Mikko Lagerstedt is a self-taught freelance photographer from Finland. The scenes we see in his photographs will transport us into a world of fantasy.
A good photograph doesn't just come from having a top end camera. It lies in the skill of the photographer as they believe that beauty can only be perceived with a serene mind.
Mikko's journey into this art form began while out driving one summer evening. Witnessing the fog rising from the fields when the sun came out, made him stop and watch this beautiful moment. It simply inspired him to capture more of these sort of moments.
He loves to take pictures at night and dawn. He writes. "There is a sense of mystery every time I take a long-exposure, and you can't know how the picture will turn out. It is one of the key things that inspires me to capture night photographs."
Take a look at his photos and you'll feel like you're visiting a mystical wonderland!

There's 2 parts to this.
The query itself which is a MYSQL task
assuming id is the primary key. A mysql join something like the following should get you started.
SELECT * L.id, L.fileno, L.type of ownership, L.firstname, L.last, L.sex, P.doe, P.plotno, P.location from Land owners as L join Property as P on L.id = P.id
and if your columns and table names really have spaces in them you're going to need to use some form of quotes or back ticks.
Then you have to figure out how to use PHP mysql, and nowadays people are generally recommended to use mysqli or mysqlPDO, but you can still use the mysql interface.
You connect to the database.
You make a variable that is the query.
You pass the query variable to mysql.
You iterate through the result set and print it out, or whatever it is you want to do with it.
hope that gets you started.

Classically Savion @ Cal Performances Friday night
There was as usual too much to do Friday night in the San Francisco Bay Area but I chose to go check out Classical Savion, the tap wiz who took European classic music back to its roots. I was supposed to see a play... sorry Kim for reneging without RSVPing. I didn't have your number on me. The house was full, subscription base the folks who were looking for Fred Astair and found Kunta Kente. Brother Glover was freestyling on the drums, his feet a percussion ensemble which meshed so well with the string orchestra, the relationship between musicians and dancer in the moment.
Though rehearsed, the pieces felt improvasional/new as Glover twirled around on his toes, kept a steady beat without seeming to move, then when he did, it felt like a train was pulling into a station.
This really talkative white man, a friend of Glover's he said, was next to me. He called himself filling the black girl in on black culture. Drunk, I wasn't certain what level of unconsciousness was operating there. I had to tell him to be quiet. He was distracting and rude, but not as visibly rude as all the people who started to leave as Glover shifted into his last piece Stars and Stripes Forever 4 Now.
Glover was scatting, singing as well as tapping on this obviously inspired number; however, Laura Elaine Ellis, choreographer, dancer, whom I saw afterwards, said she would have liked it if Glover had stopped just for a moment and made choreo-statement on the war in Iraq, Lebanon, the Gulf Region, New Orleans -- anything, then resumed the show.
But I think his entire show was a statement.
I heard Africa in his feet traveling to Western Europe and claiming a heritage which is not limited to one specific geographic region. Dredlocked hair looped into a bun at his neck, smile on his face, Glover stumped, skated, bobbed his head, the smile on his face reminding me of the late Billy Higgins seated behind traps, playing his way to heaven.
The ten member string ensemble performed easy listening favorites --not that they were easy, like Vivaldi's Four Seasons; Dvorak's American Quartet, Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G major, Bartok's Rumanian Folk Dances, Sz. 68, BB 76, Shoskovich's String Quartet No. 8 in C minor, Op. 110, and Mendelssohn's Octet for Strings in E-Flat major, Op. 20.
It was cool watching the dancer interpret these melodies rhythmically -- I'll never hear a classical concert quite the same ever again after this.
Sister Maxine Roach, viola, told a few of us after that the orchestra had been assembled for this tour. Yet, they played marvelously, like they'd been together for years. Similar to a jam session, Glover was literally flying across the stage at times. The amplified platform recreated what it might have sounded like if Glover were dancing on a drum: snare, bass and tom, and the occasional crash of the cymbal, all heard in his feet.
With perspiration leaking through his shirt(s) to the point on the third and final pause it took him longer to return than the first and second go-round. He might have had to take a quick shower.
While he was changing, the bass player (a part of the classical and jazz set) began playing a song that Savion came out dancing to. The choreographer then introduced the orchestra and they all played a solo.
Besides the sister on viola whose Motherless Child...was, well you should be happy they're going to Montalvo, just down the road at UC Davis, were some cool violinists -- men and women...reminded me of Oakland East Bay Symphony, the orchestra could stretch and flex their creative muscles. In great shape, they all demonstrated their creative dexturity: cellists, viola players and bassist and of course violinists.
Glover created an accompanying dance to respond to their riffs on classical songs and music created in the moment. They were jamming!
Between the solos he brought on his pianist, who was cool. The pianist intro a greeting to an old friend -- you could tell The Otherz member knew the dancer well, as another member of the jazz ensemble, the fluist/soprano saxophonist came back, then drummer, Jared Chocolatt, was introduced. Jared was last seen at Contra Costa College Theatre in Hit It!(See wandaspicks.com).
Later on, this sister was raving over the band like she's been to church, or seen the Lord, or maybe both. Her response was something the evening lacked...I'd have to agree with my drunk companion there who got up before the final song and left...disgusted.
The audience wasn't getting it. Too bad the balcony couldn't have filled in all the empty seats where I was. I think the folks who felt the groove, recognized the themes...when Savion brought in riffs from a variety of genres, like hip hop, jazz and blues...were all in the cheap seats.
He needed to be at the Ashby Flea Market, at the Malonga Center, at the African American Culture Complex, at Ashkenaz. He needed an audience with educated ears, not drunk white men who thought they knew best, or the older predominately white audience who didn't get it and didn't want to either.
Calling Savion Glover a protégée of Fred Astair is an insult.
If Glover had gotten the kind of audience reponse our brothers in the circle get when they trade codes and whisper secret messages, maybe he'd have sang a little longer, made that statement Laura Elaine wanted to hear...but well the folks were a bit too sedate or absent and when he jumped off the stage, bowed and waved...that's it. That was it.
The orchestra is headed to Davis for Sept. 28, 7:30 p.m.,Garden Theatre, Montalvo, then to UCLA, UC San Diego... Davis is the closest, so get your tickets now. For the Davis gig tickets are $35/40/45/55/65.

Connie had a wonderful time thinking outside the box for this project! She has created a gift box filled with a beautifully scented potpourri and topped it off with a You Are Amazing tag. Guaranteed to delight the lucky recipient!
|You Are Amazing
Box base:
Score a 12 x 12" sheet of cardstock at 4" on all sides. This will leave a total of 9 scored boxes on your 12x12 paper.
Lay paper flat and at the corner boxes, cut each corner box in half diagonally to create a paper that has an octagon shape as your end result.
Gather to make a box and glue.
Cut piece of card stock measuring 5 7/8" x 5 7/8".
- Score at 7/8" on all 4 sides.
- Cut up to score line on one side each to start forming the lid and adhere to make lid. Only cut 4 times so pieces can overlap.
Decorating the box:Use spray adhesive to attach lacey fabric to the box and trim the edges. Use an acrylic stamp block to press the fabric lace onto the cream card stock so your hands don't get sticky.
Hot glue the string of pearls around the box and tied it into a bow. That was tricky, so make a bow first then glue it on. :)
Decorating the Lid:Adhere lace around the edges using the same spray adhesive and application as the fabric lace on the box.
Flowers:Tear pieces of Paper Egg Cartons (pre-colored) and hot glue to form flowers. Dust with a white ink stamp pad for some color affect.
Top off the box by stamping the beautiful sentiment "You are Amazing" on heart shaped cardstock and nestling it within the flowers.
This is dedicated to all my wonderful Facebook Friends, Family and Quietfire Designers who gave me this opportunity to be guest Designer, who inspire me, compliment me and are just Amazing People!! Thank you Everyone, "You Are Amazing!"

In my last job, I worked a ridiculous amount of hours a week. I'd be up sometimes before 5 am – doing work at home, getting in a workout if I had the time, and going to bed way, way, way too late. I was averaging 4-5 hours of sleep a night, and that sleep was restless to say the least. It was unhealthy. And my body was starting to react to the lack of sleep and stress I was putting on myself. The bad reactions included anxiety, migraines, and so much more.
Recently, I've had the luxury to have a little time off before I start a new job. And I've taken full advantage. I sleep. I exercise. I eat better. I relax. But one of the most important things is really the sleep and taking care of myself. On average I am now getting 7-8 hours of sleep. Yes to some that may not seem like much still, as I know some of my friends depend on 9 hours if they can get it. However, 7-8 feels like a luxury and more than that makes me sluggish during the day rather than refreshed. I could probably go on 6-7 and be good, and I'll keep that in mind for when I start the new job, but for now, I'm leaning more towards 8 when I can.
And what results have I gotten from this rest?
- My skin feels healthier and clear 99% of the time
- I have less headaches and migraines overall (I'm still prone to them, but a lot less)
- I have more energy for exercise, and not just the 20 minutes I tried to get in before, but a minimum of 60 minutes 5-6 times a week
- I have more motivation during the day outside of the regular adulting and chores
- I'm more excited to get up, and not dreading it
These may seem like simple and logical things, but it's easy to forget what good sleep feels like. It's easy to forget what feeling refreshed and well rested is supposed to be. The real normal of sleep. Not the lack of it, that had become my normal.
Cheers to more sleep, people.

ZADIE SMITH IS THERE and not there. In the streaming image on my laptop she sits at a desk, backlit in her book-lined office, her right hand holding a goblet filled with liquid of such a dark crimson that it seems to suck all the other colors from the room. In the dim light Zadie's face looks pale, the scatter of freckles across her cheeks and the bridge of her nose shifting around as if in no fixed position.
Circumstances have forced us to talk via FaceTime. It's after midnight in London, where Zadie is; dark too where I am, in the attic of my house in Princeton, N.J. Despite the 3,000 miles of ocean that separate us, the illusion is that we are facing each other across our individual writing desks.
I don't like FaceTime. The sudden projection into my presence of a staring, homuncular creature always feels strange and violent. It makes me anxious to have to talk to someone like this and pretend they're real.
There's another reason for my hesitancy to credit what I'm seeing tonight. I've just finished Zadie's new novel, "Swing Time," and am still living in its shadow world. Like the black-and-white musicals that feature in its pages, the book is a play of light and dark — at once an assertion of physicality and an illusion — in which the main character, a girl born to a black mother and a white father, tries to assemble, from the competing allegiances that claim her, an identity that allows her to join the dance. This narrator is unnamed, as is the African country where much of the action takes place. The novel cloaks existential dread beneath the brightest of intensities.
I check the digital recorder. It appears to be working. The shadowy figure on my screen appears to be Zadie Smith. And so we begin.
WHEN NOVELISTS talk about what they're working on, they rarely mention subject matter. Plot, theme, symbolism, character — those staples of English class — few of which have much to do with literature, don't come up. Richard Ford has written thousands of passages about the New Jersey real estate agent Frank Bascombe, describing his marriage, his divorce, the death of his son, his health scares and his armchair philosophizing, but when I asked Ford what motivated him to write those books, he replied, "Oh, I just felt like I wanted to write something first-person, present tense." He didn't have to explain this to me. The right voice, once discovered, guides everything the writer does and supplies all necessary information and insight — often enough, things you didn't think you knew.
"Swing Time" is Zadie's first novel written in the first person. This comes as a surprise, given the verve of her prose style in books such as "White Teeth" and "NW." "I was always a bit contemptuous of the first person," Zadie tells me. "I was stupid about it. I thought it wouldn't allow me to write about other people. But, in fact, it allows you to do it in a really interesting way because it's all inflected by the subjectivity of the character. Once I stopped feeling self-conscious about it, then it moved quickly. It did move quickly."
I knew that already. Last winter, Zadie's emails to me became not only more infrequent but shorter. Then things went silent, as they often do when a friend's writing is going well. Novelists are like fur trappers. They disappear into the north woods for months or years at a time, sometimes never to reemerge, giving in to despair out there, or going native (taking a real job, in other words), or catching their legs in their own traps and bleeding out, silently, into the snow. The lucky ones return, laden with pelts.
As much as I missed Zadie, I was prepared to wait a year or two until she reappeared. But by May her new book was finished. One of the first things I ask her, therefore, is how she wrote it so fast. "I went to therapy," Zadie says jokingly, but she soon grows serious and explains, "I've always felt very cringe-y about myself. Fiction is a useful way of getting around it or disguising oneself one way or another. Not being able to write in the first person was very much about that, and self-disgust or anxiety about saying 'I.' I used to sit in front of the computer and have a very tough time writing, and I just noticed, once I was in therapy, I didn't find it so difficult to write."
Like a good therapist I say nothing, only murmur, encouraging her to continue. And then Zadie says something I don't expect, something much more surprising than her previous admission: "It did seem to me, when I was a kid and also now that I'm a grown-up writer, that a lot of male writers have a certainty that I have never been able to have. I kept on thinking I would grow into it, but I'm never sure I'm doing the right thing."
Recently, a number of novels by women have investigated the nature of female subjectivity. Sheila Heti's "How Should A Person Be?" and, in a more astringent mode, Rachel Cusk's "Outline," present female subjectivity as fragmentary or contingent. In order to dramatize such internal disarray, Heti paints a Cubist portrait of herself from shards of memory, taped conversations, lists and dialogue, while Cusk removes her narrator from direct scrutiny altogether, allowing her to take shape as a curiously empty space formed by the currents of talk that swirl around her. The impetus behind such experiments, as Zadie's comment suggests, comes from the idea that the authority a male writer assumes doesn't originate in himself but in the structure of society, which he inherits like a mantle, but which slips from the shoulders of a woman, or just feels ridiculous to wear.
Objections to this theory come readily to mind, foremost the existence of women writers who are happily authoritarian; but also, the likelihood that the same anxiety bedevils male novelists as well. The machinery of omniscient narration can feel as clunky in my hands as, I suspect, it does in Zadie's, for the simple reason that we inhabit the same literary moment. Cusk's assertion that "autobiography is increasingly the only form in all the arts" is an extreme, even absolutist, position. Certainly some of the most intelligent recent fiction has either strong or veiled autobiographical elements, whether you're thinking about Karl Ove Knausgaard, W.G. Sebald or Cusk herself. On the other hand, is there no way to mine one's own emotional and biographical terrain for ore with which to construct other lives? Would Tolstoy or Shakespeare, alive today, only write about themselves?
Before I get the chance to discuss these questions with Zadie, there's a problem with our connection.
"You're cutting out so badly," she says. "Should we phone?"
"Okay, let's just go to audio."
"Let's try that."
WE'RE JUST VOICES now, reduced and clarified. Zadie's brings to mind Lear speaking of his daughter Cordelia: "Her voice was ever soft/Gentle, and low, an excellent thing in woman." I think it must be easy to write with a voice like Zadie's. Any word you vocalize sounds like a mot juste.
Like the narrator of "Swing Time," Zadie was a talented singer from an early age. "In films and photographs," says her narrator, "I had seen white men sitting at their pianos as black girls stood by them, singing. Oh, I wanted to be like those girls!"
Zadie was, for a time. She worked as a cabaret singer to earn money while studying at King's College, Cambridge. Her love of the American songbook and of the black-and-white movie musicals starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers that used to air on BBC 4 are interests she shares with her novel's narrator. "The most autobiographical part in the book," Zadie tells me, "are the passions."
She once showed me, with real delight, a photograph of an unrecognizable, overweight, curly-headed teenager whom she identified as herself. So along with her passions for singing and dancing, there was that: the original ungainliness, the dreaded self discarded, fled from, which remains in eternal pursuit. It's that girl, as well as the singer and performer, that make Zadie the writer she is now.
"Hair is not essential when you look like Nefertiti," she writes of the mother in "Swing Time," but she might be describing herself. Zadie is a glamorous figure now, especially for a writer. Literary cocktail parties are not exactly star-studded events, but those thrown by Zadie and her husband, the poet and novelist Nick Laird, come close. Among the mix of people who show up (and everyone does show up, which is itself remarkable) are Hilton Als, Martin Amis and Salman Rushdie, alongside actual celebrities like Lena Dunham or Rachel Weisz.
Zadie, in person, has an approachable, immensely welcoming air, to readers, fellow writers, doormen, cabbies, everyone she meets. She comes at you with that Nefertiti face, but then she makes a joke, or laughs, and her slightly snaggle-toothed smile puts you at ease, bringing with it all the warmth, chumminess and hugger-mugger family feeling of a girl from the Athelstan Gardens council estate. Zadie's status as a former ugly duckling has given her a provisional attitude toward her looks. "I did not mind dressing up for strangers," her narrator remarks in a passage Zadie admits is characteristic of her own story, "but in our rooms, within our intimacy, I could not be a girl, nor could I be anybody's baby, I could only be a female human."
I ask about that passage. "When I was growing up, just the whole idea of being a girl — it seemed like a lot of work to me. Even now, I will wear lipstick and mascara but I will not do anything else. I won't do my toenails or my fingernails. I was terrible at dating because of what dating involves, the presentation of something."
"You're pretty presentable," I say.
"I am presentable, but it's like Nick says: The moment I come in, it's sweatpants, make-up off, huge crazed Afro."
"Men have never noticed toenails or fingernails on women."
"I know. I also sense that. I often feel that women radically overestimate what men notice or care about."
The work of being female, the performance of gender — Zadie has her limits. Whenever I compliment her on a dress she's wearing, she tells me how cheaply she got it online. If I mention a new hairstyle, she thrusts a Cleopatran braid into my hand and says, "Extensions." Once she called me from a hair salon, near tears, to say she couldn't meet for dinner that night because her hair had "broken down" and she was going to have to shave her head and start over. When we finally got together, I expected her to look bristly headed and traumatized, like Dustin Hoffman in "Papillon." But Zadie sauntered into the restaurant smiling, a mop of "Flashdance" ringlets bouncing around her face. Fake, too, apparently. Like femininity. Like literature. She wanted me to know.
BECOMING A PERSON, of course, means finding your people, and your place among them. For Zadie, who is biracial, this process wasn't easy. She undertook her first trip to Jamaica, her mother's birthplace, under duress. "It was the last place I wanted to be," she says. "I believe my mother had a boyfriend there. I didn't realize that until we got there. I just wanted to be in London with my friends. I was allergic to everything. I was too hot, I was sunburned. I didn't want to belong to the place."
Years later, she traveled to West Africa only to find that the place didn't want her to belong to it. "One of the only things in the book that actually happened to me," Zadie says, "is that I was in the middle of what I thought was some kind of spiritual experience in West Africa, this search for my identity. It became clear after the end of quite a long trip that everybody I had been with thought I was white."
Is it any surprise why someone so multiple would begin life as a novelist by penning "White Teeth," which tries to pack every shade and type of Londoner into its 480 pages, or why now, another lifetime later, that same writer might want to go inward rather than outward?
The title "Swing Time" has two meanings, after all. One refers to the 1936 musical of the same name and to swing music generally. But there's another sense in which swing isn't an adjective defining time, but a verb acting on it. To swing time: What does that mean?
In structure, the book alternates between chapters involving the narrator's childhood friendship, in London, with a girl named Tracey, and chapters when, as an adult, in the employ of an international pop star who goes by a single name, Aimee, she travels to Africa in connection with the founding of a school for girls. The two-step the book performs crosses not only times but continents. The narrator's search for identity is local and immediate, as well as distant and historical. "It just seemed to me," Zadie says, "that what was done to black people, historically, was to take them out of the time of their life. That's what fundamentally happened. We had a life in one place and it would have continued and who knows what would have happened — nobody knows. But it would've gone a certain way, and we were removed from that timeline, placed somewhere entirely different, and radically disrupted. And the consequences of that are pretty much unending. Every people have their trauma. It's not a competition of traumas. But they're different in nature. And this one is about having been removed from time."
The flow of Zadie's voice ceases a moment. I sense that something has shifted in her expression, and for the first time during our interview, I wish we still had video. "I suppose the phrase is quite popular at the moment — check your privilege," she says. "I don't think there's anybody on earth for whom that isn't true. There is no unimpeachable identity from which you can operate in the world from a position of righteousness at all times. Sometimes, at a certain moment in history, people have decided that you are close to that figure. How tempting it must be to grab it with both hands and be that person, the unimpeachable moral person of rightness and rectitude. But you know it's an illusion."
At one point in the novel, the narrator, while in Africa, visits a nearby island where slave ships once departed with their cargo of human beings, bound for the West Indies, America and Britain. Many a novelist might have provided a scene where she gazes out over the water and comes face to face with the horror of it all. Zadie doesn't do this. Her narrator, acutely aware of the pitfalls of what she calls "diaspora tourism," fails to conjure the obligatory images in her mind, and thereby protects the history of the site from becoming kitsch.
Zadie's reluctance to traffic in stereotypes doesn't, however, prevent her from dealing with the history of slavery. In fact, it allows her to find the ways in which that history is still occurring. Early in the book, the narrator describes a mad playground game that erupted in her school when she was 9: "It was like tag, but a girl was never 'It,' only boys were 'It,' girls simply ran and ran until we found ourselves cornered in some quiet spot, away from the eyes of dinner ladies and playground monitors, at which point our knickers were pulled aside and a little hand shot into our vaginas, we were roughly, frantically tickled, and then the boy ran away, and the whole thing started up again from the top." At first, this seems to be a form of sex play. But as the game continues, and moves into the classroom, a change occurs. "The random element was now gone: only the original three boys played and they only visited those girls who were both close to their own desks and whom they assumed would not complain. Tracey was one of these girls, as was I, and a girl from my corridor called Sasha Richards. The white girls — who had generally been included in the playground mania — were now mysteriously no longer included: it was as if they had never been involved in the first place."
This is how colonialism enters the novel, not by the narrator's reanimating its remnants in West Africa but, much more frighteningly, in her finding its deformations and hierarchies still operative in her school classroom, in London, in the early 1980s. Somehow her male classmates have understood that it is the brown girls whose panties they can pull aside; and it is the brown girls who accept this as a natural order of things, all at an age before sex has become conscious. "Those things don't disappear," Zadie says. "They don't disappear."
The present craze for autofiction is a valid response to the anxiety that it is getting harder to make fictional worlds credible. But to insist that the only road to authenticity runs through the autobiographical is to confuse means with ends. Zadie, at any rate, doesn't appear to be going down that path. In trying to find the right perspective with which to treat her fractured identities — as a woman, as a black person, as a British subject — she has moved toward a level of self-expression new to her fiction, while continuing to rely on her imagination to supply the contents of her narrative.
It's very late in London now. We've been talking for a long time, and I want to let Zadie go. But before we hang up, she mentions the novelist Darryl Pinckney. He and his partner, the poet James Fenton, appear as themselves near the end of "Swing Time," and I ask about the eruption of truth into fiction. "Darryl, to me," Zadie says, "is a model of — I can't describe it — but active ambivalence. He is as well read on African-American issues as anyone could imagine being. Yet there is also a part of him which is radically existential. He is absolutely aware that there is such a thing as having been subjected to the experience of blackness, which causes all kinds of consequences, political, social and personal, and at the same time, he claims the freedom of just being Darryl, in all his extreme particularity. I haven't met many people like that."
I get the sense that Zadie wants to become such a person. But when I mention this, and say she already seems that way to me, she goes quiet for the first time all night.
"Oh," she says, and nothing more.

Hey Friends! I've decided to post the latest creation on my demo.
It's still instrumental, since I don't have a vocalist yet.
BUT! I wanted to share it with you, and I hope you enjoy it.
Just some background on this track.
I wrote it many many years ago, and the lyrics(when I gent them recorded) are quite.. sad.
I was going through a rough time, and music was the one thing that held me together.
So after many hours, days and weeks on the brink of mental collapse, this song was made.
The lyrics are in Norwegian, and I believe I posted them on here a some time ago.
It was supposed to be all acoustic, but when recording it, I decided to do it in the theme of Eternity, witch ended up with a more progressive ballad sort of genre.
This may not end up being the final version, I don't know yet.
But here it is, so hope you enjoy it.
Lots of love! <3

I recently attended a craft brewery seminar in which the founders of Smog City Brewing Company told their story. It was compelling and inspiring and made me very thirsty for their award winning Ground Coffee Porter, but I digress. What was not surprising to me is that they engaged an attorney to help them with their lease and according to the Smog City folks, the attorney almost caused them to lose their lease.
I do not know the details of that interaction, but I do know that in my experience some lawyers tend to "over-lawyer" a lease. I try to always keep this story from Smog City Brewing Company in mind because my job is to be on my client's team and certainly not to impede their success. I often have to deliver the gloomy news of certain risks, but risk management does not mean pointing out and fighting about every single word in a lease. Risk management is about identifying potential costly issues in any contract or business endeavor and giving the landlord or tenant the information to make their best business decision.
Risk management means clearly defining relationships, minimizing conflicts and disputes, and maintaining your rights to pursue or defend against any future legal action. Put your business in the best position possible to succeed no matter what obstacles arise.
For some entrepreneurs or business owners, they consider risk management to simply be the act of getting insurance. Most individuals, whether owning or just starting a business, are familiar with homeowners insurance which is certainly a good idea and required by most loan providers.
However, for a business, risk management is about forming and maintaining your business in a way such that if anything goes sideways, you can deal with the problem while continuing to grow and build your empire. Certainly, risk management includes property or renters insurance. Risk management also includes choosing your entity structure, such as a limited liability company or partnership. Every partnership starts out with the best intentions, but if a partner want out of the business, a partnership agreement should be in place at the outset to avoid costly disputes. (More on this topic in a future post). Other items to consider include protecting your brand, logo, trademark, assets, furniture fixtures and equipment, employee relationships and trade secrets.
One of the most overlooked areas of risk management is that very fine small print in probably the most important document you will sign, your lease. I cannot count how many times a tenant has told me that they did not read the lease or have an attorney review it. Trust me, I personally understand as a small business owner, that money can be tight when starting out, but there are certain things such as a lease that if not reviewed by an attorney may cause you major headaches down the line. Provisions which provide for who pays for major repairs like air conditioning or plumbing can be costly if not addressed up front.
Another important area of risk management is choosing a business structure and documenting how the company will operate and terminate if necessary. All partnerships start off between good friends, trusted colleagues or even family, but when one partner wants to exit or change the direction of the business, there needs to be a partnership agreement in place that sets out exactly how the parties go about terminating the partnership and moving on. This is just one example of how planning up front can save time, money and headaches down the line.
Talk with your attorney about taking steps towards managing your risk and taking care of your business. Don't be afraid to have a candid conversation about costs because some risk is inevitable and not worth the cost of eliminating (see Smog City experience above!). You have worked so hard to build your business everyday and it is certainly worth protecting.

Nothing drastic/adventurous--I'm not ready for anything crazy just yet, but it is definitely much needed. I haven't had a haircut since July (!) and I have tons of split ends I need to take care of.

Home to the highest per capita earners in the world, beautiful beaches, and luxury condos, Jupiter Island is a true haven for those seeking relaxation in paradise. The southern end of the island has a few Jupiter Island condos, while the northern end is predominately comprised of Jupiter Island estates. One of those Jupiter Island homes recently went up for sale, and is located at 619 S Beach Road.
Located on 1.7 lush acres with intracoastal and ocean water frontage, this is one of the best Jupiter Island estates for space to roam. With 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, a 500 square foot guest apartment with one bedroom and one bathroom, an air-conditioned 3 car garage, over 6,200 cumulative living square footage, and parking space for approximately 50 cars, this Jupiter Island estate boasts a significant amount of space. Inside, this Jupiter Island home boasts a very open concept living space, with modernized style, a custom chef's kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops, floor-to-ceiling windows in the main living area providing stunning full-on ocean views, sky lights, a custom stone fireplace, wood floors up stairs, and so much more. Out back, there is a brief board walk and sitting area, literally a few steps to the private beach front, a huge second story open balcony with partial roof coverage, which are more features that make this estate unique from other Jupiter Island homes. A quick hop across the quiet two-land road that runs up and down the island, there is a long dock that is electric/water ready, a boat lift, and access to the intracoastal waterway, in addition to a small beach dotted with coconut palms, just more great features that many other Jupiter Island homes on the market do not boast. In a superior location near to all of the amenities and excitement of Jupiter Florida, with comparatively large acreage, lots of waterfront space, and beautiful interior design, this estate is a tough contender in the current Jupiter Island real estate market. Do not miss out on your opportunity to make this Jupiter Island estate your very own.
Jupiter Island is one of the nicest and most exclusive areas of the country. The location is wonderful, nestled between the treasure coast and the palm beaches. The tree lined Jupiter Island streets help shield the beautiful estates from view. Yet once on the Island you'll know why Jupiter Island is so sought after when you see the beautiful ocean and intracoastal views.

Justice William Horkins' recent decision in the high-profile sexual assault and choking case of R. v. Ghomeshi is well worth a read. It is available on the internet. The Supreme Court of Canada requires that all judges give reasons for their decisions that are clear and comprehensible to the litigants, the public and to any potential appeal courts. As I said in my post at effervescentbubble.ca, I consider Justice Horkins' decision masterful, and a model of its kind. He is clear in his analysis, comprehensive in his review of all the relevant issues, and unusually eloquent in his language.
He comes down unusually hard on the complainants in this particular case, not because of their after-the-fact actions with Mr. Ghomeshi, but because they were shown as dishonest and manipulative in hiding this evidence from the police, Crown counsel, and the Court. In my view, R. v Ghomeshi is a case study in what complainants in these types of cases should NOT do before and at trial. Advocates who miss that message do women no favours.
Anyone wanting to know how the criminal justice system works will learn much from reviewing this decision. What follows is a summary of Justice Horkins decision.
- An outline of the charges (paragraphs 1-4)
- The elements of the offences of "sexual assault" and of "choking with intent to overcome resistance" (paras 5-7)
- The background context of the case (paras 8-11). Justice Horkins notes that as each charge is based entirely on the evidence of each complainant, his judgment depends on an assessment of the credibility and reliability of each complainant as a witness.
- The complaints of L.R. as related in her evidence-in-chief (paras 12-24), one describing his grabbing her hair while they were kissing in his car, the second at his home with him suddenly grabbing her hair, punching her in the head several times, and pulling her to her knees, "such that she felt like walking into a pole or hitting her head on the pavement," and she "thought she might pass out." She went home in a cab and she said she never saw him again after this incident.
- Justice Horkins then sets out several areas of concern in L.R.'s evidence, identified in cross-examination (paras 26-44):
- a) "evolving facts" which changed from her three media interviews, to the police statement, and then at trial
- b) her changed position on whether she was wearing hair extensions, which she falsely said she had disclosed to the crown
- c) her inconsistencies on whether he smashed her head against the car window, and her conclusion that she was simply "throwing thoughts" at the investigators
- d) changing renditions of what happened at the house
- e) her "clear memory" of the bright yellow car he drove, which Justice Horkins found "is simply wrong." Justice Horkins writes (para 36) that "this demonstrably false memory weighs in the balance against the general reliability of [her] evidence as a whole."
- f) Although "firm in her evidence that… she chose never to have any further contact with Mr. Ghomeshi," she later sent him two flirtatious emails which she never disclosed to the police or the Crown. (paras 37-44). As Justice Horkins wrote (para 43), "the expectation of how a victim of abuse will, or should, be expected to behave must not be assessed on the basis of stereotypical models." Nevertheless, he found her behaviour "at the very least, odd." Justice Horkins concluded that the "… inconsistencies, and [her]… deceptive conduct…as a witness willing to withhold relevant information from the police… the Crown and… the Court…[made] it clear that she deliberately breached her oath to tell the truth" and that "her value as a reliable witness is diminished accordingly."
- The complaint of Lucy DeCoutere (paras 45-55) sets out the history of interactions between her and Mr. Ghomeshi and the "out of the blue… kissing… and choking and slapping her in the face," which occurred at his home one weekend.
- Again, Justice Horkins discussed the problems in her evidence. (paras 56-94):
- a) He describes her inconsistencies in recounting the alleged assault in many media interviews, her police statement and at trial, all of which "suggests a degree of carelessness with the truth that diminishes the general reliability of the witness."
- b) Her late disclosure of material information to the police and the Crown "despite having the assistance of her own counsel" and "a well-established… line of communication with the investigating officers and Crown counsel" in the months leading up to the trial
- c) Her other evidence of a continued relationship with Mr. Ghomeshi which was only revealed in cross-examination led to Justice Horkins' concluding that, despite direct questions from the police and giving a statement to them after a caution and under oath, she had engaged in "a manipulative course of conduct," "the suppression of evidence," and "deceptions maintained under oath" which "drive my concerns about the reliability of this witness."
- d) Sending flowers and a thank you note to Mr. Ghomeshi after the alleged choking "might be part of her effort to normalize the situation… (whether unusual or not) this was very clearly relevant and material information in the context of a sexual assault allegation" and "the deliberate withholding of the information reflects very poorly on… [her] trustworthiness as a witness."
- e) Her multiple emails sent to Ghomeshi and a hand-written love letter, five days after the alleged choking, showed that her testimony in court (which she gave under oath as her "guarantee" that she had no romantic feelings for Mr. Ghomeshi afterwards) was "simply not true" and was "out of harmony with her evidence-in-chief and her multiple pre-trial statements to the media and the police." Justice Horkins questioned whether her conduct in suppressing evidence may have motivated by "her role as an advocate for the cause of victims of sexual violence."
- The evidence of Ms. Dunsworth that Lucy DeCoutere spoke to her about the choking incident about ten years ago was admitted to offset any implied allegation of "recent fabrication." This evidence addressed a concern Justice Horkins had, and was not one raised by defence counsel. (paras 95-99)
- The complaint of S.D. tells of them kissing on a park bench after a dinner date when "she felt his hands and his teeth on and around her neck… [which was] rough… unwelcome… 'not right'… and… caused her difficulty in breathing.' She said nothing about it at the time and socialized with him two or three times thereafter. (paras 100-104)
- Assessing her testimony (paras 106-119), Justice Horkins observed that, although "some lack of precision is to be expected of any report of conduct from over a decade earlier… it is reasonable to expect that a true account… will not vary too dramatically from time to time in the telling" such that there is "sufficient clarity in the evidence to allow a confident acceptance of the essential facts" (the standard of proof in a criminal trial). Her evidence was too imprecise to meet that standard (e.g.: para 106). The judge was also concerned about possible collusion with Ms. DeCoutere (paras 107-110). He also noted that she met with Crown counsel five times in the year prior to the trial, was reminded each time of the need to be completely honest and accurate, and only at trial did she reveal she had a sexual encounter with Mr. Ghomeshi at her own home, after the incident. Justice Horkins wrote that her "decision to suppress this information until the last minute, prior to trial, greatly undermined the Court's confidence in her evidence. In assessing the credibility of a witness, the active suppression of the truth will be as damaging to her reliability as a direct lie under oath." (para 114). He went on to write, "I accept [defence lawyer, Marie] Ms. Henein's characterization of this behaviour…. S.D. was clearly 'playing chicken' with the justice system. She was prepared to tell half the truth for as long as she thought she could get away with it." (para 118)
- In a key admonition to all witnesses (para 119), Justice Horkins writes that "S.D. offered an excuse for hiding this information… that this was her 'first kick at the can,' and that she did not know 'how to navigate' this sort of proceeding. He replies that 'navigating' this sort of proceeding is really quite simple: tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth."
- The Framework of his Analysis is stated clearly as "it plays the central role in the determination of this matter." (para 120) It starts with the presumption of innocence (para 121), "which is the fundamental right of every person accused of criminal conduct." Interwoven is the standard of "proof beyond a reasonable doubt" imposed on the Crown (paras 122-124), which is the highest standard of a spectrum of degrees of proof used in the legal system and is defined by the Supreme Court of Canada in R. v. Lifchus [1997] 3 S.C.R. 320. Horkins recognizes the challenges posed by the historical nature of the complaints and states the clear law that "there should be no presumptive adverse inference arising when a complainant in a sexual assault case fails to come forward at the time of the events." Similarly, the law recognizes that "there should be nothing presumptively suspect in incremental disclosure of sexual assaults or abuse." He notes that "each case must be assessed individually in light of its own unique… circumstances." (paras 125 and 126) He indicates that similar fact evidence of propensity to commit a particular type of crime is generally inadmissible and that, in this case, the Crown had expressly agreed that each complaint must be determined on its own merits. (para 127)
- Conclusions (paras 128-141) Although he notes the similarities between the three complaints, he indicates that he "very deliberately considered the evidence relating to each of the charges separately." (paras 128-130) He says that there is "no legal bar to convicting on the uncorroborated evidence of a single witness…." (para 131) In this case, he found that "The cross-examination dramatically demonstrated that each complainant was less than full, frank and forthcoming in the information they provided to the media…the police… Crown counsel and… this Court." (para 132) His role was to assess the reliability and credibility of the complainant, when measured against the Crown's burden of proof, and to ask: Does the evidence have sufficient quality and force to establish the accused's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt? (para 133). No adverse inference can arise from the decision of an accused to remain silent and put the Crown to the strict proof of the charges. (para 134) Courts must be "very cautious in assessing the evidence of complainants in sexual assault and abuse cases;" "must guard against applying false stereotypes concerning the expected conduct of complainants," and "… need to be vigilant in avoiding the equally dangerous false assumption that sexual assault complainants are always truthful. Each individual and each unique factual scenario must be assessed according to their own particular circumstances." (para 135)
- The after-the-fact conduct of each complainant seems "out of harmony with the assaultive behaviour ascribed to him" and caused the judge "considerable difficulty when asked to accept their evidence at face value." (para 136)
- "Most troubling to the Court" was his finding that "each complainant demonstrated, to some degree, a willingness to ignore their oath to tell the truth on more than one occasion." (para 137) The Court was unable "to accept each complainant as a sincere, honest and accurate witness" because "the evidence of each complainant suffered not just from inconsistencies and questionable behaviour, but was tainted by outright deception." (para 138) "The harsh reality is that once a witness has been shown to be deceptive and manipulative in giving their evidence, that witness can no longer expect the Court to consider them to be a trusted source of the truth…. Put simply, the volume of serious deficiencies in the evidence leaves the Court with a reasonable doubt." This conclusion "is not the same as deciding in any positive way that these events never happened. At the end of this trial, a reasonable doubt exists because it is impossible to determine, with any acceptable degree of certainty or comfort, what is true and what is false. The standard of proof in a criminal case requires sufficient clarity in the evidence to allow a confident acceptance of the essential facts." Where "the bedrock foundation of the Crown's case is tainted and incapable of supporting any clear determination of the truth… the evidence fails to prove the allegations beyond a reasonable doubt" and there will be a finding of not guilty on all charges. (paras 140-142)

Khusboo, dear if this is the matter then u have to work a lot . 2. 8 years is the time when kids should have totally stopped BF. u have to go step by step. first stop feeding at day time. play with her distract her from you. ask your husband or in laws to keep your child for some time away from u. she will cry don't worry for that. make a specific time to hide from her during day she will slowly understand that mom is not here and she will stop asking for your milk. also feed her well with her favorite generally kids who breastfeed are less interested in solid foods. but u have to give her favorite meal. if u succeeds in this then slowly go towards stopping night feed.
| Mar 01, 2017
every time she wants to breastfeed. during d day also .I have tried putting chilly and neem leaves to my nipples but not worked.
| Mar 01, 2017
have you stopped breast feeding at day time. give her a heavy meal at night and before sleeping feed her with milk or water whatever she likes. when she wakes up at night offer her water first. ask your husband to console and put her to bed again.

The Irvine Valley women's beach volleyball team is back in the California Community College Athletic Association Championship.
After missing out on the event in 2017, Irvine Valley, which won the inaugural title in 2015 and was the runner-up in 2016, will go after another championship next Thursday at West Valley College in Saratoga.
The Lasers advanced after toughing out a 3-2 win over El Camino in a So. Cal. team regional on Tuesday at Granada Beach in Long Beach.
Irvine Valley cruised past Orange Coast, 4-1, in its first match and then had to sweat it out in the triumph over host El Camino.
It came down to the final match on the courts and Irvine Valley's No. 5 pair of sophomore Diamond Brogan and freshman Alyssa Vortouni defeated El Camino's Melissa Euyoque and Kiana Takahashi, 21-12, 17-21, 15-13, to move the Lasers on.
El Camino's duo of Jossie Tomita and Natasha Dutko scored the first win of the match in a sweep for the Warriors over Irvine Valley freshmen duo Gabi Lau and Alma Entesari on the fourth court.
But Irvine Valley's No. 1 pair of sophomore Taira Ka'awaloa and freshman Megan Ramseyer came away with a 21-10, 21-19, and on the third court, IVC's pair of sophomore Hannah Salaya and freshman Emilie Austin won, 21-13, 21-15 to put Irvine Valley ahead, 2-1.
El Camino's No. 2 team of Aiko Waters and Phina Leilua won in three sets over Irvine Valley sophomore Olivia Aguilar and freshman Renata Bath to tie things up, leaving the berth in the state championships up to the result of the No. 5 match.
That is where Brogan and Vortouni pulled out the clutch win. The duo was down, 6-2, in the third set, but rallied to take a 14-11 lead. El Camino's pair of Kiana Takahashi and Melissa Euyoque fought off two match points to make it 14-13, but Takahashi's serve sailed just long on the third match point to give the Lasers the win in the game and the match.
The Warriors finished the season with a 14-6 overall record. The Lasers improved their record to 11-8 overall and they will try for even more next week up north.
Next up for Irvine Valley is the individual regionals on Friday at IVC. The Lasers have two teams involved. The pairs of Ka'awaloa and Ramseyer and Aguilar and Bath will try and qualify for the CCCAA Pairs State Championship.
Irvine Valley 3, El Camino 2
1) Taira Ka'awaloa/Megan Ramseyer (IVC) def. Sophia Loiola/Glorious Owens (ECC) 21-10, 21-19
2) Aiko Waters/Phina Leilua (ECC) def. Olivia Aguilar/Renata Bath (IVC) 21-16, 17-21, 15-8
3) Hannah Salaya/Emilie Austin (IVC) def. Jaylin Motley/Sarah Dyer (ECC) 21-13, 21-15
4) Jossie Tomita/Natasha Dutko (ECC) def. Gabi Lau/Alma Entesari (IVC) 21-13, 21-17
5) Diamond Brogan/Alyssa Vortouni (IVC) def. Melissa Euyoque/Kiana Takahashi (ECC) 21-12, 17-21, 15-13

From 'Scandal' to 'Designated Survivor': Who Is TV's Best President?
The approval ratings are in! Here's a look at the current crop of TV presidents—and how they're faring in the West Wing this fall.
Tom Kirkman (Designated Survivor, Wednesdays, 10/9c, ABC)
POTUS MO Earnest and honest, Kirkman (Kiefer Sutherland)—an independent who was the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development before being thrust into the Oval Office following a terrorist attack—is now a year into his first term. But can his idealism remain intact? "Kirkman's greatest challenge is staying grounded," Sutherland says. "It'll be interesting to see if he's capable of maintaining his values."
STATE OF THE UNION Just because the country has gotten used to Kirkman doesn't mean he's out of the woods. He still faces foreign and domestic threats—including from within his own family. (Secretive mother-in-law, we're looking at you.) Confirms Sutherland, "In politics, you always have to watch your back.
Conrad Dalton (Madam Secretary, Sundays, 10/9c, CBS)
POTUS MO They don't get much more patriotic than the principled President Dalton (Keith Carradine), a Vietnam vet and former director of the CIA. "My goal is to imbue him with as much dignity and respect for the office and our multicultural society as possible," Carradine explains.
STATE OF THE UNION While his actual affiliation has never been mentioned, Dalton has notably railed against his own party's stance on climate change. On the docket this season: His administration will tackle issues "such as the powerful influence of social media and fake news," says Carradine. "He'll occasionally spar with Secretary McCord [Téa Leoni] regarding how best to accomplish the greater good."
Mellie Grant (Scandal, Thursdays, 9/8c, ABC)
POTUS MO As the first female to have this gig, President Grant 2.0, who already did time at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue when she was first lady, knows what awaits. "Mellie is aware that her contributions will be judged through the lens of what she wore or how her hair looked," Bellamy Young says.
STATE OF THE UNION Even though she's surrounded by hidden agendas, Young says her single Republican pioneer is "ready to earn respect the old-fashioned way: no tricks or spin, just hard work."
Olivia Marsdin (Supergirl, Mondays, 8/7c, The CW)
POTUS MO "She is tough," Lynda Carter says of her character, the U.S. head of state. Literally: She has superhuman strength 'cause she's an alien from planet Durla!
STATE OF THE UNION Given her secret DNA, it's understandable why the Democrat is so gung-ho to help Kara
(Melissa Benoist) make things safe for creatures of all origins. Says Carter, "She's doing what presidents do: trying to protect people who are misunderstood."

"Renée Riccardo is always on the look-out for new and exciting art and is often the first to discover great talent," says Kinz. For the exhibition, Riccardo selected a group of emerging artists— Yevgeniya Baras, Osamu Kobayashi, Liz Nielsen, and Vargas-Suarez Universal—who "are all working with abstraction in painting and photography but their approaches are all very different," Riccardo explained.
"Dr. Perrick," 2012-2014 by Osamu Kobayashi.
Riccardo also selected artists Macklen Mayse and Hiba Schahbaz, who, she says, "are creating works that deal with self-portraiture, but they are universal images that could be of anyone."
"Column Hug Series, Attempt #18," 2013 by Macklen Mayse.
"We have great respect for her artwork, and we know that she has a sharp and wise eye," Kinz said of Mickalene Thomas, who chose the work of an artist she knows very well, her studio manager Jeff Vreeland. "Jeff uses elements of collage to create compositions which are equally elegant and disturbed," she says.
"Portrait #1," 2013 by Jeffrey Vreeland.
Ambre Kelly and Andrew Gori "see a lot of art, and they know well the pulse of the art scene," explains Kinz. The duo opted to create an exhibition within an exhibition, titling their section "Chiaroscuro," Italian for the interplay between shadows and light. "There's also a fun tension between the term's art-historical poster children, like Caravaggio, and the very contemporary way we chose to update it, confuse it, betray it," says Gori.
"False Negative," 2014 by John Whitlock.

You might see this bright packaging in your high street store and assume the "organics" label mean its contents are harmless for your baby. But is that really the case?
Organic Baby Products From The High Street : Are They Safe?
I usually shop for my organic products online. It means I can be very selective about the ingredients that we ingest, and with some careful purchasing, I can also limit the amount of lotions and potions we consume as a family. But what about the high street?
I was making a visit to Boots the Chemist a short while ago and was interested to see a whole plethora of "organic" and "natural" labels emblazoned across bright plastic packaging. Look, I've been in the sales & marketing business all of my professional life, so I'm naturally skeptical, but am I being unfair? Are these labels really what they make out to be?
Little Me Organics Hair & Body Wash – available at Boots for £3.99
My baby days are long behind me, but I was attracted to this Little Me Organics Body Wash. The label tells me the wash is made from "Chamomile & Organic Lavender" and states
"I am a very gentle formulation & have no synthetic fragrance".
So far, so good? The blurb on the back of the bottle goes on to say
"Lots of mummys got together to create a range that was carefully selected to be the best for their little ones. Little Me Mmm Moisture Babies uses the safest and most gentle organic essential oils and botanicals to help comfort and soothe baby's skin, whilst Aloe Vera provides extra moisturising care."
Pretty convincing I'd say. However, I immediately noticed that there is no organic certification, by The Soil Association or any other body. So the first question I'd ask as a consumer is "How do I know the ingredients are actually organic?".
Next up is a check on the list of ingredients. I'm no chemist, and so I've used a database of cosmetic ingredients : Skin Deep – from the Environmental Working Group.
What's behind the label?
Ingredients, listed in order of appearance after water (just click on the ingredient name to click through to the full report);
1. DECYL GLUCOSIDE : This product is listed as "Not assessed for safety in cosmetics by industry panel" and with 100% data gap listed, no meaningful result can be listed here.
2. PEG-80 SORBITAN LAURATE : The database lists this ingredient as a "moderate to high hazard depending on product usage". Concerns include "Human skin toxicant – strong evidence" ; "One or more animal studies show reproductive effects at high doses" ; "One or more animal studies show skin irritation at moderate doses".
3. COCAMIDOPROPYL BETAINE : "Moderate hazard". Concerns listed include, "Known human immune system toxicant"; "Suspected to be an environmental toxin", however this ingredient has also been "Determined safe for use in cosmetics, subject to concentration or use limitations – Safe for use in cosmetics with some qualifications".
4. GLYCERIN : "Low hazard. 74% Data Gap". Did you know "This ingredient may be derived from animals."? Other concerns include "One or more animal studies show kidney or renal system effects at very low doses" and "One or more in vitro tests on mammalian cells show positive mutation results".
5. PEG-7 GLYCERYL COCOATE : "Moderate hazard to high hazard depending on product usage". Concerns listed include "Violation of industry recommendations – Restricted in cosmetics; use, concentration, or manufacturing restrictions – Not safe for use on injured or damaged skin" and "Limited evidence of sense organ toxicity" although the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Assessments states "Determined safe for use in cosmetics, subject to concentration or use limitations".
6. LINALOOL : "Moderate hazard". I don't like the sound of this ingredient. The first concern listed is "Possible human immune system toxicant" ; "Recommended restricted in cosmetics" ; and more worryingly "One or more animal studies show brain, nervous system, or behavioral effects at moderate doses" ; and "One or more in vitro tests non-mammalian cells show positive mutation results". According to the EU Banned and Restricted Fragrances, this ingredient is also listed as a "Possible human immune system toxicant"
7. TETRASODIUM EDTA : "Low hazard" with an 81% data gap. The European Union – Classification & Labelling source refer to "limited evidence of eye toxicity" whilst the Environment Canada Domestic Substance List list this ingredient as "Classified as expected to be toxic or harmful".
8. SODIUM CHLORIDE : "Low Hazard. 0% data gap".
9. CITRIC ACID : "Low hazard to moderate hazard depending on product usage" with a 72% data gap. "Restricted in cosmetics (recommendations or requirements) – use, concentration, or manufacturing restrictions – Use is restricted in Canadian cosmetics."
10. DEHYDROACETIC ACID : "Low hazard", 85% data gap. European Union – Classification & Labelling lists this ingredient as "Classified as toxic or harmful" in the category of "products for use around the mouth; products for use on the lips".
11. ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN : "Low hazard, 90% data gap". European Union – Classification & Labelling references "Limited evidence of eye toxicity" and "Classified as irritant".
12. POLYAMINOPROPYL BIGUANIDE : "Low hazard, 76% data gap". Japan's Standards for Cosmetics has listed this ingredient as "restricted for use in some types of cosmetics (concentration limit)".
13. PHENOXYETHANOL : "Moderate hazard, 64% data gap". "Classified as irritant" by European Union – Classification & Labelling ; "One or more animal studies show sense organ effects at very low doses" and a 1980 study shows "One or more in vitro tests non-mammalian cells show positive mutation results" in relation to Cancer Concerns.
14. BENZOIC ACID : "Moderate hazard depending on product usage". Some of the previously mentioned concerns and the 65% data gap lists "Safety unknown for products that may be inhaled".
What do you think? Doesn't sound very organic, does it?
The ingredients list also contains the following more natural ingredients;
"Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice" ; "Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil" and "Anthemis Nobilis (*Chamomile) Flower Oil. Only the aloe juice and lavender are indicated as organic. That's 2 organic ingredients out of 18 listed …
Organic labels on the high street : are you being greenwashed?
I'm not out to run a scare campaign against high street brands – Little Me Organics included. It's really heartening to see organic labels on the increase and there's obviously more demand for 'natural' products. However, just splashing an 'organic' label on a set of otherwise dubious chemicals is not the future of organics as I see it. We're often asked to pay through the nose for an 'organic' label – wouldn't you like to be sure you're paying extra for organic ingredients?
It pays to do your research and it pays to think twice about what cosmetic and toiletries goods you are purchasing.
When it comes to looking after baby's fragile skin I'd think you could do no better than using water. If you need a wee bit of extra power, then perhaps consider an alternative like Dr Bronner's Unscented Castille Soap* – Dr Bronner's soap is completely biodegradable and vegetable-based. They're made with Certified Fair Trade and Organic oils.

Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace.
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one.
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man

In 2003 the Turks and Caicos Government started a push toward regional and international development and it seemed the time had come for the Turks and Caicos to have its own airline. A scheduled license was applied for and granted, and thus began an ambitious expansion project that involved adding international destinations and acquiring larger and faster aircraft. The company re-branded to become Air Turks & Caicos to serve key international destinations, with daily scheduled flights to cities in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Bahamas and Puerto Rico.
Currently we operates six 30 passenger Embraer 120 aircraft with equipped with lavatories, a galley and flight attendant service, 2 x Beech 99 aircraft , 1 x 9 passenger Britten Norman Islander, along with a King Air 200 aircraft and Cessna 401. Returning back into the fleet is the Twin Otter aircraft expected to join in December 2015.
Chairman, Mr. Lyndon R. Gardiner was born on North Caicos in 1967, as the 4th of six children, Lyndon Gardiner learned from his maternal grandfather, a fisherman by trade and a legislator for most of his life, that goal achievement requires unwavering determination and dedication. After spending the first ten years of his business career in finance,he decided to follow the example of his two older brothers and went to Ft. Lauderdale to attend flight school.
He purchased his first plane in 1991 and started providing an informal but popular on-demand air taxi service that he called InterIsland Airways. In those nearly unregulated days of flying in the Turks and Caicos, he was often called out in the middle of the night to fly Medevac flights after having put in a full day. He felt a strong obligation to assist, as a Medevac flight flown by his long-time friend, the late Howard Hamilton, saved his own life after a devastating motorcycle accident on Grand Turk that broke his legs.
By 1999 Gardiner had acquired a small fleet and was running a full-fledged charter service. Realizing that his true potential lay in business, not flying, he left the piloting to others and concentrated on growing his fledgling airline. By 2004, having added several more companies to his portfolio, he had gained widespread recognition for his efforts and was named Businessman of the Year.
In 2013 after operating for 10 years as Air Turks & Caicos, the company re-branded from Air Turks & Caicos to interCaribbean Airways to embrace new opportunities across the Caribbean. See the Brand Page to learn about our new brand.

Risk in Alternative Finance
Risk in Alternative Finance
Roy Armitage, Head of Credit, LendInvest; Jerome Le Luel, Global Chief Risk Officer, Funding Circle; Jaidev Janardana, CEO, Zopa; Ilya Kondrashov, COO, MarketInvoice; John Sun, Chief Risk Officer, AvantCredit
Moderator: Mike Baliman, Founder & Host, London Fintech Podcast
In this session, representatives from five different platforms explained how they think about risk -- including credit, fraud, reputational and portfolio risk. Businesses that have gotten risk wrong have lost sight of what they intended to do, so it is important to understand one's business model and where one's business is at the current moment, Mr. Armitage said.
Mr. Janardana observed risk can come from "failing to do what we intended to do, or not getting the outcomes you want" due to market forces or macroeconomic events. Mr. Luel observed risk is part of doing business, but one can control the odds and have a plan when adverse events occur. Off balance sheet marketplace lenders may not own credit risk, but their investors do -- so it is an important reputational risk for the lender, he added.
The panel also discussed the tension between verification risk and processing customers as efficiently as possible. Mr. Sun explained the progressive verification system AvantCredit uses to assess customers' credit. The system currently auto-approves 50% of loan applications and AvantCredit is targeting 80 to 90 percent, he said.

His biggest do's and dont's for blondes?
*I was gifted the Marc Daniels Blue Cypress Blonde range, and under no obligation to write about it. I've tried it now for 8 weeks, and have been super-impressed. Thanks Marc Daniels!
You look fantastic girlfriend!!! I've never highlighted or colored my hair, but, if I did, I think I would take in your pic as reference!
Your hair looks amazing! Perfect for the upcoming summer season!ReplyDelete
Brassiness is always an issue with blondes my hairdresser has suggested using blue shampoo as a bit of a treatment. Put it in but don't wash it out for an hour. It seems to be working at the moment may work for you tooReplyDelete
You suit blonde so well, I swear by Kevin Murphy products. I've just purchased the blonde shampoo and conditioner to keep the brassiness at bay!ReplyDelete
You're a great blonde too! I've heard good things about Kevin Murphy, I'll have to give them a try!Delete
I was gifted the Matrix Hello Blondie shampoo and conditioner earlier this year and absolutely loved it. Sadly, it's run out now and I've moved onto a different brand which is not doing it for me, I'll be keeping an eye out for this stuff at Chemist Warehouse though!ReplyDelete
Your hair looks lovely :) It's great you've found a style and some supporting products that work for you.ReplyDelete
It is an informative post.ReplyDelete
Wigs Alberta can be worn in a high pony tail and come in various human hair colors and highlighted shades. Check out what every one is talking about. Lace wigs are where it 's at.ReplyDelete

- Energy dependence of transverse mass spectra of kaons produced in p+p and p+pbar interactions : a compilation (2003)
- The data on mT spectra of K0S K+ and K- mesons produced in all inelastic p + p and p + pbar interactions in the energy range sqrt(s)NN=4.7-1800GeV are compiled and analyzed. The spectra are parameterized by a single exponential function, dN/(m_T*dm_T)=C exp(-m_T/T), and the inverse slope parameter T is the main object of study. The T parameter is found to be similar for K0S, K+ and K- mesons. It increases monotonically with collision energy from T~30MeV at sqrt(s)NN=4.7GeV to T~220MeV at sqrt(s)NN=1800GeV. The T parameter measured in p+p and p+pbar interactions is significantly lower than the corresponding parameter obtained for central Pb+Pb collisions at all studied energies. Also the shape of the energy dependence of T is different for central Pb+Pb collisions and p+p(pbar) interactions.
- Energy scan program at the Cern SPS and an observation of the deconfinement phase transition in nucleus-nucleus collisions (2003)
- The history and the main results of the energy scan program at the CERN SPS are reviewed. Several anomalies in energy dependence of hadron production predicted as signals of deconfinement phase transition are observed and they indicate that the onset of deconfinement is located at about 30 A GeV. For the first time we seem to have clear evidence for the existence of a deconfined state of matter in nature.
- Fluctuations and deconfinement phase transition in nucleus-nucleus collisions (2004)
- We propose a method to experimentally study the equation of state of strongly interacting matter created at the early stage of nucleus--nucleus collisions. The method exploits the relation between relative entropy and energy fluctuations and equation of state. As a measurable quantity, the ratio of properly filtered multiplicity to energy fluctuations is proposed. Within a statistical approach to the early stage of nucleus-nucleus collisions, the fluctuation ratio manifests a non--monotonic collision energy dependence with a maximum in the domain where the onset of deconfinement occurs.
- Transverse activity of kaons and the deconfinement phase transition in nucleus-nucleus collisions (2003)
- We found that the experimental results on transverse mass spectra of kaons produced in central Pb+Pb (Au+Au) interactions show an anomalous dependence on the collision energy. The inverse slopes of the spectra increase with energy in the low (AGS) and high (RHIC) energy domains, whereas they are constant in the intermediate (SPS) energy range. We argue that this anomaly is probably caused by a modification of the equation of state in the transition region between confined and deconfined matter. This observation may be considered as a new signal, in addition to the previously reported anomalies in the pion and strangeness production, of the onset of deconfinement located in the low SPS energy domain.
- Particle number fluctuations in canonical ensemble (2004)
- Fluctuations of charged particle number are studied in the canonical ensemble. In the infinite volume limit the fluctuations in the canonical ensemble are different from the fluctuations in the grand canonical one. Thus, the well-known equivalence of both ensembles for the average quantities does not extend for the fluctuations. In view of a possible relevance of the results for the analysis of fluctuations in nuclear collisions at high energies, a role of the limited kinematical acceptance is studied.
- Report from NA49 (2004)
- The most recent data of NA49 on hadron production in nuclear collisions at CERN SPS energies are presented. Anomalies in the energy dependence of pion and kaon production in central Pb+Pb collisions are observed. They suggest that the onset of deconfinement is located at about 30 AGeV. Large multiplicity and transverse momentum fluctuations are measured for collisions of intermediate mass systems at 158 AGeV. The need for a new experimental programme at the CERN SPS is underlined.
- Critical line of the deconfinement phase transition (2005)
- Phase diagram of strongly interacting matter is discussed within the exactly solvable statistical model of the quark-gluon bags. The model predicts two phases of matter: the hadron gas at a low temperature T and baryonic chemical potential muB, and the quark-gluon gas at a high T and/or muB. The nature of the phase transition depends on a form of the bag mass-volume spectrum (its pre-exponential factor), which is expected to change with the muB/T ratio. It is therefore likely that the line of the 1st} order transition at a high muB/T ratio is followed by the line of the 2nd order phase transition at an intermediate muB/T, and then by the lines of "higher order transitions" at a low muB/T.
- Hadron spectra and QGP hadronization in Au + Au collisions at RHIC (2002)
- The transverse mass spectra of Omega hyperons and phi mesons measured recently by STAR Collaboration in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 130 GeV are described within a hydrodynamic model of the quark gluon plasma expansion and hadronization. The flow parameters at the plasma hadronization extracted by fitting these data are used to predict the transverse mass spectra of J/psi and psi' mesons.
- On transverse momentum event–by–event fluctuations in string hadronic models (1998)
- Transverse momentum event-by-event fluctuations are studied within the string-hadronic model of high energy nuclear collisions, LUCIAE. Data on non-statistical pT fluctuations in p+p interactions are reproduced. Fluctuations of similar magnitude are predicted for nucleus-nucleus collisions, in contradiction to the preliminary NA49 results. The introduction of a string clustering mechanism (Firecracker Model) leads to a further, significant increase of pT fluctuations for nucleus-nucleus collisions. Secondary hadronic interactions, as implemented in LUCIAE, cause only a small reduction of pT fluctuations.
- On the measurement of D-meson yield in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the CERN SPS (1999)
- We argue that the measurement of open charm gives a unique opportunity to test the validity of pQCD-based and statistical models of nucleus-nucleus collisions at high energies. We show that various approaches used to estimate D-meson multiplicity in central Pb+Pb collisions at 158 A GeV give predictions which differ by more than a factor of 100. Finally we demonstrate that decisive experimental results concerning the open charm yield in A+A collisions can be obtained using data of the NA49 experiment at the CERN SPS.

The lease-buy agreement creates a partnership amongst a landlord and tenant, whereby the tenant normally rents the house for a particular period of time, and subsequently, purchases the property outright. A deposit – normally 5 to 10 per cent of the buy cost – is normally paid by the buyer, either when the supply is made or when it goes unconditional. To be enforceable, a real estate contract need to possess original signatures by the parties and any alterations to the contract need to be initialed by all the parties involved. So take these variables into considerations before you sign a lease purchase agreement.
Every single calendar day except Saturday, Sunday or U.S. national holidays will be deemed a company day and all relevant time periods in this Agreement will be calculated in company days. To get a much better thought, we need to analyze both the above elements in terms of a lease purchase transaction. The terms of the underlying first mortgage will influence the position of the principals to the agreement for sale.
Include an integration clause in the lease, that the acquire and sale agreement is the whole agreement and any adjustments have to be in writing and signed by each parties. The genuine estate contract is generally not recorded with the government, though statements or declarations of the price paid are commonly needed to be submitted to the recorder's workplace. Before signing a acquire agreement, it really is greatest to read it completely, especially the cancellation clauses. The Seller will draw and register the Agreement for Sale at the Buyer's expense. Any contingencies or agreements listed in a obtain contract are legally binding after both parties agree to them.
If the obtain cost alterations at any time in the course of the loan method, you are going to require to have an addendum designed, listing the new price tag. In the absence of an agreement to the contrary, the seller may turn into liable to pay a brokerage commission even if a sale does not happen, or to pay more than 1 brokerage commission. But when one particular tries to get the Lease Acquire Agreement, he has to come across one particular significant difficulty that is the true estate agents. That new celebration now methods in as the new purchaser and closes on the original Acquire Agreement.
Real estate agents will generally use standardized, fill-in-the-blank forms that cover all the bases, like the ones described in this report. It keeps the property, and any funds, from altering hands until all aspects of the agreement are met, such as home inspections, insurance data, and financing. You will get a new buy agreement type from the seller, which will likely keep some clauses the very same and modify other folks – such as upping the obtain price tag, enabling for a lot more time prior to the closing or removing contingencies you've integrated in your version of the document.

great article Phil. For the first time in 50 years we can truly begin to consider realistic options for thawing relations. The Cubans appear ready to respond to US moves - ending the 2004 restrictions, renewal of migration talks, academic and people to people contacts. If those go smoothly then it could get interesting. How it unfolds remains unclear and will depend on genuine willingess to keep going forward.

President Macron has made a valiant effort to avoid embarrassing the American people by pretending not to have noticed that the current White House squatter is a shrieking baboon.
At a news conference today the French president stoically acted the part of a man doing politics with another world leader – rather than that of horrified witness to the rank den which the violently aggressive primate has made inside 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Macron said "We have been having
