packets
The ideas are endless. May we look at this day as a reminder as to how simple it can be to create a positive ripple effect in the world. Remember, you have the power to make someone's day a little brighter!

While hiking in springtime, I come across the hairy woodpecker often. It is easy to find them in the spring as they are often making their call, which is not really a call, it's the sound of the bird beating its beak against hard wood.
Yesterday I came upon a hairy woodpecker doing his thing and I had my iPad mini with me. So I may a brief video to share. Here is the link. If you go to full screen mode, you'll see him, but hearing him is the important part. One you've heard him, you'll hear him again.
When I get a chance, I'll add a close-up photo, but I can't find one in my files. Funny how I see some birds a million times, but don't take a photo.

In a sign of how marketable the idea of foreclosed homes has become, Bank of America is planning to auction off some of its Inland Empire properties Saturday -- with no investors allowed, the bank says.
Unlike courthouse-steps auctions, known as trustee sales, the homes up for bid Saturday have already been removed from the market, inspected and repaired, according to the bank. Although homes sold at trustee sales typically go at steep discounts, many potential buyers find themselves outmuscled by highly organized teams of investors flush with cash.
On Saturday the bank will be selling more than 100 foreclosures at the Ontario Convention Center in Ontario. The auction is open only to bidders who intend to live in the properties, as well as to nonprofit housing agencies and to city governments participating in specific federal housing programs.

Gearing up to big game Saturday - COUNTDOWN IS ON!
As the players jumped on to the ice in the arena bowl for the first time in a month today to continue their preparations for the big game on Saturday there was a hive of off-ice activity going on too. The first pages of the new look match night magazine came off the presses at Temple Printing today. The magazine - still only £3 - is packed with new features again this season, not least the Release the Beast player profile and there's a welcome for all the new guys and a feature interview with new player-assistant coach David Clarke and much more in issue number one. It'll be on sale all around the arena on Saturday when the GMB Panthers entertain rivals Cardiff - face-off 7pm. Script writing for rinkside DJ Ken Feast is at an advanced stage too with new sponsors announcements to be incorporated. Fans are reminded the new match day meals deal sees an offer of buy one get one half-price at the luxurious Pizzeria Savai with your match tickets. On the injury front, Steve Lee was "giving it a go" on the ice today and further assessment will take place on his injury recovery over the next 24 hours. Stephen Schultz remains a doubt. PANTHERS v DEVILS SATURDAY AT 7 O'CLOCK The LOUDER the ROAR...the BIGGER the SCORE!

This year's likeliest best-selling lip color (so far)
Unfortunately, it's a little too early to run the sales reports just yet, but it's entirely possible to put our inner psychic to work and predict a likely contender for best-selling lip color.
Your Beauty Advisor is your "BBF" – Beauty Best Friend , providing you with with the latest and greatest information on skin care, hair care, makeup and wellness.
Unfortunately, it's a little too early to run the sales reports just yet, but it's entirely possible to put our inner psychic to work and predict a likely contender for best-selling lip color.
Do you wear makeup to the gym? Don't worry, we won't give away your "prissy" beauty secrets – in fact, we'll help you keep them safer!
Just because you'll be covering up your hands and feet until it's gorgeous outside doesn't mean you should leave your nails bare. After all, you might not be walking around in a swimsuit and flip flops, but you're bound to take those mittens and boots off eventually – and if you're anything like me, you'll want to appear polished (pun intended) when you do.
Heavy eyeliner, thick mascara and bold red lipstick are awesome if you're trying to turn heads at a party on a Friday night. How can you translate your nighttime makeup routine into one that's acceptable for day?
From bright red to bubblegum pink, no celeb would hit the red carpet without the perfect color pout – and neither should you! The right lipstick can tie together any outfit and make you look polished and pretty in seconds, whether you're attending a movie premier or picking up some bread at the grocery store.
Follow these tips to highlight your cheekbones. The technique is called contouring. The natural lines created by the structure of your skull create contours on your face. The makeup technique of contouring is to bring attention to these naturally attractive contours by putting neutral makeup around them, not directly on
No woman likes the idea of walking around town with not-so-luscious lips. Unfortunately, a simple case of chapped lips can quickly turn into a cracked and bleeding pout. To keep your pucker smooth and healthy during those harsh winter months, try and follow a few or all of these simple tips.
The results are in – head-turning lipstick is back and better than ever. Of course, this beauty trend demands your lips to go big and bold or go home. Color is the name of the game and this season any bright hue will do as long as you feel confident rocking the shade.

Shiloh, almost six square miles in Tennessee that once housed families and farms, a peach orchard, a couple of ponds, smiles and laughter, over 70 buildings of one sort or another.. One hundred and fifty years ago, the Blue and the Gray clashed in a bloody battle, over 111,000 men met in this small space; over 7,000 died, more than 30,000 others were wounded. One of the first battles of the bloodiest war in the history of America in the War Between the States, took place in April 1862 at Shiloh.
It has become known as the Civil War, fought from 1861 to 1865, over 10,000 battles raged across the country – as far west as New Mexico, but concentrated in along the borders states between the Union and Confederate states. There are many monuments to both throughout the country, this was our first all out tour of a military battlefield. The Shiloh National Military Park is well put together, the museum holds artifacts from the time period, the movie is well worth every minute, but the battlefield is what will impress you most.
Each space is filled with markers that relate the troop movements, relate the battles won and lost, the sheer number of participants. There is a nine mile loop that takes you through the various spaces to give you an idea of what it must have been like, but we were there with probably 100 other people, not 100,000. I can't even imagine the crush of people, all carrying weapons, the damages were staggering to both the North and the South.
The National Park Service does an awesome job preserving this military park. I recommend this one at Shiloh to anyone, we also stopped at Brices Crossing, not as much to see, but still interesting. The one in Tupelo, not so much – we made the trip because we didn't know what to expect. It was a city park, 1 acre square, aside from the two confederate tombstones, there wasn't anything to see.

If we had a vibrant economy where delinquincies were receding and employment was roaring back (NOT!), it would make sense that banks would take on a little more risk. The evidence is clear, though. We have recovery in share prices, but the budgets of households are not back where they were. Credit card charge-offs are up, and unemployment is still high.
That is why it seems odd that some of our largest banks have decided to offer a new payday-loan product. US Bank, Wells Fargo, and Fifth Third are three banks that are rolling out short-term loan programs where APRs exceed 120 percent.
Did I mention that each of these banks was given a huge TARP investment? True, US Bank and Wells have already repaid their TARP funds, and Fifth Third indicates that it intends to do the same in the next quarter.
I think the appearance of these new products reveals how this credit crisis is hurting middle America. Consumers don't want to use loan products like payday loan-priced advances on their next paycheck. They would prefer to use credit cards (interest rates of as much as 29 percent) or a line of credit (perhaps 12 percent.) These new payday products cost at least 120 percent. People aren't dumb. They are taking this bad deal only because banks aren't offering something more reasonable.
Let's review the new payday products.
Fifth Third's Access Now: "when you need money but you don't have time to wait." The cost is simple - $1 for every $10 advanced. Funds are repaid with the next direct deposit. If your

Chief executive wants to trim executives team at Waikato DHB

Chief executive wants to trim executives team at Waikato DHB

A proposed restructure of Waikato District Health Board's executive leadership team will trim the number of senior managers reporting directly to the chief executive by seven.
The DHB's leadership team of 18 is one of the highest in the country, second only to Auckland DHB with 20, and the same number as Capital and Coast DHB.
The move follows the Weekend Herald's revelation last week that executive leadership teams at the country's 20 district health boards are costing taxpayers $60 million a year.
Waikato DHB's executive team earned $4.6m of that figure.
Interim chief executive Derek Wright, who took the helm after Dr Nigel Murray resigned amid an expenses scandal in October last year, has now proposed a reshuffle that would trim the team by two executives, and reduce those reporting to him to 11.
In the proposal, posted on the DHB's intranet this week, Wright wants to create a deputy chief executive role to take responsibility for the board, virtual health, property and infrastructure, and human resources.
All four areas had a tumultuous year in 2017 under Murray's leadership.
The board was rocked by the expenses scandal after it was revealed Murray spent $218,000 of taxpayer money in three years and board chairman Bob Simcock resigned over the fiasco in late November.
That case is now being investigated by the State Services Commission.
The DHB's flagship virtual health app SmartHealth has failed to attract targeted numbers since its launch in May 2016 and the procurement of HealthTap, the American information technology company that powers SmartHealth, is under investigation by the Auditor-General's office.
In August the Herald revealed the cash-strapped DHB's $7.7 million refurbishment of Hamilton's KPMG building had blown out to $14.7m in one year.
The DHB had to seek permission from the Ministry of Health to continue the refurbishment, originally envisaged to hold 800 staff, but after Murray left Wright decided the executive team would return to the Waikato Hospital campus.
And in November the DHB was forced to apologise to a former health promoter who was unjustifiably dismissed.
Kathleen Archibald won an employment case against the DHB but with Murray's approval, the Human Resources department appealed, lost the argument again and was ordered to pay her $10,000, a severance payout and legal fees.
In the restructure Neville Hablous' chief of staff position would be disestablished and he would become deputy chief executive, overseeing the four departments.
However, the management of virtual health would be transferred to the office of the chief medical officer after the DHB's own review of HealthTap is complete, expected to be before the contract is due for renewal in May.
"I think one of the issues they had is they tried to run this (SmartHealth) as an IT project separately and I want it to sit clinically because it's really about how we deliver clinical services," Wright said.
The position of executive director of virtual health and innovation, held by Darrin Hackett, will be reviewed and potentially replaced with a director of virtual health.
A fortnightly meeting of the 18-strong executive team would reduce to a one-hour, weekly meeting of 11 key managers, including the acting chief medical officer Rees Tapsell and the executive director of Te Puna Oranga Loraine Elliott.
Tapsell would also take over management of the junior doctors' office within Waikato Hospital.
Other notable changes are the stepping aside of Professor Ross Lawrenson as clinical director of strategy and funding to concentrate on research.
Under the proposal that role would merge with one currently held by Dr Damian Tomic, to become clinical director of primary care and strategy and funding.
That position and that of Ian Wolstencroft's executive director of strategic projects would drop outside the executive leadership team and will no longer report directly to Wright.
Wright said the restructure was about separating out day-to-day work from strategy, aligning the executive structure with the future needs of the DHB, and reducing the number of people who directly report to him.
"The restructure is aimed at giving greater clarity to how and where decisions are made and ensuring enhanced clinical input/partnership."
Wright confirmed the demoted executives would not take a pay cut.
The proposal is open for consultation by staff and a decision is expected on February 26.

Well, the wind was blowing so hard Saturday that it was very hard to continue with the craft fair.
Tents were blowing up in the air people were chasing after their merchandise and some displays broke shattering glass all over the parking lot. Cyndi, Debbie, Mary Anne and myself packed it up about 1:00 as the majority were leaving then also.
I at least sold enough to pay for the booth 🙂
I am going to have a class this coming Sunday at 2:00-5:00 to make a couple of cards and make an item from the upcoming new catalog. The cost is $10.00. Please let me know if you would like to attend, so I can prepare the materials. One of the cards will be Mother's Day!
