Graphene has received a lot of attention lately for its ability to conduct electricity and disperse heat , talents coveted in the world of tiny electronics. This week Swiss physicists are throwing another material into the ring for substituting, or complementing, silicon: molybdenite.
A mineral found in major deposits in Colorado, Utah and New Mexico, molybdenite (MoS2) is a layer of molybdenum sandwiched between two sheets of sulfur.
Molybdenite is currently found in steel alloys and lubricants, but the researchers are adding very small transistors, LEDs and solar cells to its potential future destinations. Publishing their work in Nature Nanotechnology, they demonstrate the mineral's use as a semiconductor. According to the study, their molybdenite device can consume 100,000 times less energy during a standby state than a more conventional silicon transistor.
Andras Kis of Laboratory of Nanoscale Electronics and Structures (LANES) in a statement:
In a 0.65-nanometer-thick sheet of MoS2, the electrons can move around as easily as in a 2-nanometer-thick sheet of silicon. But it's not currently possible to fabricate a sheet of silicon as thin as a monolayer sheet of MoS2.
Like graphene (a single sheet of carbon, 1-atom thick), molybdenite is a two-dimensional and less "bulky" than silicon. Graphene, however, does not have a band gap, which limits its use as a transistor. Band gaps help control the flow of electrons, switching the transistor on and off. With a 1.8 electron-volt (eV) gap, the researchers say molybdenite could do this easily.
But don't rule graphene out of the competition just yet. It's still super strong with amazing heat conductivity. And because graphene's transparent, the researchers suggest combining the two materials for areas such optelectronics and solar cells. That's teamwork.
Still, it's early days for bringing graphene into our electronic and computer chips. And even earlier for molybdenite research.

It is well documented that women in the criminal justice system have different and more severe needs than men. Women are in the minority in the criminal justice system, approximately 5% of the prison population and 15% of those serving a community sentence. Women are often neglected in a system designed for the majority. Over 53% of women in the criminal justice system experienced abuse as children, compared to 27% of men. Far more women than men are primary carers for children, with significant consequences for the children of those who go to prison, as well as the mothers. 49% of women in prison suffer from both anxiety and depression, as compared to 23% of men. Some are engaged in street sex work and significant numbers have chronic substance misuse problems.
The Corston Report called for a radical change in the way that women at risk of offending are treated across the whole of the criminal justice system. Corston advocated a women-centred approach through the extension of women's community centres; reservation of custodial sentences for only the most serious and violent offenders posing a risk to the public; and geographically dispersed, small, multi-functional custodial centres for women. Ten years after the publication of the report, many of the damaging effects identified by Corston – for example, the disproportionately harmful impact of prison on women and their children and the futility of short custodial sentences – remain. However, the Ministry of Justice's 2018 Female Offender Strategy recognises the ineffectiveness of short sentences and seeks to reduce their use. Scotland introduced a presumption against sentences of less than three months in 2011. This was extended to 12 months in 2017.
Our members
Our members provide a wide variety of gender specific services for women, including the one-stop-shop approach that delivers a woman-centred, holistic package of support in a safe and women only environment. Evidence from the Ministry of Justice datalab demonstrates that these women-centred holistic services work.
Are you looking for voluntary organisations working with women? Browse our Directory of offender services.
Read Clinks case studies showcasing the innovative work of our members working with women.
Clinks thinks
Clinks thinks a cross departmental strategy for women and girls, led by the Ministry of Justice, should ensure that women are diverted away from the criminal justice system at the earliest opportunity. To do this, we need to increase the use of gender specific community sentences and make sure we invest in specialist voluntary organisations, including women's centres.
What Clinks is doing
Clinks seeks to highlight the specific and often neglected needs of women in the criminal justice system and to provide support to the organisations that work with them. We carry out this work in partnership with specialist women's organisations, such as Agenda, and campaigning organisations such as Women in Prison and the Prison Reform Trust. If you have issues you would like raised with the government, please contact Kate Aldous.
Through these partnerships, we continue to make the case for the distinct needs of women to be recognised and addressed by the criminal justice system and related agencies.
Clinks is committed to supporting women-centred community provision and the wider women's sector. We know that strong community based women's services are the best way to make a real difference to the lives of women at risk of entering, or those already in, the criminal justice system. If you would like support on a specific issue, please contact Kate Aldous.
Clinks publishes a quarterly ebulletin providing a roundup of developments, member activities, events and publications.
Strengthening family ties
In 2016, in partnership with Clinks, Lord Michael Farmer was commissioned to chair an independent review into how supporting men in prison in England and Wales to engage with their families can reduce reoffending and assist in addressing intergenerational crime. In 2018, Lord Farmer is reviewing the recommendations of his review through the lens of the needs of women in contact with the criminal justice system. It is anticipated that the review will look more widely at how to strengthen family ties for women serving sentences in the community and in custody, as well as under probation supervision after release. Clinks is a member of the review's expert panel and is leading its call for evidence. The review will be published before the end of 2018.
Networking forums: working with women in the criminal justice system
Our quarterly networking forums, hosted in partnership with Agenda, provide support, information and networking opportunities to those working with women in contact with the criminal justice system. They provide updates on policy, member activity and host speakers on relevant topics.
Clinks gathers intelligence at these events to inform our representative work with government and other stakeholders, including the MoJ's Advisory Board for Female Offenders and the Reducing Reoffending Third Sector Advisory Group.
If you would like to attend the next women's networking forum, you can find details of upcoming events here. If you would like to suggest content for a network meeting, please contact Kate Aldous.
The women's networking forum is chaired by Laura Seebohm, RR3 member and Operational Director at Changing Lives.
Read this group's papers, presentations and notes from previous network meetings
Women's Breakout merger
Clinks worked closely with Women's Breakout, the infrastructure organisation for women's organisations in criminal justice. After it faced insurmountable financial issues it approached Clinks to take on its services. Following consideration by the Boards of Women's Breakout and Clinks, alongside consultation with Women's Breakout members, it was agreed that Women's Breakout should merge into Clinks. The merger took place on the 1st August 2017. We're working to understand the priorities and needs of Women's Breakout's 59 member organisations so we can take this crucial work forward.
Advising the Ministry of Justice
Clinks represents voluntary organisations working with women in the criminal justice system. We offer intelligence to senior civil servants and successive ministers on key issues for the sector in order to ensure policy and decision making is informed and up-to-date.
Our representative work with the government and other stakeholders includes representation on the Ministry of Justice's Advisory Board for Female Offenders (ABFO). The Reducing Reoffending Third Sector Advisory Group (RR3), the advisory group to the Ministry of Justice includes a representative from the women's sector. If you would like to raise an issue with either of these groups, please email ABFO rep Kate Aldous or RR3 rep firstname.lastname@example.com

Dear Brayden,
Happy Birthday! Nine years ago today Blaine and I managed to fool someone in Heaven's Baby Placement Department into thinking we were mature enough to be parents, and that afternoon, you were placed in our arms. I'm not quite sure what they were thinking, as we could barely keep a houseplant alive, but we were thrilled. In fact, we haven't stopped being thrilled since the day you were born.
I am sorry, though, that you got "starter" parents and have had to endure some of the dumber parenting mistakes that have been made in our family. Like the time I hit the "collapse" lever on the stroller and folded the whole thing by accident, with you still inside. Like the time I accidentally got your tummy-skin caught in the high-chair buckle and couldn't figure out why you wouldn't quit screaming. Like the first time we flew with you, a 10-month old, and let you gnaw on the flight-safety-instructions …. only to have you come down with the worst cold EVER a few days later. Like the time I lost you at church (although really, that was sort of your own fault, since you got on the elevator and pushed the button all by yourself at eighteen months and were perfectly content to wander the upper floors of the church building all alone, until a total stranger brought you back down to me, as I was near sobbing and hyperventilating by then.) Like the time … actually, maybe I should stop before I incriminate myself.
What small bits of parenting wisdom Blaine and I have gleaned over the years have most certainly come at your expense. When you are "first", your mommy and daddy have to learn on your shift. No book or magazine prepares someone for being a parent. It might help us to develop a theory or two, but let's be honest, all practical experience is done on the firstborn, the guinea pig of the birth-order. Then the next kid comes along and we feel like pros. So thank you for giving us nine years worth of confidence.
Thank you for bringing us, also, nine years of joy, laughter, and happiness. We love you dearly. Happy Birthday.
PS. In my previous post about the gentleman on yesterday's flight, I want to make sure you realize that it wasn't my intent to gripe about heavy people. I'm hardly a pixie-fairy, myself. Maybe that's my point. Perhaps the airline should match people up at the same time they print the boarding passes, based on their physical size. I most likely wouldn't mind sharing my seat with my neighbor's ass, if I only weighed 100 pounds. BUT I DON'T, PEOPLE. My ass needed a seat all its own. That was my point.
Kendrie: "Well, Kellen is one inch taller than Brayden, but Dalton (our OKC cousin) is one inch skinnier than Kellen."
PSS. M.E., we love you dearly and will be grateful to you always.

Beneficiaries cannot be bound by an arbitration clause in testamentary trust documents. In Diaz v.

California Law Does Not Recognize A Claim For Tortious Interference With Inheritance If Probate Law Already Provides A Remedy
Over the past 20 years, approximately half of the states have recognized a cause of action for tortious interference with an expected inheritance. California has not. In Munn v.

Plans are being made to have a "premier polo facility" for the South East at Oakwood Park, on the Maresfield by-pass.
And to comply with Hurlingham Polo Association regulations – the governing body for polo – a planning application has been submitted to build a storage/livestock building and polo arena on the site.
They have been submitted by Francis Matthews who says he secured the freehold of the site last year and plans to relocate a polo club there from Hickstead.
Documents submitted to Wealden Council with the planning application say the aim is to have a purpose-built, full-size, laser-levelled polo field and launch a "premier polo facility for the South East".
A design and access statement says the nearest venues offering comparable facilities are as far away as Windsor Great Park to the north and Cowdray Park to the west.
Mr Matthews says he is a fully qualified HPA instructor of 12 years experience. He uses his own string of ten to 15 polo ponies to instruct newcomers and for hiring to regular club members.
"I encourage a broad cross section of the community to attend taster sessions and regular polo training.
"In addition to the club members, I currently organise regular group sessions for both Brighton and Sussex university students, preparing them for National tournaments.
"The Riding for the Disabled have also expressed a keen interest to become involved in the development of the site for their regular use."
The statement adds there will be opportunities for local businesses to promote themselves through sponsorship, and corporate entertainment, during tournaments and events.
And there will be various job opportunities as the club is established.
The statement says that for the HPA club affiliation to be successfully transferred to the site the infrastructure will have to comply with HPA regulations as included in the planning application.
The statement adds that a previous planning permission allows for a significant number of horse lorries and trailers entering and exiting the site and the quota is unlikely to be reached as a result of the new plans.
It says: "There are seldom any public spectators as there are no professional players at the club to raise the level above amateur.
"I do not currently intend to be organising any equestrian events other than polo, and therefore this will also mean that the calculations submitted for the current permitted use dramatically exceed this of my intended use.
"Notwithstanding allowances for future expansion and growth, the current permitted use will more than meet my predicted use."

An enjoyable weekend in the Kennedy household over the long 4th of July weekend, though of course keeping three boys tied up over the summer is always a challenge! We managed a decent of free time for Kirsten (because she sho' as heck don't get much during the week), activities with the boys, and lo' and behold, Kirsten and I even managed an hour-long conversation with only minor interruptions from the same-said boys!
Friday afternoon I managed to peel out of the office around 1400 and head for Elkmont, AL to put in a long run on the Richard Martin Trail, a rails-to-trail conversion and newly-designated National Recreation Trail. I had been meaning to explore it and log some miles, but the loss is mine, for it is a great piece of trail. I got started in mid-afternoon, parking at the railway depot right in Elkmont and using that as my personal aid station. The north section is about 4.6mi one-way, south section about 5.6mi one-way (10.2 mi total), with mileage markers every ½ mile in the path. The surface is fairly smooth crushed gravel the whole way, very run-able as I cranked out 8:30/mile pace most of the training session. Though I started in road shoes (NB904), got a few too many small, sharp stones in my foot, so flipped to a pair of Sportiva Wildcats after 90min and was comfortable rest of the evening. I managed to log about 33 miles, pushing the final few miles in the dark among the fireflies and night sounds.
Alas, I rarely sleep well after such an effort, so suffered a restless 'night' of sleep and gave up around 0530 on Saturday morning. So made a light breakfast and some coffee, read the newspaper and caught up on a little email, all before Matthew (my oldest) rose at 0615. After getting him a little breakfast, we drove up to north Huntsville and explored some of the Land Trust's Wade Mountain Preserve for a few hours. After wearing him down somewhat, treated him to a special breakfast at IHOP back in central Huntsville, watching him scarf pancakes and getting a preview of what my monthly food bill will look like when all three of our boys are teenagers, i.e. probably higher than our mortgage! The kind waitress simply placed a full carafe of coffee on the table to help me out.
Matthew and I got home around 1100, and for a moment it was looking like I might take a little nap before digging into afternoon chores. But then Andy (our middle son) asks, "Daddy, can you take us to the waterslides at Southern Adventures?" So how can Dad possibly say no? So Kirsten and I quickly got all three boys into swim trunks and packed some snacks/towels and headed out. The season passes for this place are worth every dime! Luckily the park has a shady area for parents to sit and keep an eye on their progeny, so I parked there with a big bottle of iced green tea in an uncomfortable chair. And despite said tea, I dozed off after 45min, only to be awakened a few minutes (or was it an hour?) by a dripping child needing to go to the bathroom. So after a few hours there, the boys were sufficiently bored with the slides for one day and we went home. Once there, Kirsten was in her studio working on some new pieces. Matt and I mowed the front lawn and took care of other yard work before finally settling down late afternoon to prepare dinner and sit on my arse for a little bit.
Sunday morning was church time, and I got in a solid 90min tempo run in the early afternoon. Once home, I helped Matthew mow the back yard, then did math workbooks with the boys until dinner. We celebrated the 4th with a bunch of fireworks out in the street once the sun went down, managed to get the boys wound down and into bed around 2300.
Monday was a Federal holiday, so basically an extra Saturday for me! Got the boys up around 0700 and went to breakfast at Bruegger's followed by our typical exercise routine at the local YMCA, plus a chance to practice headstands. Our you noticing the trend of wearing these boys down?! Did a little grocery shopping to help Kirsten, got Matthew a much needed summer haircut, and home late morning. I changed up a got in my first full class at Crossfit-Huntsville (this place is going to be kicking my tail for many months to come). Got home early afternoon and prepped the evening's dinner before taking in a much-needed massage with Kim Susor to work on trashed muscles from many miles of running. Cooked dinner for my crew, let the boys watch a movie so Kirsten and I could take (how else do you think we could manage the feat of a 1-hr conversation?) and managed to get the boys to sleep around 2200.
Don't even ask me what's going on next weekend, I ain't got that far yet!

Is Netflix Now the Logical Home to STAR WARS TV Series?
In September, Netflix will become the exclusive "pay tv home" to all Disney movies from 2016 onward, including all films by Marvel Studios, Pixar, and Lucasfilm – but after already establishing success with Disney/Marvel-owned original content like Daredevil and Jessica Jones, could this ever-increasing partnership also pave the way for a long-gestating Star Wars live action series?
First up, a history lesson: In 2005, George Lucas announced plans for an expansive live-action Star Wars series (later confirmed to be titled Star Wars: Underworld) that would take place between Episodes III and IV on capital planet of Coruscant. Various networks including ABC considered the series at various points in time, and over 50 episodes were reportedly written – some even by Battlestar Galactica showrunner Ronald D. Moore. Star Wars prequel producer Rick McCallum compared it to The Godfather, even framing it as "Deadwood in space." Although considered dead following Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm in 2012, Star Wars brand manager Kathleen Kennedy said just this past December that it's something that's been discussed, and that Disney would still consider developing the series.
"Interestingly enough, that's an area we've spent a lot of time, reading through the material that he [Lucas] developed is something we very much would like to explore," Kennedy told Slashfilm.
Since inking their soon-to-be-enacted distribution deal with Disney almost four years ago, Netflix has found increasing success with original programming – including developing its sixth standalone series based on Disney-owned Marvel IP, and multiple seasons and critical acclaim for the shows Netflix has already premiered. Considering the level of success Disney has already had farming out the live-action TV shows based on one of its subsidiaries, is it far-fetched to consider that a Netflix original Star Wars TV series might be the next logical step for the partnership?
Star Wars already has a track record with Netflix with the long-running and well-received Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and with Netflix having announced that it plans to spend upwards of $6 billion dollars on original content in 2016 alone, it seems like the streaming service may have the budget to pull off what Lucasfilm would consider a series that meets the Star Wars production standards. Of course, with the unified vision of current Star Wars media, some of those scripts would likely need revision - a task Disney's dedicated Star Wars story team seems more than prepared for.
Likewise, there's no shortage of A-list actors and creators champing at the bit to join the Star Wars bandwagon, or to work with Netflix, meaning Netflix could possibly even pull in one of the current film series's slightly lesser stars to anchor - or simply recast a known character with a younger version as they've done with Han Solo for his *ahem* solo prequel.
As it stands, there's nothing on the books ... yet. But Disney and Netflix could take the plunge any time. In the meantime, the next live-action Star Wars installment is Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which is scheduled to hit theaters December 16.

Little Owl falls out of his nest whilst asleep, and when he bump bump bumps to the forest floor he can't find his Mummy anywhere. Fortunately Squirrel is on hand to find her – although not without making some fairly wide-of-the-mark suggestions first.
There is a long list of awards on the back of this admittedly very pretty picture book. Bisto Book of the Year, the Eilis Dillon Award for a first Children's Book, a Booktrust Best New Illustrators Award 2011, and winner of the Association of Illustrators Children's Book Gold Award. The Irish Times described it as 'A stunning literary and visual achievement'.
The quirky design is so striking that at the time of writing Little Owl is the Booktrust Twitter feed avatar.
Many others on Amazon have noticed the same problem, however: A Bit Lost is the same story (with the addition of some convivial biscuits) as Julia Donaldson's Monkey Puzzle. The latter is a such a rich, detailed book that it is extremely difficult for this very simple story not to be overshadowed by it.
That said, A Bit Lost is very, very subtle in its visual narrative. Where Monkey Puzzle dazzles with words, this charms with pictures. Squirrel's arm stretches pointedly as he suggests potential parents; Frog's eyes bulge comically; and when Mummy Owl is found she appears huge and inviting with outstretched wings. The pared down text has appealed to at least one three year old (although bought for her sister) who insists on being asked 'Is that his Mummy?' every time so that she can call out "NO! That's a BEAR!" And the little cyclical joke at the end as Little Owl closes his eyes and starts to tip sideways off his perch once again makes for a tidy finish.
The similarity with Monkey Puzzle makes it difficult to shower Chris Haughton with praise for any originality (although to be fair both books seem to owe elements to PD Eastman's 'Are You My Mother' from thirty years earlier) but his execution is without doubt both effective and attractive.

Global humanity now has an
opportunity to wise up
and rise up with a new Common Sense that fulfills
the U.S. Founders' vision for unity in our diversity
which is now a global issue with our new Net reality.
All crises we see in our
all-connected global village
is, at heart, a crisis in consciousness with a sense
of separation – walls in the mind – that divide us
with competitive win/lose struggles over ownership
and control of our human and physical resources.
That pathological paradigm
paralysis in now made
obsolete in principle by a promising paradigm shift
to extraordinary abundance capabilities for health
with Global TeLeCare, and prosperity with a new
economics of abundance based on clean power
with free-energy technologies and the abundant
social conscience cultured via Global TeLeComm.
All of our social, political
and economic problems
are resolved with the cooperative paradigm for our
personal and planetary win/win. All the insanity in
humanity we now see is a purging of pathology in
the dark-side Deep State that can no longer sustain
false-flags, fake news and power elite corruption
in the face of surging enlightenment worldwide.
"If the shadows appear to be getting darker,
it's because the light that casts them is
getting brighter." ~ Daniel Pinchbeck

Is it true that this is the 'darkness' now purging
with the light of enlightenment now surging?
Are you aware that it is
often darkest before the
dawn of mass enlightenment REVELATIONS?
Would you agree that the more you 'awaken'
the less you desire 'in-the-box' mass illusion?
Being well rounded with global sensibilities is a challenge
in a world of linear, left-brain, 'letter of the law' limitations.
So what does an enlightened upgrade of

The Negative Effects of Sitting Cross Legged
If you sit for a large portion of your day and you habitually cross your legs one way, BEWARE! First, it can potentially lead to a change in blood pressure and circulation of your lower extremities. Second, it could be exacerbating or creating low back pain due to muscle imbalance...

The production of jeeps by Mitsubishi motors of Japan started with producing jeeps under licence from Willys corporation USA. Over 30 different Jeep models were produced based on the CJ-3B body style, and built in Japan under licence from Willys from 1953 through 1998.
Mitsubishi Motors announced on 4 June 1998 that it would stop production of Jeep models, 45 years after their commercial debut in Japan. The Tokyo-based automaker produced its last Jeep in August. The decision was made because the vehicles don't meet new environmental and safety standards[1].
The Jeeps were been built with short(J3, J4, J44, J50), medium(J20) and long(J40) wheelbases as well as J30(wagon type) and J20H hard top models, with various gasoline and diesel 4-cylinder engines. The engines that were mainly used include Mitsubishi diesel 4DR5 (Normally aspirated) and 4DR6(turbocharged) engines.
Theses jeeps are known for their sturdy built and for their simple architecture letting owners swap engines easily. Many of these are popular in South east asian countries. Many jeepneys in Phlipines have been modified from theses Mitsubishi Jeeps [2] For a lack of common name theses are called "4DR5 jeeps" as many of theses came with or retro fitted with Mitsubishi 4DR engines.
The gasoline version of these vehicles came factory fitted with Mitsubishi Hurricane engine[3].

"Sustainability can't be like some sort of moral sacrifice or political dilemma or a philanthropic cause. It has to be a design challenge."
Product specification and selection
Manufacturers Credentials
Design for longevity and flexibility
Energy and water use
Internal waste management
Designs that minimise waste
Indoor air quality and product emissions
Effective space planning to improve comfort
We establish, for example, whether products contain recycled content or harmful substances (see Indoor air quality), whether the manufacturer offers take-back schemes, or even whether the timber will be responsibly sourced.
Recycled content consists of post-consumer and pre-consumer recycled content. Pre-consumer recycled content is material that is from the manufacturing process such as off- cuts. Post-consumer recycled content is material from another waste stream, such as plastic bottles being converted into carpets. The percentage of recycled content in a product is also investigated to determine the overall recycled content value.
'Take back' schemes are relatively new in the South African market. However, some suppliers are now offering schemes to take back their products at the end of their lifespan or upon replacement or upgrade, to be recycled or donated to charity. This ensures valuable resources do not end up in landfills.
Timber is a precious natural resource which, when farmed correctly, can be considered renewable. As far as possible, we specify timber that is sustainably sourced with third party certifications.
We consider where and how products are made.
We look for manufacturers who hold ISO 14001 certifications. ISO 14001 is the international standard that specifies requirements for an effective environmental management system (EMS) which assists in minimising an organisations' negative effects on the environment, and helps them comply with regulations, and to continually strive to improve on these.
We consider locally manufactured vs. imported products, and the manufactures credentials vs the possible carbon footprint implications of importing.
Guarantees are reviewed, and products are examined to ascertain whether they can be adapted to future changes. Generally, buying something new has an environmental impact which is greater than keeping an existing item. However, this needs to be balanced with the long-term goals of a business. Will an existing piece of furniture work with the new layout and contribute to an effective work environment? Does it suit our modern style of working?
Gone are the days of the extra-large desks in the corner office. We need to fit more people into less space and still ensure we are achieving the greatest level of employee wellbeing. For this reason, some of the time we have to suggest alternative furniture to meet the requirements of our ever-changing work environments, and the benefit of open plan office space also becomes evident here.
A high water flow rate from a tap can waste water unnecessarily, and so we ensure our sanitary ware and fittings' specification consider this.
Our standard mixer tap specifications have a maximum flow rate of 6l/min which is in line with the current South African Green Star limits for kitchen mixers.
Acknowledging that we live and work in a water scarce country, we will always try upgrading the mixer to an even lower flow rate, where possible.
We take note of the energy consumption of our electrical fittings and appliance specifications. All new light fittings are energy efficient and we recommend the use of occupancy sensors in enclosed areas. Electrical engineers can assist with calculating the payback period for such additions, so that you can make well informed financial decisions.
Provision is made in our layouts and designs for recycle bins at print stations and staff cafés or coffee stops. The bins need to be accessible and serviceable to ensure long term use that encourages high recycle rates. We will work with your waste management consultant to determine your waste stream requirements and ensure that you have exactly what you need from a space allocation perspective, to reduce your waste contribution to landfill.
The impact our designs have on the environment is also considered when we take into account the standard size of materials to reduce offcuts and wastage, as well as the intended life span to ensure minimal maintenance will be required.
We consider the end of life for the products we specify and whether they can be easily broken down into recyclable elements.
Our indoor environments are made up of many materials that can contain harmful substances. Harmful substances are commonly found in materials such as flooring, furniture, glues and sealants. This group of harmful substances, or chemicals, are referred to as VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) which are organic chemicals that are airborne at room temperature, such as formaldehyde. They are toxic to your health and can have long-term detrimental health effects. If you are wondering how you could identify VOCs, a strong paint smell generally means that the paint has a high VOC level.
The use of office plants provides increased oxygen levels during the day and helps to remove VOCs from the air within a space.
When we are able to engage early enough with HVAC consultants, we strive to ensure that fresh air is maximised to provide a healthy indoor air quality to the occupants. This will also ensure that toxins present in the space will be expelled.
We consider the well-being of the occupants of the spaces we design, which is one of the most important elements of interior design. We maximise access to daylight and external views, and minimise uncomfortable glare.
We always try to maximise the flexibility of the design so that future changes can be accommodated with minimal demolition.
Chemicals, poor ergonomics and badly planned spaces can all negatively affect your employee's health and wellbeing. VOC's, (Volatile Organic Compounds), a lack of fresh air, and glare can cause a host of respiratory problems, eye-strain, headaches, nausea, infections and even internal organ damage.
It has been proven that employees working in sustainable spaces are more fulfilled and productive. They also tend to feel proud of the company they work for and are willing to go that extra mile.
By installing energy saving appliances and equipment as well as occupancy sensors, electricity costs can be reduced.
We ensure that the quality of your fit out is of corporate grade and suited for longevity. This will reduce your need to repair and replace.
By considering all aspects of the design, we are able to significantly decrease your impact on the environment through waste reduction, ensuring products are responsibly sourced and manufactured, ensuring that energy and water use is kept to a minimum and by considering the end of life of the products we specify.
We are passionate about advancing sustainability in the interior design industry. Good design IS sustainable design; it is not an overlay or afterthought. At Paragon Interiors, we strive to provide you with a sustainable design and healthy work environment, regardless of whether it is specifically requested or not. A healthy interior has been proven to contribute to lower rates of absenteeism, higher staff retention and increased productivity, meaning you will reap the benefits long after we have left the site.
The building sector has the largest potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions1 and we take this seriously. Our designs and specifications are researched and scrutinised to ensure we provide you with the best solution with the lowest environmental impact.

Whether you want to certify your interior or you are merely curious about what a sustainable interior fit out is all about, we have the expertise to assist.

So… 2 months! It feels like both yesterday and years ago that I started as the intern! What a whirlwind it's been! It's been great to work with so many of you to help make CEYC bigger and better than before! Here's a quick round up of what I've been up to over the last 2 months:
One of the first things I did as I got my head around all the files and information we have about CEYC is to make sure we have a timeline of all the topics we've discussed since 2003 so that we can build on our past discussions! Here it is! Thanks to Elliot it looks all shiny and amazing online!
We've also had the opportunity to redefine the roles of our Core Group which looks to be quite exciting! At our residential weekend, we've elected the remaining members needed for a whole team to take CEYC forward for 2017! The newly defined roles include some of our traditional ones too: Chair; Secretary; Worship Coordinator; Communications Coordinator; Ecumenical, Interfaith and Secular Organisations Coordinator (points for a catchier name!); Blog and Events Coordinator; and of course, our three Synod Representatives and Secular organisations representative who work hard to support Core Group and represent CEYC at the British Youth Council and other Secular councils and at General Synod! Head over to our Team Page from February to meet the new team!
One of my favourite parts of the role over the last two months has been the people I get to meet! I've met with various organisations with the hope that CEYC will be able to build links with these and support one another through these connections! Watch this space for possible future opportunities linking with the Three Faiths Forum and with the Methodist Youth President and his team! It's amazing how much of our work overlaps with so many different organisations. I'm looking forward to building links so that CEYC can have a great network of contacts!
Two BIG things have happened since my first blog too! We held our Worship and Witness weekend and our new website member's area launched! These have been super exciting!
We were faced with the challenge of better interacting with our members and those who don't get the chance to be one of our diocesan reps. We really want to reach out to every young person in the Church of England so we can achieve our aims to Represent, Enrich and Engage! Our membership area is hopefully a solution! Now, for the first time, you can sign up to be part of CEYC, to get exclusive content, feed into our polls, ask questions to synod and even blog for us! If you're one of 'those born earlier' you can still engage with CEYC! We want anyone aged 25 or older with a passion for hearing the voice of young people and a desire to be challenged to sign up to our Friend's membership! Here you can ask questions, submit polls and canvass the ideas of our members so that young people can talk into the topics your working with! Head over to our Member's Area to join us!
A couple of weekends ago we had our annual full council meeting. This year the theme was Worship and Witness – becoming more Christ-like. I found it really strange being at a CEYC event and not being a rep or part of Core Group! I've been part of CEYC so long and now I was still able to be there but couldn't speak into the debates or discussions. I really enjoyed listening to the discussions! It was great to hear the passion and energy of the reps and the commitments to strive to be more Christ-like throughout the weekend! Check out Jo's blog post for more about what we got up to!
2 months in 6 paragraphs! Madness! I can't wait to see what the next two months bring! I'm looking forward to working closely with Hannah and the new Core Group to make sure that CEYC has all the background documents in place to let it work smoothly! I can't wait to start getting our teeth into the April event and what the theme might be! Keep an eye on our Future events page for details as the come up! I hope you all keep me on my toes with my biggest challenge – the website! I'm a massive techno-ludite and get so confused when things don't work properly on computers so I hope I can keep the website working and not break it! As always, if you want to get in touch or ask any questions please email me!

UBELONG Snapshot
Name: Lovella Pinero
Age: 27
Hometown: Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Nationality: Philippines
Languages spoken: Tagalog, English (advanced), Arabic (beginner)
Occupation: Staff Nurse at Sheikh Khalifa Medical City
Volunteer Abroad: Caring for Children with Disabilities in Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Duration: 2 weeks
Start month: July 2018
Why did you decide to become a UBELONG volunteer?
I've always wanted to volunteer abroad, but the timing was always off. It was difficult for me to juggle things here and there. At some point in my life, I felt half-empty and a part of me was calling to be of great service to others. Fortunately, a wonderful opportunity, like UBELONG, came along. Without second thoughts, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and become a volunteer.
What was your favorite memory?
There are a lot of great memories I've experienced, but one of my favorites was during my first day at the center. A kid ran onto me, gave me a tight big hug, and seemed so happy to see me. I just couldn't let go of that moment and my heart was full. The genuine smiles and cute giggles of my so-called "babies" are etched in my heart forever.
What were your major challenges?
I'd say the major challenge would be the language barrier. Though I've learned some basic Khmer words and phrases through the volunteer packet I got and during the orientation, it's still a struggle for me. I think things would've been better if I knew the language well. I could've expressed what I wanted to say to the kids and caretakers properly. Nevertheless, everything worked out because we've shared the universal language of love and kindness to one another.
In a sentence or less, how would you describe local life?
Cambodians live a life full of simplicity, contentment, kindness, and smiles.

Lately, the eldest Kardashian has been favoring dramatic, oversize blouses that are truly flattering, and reminiscent of the 70s, and I can't help but be seriously obsessed. So of course I set to work finding a bunch you can buy now so you can get the look too:

Know how people are all, "Give nice guys a chance?"
For the past 15 years, thought I did... but I guess I never really did. The last few months, I've had an opportunity to look back at the guys I've chosen routinely and realized that they've all had some serious issues right from the get go.
The ones I've picked to stay with had issues with intimacy, issues with their moms, issues with their dads, or issues with me. But in all cases, they strummed a chord right on my heart strings - that chord being: "Stay. Help Me. Fix me."
And apparently that chord always works with me.
In truth, it doesn't mean that they weren't nice, but it does mean that they had some red flags.
So each time, when something ended, I found myself inching the door to the possibility of a lasting love a little more closed. I have believed that those dreams - those nice things - weren't for me.
The guys I passed up? They were the nice ones. The guys who treated me the way I should be treated - right from the get go. But the chord that they strummed never seemed melodic to me. I chalked it up to the chemistry not being there and moved on.
Ending the relationship with Joe, was a great time to realize that the problem wasn't with ME. It's with the people I've continually picked. Which, okay, WAS with me. But hopefully you get what I mean.
I took the time to re-calibrate my heart strings. And I realized that the ones that called for help weren't quite as melodic as I had thought. And the ones that offered genuine feelings of happiness and love sounded better than I ever believed.
So this past month, when I had the opportunity to really look love in the eyes, I did.
It started with a wonderful question - something along the lines of "Are you ready, really ready to be in love? Are you ready in your heart and your mind?"
I looked within me, brushed off my newly re-vamped heart strings, and answered, "Yes."
And it was WONDERFUL. The act of falling in love is an amazing feeling. It's fast, it's all consuming, and it feels beautiful. Like my blinders have been ripped off my eyes - and now I could start to see life's full beauty - which includes ME.
I found myself peering through the crack in the door to lasting love. I found myself lured by it's charm. I started to (gasp!) hope. And when my brain tried to tell my heart to slow down, I reminded it that THIS type of story happens to others. Why not me? Why not us? Why not now?
We even said several times that it felt like we were 15 again - to feel like the whole world was ahead of us and that we could figure out anything that came our way.
To me, it felt like the first part of a drop on a roller coaster ride. I was scared, white-knuckling it...until something inside me encouraged me to just let go; to just enjoy it.
And oh, how I enjoyed it. Because that feeling? It's amazing; intoxicating; heart-stoppingly beautiful.
Until it wasn't.
Realistically, I've recounted the weirdness of what happened many times with my friends and they all believe that something is clearly going on with him. And from the stories he told me about some of the girls that he met, they all reacted with similar disbelief when things ended. Judging from the outside looking in, this seems to be his MO.
So, logically, I know it's not me. Or maybe it is. But I know that even if his opinion of me and us changed that quickly, it doesn't have anything to do with me. Yeah, yeah...maybe he got scared...but maybe he was just playing me. Maybe he's just damaged goods with entirely too high of standards. No matter how hard I try, I can't figure out what happened.
Because to me, even if I got weird vibes or mixed messages, I'd want to ride the roller coaster again.
But eesh. It still hurts. Just like the heartbreaks of 15 year olds.
So how is it that I'm more upset about things ending with a man that I haven't known nearly long enough than ones that I've stayed with for entirely too long?
Because my heart strings strummed a song that seemed to be in tune with his (and even I puked in my mouth with how cheesy that sounded). But that tune? It was one of the most amazing things I've felt and heard.
So here I am. Sad, disappointed, and hurt. Maybe this is the rebound relationship effect. Or maybe it's because we really could've made it work.
But I do know this: I need time to repair the damage - to re-tune my heart strings and repair my pride.
So that the next time a nice guy asks if I'm really ready - for love and all the wonders it holds - I'll have the courage to say yes. I'll have the courage to walk through that door, down the aisle, and wherever else that path leads.

Welcome to the rebound...they suck but are necessary unfortunately. Ugh. Sorry about that sweetie. Usually I preferred to just sleep with randoms as my rebounds...less messy... (Ok, did I just say that out loud???) Hope you are smiling... Your needle will not require a search through a massive haystack, I promise. For me, I made a conscious decision to think critically about every single male I came across (ie is he attractive, what about him drives me crazy, would I sleep with him, would I intro him to my parents, would I be ashamed of him at a party). This helped me break my old habits of falling for the same guy...logic helped me see that I was overlooking LOTS of viable candidates because they weren't my type...I realized what characteristics were REALLY non-negotiables, and I realized that 'nice' is my type, cause who likes a douchebag for 20 years???

Washington back in Texas with Athletics
Former Rangers skipper hopes to have opportunity to manage again
ARLINGTON -- On Tuesday, Ron Washington returned to the ballpark where he was a highly successful big league manager for eight years.
• Cast your Esurance All-Star ballot for #ASGWorthy players
Once the manager of the Rangers, Washington returned as a special infield instructor for the Athletics. He is still hoping one day to return as somebody's manager.
"I do want to manage again," Washington said before Tuesday night's series opener at Globe Life Park. "I can help a team. I can direct a team."
Washington proved that in Arlington. He was the Rangers' manager from 2007-14, with a record of 664-611, a .521 winning percentage and two American League pennants. Washington resigned with 22 games to go in the 2014 season because of personal reasons. Otherwise, he would still be Texas' manager.
"Yes, I regretted the way I had to leave here," Washington said. "I regret my wife had to suffer through what she went through. I regret the people I loved suffered with what they went through. I have been dealing with it for 7 1/2 months. People don't know how much pain I was in. But I did what I had to do to save my marriage.
"Right now, I am in a good place."
The offseason came and went without Washington getting a job offer. So did Spring Training. He didn't get back into baseball until May 22, when the A's hired him to help their infield defense.
"Despair? That's a pretty rough word," Washington said. "I have been in touch with a lot of people and contacted with a lot of people in baseball. I wasn't forgotten. I just had to wait until something came up. Did I miss it? I have been in the game 46 years and never been out of Spring Training. Of course."
The adjustment to working with the Athletics' young infielders has not been hard. Washington has always taken great pride in his ability to teach, and he loves doing it. He was on the field with the temperature in the 90s working with shortstop Marcus Semien five hours before Tuesday's game.
"I adjusted from the first day," Washington said. "I arrived with the single job of helping the infield. It has been a lot of fun, six young kids eager to learn. It has been fun getting back on the field and teaching.
"It's what I do. It's where I'm an expert at. Everybody in this game has expertise. My expertise is in infield play. My expertise is in baserunning and people skills. I've got the equipment for it. I've got the tools for it. Making sure they keep thinking right, making sure they keep believing right and making sure they're working right. That's my work day to day."
But Washington made it clear. He would rather be managing and still hopes it happens again one day.
"I don't know," Washington said. "It would be up to some general manager and owner. I think my credentials are out there. We'll see what happens."

Island of Death
Greece (1976) | 101 minutes
Director: Nico Mastorakis
Cast: Jane Lyle, Jessica Dublin, Robert Behling
Arriving on the idyllic Greek island, Christopher and Celia appear to be the perfect young couple. Little do the welcoming locals realize that they are in fact murderous degenerates. DIY crucifixions, opportunistic bestiality, sexual peeing and murder by all conceivable forms ensue! Shocking, brutal and politically incorrect, Island of Death is a grueling experience devised to out-do the excesses of its genre brethren. Now uncut and newly-restored from the original negative, fans can enjoy it in all its sleazy, lurid glory.

How your podiatrists in Sterling Heights, Mount Clemens, and Clinton Township can help
If you suffer from chronic ankle instability, no doubt you've experienced the sudden loss of control over movement in your ankle. Loss of ankle support can be frightening because it can happen at any moment, when you trying to walk, or even when you are just standing still. Fortunately, there are some effective treatments for ankle instability. Your podiatrists Dr. Thomas Hosey, Dr. Ryan Murphy, and Dr. Kristen Patterson at Hosey Foot & Ankle Centers can help. They have convenient office locations in Sterling Heights, Clinton Township, and Mount Clemens, MI to help you.
Chronic ankle instability is usually caused by a sprained ankle that hasn't healed properly. Ligaments and tendons are stretched or damaged from the sprain, and if you don't let the sprain heal completely, you may experience more ankle sprains. Each time you sprain your ankle, you run the risk of developing a chronically unstable ankle.
Some of the signs and symptoms of chronic ankle instability include:
- A frequent feeling of your ankle "giving way"
- Your ankle giving way when you are on uneven surfaces
- Your ankle giving way when you are active or play sports
- Frequent discomfort, tenderness or pain in your ankle
- Frequent swelling or instability in your ankle
To treat your chronic ankle instability, your podiatrists at Hosey Foot & Ankle Centers may suggest non-invasive treatments like these:
- Physical therapy exercises to improve ankle strength, balance, and range of motion
- Wearing an ankle brace to keep your ankle stable and prevent movement
- Anti-inflammatory and pain medications to reduce swelling and relieve pain
In severe cases of ankle instability that don't respond to non-invasive treatments, your podiatrists may suggest surgery to repair your ankle. During surgery, damaged ligaments and tendons will be repaired, providing you with a fully-functioning, fully-supportive ankle.
If you are missing out on the activities and sports you love because of chronic ankle instability, it's time to take action and get back to your life. It's time to call your podiatrists at Hosey Foot & Ankle Centers, with offices in Sterling Heights, Clinton Township, and Mount Clemens, MI. Get back on your feet by calling today!
