Managerial Communication
This content was COPIED from BrainMass.com - View the original, and get the already-completed solution here!
I am looking for some assistance with the following:
In July 2008, a Florida laundry services company agreed to pay $80,000 and furnish other remedial relief to settle an EEOC discrimination lawsuit. The EEOC had charged that a Black Haitian laundry worker at Sodexho Laundry Services, Inc. lost her job because of her race, national origin and pregnancy. The employee had developed complications early in her pregnancy, obtained a light duty assignment, but was not permitted to continue her light duty assignment after her doctor imposed lifting restrictions even though Hispanic managers routinely assigned pregnant Hispanic women to light duty work at the same time she was being denied the same opportunity. EEOC v. Sodexho Laundry Services, Inc. (S.D. Fla. settled July 2008).
Address the role of the manager as a communicator in a rapidly diversifying work environment. Analyze the specific diversity issues involved in the EEOC case. Outline managerial communication strategies to address prejudgment, discrimination, and stereotyping
Convey the managerial responsibilities to the new recruits regarding organizational values. Focusing on communication issues, supply suggestions for how, as managers, they may establish an interculturally sensitive organizational climate
If I can get a few hundred words to start with, I can find my lead and expand into the completion of this assignment.

Solution Preview
A manager's role in communication is to understand the cultural differences of employees within the organization and to ensure employees also understand cultural differences. Cultures tend to clash as a result of the lack of sensitivity to various cultures, especially in terms of an individuals belief system or individual expression. I've worked in organizations who embraced diversity and a few who didn't. At one organization we celebrated the major holidays and decorated the office to embrace various cultures. One organization on the other hand failed to embrace cultural differences. For instance, I worked at a physician's office several years ago. During my first day I became acquainted with office staff including the physician. As the employees became comfortable getting to know me, a few of them began blaspheming the name of the Lord. I expressed my issues in a polite way, not condemning them for their language but making them aware that I was uncomfortable with that term and found it offensive. The physician muttered to the other staff members "No one's going to tell me how to talk; I use that term all the time and will continue to use it!" she exclaimed. The next day I was fired. Keep in mind I didn't tell her how to speak I merely shared my beliefs and she became offended. Diversity does not only pertain to ethnicity, it also pertains to religion, sexual orientation, etc. The physician took on the role as office manager as well; therefore, she should have been the one to embrace cultural ...
Solution Summary
The expert examines managerial communication for organizational climates. The responsibilities to the new recruits regarding organizational values are determined.

GREENWICH, Conn. -- The CBS News show "48 Hours" will examine new evidence in the case of George Smith IV of Greenwich, who vanished on his honeymoon cruise more than seven years ago.
CBS News senior correspondent John Miller reports for "48 Hours: Murder at Sea?" The show will air at 10 p.m. Saturday, May 11 on CBS.
The promo teases "important new evidence -- a videotape in the hands of the FBI made by some of the last men to see George alive."
Miller says, "You've got these men joking about George's death, very callous and at one point incriminating."
Smith disappeared on July 5, 2005, at the age of 26 while on his honeymoon cruise with his wife, Jennifer Hagel-Smith, aboard a Royal Caribbean ship. His body has never been found.

Machu Picchu definitely lives up to the hype, don't get me wrong, but there are so many other incredible Inca ruins in the Sacred Valley worth seeing as well. This post will cover a day spent seeing Pisac and Ollantaytambo. Consider this post "Part 1" of Inca Ruins worth seeing, and "Part 2" is here (didn't want to do an Incan Ruins overload)!
But first, let me explain what exactly The Sacred Valley is. It's a region in Peru near the city of Cusco and the ancient city of Machu Picchu, it formed the heart of the Inca Empire. Macchu Picchu is obviously the most famous site to see in The Sacred Valley (for good reason), but let's not forget about the rest of the Incan Empire!
Pisac Ruins
The ruins in Pisac overlook the Urubamba River and are most known for their farming terraces. The site is also very well intact, especially religious buildings (pictured above).
To actually see all that this site has to offer, you need to set aside at least 4 or 5 hours to explore it. We, unfortunately, did not have that much time to do so. We spent all of an hour maybe an hour and a half. I'm glad we were able to see it, but if it's possible, allow more time in your schedule to enjoy Pisac!
Feel free to click on the photos below to make them full-sized and to read the captions.
The town of Pisac, located beneath the ruins, also hosts a popular local crafts market. (Again, we didn't have enough to explore it. This is just a quick peek at the beginning of it.)
Ollantaytambo is an especially important piece of history because it is one of the few places the Spanish conquistadors lost a major battle to the Incas. The Incas had used their irrigation system to flood the valley floor, which held back the Spaniards on horseback.
I was really impressed with Ollantaytambo. The ruins were magnificent, in my opinion (although climbing all those stairs was a real killer). And the town itself is a quaint colonial town that had an abundance of cute restaurants and cafes. One of my biggest regrets of this trip I think, was not scheduling more time here. I would've liked to have spent more time exploring the city itself.
Ollantaytambo is also an important stop because this is where the train to Machu Picchu starts. We had an early afternoon train to catch, which meant very limited time exploring. This did, however, mean we were able to see the views during the train ride, as it was not yet dark.
And check out this rock formation on the side of a mountain in Ollantaytambo! This is said to be natural, and you can totally see an old man's face and it looks like he has a beard too. I thought that was wild!
Feel free to click on the photos below to make them full-sized and to read the captions.
Brief stop in Urubamba – Check out the Skylodge!
All the cool ruins to see in this area will be saved for its own post. However, we had briefly stopped in this city for lunch before heading to Ollantaytambo, and just as we were leaving we saw the craziest hotel!
You actually have to climb up to your hotel room, which are those little glass pods! I guess no climbing experience is required either. And once you're ready to leave, you zipline down!
How crazy is that? I just might have to go back to Peru! Haha. Click here to see more pics on Tripadvisor of this hotel, and click here to book it.
I'm curious had you heard of any of these ruins (other than Machu Picchu) before this post? And would you stay in that crazy hotel? Let me know in the comments!
*This group tour, here, would be a good option to see all of these sights.
*Click here to read my post, "How to Spend 10 Days in Peru."
*Again, we booked our Peru trip through Salkantay Cusco Trek, and they were awesome!

Prince fans and those interested in estate planning law have been paying close attention to the difficulties experienced by the heirs of the late pop musician. There have been numerous battles between people who claim to have the right to inherit part of Prince's estate and also between various business people who claim to have a right to part of Prince's estate. The fact that Prince died without finalizing a will or estate plan has made the navigation of his estate and the probate process exceedingly complicated.
In the most recent drama to surface around the late musician's wealth, a producer has been fighting to release previously unreleased music made by the musician. However, Prince's heirs have prevailed in their attempts to prevent the publication of this music. Although fans might want this music to be released as soon as possible, the win will likely benefit the heirs in the long run -- as it will preserve their ability to earn income from these extremely valuable assets.
The heirs have since removed the musician's back catalog of music from sale on the internet. Fans may selfishly want to download their favorite songs, but it's likely that Prince himself would have wanted it this way so that his family members left behind can benefit financially from his musical legacy. In fact, Prince once said, "I don't see why I should give my music to iTunes or anybody else. They won't pay me in advance for it and then they get angry when they can't get it."
When someone dies without an estate plan, it can be difficult for the people closest to the deceased to ensure that the estate is distributed and finalized in accordance with their loved one's wishes. For this reason, Tennessee residents may want to make the finalization of their estate plans their very first order of business for the coming year.

Ardeer, North Ayrshire
Ardeer was a small town now officially incorporated into Stevenston on the Ardeer peninsula, in the parish of Stevenston, North Ayrshire,[3] originally an island and later its extensive sand dune system became the site of Nobel Explosives, a dominant global supplier of explosives to the mining and quarrying industries and a major player in the design and development of products for the chemical and defence industries during the 20th century.

Ardeer Island[edit]
Ardeer was once an island with a sea channel running along to exit in the vicinity of Auchenharvie Academy. Blaeu's map of 1654, based on Timothy Ponts map of circa 1600 clearly shows a small island with the settlements of Ardeer, Dubbs, Bogend, Longford, Snodgrass, Lugton Mill and Bartonholm all being on or near the coastline. The island was small and extended no further than Bartonholm, nowhere near the size of the present-day Ardeer peninsula. The Lugton Water opened into the bay at that time and not into the Garnock.[4] Robert Gordon's map of 1636-52 highlights the coastline as being much further inland than at present and the island of Ardeer is not shown, cross-hatching or crossing out being shown.[5] Roy. It was at around this time that the old harbour at Seagatefoot was finally abandoned a new harbour built at Fullarton in 1665[6] and the extreme sand movements recorded in relation to the old harbour may have also choked the sea channel that had made Ardeer an island.
A map of 1872 shows a sizeable island at the tip of the Ardeer peninsula that included the site of the present day Big Idea complex. This island is not recorded on the later Ordnance Survey maps and was therefore of a transient nature due to the shifting sands, storm derived blow outs, etc. typical of large sand dune and estuary systems.[7]
As late as 1902 it was recorded that "Within recent years a number of little lochs, or dubbs, existed between Kilwinning and Stevenston, the memory of which, at least, has been preserved in the name of Dubbs Farm."[8] Ardeer House, Castlehill, Bartonholm, and Bogside were on the coast.[8] The geology of the area shows river deposits along the course of the old river bed.[9]
The Ardeer peninsula[edit]
By the late 17th century the island had become a peninsula, for John Adair's map of 1685 does not show an island and the River Garnock follows its current course.[10] Armstrong's map of 1747–55 also does not show an island and the area is marked as being only sand dunes, the first habitation being at Knowes and Bog. A road, the Knowes Road, followed the route of the old water course, running from Stevenston to Kilwinning.[11]
Thomson's map of 1832 shows Inch Road running directly to Misk, a small group of buildings on the peninsula itself.[12] 'Misk' in Scots means an area of wet low-lying land.[13] The place name 'Inch Road' may recall Ardeer's history as a small island, also inch could refer to small islands in salt marshes, covered by spring-tides, but used as grazing for cattle.[13]
The one time owner of the Ardeer estate, Patrick Warner, had picked up skills in land reclamation during his exile in Holland and in the late 17th century his first act was to drain the line of bogs or dubs by cutting the Master Gott or ditch,[14] and this drainage system was later partly incorporated into the Stevenston Canal that ran up to Dubbs.[15][16]
The Peninsula houses the remains of The Big Idea, a museum which operated from 2000 to 2003 celebrating Scottish Inventions and inventors. It has remained abandoned since its closure in summer 2003.
A legend tells of Saint Winning sending his monks to fish in the River Garnock, however no matter how hard they tried or how long they persevered they could catch nothing. Saint Winning in response to the river's perversity placed a curse on the river, preventing it from ever having fish in its waters; the river responded by changing course and thereby avoiding the curse. It is clear that the river has substantially changed its course in recorded history, previously having entered the sea at Stevenston.[17]
Robin Campbell tells a story of the murder of the Earl of Eglinton's wife on Ardeer by Nigellus, the Abbott of Kilwinning Abbey in the 16th century. Pilgrims came to Kilwinning Abbey partly because of the miracles that were performed there and the Earl of Eglinton, a follower of John Knox, strongly voiced his disbelief and also stated that he would stop paying tithes to the monks. In revenge the abbott arranged for the Countess of Eglinton to be waylaid on her customary journey to Ardrossan by way of Ardeer. The monks took her to a ruined bothy, below which was a stone lined cellar; she was imprisoned here and starved to death. The earl was never able to find her, although her drowned servant was discovered on the beach and tales of the screams of a woman's voice hidden in the crashing of the waves at Ardeer and of a distressed woman who vanished when approached began to spread. After the earl had died the last monk of Kilwinning Abbey is said to have confessed to his part in this awful crime and thereby revealed the truth behind the unexplained disappearance of the Countess of Eglinton.[18]
- Pre-history
A number of artifacts have been recovered from the Ardeer peninsula, including 54 flint arrowheads; 167 scrapers; 24 knives; a Late Bronze Age socketed gouge; part of a Bronze Age bead; a flat bead of dark blue glass; shale rings, armlets etc.; 2 Romano-British Brooches; a bronze pin and the head of a second; an early 10th-century, 'Whitby' type Anglo-Saxon bronze strap end; a probably 14th-century bronze ring brooch.[19]
In 1906, drifting of sand revealed a small oval cairn about 15 by 10 feet (4.6 by 3.0 m) in size and 3 feet (0.91 m) high in the centre, composed of about eighty water-rolled boulders. This covered at least sixteen cinerary urns, mainly bucket-shaped. The site was destroyed by building works at the Nobel site.[20]
A crannog site is located between Todhills Farm and the site of Bogend Farm.[21] An area known as 'Snap Green', flooded at high spring tides, is shown near the tip of the peninsula in 1856. Extensive areas of saltings are shown to have existed at Misk in the 19th century.
The movement of the sands onto the island of Ardeer must have been relatively rapid as records show that quarrying and mining at Misk Colliery exposed rich alluvial soil at Ardeer with clear signs of ploughing and artifacts such as earthenware and even a tobacco pipe that dates the ploughing to no earlier than the mid-16th century when tobacco was first introduced.[22]
- The Castle Hill
Timothy Pont refers to the sand dunes as Knoppes and he states that at one time a substantial castle was located here upon a large dune or mole of earth, still known in his time as Castle Hill. It is debated whether or not he was actually referring to the well known Castle Hill that lies inland.[23]
Robin Campbell tells a tale of the House of Ardeer that was situated on the Ardeer sands and was built by the 'Picts', carrying the stones across from the 'mainland.' The buildings are said to have been destroyed by a huge storm, brought down upon the sands by the wife of the farmer at Misk when he was drowned in the nearby bog. By the 18th century only the remains of a dovecot and a few windblown trees are said to have survived.[18]
Ardeer House[edit]
This property, previously Dovecothall, was located at Stevenston, close to the site of the old Piperheugh hamlet. One of the most distinguished owners was the covenanter Patrick Warner, a minister who was forced to escape to Holland after the Battle of Bothwell Bridge.[24][25] It once stood on the coast and is said to have been a favourite anchorage ground, anchors having been found at various points inland. A sea-washed cave is located a little behind the house.[8]
The Stevenston Ironworks[edit]
In 1849 the Glengarnock Iron Company built five blast furnaces on the foreshore of the Ardeer sands to smelt pig-iron. The iron ore was imported through Ardrossan harbour and to reduce costs Merry and Cunningham Ltd., successors to the Glengarnock company, started to build a quay by dumping slag into the sea. After 300 yards of these works had been completed it became obvious that no ship could safely dock here given the force of winter storms. The quay was abandoned and to this day it is known as the 'old pier' or 'slag point'. The works closed in 1931 and were demolished in 1935.[26]
Coal Pits[edit]
The West Field coal pits largely lay within the present-day Ardeer Park. In circa 1800 the pits were named Raise, Dip, First East, Crank, Stair, Second East, Old Engine, Bowbridge, and Bridge Shank. These were served by the Stevenston Canal, many with their own dedicated branches.[27]
Nobel Explosives plant[edit]
The Ardeer peninsula was the site of a massive dynamite manufacturing plant built by Alfred Bernhard Nobel. Having scoured the country for a remote location to establish his explosive factory, Nobel finally acquired 100 acres (40 ha) from the Earl of Eglinton, and established the British Dynamite Factory in 1871, and went on to create what was described then as the largest explosives factory in the world.[28] The factory had its own jetty on the River Garnock in Irvine Harbour serving ships disposing of time expired explosives or importing materials for the works.
At its peak, the site employed almost 13,000 workers in a fairly remote location and had its own railway station.[29] The station was used solely for workers and those special visitors with business in the ICI plant, and was never a regular passenger stop. Until the mid-1960s, there were two trains per day to transport workers. Although the line no longer exists, the abandoned platform remains, hidden beneath dense undergrowth.
Its first Manager was George McRoberts FRSE and other notable staff included Edwin Mervyn Patterson who was Manager from 1954 to 1982.[30]
The Stevenston Canal of 1772 was the first commercial canal in Scotland. The canal was just over two miles long, had no locks, was twelve feet wide and had a depth of four feet, with much of its cut following the old course of the River Garnock, a relic of the days when Ardeer was an island. The Master Gott or drain is thought to be the last remaining vestige. Coal was carried on barges and the waste was dumped along the route to act as a wind break, blown sand being a recurring problem.[31] The water supply came from a dam on the Stevenston Burn. The Ardeer Quarry that produced Stevenston Stone exported to Ireland from Saltcoats Harbour almost certainly used the canal for transporting its stone output.
A 1798 plan of the Stevenston Coaliery shows a Misk Canal of around a mile long running west and then north into the Misk Coalfield from the River Garnock.[16]
In 1840 a station opened at Ardeer, named Stevenston, on the line travelling from Ardrossan to Glasgow. A railway station, Ardeer Platform, was also built, just south of the town, serving the large numbers of Nobel factory workers; it closed in 1966. By 1836 a horse-drawn wagon way had been built from Saltcoats down to the Bowbridge Pit and others in the area that is now the Ardeer Park.[32]
Ardeer Golf Club[edit]
The ICI land used to be home to Ardeer golf club. The original course was 9 holes in the Sandyhills area of Stevenston. Although the course has since long gone the original red sandstone clubhouse remains.
The club then relocated to the Ardeer area of Stevenston, with the new course opening on 8 April 1905. This course was a true seaside links laid out in the stretch of dunes between the town and the sea on land owned by the Imperial Chemical Industries Ltd (ICI). ICI was where the club drew most of its membership, including Hamilton McInally, the Scottish Amateur champion of 1937, 1939 & 1947. Jackie Cannon was a member prior to winning the Scottish amateur championship in 1969 at the age of 52, the oldest winner ever.
During the Second World War three of the holes were taken over by ICI for war duty and became a barrage balloon station. The three holes were restored after the war ensuring that the course was as good a test as it ever was.
This was not to be the resting place of the Ardeer course because in the early sixties the membership were dealt a major blow when officials of the club were called to the headquarters of the Nobel Division of ICI. The clubhouse and the land which contained the golf course were required for the construction of a new factory for the manufacture of salts for use in the nylon industry. The club had no option on the matter as ICI owned the land.
After several general meetings, it was decided that Lochend was where Ardeer Golf Course was to be reborn. Continual improvements have been ongoing in the last 38 years to take the course to what it is today by the strenuous efforts of both the members and green staff. Drainage has been improved over the years ensuring all year-round golf. There is a combination of mature and young trees of all varieties lining the fairways and full use has been made of the two burns which meander through the course. Ongoing improvements to teeing areas, greens and course in general means that the history is still in the making.[33]
Other sports[edit]
The 1895 25 inch OS map shows a rifle range on the peninsula with targets set at 100-yard intervals and a magazine. In 1908 a cricket ground and pavilion are shown in the old golf course area.[34]
Ardeer Primary School was opened in August 1982. The school is located in the Ardeer Area of Stevenston in Clark Crescent and serves ages 5 to 11 in a primary school and a nursery class. The Old Ardeer Primary School sat on Garven Road, before closing in late 1981.
Parish church[edit]
In the heart of Ardeer is the Shore Road Ardeer Parish which was officially opened on Friday, 14 June 1895, the dedicatory service being conducted by the Rev. Alexander Robertson McEwan. Rev Andrew Morris Moodie's first sermon in the new church was to the children, significantly enough, on the afternoon of Sunday, 16 June 1895. It is early 20th-century red sandstone Gothic building in the perpendicular style, designed by John Bennie Wilson. Perpendicular Gothic, it has an octagonal two-stage tower, with corbelled shafts at the angles to the upper stage flanking bipartite belfrey louvred lights; the parapet has battlements and truncated pinnacles are located at the angles.[35]
Ardeer church currently has 2 ministers; Rev John Lafferty and Rev David Hebenton who are shared between Ardeer and their linked church, Livingstone Parish Church, just a short distance away. [36]
Nudist beach[edit]
Ardeer is also home to the only official naturist beach (located at 55°36′52″N 4°42′54″W / 55.614508°N 4.714867°W) on the south west Scottish mainland.[37]

Da Marco Italian Restaurant – Highly Recommend
Da Marco
1520 Westheimer Rd
Houston, TX
(713) 807-8857
It's easy to miss Da Marco: the small converted house is set off the street right at the most harrowing narrow-laned portion of the Westheimer curve; the sign is well-lit but competes for eye attention with the nearby tattoo and body piercing joints. Those eclectic surroundings, sprinkled with top-notch food choices is, of course, a major part of the appeal to this section of Houston. This gracious Italian eatery fits right in.
Last night was our first trip to Da Marco; we wanted an upscale (but not outrageous) dinner treat before heading over to the SkyBar. The entrance to the restaurant leads you into a tiny 3′ curtained area, and from there the hostess escorts you another three feet to the small bar. Jacketed waiters efficiently weave through the small non-smoking dining room — the feeling is intimate but not overly cramped. The place was very well candle-lit, although a bit too warm in the bar area because of the open wood-burning bread oven just behind the well-roasted bartender. The families and couples dining there on this visit (a Friday night) were a comfortably mixed bunch: everything from middle aged couples in jeans and tennies, to younger couples in suits and evening dresses, to at least two very authentic-looking garrulous Italian families.
Our white-linened table was nicely placed near a back wall and our waiter was affable and knowledgeable. The wine list was all Italian, with only a few selections available by the glass. The menu was structured in a traditional three-course format: antipasti, pasta, and entrée. The off-menu selections were presented via a chalkboard and included an oxtail pasta selection as well as main courses of rabbit and in-house aged angus beef. Our meal for two included:
Frisée with pears, candied walnuts, and some type of wonderfully soft ripe cheese
Giant sea scallops with orange segments (two bites into which Scott proclaims, "this might be my new favorite restaurant")
An unbelievably good sweet corn ravioli with huge bits of fresh lobster meat
Mouth-watering porcini risotto with fresh hunks of ripe parmesan
Very tender pork tenderloin with figs in a sweet balsamic reduction, accompanied by a very tasty cheese polenta
Fabulously tender duck in a sweet glaze, accompanied by mashed sweet potatoes and wonderfully grilled brussel sprouts
Total meal cost: $140 before gratuity
Alas, we skipped any dessert / coffee course, as we were full and ready to move onto the remainder of our evening's entertainment. But Da Marco's definitely delivered what we were looking for. The food was unbelievably good, the waitstaff attentive (the steady stream of fresh bread and ripe olive oil was quite evil), and the ambiance and people-watching were perfect: not too clattery, nicely candle-lit, and a fun mix of patrons. And, as a big bonus for us, it was all smoke-free. There was a separate dining room completely enclosed by French doors — it could be that's a smoking dining room; I meant to ask but was too busy eating and enjoying myself. Regardless, the bar and main dining room were wonderfully free of even a trace of smoke, and it made the entire experience enjoyable and relaxing.
Da Marco definitely delivers for its cost. If you're looking for excellent food, an Italian wine list, and an intimate and attentive dining experience, then this is one of the best choices in this part of Houston.

[Video Goals] Man Utd 1-1 Swansea: Sigurdsson Stunner Holds United
Gylfi Sigurdsson scored a superb late free-kick to earn Swansea City a 1-1 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford this afternoon.
A depleted United side struggled to get going and clear cut chances were at a premium with the visitors perhaps creating the best opportunities early on.
However, United were gifted the perfect chance to open the scoring when Lukaz Fabianski was adjuged to have fouled Marcus Rashford in the area – although replays showed the striker had gone down very easily.
United weren't arguing though and Wayne Rooney stepped up to slot home the controversial spot kick to give Jose Mourinho's men a 1-0 lead on the stroke of half time.
However, Swansea found the equaliser with just over 10 mintues remaining as Sigurdsson curled home a superb free-kick from 25 yards in the 79th minute.
United couldn't find a late winner so they had to settled for their 10th home draw of the season which is a huge dent to their hopes of finishing in the top four.
Watch the goals here:

Round Lake Beach is a lively area, with a large downtown center and large plots of homes. The area is a suburb of Chicago and is located surrounded by lakes, offering lots of watersport activities to residents. There are also plenty of parks along the shore of each lake and throughout the city, most of them dog-friendly with room to run, play, and enjoy a gorgeous day outside in the city.
To the west of the city is the lake known as Long Lake, with gorgeous beaches surrounded by residential homes. On the southern shore is Long Lake Park, an area with rolling hills and grassy fields. There are forested trails that lead to open space next to the lake, with a picnic area featuring views of the lake and space to run and play in. Water fountains and benches can be found throughout the park and can be enjoyed by you and your leashed pups.
For a change, Orchard Park is not around any lakes, but still offers smaller bodies of water like ponds and a stream that cuts through the park for fishing. Around the ponds are open spaces too, with places to sit, play, and enjoy a nice picnic next to the river. There's a pool, a trampoline, a scenic fountain, and paved walkway for residents. Pups can walk along the sidewalk and enjoy additional amenities like clean-up bags, water fountains, benches, and trash bins.
Despite the nearest vet being .5 miles away in Round Lake, Round Lake Beach offers even more dog-friendly parks like Greenview Park, Whitewood Park, and Fairview Park.

If however you search on the internet and play against further avid gamers, getting a top notch gaming mouse for professional will give you an advantage. In addition I ran across that when I converted to a decent pc gaming mouse the more control of the game meant in the victorian era far more enjoyable to my opinion. Speed and accuracy. These are the necessary capabilities which differ substantially between an average plus gaming mouse.

"The biggest and best to date" – just some of the positive feedback from FORS members on the third FORS Members' Conference. Under the title '10 years of evolving best practice', the event also coincided with the 10th anniversary of FORS.
Staged once again at the National Conference Centre, the FORS Members' Conference attracted over 450 delegates who gathered for a full day of presentations, networking and debate, with a retrospective of how the scheme has evolved over the last decade.
The annual conference demonstrated clearly to all how FORS remains at the forefront of industry best practice. The event also provided FORS with a platform to introduce the revised FORS Standard – version 5 – launched at the conference and which will be implemented from 14 January 2019.
Speakers on the day included Alina Tuerk, Transport for London, who discussed the Direct Vision Standard – a pressing concern to many FORS members – alongside a thought-provoking presentation from Andrew Drewary, CILT (The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport), on driver health and safety. He addressed the awkward questions operators must ask to ensure their drivers are fit to drive, while promoting a positive work culture. Other key industry experts included Emma Jennings from the CILT and representatives from CLOCS (Construction Logistics and Community Safety), the Environment Agency and Tarmac, plus an insight into government from Robert Flello, Founder of the Parliamentary Freight Transport Group.
FORS representatives also talked through the FORS Standard version 5 and its updated requirements. Delegates took the opportunity to talk to FORS and LoCITY representatives at a number of FORS 'surgeries' held throughout the day to enable delegates to ask questions specific to their operation. A dedicated exhibition hall hosted by 35 FORS Associates and three Affinity Partners allowed delegates to see products and services designed to help them meet the requirements of the FORS Standard, with co-headline sponsors, FORS Associates VisionTrack and Camatics, taking centre stage.
The FORS Special Achievement award was presented to Garry Lewis, Transport Standards Manager at Tarmac, recognising his work in improving driving standards within Tarmac's supply chain. Garry commented, "Road safety is such an important issue, not only for us in the industry but for all road users. My work with FORS since its inception has always been motivated by improving safety for everyone who uses our roads, so I am thrilled to receive this award from FORS."
John Hix, FORS Director said, "As the new FORS Standard comes into effect on 14 January 2019, the FORS Members' Conference served as an ideal introduction to the changes it brings, especially in relation to the inclusion of a wider range of vehicles. FORS members came in their droves from across the UK to attend the conference and we are incredibly grateful for their support."

Whoo hoo I did it! For the first time since high school I successfully completed 7 miles! My roomate decided to join the XSport by our house on Wednesday night so I went with her and they gave me a free one week guest pass. So today we went over there around noon, the goal was to try and do 7 and it was a success. I was really worried about how it would feel because my "easy" three on Thursday night almost killed me (I think I was still recovering from the flu) but this run felt great, I ran most of it at 6.6 (9:05 mi) and then increased it up to 7.3 for the last mile.
The stupid treadmill kept going into cool down mode after one hour so that's why the time is from my watch. 7.03 in 1:04:15.
Weekly Workouts panned out as:
- Monday: 4.5 miles (3 tempo)
- Tuesday: Sick
- Wednesday: Sick
- Thursday: 3 miles easy at 28:00
- Friday: 10 min elliptical 40 min run walking intervals (~2 miles running)
- Saturday: 7 miles 1:04.15
Weekly milage total: 16.5, goal was 19 but for having the flu I'll take it!
Besides working out/running last night I went to happy hour with my "coworkers." Since I run a very small fitness center I am the only one who works there but there are a bunch of other centers that our company manages right near me and the other girl that run those centers are so fun! Afterwards I met up with my bf Sean and we went to a restuarant called Hot Chocolate. It was a little too trendy for us but quite yummy. Afterwards we saw "No Strings Attached" with Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher, SO FUNNY. We both loved it, it was seriously awesome.
Plans for tonight include going out around Wrigleyville, always a good time. Then tomorrow its BEARS TIME! I really hope they win even though I hate Jay Cutler. Any non-Chicago Bears supporters out there?
Happy Saturday 🙂

The number was more than double that of the next contender for the record, Justice Choo Han Teck.

The guidelines for the best cleaning services involve the following. One of the key things to look is the professionalism that should be incorporated on the maid service companies. All this entails how the company receives the requests as well as how they treat here customers whenever they call them. For a maid service company to have the more clients, they will want to gain their trust, and that can be only through the courtesy they offer their clients.
When choosing the best janitorial services, it is important for an individual to look for the flexibility of the company which will come in handy when the individual will want to get some services faster and the company will want to get the request since they will want to satisfy their customer's needs. Some of the cleaning companies will offer quality services as well as offering the homeowner a good deal that will see them pay less for the services they have received. With the type of packages that the janitorial company offer their clients with, it will be easy for them to get more business as the clients will feel satisfied with the kind of services they are getting an affordable price. Having some reasonable price for the quality work done by the janitorial service company will allow an individual to put aside the required amount to give to the company for quality services. An individual will want to feel the value of his money buy getting some quality services and thus, it is important for that person to look for a company that offers quality services at affordable prices. Having some modern agents that are used to by the janitorial company, will boost the trust that an individual has for the company which is one of the consideration to make so that the surfaces and the person in the place are safe.

Investing has the potential to be a lucrative financial endeavor, although there's a fine line between success and failure. But as with most U.S. tax law, where money's being made, you can surely find Uncle Sam nearby. Accordingly, the net investment income tax (NIIT) will take a 3.8% bite out of a portion of your investment earnings. There are, however, a number of restrictions on what the NIIT does and doesn't apply to. Take a look through our detailed guide below for more insight.All About the Net Investment Income Tax
The net investment income tax, or NIIT, is an IRS tax related to the net investment income of certain individuals, estates and trusts. More specifically, this applies to the lesser of your net investment income or the amount by which your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) surpasses the filing status-based thresholds the IRS imposes. The NIIT is set at 3.8%, and that rate is relevant for both the 2018 and 2019 tax seasons.
To give some background, the net investment income tax is part of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. While the NIIT might seem out of place here, it was actually created to help fund the aforementioned healthcare reforms. Ultimately, the law went into effect in 2013, giving birth to the NIIT on Jan. 1 of that year. Since then, millions of Americans have paid the tax.Who's Subject to the Net Investment Income Tax?
Individuals are frequent net investment income taxpayers, mostly because they represent a large portion of the investment market. Only U.S. citizens and resident aliens with net investment income that exceeds the MAGI thresholds in the table below need to pay the NIIT, though. On the other hand, non-resident aliens are not subject to this tax. The only exception is if they elect to be treated as a resident so they can file jointly with their U.S. citizen or resident spouse. Check out the exact thresholds here:Net Investment Income Tax (NIIT) Thresholds Your Filing Status Threshold Amount Single $200,000 Married Filing Jointly $250,000 Married Filing Separately $125,000 Head of Household (With Qualifying Person) $200,000 Qualifying Widow(er) With Dependent Child $250,000
Estates and trusts may also need to pay the NIIT. This pertains to estates and trusts that have both undistributed net investment income and adjusted gross income past the dollar amount at which the highest estate/trust tax bracket begins for the current tax year. The IRS stipulates that there are a few types of trusts not subject to the NIIT, including:
The entire investment market is based on the purchase and sale of investments, such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate and more. In order to turn a profit, investors aim to buy investments at a lower price than they'll eventually sell them for. But there are many different kinds of investments, and not all of them are included as net investment income. Scroll down to see what is and isn't subject to the NIIT:Net Investment Income (NII) Inclusions and Exclusions Included as NII Interest
Your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) is perhaps the most important dollar amount when determining if you owe the net investment income tax. You can compute your MAGI by taking your adjusted gross income (AGI) and adding back in a few deductions, like IRA contributions, passive loss or income, taxable Social Security payments, student loan interest and more. You can find your AGI on Form 1040, Line 37.
Next, you'll need to figure out your net investment income based on the included earnings listed above. But before you can calculate your NII, you must know your gross investment income. Once you have that, subtracting eligible deductions from your gross investment income will provide you your NII. Some common investment deductions are brokerage fees, investment advisory fees, tax preparation charges, local and state income taxes, fiduciary expenses, investment interest expenses and any costs involved with rental and royalty income.
After all this, add together your MAGI and your NII. If that total is higher than the statutory threshold for your filing status, then you must pay the net investment income tax. Earlier we stated that you pay the NIIT based on the lesser of your net investment income or the amount by which your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) surpasses the filing status-based thresholds imposed by the IRS. In simpler terms, the dollar amount that's subject to this 3.8% tax, will vary as follows:
Here are a few examples of NIIT:Examples of Net Investment Income Tax Filing Status Statutory Threshold Your Income Amount Subject to the NIIT Taxes Owed Single $200K $120K (MAGI) + $40K (NII) = $160K $0 $0 Single $200K $170K (MAGI) + $80K (NII) = $250K $50K $1,900 Married Filing Jointly $250K $220K (MAGI) + $45K (NII) = $265K $15K $570 Married Filing Separately $125K $150K (MAGI) + $40K (NII) = $190K $40K $1,520 How to File the NIIT
IRS Form 8960 is devoted to the calculation of the net investment income tax. When you're ready to report and pay your NIIT, you'll do so via Form 1040. Estates and trusts looking to file the NIIT should use Form 1041. If you come across issues or specific questions related to this tax, you may want to consult a financial advisor or a certified public accountant (CPA).
According to the IRS, if you believe that you will pay the NIIT for the current tax year, you must account for it ahead of time. This involves either adjusting your income tax withholding or setting up quarterly estimated payments. Although this requires extra work, it could save you from underpaying the IRS come tax time.Tips for Managing Your Investments

Terror group calls for 'a month of calamity' during Ramadan demanding fanatics wreak havoc in the West
Sick spokesman threatens America and Europe with a string of attacks during holy June celebration
Sick ISIS militants have warned of a series of terrible attacks in the West, during the annual festival of Ramadan.
In his first speech since October 2015, ISIS spokesman Abu Muhammad told extremists: "Get prepared, be ready… to make it a month of calamity everywhere for the non-believers."
Muhammed's audio message was meant especially for "supporters of the caliphate in Europe and America."
The extremist encouraged Muslims to take up arms to attack the West during Ramadan, which starts on 7 June.
The fanatic also spoke to the migrants who have been left in limbo in Europe.
He said: "All you believers and unifiers, if the tyrants have closed off to you the gates of migration, you open in their faces the gates of jihad and make their actions become a regret.
"The smallest action you do in their heartland is better and more."
In the chilling message, the extremists said that they wanted to "punish the Crusaders day and night and bring fear to them, all the time."
Muhammed also encouraged lone wolf attacks, saying that such and act would win "the great award of martyrdom."
The month of Ramadan is a holy celebration for Muslims around the world.
Those who take part in Ramadan fast when the sun is in the sky and are allowed to feast when night falls.
The 30-day tradition is usually marked by extra prayer and special readings of the Quran.
The hate filled tirade lasted for 31 minutes.
But, in the speech titled "That They Live By Proof", there was no mention of the EgyptAir passenger jet.
The MS 804's crash is still a mystery as investigators are still searching for the aircraft's black box.
No terror group has come forward to claim responsibility for the tragedy.
But despite Muhammed's sick warnings of devastation in the West, ISIS's hold on Iraq and Syria is weakening.
Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi announced today that troops would try to take back the city of Fallujah, to the west of Baghdad.
Al-Abadi said that Iraqi soldiers were "approaching a moment of great victory".
Last week, ISIS was said to have declared a state of emergency in their self-proclaimed capital of Raqqa.
Reports by US officials also said that several ISIS fighters had tried to flee the extremist stronghold.

Not man's expectation
Such confidence we have through Christ before God. Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves but our competence comes from God. He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant - not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. - 2 Corinthians 3:4-6
As I was thinking about competence as a minister of God from this passage, I think it offers us a clue in our calling as ministers of God. In this passage, Paul addressed to the problematic congregation of the Corinthian church in defence of his ministry to the church of Corinth. The context of this part is Paul telling the church that their lives act as the letters of reecommendation that people in that age so need in order to speak in other places and he links the work of heart transformation to the works of God, not only in the lives of the congregation but also his competencies, which he claimed to come from God, thus placing all credits to God.
Perhaps the one thing to take note is that he claimed the competence came from God. This ought to catch our attention as ministers in the church today. Anyone who briefly studied the New Testament before will be aware that Paul did have sufficient training to qualify as a skilled theologian and minister. However, he placed the glory back to the hands of God, conceding that it was God who equipped him. As servants of God today, how many times do we find ourselves being too proud of our own abilities or being too insecured?
Looking back at my own experience, i must say there are times when i was confident of my own capability but God was able to use certain circumstances to prove otherwise. I have also seen extremes when people were afraid that they are not capable enough and thus shy away from the assignments which God has called them to. Yet Paul said it so clearly that the competence comes from God, not from man. If we are called to be His ministers, then why do we fear that He will not empower us to do His work? Why should we think that He wants to sabo His own work by sending out someone whom He does not care to equip in the first place? As I once tell someone, on what basis and evidence do we have to think in that way?
To sidetrack a bit in this stream of consciousness, I find existential evidence weak for such arguments. I have people coming to me and state all sorts of reasons why they should not be doing certain things. I have heard people doubting God just because they saw certain things happening and assume that that should be the model for them, without realising that God has the perogative to lead anyone down the route that He has planned for them. In some sense, when we display doubt and choose to dwell in it in such cases, we walk down the route of thinking that we know better than God how our lives should be shaped. My usual defence is that what about the other people who went through the same experience and yet experienced different endings? If existential evidence is being taken into account, the most both sides do is to negate each other and then what?
That is one reason I find Paul's reasoning so apt for this, as it tells us directly that it is not us who are the protagonists in the picture but God is really the one who equips us in His work. This is consistent with what the whole Bible says. To each one the manifestation of thr Spirit is given for the common good and to each one He equips differently.
This leads me to the next idea. If God is the one who calls us and equips me with the competence, then shouldn't we be God's ministers who aim to meet His expectations and not man's expectation? Paul, in his address to the Corinthian church, did not attempt to yield to the expectation of the church and went ahead to correct their errors in perhaps one of the harshest tones he could write amidst all the collected epistles. But one example that I would like to put forward is the example of Jesus, in His 40 days and nights in the wilderness.
We need to take note that this passage is not about whether Jesus would sin, neither is it about Jesus overcoming His doubt about His identity but at the very key of it, it is a passage that shows people what kind of messiah Jesus would be. Would He be a messiah who serves under man's expectation or the Messiah of God's expectation? The temptations proceed from the fact that He is the Song of God and that accordingly He must live as the Son of God. The temptation narrative pictures Jesus being asked what that means, if He was to be a wonder-worker, using His powers to meet His own needs, or if He was to do spectacular but pointless miracles or if He was to establish a mighty empire ruling over the whole world. In all these questions, we saw that Jesus overcame the Devil's temptations (with Scripture).
One might also want to note the interesting point that this is one event mentioned in the gospels where there is no eye witness. Therefore, if this was passed down from Jesus, then there must have been a divine reason that this got recorded down in the gospels. Interesting to note also that this passage is most prominently featured in the gospel of Matthew, which probably addressed to messianic Jews who were experiencing persecution from their Jewish counterpart. If this is the case, this makes a compelling reason why this passage occurs, in the schematics of Matthew, so early in the narrative - to inform the reader that Jesus Himself had succeeded in the tests and that He was not going to become a messiah that served man's expectation. Hence this provides an example for us as believers that we need not bow down to the trials and temptations that the enemy throws at us. If the world expects us to behave or believe in certain values, why on earth should we be flowing withhe crowd if this is not biblical at all?
Enough for now. I will hope to elaborate more on Matthew 4 if I ever have the time to blog down those thoughts

The National Park Service has determined that peak bloom was reached today, on April 9. The cherry blossoms are now in full bloom and looking beautiful and in their prime.
It's another warm and sunny morning. Photographers were out in force this morning ready for the sunrise. Unfortunately, a wispy cloud on the horizon diluted the light a bit so we didn't get much of that rich golden light we sometimes get, but there were some beautiful shots to be had nonetheless.
Thank you to the photographers who have already submitted their photos this morning. I'll post some of them shortly. In the meantime, here are a few I took this morning.
Want to Help Support DC's Cherry Trees?
If you'd like to help support the care and upkeep of the cherry trees around the Tidal Basin, the Trust for The National Mall has launched an Endow a Cherry Tree Campaign. Donations go to the official Cherry Tree Endowment, which will give the National Park Service additional resources to fund the care, maintenance, and possible replacement of the cherry trees. You can find more information here.
The Trust is dedicated to marshaling private support for maintaining and improving the history National Mall area. I'm not affiliated with the Trust--just an admirer of their efforts.
