I am a multi-lingual world traveler and I decided to make Medellín my home because it is one of the friendliest, comfortable and overall highest quality cities I've ever experienced. Some of my passions include foreign languages, health and fitness, architecture and design, cooking, wine and international travel. I almost always choose travel destinations where the primary language is NOT English. I am fluent in Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian and English. I love meeting interesting people from other countries and look forward to sharing my beautiful one-of-a-kind Casa del Reloj with respectful, high-quality guests of all nationalities. When traveling, I want to be comfortable and want things to work. I've taken painstaking efforts to provide such a destination. My motto in life is simple: "Life is short and everything comes down to family, friends and memories. So enjoy it RESPECTFULLY and try to have as few regrets as possible when it's all said and done."
John-Paul purchased this apartment in 2014
The most visually striking, comfortable, peaceful short-term rental destination in the absolute best location in El Poblado, Medellin.
Most comfortable, ergonomic furniture anywhere, fastest internet, keyless door entry, just steps from best restaurants, cafes and boutiques in Medellin.
Me hospede en casa de reloj en el apartamento jardín en compañía de mi esposo, mi mejor amiga y su esposo, la experiencia fue única, dentro del lugar nos sentíamos como fuera de la ciudad, la decoración y lo tranquilo lo del lugar nos daba la sensación de estar en una casa de campo, pero en un momento salíamos y estábamos en una zona llena de ofertas gastronómicas deliciosas, lugares para pasar rico, escuchar buena música y tomar buenos tragos.
La casa es linda, muy bien dotada, no nos hizo falta nada, todo es muy cómodo, el internet en el lugar siempre funciono bien, la verdad este lugar tiene magia.
I liked the design of the apartment
Good location.
The problem was it was very noisy and the garden area in the middle of the apartment was open the the outside.
Suggestion to have a better walking surface across the gravel to the bedrooms.
Casa Reloj is a little slice of paradise I plan on returning to on any trip to Medellin. There are many reasons I was left feeling so awesome after staying here, but I will summarize, as I'm sure you have other things you want to do!
First, and most important, the people behind the property are amazing! As with literally everyone I met in Colombia, they are exceptionally friendly and helpful. Johanna communicated with me for months about the property. She was always prompt with replies, thorough in her information, and thoughtful in not just answering any question I had. I ran into a problem with my airline the night before check out, and Ivan? sat with me as I spoke with the airline, offering advice or translation when needed.
Beyond the people, the location of the property is more than you could possibly hope for. I was told by a few locals that Calle 35 is the best street in Medellin. You are literally surrounded by jungle, with a creak just down the street. Restaurants are everywhere, and almost all of them are high quality. Park Lleras is a few streets away, and offers a bit of centralized activity.
The house itself is well thought out. Each room is clean, modern, very well built and very functional. The bathrooms have a unique design, and the living room has large windows that fully open so you can listen to the frequent rain. The appliances are nice, work well, and easy to use. I stayed in the Jardin apartment, which has a garden in the center of the apartment. This is as beautiful as it sounds, and not only is it nice to look at, it's quite zen, as well. It frames your view from one of the bedrooms, and you have to walk through it to get to the other one. It is like a living, functioning piece of art that the entire apartment is built around.
Lastly, let's talk about money. Yes, the nightly rate is on the higher side for Medellin…. but…. that cost is not high relative to other modern, bustling cities. At roughly the same price you'd pay for a lower to mid range hotel in Los Angeles, New York or Amsterdam, you get a very large and luxurious space. I stayed in several other locations in Colombia, and saw a few spaces in Medellin. You get what you pay for. If you want a box to come home to sleep in, you may want to save your money. If you want a nice home base in one of the nicest neighborhoods in Medellin, this is the place you are looking for… without a doubt.
Pablo and I stayed at Casa del Reloj from September 21-26. The booking process was very easy and the communication before and during the visit was always prompt and courteous. The check-in process was fast and we found the Eden to be a perfect choice. It was quiet and we enjoyed the fully stocked kitchen as we had planned to cook many of our meals in the apartment.
The apartment itself was very private, beautiful, clean and comfortable. We appreciated the daily housekeeping. We had a problem with the WiFi the first day but the staff were very attentive and worked hard to get it resolved.
We really enjoyed the beautiful location and the easy access to parks and the main areas of Poblado. We always felt safe in the area, even at night.
We were originally scheduled to leave on the 25th but due to the Avianca pilot protests, a flight was cancelled and we needed to stay an extra day. Even though our place was booked that night, the staff worked with us and put us into a larger apartment at the same price for the night.
They also assisted us with transportation back to the airport.
Overall it was a great experience for us in Medellin and we would highly recommend staying at Casa del Reloj.
This property was lovely. The two bedroom was very spacious and the interior garden provided a serene backdrop to the accommodation. The staff was VERY helpful and arranged tours, massages, and even food delivery! The modern combination locks on the doors were very easy to use and eliminated the need to worry about keys. The staff was also available to clean or provide linens when needed. The location was in the best area and it was convenient to walk to restaurants and shops. It was a very safe and green area. I'd definitely stay at Casa Del Reloj again. : )
Elegant rooms that are clean, well-maintained, with consistent & reliable services such as hot water & internet. The staff is very friendly and helpful. To top it off, Casa del Reloj is in a great neighborhood with plenty of restaurants and nightlife. I highly recommend Casa del Reloj!
|Cleaning Fee
IMPORTANT NOTE!! A CASH security deposit of $US 200 is due at time of CHECK-IN. The purpose of this deposit is to protect Casa del Reloj from damages or violation of house rules related to noise and/or smoking. In the absence of either damages or rules violation, 100% of the cash deposit will be refunded at time of check out or within maximum 7 days of check-out.

You do know at this point that a vacation is always enjoyable but at the same time, you know that packing can be a bit frustrating. Packing the wrong things can always ruin your trip because as much as possible, you would like to have all of your essentials with you. If in case you would like to pack just right, here is some advice that you need to remember:
Knowing the weather during your whole vacation will allow you to know exactly what you are going to pack.
Let us say that you are going somewhere cold. You already know that you need to pack the essential things that will help keep you warm and comfortable but is it going to be colder because of the rain? Perhaps some thunderstorms are expected after some time. Knowing what to expect will allow you to pack appropriately. You may get to know the proper weather through weather applications you may download on your gadgets.
Secure all of your gadgets.
There will be moments when you would need your gadgets during the course of your whole trip. You may want to go to the beach and you just need to take some pictures of the place that you will visit. You do not want to increase the chances of your gadgets getting wet and ruined in the process. What you can do instead is make sure that all of your gadgets will be secure and you do not have to worry about this anymore.
Money is vital.
When it comes to traveling, having cash with you is always necessary. You might think that you would not need it especially if you have planned all of your activities ahead of time but there will always be unforeseen situations wherein you would feel the need to have money with you so that you can purchase what you need. If in case you would need to have your money exchanged to a certain currency, you may do it in your local country first before you travel. Some countries do not exchange certain currencies. To be sure, having dollars is usually accepted in most parts of the world for exchanging.
Do not forget your toiletries.
You may be staying at a hotel for your vacation but this does not mean that you should forget about your toiletries. Remember that you will still feel cleaner and more hygienic if you have the products that you use at home. At the same time, you are not exactly sure if the free toiletries that some hotels and even inns give are good for your skin and hair. You do not want to have this problem so bring your own just to be safe.
Double check everything.
It is not enough that you have placed all the things that you think you need inside your bag. It is essential that you double check the items that you have. If you have a checklist, double check it. This way, you have no chance of forgetting anything.
What you pack may determine how good your vacation is going to be. You will remain in a better mood during your vacation if you have all the things you need.

Tiger Mountain - Talus Rocks
This is a lovely little hike in our favorite backyard state forest. Short enough for short legs, with the payoff of cool caves and boulders and options for exploration. It's easy to extend this trail to include other hikes, including the sneak view at the summit of Tiger Mountain, but today there was a time crunch and rain. Always with the rain this summer. It does keep everything looking so green and fresh though!
The trails in this area are usually super busy, but the Nook Trail to the Talus Rocks was a gorgeous green ghost town!
Once at the Talus Rocks, I took some time to wander around and climb and peek in all the little caves. The last time we were here we saw tiny bat eyes shining back at us when we peeked in with our flashlights. So cool!
No bats today, but I did find this guy...
If you take the kids, be sure everyone sticks with a buddy, it's easy to get lost in here. All the little nooks and crannies are great for exploring and pretending. But keep an eye on everyone!
On the way down I heard some amazing screeches and just happened to catch sight of a beautiful owl and her two juveniles, out hunting. I sat and watched for several minutes as they hung out and called to each other. It felt like such a special moment.
It was a great day for charging the nature batteries!

Press Release
"Close Call" with Big Rig Highlights Importance of Move Over Law during National Work Zone Awareness Week
Caltrans News Flash #164
Date: April 10, 2018
District: District 2
Contact: Chris Woodward
Phone: (530) 229-0511
Contact: Tamie McGowen
Phone: (916) 657-5060
REDDING – As construction season ramps up across the state, Caltrans recognizes National Work Zone Awareness Week (April 9-13) by reminding motorists how important it is to move over a lane when passing highway workers on the side of the highway.
The Move Over Law went into effect in 2007 and was amended two years later to include Caltrans workers. The law requires drivers approaching stationary emergency vehicles displaying flashing lights, including tow trucks and Caltrans vehicles, to move over a lane if safe to do so and slow down to a safe speed.
In this Caltrans News Flash, a highway crew experienced the importance of the Move Over law first hand as they were working on northbound Interstate 5, just north of the Tehama/Glenn County line. As a safety precaution, an attenuator truck, equipment designed to absorb the impact of a collision to limit damage and protect workers, was shielding the work truck from traffic when a big rig struck it. A Caltrans equipment operator who was driving the attenuator truck fortunately suffered only minor injuries and was able to return to work the next day.
In addition to the attenuator, Caltrans crews utilize many other safety measures in the field including signage, use of personal protective equipment, and barrier vehicles. This incident highlights how important it is for motorists to move over a lane when passing a work crew.
This video can also be viewed at: https://youtu.be/4CkM2X-BFIk
This Caltrans News Flash is the 164th in a series of videos highlighting Caltrans' activities that present the wide-ranging and critical work that Caltrans does to enhance California's economy and livability.To see more of these and other videos, search for #CaltransNewsFlash on Twitter or visit Caltrans News Flash on YouTube (http://bit.ly/1ez3LYz).

When you have to complete a commercial construction project, then, it will never be a short tour. One has to do a lot of planning about investment, time involvement and which contractor to choose. Even if you are not involved in construction process then you also have to be very cautious before taking every step to construct your building.
Everyone wants to get the best work to be completed at least possible cost. But, all this is impossible without taking the proper time for planning else you might have to undergo from the risk of crossing your budget. In every construction project, it is very important to have quality because your building can stand strong only if high quality supplies are being used. A strong and high quality structure is possible with experienced and qualifies man force who have the knowledge and skills to identify the right supplies and construct the building in an ideal way.
Nobody wants to spend their time and money on something which just looks beautiful, but, has no quality. You need to consider some important factors before you assign your project to some construction company. To believe in any construction company, you need to be sure that you are investing in a right project and the developers are following the business ethics.
While choosing a development company, you must consider their track record about the residential and commercial projects they have taken in the past. Many developers might not provide you the references about their customers they have dealt till now but, Neptune developers can do that on your request. If you are continuing your project with Neptune then, you will never get any Neptune developers complaints.
They always encourage the investing company to keep a track of their work and keep visiting the site during the construction process. They believe that this will help them remove flaws in the process and they can work as per the clients' requirements. Even after your project is completed and you have paid the complete amount to the builders, Neptune will provide at least a warrantee for one year to look after the finishing process of your building. They also provide you the platform to speak with the trade associations to keep your views easily.
You can go through the Neptune developers reviews online which will remove all your doubts and hesitation. They make sure that they have stored all the construction supplies properly so that there is no wastage. They have an efficient workforce, which has the knowledge about the proper care and the nature of the construction supplies. This helps the investing company to use their resources at least possible price.
Neptune can take good care of your project and the construction supplies. You can also continue with the maintenance process for the next one year of construction. This will never let you down and will get no Neptune Swarajya Complaints. You can also make a meeting with Neptune developers before you assign your project to them. This will help you get to know about them in detail and their working style too.

Whether you are having a career change, or looking for your first job straight out of school or university, finding the right job be a daunting prospect for many people. With so many different options to consider when choosing a career you can feel that there is added pressure to get it right first time. We have come up with a few simple, easy steps for you to consider when narrowing down your job search.
With thousands of careers choices to choose from it is difficult to narrow them down straight away and find one that you know you will love or be suited to best. One of the only ways to overcome this issue is to do as much research as possible. Although this may seem like an obvious thing to do when narrowing down your search, this small and simple task will help a lot with making the daunting process of searching for a job a lot easier.
Firstly, narrow down your search with a list of jobs that you would initially consider, read over their job descriptions and list the ones that you feel not only suit your experience but your qualifications and most importantly your personality. When doing this you may even come across careers you had never originally considered, don't panic if this is the case its normal there will always be jobs you wont have considered or even thought about before you begin your search.
Now that you have narrowed down your search with a list of prospective jobs you now need to delve further into the jobs descriptions, and match them to your expectations. This is the time when you need to make realistic choices, such as; do your qualifications match what they need? Does the job role match any expectations you may have – if you are looking for a typical 9-5 job don't choose a career where you will have targets and deadlines to meet or a job that doesn't necessarily end at your desk at 5 o'clock. Does the job role suit your personality? There is no point in choosing a sales job that requires you to be confident and extrovert if you are introvert in character.
Once you have narrowed down your options for a career the final step will be making a decision, the chances are you will come across numerous jobs that you are interested in pursuing, but it is all about making the decision that is right for you at the time. Although this can be a daunting prospect and ideally you would like to make right decision first time round, you can always change your mind. There are endless career options for people to consider many of which will be suited to yourself.

With the continued growth in the numbers of nurse practitioners and certified nurse-midwives, more and more women will receive prenatal care from advanced practice nurses. The purpose of this research was to assess the routine screening practices of advance practice nurses providing prenatal care and to compare those practices with current guidelines. The study focused on five areas of prenatal screening: bacterial vaginosis, group B streptococcus, gestational diabetes, maternal serum markers, and fetal movement monitoring. The interaction model of client health behavior by Cheryl Cox, specifically professional-technical competencies, part of the client-professional element of the model, provided the theoretical framework for this study.
The sample was obtained :from two major nursing organizations involved in prenatal care: the National Association of Nurse Practitioners in Women's Health and the American College of Nurse-Midwives. A random sample of250 members from each organization was sent a postcard explaining the study and directing them to the online survey.
In four out of five screening areas, there was no significant difference in the screening practices of NPs and CNMs. Bacterial vaginosis was the only screening with a significant difference. There was inconsistency with what the advanced practice nurses state they do and current guidelines with respect to screening for group B streptococcus and maternal serum markers.

LGBT Laud Anti-discrimination Law
The Metropolitan Community (MCC) Church of Metro Baguio led by pastor Myke Sotero lauded the passing of the anti-discrimination law in the city. Sotero said the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) community in the city has long been advocating the passage of the law. "We welcome its passage and celebrate the long fought struggle against all forms of discrimination especially on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity," said Sotero. The local law prohibits discrimination and enforces equality and espouses equal protection of the law regardless of religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation and gender identity, health status, Disability, and age.

The episode starts with Ji Wook supposing that Hyun Soo's alibi is just based on the pictures he saw on the board in the bar, the suspicion he is the murderer going stronger. Then they run into each other and Ji Wook fakes smiles and makes him go back to drink with him, finding the rest of his law firm completely drunk and past out. His face is so embarrassed and resigned, because it seems that scene is becoming a regular thing.
They drink together and Ji Wook tries to pose questions to get "closer," but the murderer isn't that dumb to fall in his trap. And then the rest of the squad wake up, wanting to keep drinking and playing the truth game. I love those special little muffins.
The next morning is hangover morning, and someone enters to give Bong Hee some water, but she keeps sleeping. Then someone enters again with medicine, but I'm pretty sure it's not the same person, the former had a watch on his wrist. The latter is Chief Bang, and Bong Hee upon seeing him, shows her surprise and disappointment, hurting him again. Turns out, Ji Wook asked Chief Bang to take the medicine for Bong Hee. He also asks him to do a normal check up on Hyun Soo, but does not explain why, not even to Bong Hee who happens to eavesdrop the conversation.
Some snippets of the truth game are revealed, how Chief Bang regrets quitting his job, and how Bong Hee is so proud and comforted for having won the case. To both of them, Ji Wook tries to do something about it, so he promises to compensate Chief Bang and hides the possibility of Hyun Soo being the real murder from Bong Hee.
Yoo Jung is in charge to prosecute the chef's sister, and when they run into Ji Wook and Bong Hee, he asks her to tell him more about the crime scene and what really happened, but she refuses and walks away.
Hyun Soo is happily walking around after having punished a bad guy, he walks past a young girl who disappears. I figure she was either a young sister or the girl he loved and she was raped and killed, that's why he kills rapists now.
Hyun Soo also recalls Bong Hee asking why the murderer did that to her and Hee Joon. In his mind, he explains it was because she saw something she shouldn't, and Hee Joon was there when he shouldn't have. Then he realised she didn't recognise him, but he's stayed around. He thinks that for as long as she doesn't recognise him, he'll be so good to her.
Bong Hee receives a call from Hyun Soo, so Ji Wook sticks by her side to listen to their conversation. Yoo Jung watches them with teary eyes and Prosecutor Na finds her like that, getting disappointed. But being the nasty girl she is, when she sees Bong Hee, she walks by bumping into her.
How mature.
When Bong Hee and Ji Wook are leaving, they run into District Attorney Jang. Obviously she is scared, but she will step in, yet Ji Wook stops her and goes first. She wants to take him with her, but he stays to threaten the older man to never touch Bong Hee again. Obviously, she's angry that he butted in and asks him to never do that again. I love her so much when she acts like this.
She keeps the strong front until she's alone, where she lets herself show the hard time she's going through. Ji Wook watches her from afar.
Eun Hyuk puppy has been trying all day to get the others to join him for a few drinks, even having some cake, but hangover as they are, they refuse. So the puppy goes alone and nooooo, it was his birthday, he lights up the candles for himself. My heart aches. There is someone who seems to remember: Yoo Jung. She stops, coincidentally, by to wish him a happy birthday, even give him a present but he doesn't give in. She asks him if he really hates her and he says he does. The truth game though reveals that although he hates her so much, he can't really hate her. Aw, the poor puppy.
Ji Wook does remember it's Eun Hyuk's birthday and tries to send him a text, but he regrets and types again… and again… and again, until he bumps into Bong Hee, sending just a siot (ㅅ) which can be interpreted as sending and F, the beginning of a curse. Eun Hyuk just laughs at that.
At night, Hyun Soo meets with Go Chan Ho, the tall cute forensic guy, who is clearly scared of Hyun Soo. The real murderer yells and pins the other boy against the car, angry because he missed the footprint and button. He gives him a warning to finish what they started. Three have gone missing, four more to go… are they targeting a specific group of people? Chan Ho is obviously scared and I wonder how Hyun Soo got him into this.
Bong Hee looks like she's doing better, she says she's not in a one-side love, she's now just a fan and she's watching over Ji Wook. Eun Hyun says he relates and wants to help her, and for that they get really close when Ji Wook shows up at the balcony, making him jealous. Hahaha, clever puppy. Ji Wook is about to spray them with water, but Chief Bang's judging look stops him. I love Chief Bang.
Bong Hee and Eun Hyuk enter talking about how she'll meet Hyun Soo, so Ji Wook obviously tails her. The murderer is all nice, promising to keep buying her meals to thank her, when Ji Wook enters. She is angry he followed her, Hyun Soo is now aware Ji Wook suspects him. He's angry.
Then Bong Hee goes to her mom to rant about Ji Wook, how she makes her feel. Even I feel sorry for her and want to give her a hug. The cause of her heartache comes to see his mother, but the lady to stop him from seeing the weirdos inside, meets him outside. She recalls how when he was a kid he kept crying, unable to sleep, as she promised she'd never leave him. Poor traumatised baby.
Ji Wook keeps trying to figure out the motive behind Hyun Soo's crime, and as he thinks he recalls seeing Chan Ho's face in every trial, so he rushes out. The forensic denies knowing him and Ji Wook doesn't believe his excuse, so he tell him that he'll protect him if he does speak up, leaving his card with him. Chan Ho seems to really consider it.
Yoo Jung found the frame and tells Ji Wook to come if he wants to see it. He goes, but only for business. She shares her findings about the quote of punishing a man who raped an engaged girl. Oh, there's motive now.
Bong Hee gets a call from Chan Ho, saying he knows who bought her shoes and asking to meet. But Hyun Soo has tapped his phone and hears the conversation. Oh no, oh no.
Bong Hee calls Ji Wook, but he doesn't see the missed calls until later and when he sees the text message telling him where she'll meet Chan Ho, he runs to the park.
Bong Hee arrives, but she has a bad feeling and instead waits in the parking lot. Meanwhile, Chan Ho is pacing, waiting, scared. Or is it just me the one scared? Hyun Soo calls the forensic, looking for him, and he finds him! Oh no, oh no, don't kill the tall cute forensic guy!
Ji Wook arrives at the park, finding Bong Hee there. Obviously, he yells at her for being reckless, but she defends herself, saying she did wait instead of going there because she was scared, she wasn't as foolish as he accuses her of being.
They get back home and Ji Wook apologises. As Bong He lost her contact lenses, she gets closer to see if he's really sincere. Happy to see he is, she smiles but before she steps back, he grabs her by the neck and pushes her for a hug.
He hugs her tightly, closely, and when he pulls back (and gives my heart a break) he just stares intently in her eyes before he grabs her face and kisses.
Now I feel depressively single. But we aren't even halfway through the K-drama, so this isn't going to be rainbows and butterflies after that kiss. Oh boy, what type of problems are coming for them? How much is Bong Hee going to hurt after this?
Luckily, tomorrow new episodes come out! Whop whop!

What is the Insanity Defense?
A defense asserted by an accused in a criminal prosecution to avoid liability for the commission of a crime because, at the time of the crime, the person did not understand the nature or wrongfulness of the acts.
Dates back to Hammurabi's Code in 1772 BC which states that the government found mentally ill people to be
non-compos mentis
, meaning not mastery of mind and not guilty of criminal actions
The Criteria for Insanity in a Court of Law
M'Naghten Rule: the "right-wrong test" at the time the defendant committed the crime. There has to be a diagnosable syndrome to plead insane
The American Law Institute Standard: you did not understand the wrongfulness of your act, and even if you did understand what you were doing was wrong, you were not able to control your actions
Difficult to prove.
Ezra Pound, 1946
American poet charged with treason by the US government for his pro-Fascist broadcasts over the Italian radio during WWII, called Roosevelt, "that jew in the White House"
Found incompetent to stand in trial and was committed to St. Elizabeth's Hospital for 12 years
Significance: Many believe that Pound was not actually insane and that the US did not want to execute one of its most well known writers
Insanity is a legal term, not a psychological one
.85% of defendants use the insanity plea nationwide
The Insanity Defense is rarely used because it rarely works
The percentage of successful NGRI defense cases is .26% out of all criminal court trials
If someone successfully pleads temporary insanity only at the time of the crime, he/she can be sent free without any imprisonment
U.S. vs. Other Countries
In a study, the U.S. proved a higher rate of mental illness and a lower rate of treatment than the other 13 countries studied.
In other countries, there is less of a tradition of speaking one's mind, making many cases of mental illness unacknowledged. In contrast, in the U.S. mental illness is highly publicized.
The U.S. is also more likely to convict the mentally ill, having one of the highest incarceration rates. We have 5% of the world's population and 25% of the world's prisoners. 20% of inmates have serious mental health problems.
While the U.S. spends thirteen billion on mental health treatment, as much as other developed countries, access to healthcare for the mentally ill is limited.
U.S. Sense of Justice
In the United States, we often use justice interchangeably with equality, meaning equal treatment of people.
This mindset is reflected in the low success rate of the insanity plea, which partially ''exempts'' the mentally ill from customary sentences.
Not "all men are created equal"
Equal rights does not mean equal treatment

Defenders notify prosecutors that they plan to use the insanity defense. Make a dual-plea. Plea of NG and a plea of NGRI.
Defense lawyers and prosecutors each call their own psychiatrists to examine the defendant, however ultimately it is up to the jury to deem whether the patient is really insane
Defense lawyers must prove the defendant was mentally ill at the time of the crime

European Tour 2017
Happy People – Better Business
European Happiness at Work tour 2017
Happiness at work experts Alexander Kjerulf and Gea Peper will be visiting your country in 2017. You can help organising a Happy People – Better Business event in your area. In this post we provide you with more information about the workshop and the way you can participate.
About Happiness at work
The scientific evidence is overwhelming: Happy people work better with others, are more creative, fix problems instead of complaining about them, have more energy, are way more motivated and get sick less often than their less happy co-workers.
Happy people are more productive and contribute to a higher customer satisfaction with better company results. So it's easy: who doesn't want to be happy at work? The big question though is: what do we have to do to get a happy workplace?
The workshop
The workshop is an inspiring and 'high energy' event that gives you knowledge on happiness at work based on the latest research. It will also give you everything you need to start creating a happier and more productive workplace. In the workshop we introduce specific tools you can start using right away. We try several of those tools as part of the workshop. There are plenty of exercises where you can work based on your own circumstances and come up with ideas and plans for creating a better and happier workplace for yourself and your organization.
The facilitators, Alex and Gea, receive a 9 or higher (out of 10) from the participants who have been to this workshop.
Practical information
- It's a one-day workshop. We usually start at 9.30 and we wrap up around 16.30.
- The amount of participants that can join the workshop is between 40 and 100 (this of course depends on the size of the workshop-room and the costs for organizing this workshop.
- It's good to know the workshop is in English.
The facilitators
Gea Peper
In 2015, Gea founded her own company, The HappinessBureau that supports organizations to become (more) successful by increasing their employee's happiness. Gea organizes events, conducts workshops, presentations and training courses on
happiness at work and regularly writes articles on this topic in national and international magazines and is also a guest lecturer at The Hague University of Applied Sciences.
The HappinessBureau supports two websites about Happiness at Work, one of them in English. They are also the reseller of two serious games, one of them in English: Choose Happiness at Work.
Alexander Kjerulf
Alexander is the founder and Chief Happiness Officer of the Danish company Woohoo inc and one of the world's leading experts on happiness at work. He is an author and speaker, presenting and conducting workshops on happiness at work at businesses and conferences in over 35 countries.

5. Cost
LEDs for general use are not expensive, costing several cents per unit. For use in applications such as traffic signals, higher-brightness units are used, with resulting higher costs. Furthermore, as discussed above, green LEDs are much more expensive than red and amber ones: $.65 for green InGaN LEDs compared to $.20 for the AlInGaP red LEDs. Because of these cost differences, and the higher number of LEDs required for green and yellow signals, most LED traffic signal heads in place are red, with the remaining colors still using incandescent lamps.
Of course, since each signal head still likely uses at least several dozen LEDs, combined with a electrical system for powering the signal and an optical system for combining and focusing the light output, the cost of an LED signal head far exceeds the conventional $2.50-$3 cost for a replacement incandescent lamp. Assembly of LED signal heads or any other LED luminaire assembly is labor-intensive, requiring a great deal of soldering, assembly and quality assurance work. When first introduced, red LED signal heads cost $750; this cost was reduced to $350 by 1993, and to $230 in 1995. Now, yellow LED signal heads can be purchased for $145, while the red signal heads can be purchased for $110 (Haussler, 1997; Lundberg, 1997a; Stahl, 1997; Suozzo, 1998). In comparison, green signal heads cost between 2.5 and 5 times more than red ones (Lundberg, 1997b; Snel, 1997).
A number of electric utilities and public agencies offer or have offered financial incentives to municipalities that install LED traffic signals, including Pacific Gas and Electric, the Colorado Public Service Company, San Diego Gas and Electric, the Sacramento Municipal Utility District and Pacific Power and Portland General Electric (Vargas, 1994; Snel, 1996; Wyland, 1996; Deemer, 1997; Suozzo, 1998). This incentive often takes the form of rebates which partially cover the initial costs of purchasing the signals. Still, the high initial cost of LED traffic signal heads appears to be a significant barrier to wider use of this technology.
As discussed above, the operating costs of LED traffic signals are much less than that of corresponding conventional signals, largely because of reduced energy costs. Maintenance costs are also lower, largely because LEDs have much longer rated lives than the incandescent lamps used in traffic signals. LEDs are often reported to have lives of over 100,000 hours (Bierman, 1998b), in comparison to the 8000-hour life of an incandescent traffic signal lamp (Snel, 1996). When incorporated into traffic signal heads, the claimed life of the products may range from 5 to 30 years, with 10 years being the most common estimate (Delean, 1996; Miller, 1996; Pollack, 1996; Deemer, 1997; Haussler, 1997; Stahl, 1997; Kiely, 1998). This compares to the usual life of the incandescent signal lamp between 1 and 2 years (Vargas, 1994; Delean, 1996; Pollack, 1996; Deemer, 1997; Haussler, 1997; Stahl, 1997).
Few installations have existed long enough to independently verify these life estimates, so municipalities tend to be cautious when projecting the life of LED traffic signals. For example, Caltrans, the California state transportation agency, generally discounts potential savings due to lower maintenance costs because they perform regular maintenance at all intersections several times per year (Lundberg, 1997b). In addition, although operating lives of the LED signals might be many years, degradation in light output might shorten the useful life of the signal, if at some point its intensity is reduced sufficiently. One study by Caltrans showed that LED traffic signal intensity was reduced 27% lower than its initial intensity after 2 years (Wyand, 1996).
The variations in LED signal life estimates, and in the economic payback periods outlined in the previous section of this report all point to the fact that different jurisdictions use different assumptions in comparing costs.
Potential consequences
Different assumptions must be made to carefully calculate life-cycle costs, thus such costs are rarely considered when estimating the potential savings of LED traffic signal installations. Many claims of simple payback, for example, as well as claims of operating life, are inconsistent or simply outdated. In short, purchasers and specifiers of LED traffic signals appear to lack objective, comprehensive information required to make decisions.
Options and recommendations
A shift in thinking toward life-cycle costs, rather than strictly energy savings, or life comparisons, would improve the ability of specifiers to make informed decisions. In addition, however, technologies such as LEDs should be compared not only with the incandescent lamps currently used in conventional signals, but also with reduced-wattage incandescent lamps that might become a low-cost alternatives to LEDs due to reduced luminous intensity requirements. In areas with low electricity costs, life-cycle costs calculated for the implementation of LED traffic signals could perhaps be significantly closer to those calculated for signals with lower wattage incandescent lamps. Other technologies have been considered as alternatives to incandescent lamps in traffic signals, including cold-cathode fluorescent lamps, electroluminescent panels, and high frequency powered fluorescent lamps (Suozzo, 1998). Each of these potential options should be considered as the results of visibility-related research become available.
A progressive cost analysis of LED traffic signal costs by geographic region, with appropriate sensitivity analysis to correct for potentially inaccurate life and maintenance cost assumptions, should be performed, with comparisons to all viable and potential technologies. Such an analysis could provide better estimates of cost savings due to LED traffic signals, and also could guide future research by identifying those factors which are most sensitive to small changes. For example, if the life-cycle costs of LED traffic signals are not much different whether the operational life of LEDs in signals is 10,000 or 100,000 hours, then research on such characteristics might not be as critical as other factors.

Estonia's Karl Kruuda has made history by becoming the first non-Finn to win the Finnish Rally Championship in 59 years, thanks to a podium place on the Pirelli Rally in Tampere, driving a Ford Fiesta S2000.
Karl concentrated on just bringing his car to the finish and succeeded in his goal of turning the formbook on its head and winning one of the most specialised and fiercely contested rally championships in the world.
Finland is the spiritual home of rallying, having produced more world champions than any other country. Karl joins a long list of illustrious former Finnish championship winners, some of whom went on to become real legends in the sport, such as Hannu Mikkola and Marcus Gronholm.
Aged just 21, this championship victory is Kruuda's biggest achievement yet in rallying, having delivered on a stellar season to date to win the title by eight points.
"We made history here, and it feels great," said Kruuda, who was co-driven as always by Martin Järveoja. "I have to say that I love these roads especially because you have to drive as fast as you can in all conditions. I will probably do a few rallies in Finland also next year. But for now, I want to enjoy the moment. I'd like to thank all my supporters and partners for having made this achievement possible, especially my PrintSport team. Their backing has meant so much to me this year and I am very grateful to all of them. And of course, our season is a long way from being over yet..."
Karl is also contesting the WRC2 championship in 2014: the feeder series to the main World Rally Championship. With two scoring opportunities left to go for the Estonian, in Spain and Great Britain at the end of the year, he is still firmly in contention to add another title to his collection.
The Finnish Rally Championship season, held on snow and gravel events, has been a thrilling adventure from start to finish for Karl and Martin. The highlights have included one of the closest-ever finishes in the history of the championship, when they won the Turku Rally last month after finishing equal on time with one of their closest rivals, the final results being decided by the times on the first stage.
One man who knows plenty about what it means to win in Finland is Karl's manager Kim Vatanen, the son of 1981 world champion Ari Vatanen. "I've grown up in the Finnish rallying culture throughout my life, and Karl's achievement really can't be underestimated," said Kim, a partner in V&V Sports Management. "He's worked so hard and kept improving throughout the year. Karl thoroughly deserves this title, and as he doesn't even turn 22 until the final day of this year, I'm convinced we're still to see the best to come from him in the future."

Understanding why
In the recent article titled, "Blakeslee already in thick of it"(Sept. 3), The Tribune wisely provided readers with bill descriptions, votes, outcomes and, most importantly, Sam Blakeslee's rationale for each of his decisions. Reading how Blakeslee regarded each bill before him was essential for understanding his reasoning.
What if The Tribune offered this format as a regular feature on the voting of our state and federal representatives? Understanding the "why" is critical to developing voter awareness and understanding.
Too often, proposed legislation is assumed to be liberal or conservative without the public understanding the basis of the proposed legislation, the expenses it could incur or reduce and the long-term impact of implementation.

Goodbye to freedom
In Phil Dirkx's recent column, he states that Islam is a religion ("We've been down this path before," Sept. 3). That is not the whole truth. Islam is a political, societal, religious and legal entity whose aim is to establish a worldwide theocracy with Allah as the ruler.
Islam is a society with no separation between religion and the state and with Sharia as the law. This society would have no democracy, no free will and no freedom of expression. Forget freedom of speech and letters to the editor. Goodbye to Christianity and all other religions. Goodbye to freedom.

A few extremists
My left-leaning friends tell me that I am a racist (or a bigot) because I oppose the mosque at ground zero. They tell me that I shouldn't tar an entire religion because a few extremists flew airplanes into buildings on 9/11.
These same friends tell me they are more frightened of my Christian friends because a few of them (extremists) bombed an abortion clinic once or killed an abortion provider. How do they justify this double standard?

The real threat
Measure H shows how potentially disastrous the initiative process can be to functional governance. In developing the Prado Road plan over the past 20 years, our professional city planners and elected representatives have endlessly analyzed, questioned, evaluated, debated and ultimately formulated a detailed plan to manage growth in the southern end of the city.
The plan creates safe, efficient traffic circulation that both improves emergency response times (maximizing the survival chances of accident, fire and heart attack victims) and incorporates healthy amenities like well-designed bicycle paths and access to walking trails that encourage us to get out of our cars.
Six successive City Councils have exercised their collective judgment in endorsing the plan. Tax money has been spent facilitating improvements that are integral to the plan, including the well-loved Damon-Garcia Sports Fields.
And yet, a spurious campaign of disconnected ideas and misinformation has brought us Measure H: a dead stop, forever without recourse, to a publicly crafted, multi-faceted vision years in the making. Measure H supporters tout the preposterous notion that Prado Road going past the sports fields threatens children. The absurdity leaves one speechless.
Measure H is the real threat. Support your unanimous City Council members and vote "no" on Measure H.

Dog-centered events
I feel sorry for people who live in big cities and miss out on charming, small-town celebrations such as our flag dedication ceremony on Aug. 21 at the Vineyard Dog Park in Templeton.
The Templeton American Legion Post 220 led the ceremony with an invocation, a reading of the timeless poem by Wilbur Nesbit, "Your flag and my flag," and a recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance.
The Honor Guard raised the flag on our beautiful new flag pole, installed by our good friend Nick Pokrajac.
The Joyful Three sang "America the beautiful" and an animated rendition of "That Doggie in the Window" — a real crowd pleaser. County Parks Director Curtis Black commended park volunteers for more than 1,300 volunteer hours to the dog park.
We have two upcoming small-town celebrations: Dog Splash Days Friday through Sunday in Templeton and the 10th annual Atascadero Wiener Dog Races on Oct. 9. Don't miss this slice of Americana in your own backyard.

Parks-4-Pups president

Our daily roundup of retirement news your clients may be thinking about.
1 dividend stock for retirees to buy
Buying stock in technology companies may not be a good option for retirement investors, according to this article on Motley Fool. After all, retirees need to minimize their risk exposure to secure their retirement savings, and technology is a volatile industry. However, retirees are advised to consider investing in Microsoft because as a megacap company with stable operations, the technology firm pays strong dividends, enabling its investors to get solid income while their purchasing power is protected. Motley Fool
Millennials feel guilty about this common financial decisionbut they shouldnt
Although millennial workers are concerned that they are not saving enough for retirement as they pay off their student loans and other debts, the article says they are doing just fine. Younger workers started saving earlier and setting aside more money compared with their older counterparts, according to a study by Transamerica. Millennial workers need to allay their fears and are advised to build up an emergency fund, pay off first debts with high interest, and take advantage of their employer's 401(k) match contributions. Time Money
How is Partners Group solving the 401(k) puzzle?
A private equity investment product being launched by Switzerland-based Partners Group is aimed at the 401(k) industry, according to this article in The Wall Street Journal. The new product is designed to provide private equity with an access to capital. For private investment firms, the defined contribution market is a difficult area to tap into as there is no fund structure that can incorporate private equity holdings that are not easy to value unlike stocks and bonds. The Wall Street Journal
How to fund retirement with your life insurance
Permanent life insurance coverage is a good instrument retirement savers can use to help build their nest eggs, according to this article on MarketWatch. Clients may take withdrawals from their life insurance policies' cash reserves, although they may face pitfalls when doing so. Life insurance offers additional savings to IRA and 401(k) contributions with the same tax advantages, and can fund clients' early retirement years. MarketWatch
8 Things You Didnt Know About Saving for Retirement
While clients are aggressive in building their nest eggs, rules for IRAs, 401(k), and other retirement savings plans may sometimes impede their efforts, according to this article on Kiplinger. Some rules place a limit to annual contributions or prevent people in higher income brackets from contributing to a particular retirement account. Read the strategies that clients can use to maximize their savings for their golden years. Kiplinger

ATLANTA, GA (PRWEB) August 25, 2016
WORKOUT ANYTIME, the leading 24-hour, seven-days-a-week fitness concept, is growing at record-breaking rates this year. The Atlanta-based health and wellness franchise, known for being extremely accessible to both its franchisees and its members, opened its 100th location in Bardstown, Kentucky on August 25, 2016.
The 100th gym opening marks a major milestone for the brand, as WORKOUT ANYTIME crosses the threshold of six-fold growth since 2011. The fitness franchise credits its impressive recent growth rate to its commitment to working with the highest quality real estate and business owners in the industry. WORKOUT ANYTIME only negotiates leases for its franchisees in locations with traffic flow proven to support a solid base of customers and ultimately see success.
"Everything we do on the corporate level is to point our franchisees in the right direction," said Mark de Gorter, chief operating officer for WORKOUT ANYTIME. "That's why we're now able to celebrate the opening of our 100th gym. The WORKOUT ANYTIME model is unparalleled, and we're using it to drive unprecedented growth in new markets across the country."
WORKOUT ANYTIME's 100th location is owned and operated by Trey Hornsby, a franchising expert and his wife, Tracey. Hornsby spent nearly 20 years working on the corporate side of Yum! Brands, Inc. before becoming a franchisee with Zoës Kitchen. He learned about WORKOUT ANYTIME's strong ownership opportunity through a friend, and decided to invest in the brand because of his lifelong passion for fitness and the simplicity of the franchise's proven business model.
"We're seeing a lot of restaurant franchisees jumping into our business. That's because WORKOUT ANYTIME offers entrepreneurs a low maintenance opportunity with a simple operations model that can't be found anywhere else. We're thrilled to have Trey and Tracey leading the charge at our 100th location. Having people of their caliber on our team opens the door for us to work with even more experienced franchisees in the future," said Randy Trotter, WORKOUT ANYTIME's senior vice president of development.
Crossing the 100-location mark is no easy task: less than one percent of franchisors make it to that milestone. But WORKOUT ANYTIME isn't content to rest on its recent accomplishments. The fitness franchise is focused on moving forward and pushing expansion efforts to the next level as it surges through 2016. WORKOUT ANYTIME has already signed 20 new franchise partners since January and has opened one new gym every single week, on average, so far this year.
"We opened our first 100 locations at a record rate, but the second 100 will go even faster," said de Gorter. "Now that we've reached this level, we have our sights set on the next milestone. The only difference this time around is that now we have an advantage: a strong and committed network of franchise partners to help support a growing number of potential customers and franchisees now familiar with our brand, and the quality it represents. Crossing this 100 location milestone, combined with our strong, growing reputation among potential customers, allows us to be even more strategic in our expansion efforts ahead."
Atlanta-based WORKOUT ANYTIME is a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week fitness concept with 100 units open and operating across the U.S. Founded by fitness veterans John Quattrocchi and Steve Strickland, the company was formed to provide members with first-class fitness facilities at a value price, while delivering a profitable and affordable business model to franchisees. Built on the founders' motto of, "think big, keep it simple and do it with integrity," WORKOUT ANYTIME is preparing for significant expansion into new territories by providing opportunities to business-minded entrepreneurs.

For this assignment, I want to model a 3D pixel cow. So I started from a 5X5X5 cube and slowly built out the entire cow. It gets extremely complicated to use the "move" command during the process since there are so many objects to snap onto. So solve the problem, I sometimes have to draw reference line on the object for them to snap onto. Since the entire cow is constructed by cubes, I used "BooleanUnion" command at the end to join everything together.
Here are the results.

Two elderly women, aged 85 and 92, were killed, police say, when the 92-year-old who was driving failed to yield the right of way at an intersection near the city of Stevens Point. According to authorities, the women were driving northbound and failed to yield to a vehicle traveling westbound on Highway 10, causing the car accident. The westbound vehicle was driven by a 26-year-old woman, who was transported to a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
The Wisconsin State Patrol said that the right westbound lane of Highway 10 was closed for several hours. According to authorities, the 85-year-old woman was killed in the crash, and the 92-year-old woman was airlifted to a regional hospital, but later died there of her injuries. Speed was believed to be the causal factor in the crash. A Sheriff's Department sergeant said the combination of high speeds and the need for fast decisions when crossing a roadway with a 65 mph speed limit caused some car accidents.
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation reported that there were six fatal crashes involving drivers 75 or older in 2011 that were considered speed-related accidents. Of those drivers, one was female and five were male. When injury crashes and property damage crashes were included in the speeding-crash count, drivers in that age group were reportedly involved in 236 crashes, 82 of them with women behind the wheel and 154 with men operating the vehicle.
A car accident can happen to drivers of any age. Individuals who have been injured or who have lost loved ones due to an auto accident may find the services of a Wisconsin attorney to be helpful. A lawyer can work toward securing financial compensation for pain and suffering, medical expenses and other such damages.
