Preparation for the next stage of performance trials for unibike is under way on-site at the SkyWay pilot production facility. Engineers carry out calibration of the vehicle using the data obtained previously. With adjustments for weight and size, this information is also applied when setting up the traction module of unibus being tested under laboratory conditions at this stage. Work on creating other types of rolling stock is continuing.
The process of building all the three test tracks goes on at EcoTechnoPark. The Contractors proceed with assembly of truss structure on the high-speed/urban system, have added improvements to the exterior of the station functioning as an anchor support, go on installing trusses on reversal sections of the lightweight urban route and have completed the installation of two anchor supports at the cargo track.

Permitted change from office to residential
The Government has confirmed that from Spring 2013 the permitted development rights will be temporarily extended for a period of three years to include a change of use from B1(a) office to C3 residential. This is an attempt to address the issue of low demand for office space and high demand for residential property. This could also help bring life back to the high street by changing vacant office space above a shop into a residential flat.
Local Authorities had until 22 February 2013 to apply for an exemption for specific areas on the basis that this new permitted development right would lead to the loss of a nationally significant area of economic activity or substantial adverse economic consequences. The exemptions that have been approved will be announced in Spring 2013.
A developer will still need to consult with the Local Authority before implementing this change of use. This prior approval process will cover off any issues with significant transport and highway impact, development in hazard zones, areas of flood risk and land contamination.
In addition, if any physical development is required then this will still be subject to the developer obtaining planning consent in the usual way.
Developers will need to carefully consider implications such as social housing requirements, any potential Community Infrastructure Charge, the VAT status of the property and any Stamp Duty Land Tax liability.
So, will developers have the opportunity to make a significant profit out of a failing office investment? Possibly, but the continued shortage of development finance and lack of bank funding could prevent developers from taking full advantage of this change.

Leaders That Dream (Part 2)
3 Key Points in this Episode:
- Identifying a dream is all about who that dream will impact.
- Becoming a leader that dreams involve changing the way you think about the purpose of your business.
- Becoming a leader that dreams also may involve changing the way you think about return on investment.
Show Notes:
Welcome to episode 78, I'm excited to continue the Build a Better Business – Leaders That Dream three-part mini-series. Today, in part 2 we are going to get into three very important parts of becoming a purpose-driven leader that dreams.
There are three key things you will learn in part 2 of this mini-series:
- Identifying a dream is all about who that dream will impact.
- Becoming a leader that dreams involve changing the way you think about the purpose of your business.
- Becoming a leader that dreams also may involve changing the way you think about return on investment.
Let's get started.
To build a better business I believe that leadership is the foundation. I also believe that leaders must pursue big dreams of making a real difference in the lives of the stakeholders in that business and the community it is a part of. We covered this in part-1 of the mini-series.
Identifying Your Dream
But, how do we as leaders identify which dream, we should chase?
The most important thing to keep in mind is that this dream is not about you and what you personally are hoping for in your life.
No one would have been inspired if Martin Luther King had said, "I have a dream that one day I will become rich and my children will have all the advantages my wealth will afford them. I have a dream that my children will be judged, not by the color of their skin but of the content of my bank account."
That is not what Martin Luther King said and that was not his focus. He dreamed about making the world a better place for millions of people. His dream resonated with so many people because it was what his audience wanted as much or even more than he did.
So, identifying your dream starts with identifying who your audience will be. In other words, who your ideal customer will be.
The next step is to find out what those ideal customers really want and need. Don't confuse preference with needs, in fact, your ideal customer may not know what they need and may be confused about what they want. They may need you to combine two things in a way that they never would have thought of as part of a solution that they didn't know they want and don't appreciate how much they need until you first tell them about it and second, they experience it for themselves.
How will you know when you have found the dream you should pursue with everything you've got?
When your ideal customer stops what they are doing, leans toward you, and basically says, "tell me more."
Your job is to brainstorm different ideas, connect those ideas to something you can do, and then test the idea with your ideal customers getting their feedback.
It can be this simple:
"I was thinking about this problem and we have been trying to develop a solution because we think it is important that someone solve this problem. Would you mind giving me some feedback on our idea?"
If this gets a positive response from a large enough group of your ideal customers, then you know you are on the correct path. Keep going with the idea and use the feedback you get to flush out the details. Pay attention to the details, that's where the Devil is, and stay focused on the impact this dream will have. The impact must be substantial enough that it both inspires people and moves them to act in support of it. They must want to adopt the dream because it isn't your dream, after all, it's theirs because people just like them helped develop it.
Becoming a Leader That Dreams
To become a leader that dreams you must shift your thinking in two very important ways.
First, you must change the way you think about the purpose of your business. The business is not there to provide you with a job. The business is not there to provide you and the other shareholders with a great profit statement alone. It exists to serve a greater purpose – namely the fulfillment of the dream that will have the greatest impact on the lives of the people it serves.
Second, you must change the way you look at return on investment. If you are purpose-driven and you have a dream that resonates with your ideal customer and has the potential to have a profound impact in those people's lives than you have an obligation to maximize profits and the return on investment in every way you can.
The profit will benefit the shareholders of the business this is true, but it will, more importantly, empower the business to take care of its employees and even more importantly be able to fulfill its purpose to a greater degree.
Making as much money as possible will be paramount because the more money you can make the more impact you can have. Growth and profitable expansion will be the order of each day and a primary focus.
One word of caution.
There is an ethical balance to this, which means that you must attempt to make as much money as possible to empower your business to make as big of an impact as possible without violating or harming something or someone else. If you do people will see through your hypocrisy and you will eventually be asked to render account and on that fateful day, you will lose your ability to continue to make an impact.
Let me illustrate.
Let's say your dream is to empower elderly people to stay in their homes longer which helps them maintain better health longer and restores their dignity. That is a great dream but if you rip off your suppliers to reduce the cost to your ideal customer you won't be in business long.
To be a leader that dreams you must be committed to making things better, not worse.
So, are you ready to embark on this journey?
Your assignment is to start the process of identifying your dream by brainstorming ideas and validating those ideas with your ideal customers. There is no time to waste so get started today!
This concludes part-2 of this mini-series.
On Tuesday, in episode 79 I am going to introduce you to Roger Pierce. Roger is going to talk about something that affects most entrepreneurs and business leaders – isolation. There is a reason that people say, "its lonely at the top" and Roger has a dream of eliminating that problem.
Next Friday, in part-3 of the Leaders That Dream mini-series we are going to discuss how to transition your business from where it is today into a purpose-driven business that is pursuing your dream.

Space detectives and drillers. School pupils are getting ready for the World Robot Olympiad
Space detectives and footballers with AI. Those are not characters of sci-fi books, but members of the preliminary round of World Robot Olympiad which will take place in Sochi.
Their creators are school pupils, members of the Russian national team. Nikolay Rastvortsev witnessed the flight of their creative fantasy and found out how the young engineers see their chances against competitors from other countries
Three bugs of unknown species scatter to the sides. A robot goes to find those unseen organisms. It makes its own decisions. The developer is merely watching. The programmed satellite broadcasts the images of terrain and draws the map of a distant planet's depths. The two lower monitors are the robot's eyes.
Andrey, member of Russian national Robotics team: "It draws the bugs and the crosshairs, which it can hit to catch them. On the right here are pictures where it classifies the bugs and distinguishes between photos of the bugs"
Having found the target the robot easily grabs it and brings it to the base for research. It is one of the projects which will compete at the World Robot Olympiad in Sochi. The main theme of the competition is space.
Another member of the national team – Vasiliy Dunayev. The 7-grader invented an entire production line on an unknown planet. The drill extracts minerals – the red bricks – then loads it onto a spaceship and delivers it back to Earth. The grey bricks – not interesting to scientists – are brought to the construction site. This whole robotic factory was assembled in 11 months. The pupil says he had many different variants and he took some time to deliver a final decision.
Vasiliy Dunayev, member of Russian national Robotics team: "First I thought of assembling a rocket from blocks at a different planet. But then we thought – so what that it would be just assembled? Let's do the minerals extraction"
Russian footballers still have a chance to become the world's best. But only these two for now – powered by AI. Football is one of the most difficult nominations at the tournament. A team has two players – a goalie and a striker. Russia's main rivals are from South-East Asia.
Pavel, member of Russian national Robotics team: "We were told that Malaysians are strong, came up with strong robots. We expect them to appeal often if something goes not their way – like if our robot grabs the ball"
40 teams will represent Russia at the Olympiad, 4 of them – from St. Petersburg. Competition will be strong – talented wonderkids from more than 50 countries will come to Sochi
Nikolay Rastovrtsev, reporter: "The Olympiad winner's cup is made of construction kit. Pupils from St. Petersburg have already brought trophies last year and the year before. There are chances to add to this collection at the upcoming games in Sochi. After the Olympiad, pupils from the Northern Capital will head to an international cup in Austria. They have been to such competitions twice and brought two gold medals. What's particularly valuable – they beat adults there"

So far this semester, students have participated in the annual StartUp Kick-Off event and Elevator Pitch Competition. The StartUp program culminates in April with the annual Showcase, where student teams present their business plans to a panel of investors for potential direct investment or sponsorship for the Fairfield University Entrepreneurship Laboratory (FUEL) Summer Fellows Program.
"The Business Model Workshop is designed to give prospective StartUp teams the help they need to compete for a spot in the annual Showcase," said Chris Huntley, PhD, StartUp Program Director and Dolan Associate Professor. "After a quick tutorial about the nine essential business questions that every startup has to address in order to succeed, students will craft business models for their own ideas, to present to alumni mentors.

Aluminum is one of the most used metals in today's society – Aluminium Shower Extrusions in Review it can be found across a number of industries, such as construction and commercial, and in a number of applications, such as beverage cans and appliances. When choosing a manufacturer of aluminium extrusion for supplying the metal that you use in your workplace, however, it is important that you carefully consider which one will be best for your needs.
The manufacturer will begin by removing the aluminium from deep within the earth's crust (either as bauxite ore or feldspar). Often, the Bayer's method, Wohler's method or Hall Heroult method is chosen to remove the metal in its molten form. It is then hardened and moulded into whatever shape the manufacturer desires. When the aluminium is extracted from the earth in its solid form, Aluminum Extrusion Corner Profiles it will be passed through a number of mechanical processes that are designed to give the metal its desired shape. These processes include: rolling, drawing, forging, spinning, piercing and extrusion.
Regardless of whether aluminium has been found in its molten or solid form, the manufacturer will then pass it through either a hot working or cold working process to prepare it for their customers. When using the hot working process (the most popular of the two), a billet will be heated to a temperature of over 79 degrees Celsius, which will allow the aluminium to be easily distorted and placed into its desired shape.
The reason for the popularity of the hot working process over the cold working one can be fully realized when you compare aluminium extrusion to squeezing toothpaste out of its tube. It is much easier to extrude the metal when it is malleable, meaning that it must have been heated to a certain temperature.
Finally, the aluminium will pass through an extrusion and drawing process that runs almost parallel to each other. This is the final step in the whole extrusion process and is the step that gives the metal its entire shape. Deep drawing, for example, is used give the metal a cup, conical tapered, cylinder and seamless tube shape. For less curved shapes, Aluminum Extrusion Framing the drawing process is skipped.
Once you are satisfied with the processes and methods utilized by a potential manufacturer of aluminium extrusions, you can begin submitting your orders with them. If, after your first delivery, you are still satisfied with the manufacturer based on the promptness of the order being filled and the quality of the aluminium that you receive, you can continue the relationship.
Aluminium Shower Extrusions in Review?
Aluminum Sliding doors are stackable doors of many panels that move entirely to one side stacked neatly together. Their earliest form can be seen in traditional Japanese architecture. Now they are a definite feature of most public spaces like malls, hospitals etc. They are manufactured with a sophisticated track and frame system with a superior sliding mechanism. They offer an energetic look to any property and helps to maximize the light in the room and achieving the full potential of the view. They are a feasible alternative to bi-folding doors, with a sash width going up to 120 cms.
What are the advantages of automatic aluminum sliding frame doors
· Disabled friendly - These automatic doors open and close on their own.
· Safety features - they have up to date safety features and wireless remote control as well. Timers allow security personnel to lock the doors without having to be present near them.
· Gives Footfall account - the number of times the door opens can be obtained. This is useful footfall information in malls or shops.
· Style and variety. These doors are available in aluminum, which can be painted to depict the company's logo etc. in an office. The latest frameless glass doors are very popular among offices, where they allow an uninterrupted view of the proceedings outside.
· They allow for heat or coolness retention since they open only when somebody approaches the door
What are the parts of an automatic aluminum sliding door
An automatic sliding door normally consists of the following parts
· Operator
· Header
· Track
· Carrier wheels
· Sliding door panel(s)
· Sidelite panel(s)
· Jambs
· Lock and activation/ safety setup
The door panels are made from extruded aluminum profiles and safety glass for visibility.
Applications of automatic sliding aluminum doors
· Higher the traffic through the doors, heavier will be the moving panel.
Good for offices, hospitals, malls, banks, restaurants, art galleries etc.
· Fire and smoke door applications
· Energy conservation
· Security control, directional control or card access control applications
Testing procedures - The doors are made to open and close automatically for forty eight hours at a stretch.
How are they assembled?
· When they are shipped, the instructions for installation accompany them.
· The instructions are to be read fully
· Two or more people are required to install it
· Be careful when handling the glass
· Operate power tools carefully according to manufacturer's instructions
What is weatherstripping?
Weatherstripping is sealing the sliding panels from the elements of the weather by an insulation strip. This has to be replaced when it gets worn out.
What are the things to watch out for in automatic sliding doors
· Installation is not easy - the tracks have to be perfectly aligned, and more than one person is required to install a sliding door.
· The track attracts dirt because it is a series of grooves in which dirt accumulates very fast
· The doors get jammed sometimes because of the rust and dirt of the metal parts. They have to be changed in this case. Regular oiling helps too.
· If there is a power cut, they will get jammed and they have to be forced open.
Solid Security Glass Block Windows & Walls For Commercial, Architectural and Institutional Projects
Over the last several years, heavy-weight particle board and cabinet-based displays have lost their appeal and made way for the next innovation in displays systems - truss display systems. Today, exhibitors who want a display that looks substantial without the cost and assembly headache of cabinetry are choosing truss systems.
The Problem
Display systems that use materials such as cabinets and laminate panels to create larger island displays can cost exhibitors thousands in shipping and assembly costs alone for each show. On top of that, constant assembly and tear-down of these systems can leave them chipped, scratched and beat-up after just a few years.
The Solution
Today, while laminate panel systems are still widely used and requested, a new breed of aluminum frame displays can be a less-costly alternative. These systems are sleek, functional, and offer all of the amenities of laminate panel systems, including shelving, overhead lighting, and storage. Additionally, these systems offer versatile and striking visual options including backlit graphics, tension fabric graphics and areas for plasma screens and computer demos.
How They Can Maximize Your Budget
As an alternative to heavier wood displays, aluminum displays are much lighter in weight, making them far less costly to ship. Additionally, many aluminum frame displays assemble without the need for tools, saving money in set-up costs.

Research on stem cell transplants began in the 1950s, with successful bone marrow transplants occurring in the 1970s, often to treat cancer patients whose own bone marrow was destroyed by chemotherapy and radiation. The first successful umbilical cord blood stem cell transplant was reported as occurring in the late 1980s. The recipient was a 6-year-old American boy from North Carolina who was treated for Fanconi's anemia (a genetic disorder) at Hospital St. Louis in Paris, France, using cord blood obtained from his younger sister's birth. Interestingly, more than 20 years after the transplant, this young man is alive and well. Not only did he survive long term, but both his immune system and his blood were transformed by the transplant of his sister's cord blood stem cells. Soon after this first documented cord blood stem cell transplant, the first public umbilical cord blood bank was established in 1991 in New York (McGuckin & Forraz, 2008).
Families with a history of diseases can store cord blood in a bank. These families can access it should a person get sick with an immune system or blood disease, like leukemia or sickle-cell anemia, later in life.
Because of their ability to regenerate, umbilical cord stem cells may provide the answers to conditions such as various forms of heart disease and diabetes. Medical researchers studying umbilical cord blood stem cells have recorded several positive observations in animal studies, including instances where cord blood stem cells have improved vascular functions in injured tissue, as well as blood flow and improved overall heart function.
There is little doubt that scientists believe umbilical cord blood stem cells hold promise for the future. Cord blood stem cells are already used to treat blood disorders such as aplastic anemia, and research is underway to determine if they can treat other more common conditions like type 1 diabetes. But many experts question whether many companies's marketing materials confuse or even mislead parents about the usefulness of private banking.
The American Academy of Pediatrics is an organization of 55,000 primary care pediatricians, pediatric medical subspecialists and pediatric surgical specialists dedicated to the health, safety, and well-being of infants, children, adolescents and young adults Read the full article on the AAP website.
There are two main types of cord blood banks: public and private. Public cord blood banks are usually nonprofit companies that store your donated cord blood for free, to be used for any sick child in another family or for research purposes, so accessing and using your own cord blood is not guaranteed. Private cord blood banks are companies that require a registration fee (plus annual storage fees) for your cord blood, but it is saved specifically for your own family, so you'll have ready access to it.
A person will always be a 100% match to his or her cord blood, which is the best fit as there are some conditions that can only be treated with one's own cord blood stem cells (or a perfect match). However, other conditions can be treated using donor stem cells that are partial genetic matches.

In 1989, Cryo-Cell International was founded in Oldsmar, FL, making it the oldest cord blood bank in the world. By 1992, it began to store cord blood. In addition to pursuing a wide variety of accreditations (AABB, cGMP, and ISO 1345), it was the first private cord blood bank in the U.S. to be awarded FACT accreditation. In 2017, it initiated a $100,000 Engraftment Guarantee (previously $75,000), the highest quality guarantee of any U.S. cord blood bank.
Cade Hildreth is the Founder of BioInformant.com, the world's largest publisher of stem cell industry news. Cade is a media expert on stem cells, recently interviewed by the Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Business Journal, Xconomy, and Vogue Magazine.
My one of the colleague used a cord blood bank process. They researched alot and at last the company they choosed is Umbilical Cord Blood Bank, Stem Cell Banking – Baby's Cord Storage as they found it very safe and at reasonable price.
Today, many conditions may be treatable with cord blood as part of a stem cell transplant, including various cancers and blood, immune, and metabolic disorders. Preserving these cells now may provide your family potential treatment options in the future.
The choices expectant parents make today go beyond finding out the gender of their baby. They span beyond deciding whether to find out if their child, still in the womb, may potentially have a genetic disorder. Today, many parents must decide whether to store their baby's umbilical cord blood so it will be available to heal their child if at any point in the child's lifetime he or she becomes sick.
Cord blood can be used in the treatment of nearly 80 life-threatening diseases – from cancers to blood disorders. It's also being used in regenerative medicine research to help kids with conditions like Autism and Cerebral Palsy.
After the baby is delivered, according to the procedures of cord blood banking, the umbilical cord is initially clamped and then cut out in the natural and usual manner. Here, the procedure for clamping and cutting remains the same for vaginal deliveries and c-section deliveries. However, while convening the procedure, make sure to get it done under the supervision of a competent and efficient professional.
The stem cells obtained from umbilical cord blood are also less likely than bone marrow stem cells to be rejected in transplants. Considered to be immunologically immature, umbilical cord blood stem cells produce significantly fewer natural killer cells, creating a substantial decrease in rejection. Consequently, cord blood stem cells require less rigorous antigen tissue matching for transplants than bone marrow stem cells (Sullivan, 2008). Research indicates that a mismatch of up to two antigen sites still provides successful clinical outcomes (Ballen, 2006; Fox et al., 2007). In fact, researchers report that the rate of rejection for cord blood stem cell transplants is half the rate of rejection for bone marrow transplants (Ballen et al., 2001). When compared directly in cases of mismatched antigens, there was clearly less rejection in transplants involving cord blood stem cells than bone marrow stem cells (Moise, 2005).
The FDA regulates cord blood bank operations with strict guidelines. However, additional licenses maybe required in some states. Laboratories should also be AABB accredited. The AABB promotes the highest standards of care for both patients and donors in all aspects of blood banking, transfusion medicine, relationship testing, hematopoietic, cord blood and other cellular therapies.
Jaing TH, Hung IJ, Yang CP, Chen SH, Sun CF, Chow R. Rapid and complete donor chimerism after unrelated mismatched cord blood transplantation in 5 children with beta-thalassemia major. Biol Blood Marrow Transplant.2005;11 :349– 353
24/7 opperation of services, including holidays, is a must. As we all know, giving birth can happen at any time of day, which is why core blood banks should be at the ready for whenever your little one make his or her grand debut. Select a cord blood bank that utilizes industry approved standards for shipping. Temperature fluctuations speeds up cell death which affects the number of viable cells that reaches the laboratory for storage. Cord blood banks which use commercial shipping services, such as FedEx, use heavily insulated boxes to protect specimens. While others use medical couriers who specialize in delivering medical specimens, for added protection of your cord blood or tissue specimens.

Column | The liberal stampede to 'Abolish ICE'
"No Borders! No Nations! No Deportations!" "Abolish ICE!"
Before last week, these were the mindless slogans of an infantile left, seen on signs at rallies to abolish ICE, the agency that arrests and deports criminal aliens who have no right to be in our country.
By last week, however, "Abolish ICE!" was no longer the exclusive slogan of the unhinged left. National Democrats were signing on.
Before his defeat in New York's 14th Congressional District, Joe Crowley, fourth-ranked Democrat in the House, called ICE a "fascist" organization.
After Crowley's rout by a 28-year-old socialist who called for killing the agency, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., declared ICE to be "a cruel deportation force (that) we need to abolish."
Cynthia Nixon, a candidate for governor of New York, described ICE as a "terrorist organization ... terrorizing people who are coming to this country. ... We need to abolish ICE."
A star of "Sex and the City" castigated the men and women of ICE as terrorists at St. Paul and St. Andrew United Methodist Church in Manhattan. One wonders what the pastor thought of this Christian message.
Friday, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio joined the clamor: "We should abolish ICE." Over the weekend, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., signed on:
"President Trump seems to think that the only way to have immigration rule is to rip parents from their family (and) treat rape victims and refugees like terrorists and to put children in cages."
What ICE does is "ugly" and "wrong," said Warren.
"We need to rebuild our immigration system from top to bottom starting by replacing ICE with something that reflects our morality."
Wisconsin Democratic Congressman Mark Pocan plans to introduce legislation to do exactly that – abolish ICE. President Donald Trump describes this latest liberal campaign as social and political insanity: "You get rid of ICE you're going to have a country that you're going to be afraid to walk out of your house."
What is going on here?
Democrats, having just gone through the worst week in memory for progressives, are in imminent danger of losing it altogether.
Last week, the Supreme Court ruled that not only is the Trump travel ban constitutional, government unions have no right to extract "agency fees" from workers who do not wish to support the union.
Such fees violate the First Amendment rights of government workers not to promote policies or ideas in which they disbelieve.
Then came word that Justice Anthony Kennedy, the "swing vote" on the Supreme Court who was crucial to the decisions that established abortion, homosexuality and same-sex marriage as constitutional rights, will be stepping down
And Trump informed the press that he would announce Kennedy's successor on July 9, to be drawn from a list of 20 jurists and legal scholars, all of whom have been vetted by the Federalist Society.
Panic ensued.
"I'm scared. You're scared. We're all scared," says Warren in a video her campaign has released.
On Bill Maher's show, leftist film director Michael Moore called for a million citizens to surround the Capitol to prevent a vote on Kennedy's successor. How Moore's million-man march proposes to get into Mitch McConnell's Senate chamber was left unexplained.
At a fundraiser in Berkeley, California, Barack Obama tried to calm his terrified minions: "All these people that are out here kvetching and wringing their hands and stressed and anxious and constantly watching cable TV and howling at the moon, 'What are we going to do?' Their hair is falling out."
But liberal elites making fools of themselves is a less serious matter than the savage slanders Democrats are hurling at the 20,000 men and women of ICE who are daily protecting us and our country.
ICE, after all, was established to prevent another 9/11, when real terrorists, some of whom had overstayed their visas, massacred 3,000 innocent people, most of them Americans.
This vilification of ICE, writes Deputy Director Thomas D. Homan, represents both an injustice and an act of ingratitude:
"Since September 2016, ICE has arrested nearly 5,000 criminal aliens in New York – individuals with a criminal conviction in addition to their violation of immigrant laws. Many of these arrests were conducted at large in the community which ICE is increasingly forced to do due to sanctuary policies in the state that prevent us from taking custody of criminal aliens in the secure confines of a jail.
"Governor (Andrew Cuomo) supports these policies at the expense of the safety of the very same communities he took an oath to protect."
The issue of 2018: Should we, or should we not, abolish ICE and embrace the progressive alternative of open borders?

CEDAR RAPIDS — It just isn't going especially well right now for the Cedar Rapids Kernels.
A dreary 11-2 loss Tuesday night to Quad Cities at Veterans Memorial Stadium brought C.R.'s May record to an uninspiring 5-9.
Things definitely are not trending up. The club ranks 10th of 16 teams in the Midwest League in earned run average, 14th in batting average and 14th in fielding average.
There have been a lot of moving parts with the roster, and that has played a role in things. But Manager Brian Dinkelman pointed out that in professional baseball, you need to take advantage of any opportunity you get.
"You give the players a chance to get out there and play," he said. "See what they can do and hope that they produce, develop and learn. Play the game well. You run them out there and keep playing hard and hopefully turn things around."
Quad Cities (23-11) has the MWL's best record, with a lot of that having to do with excellent pitching. Cody Deason and Luis Garcia combined to allow just five hits here and retired 15 straight hitters at one point.
A five-run fifth inning against Kernels starter Luis Rijo produced more than enough offense.
"That first guy tonight we had a chance against," Dinkelman said, referring to Deason. "But that second guy was tough. Had a good breaking ball."
The shuffling of the deck player wise continued Tuesday with two more transactions.
Outfielder DaShawn Keirsey Jr. was placed on the seven-day injured list with a shoulder problem, while catcher David Banuelos was promoted to high-Class A Fort Myers. The Kernels received a pair of outfielders from extended spring training in Jean Carlos Arias and Jared Akins.
This is the second IL stint for Keirsey, who is hitting .127 in 16 games. He dealt with a hip flexor injury earlier this season.
Banuelos was hitting .214 in 18 games for C.R., with two home runs and nine RBIs. A superior defensive catcher, he was in his second season with the Kernels.
This is the second go-around here this season and third in two years for Arias, who played in 79 games last season for the Kernels. He was 3-for-19 in seven games this April before being shipped to Fort Myers.
Akins played in 18 games last season for Cedar Rapids, hitting .209. He spent the rest of his 2018 season with Rookie-level Elizabethton.
The teams play a Wednesday game at noon, concluding C.R.'s brief four-game homestand.

Director David Ayer's social media activity has reignited rumors that Baby Driver's Eiza González may be Catwoman in Gotham City Sirens. Warner Bros. is exploring several avenues that will keep Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn front and center as their DC movie universe continues on. The quickest option for her to return to the role appears to be in Suicide Squad 2, but that is just one of many Harley Quinn projects in development. While a Birds of Prey appearance was at one time rumored and a Harley Quinn vs The Joker movie now also being discussed, it has been Gotham City Sirens that appears to be the farthest along.
Suicide Squad director David Ayer is re-teaming with Robbie for this potential spinoff that would bring Poison Ivy and Catwoman into the universe. Gotham City Sirens is still said to be in development despite several other projects popping up, and has been the one Harley movie to continue to see new rumors appear. The latest speculation is reigniting a previous rumor from this summer.
Related: Jared Leto Expected To Be In Gotham City Sirens
As pointed out on Reddit, David Ayer recently followed Eiza González on Twitter, leading some to wonder if she will indeed (or already has) landed the role of Catwoman in Gotham City Sirens. This should be taken with a grain of salt as it could merely be a coincidence or Ayer saw Baby Driver and was a fan of what she did. But, when this activity (and her new Catwoman like haircut) is added to previous clues of her visiting the Warner Bros. lot and showing photos of her recent Catwoman-esque uniform, there is a compelling case to be made.
González would be an interesting choice to play Selina Kyle if she is indeed cast. At only 27, she is the exact same age as Robbie, making them a pairing that could continue on for years to come if Gotham City Sirens launches a franchise. She is also not yet a huge star, so Catwoman could be her big role that she becomes known for, giving Warner Bros. an up and comer in the process.
That all said, there is no indication that Sirens is even in the casting process at this point. The only updates on the film's development have been about Ayer still being attached to the project, and that it is still something the studio is developing. What stage the script is in, when it could potentially film, and how much of a priority it is for the studio are all questions that need to be answered. With Suicide Squad 2 moving forward first, it still may be some time before Gotham City Sirens comes out, thus delaying González's debut - if she is Catwoman after all.
NEXT: Aubrey Plaza Wants to Play Catwoman
Gotham City Sirens is currently in development and does not have a release date.

Isabel Cocker/The Santiago Times Staff
SANTIAGO/LONDON – The British Broadcasting Company (BBC) has released its 100 Women 2017 list, which names 100 influential and inspirational women across the globe annually, highlighting Michelle Bachelet as the first female President of Chile.
Bachelet is one of 10 South American women to be named, along with one Argentine and 8 Brazilians.
Each year the media company challenges the named women to make progress in areas which still adversely affect females across the world. This year, the women are split into four "teams" which will each tackle one project: #Teamlead, #Teamread, #Teamgo and #Teamplay. These challenges correspond to the problems posed by the glass ceiling, female illiteracy, street harassment and sexism in sport.
Chile's Bachelet defends environment at U.N. General Assembly
Bachelet has been assigned to #Teamread, with the aim that she will be able to share her experiences of working as the head of U.N. Women, an entity working for the empowerment of women, and as the head of State for Chile. By sharing her experiences and working together with the other inspirational women on the team, the BBC hope that the women will provide innovative solutions to problems which continue to affect women globally.
The women named on the list are drawn from a wide range of backgrounds and sectors. Also from the political sphere are Susi Pudjiastuti, the Indonesian Minister for Maritime affairs, and Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the President of Liberia and the first female elected head of State in Africa.
Chillán cheers as Bachelet signs decree to create new Chilean region
So far, 60 of the 100 women have been named. The other 40 women will be added during October as more and more inspirational women add their ideas and contribute possible solutions for each of the teams.

Good turnout for my second book reading/signing on the Zero Degree of Meaning Tour at The Unjekylled Man's Comics & Things. Not as good as the first reading/signing—I counted over 400 Rotarians in the amphitheater—but there were 50 or so people in attendance, including my father, again. This time he disguised himself more covertly, i.e., in a way that didn't call attention to himself, although he's tall, 6'8", the same height as my protagonist in Codename Prague, and he stands out, so to speak, no matter what. The disguise itself isn't important. I signaled for him to wait for me after the performance and he signaled back in compliance. Then he left before I began.
Unjekylled Man's is a cool place. Retrolibre décor and lots of old books and comics in pristine condition that aren't too expensive; I found a first edition issue of Jeff Lint's The Caterer for $15. The guy who runs the store—the unjekylled man, allegedly—was polite to a fault, plastering an entire wall with posters of my book covers, reciting long paragraphs from my books by rote, getting me drinks whenever our eyes met, even offering to chauffer me around town whenever I needed a lift, no strings attached.
I asked him what an unjekylled man is. He gave me an answer that I didn't understand. I told him the problem with a man being unjekylled is that Jekyll—i.e., the protagonist from Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the only Jekyll I've ever heard of—is a man, unlike Hyde, the 'gänger, who is arguably a mutant, or at least a perversion, if only psychosomatically, of a man, and so, theoretically, to "unjekyll" a man would be to unman a man, rendering the man not a man at all. It would've been more accurate to call the shop The Unhyded Man's Comics & Things, since a perversion, psychic or corporeal or both, is more likely to be removed from one's core being, as opposed to removing the core itself. The owner mentioned something about Freud and castration and we turned to other matters.
For my reading, I decided not to recite anything from Codename Prague but rather to recite Vincent Price's monologue at the end of Michael Jackson's "Thriller," pass it off as my own, and tell everybody that it was a chapter in the novel. "Thriller" was released in 1982, nearly thirty years ago, and some of you might not remember it. Just in case, here is Price's monologue:
Darkness falls across the land.
The midnight hour is close at hand.
Creatures crawl in search of blood
to terrorize y'alls neighborhood.
And whosoever shall be found
without the soul for getting down
must stand and face the hounds of hell
and rot inside a corpse's shell.
The foulest stench is in the air.
The funk of forty thousand years
and grizzly ghouls from every tomb
are closing in to seal your doom.
And though you fight to stay alive,
your body starts to shiver.
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the Thriller.
I didn't do the laugh at the end. Throughout my recitation, I noticed a distinct shift in listener attentiveness and attitude. Nobody left, and nobody accused me of plagiarism afterwards during Q&A. But almost everybody made faces that suggested they were being violated or mistreated in some way. And later, beneath the static of harsh whispers, I heard the phrase "assault on the reader" traded repeatedly. Whatever the case, somehow I managed to sell and sign 100+ copies of Codename Prague and They Had Goat Heads. One gentleman bought twelve copies apiece. I asked him why that number. Like the owner, he gave me an answer that I didn't understand.

As slick as the designs on the Galaxy S8 and the brand new S9 are, some people just can't get down with all the changes Samsung makes to Android on the inside. It's an understandable complaint, especially since just a few year ago, Samsung's TouchWiz skin (which is now called the Samsung Experience), was often responsible for causing phones to lag. But what if there was a phone with the good looks of a late model Galaxy S, but with stock Android inside? Well here's your answer, it's the Nokia 8 Sirocco.
Design wise, the Sirocco is basically a wider, edgier version of the Galaxy S8. Photo: Sam Rutherford (Gizmodo)
Just a quick look at the Sirocco (which is named after a legendary southerly Mediterranean wind - it's a European thing) and a Galaxy S8 and you can immediately see the resemblance. Both phones feature a glass sandwich design with rounded sides. The only major difference is that the Sirocco sports a boxier 16:9 LCD display compared to the vibrant 18:9 OLED screen found on the Samsung.
The specs of the phones are quite similar too, with the Sirocco featuring a Qualcomm 835 processor, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, Qi wireless charging, and even IP67 water resistance.
Photo: Sam Rutherford (Gizmodo)
But as I mentioned before, unlike a typical Galaxy S device, there's no TouchWiz gunking up the OS. That's because the Sirocco is part of Google's Android One initiative, which means the only kind of Android the Sirocco will ever use is pure stock. What a joy.
Photo: Sam Rutherford (Gizmodo)
Around back, the Sirocco even has dual cameras, though, from my brief time with the phone follwing HMD Global's launch event, it looked like HMD's camera processing still isn't quite as proficient as Samsung's. On the other hand, HMD's manual camera controls are fantastic.
Photo: Sam Rutherford (Gizmodo)
After a quick examination of both the interior and exterior of the phone, it seems HMD's biggest mistake was getting rid of the phone's headphone jack. But as far as missteps go, that's a somewhat minor offence, and I don't want to take too much away from what seems like a very solid device. So for anyone out there who has ever wondered what it would look like if Samsung made a Galaxy S with stock Android, you finally have an answer: It's the Nokia 8 Sirocco.
The lack of a headphone jack is the Sirocco's only real mistake.Photo: Sam Rutherford (Gizmodo)
The Sirocco will go on sale in May here in Australia and will retail at $1,199 (AUD RRP) at JB Hi-Fi.

Million $$... or a bit Less?
Dear Colleagues how much do you think would be a fair charge to a company, (a exceptional restaurant) to pay for the following video:
To give some production specs:
* Shot in full HD
* 3 flights to location were required
* a total of 7 days shooting
* The music was assigned to a professional composer
* Extensive editing and reshooting following 3 phases of preview and requests for changes from the client.
The video is o be projected in monitors in a Casino facility in Las Vegas USA. And also uploaded in the web
Best regards
Happy filming 2011!
My opinion - i would charge 7 days of yours and crews daily rate for shooting, add in the cost of all travel (flights, taxi, vehicle hire etc), the composers fee, your editing fee for the hours spent editing and any extra time for reshooting and changes.
Did you agree to a fee with the client beforehand? I don't think it matters much whether it will be projected in a casino in las vagas or a kebab shop in London, you charge accordingly to your own companies rates and what you agreed with the client when you submitted your quote.
Nice Work Nicos ! ! !
Good edits and well planned out , I have no idea how much you can make with that, ask what you think its worth .
p.s. so how much you made , i bet you will not say
? need extra manpower in
-keying / bluescreen compositing
-tracking Film into 3D
-Adding 3D elements to shots
then send some electric current to
If you've already shot it, why are you asking us for the price? You should have budgeted it out before starting the project, even if it's for a friend so you could ensure what you are delivering is in the ballpark and you can get 50% up front to cover expenses.
Does "Full HD" really mean your DLSR? Not quite HD. Not that the client or their clients would notice. However Casinos in Las Vegas have quality stuff. If what is being projected on either side of this video is true HD, it may be noticeably not-HD to lay people.
What does 7 days of shooting mean? You wandering around with a camera? You directing a 5 man crew in and out of studio space? or ?
You should have figured your expenses, time and resources to get a budget, summed it up, then reviewed that against what the client would probably be expecting to pay for it which is probably 5-7k ish. If your budget was grossly over the client's valuation of the product, then you'd be in a bad situation if "7 days of shooting" and "extensive editing and reshooting following 3 phases of preview" meant a lot.
The client doesn't care if you spent 10 hours or 1000 hours of your time. If you blew 1000 hours and come back with a $50k invoice they'll laugh and kick you out. They only care about a quality deliverable at a great price.
However since you probably shot it without a budget, you probably weren't concerned with the final price as long as it paid you. In which case you should charge what is inline with the client's expectations based on the value of the product. Probably 5-7k with 1-2k of that going to the composer; but I'd have to base it on a budget.
Cory Petkovsek
Corporate Video
I am afraid I have not put it right, I wanted to know the communities opinion without preoccupying you with the price I charged them.
It just happens Greece to be under crisis and have to consider working internationally…. I don't know the figures…!
Yes I had a detailed budget discussed and agreed with them and also got paid on time having an excellent collaboration.
The budget included,
Boat man-fuels
Diver/camera man
Camera man
2nd Cameraman
Scuba equipment
Mixing/mastering studio
Graphic designer
Flights cost
Equipment rental…. Etc… etc…
I charged around 8k euro. I am happy with this taking into account the Greek Market. I would love to know what cinematographers around the world would charge for a similar project.
$8K Euro would be somewhere around $10.5K USA. Not knowing what your real expenses are and your cost of living makes it hard to evaluate. It that amount includes expenses and crew costs as I know them locally to me, that might even be a money loser. If one assumed 14 working days including shooting, editing, travel time, that would be $750 USA per day. That might cover the cost of just the camera operator and gear and nothing else such as travel, rentals, composer, scuba person with camera, graphics.
Of course if your cost of living is very low and the travel, rentals, crew were inexpensive, it would be comfortable.
20 grand.
That's just multiplying day rates and adding expenses.
That looked very nice, and while it took some time to make it's point, did it well.
Actually, the piece you did is a model for how to explain and negotiate a rate with the client. Your piece shows in detail every step that went from fish in the sea to meal on the plate. If you can make the client understand the same kinds of steps you have to do to make this kind of project, then whatever price you want to charge him is going to seem much more reasonable as a reflection of the work involved. Civilians generally think that gear and time cost nothing and that the price you charge is all pure profit, maybe an obscene profit. You have to help them distinguish between your profit and the expenses that any other competitor would also have to pay for, and then they won't just walk away from your estimate. Well, they might, I guess, if they can't afford it. But if it is an accurate estimate, you really CAN'T deliver it for much less and still make a reasonable profit for the time spent. That's also good to know, so that you don't end up losing money on the deal.
Eight sounds low. An ad agency in the states would not blink at charging over fifty thousand US for that. They might get an argument from the client and need to show receipts, though.
"Καλή τύχη, φίλε»
This looked like a Vimeo stream with all the bumping and stuttering. But I think the client got a half price deal on this one. I agree, $10,000 sounds like cost to me, break even at best. Don't think you could sustain a viable business for long with this model.
But the footage was pretty good....didn't get a real sense for the editing with the bumpy stream.

I want to thank everyone for the time they have taken to reply to my post! I took a good idea. As I said 8k was a good deal for me not only due to Greek Market but also because that was my first attempt to make a corporate film (I had done shortfilms and animations, these do not make a corporate portfolio really!)Yes this could have been a money looser, but closely was not. Though Rich Rubasch is right on questioning the viability of my business. Generally, I am one of those that believe that a job must be paid what is worth (and in the past paid for this belief!). If read backwards it would sound like "you only get for what you pay for..." This is not easily applied to a business that requires artistic effort.
I hope in the next project I will be more fair to myself.
I must say again I enjoyed a wonderful collaboration with the client.
Also this forum post was very educational for me...Never underestimate the kindness of strangers!!!
Happy filming for 2011!
Καλή τύχη σε όλους!
Good luck to all!
Whatever you charged.... watching your video made me hungry!
Nice job.
[Nikos Mamalos] "Rich Rubasch is right on questioning the viability of my business."
[Nikos Mamalos] "I hope in the next project I will be more fair to myself."
But not with this client or any recommendations they might make.
[Nikos Mamalos] "I had done shortfilms and animations, these do not make a corporate portfolio really!"
Many starving artists have great portfolios.
One must weigh the portfolio vs paying the bills. Word of mouth is your best marketing tool. Repeat clients are the greatest source of easy income since they require less marketing effort. You might have a good portfolio piece but you've made your marketing much more difficult.
This client will likely expect a similar price in the future. Basically you've set up an unsustainable relationship.
Word of mouth will likely mean any recommended business will expect a similar price which means the recommendations will be unsustainable.
Basically undercharging is the business equivalent of hanging an albatross around your business's neck. There's nothing wrong with doing a portfolio piece. One can find any number of worthy not for profits to do that for. In those cases, your work will get seen by donors who, additionally, are in sympathy with the good deed you've done. These will likely be new customers willing to pay a fair price as they are the "patrons" to the cause and they become bonded with your sympathy to the cause that you both support.
Additionally, by undercharging, not only have you set up an unprofitable relationship with the business and any recommended clients they might bring to you, you've set up price expectations that other production companies will be expected to meet. This is a big contributor to the downward price spiral going on in this business.
Craig Said >>

So very true. And those birds BITE.
While I'm all for giving clients the best price possible for a project, it does neither the client or prodco any good to not charge enough to cover expenses and make a decent profit on a job, because the prodco will go out of business.
Also, if you are the director on a job, and your hard costs for this job came to $8K, for instance, and you charged the client $10K, you did NOT just make a $2K profit. Remember to pay yourself. I only bring this up because I used to make this mistake a lot. Otherwise, you may as well work at McDonald's.
Finally, while I do appreciate the folks who are very day rate oriented, I hope that you guys are including the planning and administrative costs of doing a project like this in your day rate, somehow. Projects like this one are absolutely not run-and-gun, I'd probably spend a week or so in prepro on a gig like this, and that's time you should be paid for.

Aside from a great video, I gotta say, that music is definitely stuck in my head...
Yes, they go a great deal.

This little pearl is from our weekend with Crossfit InVictus..Needless to say it would be VERY easy to do, but luckily we have an awesome community of people that will help you push yourself as hard as possible
5Min Sprint
Burpee Box over
This was a test that we had to perform with very little heads up. You will push yourself as hard as physically possible for 5 min. Lets face it not a lot of people like burpee box jumps but thats ok. This is a test of will power and overall desire to push yourself. Remember you can always fall down right? KEEP MOVING!
Standards-Chest and thighs to floor, Both feet must touch the top of the box. Step ups are ok.
When you are finished with your time cheer everybody else on going in the next heat.

Good programming this am.
Pre work was good. I like wall facing squats.
Really helps on my back and my form.
Level 2: worked my way up to 75 lbs. got some good tips from Coach MR. Worked on my pull and shrug. Stayed at the button for a few seconds on each OHS on the 1st couple of rounds.
5 min burpee. Total of 49 reps. My goal was 10 a minute.
Thanks for Joel for counting. (It really helps)
Only did 2 minute squat hold.
Had to get dresses for successes 🙂
See ya tomorrow am
I enjoyed today's prep work,
those wall facing squats were fun! I did level 1 because I've never done jerks or OHS before, but I was really excited to try them! I went very light at 15# because I have a REALLY bad shoulder and I felt it at times. I was attempting to hold the squat at the bottom for up to 5 sec. For today's WOD I got in 55 burpees over box, thanks to my sister Brenda for counting! I used 2 18# KBs for the lunges and the 5 minute squat after that was brutal to say the least, but overall it was a great workout!
65lb 3 position snatch…wrist feels good 🙂 Snatching was a little awkward but hopefully it's like riding a bike 🙂 shoulders are not used to overhead stuff so they fatigued quickly.
Burpee box overs – 67…love these lung burners not only for the physical challenge but the mental challenge. I wanted 70 but ran out of time.
Prep Work
50' Duck walk
3 Rds
10 PVC pass throughs
10 Behind the neck push press
10 Wall facing squats
Pass throughs were hard today.
Wall facing squats were the deal breaker.
Level Two
15 Min working on a 3 Position Snatch
1.High Hang
2.Mid Thigh
Built up to 135, focused on speed/ patience on the final pull and sitting in the whole. Feel like my snatch is getting a little more consistent.
5Min Sprint
Burpee Box over
Did this yesterday got 80, coughed for a couple hours. Didn't think it would be as bad as it was, hurt just as bad after as before.
ACC Work
3X10 Tempo walking lunges
2 Second decent on each step
Used 35.53, 62.
5Min Squat test after final set.
Focused on keeping my toe to the ground, could feel the outside of shin.

Rowed a recovery 2k
Worked on shoulder mobility,
hamstrings as they have been tighter then normal the last couple weeks.
Worked on my 3 pull snatches today. Working hard on not being a stripper and keeping my butt down. Also working on pulling to the hips. Pretty much just used the 35# bar most of the time and then switched to 65# for 2 rounds. Made improvements on keeping my butt down and hitting the pocket. Now I need to work on my lower back hyperextension.
5 minutes of BURPEE box jump overs………enough said. I got 56. After about 10 moved to burpee step overs. I need to improve this score for sure. Something to work on.
Used 35# KB for the lunges.
On the squat hold, my shins were blowing up. Otherwise felt great!!

Radiologist – Amir Yazdi
I recently took part in the 'one week intensive French language' course with Mr Maarten Stroes. The course consisted of numerous exercises of standard grammar and vocabulary but also contained elements, which were customised to my medical field. The 8 hour-per-day program was rigorous but never overwhelming.
Furthermore Maarten engaged me in conversation and encouraged and stimulated me to express myself in French, whilst constantly correcting my mistakes in a strict yet gentle manner; hallmarks of a good teacher. rAt the end the week the progress that I had made was tangible and he kindly provided me with tips, documents and additional resources to work on my French on a self-study basis.
Besides language courses Mr Stroes and his wife offer various additional services in fields such as taxation, insurances, emigration planning and coaching. Their in depth knowledge of the French system and 'no-nonsense' approach makes them the ideal partner for professionals and entrepreneurs who wish work and live in France.
Maarten is a knowledgeable and experienced teacher but foremost an honest and friendly person. I look back on our encounter with warm sentiments and can recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone who wishes to know more about the French culture and improve his French.

Claire – Anaesthesist
I recently completed the 5 day intensive French course aimed at medical professionals looking to start working in France. If this is something you are considering, then I couldn't recommend this course highly enough. The course is intensive without being overwhelming and the progression in spoken French as well as comprehension and grammar is definitely noticeable by the end of the week. Maarten is wonderfully friendly and professional, with the patience of a saint! The course content is personally tailored to your medical specialty, with particular focus on the vocabulary and grammar required to construct sentences and interact with patients and colleagues in the French language. At the end of the course, Maarten also gives you the necessary tools and resources to continue to progress in your language skills in a more self-directed fashion. To add to all of this, the school's location allows you to experience rural France at its most tranquil, with beautiful countryside walks to help clear your head in the evenings. Highly recommended.

Occupational physician – Gonnie Meijer
When I think back to my course week, "tailored" and "pedagogical insight" are the first words I think of. Tailored in the sense that Maarten through his experience quickly discovered what my weaknesses were and thus reacted accordingly (therefore not simply providing a standard programme). Pedagogy: he was able to fill those gaps in a suitable by alternating conversation, role-playing, watching videos etc. He was also able to clearly explain linguistic difficulties in a way that stuck in my memory and which I can reproduce to this day. Chapeau!
Artiste – Paul Tieman
An artist who cannot talk about his work, who cannot give a spontaneous explanation at an exhibition and who is unable to build a network will not easily take root in the unruly French soil.
Maarten was able to organise in an intensive yet sympathetic way my extremely messy language within a week. He efficiently used film discussions, texts, conversations and hilarious, but effective exercises to tackle persistent language obstacles. His attention to the use of language in social situations was notable. Through his course, I realised for the first time that it's fine to make mistakes, and that the inevitable accent will in fact be regarded affectionately, but that you must adapt language to the level of your professional environment. I was finally able to refine my French during that week there in the beautiful Parc Naturel du Morvan to a level that suits me.
General practitioner – Annet Sollié
Maarten is a quiet, flexible and good teacher. He adapted the level and content of the course to my ability during that week. I progressed by leaps and bounds and I have mainly become much more confident speaking French. Maarten motivates, and challenges you sufficiently. In short, nothing but praise.
My children aged 11 and 13 were given three afternoon classes by Lonneke during this week. My daughter, who essentially refused to speak French at home, participated enthusiastically and even wanted to do her homework as soon as she got home. Working on our emigration together in this way is ideal.
Owner Bed & Breakfast – Jim Fenell
When I moved to France, my knowledge of French was very basic. I booked a one week course with Maarten because I was to set up a business and I needed to be able to have regular conversations with artisans, 'fonctionnaires' and clients. He very quickly judged my existing level and adjusted the format of the week to concentrate on my greatest areas of need. I was very impressed that he varied his methods of teaching regularly and even though a week of 1:1 training is intense, it didn't feel too much at any stage. After the course, I felt that I had a solid base of grammar and vocabulary which gave me the confidence to have conversations in French and I have continued to improve since then. I would highly recommend Maarten.

Pour moi, la langue française constituait le plus grand obstacle à l'exercice de ma profession en France. Le stage de français médical m'avait beaucoup aidé à oser franchir le cap et à commencer à travailler bien outillé. C'est pour cette raison que je me suis inscrit (plus d'un an après mon installation et mon premier cours de français médical) au cours de perfectionnement de WyWtF destiné aux professionnels de santé qui exercent déjà depuis un certain temps en France. Cela a été encore très utile pour mieux comprendre mes confrères français, ainsi que les différents organismes auxquels j'ai affaire en France. Après ce stage, je me sens encore plus à ma place ici . Je peux le recommander à tout le monde !
Irene Bieszke & Henk Kersten – Chambre d'Hôtes
Au début de cette année, nous avons suivi un cours de français, niveau intermédiaire, au centre de formation Work your Way to France. Nous aurions dû le faire plus tôt ! On s'était rendu compte depuis un moment que nos connaissances scolaires du français n'étaient pas suffisantes pour être à l'aise dans les conversations avec nos voisins et nouveaux amis ici en France. Avec eux nous voulions pouvoir parler de façon informelle et amical. Comme nous gérons des chambres d'hôte, nous voulions également apprendre à mieux parler de façon plus formelle avec nos fournisseurs et les différents organismes auxquels nous avons affaire.
Les cours de Maarten nous ont beaucoup apporté au niveau de notre vocabulaire, de la syntaxe, de la culture générale concernant la France et nous ont surtout donné le courage de nous exprimer en français.
Les cours étaient très agréables à suivre, très variés et avec certains thèmes très pratiques qui revenaient régulièrement. Pour nous, c'était une très bonne chose de nous être consacrés pleinement et intensément à notre nouvelle langue. Ça a été tout de suite d'une grande utilité dans notre vie quotidienne. »

St. John's Episcopal Hospital Nominates Three for Nurse of Distinction Awards
Posted on May 28, 2015
FAR ROCKAWAY, NY (MAY 12, 2015) – An Emergency Department nurse, a critical care nurse educator, and a staff nurse with a special interest in HIV/AIDS were St. John's Episcopal Hospital's nominees for the annual Nurse of Distinction awards sponsored by the 1199/SEIU League of Voluntary Hospitals. All three nurses were nominated by their peers at St. John's and were honored at the Nurse of Distinction awards dinner on May 11 at the Marriott Brooklyn Bridge.
Alex Pascual, RN, of Valley Stream, the hospital's nominee for the Preceptor award, has practiced nursing for 22 years and leads a night-shift team on the hospital's very busy Emergency Department (ED). Mr. Pascual is described as "an excellent preceptor and mentor of both new nurses and senior nurses who transfer to the ED." He is known for having an "amazing level of determination," which helps ensure that every nurse under his guidance succeeds in his or her new role. As a preceptor, regularly emphasizes the "why" behind every clinical intervention.
Born, raised and educated in the Philippines, Mr. Pascual was recruited to St. John's in 2005 and relocated with his family to the United States during a nursing shortage. He says, "The ED is my passion because the patients presenting are in acute need of safe, timely and quality care."
Eumni Kim, BSN, M.Div, PhD, a resident of Hewlett, was the hospital's nominee for the Nurse Leader award. Although she joined St. John's only three years ago, Ms. Kim has already made a tremendous impact. A seasoned nurse with more than 40 years of experience as a clinician and educator, Ms. Kim is well-known among her peers for her vast knowledge base and ability to translate nursing theories and objectives into clinical practice. She currently serves as educator for the hospital's Emergency Department, Intensive Care, Coronary Care, and Telemetry Units.
Ms. Kim is also known as a consistent advocate for the hospital's nurses, providing encouragement to advance their education, become certified in their specialties and attend conferences to remain current on the latest best practices. At St. John's she also spearheaded a "New Grad to ED" program and assured cross-training of nurses who were displaced by closure of the hospital's Chemical Dependency Unit. Ms. Kim also participates in research, including the CLABSI(Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infection) initiative and sepsis campaigns with the Greater New York Hospital Association (GNYHA).
Latoya Maragh, BSN, RN, MSN, MPH, a resident of Springfield Gardens, was the hospital's nominee for the Nurse of Distinction Award. Ms. Maragh joined St. John's in 2008, following her graduation from Plattsburgh State University. A staff nurse on a medical-surgical unit, Ms. Maragh is deeply committed to improving public health and outreach to HIV-positive patients, an interest which led to an internship at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene as part of her studies toward an MSN/MPH degree at CUNY Hunter College.
Ms. Maragh was nominated in recognition of the genuine concern she has for her patients as well as her committed to promoting growth, competence and critical thinking among her colleagues at St. John's. She exemplifies the core values of the hospital – respect, professionalism, compassion, teamwork and responsibility.

What You Should Do Before And After Getting Dermal Fillers
Posted on: 13 October 2018
If you are about to get dermal fillers, then it is wise for you to know exactly how you should take care of yourself before and after the procedure. There are quite a few things you should bear in mind to ensure that your healing goes smoothly. Here is a look at the major precautions and steps you need to take to heal.
Prepare Your Skin
Moisturize your skin daily in the days leading up to the procedure. This will keep it supple and help you to avoid damage to your pores. Make sure that you religiously use sunscreen as well. Avoid alcohol as much as possible in the twenty-four hours prior to the procedure. This is because alcohol will thin your blood and cause you to bleed more than necessary during the procedure.
Eat Pineapples
Pineapple is one of the best fruits you can eat prior to getting dermal fillers. There is a substance called bromelain that prevents the skin from bruising. Pineapple is loaded with bromelain and that helps the blood to clot well before and after you get dermal fillers to prevent bruising.
After Treatment
There are certain precautions you should take after the procedure. Again, you will need to avoid alcohol for at least twenty-four hours after the surgery. You are likely to feel some pain and discomfort after the fillers are inserted. However, you should only take pain relievers that have been prescribed by your doctor. If you do take over-the-counter pain relievers, always make sure that they contain only acetaminophen. These types of pain relievers do not thin the blood. Pain killers such as aspirin are not good because they will thin your blood and cause bruising. There are also certain foods that should be avoided as they may also thin the blood.
The major ones to be avoided are:
- fish oil
- garlic
- green tea
- ginger
Swelling after the procedure is normal. You can use a cold compress to treat swelling in the affected areas. If you do not have a cold compress available, then you can apply an ice pack to the area to reduce swelling. Finally, make sure you limit your exposure to the sun after getting dermal fillers.
If you carefully follow the guidelines discussed, about what to do before and after getting dermal fillers, then you should be well on your way to a quick recovery. Once you are cautious about taking care of yourself and follow your doctor's orders you will undoubtedly like the result of the procedure.Share

Judge Rules PA 98-0599 Unconstitutional
A Sangamon County Circuit Court judge on November 21, 2014, ruled that Public Act 98-0599, the pension reform legislation signed by the governor in December 2013, is unconstitutional. IMRF was not included in the provisions of PA 98-0599 that alter benefits for current members and retirees of the state-funded systems. The Attorney General has announced that she will immediately appeal the Circuit Court's ruling to the Illinois Supreme Court.
