Office dress codes around the world have always existed in some shape or form.
Businesses like American Apparel and Abercrombie & Fitch have guidelines that state things like, "eyebrows must not be overplucked," and staff must wear clothing "consistent with the current fashion season and colour". It was only in 2012 that Disney allowed its male employees to grow a beard or not be clean-shaven, while Newsweek's new owners in 2013 banned miniskirts, baseball caps and "neglected hair".
Now, thanks to a proposed law in Canada and a petition in the UK, the topic of workplace dress codes has been brought to light again.
In British Columbia, a recently proposed law to bring an end to workplace discrimination and dress codes is getting support, while a UK protest against forcing female employees to wear high heels led to a parliamentary debate. In fact, on March 8th the British Columbia Green Party leader Andrew Weaver introduced a bill to ensure "employers do not set varying footwear requirements for their employees based on gender, gender expression or gender identity".
So, what the big deal about what people wear to work?Well, dress codes likely began as a way to show customers and people outside various offices that the people who worked there were professional, reliable and trustworthy. In many cases, a dress code is often enforced to create a sense of harmony and collaboration - kind of like a school uniform, where no one can get picked on about how they look if everyone looks the same. Some businesses say this has a knock-on effect to productivity.
The issue comes to light, however, when businesses in today's modern age continue to impose outdated or sexist dress codes, such as not letting women wear trousers or forcing them to wear high heels.
Casual FridaysMany businesses across various industries introduced the idea of a more business casual day - at least one per week - in an attempt to give employees more freedom with their attire.
There's no doubt that in some offices, typically in a more traditional setting, this arrangement can work. But more often than not, companies don't truly encourage the casual attire, and it can end up driving a wedge between employers and employees, rather than make them happier and more productive.
In fact, there's not a lot of proof that strict dress codes equal higher productivity - but there is proof of the opposite. Take Google, for example. The search giant's lack of formal dress code means employees are often working in shorts and flip flops, but it certainly hasn't hindered the business. It's constantly ranked as one of the best companies in the world to work for.
But what you wear does matterWhile your office might not have a strict dress code, what you wear to work or to an interview does have an impact on how you are perceived by others, or your likelihood at landing that job.
Even if you work in a casual setting - say, an advertising agency - it still might not do you any favours to strut around in baggy jeans and stained t-shirts. Being presentable and professional should always be important. Besides, it's possible to dress casual and not look like a slob!
On the other hand, if you work at a more traditional business, such as a bank, you might not have a formal dress code, but could find yourself being held back by not adhering to certain unspoken rules.
Rightly or wrongly, the topic of dress codes is still being debated. Our advice? Stay professional, no matter what. If you have an issue with your company's dress code, take the time to chat about it in a civilised manner with your corporate HR, rather than outright protesting it. Chances are you can come to happy medium!

Conservative political commentator Ann Coulter is demanding answers after receiving sassy tweets from Delta Airlines in response to her complaints about having her seat reassigned on a flight from New York LaGuardia to West Palm Beach, Fla., Saturday.
"They've been unbelievably arrogant," Coulter said during an appearance on "Fox & Friends" Tuesday.
"They say it was inadvertently given away, inadvertent," Coulter said. "No, you have to go into the computer and change the ticket and print out two new ones. That's not inadvertent."
According to Coulter, a Delta gate agent "snatched" away the boarding pass that listed her preselected seat and assigned her a different one in the same row due to an "emergency." Coulter says she took the seat she originally booked and was asked to move to her new seat by a flight attendant.
The situation devolved into a Twitter feud between Coulter and the airline on Monday when Coulter took to Twitter to voice her frustrations.
Suckiest @Delta moved me from my PRE-BOOKED SEAT & gave it to some woman, not elderly, child, or sick. I have pictures so don't lie, @Delta!
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) July 16, 2017
If you thought it was about $30, @Delta, why didn't you give this woman $30 and let me stay in my PRE-BOOKED, ASSIGNED seat? pic.twitter.com/sR1g8tuRWX
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) July 17, 2017
Suck-ass @Delta spends all this $$$ on beautiful aircraft & then hire Nurse Ratchets as flight attendants & gate agents.
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) July 16, 2017
Delta quickly responded, offering her a refund and a scolding.
@AnnCoulter We're sorry you did not receive the preferred seat you paid for and will refund your $30. (cont.)
— Delta (@Delta) July 16, 2017
@AnnCoulter Additionally, your insults about our other customers and employees are unacceptable and unnecessary.
— Delta (@Delta) July 16, 2017
Coulter views the airline's response as inappropriate, saying that the change cost her her comfort and time, in addition to $30.
"They are lying so much about this, and that was one of the snarky tweets they sent out," Coulter said.
"Apparently Delta isn't familiar with its own aircraft. As a frequent flyer, I am and on the right side of the aisle 15, you have a lot more legroom," said the 6-foot-tall Coulter. "It's a good seat. There's a reason I went on at Delta's invitation and picked this particular seat."
Delta airlines did not immediately respond to Yahoo News' request for comment.
Late night TV hosts and thousands of Twitter users took the airline's side in the dispute however, many criticizing her for complaining about the loss of her seat after writing a book criticizing liberals for acting like "victims."
I totally get it. It costs me 75k to brush my teeth. I must pre-select a brush, investigate types of paste, and periodically spit bullshit❄
— Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) July 17, 2017
I can't believe Ann Coulter has managed to make normal people sympathize with a Big Three airline.
— Matthew Yglesias (@mattyglesias) July 17, 2017
"Wow. People, this is the civil rights struggle of our generation," Trevor Noah, host of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" joked on Monday. "How long will white women be asked to move to the back of, well not the back, but just slightly over, two seats. Ann Coulter is basically airplane Rosa Parks. I can't wait for the inspirational film about her story."
Coulter, however, is not backing down.
"They may think this is very witty to be firing back at me on Twitter after behaving rudely," she said. "Again, no explanation, no apology, just here, you have to move for this other person. What is the reason for that? I mean they've had four days to investigate. Why did they do this?"

If you are selling a product online, either your own or someone else's through affiliate marketing, chances are you are wondering how you can increase your website sales. While there are actually quite a few things you could do to improve the number of sales and commissions you make, there are a few basics that you should understand and master first. I have compiled a few things you can start doing today to better monetize your site and increase the number of sales you are making.
1. Drive More Traffic
The number one reason why most websites aren't performing well is because they aren't receiving enough visitors. If they are, the visitors don't belong to their target demographic. To sell more, you need to drive more traffic to your website of people who are looking for your product. This is completely different than traditional marketing or sales. Pushy salesmen at Costco or mall shoe stores usually try to sell to people who aren't interested in a new $3000 TV or $500 pair of shoes, but they pressure them anyway. This approach doesn't work online. People who are not interested in your products have no incentive to stay on your site, if they were even somehow visitors at all. In internet marketing, you have to drive more potential customers to your website who are already looking for a TV or pair of shoes (for example). By narrowing your audience, you are actually expanding your chances of more sales.

Gary: (entering room) Oh man, what is up? Darren right?
Darren: How did you open the door?
Gary: I'm Gary your roommate? We talked on the phone?
Darren: Last August?
Gary: Right yeah exactly. So glad you're not some weirdo, haha, on the phone you sounded like a creep, but you actually seem pretty chill.
(Gary drops his backpack onto an empty bed in the corner, it's just a mattress on a frame.)
Gary: Sick, so you brought the TV.
Darren: I'm sorry. I'm a little confused.
Gary: No worries. Wo, tight. Red Hot Chili Peppers. Can I burn this?
Darren: No.
(Sitting down on the mattress, he takes a beer can out of his pocket and opens it)
Gary: Got a lot of catchin' up to BREW! Haha. Are all the hot girls taken? Who's the blond across the hall?
Darren: That's Stephanie. You shouldn't be drinking in here though.
Gary: God, I hate our R.A. She's such a bitch.
Darren: He.
Gary: He's such a loser. It's like, who lives in the dorms when they don't have to?!(Getting up, putting his hands on his hips and inspecting the room) I'm gonna rush. I walked by the Alpha Zeta, umm what's the Greek letter that looks like a T? Anyway, it looked like they have a pretty chill scene over there, and the brotherhood is unparalleled.
Darren: Probably too late to rush.
Gary: Who pays for friends anyway? I'm an independent party animal! What's the deal with classes. Soooo much reading! Right?
Darren: Yeah well, last semester is over, and now it's the second semester and midterms are next week.
Gary: Jeez, looks like I gotta sweet talk my profs! Haha.
Darren: Well you needed to sign up for classes first, technically you don't have any professors yet.
Gary: Sure, sure. Maybe I should do that now? Is it like an online thing? What's the PW for wireless? (Putting up a poster that says: HELP WANTED: DEAD OR ALIVE) You like this poster? Me and my cousin started a poster store last year, lemme know I can hook you up.
Darren: I'm good.
Gary: FRESHMAN YEAR!!!! So weird.
Darren: I'm gonna go brush my teeth.
(Darren leaves the room, takes one step and realizes he forgot his toothbrush. He turns around and notices a tie on the doorknob. He opens the door and Gary is already having sex with Stephanie.)
Gary: DUDE! Ever heard of knocking?!

Viscosity Lube Oil Testing
The viscosity of lube oil (VIS) is technically described as a fluid's resistance to flow with respect to temperature. Two temperatures are routinely employed for most oil analysis, 40oC and 100oC. Occasionally a very low temperature VIS may be performed in problem solving mode, but not routinely.
VIS determinations in most labs consist of oil baths heated to one of the two referenced temperatures. A small sample of the oil is heated in a capillary tube until it reaches equilibrium with the bath temperature. The oil is then caused to flow vertically downward via gravity through a measuring volume area within the tube and timed as it flows through that area. The lubricant viscosity is calculated based on the time spent in the measuring area.
Off-Line, most labs use VIS baths that are usually semi-automated or fully automated.
On-Site testing may include a variety of flow resistance measurement techniques performed at non-standard temperatures and, while perhaps not as accurate as VIS baths and tubes, will normally yield sufficiently accurate results with good repeatability. Some of these techniques involve heating the oil to the desired standard temperature before measuring, thus achieving a higher degree of precision.
On-Line uses vibration or acoustic technology to provide an inferential VIS measurement at lubricant operating temperature that may be extrapolated to standard temperatures.
Reporting Units: The standard unit of reporting VIS @ 40°C or 100°C is the centistoke, usually abbreviated cs or cSt or cST. VIS determined at 40°C is reported as "ISO" (International Organization for Standardization) grades per table below. VIS at 40°C is usually reserved for industrial fluids (gears, hydraulics) where the test and operating temperatures are similar.
VIS determined at 100°C is reported as "SAE" (Society of Automotive Engineers) grade per table below. VIS at 100°C is usually reserved for mobile applications such as engines, differentials and power shift transmissions, again reflective of operating temperatures.
* Asterisks indicate a 'w' (Winter) designation for cold temperature specification purposes.VIS Application by Temperature:
VIS General Information:
While one frequently hears that VIS is the most important property of oils (with good reason), it can be a slightly misleading statement for in-service (used) oils as there are several reasons that a VIS might change from the lube's fresh starting value. It is not unreasonable to have a VIS appear to be 'normal' when, in fact, there are two undesirable factors affecting it in two directions, e.g., a fuel diluted oil that is also loaded with fuel soot. The liquid fuel lowers the lube oil viscosity, while the soot raises it. The result may be an acceptable VIS, but two problems that need attention. Luckily those properties are routinely tested for, as well, and the riddle can be solved with proper diligence.
Here is a table of VIS effectors:
Things to Note regarding the viscosity of lubricating oil:
- The ISO scale has an unusual 'feature' (not a benefit)… there is a 'gap' between one grade to the next where a result meets neither grade's specification range. Note that a result of 17.5 at 40oC meets neither the ISO 15 or ISO 22 specification. Yes, that's rather silly, but there's a ready workaround. Most people evaluating test data usually extend or extrapolate the bottom of the higher range and the top of lower one in equal proportion, closing the gap, thus resolving the matter in logical fashion
- Solvents usually test like fuel. Avoid using solvents in sampling suction tubes prior to collecting a sample so as not to skew a fuel dilution determination. Use fresh, clean tubing each time

You wanna talk old school Cuban cafeteria? Los Bobos is located in the warehouse area near Rowland Coffee Roasters (Cafe Bustelo and Pilon) in a pretty non-descript building. They've been doing their thing here for over 30 years. There are no seats, only standing counter space. And you will find a great cross section of Miamians eating here, anyone from truckers to guys in suits stopping in for a Cafecito. There is no pretense here just great home cooked style Cuban food with friendly service. It's important to mention that Los Bobos is cash only but there is an ATM inside.
*Before I say a few words about the food I'd like you to know in the spirit of full disclosure that I am friends with the Llizo family who owns Los Bobos. I have been eating here since I was a kid that could barely reach the counter. There's even a sandwich named after my father, el Serafin (Fried Eggs, Bacon, Cheese & Hot Sauce) on the menu. The sandwich is very good by the way.
Since Los Bobos is only open till 3PM on weekdays and 2PM on Saturdays I always find myself having breakfast here. If you're an early bird, the good news is they open at 5:30AM. The Pan con Tortilla (Omelette Sandwich) is excellent but make sure to get the Swiss Cheese, Ham and Chorizo combination. It's a morning home run. The Chicharrones are crunchy with that little piece of squishy pork I long for, not in an amorous way but I do love them. You can only get these fellas Monday through Friday so plan accordingly.
The Medianoche is one the best in the city which is why I invited them to be a part of the Medianoches & Mixology event that I curated at the 2014 South Beach Wine & Food Festival.
There are daily specials of course as any good Cuban joint will have. Saturdays you can find Pan con Lechon and Tamal en Hoja (served on the husk). The Pan con Lechon from Los Bobos is the real deal. These guys know Pork. I'm not trying to take anything away from the Tamal (which is good) but the sandwich deserves to get scheduled on your calendar for a visit.
What's a cafeteria without homemade desserts? The Flan or Dulce de Leche Cortada (Curdled) would be my two suggestion, both creamy but not overly sweet.
You can assume that Los Bobos makes a mean Cafecito or expresso, they do. Those of you afraid to say the word publicly, let's get in some practice together: Ca-fe-cee-to. Ca-fe-cee-to. Got it? Good now stop messing around and go eat from Los Bobos, a part of the real Miami.
P.S.: It might help to speak Spanish.
Los Bobos
5600 NW 79th Ave Doral, FL 33166
*The best part is that I'm known as Serafin's son at Los Bobos, nothing has changed in thirty years.

JERUSALEM — Three gunmen who crossed into Israel from Egypt's Sinai Peninsula on Friday were killed in a firefight after killing one Israeli soldier on the border and wounding another, the Israeli army said.
It was the latest of several cross-border attacks that have stirred Israeli concern about a rising security threat from Islamist militants in the Sinai region, where lawlessness has spread since the Egyptian revolution last year.
The gunmen crossed in a mountainous area along the desert frontier where Israel is working to complete a fence, said Capt. Eytan Buchman, an army spokesman.
The steel barrier was intended to keep out illegal African migrants who have streamed into Israel from Sinai in growing numbers in recent years, but it is increasingly seen also as a bulwark against armed infiltrators.
Israeli soldiers who were securing the construction zone were fired on from about 100 yards away as they fetched water for a group of migrants who had reached the border from the Egyptian side, the chief of the army's southern command, Maj. Gen. Tal Russo, told reporters.
An additional Israeli force sent to the scene engaged the gunmen, and during the exchange of fire an explosive belt worn by one attacker detonated, Buchman said. He said the clash unfolded at Mount Harif, about halfway between the Gaza Strip and the southern Israeli resort city of Eilat.
The army said the gunmen wore camouflage uniforms and ammunition vests and had stockpiled three launchers for rocket-propelled grenades, an explosive belt and a machine gun in a nearby pit, suggesting that they had planned a larger assault.
Russo said the attack was "apparently by global jihad," a reference to al-Qaeda-inspired groups who are believed to be operating in Sinai and have posted videos taking responsibility for previous attacks.
"We will reach anyone who dispatched this attack, and we will settle accounts with him," Russo said.
An attack by militants last month on an Egyptian base near the border town of Rafah left 16 soldiers dead, prompting a broad crackdown by reinforced Egyptian units dispatched to Sinai. In that attack, the militants commandeered two vehicles and burst across the border with Israel before being stopped by Israeli forces.
In June, militants who crossed into Israel attacked vehicles carrying a crew working on the border fence, killing one worker. In August 2011, an attack on a border road north of Eilat left eight Israelis dead.
Islamist militants and local Bedouin tribesmen have also assaulted Egyptian police stations in Sinai and blown up pipelines carrying natural gas to Israel.

On Friday, September 8, 2017, Lagos State Ministry of Education hosted Heads of Primary and Secondary schools in Lagos State in the Herbert Macaulay Library, Yaba for a CodeLagos stakeholder's session. This was done as part of preparation for the official launch and roll out of new coding centre in the 2nd phase of the project.
Present at the session were principals of government schools – both Primary and Secondary – as well as privates schools from across the State including members of The Association of Private Educators in Nigeria (APEN).
In her welcome address to the stakeholders, the Director-General, Office of Education Quality Assurance, Ministry of Education, Mrs. Ronke Soyombo appreciated the attendees for not just honouring the invitation but embracing the vision of CodeLagos as a timely initiative by the Government. She later enjoined them to support the project in their various schools.
The Special Adviser to the Governor on Education, Mr. Obafela Bank-Olemoh was also on ground to interact with the school principals and head teachers. He explained to them the various components of the implementation process of the project. He also reiterated the commitment of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to the project and the need for their full support. In his word, "We as government can't achieve the goal alone; we need you to become champions of the project in your associations and schools".
The session was very interactive; participants engaged the project team, asking questions and giving their suggestions on how the project's objectives can be achieved.
In September, 2017, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode will launch the 2nd phase of CodeLagos which will have more schools, most of which were represented in Friday's session commence the CodeLagos training.

In the bizarre new world created by Ottawa and Washington D.C., healthy companies—hello Ford, Toyota, and other non-troubled automakers and their employees—are punished due to General Motors and Chrysler; the latter gave away the farm on pay, pensions and health benefits and apparently have managers, employees, and retirees who now expect others to pay for such profligacy, this as if there exists a right to the paycheques of others.
In the real world, only 38 per cent of Canadians have a company or union pension; many of those, and also the 62 per cent who must provide for their own retirements, will also now pay for GM and Chrysler pensions.
In the upside-down world created by U.S. president Barack Obama's tight links to American labour, those who lent GM and Chrysler money in good faith—not just those in blue suits but the money they manage which belongs to retired teachers, your grandmother and other folks—are told their legal rights should be foregone; they are told their interests must come third (and for pennies on the dollar) after governments that send good public money after bad managers, and after autoworkers' unions who helped sink GM and Chrysler in the first place.
In the economic world created by both Democrats in D.C., and—I'll take a wild guess—by Conservative M.P.'s from southern Ontario who plumped for "aid" to the auto industry, a federal deficit estimated at "only" $35-billion in late January will now end up at closer to $50 billion.
If, as is now estimated, the total bailout package delivered to GM and Chrysler reaches $13 billion from the federal and Ontario governments alone (excluding the Americans), the math becomes simple: most of additional federal deficit this year is directly attributable to the auto bailout and thus to southern Ontario Conservative MPs.
In the consumer world now bent out of all recognition by government fiat, consumers who recently bought a Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Toyota, Volkswagen, or some other automobile, may have assumed that purchase was their only contribution to an automaker's bottom line.
Not quite. Here's a figure to consider: According to auto industry analyst Dennis Desrosiers, automobile sales in Canada in the first four months this year totalled 428,500 (down 20 per cent from last year). Subtract the vehicles sold by GM and Chrysler, and 294,675 automobiles were sold by other automakers between January and the end of April.
Assume that automobile sales and market share market will remain constant for the next eight months. Thus, almost 1.3 million automobiles will be sold in 2009 with just over 884,025 moved off the lot by everyone except Chrysler and GM.
Now suppose that instead of billing the public treasuries of Ottawa and Ontario $13-billion for a GM-Chrysler bailout, every consumer who purchases a new automobile in 2009 was billed directly for their "share" of the bailout.
In other words, suppose governments in a rare moment of taxation honesty, added a "GM-Chrysler bailout tax" to every automobile customer's invoice. This year, a $13-billion bailout billed to non-Chrysler-GM purchases, i.e., to just over 884,000 new automobiles, means each buyer would each face an additional auto tax of $14,705 (and forty-seven cents for those who like to be precise).
In a recent interview, a reporter half-objected to my standard reply on corporate welfare: it is lousy policy, unfair to competitors and their employees, costly to taxpayers, and as such is as dumb as the proverbial sack of hammers.
"Yes" he replied, "but given the reality of politics, what options would you suggest?"
His question assumed a lot, not least of which is that politicians have no control over policy.
Politicians can't control the weather and many other events in and outside of politics; they can decide whether to spend public cash, the equivalent of $14,700-plus for every new, non-GM/Chrysler vehicle sold in 2009.
Because of an inability to say no to another bailout, the political class in Ottawa, to say nothing of the worse problem in Washington, have indeed created that $14,705 reality. It is the rest of us who will pay for it.

Manga of the Moment~
This manga is a little different then some of MCPL's other titles. It's set in Utah and is about a boy named Elvis Spillane who is trying to break into the film industry, along with his friends Ed and July. The life of a twentysomething slacker has its ups and downs, but that's nothing new to Elvis, whose unusual childhood was spent growing up in rural Utah, raised by his mother and grandmother in a bed-and-breakfast called Hotel Africa. While spending time with his friends, Elvis reflects on his childhood memories: the travelers who passed through the hotel, the ways they touched his life, and how he might have touched theirs. – For Older Teens 16+
This manga is well drawn and has an interesting story line. If you would like to try something different, check out this title.

Men have a tendency to collect things. Be it football cards, sneakers, empty whiskey bottles or vinyl records, we will keep a whole bunch of it. But vinyls have something extra special.
Enthusiasts agree that listening to your favourite track of a vinyl record is like hearing the band perform in the room itself. The organic and flavourful sounds that resonate in your ears through a vinyl record is second to none. However, before you can begin to start your record collection, one should start with a decent record player.
When you've got a proper turntable, hook it up to a decent speaker or headphones to fully enjoy your records. Judging from the suggested turntables, the price range is usually upwards of RM1,000 and above, which is a pretty good figure when you think about it, seeing as you'll be investing in a life long hobby. According to one of our guys, whatever you do, buying one of those hip looking machines ain't the way to go. "You'll be so disappointed afterwards."
To get you started on listening to vinyls, we asked some of our friends—DJs, a store owner and a vinyl fan—for some tips and recommendations:
"If you need a turntable to start listening to your records, you might as well pick something that can harness the superior sonic quality of vinyl. The many variations of Pro-Ject Debut and Rega RP1 are two solid recommendations. You can also look at a used Technics SL-1210, these are built like tanks and are very robust, great for a first time user. Make sure that you have a decent needle fitted in your first turntable, try an Audio Technica AT95 or a Shure M35X, these are inexpensive but good value for money." —Xes Xes Loveseat, part-time DJ.
"Denon dp 300-F, its affordable and easy to use. There's Rega RP-1 or Pro-Ject essential II which are good too." —Alex ASquared, DJ.
"A Pro-Ject Essential II or Rega RP1 good turntable for starters. The thing about turntables is that you should not get it too cheap. Especially those with that built in speaker type.It might spoil the records. Get a proper one... then get full vinyl ability... or else you might be better off just sticking to CDs." —Radzi Jasni, owner of Teenage Head Records.
"Audio Technica LP-AT60, its affordable and fully automatic making it easy to listen to even before you go to sleep. Since it's automatic, it stops when the record finishes playing." —Irman Hilmi, collector and editor for malaysia.my

Update on transitional measure: EU ETS registry system
Following the suspensions of transactions, except for allocation and surrender of allowances, in all EU ETS national registries at least until 26 January 2011, announced on 19 January 2011, significant progress has been made in recent days.
On Friday, Member States have unanimously endorsed the action taken by the European Commission. On Monday, agreement has been reached on guidance for the minimum requirements that each national registry has to fulfill in order to resume normal operations.
This guidance has been distributed to the competent authorities. Each Member State has been asked to urgently provide the European Commission with an independent report confirming that the minimum security requirements have been put in place.
The European Commission is now awaiting these reports from Member States before national registries are fully re-activated. The first reports are expected to be submitted in the coming days.
The European Commission will continue to provide updates and will give a 24 hour lead-time ahead of the re-activation of national registries.
Questions and answers:
1. What minimum security requirements must national registries fulfill?
The minimum security requirements are confidential. These requirements are similar to those applied for other sensitive IT systems, like electronic banking systems. They are designed to ensure that every company holding allowances in a national registry has an adequate level of protection that the allowances are secure in this registry account.
2. Does the extended suspension not disturb the carbon market?
As the overwhelming part of the market is in futures, i.e. not for immediate delivery of allowances in registries, the practical implications of the suspension so far are limited to less than a fifth of the normal daily market volume. The suspension has furthermore had no effect on market prices.
3. How long will it take for all national registries to be operational again?
We can provide no estimate at this stage. In the first place this is in the hands of individual Member States now, which have to mobilize the resources to upgrade security where needed. In order to underline the importance of this issue, Commissioner Hedegaard has written to all Ministers to urge a swift follow-up and implementation of the guidance.
4. Will the European Commission disclose further details of unauthorized transfers of allowances, including serial numbers of affected allowances?
No, the European Commission has no authorization under relevant legislation to disclose such details nor has it been provided with complete information by affected national registries. While it does support national law enforcement agencies, the European Commission has no investigative powers to follow up the thefts.
5. What happens with allowances transferred with authorisation?
The recovery of any allowances which are claimed to have been transferred fraudulently has not been harmonised, and is therefore a matter for national law and national law enforcement authorities. Generally, allowances continue to represent legally valid and tradable compliance instruments, but national civil and criminal laws have different approaches.

Point of View
The Third Policeman is told from the first person perspective of an unnamed narrator. The narrator goes through a very subjective experience: death. Everything in the afterlife refers back to the narrator's experiences in life and the narrator's defining sin, the murder of Mathers. However, the narrator does not seem to make the connections between what is happening and his own life. Instead, he tends to make connections between what happens and de Selby's writings. The narrative voice, in fact, takes on two characters during the novel. When the narrator writes about de Selby, he writes authoritatively and academically, but when he writes about his experiences, he shows a naive and even thoughtless approach to his surroundings.
The reader is able to follow along with the narrator, inside the narrator's head, through his journey into the afterlife. The narrator does not remember his own name, and...

Hey guys, this is my first post, and i've recently bought a pair of BDG jeans from Urban Outfitters. They're pretty cool, and i've been wearing the hell out of them. However, i'd like to start off with my first pair of expensive jeans. I'm a size 30, with about a 30 inseam. I was looking at about three choices, the APC New Standards in 28, the Nudie Slim Jims in 31, and the True Religion Bobby Raw in 30. If you guys have any suggestions just help me out, i'd really like a nice pair of jeans that i can wear alot, but still look good when i go out and stuff. I like my jeans not too loose, not too baggy, kinda like the 501's when you go one size up. Any help is appreciated.

Once the first settlers found Australia approximately two centuries ago, these were surprised at the strange wildlife they experienced. A bird that runs quicker than most land creatures, a little bear like tree occupant, countless superbly colored parrots, the creatures were really like nothing the settlers had seen before.
Most were named following the local Aboriginal terms for every animal hence such strange names as Kangaroo, Cockatoo, Koala and Wallaby.
Some were hunted into extinction, such as the Thylacine, a striped dog like marsupial, while some were revered since they were so strange, such as the Kangaroo.
Most native Australian creatures are marsupials, characterised with a distinctive pouch that they carry their youthful for that first couple of several weeks of the lives. It's these marsupials which are the characteristic Australian animal. The Kangaroo, Koala, possum, wallaby and wombat are referred to as usually Australian creatures. But there's also countless bird species that comprise a huge part from the Australian wildlife. Emu's would be the largest and renowned but there are lots of others, like the large Sulphur-crested Cockatoo using its yellow crest, frequently stored like a pet. There's also the colorful Rainbow Lorikeets, King Parrots and Rosellas that have shrill songs and make up a magnificent flash of color from the dry Australian plant.
Australian wildlife is very unique, with thousands of years being stop from the outdoors influence, they've had the opportunity to evolve and adjust to their atmosphere in certain fantastic ways. The most wonderful of because from the Platypus. But I'll leave that your decision to discover on your own.
Hi, i'm Nick Holdsworth and i'm a regular professional photographer.
I've lately printed a lightbox of pictures of native Australian wildlife, relax and take a look and for those who have any queries or would really like a duty free quote you can get in touch and I will be happy to assist you by any means I'm able to.

I had been installing wood flooring in my home. I scoured over the markets for the most suitable nail gun. I wasn't hiring any contractors. I had been a do-it-yourself type and thus needed a gadget that would be both basic and efficient to utilize. After reviewing the huge selection of options, I settled for your Pneumatic flooring nailer by Hardcore Tools.
Being a first timer, I needed to proceed through how many other people had said regarding their experiences by it. I decided this model determined by its excellent reviews. Moreover, its features' descriptions suited my requirements although only by putting it to function could I fully determine its usefulness.
The Purchase
First, could be the price. I was a little stingy about this as my budget was quite constrained, and i also couldn't afford huge expenses. However, i'm happy to report and pleasure, upon enquiry I determined that the set price was well within my means. Additionally, they'd slashed the costs by over $50 allowing me to save lots of more. The offer got better. I managed to get free delivery services. Needless to say, after preparations, I immediately placed my order. The delivery time was superb, while i received it barely days after my order.
An Effective and Efficient Tool
With this particular model, I had created an excellent and simple time installing my bamboo floors. The gun sits quickly and easily each and every time. The bamboo being hard and brittle required low pressure lest it will currently have damaged. Mid-air consumption was low at about 4.5 CFM. This allowed me to utilize small compressor and control the input pressure. Obviously, I was slow in the beginning laying a number of square feet over a little while when i tread with caution on the floor installation. As an illustration, to make sure I might get good result together with the pressure When i first tested it on some scrap plank.
For your Experienced and Learning Floor Installers
Though new with the whole process, I found it simple to use. I recently placed it on the side of a piece of the bamboo flooring. The mallet then strikes the actuator and also the nail is fired in. Easy. With each successful attempt and a little practice, by my second time at I needed completed your entire house. Actually, the best difficulty I encountered was just moving the Nailer around. It took a while getting used to. The Nailer worked flawlessly. Everyone should take it. No need an expert, nonetheless it allows you to one.
The long and durable handle provided great control and kept me from breaking my back. I ran across it to be quite efficient particularly when it found installing different floors at different thicknesses. The non-marring base plates were an easy task to adjust relating to the 1/2 and 3/4 inch floor points. It enabled me to be effective fast, having its high capacity magazine holding 100 nails. Its reload time was fast.
An ideal choice
Additionally, it came with a resilient travel case for tools. This included safety goggles, hex tools, mallet and o-rings. It becomes an efficient tool for just about any floor installation. I suggest the Pneumatic flooring nailer by Hardcore Tools for it returned in my experience a fantastic value for my money's worth.

Meet Jaswig's Intern Kevin
We are very happy to announce that Kevin (the Kev, La Kevz) has joined our team. We have been looking for an intern for quite a while and saw a lot of potential interns but the mighty Kev had it all (although he is quite a slow, he is from Limburg you know…)
So tell us Kevin what do you do at our company?
First of all this is me. Always nice to be able to put a face on someone.
I'm a design student so lets say I'll design some stuff, I guess that is why I'm here, no :)? My first ideas are some add on products for the Nomad. Next to that I try to beat Henri in making the most delicious Jaswig Croque monsieur, but it is still hard to beat the master.
Tell our readers a little more about the atmosphere here at Jaswig?
I feel that you guys have a rather nice balance between work and play, focus and distraction. Because you know Jaswig's message is to get people standing which is great but I'm convinced that we also need to have more fun from time to time.
What are you going to miss most after your internship?
My DIY desk (made out of supports from Nick's garden shed and some scrap wood) with the COOPER standing desk converter on it!
And the overview I have on all of you guys from my desk. I must admit that it is rather pleasant to see the interactions between the four of you on a day to day basis. The discussions, the happy moments and the more difficult moments.
Kevin From Jaswig's side
And off course we are very happy that Kevin joined our team. It is so cool to be able to give someone some insights in how our business works and to learn from how Kevin sees our company and designs.
Thanks Kev!

The American Dream is a Sinister Nightmare
Adriana Nevarez, a high school student from Latino College Prep Acadamy, writes a narative from the perspective of her father who immigrated from Mexico to the United States with Adriana's pregnant mother. Adriana is an aspiring writer who finds inspiration in the stories of her family and community. These writings are part of a running workshop series. Feel free to comment, and workshop facilitators will share with authors.
The American Dream is a Sinister Nightmare
By Adriana Nevarez
Is migrating always an option? Many people migrate from one place to another facing hardships and overcoming obstacles in seek for a better life. I am very proud of my origin and I am thankful to have a family that never gives up and sacrifices themselves to make others happy. My father's migration affects me in a positive way allowing me to understand why he came here and also, allowing me to try to make him and my mother proud by continuing my education positively. My father is a very special person who faced a lot of harsh times in order for me to be here now and have a better future and this is why I would love to share his reality to the others around me from his point of view.
My name is Francisco-Luis Nevarez, and I was born in Durango, Mexico on February 8, 1969. I was raised in a little ranch named San Nicholas ever since I was born. I remember that even though poverty was always an obstacle in our lives, we were friendly and happy. There are many things I remember about my hometown, I remember the dirt road and how wet the dirt smelled like when it rained. I also remember how the ranch was full of farm animals and how they were very important for agriculture and also, to bring food to our table. I had to leave school at a young age in order to help my father work so we could have food to eat. I only studied until sixth grade. After I dropped out of school, I spent my days growing crops such as corn and beans in a hot, beating sun. My father and I worked from sunrise to sunset and sometimes we had nothing to eat throughout the day. Our stomachs would ache and screech for food, our lips would ask to be revived with water, our legs would burn and beg for a rest, and the cuts on our hands would supplicate for cure. But there was no way me and my father could please them.
I left my hometown in the year 1995 at the age of 26. I left my home and my family because of poverty. Another reason was because I wanted my children to have a better future and not have to go through what I went through. My wife and I were married in San Nicholas and by the time we migrated to the United States, she was expecting my first son.
My night. Our night. That night is a night I will never forget. My wife and I packed our clothes and a 'Coyote', a person who migrates people to the United States illegally and usually by land, took us in a bus to a place called Nogales. It was one of many places where immigrants crossed the border or lost their lives. The smell of human waste stung my nostrils as I held my wife's hand. My body was washed up in sweat as well as my tears. I remember getting off the filthy bus and looking up. Fear was the first thing to haunt me and knock me down as a 30 feet old sheet, metal wall stared intensely at me. Images of my family with an empty table, slowly killing them, gave me the strength and courage to get to the top of the fence. Tears swelled my eyes as I faced down toward my wife, the "coyote" had left us to our fate. There was no way I was going to leave my wife and my baby while in danger. I left all the struggles made, and climbed back down. I kissed my wife and her popped out belly, I took her by the hand, and hand in hand we got to the top. I looked back at my hometown as a tear ran down my cheek. I was frightened, as never before, of my wife falling and losing both, and of what yet had to come. I carefully took her hand and placed it on a metal pole beside me. She grabbed the pole with both hands and slid all the way down. She got down safe as I prayed to the heavens up high to help us. I waited until it was my turn, just like I waited to be called to make a presentation in school. I placed both of my hands tightly around the sweaty metal pole, I shook my finger around to get a good grip as I remembered climbing trees during my childhood. As I slid down, my hands burned fiercely, as if they had caught on fire. My palms were full of popped burning, bloody, blisters.
My wife was waiting for me impatiently as I got down. As soon as my feet touched the ground of Arizona with relief, I took my wife's hand and ran as fast as we could. My bloody and bruised hands did not matter at the time, it was seen as insignificant. A stranger was waiting for us in a car, apparently someone had sent him for us. As we hopped in the car, he drove off in complete silence. The only words I heard him speak were "I was told to drop you guys off at the Arizona airline." I never bothered to look into his eyes, so instead, I turned to my side window and concentrated on my reflection. The tears had left a long shadow along my cheek which reminded me of the dry rivers of my hometown during the summer. As we arrived to Arizona's airline, we got off and bought two tickets and headed to Los Angeles. Everything was different. The language, the streets, the people, nature itself was different. Even though we had survived our living nightmare, fright haunted me once again. Deportation was such a painful word that stabbed my brain every half a second.
I came to San Jose because my brother was here and I had nowhere else to go and I knew I had more job opportunities since my brother owns a landscaping company. We took a Greyhound bus to San Jose. When we arrived to San Jose, I cried of joy because I felt that we were safe as my brothers hands were wrapped around me. The best feeling was knowing that it was time to start a new life with my baby and my wife, but I also felt pain as I missed the people I loved and the place where I belonged.
When I came here to the United States, Mexico was about to devalue their money. This means that the money's value is decreasing and it is worth less, which lead to a bad economy causing an increase in poverty. Most people grew their own crops and built their own houses of mud because everything was the same price and the money was worth less.
I haven't seen the immigrant population change much economically, most people still suffer from poverty. Although many people from my hometown are migrating to the United States in order to help their family, poverty still has an impact in their life, because the people that migrate to the United States in order to help their family and themselves. Poverty is something I would not like to not face again in this life and this is what has kept me here. I left my family and my home in order for my children to have a better life and future, different from my own, and I just hope that they are thankful and learn how to value what they have in their hands.
Socially, back in the days in Mexico, boys were raised with the thought that in order to be a man, we had to take women's rights away and their opinion didn't matter. Most men demonstrated that they were men by physically abusing a woman without caring if others watched. Most men had these thoughts and dared to put them in action because in my ranch, there wasn't any police force. I decided to cut the chain and stop the violence towards women even though I grew up seeing them mistreated.
Migrating is not always an option. It's something necessary for some people, for many different reasons. My reasons were my family, my children, and their future. Life is never easy and steps should always be taken forward in life. I don't regret sacrificing myself for the people I love, because even though my life didn't change for better, I am sure that my children have an education, and can make something out of them. Fright will always haunt you no matter where you go, but never let it take you over. Don't let that be an option.
Great job Adriana! Thank you for telling your dad's story, which, of course, is your story too. Keep writing to heal our families, our communities around the world and, very important, to heal ourselves.

A comparative field study of Crassostrea ariakensis (Fijita 1913) and Crassostrea virginica (Gmelin 1791) in relation to salinity in Virginia.
Calvo, G.W., Luckenbach, M.W., Allen, S.K. & Burreson, E.M.
J. Shellfish Res.
We examined survival, growth, and disease susceptibility of triploid Crassostrea ariakensis (= rivularis) and compared results with that of diploid Crassostrea virginica. Two hundred and fifty oysters (age = 2 yr, mean shell height = 60-64 mm) of each species were deployed at duplicate sites, (Chesapeake Bay, and the Atlantic Coast of Virginia) within low, medium, and high salinity regimes respectively (< 15%, 15-25%, > 25%). Over the course of the study, from June 1998 to September 1999, C. virginica exhibited low survival, modest growth and high disease susceptibility. In contrast, C. ariakensis exhibited high survival, high growth rate, and low disease susceptibility. At low salinity sites, final mean cumulative mortality of C. virginica (81%) was significantly higher than that of C. ariakensis (14%). At medium and high salinity sites, all C. virginica died before the end of the study whereas final mean cumulative mortality in C. ariakensis was 13 to 16%. After 1 year of deployment, mean shell height of C. virginica at low, moderate, and high salinity sites was respectively 70, 80 and 73 mm. In comparison, mean shell height of C. ariakensis was respectively 93, 121 and 137 mm. At low salinity sites, mean growth rate of C. virginica was not significantly different from that of C. ariakensis. At medium and high salinity sites, mean growth rate of C. virginica was significantly lower than that of C. ariakensis. Prevalence and intensity of Perkinsus marinus infections were significantly higher in C. virginica than in C. ariakensis. During the second summer of disease exposure, prevalence in C. virginica was 100% at all sites whereas in C. ariakensis it ranged from 0 to 28%. Heavy intensity of infections were prevalent in C. virginica whereas infections in C. ariakensis were limited to light intensity. Haplosporidium nelsoni (MSX) was present in C. virginica, but absent in C. ariakensis. Mud worms (Polydora spp.) were present in both oyster species, but infestations were low and did not appear to affect condition or growth. In summary, wide salinity tolerance and low disease susceptibility were associated with high survival and growth of C. ariakensis in Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Coast of Virginia.

Ashley Madison won't be advertising adultery on TTC streetcars, but it doesn't have to.
No ads were purchased, yet traffic to the company's website is up. Media experts are calling it a coup for guerrilla marketing.
"We tend to put ourselves in the situation where we win in both situations," Ashley Madison chief executive Noel Biderman said. "That's what good marketers do, and we believe we're as good as it gets."
AshleyMadison.com helps people cheat on their partners. On Thursday, the company alleged the TTC was backpedalling on an already approved deal to wrap six streetcars with the slogan "Life is short. Have an affair."
"We're not backing out of a deal. We have the right to accept or reject ads that we feel are appropriate or not appropriate for the TTC," said Councillor Joe Mihevc, vice-chair of the transit commission.
The TTC urged its review committee to reject the ads, and they did so Friday, with five councillors voting against it. Councillor Anthony Perruzza abstained.
"Just as we would not promote `Life is short, steal from your boss,' so to hear `Life is short, cheat on your spouse' or whatever, is not appropriate on a public transit vehicle," Mihevc said.
But Tim Richardson, professor of marketing at the University of Toronto's Scarborough campus, said the TTC's blessing – or lack of it – is irrelevant.
"They got AshleyMadison.com on the front page of the Sun," he said.
Ashley Madison garnered around a dozenmainstream media mentions on TV, radio and print Friday.
Sidney Eve Matrix, who teaches media at Queen's University, said the streetcar imbroglio was "social advertising at its best" because it connects people to an emotionally charged issue.
"It's ready for the water cooler, Facebook. It's purpose-built to go viral," Matrix said.

- $3.99
Publisher Description
Meet the Brannigan brothers— seven sexy brothers who bring the heart and the heat! From bestselling authors Barbara Freethy, Ruth Cardello, Melody Anne, Christie Ridgway, Lynn Raye Harris, Roxanne St. Claire and JoAnn Ross comes a brand-new contemporary romance family series: 7 Brides for 7 Brothers. You won't want to miss a single one!
FINN - JoAnn Ross
Finn Brannigan has a need for speed. Fast cars, fast jets, and the fast life that comes with being a TOPGUN aviator. He's flying missions over Afghanistan when his media mogul father dies unexpectedly, leaving Finn an airline in the wilds of the Alaskan wilderness. Which is a cool surprise, though he hasn't a clue what he's supposed to do with three small planes half a world away.
After escaping death—not once, but twice—Finn leaves the Navy and heads north to the Last Frontier to escape the world. But his planned isolation is blown to bits when he flies a runaway bride to her planned honeymoon cabin located in his remote mountain town of Caribou. As the short Alaskan summer spins out, Finn finds himself wanting to slow the days down and savor every delicious moment with the free-spirited singer/ songwriter who's made him feel alive again.
Tori Cassidy has had it with dishonest, cheating playboys. Alaskan bush pilot Finn Brannigan is exactly the kind of man she can envision building a life with. Hardworking. Honest. Ordinary. There's just one problem: Finn is lying about who he really is.
Grab the rest of the series!

Customer ReviewsSee All
Great series
Finn's story was so good! As the 7th book in the series its story was to be expected as each brother searched the meaning of his inheritance. Yet it was still a beautiful and unique story. It had a couple of twists and turns and I read it straight through. Kudos to the author. Nice ending to the multi author series.

What should I do if my animal is missing?
1. Visit the www. InfoPet.ca website and post your pet's information there.
2. Call your local animal control facility and visit if possible. Visit frequently.
3. Call your Veterinarian and all Veterinary hospitals in your area. Leave a missing flyer with all that will let you.
4. Let your neighbours know your animal is missing, and post notices with a picture and date lost if possible around your neighbourhood.
5. Post flyers at local parks, grocery stores, schools, libraries and anywhere public that will let you.6. Look for your pet early in the morning or late at night when it is quiet. Especially if you've lost a cat and he/she is an indoor cat who would be easily frightened by strange noises.There have been articles written that suggest that indoor cats normally don't venture farther than a 5 house radius from their homes when they accidentally escape. Make sure to check under decks, in garages and sheds, under cars etc.
7. Place an ad in the local paper and offer a
8. Provide details such as the colour, breed, age, sex, and length of animals hair. Mention whether or not the animal is wearing a collar or tags and if she/he is microchipped. Don't forget to mention where and when the animal went missing. Also remember to mention any distinguishing marks or old injuries. All details help. The more people you tell about your missing animal the quicker he/she will be returned to you.
9. If you're pet is microchipped, don't forget to make sure the information is up to date with the micro-chipping company.
| How can I help prevent my
animal from going missing?
1. GET YOUR ANIMAL SPAYED OR NEUTERED! Many un-altered animals stray because they are looking to mate. Dogs have been known to scratch or break down doors to get to a mate!
2. Don't let your pet off-leash or watch your pet when you answer the front door.
3. When driving with a pet, always make sure your dog is wearing his seatbelt and that cats are in carriers and that the carrier is strapped in with seatbelt. Don't leave windows or doors open. Repair all window and door screens. Clip your birds wings.
Remember: Identify your animal with a tag from your municipal council. In addition, write your name and phone number underneath their collar. Micro-chipping is permanent and worth the cost!
Don't forget to take pictures of your pets! It's very difficult to distinguish one brown tabby from another! A picture is definitely worth 1000 words!
What should I do if I find an animal?
1. Visit www.infopet.ca and post a Found Pet ad.
2. Post found pet ads around your neighbourhood or the area where you found the animal. Posting flyers in the local grocery stores is a good idea too.
2. Call your local animal control, make arrangements to drop off the pet.
3. If you find an animal after hours, try and find a warm and comfortable spot to keep them overnight. Provide them with food and water. If the animal is a cat, use shredded newspaper in a cardboard box as a litter tray if you have no litter available. As most people who notice lost animals have their own animals at home, you may have to be inventive to find somewhere to hold them. This could be in your washroom, an insulated shed, or at a friend or neighbors house.
4. If you decide to hold a lost animal in your home, don't forget to provide the local animal control with a description and a picture, if possible, of the animal.
5. Take the animal to any Vet to have them scanned for a microchip (it's free to check). If they are microchipped, the vet may be able to contact the owners that way.
If you know of someone who has lost a pet or could benefit by visiting this site why not let them know our web address www.infopet.ca

comment or suggestion? We'd love to hear from you! email@example.com

The purpose of this study was to provide a better understanding of the goalkeeper position in order to prepare goalkeepers for competition. The objectives of this study were to characterize the technical and physical demands of an NCAA Division I collegiate goalkeeper over three seasons and examine trends from season to season. Count and frequency for each definition were analyzed. Results show that although the goalkeeper's technical demands were characterized by engaging in play without action and being in the goal area, the gradually increased use of the feet over three season's hints on the importance of skills performed with the lower body. Findings suggest that most shots faced by the goalkeeper were from direct attacks, outside the box and from central positions. Foot skills may be relied on with increasing experience. Over the course of three seasons, forward and lateral movements were the most common and second most common.

Hey Collectors!
2017 is here! What are you most excited about creating, doing or enjoying? I am excited about getting married this year, watching my son Shane continue to grow and learn, and growing my business and podcast, Hoardganize.
Last month, I posted about where to begin. This is my most asked question as a professional organizer. I created a unique step-by-step plan and basic steps for my clients. You can read that blog post here: http://www.collectorcare.com/cleaning-organizing-new-year/.
In today's post, I am going to continue how to set up and get organized. I see many people get overwhelmed and try to tackle too much stuff. By doing easy to manage basic steps, you are more likely to clear your clutter!
Preparing to Sort
After you have created your sorting station, next begin to prepare to sort! You are at your sorting station, now what?
You should have space to put containers when you created your sorting station. The first step is to grab the following items: 4 EMPTY containers for sorting. It doesn't matter what they are—it can be the brown paper bags from the grocery store, bins, plastic containers, or amazon boxes. You will also need:
Trash bag
Recycling bag
Don't get caught up in having matching containers and making everything perfect! Remember, our goal here is to clear clutter and get started sorting. Focus on being able to sort, not on how the containers look! Perfection can be a big obstacle for anyone looking to clear clutter.
If you are more visual, check out this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/tSHfl8utPes.
Begin by LABELING all four of your empty containers:
TO GO TRHOUGH — these are all the items you will be going to sort. Just load it on up to begin. When it is empty, reload.
KEEP — the items you want to keep. I know many of you might be thinking, "I want to keep it all, I need that." Right now, we are just labeling and preparing to sort. I will go into more detail in next month's blog. (If you are ready to move forward, check out the next episode on Hoardganize: http://hoardganize.libsyn.com/where-do-i-begin-choosing-what-to-sort-3).
DONATE — contains "I am okay and feel good about donating." I personally only donate to ONE organization until the clutter is under control. Instead of creating separate bags like hair care to a women's shelter, keep your focus labeling your bags.
IMPORTANT — this bag is for "I cannot live without." Some of the items might include: money, medication, keys, paper for work, urgent current and immediate items such as your mortgage bill.
Photos and collector coins could also be important. You might be confused because a lot is important to you. Focus on what is most important that needs to be addressed RIGHT NOW or today.
If you are nervous because the categories are too broad, that's okay. It's very normal for you to feel you this way.
Look at all you have accomplished! You created your sorting station, labeled containers and are ready to get started. Next month, I will talk about choosing what to start!
Remember, happiness is a place between too little and too much.
What is your biggest challenge when it comes to sorting? What is the first room or area you are going to begin decluttering? Share your comments below.
Still stuck with sorting? Feeling overwhelmed and need some guidance? No worries, we can help! Collector Care helps people clear clutter and get organized, including working with hoarders and hording situations as well as extreme clutter.

The Rogue Ohio Deadlift Bar is one of our finest, precision-engineered power bars to date, generating a higher amount of flex ideal for deadlifting. Machined and assembled in Columbus, Ohio, the ODB features a 190,000 PSI shaft with a comparatively thin diameter (27MM) and longer overall length (90.50" – just within most powerlifting federation standards). This combination creates a bar that's both easier to grip and designed for increased whip/flex when pulling. For many power lifters, that greater flex means being able to pull from a higher point before the plates break off the floor, potentially increasing the amount of weight that can be lifted in the process.
Like all Rogue bushing bars, the Ohio Deadlift Bar includes sleeves with a quality snap ring construction-- far superior to the cheaply produced bolt-and-pin style sleeves of some other brands. The powerlifting knurl marks on this bar are a bit deeper / more aggressive than our Ohio Power Bar, but machined in the same pattern. There is no center knurl.
Customers can choose from three available finishes. On this page, you can choose from Black Zinc shaft with Bright Zinc sleeves or full Bare Steel across the bar.
To see the cerakote version of the Ohio Deadlift Bar, click here.
See more: 20KG Weightlifting Bars Here.
See Also: The Rogue Barbell Cleaning Kit
Please Note: Like any fine piece of machined steel, a bare steel barbell will require some upkeep. Occasionally brushing the bar down with 3-in-1 oil or WD-40 will create a beautiful patina look. This is how bars were made for decades and it really does produce an unmatched feel.
*Warranty against bending does not cover any bar which has been damaged due to negligent or faulty use, alteration, maintenance, storage or handling by the user. Negligent or faulty use includes abusive dropping of the bar (i.e., dropping the bar on a box, bench, spotter arms or pins in a power rack, excessive dropping with insufficient or damaged bumpers, or excessive dropping with iron plates, and similar usage). Any specific issues regarding a Rogue product with which a customer is not satisfied will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. We have found that most problems with bars we replace are related to abusive use rather than manufacturing or materials issues.
