We just got back from exhibiting at the Association of College and Research Libraries' Rare Book and Manuscript Section (ACRL-RBMS) Conference held at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Florida.
The Biltmore, not to be confused with George Vanderbilt's North Carolina estate, was built in 1924 by the Florida land-developer, George E. Merrick, and the famed hotel magnate, John McEntee Bowman, at the height of the Florida land boom. Not content with simply building a 400-room grand hotel with impeccable service and magnificent interior details, their project also included a country club, a championship golf course, polo fields, tennis courts, and an enormous 150 by 225 foot swimming pool (at the time, the largest in the world). In its heyday during the 1920s and 1930s, the hotel played host to everyone who was anybody: the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Al Capone, Ginger Rogers, Babe Ruth, Judy Garland, Bing Crosby, and on and on. In the 1940s, it was used as an Army hospital and afterwards fell on some tough times and was shuttered.
Today, after extensive renovations, the hotel is once more luxurious albeit with no polo fields but an exceptional array of modern amenities. What a great place to hold a conference, especially with junior suite room rates at about half their normal cost.View from the balcony of our room.
To tell the truth, we didn't expect to sell much at the RBMS Booksellers Showcase, which was held in the Ballroom and began with a short cocktail and hors d'oeuvres reception on Tuesday evening, picked back up on Wednesday, and lasted through mid-afternoon. The RBMS organizers tried hard to make sure attendees made it to the booksellers and even scheduled times to visit specific booths. It was a good idea, but needs some fine-tuning. We had lots of attendees stop by but just not at the assigned time.There were about 40 booths in the ballroom; ours was one of them.Click on it; lots of things are still for sale
We had figured that we would chalk our expenses off as advertising. To that end, we decided to sponsor one of the sessions, "Forever Alone: A Roundtable Discussion of How to Make It Alone in Archives and Special Collections," so we could get our name in the conference program and insert a flyer in the goodie bag that all of the attendees received at registration. We also carted along a stack of our latest catalogs and boxful of combination stylus-pens imprinted with our contact information.
The insert worked surprisingly well, as we had a dozen or so visitors tell us they made a point of stopping by because of it. All told, we gave out about forty catalogs and a hundred of our advertising pens. Better still, we ended up having serious discussions with nine or ten different special collections librarians and added about twenty-five names to our contact list. We'd have been happy with that even if we didn't make a single sale.
But . . . as Gomer Pyle used to say, "Surprise, surprise, surprise!" we did sell some stuff. Between orders from dealers and librarians, our sales reached into the five figures, and we may well end up with several thousand dollars more in follow-ons if the ephemera gods decide to smile upon us. So, what kind of stuff did we sell? Here are a few of things:
The Virtue and Use of Coffee, with Regard to the Plague and Other Infectious Distempers: Containing . . . The First Knowledge of it, Down to the Present Time by Richard Bradley. London: Eman. Matthews and W. Mears, 1721. First thus. 8vo. Complete with 34 text pages, folding frontispiece, and five pages of advertisements in the rear. Soundly bound within a marbled card wrapper.
Virginia-North Carolina Base Ball League Score Book. Scoring by Robert Dupree. 1905. Hardcover. Spalding's Official Base Ball Score Book No. 3 was used to score five games from the very short-lived Virginia-North Carolina Base Ball League between 12-16 August 1905. Complete with scoring instructions by Jacob Charles Morse on the last page. Soundly bound; the rear hinge is starting to split, and the cover shows some wear and soiling. The scoring was done in pencil and is legible.
School Friendship Book kept by Elizabeth "Bessie" Allan while attending the Lux School for the Industrial Training of Girls in San Francisco, 1915-1919. It has approximately 150 pages filled with an exceptional collection of photographs, report cards, invitations, programs, a "Yell Book," an ice cream ticket, calling cards, dolls (one stuffed and one wooden), sweater letters, booster ribbons and much more. The book and contents are in very nice shape, however a number of leaves have been removed from the overstuffed album, probably by Bessie to make room for all of the items she collected.
Photograph Album Documenting Hunting and Outdoor Life in the Western United States by an unidentified compiler. Colorado and California: Circa 1900. The album contains approximately 110 photographs. About half are glossy, sepia toned albumen photos and the other half are matte, black and white images, possibly silver, salt, and/or platinum prints. Many are numbered and dated, "1904" in the negative. The extremely well-done pictures are impressive and include mountain terrain and rushing waters in the Rockies, hunting parties, campsites, tent-living, log cabins, horseback hunting, dead game (bear, deer, elk, antelope, big horn sheep), cleaning a bear skin, bundles of pelts, naked men in a stream, and views of Pike's Peak, what is now called the Garden of the Gods, Yosemite Valley, and giant Sequoias.
This is a big restaurant with lots of room, but parking is tough.
On top of having a good show, we were able to enjoy great meals at several excellent restaurants including the Versailles, one of the premier Cuban restaurants in the United States. If you're ever in town, be sure to stop in. It's very casual, very inexpensive, and very good. The Versailles, which bills itself as "the world's most famous Cuban restaurant," got its start around 1970 as the favorite gathering spot for Miami's Cuban exile community. It still has a predominately local clientele, but tourists drop in too. If you've never tried Cuban food, order one of the appetizer or dinner combos with assorted empanadas, croquettes, yucca fries, ropa vieja, picadillo, roast pork, sweet plantains, black beans, and finish it off with a slice of key lime pie and a cafecito or cafe con leche. You'll be glad you did. Of course, if that sounds like too much for you; at least stop in to try the Versailles iconic Cuban sandwich.
To cap things off, on our return trip back up Interstate 95, we picked up one great item that we haven't yet had time to upload to our website. It's a shadow box with a letter, button, and cdv from Brigadier General Oliver O. Howard. Howard lost an arm during the Battle of Fair Oaks/Seven Pines during the Civil War and later served as the Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau during Reconstruction, charged with the mission of integrating freed slaves into Southern society and politics. While assigned to the position he allied himself with the Republican Party in its effort to provide voting rights, equal justice, and schooling for African-Americans. As a resul,t he clashed repeatedly with Democratic President Andrew Johnson who continuously attempted to thwart the will of Congress and ensure White Supremacy was reinstated throughout the South. Howard was especially interested in promoting higher education for freedmen, and founded Howard University in Washington, DC where he served as the school president from 1867 to 1873. There is a label affixed to the back of the shadow box that reads, "Photograph and uniform button sent to great grandpa Frank Knight by General Oliver O. Howard in 1872." Howard's letter, on his Howard University presidential stationery, to Knight reads, "Your kind request is just received and i am pleased to comply."
No more shows for us until Boston in late October, so next up is Jan Storm van Leeuwen's History of Bookbinding class for the Rare Books School at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, and, by the way, thanks Michael--if you happen to be reading this--for stopping by to chat at the Showcase.

Get Help With HMRC Debt Management
- HMRC have tried for many years to support businesses and individuals who have a tax bill falling due for payment in the future but won't be able to pay the bill when it's due
- HMRC's Business Payment Support Service (BPSS) is for businesses
- HMRC's Self Assessment Payment Helpline is for individuals
- HMRC can allow differing time periods for a forthcoming tax debt to be paid in instalments
- A Time to Pay (TTP) arrangement is the term often used to refer to such a HMRC debt instalment repayment plan
- Businesses and individuals may seek help from regulated professionals to assist in getting a repayment term that is both manageable by the taxpayer and acceptable to HMRC
- Providing HMRC with useful, supporting information can be very helpful in negotiating a deal
Our Experienced Licensed Practitioners Offer A FREE Options Review. Get Help Today!
What is HMRC Debt Management?
HMRC debt management is similar in nature to Business Debt Management but will only apply to money that is due to HMRC (Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs), the UK's government department responsible for assessing and collecting tax due to the UK government.
HMRC run support services to help tax payers negotiate deferred instalments for paying tax that is due in the future. HMRC support services are not for use with tax debts that are past due for payment.
Queries to the HMRC on any past due debts should go the HMRC department that are chasing the debt for payment.
To consider all of the options for a limited company take a look at the Business Rescue options and the Company Liquidation options.
Time to Pay Arrangement
- The principle of a Time to Pay Arrangement is to allow a Company to repay the outstanding liabilities for VAT, PAYE and Corporation Tax in affordable instalments as opposed to in one go
- An arrangement will usually last a period of up to twelve months but can be longer if HMRC agrees
- The arrangement is beneficial to both parties if the alternative is for the Company to close; HMRC will receive payment in relation to the debts due and the Company will be granted time to help improve its financial position
- It is important that the payments you propose to make are realistic and the arrangement has a good chance of being successful
- Seeking a Time to Pay Arrangement will defer HMRC's action in seeking enforcement against the Company
- Often having a financial plan in place will ensure the Company gets back on track
Who is Eligible for a Time to Pay Arrangement?
Any type of business can apply for a Time to Pay Arrangement but it is important to be able to demonstrate the viability of the business going forward and the likelihood of the Company returning to a state of financial security.
Can Repayment of the Debt Be Afforded?
A first question for the tax payer is to work out a repayment schedule that they can afford. Failure to stick to a debt management plan with HMRC will often lead to the end of the agreement and refusal to accept a further repayment plan; HMRC may also initiate legal enforcement action to recover the amount due.
A strong proposal to support the desired repayment structure is an essential part of a negotiation for a Time To Pay (instalment payment basis) with HMRC.
Tailored advice For HMRC Debt Management and Time to Pay Agreements
We are here to advise on the best approach to managing HMRC debt. Time is often a key factor in reaching agreement with HMRC before a tax debt becomes due and enforcement action for recovery starts.
We are more than happy to provide a quote to assist with negotiating with HMRC. It is not an expensive process but there is work that will need to be completed by us.
If there are debts due to others aside from HMRC or if instalments required by HMRC cannot be met by the tax payer then alternatives options exist and we will be glad to discuss these with you.
Business Payment Support Service (BPSS)
The Business Payment Support Service (BPSS) is the UK tax office's (HMRC) help line to negotiate mutually acceptable instalment terms for a tax debt from a business that is falling due for payment but that the tax payer will not be able to pay in full by the time the debt is due for payment.
The HMRC helpline number for the Business Payment Support Service (BPSS) is: 0300 200 3835.
Self Assessment Payment Helpline
The Self Assessment Payment Helpline is the UK tax office's (HMRC) help line to try to negotiate mutually acceptable instalment terms for a tax debt from an individual under the self assessment tax regime that is falling due for payment but that the tax payer will not be able to pay in full by the time the debt is due for payment.
The HMRC helpline number for the Self Assessment Payment Helpline is: 0300 200 3822.
Can We Help You?
We will be delighted to discuss you position and offer initial advice on your options. Any costs will be quoted and agreed in advance of being incurred; so there's no risk of any unexpected bill.

Stephanie Pesceone with, Dirty Deeds, a housecleaning and organizing company is up first. I asked her for her insight on why getting your house in order could be just the thing to turn your Resolution into Reality.Should Housekeeping Be Part of Your Wellness Practice?
Last fall, a friend of mine who was struggling to find balance in her life came to me for help. She told me that she always felt guilty for not having the time or energy to take care of her home. Her long to-do list was a constant source of low-level stress, and she felt demoralized when, after a hard day of work, she came home to a cluttered house. Knowing that I was looking for extra work, she asked if I would help her with cleaning and organizing. I was delighted to help, and I soon had several more friends ask for my services.
I quickly discovered a gratifying aspect of my new occupation: my clients were physically and emotionally healthier because their homes were clean and organized. They were in better spirits and less stressed, and not just when they were at home.
Many of us struggle with being overworked and overcommitted. We put off housework until the weekend, hoping that we'll have the energy and time to deal with it then. When the weekend rolls around, we feel guilty for spending time on ourselves – going for a hike, having brunch with friends, getting a massage – rather than tackling the chores we assigned for our days off.
It's hard to enjoy that long hike in the Gorge when you're kicking yourself for not cleaning out your overflowing closets. It's hard not to feel guilty when Monday rolls around and your bathroom is still a mess. Your home should be a sanctuary from guilt and stress, not a cause of it. So how do you change that?
- Set A Date Committing to getting your home organized and clean is the first step. Set a date (or series of dates) and identify exactly what you are going to work on. Every home has a disaster area or two¾a junk drawer that barely opens, a bulging broom closet, an out-of-sight but not out-of-mind garage or basement. Identify what areas of your home are causing you stress and tackle them! (A tip: hiring a housekeeper, or even a friend, to help with this step provides accountability and motivation.)
- Reduce, Recycle Once you've organized and cleaned the major stress area(s), address general clutter. Clutter weighs on us mentally. It makes it hard to focus (and hard to clean). Go through your closet¾if an item hasn't been worn in a year, donate it. Consider instituting the "one in, one out" rule: if you buy a new garment to add to your closet, an old one has to go. Don't hold on to clothes that don't fit. If you are committed to losing weight and fitting in to those smaller sizes, that's great. When you do, treat yourself to new threads! And please don't ever hold on to too-big clothes. (Ok, we all need one pair of "fat pants", but there is no excuse to hold on to anything larger than your current size.) Those stacks of magazines in the corner that you swear you'll get around to reading? They're collecting dust. Recycle them. The junk mail on the kitchen counter that you've been meaning to sort through? Recycle or shred it. How about your pantry? Is there food hiding in the back that expired years ago? Toss it.
- Maintain (or Get Help) Now you have a clean slate – and one that will be easier to keep clean. If you find your home backsliding into messiness and it's causing your stress, hire help! Most of us deal with chaos and clutter in the outside world on a daily basis. Making your home a place of sanctuary from this upheaval is a gift to yourself.

Care for creation and fair and equitable use of the earth's resources are central to Reformed church theology and justice programming. We are one of the founding organisations of Oikotree, along with the Council for World Mission and the World Council of Churches.
Oikotree is a network of churches, ecumenical and civil society organizations, and people's movements from around the globe that focuses on ecological concerns. It is open to people of all faiths seeking to identify and oppose economic injustice and ecological destruction.
Listen to the Land! Responding to Cries for Life
While we struggle for justice with people's movements and other organizations, the issue of 'land' has emerged as a crucial factor in the destruction of creation itself, with all its beings. Therefore, at the 2013 Oikotree Global Forum the movement decided to develop a thorough theological reflection on the issue of Land.
The Oikotree Transformative Theology Working Group, one of the five working groups in the Oikotree Movement, has prepared these materials as a resource for churches, other faith communities and social movements in their response to the economic and ecological crises facing the earth, her peoples and all her beings.
It is time to move beyond confession, take responsibility and act in solidarity with the people who continue to lose their land, suffer, and die at the hands of colluding governments, corporations and paramilitaries.
Life-Enhancing Learning Together
One of clear awarenesses coming from Oikotree movement is that a new epistemology and methodology for theological thinking and theological education/training is urgently needed for churches and theology in order to respond to the enormous challenges of the contemporary life-annihilating human "civilization" manifested in economic injustice, ecological destruction, the threat of Empire and the escalation of religious conflicts today.
Today, therefore, is the time when a new Life-enhancing culture needs to be explored, reflected and lived out based on those relational, organic and reciprocal concepts like Ubuntu, Sangsaeng, Sumak Kawsay, etc.
This is a collection of the papers contributed as brainstorming voices from various regions to the Oikotree Workshop on Transformative Education in February 2015 in Matanzas, Cuba. It is our hope that this book is used as one of the stepping stones by which more resources in various forms, including the arts and actions as well as written, will be generated.

Are you a nursing home that is looking to lower its costs on background checks? As pursuant to the House Bill 4785, it is mandatory that background checks be conducted on all incoming and current residents.
It also states that it is mandatory that a fingerprint-based background check be conducted for those reports that come back with an inconclusive criminal history. At Anthony's Mobile Fingerprinting, Inc., we can provide you with both of these services.
If you receive an inconclusive result, we can provide you with our mobile fingerprinting service, in most cases, within a week. We come directly to you! Medi Car is expensive, and IDPH fines are astronomical. Anthony's Mobile Fingerprinting, Inc. can protect you against both!
Anthony's Mobile Fingerprinting, Inc. is an Illinois Council on Long Term Care recommended fingerprint provider!!!
Why have your staff…
- Waste gas driving to a fingerprinting center?
- Get lost looking for a hard-to-find office… During a random hard to schedule hours?
- Drive all the way to their fingerprint appointment to find out that they are not even open?
When instead you can…
- Have Anthony's mobile Fingerprinting and the fingerprintman come directly to you…24 hours a day seven days a week!!!!!!
- Have A Company That Specializes in Groups of all sizes from 1-1000+ and can get applicants printed in under 60 seconds per person!!!
- Making your job much much much easier and saving you time and wasted energy chasing each individual person down for the receipts or paperwork!!!
Be a hero, save your company from wasted hours and energy by streamlining your fingerprint experience with Anthony's Mobile Fingerprinting and "The Fingerprint Man"
With a signed service agreement, we offer your company 24 hour to 72 hour results. (However, if there is a criminal record, the results can be delayed anywhere from 30 to 45 days.)
Your office staff is busy doing many things and they hardly have the necessary time that it takes to make sure that the job is done right. All it takes is one slip up, one misspelled word, your company is at risk for a potential IDPH fine or–even worse–a law suit.
Why pay someone $10 to $15 an hour or more when you can pay Anthony's Mobile Fingerprinting, Inc., an Illinois State Police and FBI certified company to do the work for you, for only $15 per name. There is too much at risk for you not to use Anthony's Mobile Fingerprinting, Inc.
Note: There is a bundle discount for those companies that use both our name background checking service as well as our fingerprinting services for their residents.

Stationeers - Super Simple Steel Smelting
Absolutely minimal steel refining process.
It's Simple
Resouces needed:
You can of course use larger quantities, this was just the simplest version of the process. The ratio of the iron and coal is very important, but altering the gas ratios might let you get hotter or cooler flames in the furnace - check the ereader cartridge on your tablet for details about the pressure/temperature zone and reagent ratios to succesfully create the various alloys.
Caution Be Careful
When increasing the quantities of raw materials to get more steel, do not increase the ice by the same amount. In fact you may not need to add more gas at all, provided it keeps the furnace hot enough for your raw materials to be processed. Adding to much gas can lead to large explosions and/or distressingly bright glows from the furnace - and it will be too hot/pressurised to make steel.

New Year / New Focus – Kick off the year with the right frame of mind, and make it the year of reaching #1 Unfair Competitive Advantage status by creating a customer service revolution and making price irrelevant. It is also a great time to set up a measurement and reward program that keeps everyone focused on that mission. Nestle is repeating their 2011 Above & Beyond contest that produced great results internally. They are rewarding the top customer service reps who displayed amazing customer service, with an opportunity to attend the 2012 Secret Service Summit! What is your commitment to becoming a world-class customer service organization?
Customer Service Naughty & Nice List– Consumer Reports recently came out with their "Naughty & Nice List" of companies who make it easy (nice) & difficult (naughty) for their customers to do business. This two-minute clip is worth watching!
Prove you really do care – Author Daniel Pink blogs about his shock at a recent personal experience (Call my cell) where a restaurant owner advertised his cell number to any customer willing to share his or her experience. How accessible are you? Are you 100% positive your customers will tell you about a negative experience versus 400 of their Facebook friends
iPay – Apple is at it again, making life easier for their customers. Now you can avoid the crowds at the Apple store by using your iPhone or iPad to check yourself out using an App, or order and pay before you arrive and just pick up your item.
iPizza – I love Apps, especially ones that make your traditional service model into a true experience. Domino's Pizza now has an App that allows you to monitor to the second, where your pizza is in creation process, from being in the oven to the driver walking up to your front door.

"Changing the World by Creating a Customer Service Revolution…"
A radical overthrow of conventional business mentality designed to transform what employees and customers experience. This shift produces a culture that permeates into people's personal lives, at home and in the community, which in turn provides the business with higher sales, morale and brand loyalty– making price irrelevant.
Found Money – Want to increase revenue without increasing advertising or labor? Customer service expert Jack Mackey proves that you can in his recent article, "Found Money: Want it or Not?" Mackey demonstrates how research has proven a staggering amount of money lost or gained per year by how well you manage your service breakdowns and your service recovering systems. I strongly encourage you to take 10 minutes and read his article to see how your company is stacking up.
|Jack Mackey
All Business is Personal, it goes where it's invited and stays where it's appreciated – that is Jack Mackey's philosophy and message. Jack is one of our keynote presenters at the 2011 Secret Service Summit. As the Vice President at Service Management Group (SMG), he helps companies guide and energize their people to deliver remarkable service. With more than 20 years of experience in customer service leadership, Jack is also co-author of The Total Customer Service System and The Manager's Role as Coach. He speaks on performance improvement strategies nationwide and is legendary for instilling a spirit of "celebrated discontent" in his audiences.
What gets recognized, gets repeated – One of the best ways of keeping a World-Class customer service culture alive, without losing its momentum, is by finding ways to recognize your employees, locations or departments for delivering Above & Beyond service (Commandment VIII in What's the Secret?) These range from soliciting, capturing and celebrating raving fans' stories sent in from customers, to sharing them through signage, pre-shift huddles, awards, internal newsletters, and several other company communication mechanisms you use.
Excellent incentive – Here is a best practice by Nestle, a consulting client of The DiJulius Group, and a company that has had their customer service management team in attendance at every annual Secret Service Summit. Nestle currently has a contest running where the employee with the best Above & Beyond story (voted on by their peers) from each of their customer service center locations wins an all expense-paid trip plus tuition to this year's 2011 Secret Service Summit. This does several positive things: 1) It gets people to continue to think creatively to solve customer problems, 2) It generates more Above & Beyond stories so Nestle can use them to drive the awareness and service aptitude in their front lines, 3) Sometimes people who do great things, don't do it for the recognition, and don't bother to tell anyone what they did. A contest like this gets co-workers to tell on each other, and 4) The winners, the ones that "get it," are rewarded by going to a two-day customer service conference with dozens of customer service experts and motivational speakers, thus giving them even more ideas and systems they can further use. Is it any wonder why Nestlé's customer service has reached new levels over the past three years? Are there ways you can stimulate a stronger World-Class customer service culture?
Not making the customer wrong – A favorite best practice I have learned from being a regular at Starbucks is how well they educate their customers in order for the customer to be able to adapt to their terminology, thus making their job more efficient. For example, if someone comes in and says, "I would like a big size, sugar-free vanilla, with non-fat milk, latte," the Barista will confirm the order by saying something like, "certainly, you want a venti skinny vanilla latte." This just taught the customer how to articulate their drink more quickly in Starbucks' language, which reduces time and improves accuracy of the order. Best of all, the customer wasn't made to feel stupid.

"The biggest tragedy isn't death — it is living without a sense purpose and a lack of passion. It is not being blind; it is having sight but no vision."

Veteran political operative and radio host Roger Stone came out in support of the decision by Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein to appoint a special counsel to investigation purported connections between Russian officials and President Donald Trump's presidential campaign. The Justice Department has appointed former FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III to serve as a special counsel to oversee its investigation into Russian meddling in the election.
Stone greeted the development in a video at InfoWar, the media outlet captained by Alex Jones. Stone said in the video that Mueller's appointment was a "masterstroke." He said, "For once and for all, we can clear the air as to whether the Russians interceded in the last election to help Donald Trump." Moreover, Stone said that the appointment is proof that Trump has no fear of the investigation and that the dismissal of former FBI Director James Comey had "nothing to do" with it. Stone said he looks forward to "clearing the air of this politically-motivated charge of Russian collusion, which is without fact or evidence."
Rosenstein said of the move to appoint Mueller, "I determined that it is in the public interest for me to exercise my authorities and appoint a special counsel to assume responsibility for this matter." In his statement, Rosenstein said, "My decision is not a finding that crimes have been committed or that any prosecution is warranted. I have made no such determination."
Some Congressional Democrats are openly advocating that impeachment proceedings be brought against Trump because of the supposed revelations of his dealings with Russia. Regarding Democrats' calls for impeachment, now coupled with Mueller's appointment, Fox News host Tucker Carlson spoke to repeated demands by Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) for Trump's impeachment. Noting that an investigation by a special counsel will serve to extend the timeline for any Congressional investigation, Carlson said, "somebody had better tell Maxine Waters that her [impeachment] dream has just died."
.@TuckerCarlson: 'Tell Maxine Waters Her Dream Just Died' | #Tucker https://t.co/0If7L2sL5A— Fox News (@FoxNews) May 18, 2017
Carlson said that because Mueller is a Vietnam vet and Bronze Star recipient, Mueller is "an adult" with nothing to prove. He said that not likely to manufacture a crime if he does not find Trump committed one. After Democrats called for a special counsel for months, while "their farm team" in the media bolstered their claims, they finally got their wish.
As to Democrats who have called Trump a fascist, Carlson said that "Mussolini would never have appointed a special counsel." An example of media double-standard may be seen in how the Washington Post covered leaks and exposure of classified information during the Obama administration. For example, a Washington Post read on May 25h, 2014, "White House mistakenly identifies CIA chief in Afghanistan." In that case, the Obama administration put the name of a CIA officer on a press release, thereby exposing him and endangering his life. The second headline, June 30, 2016, "U.S. Offers to share Syrian intelligence on terrorist with Russia," or in other words, Barack Obama shared classified intelligence with the Russians.

Germany's economy grew for a ninth year in 2018, but at the slowest pace in five years, largely driven by domestic demand, preliminary data from the Federal Statistical Office showed on Tuesday.
Gross domestic product rose a price-adjusted and chain-linked 1.5 percent from 2017, when it expanded 2.2 percent. The pace exceeded the average 1.2 percent growth rate of the last ten years. Growth was the weakest since 2013, when the economy expanded 0.5 percent.
On a price and calendar-adjusted and chain-linked basis, GDP grew 1.5 percent following 2.5 percent expansion in 2017.
The growth rate was the weakest in three years after a 1.5 percent expansion in 2015.
In 2018, household spending rose 1 percent and government final consumption increased 1.1 percent.
Gross fixed capital formation rose 4.8 percent and exports increased 2.4 percent. Imports climbed 3.4 percent. The balance of net trade deducted 0.2 percentage points from the German GDP growth.
Data also showed that the general government surplus was EUR 59.2 billion in 2018versus EUR 34.0 billion in 2017.

The campaign, which launches this week, follows the debut of Hive Welcome Home, a subscription-based smart home service package launched in both the U.K. and North America in May.
"Hive Welcome Home is a change from one-off devices. It's the result of understanding that what consumers really want are affordable and easy self-install products," said Nina Bhatia, MD of Centrica Connected Home.
To better communicate this approach, Hive parent company Centrica Connected Home worked with branding agencies Wolff Olins and Added Value to build a brand visual identity, character, positioning, and tone of voice.
"Until now, Hive's positioning has been focused largely on function – emphasising the ability for the user to control their home," explained Nicky Mackrell, global brand and marketing director at Centrica Connected Home. "We wanted to reposition the brand as one that helps people live brilliantly. That the home is a place of enjoyment and Hive is about bringing together products and services to make everyday life effortless and enjoyable."
The brand is communicating its new positioning with a campaign created by CHI & Partners and produced by under the line "Let's get living." In the U.K., media is handled by MediaCom while Ogilvy is providing media distribution support in the U.S.
The spot (US version shown above) titled Perspectives on Life makes use of vibrant colors and dynamic stories of people in real use-case scenarios to "shake up what's traditionally been seen as a device-led category," Mackrell added.
"We want consumers to see themselves in that moment, warm to the bright happiness shown, and have an ah-ha moment. They may not say, oh I need to invest in that right now, but they will think about it," she continued.
In the U.S. and Canada, the spot will run on local broadcast and cable channels including Prime, Sports, Morning News, Prime Access, and Late Fringe.
In the U.K., it will run (with an English-accented voice-over) on selected major stations including ITV, Channel 4, and Sky1.
The campaign is further supported with digital out-of-home executions, experiential, and digital.
The new campaign also reflects Hive's multimarket strategy, Bhatia observed.
"So far our campaigns have been U.K.-focused and centred around heating. This campaign's rallying cry has to work across markets and communicate our new positioning and voice," she said.

Recruiter Panel
On February 25th, GWWIB hosted a recruiter panel with representatives from Atlantic Media, Deloitte, the US Chamber of Commerce and Alarm.com. The representatives included recruiters and recent graduates who shared their perspectives on a wide range of topics, which included effective networking, improving resumes and cover letters, preparing for interviews, and several other topics.
Regarding resumes and cover letters, the panelists agreed that it is important to tailor both to a specific position and to be clear and concise. For phone and Skype interviews you must prepare in advance and treat it like an in person interview. When beginning the job search, the panelists all agreed that is important to be yourself and to get to know the culture and people at the companies you are interested in working for. When applying for jobs it is also necessary to keep an open mind and not to limit yourself.
The most valuable piece of advice the panelists gave the audience is to utilize as many resources as possible. By seeking mentors, doing research, reaching out to peers and building a network, you will optimize your career search and set yourself up for long-term success.

Honda WR-V to be launched in India on March 16, 2017
in Honda
in Honda
After the presentation of the 2017 City facelift, Honda is gearing up for the launch of the all new WR-V in India on March 16, 2017. Honda had unveiled the all new Honda WR-V at the Sao Paulo Auto Show in Brazil last year. We had earlier reported that the all new Honda WR-V is coming to India this year, now we have confirmation that the WR-V is indeed coming and that too next month. The car was first unveiled at the 2016 Sao Paulo International Show in Brazil late last year, and is based on the Honda Jazz. When it is launched in India, it will go up against other hatchback crossovers like the Volkswagen Cross Polo, Hyundai i20 Active, Fiat Avventura Urban Cross and Toyota Etios Cross. However, unlike with its contestants, Honda has improved the design quite a bit from the car it is based on.
The front-end of the car reminds us of the Honda BR-V thanks to elements like the chrome band on the grille, the bracketed fog-lamp enclosures and the headlights. The side profile however, is really similar to the Jazz save for the plastic cladding around the wheel arches, the new roof rails and the alloys. The rear, although similar to the Jazz, has been expertly redesigned with new bumpers and taillights to make it look different from the standard hatchback.
The Honda WR-V will borrow the engine and transmission from Honda Jazz. So under the bonnet expect to see the tried and tested 1.2-litre i-VTEC petrol that generates peak power of 89 BHP and top torque of 110 Nm , mated to a five – speed manual transmission and a CVT. The extraordinarily efficient 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel will churn out maximum power output of 99 bhp and maximum torque of 200 Nm, mated to six – speed manual gear transmission.
The new Honda WR-V will come with redesigned headlights with round fog lamps, diamond-cut alloy wheels and chrome door handles. On the inside, the Honda WR-V gets touch screen infotainment system, Apple Car Play, Android Auto and climate control.
The new Honda WR-V will take on the likes of Ford Eco Sport, Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Hyundai i20 Active and Toyota Etios Cross in India.
Expect the new Honda WR-V to be priced from Rs.7 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi)- Rs.9 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi).

Incorrect Outlet Ground Wire Could be a Shock Hazard
The Danger of Incorrectly Connecting a Ground Wire to a Outlet: Why a Ground Wire Should Not be Used as a Neutral Wire on a Receptacle Outlet.
Ground Wire Shock Hazard
Electrical Question: Is it safe to wire the ground wire to the neutral side of the outlet?
- I have and outlet with a broken neutral somewhere in the ceiling.
- I wired the ground wire to the neutral side of the outlet and it works.
- I get 120 volts.
- What are the dangers of this?
Background: John, a Homeowner from Nampa, Idaho.
Dave's Reply:
Thanks for your electrical wiring question John.
The Danger of Incorrectly Connecting a Ground Wire to a Outlet
Application: Wiring a 120volt Receptacle Outlet.
Skill Level: Advanced – Best performed by a Licensed Electrical Contractor.
Tools Required: Basic Electricians Pouch Hand Tools, Voltage Tester or Volt Ohm Meter.
Estimated Time: Depends on the type and age of the electrical wiring and the access to the circuits and wiring to be evaluated.
Notice: Repairs to Home Electrical Wiring should be done according to local and national electrical codes and installing new or replacement electrical parts or equipment may require a permit and inspections.
Why a Ground Wire Should Not be Used as a Neutral Wire on a Receptacle Outlet
NOTE: A ground wire should never be connected to replace the neutral wire. Make Sure to Avoid Creating This Dangerous Electrical Shock Hazard in Your Home, as I explain below.
- The ground wire is intended to be a non-current carrying conductor for the purpose of providing a bonded path to ground to help prevent damage to electrical equipment and to work with ground fault devices to aid in preventing electrical shock in the event of an electrical short or current to ground condition.
- By incorrectly using the ground wire as a neutral wire you are placing voltage onto the entire ground system thereby energizing all the normally grounded components of any electrical device which is connected to the bonded ground system of the entire home.
- Therefore, when any electrical device is plugged into this outlet which you have incorrectly wired, and return path voltage is produced back into the ground conductor, you are then creating a lethal electrical shock hazard throughout the entire home ground system.
- Lethal electrical shock hazards will then be created in areas such as the bathroom bathtub or shower, any sink and anywhere that a person comes into contact with the energized ground system and a less resistant path to ground.
- This condition also has the potential to harm any electronic device or equipment that is connected anywhere in the home.
IMPORTANT: With the condition of this electrical question, it would be best to immediately disconnect the incorrect wiring hazard that has been created and correctly proceed with whatever method that is necessary to repair the fault with the neutral wire, please see the following resources for further assistance.

"The more he can do, the better he likes it. He's made a positive difference for so many in our district and in the state – and our family."
-Krista Hughes
"Greg has my support because he knows how to make good things happen for educators and students in Utah. He works tirelessly to ensure that teachers are supported, appreciated, and recognized. He speaks for Education."
-Mary Bailey, former Principal of Corner Canyon High School
"Greg has worked to make our city great and has represented our needs in the legislature in an amazing way. He is fair-minded and fiscally conservative. He speaks for us."
-Tami & Jay Minnick, Draper
"Greg Hughes speaks for us. He always listens and is willing to lend a helping hand. He is accessible and always shows up for Draper."
-Walt & Debbie Roseman, Draper
"Representative Greg Hughes has shown tremendous leadership by standing up to special interests and fighting for what is best for the residents of our state. As a physician, I know that the more government inserts itself into the healthcare of its citizens, the greater control it has over them and their lives.
The ACA sought to force states to expand Medicaid to able-bodied adults, many of whom already had private insurance. And the more dollars diverted to that population, the fewer available for people who are already on Medicaid – children, the elderly poor and the disabled.
I care about my patients and their ability to receive the care they need. I'm grateful that my representative, Rep. Greg Hughes, was willing to fight for me, for my patients and for all Utahns by standing up to the federal government as it has tried to insert itself into every aspect of our lives, including our healthcare.
I have confidence in Rep. Hughes' ability to continue representing me and my neighbors well, and being willing to make the hard decisions that exemplify a true leader. He's a representative who speaks for all of us."
-Kelly Myers, Draper
"Draper has improved a great deal since Rep. Greg Hughes took office. As Draper residents, we'd have to agree the changes have been for the better. Draper is considered on of the best places to live in America. Greg's strong voice on the Hill is one of the key reasons Draper City's relationship with state government has been so productive. Let's keep him in the Legislature where he can continue to do us – and the state – a lot more good. Let's keep him speaking for us."
-Troy Walker, Mayor of Draper City
"As Speaker of the House, Greg Hughes has proven himself to be fair, balanced and able to create consensus out of the shuffle of our legislative process. He's a trusted colleague and friend, whose heart is in the right place and whose results speak for themselves."
-Wayne Niederhauser, President of the Utah State Senate

Wholesome, from-scratch meals for growing kids and busy families.
Creating healthy habits right from the start with BFA Cafe.
A wholesome and nutritious diet is an essential component of a child's growth and development. When young children get the high-quality energy, vitamins, and nutrients they need from real, unprocessed foods, they are better equipped to get off to a healthy start and to maintain good eating habits in the future.
We provide three meals a day: a morning snack at 8:30 am, lunch at 11:30 am, and an afternoon snack at 3:30 pm. Each meal meets the State of Ohio's guidelines for meals and snacks for child care centers, but we also go above and beyond to serve food that is wholesome, balanced, freshly prepared, and FUN! Our menus focus on seasonal ingredients so we can buy from local farmers whenever possible. For the foods that matter most, we source organically-grown produce. We serve milk that is produced without the use of rBST or rBGH, and meats are hormone and antibiotic free.
If your child has any food restrictions due to allergies or religious beliefs, we will work closely with you to make sure his/her specific needs are met. You may supply meals and snacks if you feel it is necessary; however, we ask that you communicate with the directors to make appropriate arrangements to do so.
Take-home adult meals
We all know that good nutrition plays a crucial role in our health and wellbeing, but when life gets hectic, that drive-thru can seem like the only option. Our goal is to help you get meals "off your plate" and onto your table.
BFA Cafe freshly prepares all of the meals and snacks for Balanced Family Academy children (no cans of spaghettiOs here!). For the rest of the family, we prepare take-away options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
We believe in real food. That means food that is wholesome, balanced, and freshly prepared. Menus focus on seasonal ingredients so we can use local producers whenever possible, and for the foods that matter most (like the "dirty dozen") we go organic. And, none of this really matters if the food isn't delicious: we're committed to that too.

3.5 tonne van
Do you need a quick pallet delivery?
We have several 3.5 tonne vans that are ideal for same day & express delivery. Our fleet is based in Essex but we usually have vehicles dotted throughout the UK and can usually load within 60 minutes of most major towns and cities. As you can see from the images below a 3.5 tonne van can take several forms. The classic Luton van has a tail lift and capacity to carry 4 standard pallets or 6 euro pallets although weight tends to be the limiting factor when it comes to load capacity. The GVW (gross vehicle weight) for each of these vehicles is 3.5 tonnes and the loadable weight is around 1,000kg.
The Sprinter van can also take 4 standard pallets, although they do not have a tail lift they do have a side door as well as a rear door which gives more options for loading the vehicle.
To enquire about using our vehicles for your transport call 01290 211 807 or email email@example.com and we will happily give you advice and a quotation.

Pilates for Osteoporosis
Pilates is a great exercise for both Osteoporosis and Low Back pain. Like muscles, bones strengthen in response to forces it has to resist. "Pilates is a wonderful means for strengthening the body, establishing efficient movement patterns, and aligning the joints and the axial skeleton. But your bones need additional loading to prevent osteoporosis as well as the general bone loss that naturally occurs with age. We need to move in differing directions and at different speeds to encourage the bone to continue to strengthen," Rebekah Rotstein, expert in Osteoporosis, bone health, and Pilates.
Pilates Benefits:
- Balance, coordination, and flexibility
- Helps with continued bone loss
- Posture and alignment
- Bone strengthening
- Muscle development and strength
- Stability
Pilates for Low Back Pain
Low back pain is usually associated with poor posture and weak abdominals. Pilates incorporates resistance and assistance exercises and training to develop a stronger core in turn strengthening the lower back muscles to decrease and possibly resolve pain.
Pilates Benefits:
- Better posture and alignment
- Body awareness
- Control, balance, and flexibility
- Develop core strength
- Strengthen and build muscle
- Relieve chronic pain
- Support deep postural muscles
*Any person with a major injury to the spine or back or diagnosed with Osteoporosis must have a release from your doctor.

Beaufort News
New Beaufort private school to move into Riverview's building
A new private school offering an old style of education will move into the building that Riverview Charter School currently uses.
Holy Trinity Classical Christian School, sponsored by the Parish Church of St. Helena, will lease the 22,800-square-foot facility on Burroughs Avenue from the Beaufort County School District for three years. It will pay about $181,420 per year.
The school will have an option to extend the lease for another two years, district chief of operations Phyllis White said.
Discussions with the district began shortly after Riverview decided to move into the Shell Point Elementary building after it is vacated this year.
The Rev. Chad Lawrence, headmaster at Holy Trinity, said the school plans a classical education for students in preschool through fifth grade when it opens Aug. 20. Lawrence said the school can accept about 130 students, and each class should have about 14 students.
Classical education focuses on the seven traditional liberal arts: grammar, logic, rhetoric, arithmetic, geometry, astronomy and music, Lawrence said. The school also will teach biology, chemistry and other sciences. Christianity will be blended into the curriculum.
"It's the way that children were educated for hundreds of years up until the last century," Lawrence said. "This is the way the Founding Fathers were educated. It's teaching not just knowledge, but how to think."
Lawrence, who was a teacher in California before entering the clergy, said that when he researched classical education he realized it was in tune with his ideals as an educator.
The school will add a grade each year, ultimately expanding to 12th grade. In elementary school, students will learn the basics. In middle school, students will learn to think critically and build arguments. By high school, students are learning to communicate their views on the subjects they've learned.
"With the classical style of education, you see the payoff in high school," Lawrence said.

Answered by Jean-Yin Tan, DVM, Syracuse Equine Veterinary Specialists, Manlius, NY
Question: My horse has a hoof abscess and has been on bute for a month. Do I need to treat for ulcers?
Answer: The stressful event and any change in routine brought about by the foot abscess, combined with the use of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory phenylbutazone, are all predisposing factors for gastric ulcers. Ideally, if the changes can be predicted, a horse should be started on 1mg/kg of omeprazole paste (Merial Gastrogard in the U.S.) beginning 3-5 days prior to the change, to prevent the formation of gastric ulcers. Since you are already a month into treatment, your horse likely has either developed gastric ulcers, or is not going to develop them. Before instituting treatment for possible gastric ulcers, I would recommend a discussion with your veterinarian on any changes you may have noticed to his weight and condition, appetite, and any signs of discomfort that can be associated with ulcers. His age, breed, and personality can also be factors that relate to his risk of gastric ulcers. Definitive diagnosis to determine if he does need to be treated would be achieved through a gastroscopy.
Question: I have a 32-year-old warmblood with a history of serious ulcers (before retiring.) He was treated with GastroGuard initially and again when he seemed to have trouble again due to being fed inadequately 12 hrs apart. His diet is now excellent and he is holding weight beautifully. He even has his top line back. He is given omeoprazole powder with his food. Is there any point to that powder? Once the ulcers are treated with Gastroguard, is that all that is necessary?
Answer: First of all, congratulations on successful treatment of his ulcers and getting him to an ideal weight! These are all indications that the initial ulcers have healed. However, having suffered from ulcers twice, I would agree that he is predisposed to developing ulcers and should be kept on whatever preventive strategies are possible.
As you mentioned, feeding practices and management are of paramount importance when aiming to prevent gastric ulcers. I would not only recommend small frequent feedings, but recommend that his forage be primarily alfalfa, which contains natural buffers to help with his stomach acidity. It is also important to minimize any changes in routine, and to treat him with medications (specifically,UlcerGard) beginning 3-5 days prior to any trailer rides or stressful events.
Besides management, it is also ideal to keep your horse on some form of medication or supplement preventative. While it is true that the brand name omeprazole pastes GastroGard and UlcerGard are the only FDA-approved and scientifically proven treatment and preventative, respectively, for Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS), I understand that keeping him on UlcerGard indefinitely can be cost-prohibitive. You are correct that many other formulations of omeprazole have been tested for efficacy for treatment of EGUS and have shown a lack of significant effect. Therefore, for treatment of ulcers, the omeprazole powder is not likely to be helpful to your horse.
That said, scientific studies have not focused on testing medications in terms of their effectiveness as prevention for gastric ulcers. Therefore, veterinary practitioners resort to a variety of medications which are believed to have some positive effect on gastric ulcers, such as ranitidine and compounded omeprazole, for prevention. There are also feed additives and nutraceuticals such as aloe vera juice, buffering supplements, and prebiotic/psyllium products. Due to the small number of published research trials on preventing ulcers, there is no true right or wrong answer in terms of which medication or supplement you use. Most recently, a Norwegian feed additive called ImproWin, which is a combination of B vitamins and salts of organic acids, has been shown in a research trial to assist in equine ulcer healing. I hope you can use this information to formulate a strategy that best works for you and your horse.

Just outside of my hometown lives a woman and her sheep. Mrs. Hamilton and her flock have provided me with most of the wool I've spent so much time washing. She used to throw it to the woods to compost and let the birds have their pick for nests after the annual shearing until my dad got wind of this and mentioned she and I should get to know each other. We did and not only did she offer to let me have it, but also delivered it. Such generosity!
As most shepherdesses do, she shears her flock in the spring, but she invited me at the beginning of the summer to help her liberate the lambs from their woolen coats before the harsh Florida heat set in. In the past she's lost a few to stress this time of year and hoped to avoid loss this year. It was my first time meeting the flock, and though we only handled the just weaned lambs I completely fell for them all. The ewes rested happily on the the other side of the fence just in sight and the lambs were lovely sweet things that nibbled my pant leg and Maaa'd! piteously when we haltered them and led them to the shearing area. With their shepherdess mama at their heads they were quite calm even if not entirely pleased with the whirring of the heavy duty shears.
Shearing was hot, tiring and total bliss. The concentration required is the same beautiful focus as sculpting or drawing. It's a study in unveiling a tender form: anticipate where the edges of bone rest directly against skin to avoid prodding with the steel teeth of the comb, manipulate the loose skin around the elbows to prevent pinching by the blades, soothing over the thin skin of the belly taut against the gut. The knowledge imprints on us wholly, in a way that just glancing at the animal in the field can never do.
Lifting their heads with one hand as I slid the shears against their necks elicited a visceral response . . . so near to the act of slaughter and yet entwined in protection. Both are shepherding in the most sacred of senses.
The black one in the front is PeeWee; he was just one pound at birth and survived with the help of bottle feeding.
This one was discovered to be dappled underneath. A watercolor lamb. . .As we finished up and gathered up the bag of short lambswool, the skies darkened and Mrs. Hamilton led her oldest charge, a thirteen-year-old blind ewe to shelter. The ewe of clouded eye tiptoed into the barn among bales of hay and and settled in her own private stall built of hay bales, nibbling feed as the rain began to fall.
I'll return in spring.

Rolling Stone Country had the exclusive premiere of Emmylou Harris & John Paul White's "Kyrie" from the upcoming compiltion, Mercyland: Hymns For The Rest Of Us, Vol. II.
"I'm happy that 'Kyrie' is part of the Mercyland compilation," Harris tells Rolling Stone Country. "Songwriting is and always has been a mystery to me, but it helps to be in the room with a friend like Phil [Madeira], who birthed this one with me."
The call of "Kyrie," or "Kyrie Eleison," is an ancient Christian prayer, referenced by everyone from Beethoven to Mr. Mister — and here it becomes an emotive, fiddle-laced tribute to the way every corner of humanity shares both struggle and salvation, regardless of to whom they pray. "The helpless and the holy, who do and don't believe," Harris sings, "bless us in thy mercy/for all will come to grieve." White's vocals provide a subtle echo on the chorus that is both jubilant and mournful — like the best hymns tend to be.
-Marissa R. Moss for Rolling Stone Country

After barely three months, internet department store Jet.com has already decided to completely review its business model: customers will no longer have to pay an annual fee of 50 dollar. Rather, it will charge retailers a fee for every item sold on the platform.
15 % fee
Its idea seemed simple: in return for an annual 50 dollar fee, American customers could buy products from Jet.com at lower prices than on Amazon. A week before the official launch, at the end of July, some 100,000 people had enrolled in the free trial period and the Amazon challenger boasted it would have some 15 million paying customers by 2020, which would result in a 750 million dollar turnover.
Not even three months later, management has now changed its course: the annual fee is gone as Jet.com will rather charge the retailers on its platform a 15 % fee. It may discount that fee on some occasions, because a household appliance worth more than 300 dollars will only carry an 8 % fee.
"By enabling even more people to embrace this new way of shopping, we believe we can more fully realize our vision of a reshaped e-commerce landscape and deliver unprecedented value to consumers and retailers", CEO and founder Marc Lore wrote on his blog.
Jet.com obviously hopes this will help boost its potential customer base, but analysts fear the new business model may in fact harm Jet.com's biggest asset: lower prices. A small study on the first day showed that Jet.com was 9 % cheaper than Amazon and 6 % cheaper than Walmart. A 15 % fee will not really help increase or maintain that difference...

Posted on September 6, 2013, Mike Sharkey Anon Dev: CA 'Comprehensively Failed' to Test Rome 2
Total War: Rome 2 has 99 problems, but a lack of opinions about its tumultuous launch ain't one. The official Rome 2 forums are in a state of upheaval about the crashing, buggy, glitchy, AI-challenged strategy game, and one post in particular is garnering quite a bit of attention. It's called "Review from an Anonymous Developer." The author, claiming to be a game dev who recently released a "PC game in the Military genre," writes that The Creative Assembly "comprehensively failed" to test Rome 2, suggests publisher Sega led the dev team astray, and believes only the modding community can save it.
Viewed more than 28,000 times since it was posted last night, "Review from an Anonymous Developer" doesn't pull any punches, with author AnonDev stating: "It is my professional opinion that CA have taken what was an immersive, detailed, tactical, and market leading series and have turned it into a better looking but fundamentally simplified and dumbed down version of its formal self. They have seriously damaged the tactical element to this game, taken out tried and tested elements and have replaced them with arcade elements."
The Creative Assembly lost their way, in part, because of publisher Sega, AnonDev claims. He states that his own development team had the opportunity to work with Sega, but turned them down because, "We knew that if we went down that path we would be contracted to release X amount of games at Y timeline, with Z budget, and we took a long hard look at it and decided that we essentially would not really control the destiny of our games, SEGA would. Also worth noting that we concluded we would not have the time to test our game properly…"
Speaking of testing, along with saying Creative Assembly "comprehensively failed" to properly test Rome 2, AnonDev outlines a number of issues that should have been caught and corrected before launch, stating, "If they missed it, they have the worst testing team I've ever seen, or if they knew about it… well I'll have to leave that up to you guys to judge. Either way this is in my professional opinion the worst failing any developer can do. If we are charging you for a game, it is our responsibility to test it adequately."
AnonDev states that he does believe Creative Assembly will address many of Rome 2′s core performance problems, but said that, "it will be the Modders who really fix this game. They will turn the okay vanilla version into something really good. It's a sad day for CA when many, many TW gamers know in their heart that it will take people like DarthMod and others to fix this game…"
While the majority of the opinions in "Review from an Anonymous Developer" have already been stated on the forums and in the many Rome 2 reviews already published, they take on added weight due to AnonDev's claim that he is actually in the industry. That AnonDev chose to remain anonymous is unfortunate, because we can only take him at his word. No matter who he is, though, there's no denying that Rome 2 has some serious issues. Hopefully we'll see a noticeable improvement today with the scheduled launch of the first patch.
And stay tuned. Our own Ben Richardson is reviewing Rome 2, but due to the problems he experienced, he's waiting for today's patch in hopes it will fix many of the core issues and enable him to write a fair review. Check back on Monday.

From veterinary offices to animal shelters and pet training facilities, settings that experience high levels of animal traffic need a flooring system that perfectly suits the unique demands of these facilities. Some specifications will depend on the types of animals housed in the facility, as well as the nature the business, but common themes include being hygienic and easy to clean, low odor installation, durable and safe for sensitive paws and flooring that helps inhibit the spread of microbes. Nevertheless, pet care goes beyond veterinary and shelter care. People tend to forget that the food they provide to their beloved pets needs to come from a professional processing operation; clean pet food manufacturing facilities with proper hygiene protocols are a must. At Tennant Coatings, we offer multiple formulations of epoxy and other resinous animal floor coatings that meet these criteria to keep both animals and humans healthy and happy and help pet food manufacturing facilities fight against bacterial growth and other pathogens.
A three-part, nominal 1/4" cementitious-polyurethane slurry system with aggregate broadcast, for resurfacing interior concrete floors in areas that require thermal shock resistance and slip resistance
A four-coat, nomial 1/16" system, used to help withstand the high demands of a hard working facility, with a silica sand broadcast for added texture and durability, topcoated with Eco-HTS™ 100 for chemical resistance and its aliphatic properties.
Help reduce maintenance costs with a durable and easy to clean wall, a four coat UV-resistant epoxy system with a reinforcing fiberglass mesh and an orange peel finish that is both chemical resistant and easy to clean
A nominal 35mil high-solids, metallic decorative flooring system, with a non-yellowing epoxy, metallic pigments, and a light- stable, chemically resistant urethane topcoat with a gloss finish. This system is meant for interiror concrete floors.
A nomial 35mil, high-solids, metallic decorative flooring system, with a non-yellowing epoxy, metallic pigments, and a light-stable, chemically resistant urethane topcoat with a satin finish. This system is meant for interior concrete floors.
A nominal 1/8" double broadcast decorative quartz system, with one seal coat of a polyaspartic and a urethane topcoat, creating a durable and beautiful UV-Stable system with added texture for more slip resistance and a satin finish
One key benefit of epoxy flooring and other fluid-applied resinous flooring systems is that the facility floor is virtually free from seams or cracks in the final surface. This helps to limit crevices where dirt, bacteria, and other microbes can gather and grow unchecked. Grout lines in tile floors and seams where panels meet in other types of flooring can provide an environment where potentially dangerous microorganisms can flourish. This can become an area of great concern both in sanitary pet food processing and in a veterinary clinic, where many sick animals pass through on a daily basis, bringing in bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants.
A seamless vet floor like those offered by Tennant Coatings is easy to thoroughly clean, and far safer for the pets being treated at the facility. Coated flooring makes it even easier to hose or scrub the floor, while properly sloping the floor towards the floor drain can expedite cleaning and ensure that disinfectants and animal waste are thoroughly removed.
Depending on the species of the occupants, animal facilities may experience traffic from claws, talons, hooves, paws, and horse shoes. The flooring in use should be a system that is scratch resistant, able to bear heavy loads if larger animals such as horses are housed or treated in the facility. In addition to ensuring the floor will withstand the challenges presented by nonhuman guests, it is also important to consider how the flooring will affect the experience of these visitors. Some degree of slip resistance is needed, to give animals and humans alike a safer walking surface, but care should be taken to ensure that surfaces are still smooth enough to be comfortable for sensitive paw pads.
Epoxy and other resinous flooring systems offered by Tennant Coatings can be installed to meet your facility's unique demands of animal care or food processing. In the tradition of industry-leading Tennant floor cleaning equipment, you can expect cutting-edge technology and first rate service from our flooring division.
For some, practical features aren't the only concern - you may also want a flooring system that creates a positive first impression. We offer our systems in a variety of colors, as well as a broad spectrum of decorative flake or quartz systems in solids or blends. Get in touch to find out more about how we can help with your animal flooring needs.

Dancing in the moonlight
On Saturday I was spoily even more by E, my brother and my friends. Thank you all. I got to practice while E prepared breakfast and then we managed a swim in the sea at low tide Petit Bot before our trip to Jersey. Nothing like a birthday swim to clear the cobwebs for a new year - we even received a round of applause from some visitors watching on the beach, little did they know that the sea is actually rather warm these days!
So off to Jersey with the sun shining over head - lucky me, it seems the weather goddess was shining upon all us festival goers this weekend, although she seems to have forgotten that it is July, as once more the rain falls. Mind you what do we expect, it is 2012 after all, the year of reckoning on so many levels, shifts occuring all over the place, so not surprising perhaps that the weather is as gloomy as the global economic state. And while the sun did shine (all those sun salutations paid off!), it was a touch windy, and cold in the wind too! Jumper on, jumper off, jumper on, jumper off...!
Still it was wonderful to get away for the weekend and celebrate my birthday with Van Morrison at the Jersey folklore festival. Not that I celebrated with him per se, but we were fortunate to be right at the front of the stage and I was blown away by his presence (for he is a gift and indeed gifted) and taken to a different world with his live rendition of "dancing in the moonlight". Thank you so very much.
We watched some other good acts too. "The Reck" were over from Sark, in fact they are Sark's no 1 band and very good too. Felt rather proud of them actually. Then there was Nouvelle Vague, who are decidedly quirky, and therefore incredibly mesmorising and uplifting, I could have watched them for hours longer. Not so perhaps Finley Quaye, but Badly Drawn Boy was great and didn't want to leave the stage. There were other too, although sadly we missed the last acts on the Sunday as we had to get the boat back home - typical that the one time you want the boat to be late, it is actually on time!!!
We weren't solely at the festival all weekend - what a great energy it had though, very chilled and laid back with only a splattering of familiar faces from home - as we bumped into old family friends in St Helier on Saturday afternoon and sat and chatted in the sunshine over a glass of bubbles. And then on Sunday we met my Reiki Master (and friend) and her husband who now live in Jersey, for lunch out at Portlet. So while E and Gary got to talk boys things, Ally and got to catch up with our spiritual chatter, which is always enlightening and uplifting.
So now here we are, back at home, preparing for my best friend visiting Guernsey after 10 years away. Amazing how time flies. I have all my new gifts to absorb too, I have been blown away by the generosity, so many more crystals and books, so I shall be vibrtaing with energy and able to disappear into my own book world!!
Plus of course, let us not forget that the full moon will be upon us in a few days time so we can literally dance in the moonlight!! Maybe you can already feel her wonderful energy. Remember to ground down, Yoga will help, it always does, getting those roots planted and feet on the earth.
With thanks, love and gratitude.
