Cavity Wall Insulation - Save Money and Energy
As energy costs continue to rise, Cavity Wall Insulation remains one of the most cost-effective ways of reducing your heating bills. If you act fast, you could also claim a free non-repayable Government-backed Grant to cover all or most of the Installation cost.
Insulation Grants Are Running Out.
- The Green Deal will replace Grants in Autumn 2012.
- Installation costs will be paid through Green Deal loans.
- Loans will be repaid through energy bill savings.
- Non-repayable Insulation Grants are still available now.
- Claim a free Grant today before they run out.
A typical household with Cavity Wall Insulation will save up to £135 per year on energy bills. Without it, up to 35% of the heat in your home will be escaping through your walls.
All private households qualify for a Grant. There are two types of Cavity Wall Insulation Grants. 100% Grants are available to anyone aged 70 and above, or those in receipt of certain benefits, tax credits or allowances. 40% to 70% Grants are available to all other private householders. Read more about Insulation Grants.
However, time is running out to get your free Cavity Wall Insulation Grant. Currently, Grants are claimed by the Insulation installer and do not have to be repaid. From Autumn 2012, Cavity Wall Insulation Grants will be replaced by 'Green Deal' loans. The cost will be recovered through energy bill savings.
What is Cavity Wall Insulation ?
If your home was built after 1924, your walls are likely to have an air gap called a cavity that could benefit from Insulation. Cavity Wall Insulation is installed from the ground floor to the roof by approved professionals, resulting in big savings on your energy bills.
Most installers use Cavity Insulation made from shredded mineral wool (glass fibre) that can reduce the amount of heat escaping your home by up to 35%. Cavity Wall Insulation saves up to £135 per year on energy bills and reduces CO2 emissions by up to 610kg.
Our Cavity Wall Insulation Grants Are For:
- Private, domestic UK households (not commercial).
- Most homes built of brick between 1924 and 1982.
- Shredded mineral wool/glass fibre in most cases.
- Blown into the gap between two layers of bricks.
- Installed from the ground floor to the roof.
- Fitted by approved local insulation installers.
Is my property suitable for Cavity Wall Insulation? Recent research by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has shown that only 58% of all properties that could benefit from Cavity Wall Insulation have been insulated. Your home could be amongst the remaining 42% eligible for a Home Insulation Grant.
The first thing to check is whether your home actually has cavity walls. Most properties built of brick from 1924 onwards are likely to have a cavity. If your property was built before 1924, it will probably have solid walls as shown below:
Another useful indication of whether you have a cavity is if the walls are at least 10" (250mm) thick. If it is less, the walls are likely to be solid. Properties built after 1982 should not need Cavity Wall Insulation, as building regulations changed to ensure it was fitted during construction. Since Cavity Wall Insulation cannot be topped up, it is not worth applying for a Grant if you think Insulation has been installed in the past.
How much could you save?
|Annual saving
|Installation cost
|Payback time
|Carbon Dioxide saving per year
|Up to £135
|£100 - £350
|1 - 3 years
|Around 550kg
These are estimated figures based on insulating a gas-heated, semi-detached home with three bedrooms. The installed cost includes a subsidy of around £250 available from the major energy suppliers under the Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT)
You will NOT be able to have Cavity Wall Insulation installed if:
- Your property was built before 1924 or after 1982.
- You live in a flat and do not have the agreement of neighbours above and below.
- The walls have already been filled with Insulation.
- There are any signs of damp on the inside or outside of the walls.
- The cavity width is less than 2" (50mm) or there is rubble present.
- The property is timber/steel framed, concrete or stone.
- Ventilation is inadequate and a vent cannot be fitted.

As noted in Chapter 13, Windows 2000 is all about networking; most of the world's Windows 2000 Pro computers are connected to a network in some way. Big corporate networks require the purchase of Windows 2000 Server, a computer or two that do nothing but run the network, and the services of a professional network guru.
If you're running a small business—or even a household—on Windows 2000, however, you're still invited to the network party. Without having to buy extra computers, operating systems, or staff, you can create a smaller, less complex kind of network called a peer-to-peer network. It's ideal for setting up several PCs to perform the convenience tricks that make networks so attractive:

Greece EU VAT bail out dispute
Greece announced this week that it would not proceed with a planned VAT raise on certain holiday islands. The austerity measure has been agreed with major debtors of the country as part of a bail out programme stretching back to the Euro crisis.
In addition to the VAT increase delay, the government also announced a one-off payment to pensioners. The two measures have meant that creditors have reacted with a pause on short-term debt relief.
Greece raises VAT on island
From 1 January 2017, Greece had planned to withdraw the 30% VAT rate discount from the last group of holiday islands.
The islands included are: Lesvos, Chios, Samos and Kos.
The discount was given from the mainland standard VAT rate to help curtail reducing population rates on the remote islands. The standard VAT rate in Greece is 24% since June 2016.

Hi guys,
As you know, I am a bit of a skincare addict. I am constantly on the prowl for some miracle product that will help to fade scars and control blemishes. I don't suffer too badly with blemishes but I do suffer from hormonal acne and I hate it! I hate the cysts along my jawline and the odd spot on my chin so I need something that will help sooth it and calm the redness. These products are some of the miracle products that I use once a week to help so I thought I would share them with you.
After a Lush bath when I am all nice and clean and relaxed, I slip into my pyjamas, apply a hair mask and tie my hair out my face and prepare to be pampered. I normally double cleanse when I intend to host a pamper session on my face and recently I have been using the Soap and Glory Peaches & Cream Deep Cleansing Milk (£8) and removing with a damp face cloth. This is so soft and creamy, it's like liquid velvet on your skin. It removes makeup easily (maybe not waterproof mascara) and starts the process of leaving soft skin behind.
I then go straight in with the Peter Thomas Roth Firm X Firming Gel (£32.25), I use a 10p size amount of this and buff into my cleansed skin for a good 5 minutes or so to give me a mini facial as well as removing dead skin. This is quite slimy and you feel the dead skin come away from your face which isn't the best feeling in the world but trust me, your skin will thank you afterwards. I then wash off, being careful not to get any in my eyes, with lukewarm water until all has been removed. This product is fab, it gets to work instantly and you really do notice a difference afterwards. I am wary of this round my nostrils as the skin is very delicate and if over cleansed then it starts to get quite dry and flaky, that may not be the same with everyone but it happens to me so I only go over this area once with the gel without being too harsh.
Once removed, I pat dry my face and apply a decent amount of Quick Fix Facial Purifying Charcoal Mask (£4.99). This is a great mask. After my first use, I noticed my blackheads on my nose had faded really well and my skin looked clearer. I don't believe any product when it says it removes blackheads etc but to fade them as well as this mask did, I'm in! We have all heard of active charcoal by now but for those who haven't, it is rich in minerals, helps clear pores and frees skin of toxins and impurities. This mask also has dragon fruit which is a great source of vitamin C, this helps to moisturise and promote healthy skin. As if that's not enough, it contains cinnamon extract which is a reputed antiseptic which helps clarify skin. I leave this on for around 15 minutes so its fully dried, I then use a face sponge to gently remove.
After I remove this mask, I like to pat dry before applying the Sanctuary 5 minute Peel Off-Mask (£10). I generously apply this, leave on for 5 – 10 minutes and then peel off. Its as simple as that! I really like this mask and I love using it after a purifying mask as I feel it gets the remaining dirt etc from your skin. I love how healthy my skin looks after using this too, it literally glows and I`m all about that glow. I normally have to rinse my face again as there is normally a little bit of the mask left over.
While I let my skin return to its normal PH (around 30 minutes or so), I like to scrub my lips using Lush Mint Julips Lip Scrub (£5.50). I really take my time with this, so I work in a small amount and rub gently for 5 minutes. I wash off and then do it again as my lips are quite sturdy and need a second helping. I then apply some Nivea Lip Butter (£2.25) as it's the best possible lip product on the market and it seeps in beautifully to keep my lips hydrated and plump.
Once the 30 minutes is up, I apply Peter Thomas Roth Glycolic Acid 10% Toning Complex (£25) using a cotton pad all over my face, once in an upward motion and then again in a downward motion making sure to avoid the eyes and mouth. I have been using this for a while and I have a review which you can find here but this is amazing as it breaths new life into dull and congested skin without being too harsh. I did notice that my skin was becoming very dry with this but I figured out I wasn't using it properly and have stuck to using it once a week which has been great. I adore using this as it leaves my skin feeling luminous and ultra soft.
Once this has dried in, I apply a pea sized amount of Nivea Crème (95p) all over my face to lock everything in and to give me instant hydration. If I have a breakout, I apply a small amount of Mario Badescu Drying Lotion (£16) with a cotton bud by dotting over the blemishes to dry them out. It is really important that you do not shake the bottle as you do not want the mixture to combine, it is supposed to stay separate so the cotton bud becomes submerged in both parts in equal measures.
Once I have taken care of my face, I normally chill out with some moisturising socks, a glass of low alcohol wine and a book which has been accountancy material recently due to exams but now it is going to be all kinds now that I am free!!
That's what I have been doing for a few months now once per week and I love it. I really look forward to doing it and make sure I set enough time by to be thorough. My skin is very soft, lost its dullness and my blackheads have considerably reduced from my nose which is great.
What would you recommend for the ultimate pamper night?

Integrated Technologies for Minerals Exploration, Pilot Project for Nickel Ore DepositsProject ID: BRPR950052
Finanziato nell'ambito di:
Integrated Technologies for Minerals Exploration, Pilot Project for Nickel Ore Deposits
Dettagli del progetto
Costo totale:Non disponibile
Contributo UE:Non disponibile
Coordinato in:Finland
Argomento (i):0103 - Rational management of raw materials
Meccanismo di finanziamento:CSC - Cost-sharing contracts
BE95-1117 Integrated technologies for Minerals Exploration, Pilot Project for Nicke Ore Deposits
Nickel is a strategic metal for the European industry and its availability is a key factor for the industrial competitiveness and economic growth. EU is, however, a net importer of nickel metal and raw materials. The objective of the proposed project is to contribute to the securing of the availability of nickel raw materials for the metal industries in EU by developing integrated mineral exploration technologies to enhance the success potential in the exploration of sulphide and laterite nickel deposits. The project will open promising outlooks also into mineral exploration in general.
The objectives will be met by developing both novel geological, geophysical and information technology tools for mineral exploration. Development of new models for nickel ore deposits and their host formations is based on detailed mineralogical studies, isotope geochemistry, and on geochemical and metallogenic modelling. Improvement of the efficiency of geophysical exploration methods from regional to deposit scale is achieved by enhancing both instrumentation and software. An innovative software system for integrated knowledge based analysis of multidisciplinary geodata will be created using state-of-the-art GIS technology, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) applications and Artificial Intelligence approach.
The work content of the project is divided into the following six Work Packages. Modelling of sulphide and laterite nickel ore deposits; development of geophysical technology; image processing and pattern recognition; design and development of Geoscientific Information System (GEOSIS); Knowledge Based System; final integration.
Through completion of its objectives, the project will result in a number of software and instrumentation prototypes, and in methodological innovations. These are anticipated to serve as new integrated tools for active cooperation of experts with different backgrounds for the detection of nickel and other base metal ore deposits.
The most important of the benefits of the project is in directing exploration to the most promising areas. This will greatly enhance the potential, and essentially lower the cost, of discovering technically and
economically viable sulphide and laterite nickel deposits. Other benefits include the training and education of technical personnel in, and liaisons between, industrial companies and research organisations within EU.
The consortium is formed by joining forces of the nickel raw materials producers in EU: Outokumpu M etals & Resources Oy (Finland) and LARCO (Greece); together with computer science expert AUTOMA (Italy), industrial SME; and instrumentation company IRIS Instruments (France), industrial SME; and research organisations: the National Geological Surveys of France (BRGM), Greece (IGME) and Finland (GSF); and computer science institute National Centre for Scientific Research NCSR (Greece).

Discussion in 'CycloDS' started by HolmesNumba187, Jun 3, 2008.
any help?
Edit: It seems they're out of stock, but so are all the other sites that sell this. Guess you'll just have to be a man and wait it out.
thanks man guess ill wait
dealwoot.com sells them, they are an official retailer of the Cyclo DS. They just shipped my DSTT yesterday!
Dealwoot is also out of stock.
I'd wait until RealHotStuff comes back.
We have them in stock at www.modchipcentral.com
who's ever bought from modchipcentral? would like to know if it's a good place...
I obught mine at jandaman.com, but I remember seeing US-only places with cheaper prices.
Couldn't find it on GBAtemp's list of flash card dealers, and it looks like a new site. But it's Canadian and you're in the U.S. so I'd pass.
I've heard realhotstuff will be getting some in stock soon, and apparently, they aren't the only one suffering from supply problems. But, as far as price and support go, you won't find any better than RHS. I've purchased 2 more Cyclos from them in the last couple of months for $51 each, and I got them in 3 days with standard shipping. Great website!
You can read reviews of modchipcentral here:
I have bought from ModchipCentral.
They are extremely fast, no hold ups, and cheaper price than other stores.
Got my Cyclo to me within 3 days!
Absolutely remarkable!
Best place to buy modchips and flashcarts in Canada, Period.
Will definatly buy from them again!
+1 they have really fast shipping.
I bought my CycloDS from Realhotstuff, good price and fast shipping, I got it two days after I ordered all the way to California, with the cheapest shipping method they got. It was sometime ago, and they added more shipping methods now.
I bought two CycloDS carts at two different times from ModChipCentral, both times it came really fast. and its from CANADA! I live in New york and I believe it came in a few days, cant remember but it was fast. Definately recommend them, and they have it in stock NAO!
white AND black cyclos are back in stock at RHS... get em while they last!
make sure to use couponcode SAVE5 to save 5% off your order!
I agree with RHS, they're fantastic.

You know when you're in a bar listening to a guy tell hilarious stories, but then he has one too many pints and everything gets indescribably sad all of a sudden? Idle's chronicle of his 2003?04 bus tour across America is kinda like that. The Monty Python vet will be riffing happily along, and then out of nowhere he tells of his father's death — "Christmas by the fireside, the mother weeping, always weeping" — and no amount of pageantry can bring the laffs back. This isn't a bad thing, it's just jarring, and a little maudlin at times. Perhaps a note on the cover would have helped: "Warning! The mirth ahead is tempered by private, personal moments and the occasional beautiful description of the American countryside. Do not be alarmed!"

Anna Kate's Birthday
Posted by elisa at 6:52 AM 5 comments
Sunday, April 12, 2009
God is good!
More than a few times this weekend, I've caught myself just looking around at Tyler, Anna Kate, our new home, the amazing family and friends who have helped hold us steady and ease our burden through this process, and one thing was so incredibly obvious to me. My life is so fleeting and precious. I am amazed at my Jesus who loves me so well, and fills my life with more blessings than I can even begin to even see, much less thank Him for. On this Easter Sunday, it is even more apparent that I am so imperfect, and as our pastor said today, in desperate need of the healing, life-altering, challenging power of the gospel each day. Without it, my fleeting life, even with all the precious gifts I've been given is meaningless. All the blessings He bestows are simply little glimpses into the vastness that is His love for me. Wow...I think I need to learn to rest in that. Tyler gave me the new Michael W. Smith worship dvd (which, btw, I highly recommend), and there's a precious song at the end that says, "He's not like us, He loves you just because." I think at times like the past week, when I get so busy and forget to thank Him and take refuge in His love, I need reminders that He's there...and there's nothing I can do to make Him love me any more than He does right now. Jesus came to secure that eternal life for us by living a perfect life, taking my sin and yours on Himself, in fact, as Paul says, He became sin for us, and dying a horrific death on the cross. Praise the Lord, it doesn't end there...Another one of my favorite songs right now says, "The enemy has been defeated! DEATH COULDN'T HOLD YOU DOWN!!!" I am thankful that I serve a just, merciful, grace-lavishing God who has conquered death and has chosen to make my heart His home.
We were so blessed to have family in our new home for Anna Kate's birthday, you're all going to gasp when I say this, but I didn't take one single picture. I was THRILLED to find out that Tyler's extremely talented and budding professional photographer cousin, Morgan, was not only coming, but bringing her brand new fat-daddy Canon to the party! Bless her heart, she spent the whole party clicking away, but I was so thankful she did. I didn't worry one time about picking up the camera and trying to take pictures. Morgan, just know that you were a blessing to me, and I absolutely cannot wait to see the pictures!!! :) A wonderful friend from church, Emily, made Anna Kate's cake, and it was THE BEST cake EVER!!!! REALLY...if you need a cake for any occassion, email me, and I'll get you her info. She is fabulous...Easter was awesome. I spent a lot of the worship service in tears, amazed at the love my Savior has for me (good thing I wasn't on the stage today, huh?) and we spent the afternoon with family eating and hanging out! It's been a great weekend, and I am SO looking forward to getting settled even more and resting a bit this week!
Last picture at the condo...kinda sad, huh?
Everyone looks like they've been beaten with a 2X4...that's moving for ya! :)
Out on the porch!
Anna Kate's new room!!! She's done remarkably well...she's sleeping like a champ despite the new surroundings!
Family Easter picture in front of our new home!
Mom, chewing on books is COMPLETELY normal at my age. Come on!
Playing with her new dance tower Uncle Ben & Aunt Lacy gave her. I LOVE IT. It says, "Shake it, baby!"
Looking at my Easter basket!
You'll never catch me!

Congratulations, Grandad!
Since I haven't had much time to take pics of the new house, I thought we'd update with a post to congratulate Grandad. He's this year's recipient of the Willis Award, which is the highest honor awarded by the Southern Home Furnishings Association. It's given each year to the person "who contributes most unselfishly to the industry, to the community and to God." We definitely think the committee made the right decision...Grandad is such a blessing to our family, and Anna Kate is blessed to have him in her life! Congratulations! We love you!

Special Agent Daniel Vartanian has sworn to find the perpetrator of multiple killings that mimic a 13-year-old murder linked to a collection of photographs that belonged to his brother, Simon, the ruthless serial killer who met his demise in DIE FOR ME. Daniel is certain that someone even more depraved than his brother committed these crimes, and he's determined to bring the current murderer to justice and solve the mysterious crime from years ago.
With only a handful of images as a lead, Daniel's search will lead him back through the dark past of his own family, and into the realm of a mind more sinister than he could ever imagine. But his quest will also draw him to Alex Fallon, a beautiful nurse whose troubled past reflects his own. As Daniel becomes attached to Alex, he discovers that she is also the object of the obsessed murderer. Soon, he will not only be racing to discover the identity of this macabre criminal, but also to save the life of the woman he has begun to love.

After a decade of population decline, the industrialized Northeast and Midwest have experienced modest gains since 1985, but 87 percent of all the nation's growth in the 1980's has been in the South and West, the Census Bureau said today.
The nation's population as a whole has grown by an estimated 19.3 million people from 1980 to 1988, to a total of 245.8 million, the bureau's annual report of state population estimates showed. Of that, 16.8 million was in the states of the South and West.
Among the fastest growing states, the report said, were Arizona with a 28.4 percent increase since 1980, California with a 19.6 percent increase, Florida with a 26 percent increase, and Nevada, with a 31.7 percent increase.
The report this year covers state population changes in 1987 and 1988, as well as selected figures showing changes since 1980.
In the Northeast, the population has grown by 1.5 percent in the past three years, which is an annual rate in the region that is faster than any year since 1970.Continue reading the main story
Don Starsinic, a Census Bureau demographer, predicted that the New York metropolitan area, which now has a population of 18,120,200, is likely to increase to 18,200,000 by the end of the decade, bringing it back to its population of 1970.
But Mr. Starsinic added, ''It will be more concentrated in the areas outside New York City, although the city will recoup some of its loss.'' For census purposes, the New York metropolitan region stretches from Ocean County, N.J., on the south to Orange County, N.Y., on the northwest, Danbury, Conn., on the northeast and Suffolk County, L.I., on the east.
The fastest-growing areas in the metropolitan region continue to be the outer counties.
In terms of actual population numbers, California's growth of 4.6 million since 1980 was greatest. The state's total now is 28.3 million.
The Los Angeles metropolitan area grew by 2.3 million people from 1980 to 1988 to a total of 13.8 million, or almost half the state's population, Florida grew fastest in the decade, among states with populations of more than 5 million, climbing 2.6 million to a total of 12.3 million.
If California and Florida were the biggest gainers for the decade, the three biggest losers were Iowa, West Virginia and Wyoming, due to slumps in the farm and energy economies.

The Income focus area concentrates on supports that help people grow lives of independence and financial stability. Along with the struggles experienced by the profound number of people living in poverty in the region, the daily reality for people living on the margins is also bleak. Many thousands are one unexpected expense away from financial disaster - unable to afford rent, facing eviction and homelessness.
82,608 people helped through United Way investments
23 Funded Programs and Partnerships
Every funded program reports the impact that programs have on clients. Here are some examples:
- Make Tax Time Pay completed 4,511 tax returns for low income households free of charge.
- Leduc & District Food Bank helped 967 families by distributing a total of 1,988 food hampers.
- Math Literacy Program helped 26 adults increase their salaries and 31 adults get accepted into post-secondary programs.
How we do it.
United Way invests in our region's success by providing funding where the need is greatest. Our strategy is 100% local, shaped specifically for the Alberta Capital Region and impacts families right here in our community.
Employment Skills & Training
People living in low-income are the most vulnerable to employment loss, unemployment and underemployment. They face multiple barriers to finding and retaining employment, including lack of education and job skills, lack of qualifications, high costs of childcare, lack of transportation, and lack of confidence.
Financial Literacy Training
Families living in low-incomes often struggle to manage finances, have fewer assets, if any, and are at an increased risk for acquiring more debt to make end meets. By helping improve money management skills and providing convenient access to financial support programs, families are able to get on track and plan for a better future.
Quality & Secure Housing
Attaining and maintaining quality, safe and affordable housing is a challenge for many people living in poverty. Shelter is by far the biggest expense for people living with low-income, with some people spending 30% or more of their total household income on housing costs. Individuals and families thrive when they have a stable and safe home.
Healthy & Affordable Food
Low-income households often have to choose between paying rent, paying bills or buying food. Lack of adequate food can have negative effects on the physical, social, emotional and cognitive development of an individual. Malnutrition can negatively impact employee's productivity and children's ability to concentrate and learn.

"Powerful", "Compelling", "A story well worth writing" – this is what people are saying about this honest, and sometimes brutal, true story of one man's struggle growing up in the shadow of childhood sexual abuse. From his difficulties growing up, to his drug addiction, failed relationships, and struggles with parenthood, the author takes us through the ups and downs of a life spent in the shadows, trying to make sense of the events that formed the basis of his being. Sometimes tragic, sometimes hopeful, but never sugar coated, My Father's Prostitute – Story of a Stolen Childhood takes the reader on an emotional ride which reminds us that the human spirit is more powerful than the demons that haunt us.

If you hear the subtle roar in the background, it is indeed because Gryson handbags have become a huge success. The Gryson Olivia Handbag is the perfect go-to-bag, sporting supple grained leather with cool braided leather handles. This handbag manifests in simple and subdued style, showing that casual can also be chic. Gold metal hardware accents the gray leather. Always practical, there is the option of two flat leather shoulder straps or you can use the textured braided handles. A zipped front pocket adds ease of accessibility. On the inside, supple suede lining is found along with both a zip and patch pocket. In my opinion, this is one of the top on the go bags. Measurements are 18″x 9″x 8″.

WEST GOSHEN >> Children visiting the Community of Volunteers in Medicine health care center are enjoying bilingual coloring books and crayons thanks to the creative efforts of some Downingtown students in the Spanish program.
Lionville Middle School teacher Maria Gonzalez Tucker had her seventh- and eighth-grade students in her "level two" Spanish classes donate bilingual coloring books they created during the 2015-16 school year to Community of Volunteers in Medicine (CVIM).
"CVIM provides dental care to approximately 800 children annually with the majority speaking Spanish," Tucker said. "These children often do not have the financial resources to even buy coloring books or crayons. My students wanted them to have something fun and unique to play with while visiting the clinic."
CVIM provides primary medical and dental care and health education to people who live or work in Chester County who lack access to insurance. As a nonprofit supported 100 percent through philanthropy, CVIM is committed to providing medical and dental care in their community, they said. Last fiscal year, CVIM provided more than 35,000 free patient visits.
Tucker had learned about CVIM's efforts to assist Chester County's Spanish communities and felt her students in the Downingtown Area School District could help as well. As a final school project, she had her students write stories in Spanish about their own childhood, then translate them back into English. The students added colorful images to their text to create their bilingual coloring book. The coloring books and boxes of new crayons were donated to CVIM in June.
"My student's hard work was not just for a grade, it was to create a gift," Tucker said, "a very special gift that will be given to the Spanish-speaking children who visit CVIM. In a very real way, my students are advocating literacy, bilingual literacy, and meeting a real need, right here in Chester County."
In 1996, cognizant of the burden of hospital emergency room visits for non-emergency problems from uninsured individuals, the Paoli Memorial Hospital Foundation and the Paoli Hospital Women's Auxiliary set aside funds to serve as venture capital for the development of CVIM, according to its website. The center opened its doors to patients needing free medical and dental care in 1998. CVIM currently maintains seven dental operatories, 10 medical exam rooms and the Moran Family Conference Center for patient education and wellness programs. CVIM's operating budget continues to be supported entirely by donations and volunteer services.
"The children we serve at Community Volunteers in Medicine have so little, it is such a joy to be able to give them something so special," said Alberta Landis, vice president of Dental Services at CVIM. "We are very proud to be able to present a bilingual coloring book as a unique gift they can take home. Their smiles warm all of our hearts."

#Vježba #Nato
Military exercise Montenegro 2016 is of great significance because it demonstrates without a doubt that Montenegro's capacities are ready to organize similar NATO activities in the future as well, said NATO Deputy Assistant Secretary General John Manza.
Head of Directorate for NATO and EU Alma Adrović met Manza today. He is visiting Podgorica for military exercise Montenegro 2016.
As it was stated in the Ministry of Defense, Adrović said she was pleased that Montenegro got an opportunity to host this very important NATO exercise.
"This is yet another demonstration of our country's readiness to participate in all joint activities with NATO", Adrović said.
She said that, based on the pace of ratification so far, it can be expected that the process is finalized by spring next year.
Manza expressed gratitude to Montenegrin institutions for the logistics provided during the organization of this very complex exercise.
"He said that the exercise is of great significance because it demonstrates without a doubt that Montenegro's capacities are ready to organize similar NATO activities in the future as well", the statement reads.
Manza said he expects Montenegro to take part in the exercise next year as full fledged member of NATO.
"He used the opportunity to positively review Army of Montenegro and its participation in international operations, including NATO mission in Afghanistan", the statement reads.
The meeting was attended by Head of Department for military cooperation in Army of Montenegro, lieutenant Ilija Daković, representative of NATO Department for civic planning, Stefano Santamato, as well as advisor in Directorate for NATO and EU, Nikola Radunović.

It has been made available in their technical library here.
The summary of recommendations in the report is:
- The Department considers that appropriate masters level qualifications should generally required for engineers undertaking complex specialist structural or geotechnical work, in combination with appropriate experience.
- The Department supports IPENZ's position that assessment of overseas engineering qualifications should be undertaken by the registration authority.
- The Department recommends that set programmes of supervised training and graduate assessment are implemented to ensure the engineer meets the expert level of competence for independent practice in the design of large complex building structures prior to registration as a CPEng. The Department will work with IPENZ to be assured that appropriate oversight and training for new graduates is provided.
- The Department is strongly of the view that scopes of practice should be developed as the basis for assessing engineering competence.
- The CPEng register should display the practitioner's discipline and practice area/specialist skills, or scopes of practices when they are developed, to assist the public, building owners and building consent authorities to identify the areas in which engineers are competent to practice.
- It is recommended that the registration authority consider some form of competence declaration at least every two years as part of the renewal of licence between the formal 5-6 year competence assessments.
- The Department intends to consider the issues related to the relative roles of the Council and IPENZ as part of its review of occupational regulation in the building and construction sector. In the interim, it recommends that IPENZ move to more clearly separate its role as a professional body from its role as a registration authority.
- The Department supports IPENZ's view that in general CPEng should be required for engineers practicing in the building and construction sector, and that Building Consent Authorities should inform the registration authority when a practitioner consistently produces sub-standard consent applications which may reflect on competence.
