Why not share its attractiveness? Nominate the garden in our Beautiful Gardens competition.
House + Garden hunts out the best residential gardens, during nongardening subsequently publishes the winners every year. Each winning garden will be showcased at the Star Tribune and online at www.startribune.com.
The garden can be any kind — small or large; suburban, urban or rural; ornamental edible or both. It can be found anywhere in Minnesota or Wisconsin.
It might be your own parents' garden, your buddy garden or your own. Why keep a thing that is gorgeous ?
It's simple to nominate a garden. Just send several snapshots, along with a brief description, for example: what makes it unique and who tends the garden.
Here's a suggestion to enhance your favourite garden's likelihood of being chosen a winner: Photos don't have to be of professional grade, but be sure to include at least one which reveals a back-off perspective of this garden. Close-ups of irises and amazing roses are great, but the judges also need to observe how components in the garden work together to make an entire.
We'll accept entries through July 20. Send entries to: 650 3rd Av, Beautiful Gardens, Star Tribune. S., Minneapolis, MN 55488. Or email entries to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Visit a frozen-in-time town in Ras Al Khaimah
Head south from Al Hamra and you'll come across the ghost town of Jazirat Al Hamra. Its residents upped and left over 50 years ago, and it's remained untouched ever since. This means it's a prime example of a pre-oil town, which are few and far between. Some of the best-preserved features include a fort, souk and mosque.

IoT will play an important role in improving operational efficiency: Rajesh Uppal, CIO, Maruti Suzuki India
Maruti Suzuki has built competence and stayed ahead in terms of IT infrastructure. Being the largest passenger car maker in the country, IT is crucial backbone of its business operations involving dealers and vendors, states Rajesh Uppal, Executive officer (IT), CIO, Maruti Suzuki India, in an interaction with EC's Abhishek Raval
We present below Rajesh Uppal's view in his own words:
With the help of in-house developed systems, the nationwide network of over 2000 dealers is monitored on real time basis. Similarly the co-ordination with our domestic and international suppliers is crucial. Maruti Suzuki has over 400 Tier-I suppliers and another 2,000 plus Tier-II suppliers. On the strength of the IT systems, the ordering and uninterrupted supplies are monitored round the clock by our operational teams. Robust IT infrastructure helps to keep a close track of component supplies and finished cars while in transit on a real time basis.
As the scale of operations increase and we expand to multiple locations, strong and well integrated IT infrastructure ensures a seamless business operation.
In line with the changing business dynamics, Mobility, cloud and cybersecurity were the successful initiatives in 2016-17. Usage of mobile enabled business processes especially for the mobile workforce within and in the extended organization proved impactful in terms of business operations and inducing process efficiencies.
Sales and service network is our strength and it is continuously expanding. In under 2 years, Maruti Suzuki's car retail channel, NEXA has added 250 premium retail outlets across the country. The business associates are mapped by IT network, which is maintained and developed by our in-house team. The upgradation of network to meet the rising scale is utmost important for Maruti Suzuki. The financial year 2017-18 will definitely see even more work in the areas of mobility, cloud and cybersecurity. At the same time the GST and GRC will be in focus. Customer engagement using analytics, mobility and single view of customer (CRM) will also be focus areas in 2017-18.
IT systems helps Maruti Suzuki to track customer trends, grievances and demands. The analytical data derived from the network is of value for our engineers, to improve existing products and design future cars. IT spending will be increased in line with the growth in the size of our business. IT security spending will also keep pace, accordingly.
While on one hand, our cars are using best of the technologies and are more contemporary, in IT arena too we have to be aligned with the current technologies and trends to make the best for the business.
Big Data and analytics has great potential in various areas of business operations which include customer experience management, productivity enhancement, quality improvement and supply chain costs. Digitization and mobility will be impactful in the customer engagement initiatives, and workforce efficiency enhancement.
IoT will play an important role in the operational efficiency enhancement and customer engagement. There will be lot of opportunity areas on the cross-roads of various technologies, e.g. using IoT and Analytics for enhancing business productivity and customer experience. Emerging technologies like Blockchain will be evaluated w.r.t. to their utility in the business.

Designing a website takes time, patience and a little bit of know-how. It can be easy if you already know what goes into great design, such as SEO and useful navigation. Read on to find some great tips and tricks which will help you build the website of your dreams!
Avoid using so-called "mystery meat navigation". This involves using unlabeled images or other elements for the site's navigation. In many cases, the visitor has to mouse over the buttons to even see what they do. Navigation is best kept simple. Use text links across the top or along the left side of the page.
Always ensure you are giving meaningful feedback, as this is what creates the communication between a website and its visitors. For example, if an action taken by a visitor results in an error, do not simply display "error occurred."� Instead, provide a message that explains what happened and how the visitor can correct the error by taking a different action. Without this feedback, visitors are more likely to grow frustrated and just give up by leaving your website.
Keep your topics separated. Separate topic of discussion throughout your site by putting them on separate pages. This helps your visitors navigate your site more seamlessly, and it helps search engines understand what you have to offer better. This translates to higher rankings.
If you believe your site may be accessed via mobile devices, you will want to keep your designs simple. The use of flash, excessive images, and complicated menus will not translate well to a mobile platform. Keep your page clean and simple, or create a specific mobile site for your users.
One thing you should always take into account when you're thinking about web design is the latest technology that is out today. As technology advances to does the web, so be sure you are always up to date with what is changing so that you're that much more understanding of how the web works.
The file types will affect the load time of your website. GIFs and JPGs are your best choice for graphics. PNG and BMP files take up a ton of bandwidth. To be sure visitors have a positive experience, graphics should be converted to file types that are better-sized.
For your image tags, always try to include a brief description in the ALT attribute. Not only is this good for search engine optimization, but it is also beneficial to the sight-impaired users who rely on screen readers to describe image tag contents. Make your description short and as descriptive as possible.
Try to minimize your image usage. Generally, simpler designs are more effective for the user. So keep your site simple, but also neat. Avoid cluttering pages with large, bulky images that have long loading times. Try being creative with the layout and using your "eye."For example, use eye-catching focal points to get a viewer to visit something specific.
Now that you've read the ideas in this article, you should be able to go forth and design a website which will rival those of your competition. Keep learning to find new techniques to increase your traffic, add new content and boost your page to the top of your market!

Please click the 'Welcome Board' to access my teacher page.
Welcome to my teacher page. This year I will be teaching grade 5 Music, grades 6-8 Band, grades 5-8 Visual Art and grade 5 Health. I look forward to the school year ahead and anticipate an exciting, fun-filled experience. Please follow the link to Google 'Classroom'. Course outlines, assignments and important upcoming dates are posted in each subject area. Grades will be updated on PowerSchool when available, and if assignments are missing they will be marked as such until handed in.
All students are expected to show up promptly to class with their required work materials; it is not conducive to learning to be leaving the room after the class has started for locker trips. Students will be informed in-class of what materials they will need habitually, as well as what they might require on special occasions.
Students are expected to complete all of their work to their best of their ability and hand it in on time. If students are absent they need to speak with their friends or check online so they do not fall behind. Students should be active participants in the class – asking questions, commenting, and answering questions. Students should challenge themselves to do their best and remember to check grades on PowerSchool regularly to chart progress and catch errors.

Message from the Chair of Governors - Stewart Castle
The school governing body is responsible for working with the school to ensure that it delivers a good quality education. Together with the Head Teacher, who is responsible for day-to-day management, we set the school's aims and policies. We aim to:
1) Ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction,
2) Hold the Head Teacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance of the staff,
3) Oversee the financial performance of the school and making sure it is money is well spent.
We are delighted with the progress of the school and the appointment of our new Head Teacher in 2015 sees exciting and improving times ahead. It would be helpful if parents could complete the Parent View feedback (https://parentview.ofsted.gov.uk/ ) or please let us know if you have suggestions or comments about any aspects of the school.
Please consider giving some time to serve on the Governing Body. If you need more information about the role or wish to apply to be a Governor please contact Lisa Williams, Clerk to the Governors, via the school office.
Statement of Issues Addressed by the Governing Board 2014/15
The last year has been a challenging one for the Uphill Primary School Board of Governors. Prior to term six of 2015, the school had a somewhat disrupted year; whilst the Governing Board continued their search for a new Headteacher.
Within the interim period we appointed our current Deputy Headteacher, Mrs Sam Hodder, as Acting Headteacher, who coped well with the challenges of rising expectations of academic standards and the implementation of the new national curriculum in key areas.
By June 2015 the School had a permanent, enthusiastic and energetic Headteacher focused on improving the life chances of all our children; a refreshed Senior Management Team and teachers intent on providing excellent teaching.
The Leadership team, Governing Board and staff clearly identified the challenges the school faces to ensure the children reach levels of academic achievement expected of children of their age, whilst getting a good all round education that will fit them to be good citizens in the future.
In November 2015, the Governors approved an outline of a new school development plan as the route to achieving these aims. They also agreed what the milestones are along the route that will enable us all to know whether these targets are being met. Key areas of the SDP include;
Embed the ethos of Learning without Limits
Ensure at least 85% of our children reach age related expectations in reading, writing and maths combined by 2017/2018
Develop expert teaching
Improve outcomes for SEND and disadvantaged children to at least be in line with \national average
Support continual development of the school curriculum through integrated learning
In order to improve the quality of our work as governors we have attended training sessions (details of which are available from the Clerk to Governors). We have looked closely at the way we work and are currently undertaking a self-evaluation and skills audit to better understand our strengths and weaknesses.
Our focus for this academic year of 2015-2016 is to ensure standards are improved particularly within the key focus areas (as demonstrated on the school development plan) whilst maintaining a safe and happy environment, through critically analysing our policies and procedures.

Key Findings: Family culture refers to the family-related attitudes and norms a country's citizens express. Data suggest that adults take a range of progressive and conservative positions on family issues.
- Attitudes toward voluntary single motherhood differ from one region to another, with adults in the Americas, Europe, and Oceania leaning more toward acceptance (with a high acceptance rate of 80 percent in Spain), and those in Asia, the Middle East, and sub-Saharan Africa leaning more toward rejection (as evidenced by an acceptance rate of only 2 percent in Egypt and Jordan).
- About half of adults agree that one parent can raise a child as well as two parents, with support ranging from 24 percent in China to 69 percent in South Africa.
- In all of the countries featured in this study with available data, most adults—from 52 percent in Chile to 84 percent in Taiwan—believe that working mothers can establish relationships with their children that are just as good as those of stay-at-home mothers.
- Most adults worldwide report that they completely trust their families; however, levels of trust vary by region and country, with 63 percent of adults reporting they completely trust their families in the Netherlands, and 99 percent reporting this to be the case in Egypt. It should be noted that the willingness of adults to affirm the term "completely" (regardless of the topic) varies across countries.
To shed light on adults' attitudes toward family life around the world, we relied on data from the World Values Survey (WVS), collected between 2000 and 2013, and the 2012 edition of the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) surveys on four cultural indicators in 32 countries: 1) approval of single motherhood, 2) agreement that one parent can bring up a child as well as two parents, 3) approval of working mothers, and 4) presence of family trust.71 Given that respondents in different countries may interpret the questions and response categories somewhat differently, and that population representation of the surveys varies from country to country, the WVS and ISSP do not allow us to draw a perfect comparison between countries.
Attitudes Toward Voluntary Single Motherhood
Adult attitudes toward voluntary single motherhood vary greatly by region, as seen in Figure 13. The WVS asked adults if they approved of a woman seeking to "have a child as a single parent" without a "stable relationship with a man." In Asia, the Middle East, and sub-Saharan Africa, little public support exists for this type of single motherhood. Specifically, in Asia and the Middle East, support for this view ranges from a high of 20 percent (Taiwan) to a low of 2 percent (Egypt and Jordan). Support is also comparatively low in sub-Saharan Africa, where only 19 percent of adults in Uganda and 29 percent of adults in South Africa express approval of voluntary single motherhood.
Sources: www.worldfamilymap.org/2015/e-ppendix/figure13
Support for voluntary single motherhood is markedly higher in the Americas, Europe, and Oceania. Forty percent or more of adults living in Oceanic or American countries surveyed in the WVS accept it. For example, 52 percent of adults in the United States, 46 percent in Canada, 40 percent in Australia, and 74 percent in Chile indicate that they approve of unmarried women having children on their own. Views are more heterogeneous in Europe. Just 32 percent of adults in Poland express support for voluntary single motherhood, compared with 80 percent of adults in Spain. Overall, slightly less than half of the adults in most other European countries register their approval of voluntary single motherhood. In general, adults in countries with more affluence, lower levels of religiosity, and/or high levels of single parenthood prove to be more supportive of women having children without a husband or male partner. By contrast, countries with strong religious or collectivist orientations are less supportive of women who choose to be single mothers.72
Attitudes About Whether Children Need Two Parents
Despite the considerable regional variation in attitudes toward voluntary single motherhood, there is relatively little variation among countries in attitudes about the value of a two-parent home. In most of the world, about one-half of adults believe that "one parent can bring up a child as well as two parents together," as Figure 14 illustrates.73
Sources: www.worldfamilymap.org/2015/e-ppendix/figure14
Adults in Asia show the widest range of beliefs on this indicator. In China, less than one-quarter of adults believe that one parent can raise a child as well as two parents, whereas in India, the Philippines, and Taiwan, over one-half of adults think that one parent can. Data are very limited for sub-Saharan Africa, and South America, but where they are available, adults tend to believe that one parent can raise a child as well as two: in South Africa, 69 percent of adults affirm that, and in South America, as represented by Argentina and Chile, about 60 percent do.
Adults in North America and Oceania are more skeptical of single-parent families, with just under half of adults believing that one parent can raise a child as well as two parents in Canada, Australia, and United States. In both Western and Eastern Europe, about half of adults believe that one parent can raise a child as well as two parents, with agreement ranging from 39 percent to 60 percent.
For the countries with available data, attitudes about whether children need two parents generally align with behaviors. In South Africa, adults have the world's highest level of endorsement for one-parent families, and more than half of children grow up living with a single parent. Single parenthood is less widespread in areas with lower levels of endorsement for single parents' abilities to raise children alone. For example, in North America and Oceania, where less than one-half of adults believe that one parent can raise a child as well as two, over three-quarters of children live with two parents (with the exception of the United States).
Support for Working Mothers
The 2014 edition of the World Family Map cautioned against drawing conclusions about support for working mothers because the most recent data available were from the turn of the millennium. Fortunately, the ISSP included this question in their most recent round of survey data collection around 2012. The countries for which data are available are not identical to those covered in the 2014 edition, and again it is important to be cautious in comparing this year's reported data to those in last year's report due to the different data sources.
Across the world, one-half of women aged 15 and older participate in the labor force.74 In line with this trend, as Table 4 indicates, a majority of adults in all countries surveyed around the globe believe that a "working mother can establish just as warm and secure a relationship with her children as a mother who does not work."
Sources: www.worldfamilymap.org/2015/e-ppendix/table4
This view seems to be particularly prevalent in Western Europe and North America, where more than two-thirds of adults in the surveyed countries agree that working mothers perform just as well as mothers who do not work outside the home. For instance, 72 percent of adults in the United States, 78 percent of adults in Sweden, and 81 percent of adults in France express the belief that working mothers can establish as good a relationship with their children as can stay-at-home mothers.
The available evidence in sub-Saharan Africa comes from South Africa, where 75 percent of adults agree that working mothers do as well as mothers who do not work outside the home.
Support for working mothers is more moderate in other regions of the world. In parts of Asia (including China, India, and South Korea) and Eastern Europe, about 65 percent of adults agree that working mothers can establish strong relationships with their children. Support is higher in the Philippines and Taiwan, though, at 72 percent and 84 percent, respectively. In Australia, 68 percent of adults hold similar views. Adults in South America express less support for working mothers than those in other regions. In Chile, 52 percent of adults believe that working mothers develop relationships with their children that are as secure as those of non-working mothers. In Argentina, 61 percent of adults feel the same way. Unfortunately, no Middle Eastern countries were included in this data source, but older findings for this region were reported in the 2014 World Family Map report.
In general, then, this somewhat limited global survey of attitudes towards working mothers suggests that in most regions, public support for working mothers is high. Despite the conventional wisdom that children do best when their mothers are caring for them full-time in the home, at least 50 percent of adults believe that working mothers can establish relationships with their children which are as strong and secure as those of non-working mothers in every surveyed country. In fact, recent research has found little relationship between the quantity of time that children or adolescents spend with their mothers and their educational and behavioral outcomes.75
Family Trust
The family is an important social institution around the world. Most societies see the family as a fundamental source of socialization, the place that meets some of humankind's deepest needs for belonging, and the wellspring of the emotional and social support needed to flourish. What, then, does the global public believe about the presence of trust in their own families? The World Values Survey asked respondents if they trust their families, and the results suggest that trust remains high in most families around the world (see Table 5). Here the World Family Map records the percentage of respondents affirming that they "completely" trust their families,76 the highest answer they could select, because there is a tendency for respondents to pick the top category in reporting on such a socially desirable indicator. However, differences across cultures exist in the degree to which survey respondents will affirm the category "completely." Evidence suggests that in the Netherlands and in Latin America, specifically, and perhaps in other countries, respondents often avoid choosing the highest categories on survey questions because these response options are not culturally acceptable.77
Sources: www.worldfamilymap.org/2015/e-ppendix/table5
With these caveats, we find that family trust is almost universal among adults in the Asian, Oceanic, and especially Middle Eastern countries studied. In the Middle East, 91 percent of Qatari adults indicate that they completely trust their families, as do 94 percent of Turkish adults and a remarkable 97 percent of adults in Jordan and 99 percent of adults in Egypt. Likewise, 90 percent of adults in China express complete trust in their families, as do 82 to 86 percent of adults in other Asian countries, and 82 percent of Australians. India appears as an exception to the high rates of family trust in Asia, with just 65 percent of adults saying they completely trust their families.
Levels of family trust are more mixed in Europe and the Americas. In Europe, the proportion of adults who report completely trusting their families ranges from 63 percent in the Netherlands to 94 percent in Spain. Notably, the percentage of adults who completely trust their families decreased by five percentage points in Germany between 2006 and 2013, to 76 percent.
In the Americas, the proportion of adults who affirm that they completely trust their families ranges from 71 percent in Brazil to 92 percent in Argentina, with North American percentages falling between 70 and 83 percent. In sub-Saharan Africa, 67 percent of adults completely trust their families in Ghana, while 76 percent express this trust in South Africa and 88 percent do in Nigeria.
Given the heterogeneous character of countries that register high levels of family trust—with at least nine in 10 adults completely trusting their families in Argentina, China, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, Spain, and Turkey—we cannot be sure of the role factors like affluence, public policy, religion, and familism (the elevation of the family over individual issues) play in fostering high levels of family solidarity. Nevertheless, the varied character of nations scoring highly on the attitudinal measure of family trust suggests that different factors foster strong family solidarity in different regional contexts.
While research consistently demonstrates that families exert a strong influence on child outcomes, our ability to monitor families and understand how to strengthen them, and thus improve child outcomes in many regions of the world, is hampered by a lack of data. For example, in many countries, even basic data—such as the relationship between a child's parents, information on extended family members and non-residential parents, and the education level and employment status of both parents—are unavailable. Though improved, the need for data on additional countries for the indicators in the family process and culture sections is obvious, and the areas of family structure and socioeconomics would be strengthened if there existed more data allowing for comparisons across regions and countries of the world. To further understand the family dynamics underlying child well-being, we need comparable data for additional indicators of family well-being.
Specific surveys sometimes allow for analyses of these dynamics. The following section presents an essay that uses survey data to look at the distribution of household labor and whether it is related to happiness among parents.

'The Walking Dead: Episode 4' Game Review
Beware of the walking dead lurking around every corner!
This statement may probably have you recoiling instantly and calming down equally fast upon realizing the obvious allusion. That's right, the reference is for Telltales' The Walking Dead: Episode 4, entitled Around Every Corner, that promises more chills, thrills, and blood spills than ever before. Tread on for a brief review – carefully.
The Plot
The story sees the motley team of mortals – led by the plucky Lee Everett – arrive at Savannah city to hunt for the elusive ship that would transport them away from the marauding zombies. The team of mortals notably includes Lee's ingenuous dependent Clementine, original survivor Kenny from the previous episodes, and school boy Ben. Moreover, fresh characters emerge in this new adventure adding their own personal dynamics into the mix.
Overall, the essential premise and mission remains unaltered. Together the team has to battle the walking dead, combat their inner psychological demons in the process, locate the savior ship and – most importantly – stay alive.
The Gaming Facets
- The Walking Dead: Episode 4 incorporates bright, high-quality, and imaginative visuals to create an immersive playing experience. The various gaming environments feature life-like graphics and sound effects that elevate the enjoyment level. The character voiceovers, especially of the leads, are exceedingly resonant and possess the right amount of inherent sentiments. However, some variances between lip movements and outputted speech are observed.
- Non-stop action is the hallmark of this episode with a constant stream of gunfights, hackings, and fisticuffs as well as a profuse use of other weaponry. The zombie attacks are truly relentless keeping you on your toes and actively engaged throughout the proceedings. To aid player functionality, this episode features many more attack controls that involve the single push of a console button.
- Episode 4 is a multi-layered game featuring several settings and sub-plots involving the numerous characters. At times the abundance of game characters does tend to vitiate the story flow. Nonetheless, the game will have you straining your grey cells in order to contemplate your (and the characters') next move.
- While the goings-on are enthralling and gripping, there are minor narrative issues. In the previous episodes, more emphasis was given to character development and their innate emotional quotients. This time around there is a discernible lack of character growth impairing your empathy for the various players. Further there are some situations and character actions that are unexplained leading to player unease. This episode also contains some settings that are irrelevant, protracted, and needlessly depart from the fundamental script.
Product Details
The Walking Dead: Episode 4 is created by Telltale Games, inherently costs $5, and comes with a viewer age rating of 18. The game can be played on Xbox 360 and PlayStation platform as also on PC and Macintosh systems.
The Walking Dead: Episode 4 is an appealing game that is elevated into the "must-play" league due to action-packed content and its exhilarating finale. Hence, despite its slight shortcomings, the game is highly recommended.

If one were to do a word count to figure out how many times I said the word thigh high boots during this season and fall I guarantee it would be over one hundred times. They honestly just make an outfit ten times better with minimal effort. Even though they are semi hard to find they are super cute and defiantly a winter essential. Whether you wear them with long sweaters, jeans and a long sleeve shirt anything they are super-duper cute! I literally cannot stop saying that so sorry lol.
My favorite looks that I have worn thigh high boots with would defiantly be this post and this post. Anyone can agree that the look would not be the same without the shoes and or thigh high socks. Just thigh high socks with knee boots or over the knee boots can have the same effect and make look, extra cute and stylish. Thais actually what I do a majority of the time because the only thigh high boots I have are my Jessica Simpson boots and even though I love them to death they are defiantly ones that will not be worn every single day. Mostly because I don't want to ruin them and they are a little bit too thick on the leg part if I am honest
Overall I think they are defiantly a winter essential because of their chic style and plus. They are honestly just hard to find but mine are from Jessica Simpson, Burlington, and there are some cute ones I found on twitter from Acacia Lily. I never visited their site before other than to find the cost of the boots so if you want to pay 60 dollars than be my guest! Regardless of where you get them there a catch, besides when has someone ever complained about being cold in a pair of thigh highs?
QOTD: Whats your opinion on thigh high boots? And where did you get your favorite pair?

"Neither a borrower nor a lender be" might have been words Polonius could live by in Hamlet's Denmark, but such philosophy simply doesn't work in today's society. In the United States, credit has become a standard way of doing business. We buy our homes on credit, start businesses on credit, stock our stores on credit, and so on. In the world of credit, the lender has to be particularly careful about the borrower's ability to pay back funds.
The letters in this chapter arm the lender with a variety of credit and collection letters that can be used to ensure that a solid relationship is built with a borrower. Should that relationship falter, the letters are here to help the borrower recoup the money that was lent. There are letters here that can also be used to help the professional set up credit arrangements with a company with which it does business.

Kat had hoped that "trapping" everybody in the lake house for a weekend would help them "sort their sh-t out" on this week's episode of Black Ink Crew: Chicago. And while that might have worked for some members of the crew, for others it all got a little crazy. Especially when Ashley and Nikki decided that it would be a great idea to ambush Phor and Don at the lake house. What could possibly go wrong?
In the middle of it all, Don decided that, even though "[he] ain't even been Christian for one day" it was time to offer up a lil' prayer in the hopes that there would be some sort of divine intervention.
Let us pray the prayer of all shirtless men in trouble with their wives:
"Jesus Christ, Lord Almighty. Please give me the strength to deal with this woman today, for she is yelling at me and I've done nothing."
Tune in for more Black Ink Crew: Chicago drama on Wednesdays at 8/7c!

I have known Gregor for several years and have done business with him in TM and The Real Estate Agency. He is clearly one of the professionals in the field of Spanish property business with a vast amount of knowledge of all main European markets.Marc Pritchard, Sales & Marketing Director at TAYLOR WIMPEY ESPAÑA
I found Gregor to be a very dedicated and professional Business Developer consultant who would go the extra mile to make things happen. Gregor is very personable and he has the ability to build relationships on many levels, which in turn enabled him to deliver consistent solid results. I would not hesitate to recommend Gregor for future placements.Jose Ivars-Lopez, Head of Banking Partners at HiFX Plc
Loyalty, perseverance and true professionalism are three words defining Gregor. Combined with his vast experience and extended knowledge of the Spanish property industry in a European buyers' market perspective, he would be a great asset for any international property firm looking to explore and exploit business opportunities in northern Europe.Daniel Nilsson, Regional Manager at Fastighetsbyrån Swedbank Spain
Gregor is one of the most knowledgeable persons that I know in the Spanish Real Estate sector. I was impressed when I realized that he personally knew the most important key players in the market, which guarantees a great network, interesting collaborations and eventually big sales. I would definitely recommend him.Juan Antonio Claveria Portillo, CEO at The Group Panama
Gregor is a highly professional and dedicated manager. Our business relation started about 2 years ago. Since the beginning I have experienced that Gregor is always trustable and looking for a solution when it's necessary. Hope to be in business with him for many more years!!Carl Bruyninckx, Owner at Century 21 Bruyninckx Vastgoed
Gregor is a true professional and gentleman - in two short years through hard work and a lot of patience he has turned around "forgotten" or "sleeping" markets such as Germany, Belgium and The Netherlands and transformed them into some of the most important markets TM have. His work ethic is also impressive - taking time to develop and encourage his agents until they become "self-efficient", allowing him to take on the next batch. Determined and concentrated on what he wants, he is able to inspire his collaborators and colleagues alike to help him achieve his goals.Dean McCartney, Information Officer at Axion Consulting
I worked with Gregor during 2 years. We attended together to exhibitions in Russia and other countries, and we brought leads to his developments while he worked for TM. I was very happy to have Gregor in that company, as he was always very service oriented to the agents, and got involved in every issue to make our work, and the clients experience very satisfactory, even in the daily difficult situations. I'm sure he will provide the same top quality service in his next professional fieldRamon Fernandez-Martinez, Owner, Costa Activa SL
Gregor was our expansion manager for Andalucía in 2012/2013. He showed great work ethics and was able to find many potential licence partners for our brand. He is an incredible networker and has great knowledge of the European feeder markets for Spanish real estate.

Reports from Nevada on Saturday of heavy Democratic turnout in early voting, and heavy Latino turnout in particular, pose significant challenges to Donald Trump's ambitions of winning the state — and the presidency.
Final (almost) NV early #s are in:
Trump is dead.
GOP in big trouble in #nvsen, two House seats and #nvleg control.https://t.co/1pS7nvPBhm
— Jon Ralston (@RalstonReports) November 5, 2016
If Latino votes end up denying Trump the White House, Democrats would likely see the result as poetic justice, and look forward to passing immigration reform — in a form that most Republicans would consider "amnesty." But the result could also create broader political instability.
The present immigration debate is not primarily about legal immigration — though Democrats have tried to frame it as such. Rather, the debate is about illegal immigration, and what to do with millions of illegal aliens (no one knows the precise number) living in the country.
Moreover, the Democrats' election message to Latinos has focused on defending the interests of illegal aliens. They have also used illegal aliens at every level of their campaign, including registering U.S. citizens to vote.
In addition, Democrats have led the effort to defy existing federal immigration law, through sanctuary cities and other policies.
While new revelations on corruption and Obamacare have boosted Trump, those issues may not be of particular interest to Latino voters.
The political culture of many Latin American societies accepts a certain level of endemic corruption as a fact of life. And Obamacare has benefited many of the poorest Latinos, who are eligible for health insurance through the expansion of Medicaid. (In California, the state is petitioning the federal government to allow illegal aliens to be eligible as well.)
The idea that a major policy question like immigration law would be settled, in part, on behalf of those who are not actually Americans, and through the efforts of those who have helped them defy the law, will raise major questions about whether the result is just, even if the result is technically legitimate. Many Republicans will likely question the legitimacy of the result as well.
From the point of view of social stability, the best political solution to the immigration puzzle is to have a President Trump pass immigration reform, in a Nixon-to-China gesture that involves significant compromise by both sides.
Republicans would have their "wall," and a guarantee that border security will come before legalization. Democrats would have their pathway to citizenship, likely guaranteeing that most of today's illegal aliens would be tomorrow's citizens, and likely voting Democratic as well.
It would be better (though, from a Republican perspective, bad for other reasons) for Trump to lose by a landslide, in which Latino votes were only a small part of a larger story, than to lose by a narrow margin because of the Latino vote.
The worst-case scenario is one that might unfold if the Nevada result foretells a narrow win for Hillary Clinton on the basis of Latino turnout alone, because then any immigration policy changes that follow might be seen as illegal aliens imposing their will on citizens.
The tragedy of immigration policy in the U.S. is that there is one solution that is politically acceptable to the vast majority of Americans, though imperfect. It is border security first, followed by a path to citizenship once border security has been confirmed. Republicans generally want to put this issue behind them.
Democrats have deliberately frustrated the obvious solution in order to preserve the immigration issue for presidential elections — i.e. for precisely this moment.
The counter-argument to the above is familiar— that Republicans would deserve to lose for choosing candidates in two successive elections that take hard stances against illegal immigration.
But the answer to that is what happened to Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) in 2008, and what is happening to Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) now. Democrats attack even Republicans who are allies on immigration. They want surrender, not compromise.
The news from Nevada could thus portend trouble for Trump, and division for America.

Rage Doll and The Raven
Three weeks following my surgery I am experiencing tremendous bouts of uncontainable rage. It is quite unsettling and quite unlike me. I am trying to befriend this new emotion or, at least, to sit with it in acceptance for the moment. This Rage Doll poured through me this weekend. She may have saved many innocent bystanders from experiencing my wrath had I dared to go out in public rather than stay inside my womb-like studio and express through my creation.
The beads pouring out of her mouth beautifully express the rage pouring forth from me related to a combination of issues from my past, recovering from surgery, and hormonal attempts at rebalancing. After I finished making her, I noticed that she has a regal mermaid-like quality. She appears beautiful, centered, and powerful even in her ragefullness.
She is holding a sea shell in her triumphant raised hand that symbolizes once again my ovary...the one that was taken and the one that remains...I am so grateful for my ability to create through process! This journey contains both extreme challenges and a deep richness...I probably would have it no other way...
P.S. I found this fabulous Folkmanis Raven puppet by chance today. She embodies so much of how I am feeling as well as the mystery behind all of this turmoil. She gets along well with my Rage Doll self. In one of my favorite books, Animal Speak, her characteristics are Magic, Shapeshifting, and Creation. Raven "teaches how to go into the dark and bring forth the light...This is creation." I relate to her disheveled feathers, slight air of irritability, sense of humor, and great access to deep wisdom...I am taking her to school with me tonight!

Red, White and Dead regains world record
Your humble Warning Signs host was one of 4,522 zombies at Red, White and Dead, the annual zombie walk in Seattle. I got a little sunburnt, helped a friend with an interesting video project (more information on that once video editing is completed), and had a great time.
Let's look at a few photos, shall we?
There wasn't a cloud in the sky over Seattle Saturday, so the asphalt at the Fremont Outdoor Cinema was good and warm. These brave souls piled up before rising to walk again. (And yes, that is zombie Batman in the bottom left corner.)
The trick to a pile of dead bodies is seeing how long you can go without visibly breathing. You try it. It's not as easy as it sounds.
The guy next to him, with his head in the middle of his chest, was one of the more popular people to get a photo with. Great frigging costume.
And this is the end of this post. I have more photos for another time, and I may slap a video up on here. Until then, I'd like to thank Marshall Popham, Alia Daum, Mira Daum, Ryan Reiter, Seattle Transit, Greyhound, all the good people at the Zombie Research Society and my wonderful wife Savannah for making this weekend possible.
The 2011 Red, White and Dead zombie walk reached 4,522 zombies. Keeping the record could be difficult. Make plans now for 2012.

Last year marked a record number of lip implants in the United States, according to data released this week from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).
Surgeons completed more than 27,000 lip implants in 2015— or one every 20 minutes— an increase of nearly 50 percent since 2000, the ASPS report suggests.
"Clearly, lips and the enhancement of the lip and pucker are on the rise. It's very popular, and it's become something that patients are desiring more and more," ASPS president Dr. David H. Song said in a news release.
The silicone implants come in three sizes and are inserted with a couple incisions and then stitches.
Last year also saw a rise in lip injections, such as Botox and soft-tissue fillers, to 9.2 million— a 1,000 percent increase since 2000.
According to the ASPS, in the U.S., breast augmentation remains the top cosmetic surgical procedure, and Botox is the most popular minimally invasive cosmetic surgical procedure, Medical Daily reported. Overall, cosmetic surgeries have increased by 115 percent since 2000.
Contrary to what pop culture may have the public believe, the ASPS report suggests reality TV star Kylie Jenner's lips aren't the most coveted. According to a national survey commissioned by ASPS, Hollywood's most likable lips belong to actresses Jennifer Lawrence, Scarlett Johansson and Jennifer Garner.

Frequently Asked Questions About Greyhounds
What kind of pets do retired racing greyhounds make?
Greyhounds are affectionate, friendly dogs who thrive on the attention and human companionship and make terrific pets. Raised with their litter mates where they competed for affection, greyhounds love becoming the center of attention as household pets. Greyhounds usually do not make good watchdogs; their friendly nature is not very threatening.
Are Greyhounds good watchdogs?
Probably because of their laid-back, non-aggressive nature, Greyhounds do not make particularly good watchdogs. In fact, many owners have never heard their Greyhounds bark! Most Greyhounds love visitors and would not distinguish between those who are invited and those who are uninvited and unwelcome.
What is the life expectancy of a Greyhound?
These purebred athletes enjoy many years of good health. With proper care, they have a life expectancy of twelve years or more.
How much does it cost to adopt and care for a greyhound?
A nominal adoption fee helps to defray the expenses ESGAO has incurred on behalf of the dog: spay/neuter procedure, vaccinations, dental cleaning, medical testing, etc. Caring for a greyhound costs on average $800-$1000 per year including their food, treats, toys, and routine medical maintenance like dental cleanings and vaccinations.
Do Greyhounds need a lot of exercise?
Greyhounds are the fastest breed of dog for short distances, but they are sprinters and don't have a lot of endurance. A retired racer is quite content to be a "couch potato" and spend most of the day sleeping. Therefore, they require less exercise than many breeds, and much less than breeds such as the Dalmatian or the Labrador Retriever. If your yard is large, a Greyhound could get all the exercise it needs there. If you have a smaller yard, a couple of weekly walks and an occasional run in a fenced neighborhood ball field will keep most Greyhounds happy.
Are retired racing greyhounds already housebroken?
While racing, greyhounds are "kennel broken," which means they are trained not to relieve themselves in their living area. They are clean dogs by nature and would prefer to relieve themselves outdoors when given a choice. These two factors, combined with specific advice from a trained ESGAO representative at the time of adoption, lead to an easy transition into life as a house pet.
What kind of grooming do greyhounds require?
Greyhounds' coats are short and sleek, so they stay sweet-smelling for long periods in between baths. While frequent bathing is unnecessary, these dogs do seem to enjoy (understatement) the occasional brushing with a hound glove.
Do Greyhounds shed?
All dogs shed, and the amount that Greyhounds shed seems to vary from dog to dog. Some Greyhounds shed like any other short-haired breed, others hardly at all. Some people think that lighter-colored Greyhounds shed more than dark ones do. However, even a Greyhound that sheds comparatively heavily would shed much less than a Dalmatian or German Shepherd Dog.
Are Greyhounds good with children?
Many books on dog breeds describe the Greyhound as being too "high-strung" for children, which is entirely false. Most Greyhounds have a very quiet, calm disposition and are good with well-mannered children. However, any dog of any breed that has not been raised around children must be watched carefully, and all interaction between dogs and children, no matter how trustworthy the dog or the children, should be supervised by adults. Most Greyhounds have never seen children before leaving the track, and because very young children can behave unpredictably and in ways that are frightening or threatening to dogs, we generally do not recommend placing Greyhounds in homes with children under the age of 6. Again, exceptions may be made depending on individual circumstances.
Are Greyhounds good with other dogs and cats?
Although they do not know other dog breeds, it does not take them long to learn that these too are dogs, and they normally get along fine with them. Greyhounds should be carefully introduced to cats and very small dogs, as at first glance they look very similar to the lure they were trained to chase. There are ex -racing Greyhounds that live with birds, cats, rabbits, ferrets...it simply depends on the dog. It has been estimated that 70% of retired racers have no interest in chasing cats, 20% can be trained to live safely with cats, and 10% should not live in a home with cats. However, it's important to remember that even if you have trained your Greyhound not to chase the family cat indoors, it may still chase the neighbor's cat, or even your cat outdoors. ESGAO prefers to place dogs that fall into the 70% category in homes with cats.
Why do Greyhounds need a fenced yard?
Greyhounds are basically like all other dogs, but because of their training and racing career, they have some unique characteristics. They are sighthounds (also called gazehounds), meaning that they hunt by sight rather than smell. As hunters, they work cooperatively with other hounds and develop strategies of pursuit spontaneously during the chase. This natural instinct is reinforced in Greyhounds by training to chase lures (usually mechanical but sometimes live). Greyhounds are not vicious predators, but they do chase things that move by nature. They are sprinters and can run up to 45 miles per hour for very short periods (the average speed on a dog track is generally in the 30's). Some retired racers love to run; others take retirement very seriously and move as little as possible. Likewise, some dogs have a strong prey drive and chase squirrels and other small animals at every opportunity, where others would not give a cat a second glance. Even those dogs with a fairly healthy prey drive can be taught not to chase the family cat or Chihuahua. However, it is important to know that a dog responding to the ancient call to chase will probably be oblivious to its owner's calls to come. This is why a Greyhound can never be allowed to run loose except in a securely fenced area. Even Greyhounds which have been through obedience training should never be trusted off leash in an unfenced area. Potential adopters who do not have fenced yards should be prepared to take their Greyhound for a minimum of four on-leash potty walks and at least one longer walk (for exercise) daily, and will need to find a safely fenced area where the dog can run off-leash about once a week (or more or less, depending on the individual dog).
Does electronic ('invisible') fencing work with Greyhounds?
No, electronic fencing is not suitable for use with Greyhounds. A Greyhound in pursuit of a small animal will run right through an electronic fence. Electronic fences also do not keep out stray dogs, stray cats, raccoons and other wildlife, or teasing children. Electronic fences are also useless when there are power outages, unless there is a backup power source in place. Enough dogs have turned up in shelters and pounds wearing their electronic fence collars to convince us that electronic fencing is not a safe, reliable way to contain most dogs. We make exceptions to the fenced yard requirement for the right homes, but we will not place dogs in homes with electronic fencing.
If they aren't aggressive, why are Greyhounds muzzled when they race?
Greyhounds are typically very excited immediately before and after and during a race, and may nip at other dogs running near them. Muzzles are also used to help determine the winner in a photo-finish race. Owners who get together to run their retired racers in fenced areas often muzzle their dogs to prevent excitement-induced bites, especially if the dogs don't know each other.
All the retired racers I've seen look too skinny. Shouldn't they gain more weight after they retire?
Generally, they should gain about five pounds after they retire, depending on the dog's build. Greyhounds should always look lean; two or three ribs and vertebrae should be visible. Unlike other dog breeds, a Greyhound with even a thin layer of fat covering its ribs is overweight.
What is tattooed in greyhounds ears ?
US dogs have three digits and one letter in the right ear and a max 6 digit number in the left ear. The number in the left ear is the litter number. All pups of one litter have the same number. The right ear contains the birth month and specifies the pup in the litter.
Right Ear Tattoo:
The first one to two digits encodes the month of birth. In this example, it is the eleventh month, or November. The last digit encodes the year of birth within the past decade. In this example, '4' indicates that the birth year was 2004. Finally, the letter encodes litter order. In this example, 'B' indicates that this greyhound was the second oldest of the litter.
Left Ear Tattoo:
The five digits encode the litter registration number of this greyhound and is the same for all pups of this litter.

A two-car crash in Brussels on Wisconsin 57 sent three to the hospital and severely damaged both vehicles involved. The car accident took place when a 19-year-old driver pulled out after stopping for a yield sign into the path of a 65-year-old man who was driving east. The young woman stated to authorities that she did not see the man coming and that his vehicle may have been in her blind spot.
The young female driver, the driver of the other car and a 52-year-old female passenger traveling with him were all transported to the hospital with possible injuries. The young woman was given three citations by police: failure to yield, open intoxicants and violation of seat belt laws.
When one driver violates traffic law and causes a crash, that driver may be held responsible in two ways. First, authorities may issue a traffic citation. In this case, the officers cited the young driver for several violations of traffic law, including failure to yield the right-of-way to another car. Even though the driver claims she did not see the oncoming vehicle, the police still charged her with the accident.
Similarly, the driver may also be held civilly liable for the injuries caused to the other driver and his passenger. While criminal charges or traffic citations address the issue of wrongdoing, they do not provide any remedy for those who have been injured in these types of crashes. A personal injury attorney may represent victims in these situations to help them recover monetary damages for the expenses and costs associated with this type of accident.
