Thank you very much.I have since edited the post to remove the discrepancies.Delete
Glad you pointed out in time.
Hello KP sir.. I do not have a keen eye for details but your brilliant narration keeps me engaged and eyes are scanning every word in the story. It is so heart warming to engage ourselves in the conversation too.Delete
A nice story and beware of good looking tricksters!
Gripping read! Nice twist in the story.Delete
Great story. Remarkable presence of mind for Renuka.ReplyDelete
That was crisp with a great ending. Actually I had seen the red herring when he mentioned 'contracts' with IT companies. I am becoming quite a sleuth, wouldn't you agree? :)ReplyDelete
Story is good and this deception was unexpected. However, it's difficult to believe that an entire bank could have just one employee at any given time!ReplyDelete

After initial overpowering prospects, story veered into romantic high tea , finally bordering on violence with criminal intent,ending in arrest of culprit in the locker room of the bank.ReplyDelete
Did not expect the end. Was expecting a light romantic read. We need people to be more aware and alert like Renuka. I applaud Renuka for not letting her attraction for Shilesh or fear of situation deter her from her bold move. Quick thinking on her part. Great story with a greater twist.ReplyDelete
Great story with a super ending.ReplyDelete
Call of duty was higher for Renuka.
So tough to trust anyone! We can never be sure of anyone's motives.

Oh my God! Absolutely brilliant!! Marvelous story! Definitely did not see that coming!! 😃😃🙏ReplyDelete
Gripping read! Nice twist in the story.
Aha!,Budding romance didn't bear fruit.Curiosity-creating end.Nice.ReplyDelete
Took us by surprise! Never expected Renuka to react so shrewdly. You made us think that she was a vulnerable girl!!ReplyDelete
Renuka shows great presence of nind. Not everyone can have a balanced approach. To let the mind win over the heart shows a solid characterReplyDelete
Good presence of mind displayed by Renuka.ReplyDelete

Music Mends Minds
Irwin Rosenstein, a former real estate attorney, was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2006. Because of the side effects from his Parkinson's medications, dosages were reduced. After that, his wife noticed his piano playing changed.
"He was like a thirsty plant being watered," says Carol Rosenstein.
Music, like life's other pleasurable experiences, releases dopamine, the body's own feel-good chemicals. And through playing and singing, Irwin was feeling more of it. He also participated in an intergenerational respite program at UCLA where he played the piano and mentored students. The experience changed his life and the lives of others, too.
A New Life Purpose
Irwin and his wife co-founded Music Mends Minds, a nonprofit organization devoted to seniors and patients afflicted with cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases. This usual musical enterprise creates bands by inviting high school and college music students to play and rehearse with musical seniors who have various disorders. Music serves as the common thread that connects young and old in a meaningful way.
"By playing together, they must coordinate their musical activities," says Marco Iacoboni, MD, UCLA Semel Institute and advisory board member of Music Mends Minds. "I believe this form of human attunement is very powerful and beneficial to the mind."
Two years after the launch of Music Mends Minds, there are nine bands in the program, with hopes to expand nationwide. Each band creates its own unique identity. For example, the "Home for Heroes" band has attracted veteran musicians and singers who are low functioning.
"They are becoming more of a percussion group with singers," says Mrs. Rosenstein. "They're having fun and look forward to every rehearsal."
Together Is Better
The musicians are more than entertainers; they are ambassadors—communicating what's possible because of and in spite of a debilitating disease. Playing in a band may also help slow the progression of dementia, as some studies have suggested.

On May 10th I hosted a featured discussion here on the Toolbox based on the question:
As Boomers begin to leave the workforce and a new generation, with different career values and aspirations moves into it, the workplace is undergoing a number of major changes. What do you see as the five MOST critical skills/characteristics needed to be a highly effective leader five years from now?
First I'd like to thank everybody for the wonderful and thoughtful replies. I sat down and looked over what everyone had to write and compared it with some of my other research and wanted to pass along what, at least this group, seems to think were some of the top skills necessary to be a highly effective leader five years from today.
Being an excellent communicator was the single most mentioned attribute. Comments focused on communicating the vision, being transparent, being honest and being extremely skilled at making complex information simple to understand… being good at clarifying information and expectations.
Another very frequent response was a focus on the attribute of character/integrity. It was felt by the majority of the respondents that to be an effective leader of others, you must first be a highly effective leader of yourself. Additional comments included humility, self-awareness, learning agility, and the ability to accept critical feedback.
The next most cited attribute was teamwork. Respondents especially focused on the ability to build teams and relationships across different cultures and generations and foster a strong sense of loyalty and trust within the team. An interesting addition to this attribute was the ability to use technology to communicate effectively with the younger generations.
The respondents also mentioned the more standard attributes of a leader around creating a clear, compelling and vivid vision – communicating that vision effectively – and establishing the necessary plans, goals and objectives to accomplish the vision.
Which brings me to the last attribute that was mentioned numerous times – a bias for action – the ability to deliver required results.
So, based on the feedback from the Toolbox community it seems that some of the attributes necessary for being an effective leader in the future are:
- Communication
- Character
- Teamwork
- Vision
- Planning
- Driving Results
Not exactly earth shattering or revolutionary, but absolutely a good, solid and focused list of attributes that any leader – today, tomorrow, or far into the future – will need to be superb at if they hope to be a truly effective and successful organizational leader.
PS – it is interesting to compare the list above with the recent article I wrote on "Attributes of World-Class Leader." In that posting I listed what I felt were the core attributes of a world-class leader of today and tomorrow. Click HERE to read that article.

The Minnesota Timberwolves found out just prior to tipoff that they'd be without J.J. Barea, who is dealing with back spasms. With Barea out, the Wolves had just two healthy guards (Ridnour & Shved) as well as Rubio, who was unfortunately still on a minute 'cap'.
The Minnesota Timberwolves had just ten healthy players for this one, while the Oklahoma City Thunder had a full roster without a single injury. I don't mean to sound like a 'big baby' but it's just unfair. Unfair that we (as fans) have had to suffer through all these player injuries to guys like Rubio (out to start the season), Kevin Love (out to start the season and now, likely for the rest of the season) and then guys like Brandon Roy, Malcolm Lee & Chase Budinger all dealing with significant knee injuries. I'm just praying that Nikola Pekovic & Andrei Kirilenko stay healthy, because without them--the Wolves have absolutely no shot to stay competitive this season.
There's not to much to tell about this one, though. The Wolves kept it close through the first half as it was just a five-point game (42-47). That was thanks in large part to a big second quarter from Alexey Shved where he scored 14 of his 18 points.
Then came the second half. You could see a lot of 'tired legs' out there as the Wolves were playing the second game of a back-to-back set, while OKC had last played on Monday night. The Thunder were able to push the lead to 12 after three quarters. Things didn't get much better in the fourth quarter, after 3-4 minutes into that final quarter the Thunder had pushed the lead to 20 (at one point) and put their deep reserves in: Eric Maynor, Hasheem Thabeet, Reggie Jackson, DeAndre Liggins, etc.
Despite keeping it close through the first two quarters, I think we all knew that the Wolves didn't have much of a chance in winning this one--extremely shorthanded, playing one of the NBA's best teams and doing so on a back-to-back set.
Let's take a look at tonight's top performers...
The Minnesota Timberwolves had ten healthy players. The Minnesota Timberwolves played all ten guys and not a single one of them finished with a positive +/-. Needless to say tonight's 'top performers' were based solely on points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks.
Alexey Shved had that big second quarter, but struggled in a number of other areas. Shved has soon during his short time in the NBA that he struggles against stronger more physically imposing guards. So, when guys like Russell Westbrook or Thabo Sefelosha press up on him--like they did tonight, it becomes hard for Shved to maintain control of the ball which was evident with the 7 turnovers in tonight's game.
Nikola Pekovic only played 27 minutes (not really sure why), but still finished with a double-double. The biggest surprise of this isn't the 27 minutes he played, but rather that he only took 10 shots. There were numerous times when the Thunder were playing man-to-man defense and had single coverage on Pek down in the paint. I counted a number of times where the Wolves had spaced the floor, leaving Pek open down low with Nick Collison covering him and instead of feeding him the ball the Wolves opted for a contested mid-range or three-point shot...it was absolutely mind-boggling. With Kevin Love out, Nikola Pekovic is the team's best offensive weapons. I understand that the mid-range or three-point shots open up things for him down low, but when Pek has Collison guarding him in the paint...you've got to take advantage!
Derrick Williams had another terrific game off the bench. He scored 8 of his 14 in the fourth quarter while also adding 11 rebounds for his first double-double of the season. I definitely like how he's been playing lately as he hit a number of difficult shots in tonight's game. I really like him in this role (coming off the bench) with Dante Cunningham as the team's starting power forward. With the success both have found in their new roles (with Love out) I don't see any reason to change what's clearly working.
I won't go on about Durant or Westbrook, we all know what those guys can do, they're great on both ends and they're the heart and soul of this squad. With all of Minnesota's injuries (particularly), I got to thinking what if the Thunder lost Kevin Durant for the season? I think Westbrook, Martin and Ibaka could still lead them to the playoffs, but they'd likely face a quick first round exit as a 7th or 8th seed. This team is built around four guys (Durant, Westbrook, Ibaka and Martin) and they don't have a lot of great depth on this roster with a second unit of Reggie Jackson, Kevin Martin, Perry Jones, Nick Collison and Hasheem Thabeet. If your a Thunder fan, I'd pray for good health for your superstars!
MISC. STATS: Nikola Pekovic threw up a three-pointer from nearly the full length of the court as time expired in the second quarter, the shot was well short, but he did get it off before the buzzer, as such that's Nikola's first and only three-point attempt in his NBA career.......Luke Ridnour finished with four steals which ties a season-high (the third time this season he's had 4 steals in one game).......Ricky Rubio played a season-high 22 minutes (despite being on a 20 minute limit)......Alexey Shved had 2 steals in the game which ties a season/career-high (and is the 9th time this season he's had 2 steals in one game)........Derrick Williams' 9 defensive rebounds is a new season-high and his 11 total rebounds is a season-high, but also ties a career-high (tonight was the third time in D-Will's career he's finished with 11 rebounds)......Lazar Hayward was up against his former team and had a season-high 8 points (all during 'garbage time' in the fourth quarter). Hayward tied a career-high with his four made free throws in tonight's game......
Team Stats...
KEY STATS: The Thunder shot the ball very well from deep. They struggled during the first quarter shooting the ball just 28.6% from the field. If you'd like some 'key stats' that you can point to as to why we lost: the Thunder's 23 fast break points, 39 points from their bench and forcing the Wolves into 19 turnovers that they turned into 26 points.
MISC. STATS: Minnesota's 84 points ties their second-lowest scoring output of the season.......The Thunder's 23 free throws made and 106 points both tie the second-highest totals for a Wolves opponent this season, while their 13 steals is the second-highest mark for a Wolves opponent.......The Thunder's 76 field goal attempts is also the second-lowest total for a MIN opponent this season.......
That's all for now, the Wolves will be back in action vs. the Hornets in New Orleans on Friday night. We'll have a full gameday preview of that one Friday afternoon, until then, thanks for reading HOWL and GO WOLVES!

Car Hire Ubeda
Compare the cheapest car hire in Ubeda.
Ubeda is a small Spanish town located in the Ubeda judicial district, La Loma de Ubeda comarca, Jaen province, Andalusia autonomous community. The name of Ubeda comes from the Arabic Ubbada al-'Arab, as the influence of the Arabs is still felt in the city. Thanks to the impressive heritage of Ubeda, this town and that of Baez were named UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 2003. The city was inhabited since before Roman times and until present Muslims, Christians and Jews put their print on the development of the city. If you plan to visit it, you need to know which are the best places to see in Ubeda in a matter of days.
Top Attractions within Ubeda
Vasquez de Molina Square is one of the best examples of Renaissance architecture in the city of Ubeda and in the whole Spain. This square was one of the motives which influenced the decision of UNESCO to declared the city a World Heritage Site. Once you reach the square, take a walking tour and visit the most important buildings in it: Dean Ortega Palace, Vasquez de Molina Palace, Saint Mary of the Royal Alcazares and Holy Chapel of the Savior.
Taperia Antique is one of the best restaurants in Ubeda. The menu is always changing to offer new and interesting dishes. It is based on the Spanish cuisine, but do not be surprised if you will see in it unheard of foods, as the chef is very creative. To decide what to try, ask for the advice of the staff, who is very friendly and nice.
Los Reales is another eatery of Ubeda, located at 23 Calle Real. For low cost food that comes rapidly to the table, this is the place you need to visit. It offers Spanish and international foods and it has a great cheese selection. As the place is not expensive, you could take advantage and try a few local wines, which are really tasty.

For decades, the Alberni District Fall Fair has been the highlight of late summer in the Valley, a way to bring the community together, while also give back.
This year is no different, with all your returning favourites, plus a whole host of exciting new offerings to delight the 19,000 people expected over four days, Sept. 6 to 9.
"The Fair is a gathering place for the community," reflects manager Ann Siddell. "We have lots of attractions and entertainment, made possible thanks to hundreds of volunteers, but it's all designed to give back to the community."
From the Saturday morning parade along 10th Avenue – a free show for the community beginning at 11 a.m. – to special rate days to ensure the Fair remains both accessible and sustainable, the Alberni District Fall Fair continues its legacy of giving back. Thursday offers $3 admission from 5 to 11 p.m., with $1 from admissions for the first hour going to the Bread of Life food bank. In the midway, Thursday night rides are just $3 each.
Throughout the run of the Fair, admission for children age 6 to 12 is just $3 and for those age 5 and younger, it's free!
And if you don't want to carry your coat and other belongings around all day, visit the Junior Fair Members just inside the main gates for a coat/bag check.
Need more reasons to visit? Here's 5 (plus 1 extra)
1. Salute our agricultural roots: From horse shows to Old McDonald's Farm – always a draw for the younger fair-goers – 4-H displays and more, the animals and other agricultural displays are always a hit, reflecting the Alberni Valley's historical connection for farming while supporting the next generation of growers and producers.
Be sure to stop by the Junior Board's Selfie Booth, hosted in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture with their new Buy BC initiative. Take a selfie and post with provided hashtags, then enter to possibly win with daily draws for certificates to a local restaurant, or even a $100 gift card from Quality Foods!
2. Enter to win…BIG: This year's Fair raffle gives the winner a choice of two AWESOME prizes – a 2018 Ford F150 or $25,000 cash! Proceeds from ticket sales not only support the Fair, but also a number of user groups and non-profit organizations, Siddell notes. While on-site, be sure to also check out the Kinsmen raffle for even more opportunities to win.
3. Thrilling shows: Rev your engines Friday and Saturday for Global FMX Motocross, at 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. Friday and 1, 2:30, 4:30 and 6:30 p.m. Saturday, with tractor pulls on opposite hours. Come Sunday, it's time for Logger Sports, with 5 Canadian championships on the line. There's also a full music line-up and LOTS of family entertainment, including the including the Vancouver Island Mad Science Show.
4. Thrilling rides! West Coast Amusements returns with some all-new rides, including a brand new Ferris wheel that will share some awesome views of the grounds and Valley. Save $8 by picking up a $32 all-day ride passes from Port Alberni 7-11 stores and the Tseshaht Market until Sept. 8.
5. Be inspired: The home show section of the Fair is completely sold out, meaning you'll also get some great information and inspiration ahead of the fall renovation season.
+1 more: Fair Food! And we haven't forgotten about the food! From barbecue to Vietnamese – and yes, mini-donuts – there's lots to keep your fuelled through your adventures.

2014 group profit drops 21% because of lower reserve releases and investment returns
Lloyd's insurer Amlin's UK business reported a 105% combined operating ratio (COR) in 2014 because of UK flooding and large losses from its commercial motor book.
The COR was five percentage points worse than the 100% reported in 2013.
The higher COR produced an underwriting loss of £16.3m in 2014, compared with a break-even underwriting result in 2013.
The result was also hit by a small reserve strengthening of £400,000.
Amlin chief executive Charles Philipps described the UK result as "disappointing" and added: "Management are actively taking steps to address particular lines where pricing has proved inadequate."
'Third worst in 30 years'
Amlin incurred £10m of claims from the UK winter floods, which hit in the first quarter. It also suffered a string of large losses from its commercial motor account, particularly in the haulage sub-sector.
The company said: "2014 was the third worst year for large loss activity for the motor account over the last thirty years."
The loss activity pushed the claims ratio up by eight percentage points to 70% (2013: 62%). But the expense ratio fell by three points to 35% (2013: 38%).
UK gross written premium fell 3% to £325.5m (20123: £334m). This was despite rate increases of 3.3%.
Group profit down
Group-wide, Amlin's pre-tax profit fell by 21% to £258.7m in 2014 (2013: £325.7m).
The company attributed this to lower reserve releases and weaker investment returns. Reserve releases were £89.6m in 2014, down 33% from the £133.5m released in 2013.
Investment returns were down 26% to £118.5m (2013: £160.4m).
The group combined ratio increased by three percentage points to 89% (2013: 86%).
Gross written premium increased by 3.9% to £2.56bn (2013: £2.47bn). This was despite average renewal rate reductions across the book of 3.6%.
'Solid result'
Despite the lower profitability, Philipps described the 2014 result as "a solid result in a more competitive trading environment".
He added: "The strength of our franchise, underwriting expertise and ability to adapt are powerful advantages as the market evolves.
"Amlin is well positioned to take advantage of the opportunities created by the pace of change in our markets, and has an excellent track record of cross-cycle underwriting discipline. We continue to believe that we can deliver attractive returns on equity."

Meet Dr. Kris Peterson, Chiropractor in Atlanta
At Virginia Hill Chiropractic, we recognize the unique needs of each patient and we work accordingly to deliver the customized chiropractic care you need to achieve your individual goals. Meet our staff and contact us today to get started on your healing journey!
Dr. Kris Peterson, DC
Originally from a small town in the southern tier of New York, Dr. Kris Peterson is a third generation Chiropractor who graduated from Life University in Atlanta with a Doctorate degree in Chiropractic.
With over 14 years of experience practicing in the Full Spine model of traditional chiropractic, Dr. Peterson's expertise allowed him to build a successful practice in the heart of Virginia Highland, serving the Atlanta communities.
After turning 40, he began playing golf, which led to lower back problems threatening his ability to continue practicing Chiropractic. After visiting several chiropractors throughout Atlanta, the only relief he found was through an Upper Cervical Chiropractic adjustment.
This adjustment not only relieved his back pain, but also eliminated other symptoms he was experiencing including chronic sinus infections, slurred speech, headaches, and a lazy eye. Upper Cervical Chiropractic adjustment changed Dr. Peterson's life and the direction of his future practice.
Having completed over 200 hours of advanced post-graduate training and certification in Upper Cervical Specific Chiropractic, Dr. Peterson now delivers the same high, quality standard of care that led to his own recovery.
His own personal experiences have made Dr. Peterson a compassionate and understanding practitioner who recognizes the unique needs of every patient and wholeheartedly believes that the Upper Cervical Chiropractic approach can help achieve optimal healing and restore patients' health.
Dr. Peterson is an active member of the Georgia Chiropractic Council and the International Federation of Chiropractic Organizations. He is also a strong advocate of keeping Chiropractic a separate and distinct form of healthcare and continues to promote its heritage and lexicon.
In his spare time, Dr. Peterson enjoys boating, snowboarding, hiking, rock climbing and repelling, photography and live music. He and his wife, Tania, have a daughter, Eve.
Community Engagement
Every year Dr. Peterson closes his practice for one week and travels throughout the world to underprivileged nations in order to provide health care and assistance to those who are struggling. Together with a group of 14 other chiropractors, he delivers free Upper Cervical Chiropractic care to thousands of patients who would otherwise be unable to access or afford health care.
Dr. Peterson is passionate about serving global communities through these mission trips and generating awareness about the numerous health benefits of Upper Cervical Chiropractic care.

Just a quick update for CPBA Members on the October 19th Fall meeting in Longmont, Colorado. As you know the CPBA Board of Directors voted not to continue the Summer CPBA meeting as June is always a hard time for Commercial beekeepers to get away. June is one of the busiest months of the year in beekeeping! Beekeepers who make a living from bees should be spending most of their time in the field at that time securing you have done all you can to make a great honey crop and keeping healthy bees!
The CPBA is full steam ahead and has secured another lineup up of great speakers for our October 19th meeting. The fall meeting will remain at the Meeting Place at the Courtyard Marriott Hotel in Longmont. This is the same location as last year. Price for the meeting including lunch is $60 this year. If you are planning on staying overnight you can book rooms at a $109.00 rate. To get that price you must have booked by September 18th. I will work with the Marriott on extending the cut off price into early October if possible.
CPBA has secured Tim Lawrence and Brandon Hopkins from Washington State University along with Bill Collins of Fort Lewis College in Durango. CPBA will have Colorado Department of Agriculture along with several other speakers. Bill Collins will explain work he has done on propolis and its chemical properties and how this connects to new American Foulbrood and Varroa treatments from propolis. Tim Lawrence is the Keynote Speaker and a great guy who has actually been keeping bees for decades so he has a wealth of information to share with us. He will also speak on the most recent work he has done. Brandon Hopkins has been working on the indoor hive wintering project. He has been advising beekeepers on using this system. Indoor hive wintering is the biggest craze in USA beekeeping right now! Beekeepers who have mastered indoor wintering have been doing this for several years and for some reason they have kept their winter loss between 4% to 8%. I personally feel that within the next 10 years 75% of the bees in the USA will be wintered indoors!
Remember to be proactive and remove your honey crop early so you can apply your mite treatments before it's to late. About a week before the honey flow starts to slow down jump on removing the crop ASAP. Start applying treatments as early as last week of August or sooner if high mite loads exist. Research has proven if you have a high mite load going into the fall you can increase survival chance of hives by 30% if you treat 2 weeks sooner. Boulder County and much of the Front Range still remains one of the highest levels of mites in the USA. It is not pesticides doing damage, it is the lack of knowledge on how to control the number one problem in beekeeping which is mites! I would encourage any new beekeeper that is just beginning in beekeeping to attend one of the CPBA's meetings. The CPBA Board of Directors has hundreds of years of information going back as many as 4 generations in beekeeping. If you have hard questions about beekeeping just ask any of the CPBA Board of Directors and they will help you. There is no other Colorado beekeeping club that is even close to having that much background in beekeeping! If you want to learn Best Management Practices along with practical beekeeping the CPBA Fall Meeting is the meeting you should go to. It does not matter if you have 1 hive or 5,000. You are going to learn something that will improve your beekeeping skills! Just ask yourself the question do I want to go to another Bee Club where the leaders are all crying about their bees dying from pesticides and bad management or do you want to go to the CPBA where beekeepers are thriving and keeping bees at a high level?

I met Pat Bowlen and his brother John 30 years ago. They are great guys! I was just reminded of how long we've been selling honey to the Broncos when I saw this note to my wife and me from Pat. Pretty cool getting to sit behind the Broncos bench at all those championship games!

The CPBA had an outstanding 2018 Fall Meeting. We would like to give a huge thanks to Jon Entine, Jerry Bromenshenk and all the other speakers. The CPBA and some of our board members have already donated over $1000.00 to Jon Entine's Genetic Literacy Project (GLP). If you would like to support Jon's work please consider a donation to the GLP. Also, consider taking one of Jerry's Master Beekeeper classes at UMT.
Another big thanks should go to Bob Todd and Jack Moore. Bob helped out a ton at the CPBA Fall Meeting, plus he volunteered for the beekeeper seat on the CDA PAC. The seat has now been filled by Kristina Williams who is also a long time CPBA member. Best of luck, Kristina! Jack Moore, president of the Western Colorado Beekeepers Association, should be the CPBA MVP this year. He has donated his time, money, wisdom and much needed technical expertise (Matt especially thanks him). Thank you, Jack!

The CPBA would like to honor Jack Thomas who recently passed. His contributions to the bee industry were legendary and his company was the most innovative supplier to ever exist to this date.

Beekeeping has never been better in my long career! The bee population will continue to grow each year as long as the almond acreage keeps increasing. If almonds ever go into the tank then beekeeping will most certainly go with it. Honey production can't sustain beekeeping anymore financially so it just shows how the almond pollination is connected to beekeeping survival. The population explosion of bees nationwide and in Colorado is directly connected to this almond acreage increase.
This population explosion of bees is quite different than what is being portrayed in the news and even by some bee club's leaders. They are pushing that bee problems are all pesticides when its not! I have traveled to many Colorado bee club's meetings this year and I have been very happy to see beekeepers are not biting into this fake news. I am finding that even though they have been given bad information on beekeeping, they are actually more in line with the thoughts of the CPBA and this real news article.

I've been a Nova fan ever since I owned a 1963 convertible, almost 40 years ago. Since then, I've owned six more Novas and restored two of them. Most have been 1972 base models, but I've always been on the lookout for a deal on a super sport that hasn't been hacked. So I do like my cars to look original. I first saw this original condition Nova SS over 20 years ago when it was still in primer. It just so happens that a few years ago it came up for sale but since it was now restored, a different color and out-of-state, I didn't recognize it at first.
After looking at the deep stack of documentation I realized it might be the same car… and it was! Knowing where it came from 20 years ago and by examining the documents, I was able to piece together its history. It helped that the car had its original bill of sale, installment contract, new vehicle inspection, protect-o-plate and much more. This is very rare!
It was in the same family for its first 12 years and was always well maintained. For most of the next 20 years it sat in a garage either awaiting restoration or going under restoration. During those two decades, the car was driven only 7,000 miles. Fortunately it was never cut up or made into a hot rod, so all the original parts were still on the car, which made it easier to restore. It now has 61,000 miles on the original drive train (350/350/308), which makes it a rare "numbers matching" car as well as a rare "K VIN" Super Sport. I recently drove it on a 200 mile round trip to Ohio and it ran great!
The car has been garaged and babied since the frame off restoration in 2004, and continues to look and run great. I've been privileged to put a wrench on it and keep in its present condition. It's been just the right amount of work for an old Nova guy,

From 'The Shining' to 'Get Out': 10 Spooky Movies and TV Shows to Stream This Halloween
Trick-or-scare. October is here, which means an abundant amount of candy to devour at your leisure, pumpkin-spice-flavored everything, and binging on scary movies and/or TV series.
From classics like Stanley Kubrick's The Shining to new shows like the adaptation of The Haunting of Hill House, there's something eerie for everyone on this list of content available to stream.
So for those who prefer to stay in and binge on Halloween, The Hollywood Reporter has created a fright fest guide of new and classic content to check out.
The Shining
Stanley Kubrick's 1980 horror film about a man and his family who move into the Overlook hotel for the winter has finally arrived on the streaming service. The film, a loose adaptation of Stephen King's novel, stars Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Danny Lloyd and Scatman Crothers. The scary movie follows Jack Torrance — a writer whose sanity begins to deteriorate — his wife and son, who possesses "the shining," as a series of ominous events occur inside the haunted hotel. Serving up plenty of scares, thrills and what-just-happened moments, this is considered a must-see Halloween film.
The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
For the Riverdale fans. Netflix's newest series is based on the original Archie Comics of the same name and differs a lot on the spooky scale from the Melissa Joan Hart '90s version, Sabrina. Sabrina Spellman returns — this time in a more creepy manner — on the brink of her 16th birthday as she must figure out how to manage her dual life as a half-witch and half-mortal. The show stars Kiernan Shipka in the title role, Ross Lynch as Harvey Kinkle and Miranda Otto and Lucy Davis as Aunts Zelda and Hilda Spellman. The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is available to stream now .
Creeped Out
Black Mirror, but for the kiddies. The Canadian anthology series' first season premiered on Netflix on Oct. 4. In each episode, Creeped Out features a new story and characters narrated by "The Curious," a masked mysterious story collector. Each tale centers on dark magic, features supernatural encounters and delves into the scary world of technology. The first season is currently available to stream.
The Haunting of Hill House
Based on the 1959 novel The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson, Netflix's latest series takes place in the present and follows the Crain family as they move into the infamous haunted mansion, Hill House, and move out only to return again 26 years later. The book has been adapted into two plays and two films, including the 1999 version, The Haunting, starring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Owen Wilson. The supernatural horror series is also currently available to stream on Netflix.
Amazon Prime
It wouldn't be a real fright fest without another Stephen King adaptation. The 1976 film starred Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie as daughter and mother in the first-ever novel by King to be adapted for the big screen. The movie follows Carrie a high school outcast with telekinetic powers, who after a prank, decides to go on a killing spree of her classmates. The movie is currently available to stream for Amazon Prime members.
Amazon Prime
Chance the Rapper makes his feature film debut in this comedy horror film. The rapper portrays Dax Lycander, a known werewolf. Two survivors embark on a mission to solve the case of who is causing the killings of the "Perfect Pizza Base" deliverymen in this Austin Vesely-directed debut murder mystery. The film is currently available to stream on Amazon Prime.
Amazon Prime
Lore is back for more scares. Part of the podcast-to-scripted television trend, the show from creator Aaron Mahnke is an anthology series that tells a new story in every episode. All episodes are based on true life events, providing a history lesson to its audience while exploring subjects such as werewolves, lobotomies and medicine. Season 1 and 2 are now available to stream on Amazon Prime.
For rent or purchase on Amazon Prime Video
Michael Myers is as synonymous with Halloween as Frosty the Snowman is with Christmas. The original slasher film about a masked murder who is released from prison after killing his older sister, only to reek more havoc on Halloween night, is a staple for the month of October. The horror movie stars the Queen of Horror, Jamie Lee Curtis (in her feature film debut) and Nick Castle and is directed by John Carpenter. Before going to see the sequel of the same name, rent or purchase the 1978 version on Amazon.
Get Out
For rent or purchase on Amazon Prime Video
Meeting the parents becomes a nightmare in this Jordan Peele film. Starring Daniel Kaluuya, Alison Williams and Bradley Whitford, this horror production centers on an African-American photographer who discovers a chilling secret about his girlfriend's white family after meeting them. The film was nominated for four Academy Awards and won one Oscar for best original screenplay for Peele. The movie is available on the streaming site to rent or purchase.
Hocus Pocus
For rent or purchase on Amazon Prime Video
Twenty-five years later and the Sanderson sisters are still casting a spell on audiences. Although not considered to be a horror film, Hocus Pocus does have the elements that make for a spooky film — witches, spells and black cats. The fantasy film follows teenager Max, his little sister Dani and their friend Allison, who accidentally awaken three sister witches after being executed in the 17th century in Salem, Mass. It stars Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy and can either be rented or purchased on Amazon Prime.

Yes we have covered this subject before but I have just been given a new perspective. Maybe I have never thought about this sort of help being harmful but I guess it can be – I have recently been to a lecture about Caseworkers and what they are supposed to do. After the three hours I left with the biggest impression being that people who have a role in helping organise and take care of others cross boundaries in a well-meaning yet harmful way.
How many times have we helped someone because we feel good afterward – maybe they never even asked for the help in the first place. Have you ever taken the liberty of organising or helping out because you can get it done faster? (it being whatever you like).
It was funny to sit and listen to how caseworkers overstep boundaries and in their effectiveness sever the already strained connection between family members and those that need extra support. How? Well everyone has family – everyone with an addiction or handicap or illness have people who care about them. Now, not every family has the skills, or energy to handle all addiction, handicaps and illnesses. The family members do their best but as caseworkers step in and do better, quicker jobs – the family is not needed. This can be a relief in strained relations – "good someone else can deal with him/her". What does that mean to a case worker or others in the health care business? Well it means someone has to clean up the mess – the question is whom and how. Should the caseworker they do the job, organize the job, or just orchestrate? How much can family help and be involved?
As the patient becomes stronger how will we gradually lessen the help so it does not become a crutch they lean on? Hmm this actually reminds me a bit of co-dependency. It is a fine line between helping, and harming here. If we do the work the person we are helping is not getting out there and doing the job, learning the process, taking responsibility and so on. Sure we should assist where the ability is weak but we should encourage where there is ability! Not easy to do when human nature is pretty lazy – hey you want to clean my house for me because you don't think its clean enough? Go ahead! But don't think it encourages me to clean up, actually maybe I will wait untill you can't stand the mess and help me out again.
Co-dependents clean up a load of messes that are not our responsibility – for many different reasons. The biggest reason being for ourselves when we are honest about it. We get pats on the back, thank you's and we get the control (imagined or otherwise) we want. Ordered chaos – not just a theory but sometimes a method of survival.
Where do I want to go with this? Like anything else we do I hope we think before we act. Ask before we assume. And allow others the room to grow and step up to their own challenges. No more advice. Just listen. Ask yourself, is my helping hand really a help or a long-term hurt – before we extend it.

Teachers log in with a password, enter the names of students, and select the appropriate lessons for their classes. Reports are easily available to show student progress and the amount of time students spend with the program.
Instructions can be presented in English or Spanish. The lessons are interactive; clear speaking voices guide students through the concepts.
Each of the 48 interactive lessons include six sections—vocabulary with pictorial examples and audio reinforcement in English and Spanish, vocabulary instruction taught interactively in the context of a math lesson, standardized assessment math questions used to check for understanding before a final quiz, a real-world scenario or game, test-taking skills, and a final quiz.
The lessons include extensive and repetitive vocabulary work to build meanings and understandings. This material could be helpful for both English and non-English speaking students.
As the lessons progress, they are interspersed with multiple-choice questions. A correct answer leads to more material; a wrong selection will trigger a repeat of the correct information.
Students apply new skills by working on story problems, such as figuring out the height of a building or the area of a park. Questions during the lesson make sure the student is learning the basics needed to continue. The lesson screen includes buttons for a site map, key terms, a calculator, and a button to continue the lesson. The student controls the pace of the lesson and decides when it is time to take a test or to go to a game for practice. The sound can be turned off or on. Students can choose to print a final test or to start a lesson again. Content/Features Rating: A
Ease of Use: The HELP Math screens are easy to read, with buttons to lead the user to additional information. At the bottom of the lesson page, a Map button lets students select the activity they are ready to explore. A tutorial that can be set for Spanish or English leads the user through the login, tools, lesson selection, program navigation, final quiz, and other special instructions. Ease of Use Rating: A
Product Support: A subscription to HELP Math includes unlimited technical support and free content upgrades each year. A teacher resource guide is provided; online training can be arranged. Product Support Rating: A
Recommendation: HELP Math is an Internet-based program that provides a significant supplementary curriculum for use in the classroom.
The lessons include structured and clearly presented concepts necessary to progress in the field of math. Although the lessons are lengthy, they include vital information that could benefit all students.
Most schools do some pretesting or have the results of state tests from a previous year. This program could be used to help struggling students by targeting specific concepts for review.
I would encourage educators to look at this program to enhance the math knowledge of all students, not just those with language learning challenges. Highly recommended.

text: KennyGolub Posted July 11, 2018 I can't get my password application in the white list. I've created a couple tickets over the last week or so and have received no response. The help file tells me to go to the advanced mode so a popup will appear allowing me to white list it. I have yet to see a popup of any kind in the week I've been running it. I am using Windows 10 and the application is called "Sticky Password". The only way I can use it is to pause protection, run the application, and minimize it on the task bar. I can then enable protection, but must leave it minimized. Prior to installing PC-Matic, it ran on boot up and stayed in the background until called for.

Best Tweets About The Tristan Thompson And Jordyn Woods Cheating Scandal
I like books, flowers, makeup, and long walks. That pretty…
In case you've been living under some sort of rock for these past few days, and have managed to completely miss the situation taking the Internet by storm, it appears as though the Kardashians are involved in yet another drama, as it often seems to be the case. And yes, people will say "who cares", or "enough with the Kardashians already", but you can't deny this latest drama is pretty juicy.
See, it appears as though Khloe Kardashian has just broken up with her boyfriend, and the father of her child, Tristan Thompson because he cheated on her (yet again). But that's not what brings the drama – no, it's because this time around he cheated with Jordyn Woods, who is (was?) Kylie's best friend and a close confidant of the Kardashian-Jenner sisters.

So, yes, it's dramatic and the Internet is acting accordingly, following it like the best drama series there could be. So, scroll down to see some of the best tweets about the situation

Monitors are students at Tower Prep who have volunteered to help enforce the school rules and patrol the school grounds. They take orders directly from Headmaster through earpieces they wear. Monitors wear dark blue sweaters or black jackets instead of the red that other students wear. Like other students, monitors still attend classes for a short time.
When a student is under suspicion of a crime, they can be assigned a monitor who will watch them 24 hours a day. ("Monitored") Monitors have also been assigned to covertly follow students, presumably under Headmaster's orders. ("Whisper")
List of significant monitorsEdit
- Monica
- Chelsea Sloan
- An unnamed monitor (played by Timothy Gledhill) who is immune to hyper-suasion. As such, he is Gabe's arch-nemesis. ("Book Report")
- An unnamed monitor (played by Nathan Dales) appears in several episodes, including "Whisper", "Rooks", "Election", and "Trust". He is sometimes credited as "Security Monitor" or "Head Monitor", indicating a leadership role.

The Promise Of What's To Come ...
Ah! Sunflower
Ah! Sunflower, weary of time,
Who countest the steps of the sun;
Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the traveller's journey is done;
Where the Youth pined away with desire,
And the pale virgin shrouded in snow,
Arise from their graves, and aspire
Where my Sunflower wishes to go!
William Blake
Blue skies and cheerful sunflowers, from the end of last summer..

LORDI To Release 'Recordead Live – Sextourcism In Z7' DVD In July
LORDI To Release 'Recordead Live – Sextourcism In Z7' DVD In July
Finnish heavy metal monsters LORDI will release their new DVD, "Recordead Live – Sextourcism In Z7", on DVD, vinyl and digipack on July 26 via AFM Records.
Besides the live cut of the show in Pratteln, Switzerland, recorded during LORDI's latest "Sextourcism" tour, the DVD provides a lot of bonus material, including some real rarities.
The live show itself has a playing time of two hours. "We just cut a little bit of my stupid announcements on stage," said Mr. Lordi about the impressive duration. "Apart from that, everything that happened this evening ended up on this DVD."
The choice of the Z7 is a matter of duration as well: There is no club that hosted LORDI as often as this one located next to the German border and for that reason, the club became something like a second home to the Finns over the years.
Though there are some live records of LORDI, "Recordead Live – Sextourcism In Z7" is the first official live DVD of the band, checked by the musicians, and was a plan that LORDI had been pursuing for years and finally put into practice during the "Sextourcism" tour. Mr. Lordi states: "I am very happy that we waited until the 'Sextourcism' tour, because we look amazing, the stage looks amazing and everything was perfect to create a stunning DVD."
The bonus material is stunning as well: Alongside a tour diary with LORDI, the DVD provides all of the official video clips the band ever made. Among them a real rarity, the very first official music video for "Inferno", which was made 1994 and was Mr. Lordi's final dissertation at the film academy. Besides production, location and the camera settings, Mr. Lordi was also responsible for writing, directing and editing the video and for costumes and the masks.
"That was the historical moment that the masks and costumes became an essential part of the band," he remembers. "Since it was my final dissertation, everyone was dressed up except me. When I saw the clip for the first time, I was, like, 'Fuck, everybody looks way cooler than I do.' It was supposed to be the other way around. That was the moment, I decided, to create the most elaborate costume for myself."
In the video to "Inferno", Mr. Lordi does not wear a mask. But since a real monster never loses face, the clip was censored afterwards. A retrospective edited mask had Mr. Lordi staying Mr. Lordi.

The Megger MIT400 series industrial insulation tester is an insulation resistance meter with built-in voltmeter for measuring insulation resistance, voltage, and continuity in electrical systems. The autoranging digital meter includes true root mean square (TRMS) and direct current (DC) voltage measurement. The dual LCD screen indicates test results either digitally or with an analog arc function to replicate the response of analog meters. The unit has a voltage detection test inhibit feature prevents testing when a circuit has a voltage of greater than 50V. The tester is safety rated to European Standard EN61010-1, Category IV, 600V and is also Ingress Protection 54 (IP54)-rated for protection against dust and splashing water. The Megger MIT400 series is commonly used by cable installers and maintenance workers.
|Automatic continuity testing range
|0.01 to 100 Ohms (0-50 Ohms on analog range)
|Voltage testing range
|0 to 600V DC or TRMS
|Voltage test inhibit level
|Power supply
|5 AA alkaline or rechargeable batteries
|590g / 20.73oz.
|Safety standard met

H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.
Electrical test meters report electrical circuit properties, such as voltage, resistance, capacitance, and continuity. Available in handheld or benchtop form, they detect electrical problems in equipment, wiring, and power supplies. A variety of probes, clamps, and leads can be used to connect the meter to a circuit or device. Single-function meters, such as battery testers and voltage testers, measure one property of a circuit, and multimeters measure multiple properties. Electrical test meters display information either in analog form using a needle that moves on a calibrated scale, or in digital form using digits or a graphic representation on an LED screen. Meters have electrical properties that are to be measured and the anticipated range of results, and should have a rating that is higher than the maximum value of the anticipated range. An electrical test meter has multiple settings corresponding to potential ranges of values for the properties it can measure. A manual ranging meter requires the operator to flip through different settings until the correct range is reached. An autoranging meter cycles through range settings automatically until it reaches the correct range.
Megger manufactures equipment for cable fault locating, protective relay testing, telecommunications and data integrity, and power quality testing under multiple brand names, among them Megger, Biddle, States, and AVO. The company, founded in 1889, is headquartered in Dover, England, and meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001:2008 standards.

An easy through action rod. A firm favourite of the larger rivers where that little bit of extra power might be needed.
Posted by G Simpson on 19th Aug 2015
I have had this rod for over 12 years now, and it has given excellent service.
Light to use, but powerful enough for all conditions.
A Ghillie on the Tay thought it too light for the river until he tried it....he was amazed.
Used predominantly on the Tay and Spey where the extra length is useful, I can recommend this rod to anyone.
Fawcetts service and prices well above the norm too.

By Aare Afe Babalola
I was shocked beyond description when I received the sad news of the departure of our erudite former Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Hon. Justice Alloysius Katsina-Alu, a Minister in the Temple of Justice and a man who occupied the Bench with unquestionable integrity, character, industry and dignity.
I have seen the departed Learned Justice at close quarters. I have seen him at work and I have also seen him at play. I interacted with him in the court and outside the court and found him to be a genial and humble person who is sold to hard work.
But as traumatizing as the news is, I am consoled by the fact that the departed Jurist lived a most fulfilled life and imparted his community, particularly the Judiciary, his primary constituency, thereby leaving his giant steps on the sand of judicial times.
A professional to the core, the departed legal colossus was a fervent believer in the Rule of Law as against the Rule of Man. His acclaimed brilliance and the very professional ways he conducted himself both at the Bar, the Bench and even outside the Bar and Bench will remain indelible in our psyche. The Bar and the Bench will certainly miss him.
I thank the Almighty God for granting him the enviable grace of being able to make his marks before being called home to rest in His bosom.
It is my fervent prayer that all he worked for whist still with us on planet earth will stand him in good stead before The Maker of all things.
While wishing him a most-deserved rest, I pray that the Almighty Allah will grant you, the entire Katsina-Alu Dynasty and the Judiciary where he served meritoriously the grace and the equanimity to bear the irreparable loss.
On behalf of my family and the entire Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti, ABUAD, I commiserate with the His Lordship, Hon. Justice W.S.N. Onnoghen, JSC, CON, CFR, FCIArb.,FNIALS, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, and the Judiciary for this irreparable loss

John de Gruchy: Christian humanist and woodworker
Everyone from my grandchildren to my wife is nagging me to start blogging. I have succumbed but I really do not know what I am doing so anyone who reads this will have to be patient as I learn the art. But I just wanted you to know that I will soon be up and running with bits and pieces that may be of interest. I have headed this Christian humanist and woodworker just in case the theologian bit in my title puts you off. Why Christian humanist, then? Well I am a Christian but I don't like the media image and long ago became disenchanted with fundamentalism of all kinds. So I wrote a book to tell my story. It was called Being Human: Confessions of a Christian Humanist (2006) and lots of people said they liked what I had to say because it resonated with their own experience. But what about the woodworker bit? Well I am passionate about turning wood in bowls and making furniture for friends and family. You can read about that too in my recent book Sawdust and Soul (2014) which is a conversation with my friend Bill Everett about spirituality and working with wood. So if you would like more of my musings tell me or else I will quietly withdraw from blogging and take up croquet..
