As Major League Baseball's second half gets underway Friday, the Dodgers and Angels are in first place.
A front-line starter would help the Dodgers secure their lead in the National League West and provide their best chance at a deep playoff run. The Angels' recent hot streak propelled them past the Houston Astros and into the lead in the American League West, but the club still needs help on offense, and has a spot open for a starting outfielder.
But in the two weeks before the trade deadline, and the more than two months remaining in the regular season, the playoff scenarios can change significantly. Here's a look at some of the developing story lines:
Call to arms
It has been three months since the Dodgers lost Brandon McCarthy for the season, two months since they lost Hyun-Jin Ryu for the season. The Dodgers have used 12 starters, as many as they did all of last season.
With the fill-ins fading — since June 1, Mike Bolsinger has an earned-run average of 4.54 and Carlos Frias has an ERA of 4.50, with a combined two victories in 14 starts — this is the time for Andrew Friedman, the Dodgers president of baseball operations, to deliver an arm to complement Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke atop the rotation.
Bat man
Jerry Dipoto treaded cautiously as the Angels slogged through the first half, not wanting to break up the minor league system he had slowly rebuilt for one bat that might make little difference this season. But, since Dipoto resigned as general manager two weeks ago, the Angels have made up five games in nine days and surged into first place in the AL West.
That one bat, preferably swung by someone who could play left field, might now make a huge difference. The farm system still is thin — there are no top prospects among position players, but a few decent pitchers — but maybe interim GM Bill Stoneman can trade an arm for a bat.
Moving Cole
The Tampa Bay Rays got a back-end starter, a utility infielder and a Class A prospect for star left-hander David Price last summer. The Philadelphia Phillies are aiming for much more in exchange for Cole Hamels.
Price was traded one year and two months shy of free agency, at a cost of $24 million. Hamels could be bound to his new club through 2019, but at a cost of up to $95 million. That means the Phillies have to pay down the deal to get top prospects in return.
Hamels would love to join the Dodgers, but no one is sure whether the Phillies can or will pull the trigger until incoming team president Andy MacPhail takes charge after the season.
Makeover misfire
No words spook San Diego fans more than "fire sale."
The Padres went all-in last off-season, gutting their minor league system to acquire Matt Kemp, Craig Kimbrel, Wil Myers, Derek Norris and Justin Upton, and spending $75 million on free agent James Shields.
Upton, who will become a free agent this fall, is all but gone this month — and he would be a perfect fit in Anaheim. The Padres could admit the makeover failed and trade Kimbrel and Shields to restock the farm system, but that would scream "fire sale" and trigger a fan exodus no matter how rationally the team could explain it.
They're damned if they sell, damned if they don't.
Casting Cinderella
The Kansas City Royals captured America's hearts last fall with their charming run from the wild-card playoff game to Game 7 of the World Series. What teams could succeed the Royals as darlings of the postseason?
Over the last four years, the Astros averaged 104 losses and the Minnesota Twins 96, but those would be the teams in the AL wild-card game if the postseason opened today.
The Chicago Cubs would be in the NL wild-card game. They have not had a winning season since 2009 and, as you might have heard a few million times, have not advanced to the World Series since 1945 — long before the Astros, Twins and Royals came into existence.

CLEVELAND, June 19 (UPI) -- Asdrubal Cabrera smacked a game-winning homer in the 10th inning Tuesday and Cleveland moved into first place with a 3-2 interleague win over Cincinnati.
The Reds had forged a 2-1 lead in the top of the 10th when Chris Heisey got aboard on a fielder's choice and came around to score on a Joe Smith wild pitch, Joey Votto's single and another wild one from Nick Hagadone (1-0).
The Indians came right back in the bottom of the frame when Shin-Soo Choo singled off Aroldis Chapman (4-3) with one out and Cabrera followed by slicing a pitch that just made it into the right-field stands for a walk-off home run.
The series-clinching victory, coupled with a Chicago White Sox loss to the Chicago Cubs Tuesday, vaulted Cleveland into first place in the American League Central.
Indians starter Josh Tomlin yielded one run on six hits over 6 2/3 innings.
Heisey got the only RBI for the NL Central-leading Reds.

We are just halfway through the year but Samsung is boasting in glory – in the field of smartphones and tablets but especially because of the Samsung Galaxy SIII smartphone that happens to be the most popular and buzzed Android gadget of the year so far. There are rumors doing rounds already about Samsung and this time it is about the Samsung tablet. It is rumored that Samsung is already working on the second Galaxy tablet the Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
According to GSM Arena, the Galaxy note 2 will have a large 5.3 or 5.5 inch AMOLED screen which, though larger than a smartphone's in size, is narrower than that of its predecessor the Galaxy note. No other specs have leaked yet but it is expected that the tablet and smartphone hybrid or phablet will have an 8 megapixel rear camera like its predecessor and a 2 GHz dual-core processor. Other specs include a 2GB RAM, a 32GB inbuilt memory (expandable to 64GB) and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS.
Earlier rumors had indicated that the Galaxy Note 2 may have a flexible OLED screen but it appears Samsung chose a stronger and more functional screen. The rumor sources indicate that Samsung may release the tablet sometime in September or October of this year and it may be Samsung's way to undercut the Apple iPhone 5 rumored to be launched ahead of schedule too.
A September lunch is very convenient for Samsung because the company will have a lot of time to promote the new phablet and cash in on holiday's mega sales and will give it an upper hand over Apple which is planning to release the iPhone 5 in October. It appears that 2012 is the year of major battles on the smartphone and tablet markets and since Samsung seems to have completely dominated its competitors in the smartphone market, we just have to wait and see if the Galaxy note 2 will beat iPhone 5 later this year.

After reading Anna Journey's excellent essay in the current issue of Diode Poetry, I happened across this poem by Catherine Pierce. It will knock the wind out of you one line at a time. The first two sentences of the poem alone made me sit up straight in my seat and start reading the rest of the poem out loud: "Want is ten thousand blue feathers falling / all around me, and me unable to stomach / that I might catch five but never ten thousand. / So I drop my hands to my sides and wait / to be buried."
If you do anything else today, that "else" must include reading Catherine Pierce's poem.

The Art Room is an Oxford and London based charity that aims to help 5 – 16 year olds experiencing behavioural and emotional difficulties to build their self-confidence, self-esteem and independence.
Founder Juli Beattie, who wanted to create a caring and creative environment in which children could learn through art, set up the charity in Oxford in 2002.
Since then children who have either become disengaged from mainstream education, withdrawn or have been identified as needing time away from school have been visiting the centres with extremely positive results.
The students face a range of difficulties from autism right through to being the sole carer in their family, but whatever the situation The Art Room intends to provide respite.
Speaking of their new patron, founder Beattie said: "This is wonderful news. On behalf of all of our Trustees and staff and the children and young people we support, I want to thank The Duchess for choosing The Art Room. It is a fantastic endorsement of the work we do and the role that art and creativity can play in helping children and young people whose start in life has been difficult."

text: The commenters have been discussing this game everywhere since it started. But now that the dust has settled, it's time to count the bodies: Michigan lost to a MAC team for the first time...ever. Michigan kicker K.C. Lopata had a chance to send the game to overtime...and missed. Toledo, who has lost to Florida International, Arizona, and was shut out against Ball State, is 2-0 in the state of Michigan, having beaten Eastern Michigan in Ypsi four weeks ago. Stunner. Now let's see what you told Hugh about that game, and a couple others: This may be the first time in history that Michigan has a must-win, non-cupcake game against Toledo. Michigan's 2-3, and needs four wins to keep the longest active bowl streak alive. And those wins must come against Toledo, Penn State, Michigan State, Purdue, Minnesota, Northwestern, and Ohio State. I can't even believe we have to talk about this, you suck, Michigan AD Bill Martin. First basketball, now football. Stay out of Yost. —As In Howe Michigan should be relegated to the MAC after this season. —Slothrop Michigan, displaying the kind of play that has caused a precipitous drop in GPAs across the student body, but has made U of M hospital number one in the nation at treating alcohol poisoning. —Fraganhome Instant analysis from Toledo, who had one win all season upsetting 13-10 win over Michigan: AAAAA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. —Sussman Pam Ward is calling the Northwestern game today at a stadium that used to be called Dyche Stadium. I don't even think I need to make a joke here. -Oftenhgheigh

We teach a wide variety of classes in traditional craft at The Farmers' Museum. I am particularly proud to offer a new class on engraving steel using traditional hand tools. The instructor is Paul Spaulding, Master Blacksmith and the engraver of our Scottish Pistol Project. He will guide students through the theory and methods of engraving steel. Each class will have a maximum of 6 students. All will have a full set of tools provided to practice engraving.
The Introduction to Engraving Steel with Hand Tools is a two day class. The cost is $150 for a two day class with group and individual tutorials. It is offered August 6th and 7th, as well as October 8th and 9th. The August class has openings. For more information or to enroll call The Farmers' Museum at 607-547-1461.
Students will learn tips on how to design and lay out projects, and the basic methods of using a hand engraver and hammer to engrave steel. Attention will also be spent on how to choose the type of engraving chisel for the work as well as how to sharpen, hold, and use the engravers.
You are not likely to have mastered engraving by the end of the course but will have a firm foundation to begin practicing on your own. If you have an urge to try your hand at engraving steel using simple traditional tools this may be the place to start!

Two words – Social Business.
In the world today, corporations can have more influence than governments. In this capacity, companies can promote change relating to societal problems by creating businesses that can make an impact on such issues.
Businesses need to take on causes that utilize their talents/products/services that aren't profit motivated. They need to invest in social objectives instead. For example, Grameen partnered with Danone (the yogurt company) to develop a yogurt that could taste go0d, costs almost nothing for consumers but provides for the children of Bangladesh nutrients that they wouldn't necessarily get otherwise. And what does Dannone get out of this?
Their initial investment that funded the company.
In social business, the initial investment is recouped with any dividends accrued (the business must make a profit) go back into the business so that it can become sustainable initiative.
Using this model, Grameen has partnered with Veolia Water to create water filtration plants to provide clean water for people, created a health care service where people can have access to eye care (blindness from cataracts happens far too often) and more. Millions are being helped across the country.
This initiative can hopefully one day lead to eliminating poverty throughout the world.
A final note: Tomorrow we head for home – forty hours of travel time (23 hours flying). Thanks for 'riding along' with me as I embarked on this journey. I hope you enjoyed reading about it, learned a little, and maybe even feel that you'd like to be a catalyst for change in your own communities.
I'll see you in the states 🙂

FORMER Conservative British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher died this morning, following a stroke. She was 87 years old.
"It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning," said Lord Bell in a statement. "A further statement will be made later."
Baroness Thatcher was the first female British Prime Minister, serving in the role from 1979 until 1990. The former politician spent her final days at the Ritz Hotel, where it was easier to care for her than her home in Belgravia - the BBC reports. She will have a ceremonial funeral, rather than a state funeral - with gun carriage, military procession and a service at St Paul's Cathedral - in the same style as the Queen Mother and Diana, Princess of Wales. There will not be a fly-past, as she believed that the tradition was a "waste of money". The ceremony will be held on Wednesday April 17, Downing Street confirmed, and both the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh will be in attendance.
Prime Minister David Cameron paid tribute to Thatcher via Twitter today: "It was with great sadness that I learned of Lady Thatcher's death," he Tweeted. "We've lost a great leader, a great Prime Minister and a great Briton."
Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman also paid her respects to the celebrated politician: "Baroness Thatcher redefined the notion of a woman in politics. She was arguably the first British leader who embraced the importance of using the media in her mission - determined to get her message across to as many people as possible in its unswerving vision. She turned herself into an icon of conservative ideology - her image becoming synonymous with her views, from her immaculate hair to her notorious handbags. Even those who disagreed with her politics will remember her as a shrewd, influential visionary."
Thatcher was born on October 13, 1925 in Grantham, Lincolnshire. Her father, a green grocer, passed on his keen interest in politics - although he was an Independent, rather than a Conservative like his daughter. She went to Oxford University, where she studied chemistry, although was initially rejected - having only been offered a place after another candidate withdrew.
After graduating, Thatcher moved to Colchester in Essex where she became involved with the local Conservative Party organisation. In 1949, she was adopted as the prospective Conservative party candidate for Dartford. She was unsuccessful but attracted significant media attention which boosted her profile. She finally made her parliamentary debut as the Finchley MP in 1959, and within two years was made a junior minister, before being appointed to the shadow cabinet in 1964. In 1970, she was hired as Education Secretary and was given the job of making spending cuts in her department. One of her famous initiatives saw her implement the withdrawal of free milk for school children aged between seven and 11 - earning her the less favourable description of "Margaret Thatcher the milk snatcher".
She later became shadow environment secretary, but decided to stand against the then Conservative leader Ted Heath. When Thatcher notified him of her plans Heath didn't even look up at her, saying simply: "You'll lose. Good day to you." Despite low expectations, she won. She was given the nickname "Iron Lady" by a Russian newspaper in 1976 for her opposition to Soviet communism.
In 1979, Thatcher ran against Labour's then Prime Minister Jim Callaghan and became the first woman in Britain to ever take the position. Many of her policies were met with criticism and attracted widespread controversy - most famously for her crushing of the trade unions, her introduction of poll taxes and the privatisation of state industries - causing the well-documented miners' strikes and the gradual decline of Britain's coal industry. She was replaced as Prime Minister and party leader by Conservative John Major in 1992.
Her image was as arguably as famous as her politics, favouring twin sets, pearls, Asprey handbags and pussy bow blouses. Known for her relentlessly ambitious, charismatic and passionate personality, Thatcher defined an era and left an unforgettable, world-famous legacy. "Everyone is either reckless or inept," she once said. "Someone must force the point and say the unsayable."

If are not "cuddly" stuff a pillow under the sweater.

So you must have heard of affiliate marketing and people can make money being an affiliate. But what is it exactly and how it works? In this article I am going to share what affiliate marketing is and how it really works.
To make it really simple, I am going to share a real life example. I have launched BlogKori Academy which is an online coaching platform. My readers can join this course and learn from me through videos. My course is priced at $49-$99.
Now the thing is, in order to have more sales, I need to attract more students. My resources and reach is limited. So what I did was to offer an affiliate program. In this program someone can join as an affiliate (for free) and promote my course. When they make a sale, I will pay a percentage of the profit to that affiliate. This is called an affiliate commission.
I am using software so the sales tracking and commissions are managed automatically. So you see that this way I can reach more people and sell more. On the other hand my affiliate is making money by promoting my stuff.
It's a win win situation for both of us. So this is how exactly affiliate marketing works.
You go ahead and sign up for a product's affiliate program. The sign up process is free 99% of the time –because the seller wants to bring in more promoters on board.
Then you will get a special link that will act as a tracking code for your commission. Promote this product on your blog, website, email and friends; when they make a purchase you make money.
I am personally promoting a lot of affiliate products in my network. One service that I am promoting for years is the web hosting service from hostgator. This is the web hosting service that I personally use for my blogs and I am happy with them. This is why I am excited to talk about it with my friends, clients and blog readers.
There are many affiliate marketplaces where you can find products to promote. For an example Amazon has its own affiliate program. If you recommend books on your page, you can create an affiliate link and make small chunk of change when someone buys them. Physical products don't pay that well to the affiliates however digital products pay the most.
You can sell software, e-courses or e-books. My course is a digital product and I offer 50% commissions. So you can go ahead and promote my course here.
Video: How to promote BlogKori Academy and make money
So now you have learned how exactly affiliate marketing works. It is a legit way to make money on the internet. It takes no money to join. But a piece of advice, only promote the products/people you trust and believe in.

NEW ORLEANS, La. – The United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) released its most recent round of region rankings with Georgia College Men's Cross Country taking fifth in the Southeast Region. The fifth-place ranking marks a noticeable improvement for the Bobcats, who were ranked ninth in the prior week's poll.
Only two other Peach Belt Conference (PBC) teams rank higher than the Bobcats in the latest poll, which includes Augusta University (third) and UNC Pembroke (fourth). Overall, the PBC holds five of the top-10 rankings in the Southeast region, with the University of Mount Olive from the Conference Carolinas occupying the No. 1 spot.
The top-five ranking comes on the heels of an impressive showing at the Louisville Classic, which saw the Bobcats finish second behind only the Indiana University Run Club in a crowded 35 team field. Georgia College comes up just one spot shy of the all-time program best ranking of fourth place in 2015.

You might be unaware that May is Disability Insurance Awareness Month. We weren't aware of it until recently, but the issue of disability—as a reason for nonparticipation in the labor market—has been very much on our minds as of late. As we noted in a previousmacroblog post, from the fourth quarter of 2007 through the end of 2013, the number of people claiming to be out of the labor force for reasons of illness or disability increased almost 3 million (or 23 percent). The previous post also noted that the incidence of reported nonparticipation as a result of disability/illness is concentrated (unsurprisingly) in the age group from about 51 to 60.
In the past, we have examined the effects of the aging U.S. population on the labor force participation rate (LFPR). However, we have not yet specifically considered how much the aging of the population alone is responsible for the aforementioned increase in disability as a reason for dropping out of the labor force.
The following chart depicts over time the percent (by age group) reporting disability or illness as a reason for not participating in the labor force. Each line represents a different year, with the darkest line being 2013. The chart reveals a long-term trend of rising disability or illness as a reason for labor force nonparticipation for almost every age group.
The chart also shows that disability or illness is cited most often among people 51 to 65 years old—the current age of a large segment of the baby boomer cohort. In fact, the proportion of people in this age group increased from 20 percent in 2003 to 25 percent in 2013.
How much can the change in demographics during the past decade explain the rise in disability or illness as a reason for not participating in the labor market? The answer seems to be: Not a lot.
Following an approach you may have seen in this post, we break down into three components the change in the portion of people not participating in the labor force due to disability or illness. One component measures the change resulting from shifts within age groups (the within effect). Another component measures changes due to population shifts across age groups (the between effect). A third component allows for correlation across the two effects (a covariance term). Here's what you get:
To recap, only about one fifth of the decline in labor force participation as a result of reported illness or disability can be attributed to the population aging per se. A full three quarters appears to be associated with some sort of behavioral change.
What is the source of this behavioral change? Our experiment can't say. But given that those who drop out of the labor force for reasons of disability/illness tend not to return, it would be worth finding out. Here is one perspective on the issue.
You can find even more on this topic via the Human Capital Compendium.

Despite looking like it might be a theme restaurant on the outside, 222 Glen Road has been totally gutted and now has a modern, open-concept floor plan complete with it's own floating staircase! Built in 1930, the half-timbered, Tudor-style, English cottage is currently listed with Douglas Gubitz for $2,595,000.
The Details
The 3,600 SF home has 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom, and the best part of of this place – a sweet open concept kitchen that combines with the dining and family rooms to make a massive entertaining space.
Despite the questionable use of the finished basement, it would make a great living area…or fitness room. But please, not both.

In celebration of National Inclusive Education Month in Ontario, Community Living Ontario invited elementary school aged children (ages 4-14) from across Ontario to participate in a contest that promotes and raises awareness about inclusive education. The intent was to have students and classrooms to begin thinking about inclusion and start a conversation about how a diverse class offers better educational experience for all students.
From the Community Living Ontario website: "This year the contest was very well received and as a result we received an overwhelming number of submissions form across Ontario. After going through each and every video, story and poem, which were all great in their own way, Community Living Ontario is proud to announce the winners of 2015/2016 Together, We're Better Contest!"
With that announcement came the news that our very own Kindergarten "A" class at Upper Thames Elementary School in Mitchell, Ontario placed third overall!
Under the guidance of their teacher, Karen Hocking, the Early Childhood Educator, Jamie Dow, and the Educational Assistant, Sue Heckman, the children made a mural and a book celebrating their diverse classroom. They submitted their book to the contest and not only won third prize, but a class pizza party as well.
"I am sure this recognition is a proud moment for Upper Thames staff", stated Superintendent of Education Peggy Blair. "On behalf of Avon Maitland, I would like to thank Principal Paula Robinson and staff for having little ones learn about acceptance of peers."
"The kids were so excited they couldn't sit still so we had to take the photo (above) multiple times", remarked Adam Sipione, Communications staff member for Avon Maitland.
The original copy of the book is still at Community Living headquarters but the following is sample collage of just a few pages:
Congratulations to Kindergarten "A" and all staff involved!

France, officially the French Republic is a unitary semi-presidential republic located mostly in Western Europe, with several overseas regions and territories. Metropolitan France extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean. From its shape, it is often referred to in French as l'Hexagone ("The Hexagon").
France is the largest country in Western Europe and the third-largest in Europe as a whole. It possesses the second-largest exclusive economic zone in the world. France has been a major power with strong cultural, economic, military, and political influence in Europe and around the world. France has its main ideals expressed in the 18th-century Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. From the 17th to the early 20th century, France built the second-largest colonial empire of the time, ruling large portions of first North America and India and then Northwest and Central Africa; Madagascar; Indochina and southeast China; and many Caribbean and Pacific Islands.
In 2010, Claire Peacock made plans to move to France for a new life at the suggestion of her mother Yvonne Casey. However her husband Ashley wasn't too keen and went as far as to fake an angina attack to delay the move, although in the end he came round. In December that year however, tragedy struck when Ashley was killed when an explosion inside The Joinery caused a tram to derail and caused severe structural damage. Claire decided to remain in Weatherfield as Ashley's memory was still there, but after inadvertently injuring Tracy Barlow to the extent that she was rendered unconscious, Claire decided that it would be better leave rather than be formally charged with assault. In the New Year, with the help of friends and neighbours, she was able to evade the police and left with children Joshua and Freddie.
In July 2018, Eva Price left Weatherfield for France with daughter Susie after ex-fiancé Aidan Connor took his own life.

Quality Control is certainly not a new idea, however, digital applications are allowing businesses to be more thorough than ever in control methods.
Controlling output helps you analyse all business data
Have you ever had a problem maintaining inventory levels? It can be hard to know what stock you'll need for each job and when. An inventory management system can help you with this in two ways. Firstly, it can help with missing inventory, as all stock should move through the system before being distributed. Secondly, it can help you plan your inventory needs for upcoming jobs. For example, if you knew you were wiring a new home and had to order stock, you could simply upload specifications from the builder, and the inventory system can calculate exactly what you will need for the job, based on the requirements of your previous jobs. A system like this can save you valuable time, by ensuring you always have project quantities at hand when they're required. Find out more about the different types of inventory systems in our How-to Guide.
Quality control systems build job collaboration
Using a cloud based quality control system – whether it be a safety management system, job management software, inventory management or document sharing system – has the flow on effect of improving collaboration on projects. By storing all information in one place, all stakeholders can access exactly the same information at any given time, from any location. This decreases the chance of miscommunication about a project, as everyone can access master documents about action plans.
Systems help you stay on schedule
Working on a project with lots of individual tasks or staff member involved? Job management software is the perfect solution for keeping all stakeholders up to date with all current, future and previous tasks. With all content saved in one centralised location, this type of schedule keeps everyone current on their responsibilities, whilst also keeping the project on target for deadlines.

3 Questions to Ask Yourself about Virtual Assistant Training
There are various virtual assistant training programs offered online, but it can be hard to know which are going to be worth the investment. When you enroll in a training program designed for virtual assistants, you are investing your money and your valuable time. There are 3 questions you need to ask yourself before you commit to any one training program to be sure you receive a return on your investment.
1. Is this training something I need?
Keep in mind anyone can offer virtual assistant training and a certification, but that doesn't mean its something you need. The VA industry is unregulated and no specific training or certification is required. Take an honest look at your level of proficiency in your core skills and determine what areas need improvement. Everyone has strong and weak areas; and successful professionals are always looking for ways to improve.
Don't just sign up for a training program because you believe certification will make you appear more professional to potential clients.
Your clients will be more interested in your skills and the quality of your services, rather than proof of certification. Take a look at the specific skills you will be learning and choose only the training programs that will actually enhance your skills or give you a chance to quickly learn something new.
2. Is the training program designed around current in-demand skills that will actually help you grow your business?
There are specific skills business owners are looking for today that you want to focus your business around. You certainly don't want to spend time and money learning outdated skills that are no longer in high demand. Remember technology is changing rapidly and businesses are struggling to keep up.
Your virtual assistant business will evolve over time and your clients will depend upon you to keep up to date on the latest trends…particularly in online marketing, social marketing and telecommunications. Look for a training program that teaches the skills you need to offer the services today's business owners are looking for.
3. Is this training program high quality and will it deliver what it promises?
Some virtual assistant training programs have been around a long time and earned an excellent reputation. These training programs focus on the most needed skills today and will actually help you build your business. Look for a training program that delivers content in a variety of ways…online in videos, audios and in print for reading offline.
Today it's easier than ever to take courses online conveniently around your home life and work schedule. A good VA training course will teach you valuable skills and allow you to measure your progress so that you are sure you fully understand what you are learning.

Step 1Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Pat the roast dry with a paper towel, then season all over with 1 tablespoon salt.
Step 2Grind the peppercorns, allspice berries, cumin seeds, dried mint, cinnamon and nutmeg in a coffee grinder or with a mortar and pestle. Spread the spice mixture onto a baking sheet and roll the roast in the spices until it is covered.
Step 3Heat a large braising pan over medium heat, then add the olive oil and heat until hot. Add the roast and sear it on all sides until browned. Remove the roast to a plate and set aside.
Step 4Add the onion and garlic to the pan and saute until the onion is translucent. Add the lamb back to the pan, along with any juices that have accumulated. Add the broth and pomegranate molasses, so that the liquid comes halfway up the roast. Place a piece of parchment paper over the roast and cover the pan with the lid or a tightly fitted piece of foil.
Step 5Braise in the oven for 2 hours. Halfway through cooking, turn the roast over so that the uncovered portion is submerged in the braising liquid. The finished roast will be well-done but fork-tender. Remove the roast to a plate and allow to rest, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 6Make the sauce: Skim and discard the fat from the top of the braising liquid. Strain the liquid into a medium saucepan and bring it to a boil over high heat. Reduce by one-fourth or until desired consistency is achieved. Season with salt to taste. Slice the roast and serve with the sauce spooned over it.

Baton Rouge, La. — Mary Landrieu is Louisiana political royalty, but her reign as the state's senior senator may come to an end this fall.
Like California's Jerry Brown, New York's Andrew Cuomo, and Arkansas's Mark Pryor, Landrieu was born into Democratic politics. Her father, Moon Landrieu, served eight years as mayor of New Orleans before he became Jimmy Carter's secretary of housing and urban development. Her younger brother Mitch was reelected as mayor of the Big Easy in February.
Landrieu is now facing a reelection battle of her own, and it will be the most difficult of her career. For Republicans, recapturing a majority in the U.S. Senate may hinge on her defeat.
The race is shaping up to be bellwether of sorts for the GOP's chances to take over the Senate. The latest polls show her running neck and neck with her most formidable Republican opponent, Bill Cassidy, a 56-year-old congressman, but it won't be an easy fight.
The nonprofit group Americans for Prosperity, which has spent nearly $30 million already this election cycle, is running ads against Landrieu in every media market in the state. But a source close to the group says the Louisiana race ranks just "sixth or seventh" on the group's target list, behind races in West Virginia, South Dakota, Montana, Arkansas, North Carolina, and Alaska (in the first three of those states, the Republican is running for an open seat).
As it happens, the GOP needs to pick up six seats to recapture a Senate majority — a win in Louisiana could put the GOP over the top.
Landrieu, 58, has held public office for virtually her entire adulthood. She was elected to the Louisiana state house at the age of 25 and has fought to stay in public life: After losing a gubernatorial bid in 1995, she put her defunct campaign infrastructure to good use, turning it around to run a successful campaign for the state's open Senate seat the following year.
In 1996, she had the help of President Clinton, who barnstormed the South on behalf of Democratic congressional candidates. She was also aided by Louisiana's jungle-primary system, in which candidates of both parties appear on a single ballot. As six conservative Republicans duked it out among themselves, Landrieu gained ground. In the runoff, she beat Republican state representative Woody Jenkins by three tenths of a percentage point.
Republicans saw their next chance to take the seat in 2008 (in 2002, Republicans ran Suzie Terrell, a former elections commissioner with little name recognition). Much had changed in the years since Landrieu was first elected to federal office: George W. Bush carried the once-Democratic state in two close national elections, and Bobby Jindal was elected governor, while Democratic voter registration continually declined. Democrats accounted for 52 percent of Louisiana voters in 2008, down from 60 in 2000 (that number stands at 48 percent today, still higher than the registered Republican tally, 28 percent). Hurricane Katrina, too, had displaced more than 90,000 mostly African-American Democrats from New Orleans.
But Landrieu's challenger, John Kennedy, wasn't the ideal candidate for the increasingly red state: He had run for an open seat Senate seat in 2004 as a Democrat, and David Vitter emerged victorious in that election. As state treasurer in 2004, he had endorsed John Kerry, but he ran against Landrieu as a supporter of the Bush agenda. Landrieu was able to repurpose the opposition research Republicans had produced on Kennedy in his state-treasurer race, and one of her attack ads closed, "John Kennedy, one confused politician." And, of course, Landrieu had Candidate Obama, in a state with a substantial share of black voters, to buoy Democratic and African-American turnout.
Over the past six years, Louisiana has become even more favorable to Republicans. In fact, Landrieu remains the only Democrat elected to statewide office. Since 2011, when Republicans gained control of the state senate for the first time since Reconstruction, the GOP has controlled every major statewide office. Mitt Romney carried the state by 17 points.
#page#Landrieu has maintained her position in part by balancing the demands of the national Democratic party with the views of her constituents. She supports the Keystone pipeline and opposes cap-and-trade legislation. She recently became chairman of the Senate energy committee, where she can, and surely will, push for offshore oil and gas development, a move backed by the many companies that do business off Louisiana's Gulf Coast.
In 2014, though, neither Bill Clinton nor Barack Obama is boosting Democratic fortunes at the top of the ticket, and right now, the Democrats' troubled health-care bill appears likely to overshadow all other issues.
Many endangered Democrats have pled ignorance and turned quickly on the Affordable Care Act this year, but Landrieu has done a more delicate dance. She proposed a bill to allow people to keep health-insurance plans canceled due to the law, but she's refused to back down from the president's promise that Americans "can keep their plans." She told The Weekly Standard in October, "We said when we passed that, 'If you had insurance that was good insurance that you wanted to keep it, you could keep it.'" She also said in August that traveling to Europe made her ashamed of her own country because "their workers all manage to have health insurance that can't be taken away."
Enter Bill Cassidy, M.D., the Republican congressman determined to make Landrieu pay for her support for the law. A physician who has spent years treating the indigent in Louisiana's charity-hospital system, Cassidy says he ran for Congress in 2008 so that he could play a role in the national health-care debate.
Over lunch at George's, a dimly lit dive that sits under an I-10 overpass in Baton Rouge, Cassidy rails against Louisiana's state hospital system, which he believes augurs poorly for the fate of Obamacare. By way of illustration, he tells me about a coworker, a Ugandan doctor who, after navigating his truck through the potholes that litter the drive to the entrance of the old Earl K. Long Medical Center, which closed last year, exclaimed, "I thought I was in Kampala!"
"When the bureaucrat has the power, the patient's service suffers," Cassidy says. President Obama and the Democrats who crafted the Affordable Care Act "never had my formative experience."
That experience includes nearly three decades working with poor and uninsured patients, who constitute an above-average share of Louisiana's population. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, he mobilized a group of volunteers to convert an abandoned Kmart into a field hospital where he and others treated storm victims.
#page#Cassidy specializes in liver disease and, when he is back home in Baton Rouge, oversees a hepatitis clinic, treating patients and working with medical students and residents. "My real love is liver disease," he says at one point during rounds at his clinic, a statement that may never have been uttered by a congressman.
He is tall and square-jawed, with a serious mien, but he is quick-witted and almost joyous with patients and with his students. "You're looking good man, you're making some good changes in your life," he tells a 41-year-old African-American man who has come to the clinic suffering from both Hepatitis C and HIV. Inspecting his arms, Cassidy asks, "Did you used to donate blood or shoot drugs?" Then, surveying extensive burn marks across the man's chest, he inquires about them and learns the patient was scorched in a fire as a three-year-old. Cassidy puts his large hand on the patient's shoulder and exhales. "Oh, man, I just feel sorry for you when you were three years old, buddy." Before heading out of the exam room, he stiffens a bit and tells him, "Again, I'm Dr. Cassidy, and I'm also your congressman. If I can serve you as your congressman, let me know."
Cassidy is not a career politician, and he takes flak from the right for not being conservative enough. In 1988, he supported Michael Dukakis over George H. W. Bush, and in 2002 he donated $500 to Landrieu, something she will surely throw at him in forthcoming debates. (The same year, Cassidy's wife donated $1,000 to Landrieu's runoff opponent, Suzie Terrell.) The Senate Conservatives Fund has endorsed Cassidy's tea-party opponent, Air Force veteran Rob Maness, who has yet to gain ground in public polls.
The congressman tells me he's gotten increasingly conservative over the years. "The facts of life are conservative," he says.
Anticipating some of these attacks, Cassidy has gone out of his way to buck the party establishment. He lost his role on the GOP whip team earlier this month after opposing House leadership's stance, and wasn't shy about broadcasting it. He also resisted House speaker John Boehner's attempt to put the issue of immigration on the table this year (Landrieu voted for the Senate's comprehensive immigration bill last year).
At this early stage in the campaign, Cassidy seems to be getting traction. The most recent poll by the Democratic firm Public Policy Polling has him essentially tied with Landrieu. He is among the top five fundraisers on the Republican side in this election cycle — indeed, he's raised nearly as much money so far as Landrieu herself (Landrieu has more cash on hand, though, $5.8 million to Cassidy's $4.2).
Louisiana's jungle primary, which goes to a runoff if no candidate gets 50 percent of the vote, takes place this November 4, general-election day in the rest of the country. If Landrieu and Cassidy finish as the top two, the runoff would be December 6 — and Cassidy could literally be the candidate who takes back the Senate for the GOP.

Washington DC – ASSET hosted a discussion panel on the estate tax moderated by Tax Foundation president Scott Hodge on September 30th, the day before the Government shut down. Held in the Cannon House office building to make it convenient for tax counsel in many offices, the event lasted an hour with panelists Grover Norquist from Americans for Tax Reform, former Senator Bob Bennett (R-UT) and Chuck Marr from the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities.
Entrepreneur/Car Dealer Jack Fitzgerald kicked off the meeting noting that his involvement with ASSET came about because as a used car salesman who will soon face Saint Peter, he did not want the jobs of his 1,400 employees to be a concern. "It's going to be hard enough for a used car salesman" said Fitzgerald. "ASSET is a better way to stop the harm of the estate tax but assure the same revenue."
Chuck Marr from CBPP disagreed. With a staked out position calling for an increase in the rate to 45% and a desire to drop the exemption level to $3.5 million, Marr made the case that a second or third generation of idle rich such as a perfume heiress in the current headlines does little to add economic activity.
Scott Hodge moderated the event with an overview of the current estate tax system, questioning if we will get beyond the current debate. Grover Norquist from ATR chimed in that the death tax is so offensive. Ultimately ATR advocates for full repeal of the estate tax. "Repealing the death tax is a big priority for taxpayers. Any and every way to approach this is welcome. ASSET is a good plan and should be a big part of the discussion."
Senator Bennett made the case that ASSET's solution offers the best of all worlds, because it's an option for the taxpayer and not forced on them. By changing the collection method of the estate tax you stop all the harm immediately, but preserve the revenue that many advocate is a must have. "Death is no longer a taxable event, you are tying the paying of the tax to an economic event instead" said Senator Bennett. Citing his own experience working for Howard Hughes after he passed away and navigating the estate tax laws, he explained that in the end the government could actually end up with more revenue.
The briefing was most animated while Chuck Marr and Grover Norquist traded jibes about the purported political activities of the IRS and the role the IRS plays in valuing assets at the time of death.

2018 Acura RDX Reviews and Ratings
AWD w/Technology Pkg
Design is very clumsy, difficult to use, and not predictable. Also does not have additional storage under the rear cargo area for emergency equipment, etc.
Expert Reviews
The Acura RDX is a compact crossover now in the sixth year of its generation. It was a trailbreaker when it was introduced, a daring step into the uncharted territory of compact sport SUV. It's long in the tooth now.
Available with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, RDX comes with a 3.5-liter V6 that makes 276 horsepower and 252 pound-feet of torque. It's mated to a slick paddle-shifting six-speed automatic transmission.
Over the years its mission has grown to near-luxury, to the point where a fully loaded RDX can match the starting price of rivals like the BMW X3 and Mercedes GLC. But its entry-level model is still quite a lot less, bringing the value of affordability to the RDX.
Acura RDX comes standard with 3.6-liter V6 and front-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive available ($1500).
The 2018 Acura RDX ($36,775) comes with dual-zone automatic climate control, moonroof, power liftgate, keyless ignition, LED headlamps, rearview camera, and heated front leatherette seats, power adjustable. (Prices are MSRP and do not include destination charge.)
RDX with the Technology package ($40,475) has real leather upholstery, higher infotainment on 8.0-inch screen, upgraded audio and 18-inch alloy wheels. AcuraWatch includes adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warnings, lane departure warnings, and lane keep assist ($1300).
RDX with Advance package the ($43,475) brings ventilated front seats, foglamps, auto-dimming exterior mirrors, remote start, and parking sensors, and AcuraWatch.
The busy RDX features a beak nose on a two-box shape. It's reasonably harmonious. The five-square LED headlamps blend smoothly. The nose is neither aggressive nor flashy. You don't do a double-take.
The base 17-inch alloy wheels could stand to be a bit more flashy, like the machine-finished 18-inch alloys that come with the Technology package.
The busy cabin shows its age, especially in gray, and struggles to meet that near-luxury tag. For example some matte silver painted plastic trim looks like it came off the modest CR-V. But close your eyes and the RDX feels like a crossover costing much more. It's solid and quiet. Open them and you'll see that the large center console has lots of storage space. The thick-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel suggests cornering tenacity that's not quite there.
Front occupants will find it spacious and comfortable, with power adjustment on both seats, even the base model, with especially good lumbar support.
The rear passengers face a low bench seat, in an attempt to improve headroom which remains limited. It supposedly can fit three adults but we don't recommend it. It folds almost flat, to create a good-sized 61.3 cubic feet of cargo space. And then there's the bonus of another 15.6 cubic feet under the cargo floor.
The infotainment on the Technology and Advance RDX isn't user-friendly. The menus are complicated, and a second screen in the process doesn't help. Another drawback to the system is Apple CarPlay or Android Auto aren't available.
The 3.6-liter V6 engine is powerful and refined, and brings a lot of grunt with its torque. It makes 279 hp with 252 lb-ft.
The electric power steering is direct, better than that the Lexus RX. And the handling is accurate, if not entirely sports-car-like. Out on the wide-open road, at high speed, it's rock steady. The suspension takes the bumps in stride.
We'll stick to the base model, in avoidance of the frustrating infotainment on the upscale models. We're fine with the good leatherette, and we still get the great V6 and slick six-speed paddle-shifting automatic. Comfortable supportive seats. The rear passengers will be a bit tight, but when they're gone there's tons of room for cargo. Sharp direct handling at all times. Cheaper than a BMW. So what if the trim isn't fancy.

2016 National Garden Railway Convention, Hosted by BAGRS
BAGRS RRs Open for NGRC2016
Established in 1988, the Bay Area Garden Railway Society is one of the oldest and largest regional garden railway clubs in the nation. We've hosted the National Garden Railway Convention five times, the most recent being the highly successful event held in 2016. We've also hosted two West Coast Regional Meets.
Our club aims to help new garden railroaders find the help they need, starting here.
Our membership includes all types of garden railroaders, from families with young children and people just starting out in the hobby, to nationally recognized hobbyists and modelers that enjoy sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm. Meetings mainly consist of monthly (April-Nov.) open house tours of backyard railroads throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. We have an annual summer picnic and our large annual meeting at Hiller Aviation Museum featuring speakers, clinics, swap meet and more.
Open house tours provide members with the opportunity to share their railroad
s a
d run trains for others who share their passion for the hobby. Visiting the open
layouts is a great way to socialize with fellow members, learn about the hobby, and exchange ideas.
We encourage you to find loads of resources while browsing our website. Find even more information in the members' section, like sale items, and photo-stories of members' layouts.

Chartwell House
Explore the family home and garden of Sir Winston Churchill on this short walk inĀWesterham, Kent. The hillside gardens include pretty lakes created by Churchill himself, a kitchen garden which produced fruit and vegetables for 10 Downing Street and the Marycot - a playhouse designed for his youngest daughter Mary. There is also an orchard with the colourful Japanese crab apple and a pretty rock garden.
You can also explore the 800 acres of the wider estate with miles of woodland paths and fabulous views of the Weald from Mariners Hill. The walk also visits Toy's Hill with more than 200 acres (81 hectares) of woodland, abundant wildlife and more splendid views of the surrounding Kent countryside.
In the house the rooms remain much as they were when he lived there with a number of his fine paintings on display.
Chartwell is located just a few miles from Sevenoaks and Oxted. The Greensand Way walking route runs past the estate so there is scope for continuing your walk along this trail if you have time.
You could pick up the trail and head to the nearby Toys Hill. Here you will find a wonderful viewpoint with views over the Weald of Kent. The area also includes the delightful Emmetts Garden and has strong connections with Octavia Hill, the founder of the National Trust.

January 30 2009, Moscow. – In 2008, Aeroflot Group became the leader among the carriers on the Russian market of both international and domestic passenger traffic. Last year, the Group flew around 12 million people, 14% more than in 2007. This figure includes over 5 million passengers on domestic routes, 19% more than in 2007. The Group's share in the passenger traffic industry is estimated to have grown by 3% as compared to 2007 and reached approximately 20% of all passenger traffic in Russia. On domestic routes, JSC Aeroflot flew 3.6 million passengers (27% more than in 2007); JSC Aeroflot-Don flew 567,000 passengers; JSC Aeroflot-Nord carried 922,000 passengers.
The CEO Valery Okulov said that, "JSC Aeroflot has Russia's highest level of domestic traffic growth, which together with the steady growing passenger load factor and revenue rate per seat kilometer proves that the company's orientation toward the high-priority of the home market is justified."
In spite of the stiff competition with Russian and international airline companies and the ongoing economical crisis, Aeroflot was able to successfully implement its anti-crisis program and reach an agreement with petroleum suppliers as to the market price formula for jet fuel at Sheremetyevo Airport. That, combined with the continuing air fleet renovation and other measures, has not only enabled the company to finish 2008 with positive results but also prepared a solid basis for 2009, which promises to be still more challenging.

1912 Summer Games: Next Summer Games
Host City: Stockholm, Sweden
Date Started: July 7, 1912
Date Finished: July 12, 1912
Events: 1
Participants: 32 (32 men and 0 women) from 10 countries
Youngest Participant: Carl Paaske (21 years, 343 days)
Oldest Participant: Carl Pauen (53 years, 91 days)
Most Medals (Athlete): 3 athletes with 1 medal
Most Medals (Country): Sweden (3 medals)
Modern pentathlon was a new sport at the 1912 Olympics, but it has been contested at every Olympics since. It was the brainchild of the founder of the Modern Olympic Games, [Baron Pierre de Coubertin]. The sport consists of riding on horseback, fencing, shooting, swimming, and cross-country running, although eventually shooting and cross-country running would be combined into one competition, similar to biathlon. The 1912 modern pentathlon was held at five different sites, with each discipline using the venue for its separate sport.
One interesting point about the 1912 modern pentathlon is that a woman entered, Miss Helen Preece, a 15-year-old British equestrienne. More details on her attempted participation are given in the event description, although she did not compete. The Swedes dominated the event, taking the first 4, 6 of the top 7, and 7 of the top 9 places. The first non-Swedish finisher was American [George Patton], in fifth, who later became a famous American general in World War II.

On this day, my good friend DeAnne and I decided to scout specific places for my very first photoshoot I was preparing for my Graduate Portfolio Show. We are a perfect combination because she is an aspiring photographer and I am an aspiring fashion stylist.

So far, this new chapter in my life is an exciting one.

First Canadian Apple Store confirmed for Yorkdale Shopping CenterExclusive - Canadian Apple fans seeking a hands-on shopping experience will have to look no further than the Yorkdale Shopping Center come mid-2005.
Canada\'s first Apple retail store will touch down in the Yorkdale Shopping Center in Toronto, Ontario, AppleInsider positively confirmed on Wednesday. The store is set to open by the Summer of 2005.
Previous reports had noted a finalized agreement between Apple and the mall\'s leasing agency, though it was unclear if the store would be the first open; sources have also reported that Apple plans to launch a store in the newly constructed Vaughan Mills Mall.
The 1.6-million-square-foot Yorkdale Shopping Center is home to other flagship outlets such as the Sony Store, and ranks as the third largest shopping centre in Canada. Apple and JRoss Retail Recruiters, Canadas leading retail recruiting specialist, are now working side-by-side to carefully select a team of Mac enthusiasts to staff the store.
In a message posted to potential applicants, Apple asked, \"Would you rather be in the front row of a MacWorld keynote speech than have free cable TV for a year? Do customer compliments make you beam like a proud parent? Does new technology make your jaw drop? Are you okay with helping to change the world?\"
\"Yeah us, too,\" the company answered. \"Were Apple Retail, and were changing the way people shop for technology. And, were changing where they do it.\"
Earlier this month, an e-mail sent to employees and members of the Canadian Apple reseller channel announced that an Apple branded retail store location would open in Toronto in 2005, but provided no further details.
If recently uncovered internal documents are of any guidance, Canadians can expect up to four Apple retail stores to turn up in shopping malls over the next 24 months.

When designing enclosures, incorporating cam or compression latches allow for quick and easy access to a door or panel. Depending on the needs of application, the need for fast access may take priority over the need for enhanced security. Choosing a cam or compression latch with a hand-operated head style for example, can make a difference not only in speed of access and functionality, but in operator usability as well.
A hand-operated latch provides quick access and eliminates the need for a handle. For instance, when using a latch with a T-Handle head style, users can turn the latch and pull open the door or panel in one motion, with one hand.
Hand-operated latches are a good fit for applications where the user wears gloves. Keys and tools can be difficult to operate with a gloved hand which forces the user to remove the glove, endangering their hand and possibly breaking safety protocol.
For additional safety, hand-operated latches can be installed with a cup-style mounting, which increases the latch's grip range and makes it flush with the surface of the door or panel. A flush design helps prevent articles of clothing from getting caught on the latch during routine maintenance and eliminates any safety issues.
Southco's line of cam and compression latches are available in a variety of hand-operable head styles that provide the speed, functionality and ease-of-use ideal for applications where quick access to an enclosure is required. Southco's hand-operated latches can also be combined with locks for an additional layer of security if necessary.
To learn more about Southco's hand-operated cam and compression latches, visit our Cam and Compression Latching page.
