Parlophone R100 Series
The purple / dark blue R100 series started in June 1928 and continued throughout the vinyl 45rpm era into the age of the CD single. R3000 numbers that had been used in the earlier X/E/R-3000 series were repeated once the later series reached R3200 in June 1949, by which time the earlier issues had been long deleted.
78rpm records issued in 45rpm format were originally released in a MSP 6000 series, but this was abandoned, and from R 4198 in August 1956 records were issued in both formats in the R100 series. The 45rpm records had the catalogue number prefixed by "45-". R 4539 was the first issue as 45rpm only, and issues in both formats became less and less frequent, until the last dual format issue of R 4623 in January 1960.

Red winged Blackbird, Covey WMA
Common Grackle, Quabbin Park
Made another trip by Quabbin Park and Covey WMA. No real changes from the birds of yesterday but some nice looks at some of them nonetheless. The ice is ever so slowly leaving the reservoir and the Common Mergansers continue to take advantage. Hooded Mergansers and Wood Ducks continue to check out the various nest boxes. Red winged Blackbirds and Common Grackles are gathering nest material and Canada Geese and Common Ravens are all ready sitting on nests. Just the beginning of the many breeding birds to come.

Golf Carts – No Longer a "Cart for Old Men"
Whether you have a vast expanse of property out in the wilderness like the Robertson clan from 'Duck Dynasty' or just a healthy appetite for adventure, you can look no further than this classic motoring staple to fulfill either need. The golf cart is no longer synonymous with stodgy old men in retirement who play a round of golf because football is a death sentence. With innovations like lift kits for golf carts, it has been reinvented into a piece of machinery that can go off-roading with ease. Imagine having something so simple to operate while taking care of yard work, going for a jaunt in the countryside or just showing off to friends because, heck, your golf cart can now be qualified as badass. Hop on your golf cart and get moving!
Lift and Support
So what is a lift kit exactly? I'm glad you asked. A lift kit is an aftermarket modification that can be made to almost any golf cart which provides a convenient method to give extra height to your golf cart. This additional height now allows for a wider wheelbase and larger tires, which in turn allows your cart to handle rough terrain. Some of the features found in these lift kits are the extended drive axle, frame stiffener and suspension connection, which are all bolt-on pieces and require no welding. Simple to install, exceptional performance is the result.
Convenience and Luxury
Once you have your lift kit installed and an incredible looking cart, just add some golf cart mirrors to finish off the package. No longer do you need to strain your neck or awkwardly posture just to back out of the driveway. These side mirrors plus your ez go lift kits equal a truly pleasurable driving or off-roading experience. Can't afford your dream cart yet? There are now many sites that offer golf carts for rent while you save your pennies. Plan your next event with golf cart rental in mind – not only as a manual labor saver, but as additional entertainment for your guests as well! Once you have the perfect golf cart, maintaining it is a breeze. Golf cart parts and golf cart accessories for ez go brands are available at the touch of a button. Make your next hunting excursion, garden party or every day activities a gratifying experience for all involved – get on a golf cart.

By Tom Engelhardt
October 27, 2014
In 1964, a book entitled The Invisible Government shocked Americans with its revelations of a growing world of intelligence agencies playing fast and loose around the planet, a secret government lodged inside the one they knew that even the president didn't fully control. Almost half a century later, everything about that "invisible government" has grown vastly larger, more disturbing, and far more visible. In his new book, Tom Engelhardt takes in something new under the sun: what is no longer, as in the 1960s, a national security state, but a global security one, fighting secret wars that have turned the president into an assassin-in-chief. This is a powerful survey of a democracy of the wealthy that your grandparents wouldn't have recognized.
"In his regular, incisive, and often searing columns, Tom Engelhardt has uncovered layer after layer of deceit, fraud, and distortion to reveal to us harsh truths about power and its exercise that we must comprehend, and resist, and reverse, if there is to be any hope of decent survival. Shadow Government is essential reading."
—Noam Chomsky
"Tom Engelhardt is an iconoclast, but he also is the latest exemplar of a great American tradition. Like George Seldes and I. F. Stone before him, he has bypassed conventionally minded newspapers and magazines, and with his remarkable website and in books like this, found a way of addressing readers directly about the issues central to our time. Again and again, he goes to the heart of the matter, drawing on his awesomely wide reading, his knowledge of history, and his acute political radar system that uncovers small but deeply revealing nuggets of news and often makes me feel, enviously: how could I have missed that?"
—Adam Hochschild, author, King Leopold's Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror and Heroism in Colonial Africa
"This is a book about secrets and surveillance, but I'm here to tell you one secret its contents won't. For more than a dozen years, Tom Engelhardt and his website or blog or postnewspaper wire service Tomdispatch.comhave been one of the great forces on the side of clarity, democracy, openness, and really good writing. Tom himself, a legendary book editor, is also one of the country's most eloquent and tenacious political writers, electronically publishing three essays a week for all these years and writing many of them himself. This collection, focused on the new Orwellianism, is some of the finest writing and finest public service gathered together in book form for your portable pleasure and outrage."
—Rebecca Solnit, author, Men Explain Things to Me
"Tom Engelhardt's writing on the new forms of government surveillance is crucial because he has spent a lifetime studying the rise of the national security state. He can therefore put the contemporary practices of the National Security Agency and the destruction of the Fourth Amendment in the context of the rise of a twenty-first-century Leviathan that he has chronicled for us for decades. As we arrive a few decades late at Orwell's 1984, Tom Engelhardt is our anti-Winston Smith, writing the newspaper articles back into their original form and washing out the propaganda."
—Juan Cole, author of The New Arabs, runs the Informed Comment website
About the author: TOM ENGELHARDT created and runs the TomDispatch.com website, a project of the Nation Institute, where he is a fellow. He is the author of The American Way of War and The United States of Fear, both published by Haymarket Books, a highly praised history of American triumphalism in the cold war, The End of Victory Culture, and a novel, The Last Days of Publishing. Many of his TomDispatch interviews were collected in Mission Unaccomplished: TomDispatch Interviews with American Iconoclasts and Dissenters. With Nick Turse, he has written Terminator Planet: The First History of Drone Warfare, 2001–2050. He also edited The World According to TomDispatch: America in the New Age of Empire, a collection of pieces from his site that functions as an alternative history of the mad Bush years. TomDispatch is the sideline that ate his life. Before that he worked as an editor at Pacific News Service in the early 1970s, and, these last four decades as an editor in book publishing. For fifteen years, he was senior editor at Pantheon Books, where he edited and published award-winning works ranging from Art Spiegelman's Maus and John Dower's War Without Mercy to Eduardo Galeano's Memory of Fire trilogy. He is now Consulting Editor at Metropolitan Books, as well as the cofounder and coeditor of Metropolitan's the American Empire Project, where he has published bestselling works by Chalmers Johnson, Andrew Bacevich, Noam Chomsky, and Nick Turse, among others. Many of the authors whose books he has edited and published over the years now write for TomDispatch.com. For a number of years, he was also a Teaching Fellow at the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of California, Berkeley. He is married to Nancy J. Garrity, a therapist, and has two children, Maggie and Will, and a grandchild, Charlie.

Unable to get 6 bulb light bar fitting locally so took a gamble on the internet & very pleased with the product
6 Way Flexi Z Benton GU10 Spotlight Fitting Description
Far from being just another spotlight fitting, this Benton GU10 6-Way Flexi Z model from Mirrorstone is more of a lighting system, ideal for both domestic and commercial applications.
The black finish of its six modern, fully adjustable heads perfectly complements the chrome of its adaptable bar, as will this whole unit add a certain je ne sais quoi to any ceiling or wall on which it's installed.
Indeed, this model's incredible flexibility is such that you'll be able to alter both the bar and the heads to create some visually stunning feature or accent lighting in your home, showroom or retail outlet.
EasiLight: A World Of Colour In Your Hands
Add some colour to your room with our exclusive EasiLight RGB bulbs. Compatible with selected fittings, simply pop in the bulb and control using a remote – gone are the days of switches.
Innovate your home with this smart technology and control your lighting from the push of a button. This intelligent range can emit up to 16 million colours using Wi-Fi, dim or brighten to your chosen aesthetic and can even be paired with your Amazon Alexa smart-home device. Still with the low cost, tough durability and long life-span of LEDs, have the added bonus of wowing your guests with this truly unique and mesmerising lighting.
Connect your bulb with Wi-Fi Bridge Box to control the speed, brightness and other bulb functions via your smartphone, or opt for a 4 Zone Wallplate when you have multiple bulbs to control. Don't forget to purchase your Remote Holder to ensure it never escapes. For more options, simply search 'Easilight' in our search bar for the entire range!
Please note that when purchasing the RGB bulbs with this fitting, you will need a minimum of one remote to control your bulbs. So, if you're purchasing a single fitting, you will need to pick the option with remote, whereas if you're purchasing multiple fittings, only one of them needs to be purchased with a remote.
Variety Inc.
Should the design aesthetic of this Benton 6-way GU10 spotlight fitting not be to your taste, we also have a wide variety of other spotlight fittings on offer.
Yes, we can cater for all your spotlighting requirements as there are singles and triples which are both incredibly popular, with many different styles like the slightly retro Laurel.
The 4-way quads will give you yet more options, with the innovatively designed Hornet being all the rage right now. There's another 6-way flexi Z model in the shape of the sci-fi looking Eyeball, and in the 8-way range, you have to check out the Consul!
Savings And Investments
For your convenience, you can choose to include the GU10 LED spotlight bulbs as part of this package, and bear in mind that purchases in excess of £40.00 will be shipped completely free of charge.
You'll save even more money on selected LED lighting products when you apply the current promotional code at the checkout. Yes, there's between 10 and 20% discount to be had, so get applying!
To gain the maximum amount of discount through our heavily discounted wholesale prices, simply set up an online account, become a trade customer and you're away!
The GU10 LED bulbs themselves will help you save a great deal of money when you replace your current lighting sources with them.
Whilst LED lights are slightly more costly to begin with, you'll definitely start to see a return on your investment within 12 months of switching to them in your home or business premises.
Due to the fact that bulbs like the bestselling 80 SMD LED GU10 require a mere 3.3W to produce exactly the same 400 Lumens of brightness as a traditional 50W Halogen bulb, they require 15 times less electricity, which means money in your pocket and not the utility company's!
You'll be able to forget about changing your GU10 spotlight for a very long time as well because, given an average of 8 hours a day, they're expected to achieve an enormous 10 year life-span, outlasting incandescent bulbs many, many times over!
Tailor Your Ambience
When you choose a dimmable GU10 like the 6W LED 27 SMD we're talking even more savings, because when they're used in conjunction with a trailing edge dimmer, you'll have the ability to precisely control the amount of light at your disposal, thus avoiding any waste.
When chosen to complement the colour temperature of these GU10 spotlight bulbs, the dimming feature will allow you to tailor your room's ambience according to its function.
For living spaces like the bedroom, you may wish to employ the dimmable warm white (3000K) bulb, whereas functional rooms such as the kitchen probably won't require dimming, and their function may be better suited to the more clinical light of the cool white (6000K).
Green Credentials
LED lights are generally much more ecologically sound than their traditional counterparts.
Apart from their longevity, they're also manufactured from fully recyclable materials, reducing the likelihood of their ending their life as part of a landfill site.
Unlike halogen bulbs, LEDs contain no environmentally harmful Mercury and they don't emit the health-damaging UV Rays that are known to promote premature aging and certain categories of skin cancer.
LEDs run in complete silence so they won't cause headaches, and their light is constant not flickering like that of fluorescents, so no eye-strain either!
Hassle-Free Returns
Sometimes buying on the internet can be troublesome and you might not always receive exactly the item you expected. If this occurs with one of our GU10 spotlight fittings, just give us a call and as long as it's within 14 days of your purchase, we'll ask you to return it and offer you a refund or a replacement.
Please not that as this Benton 6 Way Flexi Z GU10 Spotlight Fitting is a special order item, you'll be charged a 15% restocking fee in the event of a return, so it's a good idea to be sure it's the one you're after before you complete your purchase.
When you purchase this Benton GU10 Spotlight Fitting you're fully protected for 12 months by the manufacturer's money-back guarantee.

WASHINGTON — Pakistan abruptly freed the CIA contractor who shot and killed two men in a gunfight in Lahore after a deal was sealed Wednesday to pay $2.34 million in "blood money" to the men's families. The agreement, nearly seven weeks after the shootings, ended a tense showdown with a vital U.S. ally that had threatened to disrupt the war on terrorism.
In what appeared to be a carefully choreographed conclusion to the diplomatic crisis, a U.S. official said Pakistan had paid the families whose pardoning of Raymond Davis set the stage for his release. That arrangement allowed Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to assert in a news conference the U.S. didn't pay compensation.
But the U.S. government "expects to receive a bill at some point," said the official, who spoke only on condition of anonymity because the situation was so sensitive. The payments to families in Pakistan are roughly 400 times as high as the U.S. has paid to families of many civilians wrongfully killed by U.S. soldiers in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Under negotiations to free Davis, the U.S. Embassy in Lahore said the Justice Department had opened an investigation into the Jan. 27 shootings. In a statement, the embassy thanked the families for their generosity in pardoning Davis but did not mention any money changing hands.
The deal to secure Davis' release had been in the works for some time, with the most intense negotiations over the past three weeks, another U.S. official told The Associated Press.
The arrangement deliberately bypassed the question of whether Davis was immune from prosecution because of diplomatic status, the official said. That had been a central legal issue in the case, but by negotiating Davis' release under Islamic sharia law the issue could be resolved outside the jurisdiction of the police and court system that arrested and held him on suspicion of murder.
Davis, 36, left the country immediately for Kabul in neighboring Afghanistan, where he was expected to be debriefed extensively about his time in custody, Pakistani and U.S. officials said.
In the U.S., an elated Rebecca Davis learned of her husband's release in a phone call at 6:30 a.m. She never blinked, she said, always believing her husband would be set free.
"I knew. I just didn't know how long," she said, speaking outside her home near Denver. "I just knew in my gut that he'd be home."
The killings and then the detention of Davis triggered a fresh wave of anti-American sentiment in Pakistan and tested the sometimes shaky alliance that is seen as key to defeating al-Qaida and ending the war in Afghanistan.

In the ever-changing world of ecommerce, you have to stay on top of news if you want to be ahead of the game.
We're well aware this is easier said than done. Trawling through news sources every morning, when you have a million and one other things to do, can eat away at time and energy that you just don't have.
That's why we've introduced a Friday News Bulletin. At the end of every week, we'll throw on a fedora, slip into a trench and whip out the Ometrian magnifying (smart)glass ready to collect all of the top industry headlines into one, succinct blog post.
Coffee brewed and reading glasses on? Here are this week's top stories.
Tweet us your favourite stories @OmetriaData
1) Google introduces shopping ads on image search
In the last year alone, mobile shopping searches on Google have risen by 30%. According to Google's AdWords blog, those who search and shop on their mobiles at least once a week say that product images are the shopping feature they turn to most. The most popular questions users of Google Image ask are: "What's the price of this" and "Where can I buy it?". It is for this reason that the tech giant has announced it is introducing Shopping ads - or product listing ads - on image search. What does this mean for e-tailers, exactly? It means your ads "for related products will appear as shoppers browse Google Images".
How are brands responding so far? Positively, apparently. Yelena Aschberger, Vice President of Digital Communication, PR & Events at Swarovski CGB, said: "...We're thrilled to be able to leverage Google's newest formats, particularly Shopping ads on image search which will allow us to engage shoppers and inspire them to desire our brand as they're browsing and discovering products in our categories."

2) Almost half of all ecommerce transactions in Q1 2016 on phones or tablets
Research from tech company Criteo has revealed that 48.9% of ecommerce transactions in the first three months of 2016 were on mobile phones or tablets. This compares to 43% during the same period last year.
Apple devices have been the most popular medium for ecommerce transactions, with the iPhone making up 39% of all transactions on mobile devices.
The research also showed that, today, 39% of all transactions involve more than one device on the path from browsing to purchasing.

3) Are free returns having a negative impact on ecommerce?
Elsewhere in the ecommerce world, a miniature storm is brewing over research suggesting free returns could thwart ecommerce success in the UK.
The research, which comes from Barclaycard, suggests that free return policies might be "damaging profits for many British online businesses".
According to Barclaycard, over 50% of retailers have said that looking after the "day-to-day cost of dealing with returns" is having a negative impact on their business. Moreover, one in five said they have increased prices in a bid to cancel out the cost of returns. Oh dear.

4) Introducing the Google Assistant
Ready for more Google news? Good, because it just keeps coming.
Google is "pleased to introduce" the Google assistant, which it describes on its blog as "an ongoing two-way dialogue between you and Google that understands your world and helps you get things gone". Promising, no?
Described as "a Google for you, by you", Google claims its assistant will be able to help you with a myriad of things - from making it easier to purchase film tickets whilst on the go to finding a good place to eat before the curtains part and adverts begin.

5) Mobile outperforms desktop for PPC search clicks in America
Calling all adwords/PPC marketers! Are you optimising for mobile? Well, you should, because according to Smart Insights it makes up over half of clicks in the US.
The below graph from Marketing Charts shows that, in the first quarter of 2016, tablet and mobile combined made up 53% of paid search clicks, compared to just 25% in 2013.

It's one thing to hide away your clutter. But why should you have to hide the storage, too? Small storage that's as stylish as it is functional can easily share shelf space with your favourite things. So you can display the things you're proud of (while making sure those old school photos stay safely out of sight).
The sports equipments taking a big space, unused blankets, clothes and shoes, new year garlands ready to be used in December, gardening tools... There's one way to overcome this mess in a fast and easy way: the SAMLA boxes with different sizes.
The KVARNVIK box storage makes a great home for everything, from clothes or shoes to paper and desk accessories. Made with 80% recycled paper, the boxes are covered in interlaced paper string and have a check pattern on the inside for a little extra style.
The hat and coat stands with castors help you keep your clothes organized even in the smallest of spaces even if you need to move them around. Offering the basics you need for sorting and storing, the coat stands stand by with your clothers and accessories ready for you.

The Hold Steady is a Brooklyn-based rock band. Four of its five members have lived in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area, and their Twin Cities roots are frequently reflected in the band's lyrics. The band's style has been described as a "riff-heavy mixture of classic rock," notable for its "lyrically dense storytelling."
The band has released four albums: Almost Killed Me (2004), Separation Sunday (2005), Boys and Girls in America (2006), and Stay Positive (2008). Stay Positive will be released on July 14, 2008 on Rough Trade Records and on July 15, 2008 on Vagrant Records.
Lead guitarist Tad Kubler and frontman Craig Finn (both formerly of the band Lifter Puller) first had the idea to form The Hold Steady when sitting at home watching The Last Waltz. Finn asked Kubler, "Dude, why aren't there any bands like this anymore? Let's do this from now on."
The band's 2004 debut album Almost Killed Me, released on Frenchkiss Records, was a sleeper hit among music critics, reaching #31 in the Pazz & Jop critics poll that year, an achievement which Finn described as "like being nominated for an Oscar or something." In May 2005, they were the first rock band to grace the front page of The Village Voice in 15 years. The band was Blender's 2006 Band of the Year.
The band released its second album, Separation Sunday, on May 3, 2005. The album was a loose concept album following the exploits of a character named "Holly" (short for "Hallelujah") and her quest to find a balance between Catholicism and rock and roll through drugs and a metaphorical resurrection. The album was critically lauded, and its religious overtones were picked up by many critics, such as the Village Voice, who dubbed it "the most egregiously American Catholic album since X's Under the Big Black Sun, Springsteen's Tunnel of Love, or that Jewish new waver Billy Joel's The Stranger."
After Separation Sunday, for its third album the band moved from the Frenchkiss Records imprint to Vagrant Records. Released October 3, 2006, Boys and Girls in America was ranked #8 on the Rolling Stone Best Albums of 2006 list, and first by The A.V. Club. Pitchfork Media's Scott Plagenhoff wrote of the album, "[Craig Finn] not only has a commanding, rousing voice but he also says something worth hearing, displaying gifts for both scope and depth that are all too rare in contemporary rock — indie or mainstream."
The band recorded a modified version of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" to be played during the seventh-inning stretch at Minnesota Twins home games during the 2007 season.
The band's album Stay Positive will be released on July 14, 2008. The album was recorded in Hoboken, New Jersey, and Wild Arctic studio in Queens, New York, with producer John Agnello. Guests on the sessions included Ben Nichols from Lucero and Doug Gillard, who spent some time playing guitar in Guided By Voices. Finn has said that he believes the album "captures a band hitting their creative peak, as well as enjoying each other's creativity and company." According to Rolling Stone the band's latest album is more expansive than previous releases, including talk-box solos, harpsichord and tuneful vocals (the notoriously gruff-voiced Finn started taking voice lessons). "There are some bands that do five records that all sound similar," says guitarist Tad Kubler. "We've tried to avoid that."
In interview with Pitchfork Media, Craig Finn outlined the band's influences, which range from classic rock to folk to hip-hop:
Growing up in Minneapolis, Hüsker Dü was a huge band. I always thought Grant Hart was the better songwriter, and his lyrics were very specific. Bob Mould kind of favored vague lyrics. But as far as detail-oriented songwriters, more contemporary… certainly Bruce Springsteen, Jim Carroll, John Darnielle from The Mountain Goats. A lot of hip-hop really inspires me. My absolute favorite stuff is Brother Ali from Rhymesayers. Atmosphere, obviously. Things like Aesop Rock, Sage Francis, Murs, all those guys. Even Jay-Z. Hip-hop is so much about lyrics, and as a lyricist it's hard not to be inspired by it.
Songs in other media

The AIU organization in Europe exhibits a corporate culture that is fit to what obtains with the European. In the organization's bid to expand its network of operation to South Africa, there is need for it to adequately study the national culture and pattern of marketing in the African country. Thus, it could be able to integrate its already adopted corporate culture with the pattern of culture in South Africa, The marketing strategy introduced into its operation in European country has to be introduced to suit the cultural practice in South Africa if the organization intend keeping to its adapted corporate culture.
The best essay writers are ready to impress your teacher.
Make an order now!
Hence, if the organization wants to stick to its corporate culture it is exhibiting in Europe it is bound to fail. There is the need to carry out a thorough research and analysis on the culture existing within a country where the organization intends to expand its operation. In this view, Oden (1997:3), argues that "many of today's most successful organizations continue to survive because many years ago they offered the right product at the right time. Most product, market, and process venture decisions of the past were made without the benefit of strategic thinking or planning.
However, present-day managers increasingly recognize that venture decisions must be made in the context of a venture strategy. As they find themselves in ever more complex and turbulent environments, their past internally oriented, reactive approach to decision making is giving way to an externally oriented proactive approach that requires more analysis". The need for AIU to analyze both its internal and external environments is a needed strategic framework for the organization to thrive in international corporate venture and strategy.
Hence, this long-range strategic and proactive orientation to decision making is an important element of the innovation culture (ibid). The need for an organization to adapt to the culture in the environment where it operates goes a long way to show how successful it would be. The strategy in place should take into cognizance those cultural variables that would blend with the environment and people's life style and taste. This is where the management of AIU International has missed the mark.
There is the intention to transfer the AIU European culture to countries that has no cultural similarities; such as South Africa Israel, Australia, Japan, and Canada. In countries that are in the European continent, they tend to share the same cultural background. Thus, little effort needs to be put in place in these countries unlike in countries that operates very different culture and pattern of transmitting marketing and business transactions. To buttress this argument Ulijn et al (2000), illustrated that, "when a multinational firm, such as Philips, operates in the United States, it is accepted almost as a U.
S. firm since it is loosely related to the individualistic U. S. society where interaction is explicit, low context, and monochromic. On the other hand, to be successful in Japan, Philips should behaves as a Japanese firm, where national culture and corporate culture overlap in a tight, collectivistic society where interaction is implicit, high context, and polychromic". The above illustration shows that every country has its own cultural characteristics and variables that would compact with the environment in which business operation is done.
In addition, there is the consideration that needs to be made on regulations and rules emanating from government. Different countries governments have their regulations and rules on how business is to operate in their country. Thus, as AIU expands its fast food business base to South Africa, it needs to put into consideration on how to make sure that this regulation does not hamper its move to franchise its business in Africa. National culture is a great reckoning force, which the AIU organizations need to greatly imbibed in. The need on maintaining the European culture should be deemphasized, in its bid to operate in South Africa.
To make this national corporate culture to be retain and be in conformity with the cultural pattern of the South African, every new staff should be adequately orientated on the existing cultures they are recruited. , and it is expected they keep to this culture. As the organization's activities are built round the national culture, this is reflected in the management style, relationship between staff and management, selection of partners. Corporate identity is an important factor to enable an organization competes favorably in an industry.
"Based on this notion the effective management of an organization's identity result in the acquisition of a favorable corporate image and, over time, of a favorable corporate reputation which leads an organization's key stakeholders and stakeholder groups to be favorably disposed towards it" (Balmer & Wilson, 1998). According to Balmer (1997), cited in Balmer & Wilson (1998), an important pre-requisite for a corporate reputation to contribute to business survival and success is that it offers a distinct advantage in relation to the organization's external environment".

We are delighted to share with you a podcast with Lucy Good from Beanstalk Mums and our family law specialist Vanessa Hernandez. They talk about co-parenting at Christmas and how to be prepared….
This is one for the co-parents amongst us. It's all about that happy, merry, family time we call Christmas.
Yes, what was once a day to be welcomed and enjoyed can sadly turn into one of the hardest days of the year for some co-parenting families. And what makes it harder, is that we have to contest with all the stereotypical 'happy family' commercials which bombard our lives. All this happens whilst we are trying to create something for our children that resembles 'peace on earth'.
Not. Easy.
Yet there are ways to prepare, and I've brought in my go-to lady and fountain of family law knowledge, Vanessa Hernandez from BT Lawyers. She has heaps of advice, both practical and emotional, to help you make it to Boxing Day with your jingling bells all intact.
In this tip-filled podcast we talk about:
- The most common struggles for co-parents at Christmas and how to prepare for them
- When is it too late to change a parenting plan/court order in time for Christmas
- What to do if your ex-partner lets you down on the big day
- How much we should involve our children in decisions about Christmas
- How to prepare emotionally, and actually enjoy the day ourselves
Oh and if anyone knows how to stop an iPhone ringing through a Mac when the phone is turned OFF, please feel free to share. My apologies for the tiny interruption.

Manage Assets for Smooth Operations
Posted on Monday, October 08, 2018 Share
As manufacturers look for every opportunity to cut costs, one important area to address is equipment downtime. A breakdown, even for just an hour, reverberates through the manufacturing process.
Beyond the operational savings and productivity gains from asset management, a well-planned system also guides life cycle decisions, such as whether to repeatedly repair a piece of equipment, overhaul it or replace it. You'll have solid evidence in terms of the equipment's performance and repair history, and you can develop a procurement strategy based on data and an analysis of products, suppliers and the marketplace.
It can slow or halt production, leave employees idle and play havoc with just-in-time delivery schedules.
If you're like some manufacturers, your approach to equipment maintenance and repairs is reactive: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." In contrast, top manufacturers use enterprise asset management and perform predictive maintenance 70 percent of the time on average. In return, they average 96 percent machine availability.
Basic asset management involves electronic gathering and interpreting of data for the purpose of keeping plants humming. It includes making an inventory of all property and equipment, monitoring its use, logging and analyzing maintenance and repairs, setting up maintenance schedules to prevent breakdowns, forecasting when to replace parts and keeping contracts, warranties and service agreements.
Having a sound asset management system is like having a crystal ball. You'll know a machine's performance well enough to predict when to schedule maintenance. By doing so, you can prevent a breakdown or detect signs that parts are wearing out before they actually go.
Unfortunately, that crystal ball has been out of reach for many manufacturers, primarily due to the heavy initial investment of capital and labor required. Another deterrent has been the difficulty of building an integrated system out of a smorgasbord of specialized software products from multiple providers. It is nearly impossible to find a provider that offers a total package.
Here's how one plant cut dependence on equipment redundancies:
By shutting down some redundant equipment, downtime dropped to 90 hours a quarter from 400 hours. Downtime that affected manufacturing dropped to two hours a quarter from 30 hours. In addition, the ratio of unscheduled to scheduled repairs has been reversed. Whereas unscheduled work once comprised 80 percent of all work orders, it now comprises less than 13 percent.
These issues are being addressed by software manufacturers, which should make asset management more accessible. For example, at least one vendor of plant automation software is offering modular, scalable systems so that you can begin modestly by monitoring one critical piece of equipment and add modules as your budget allows. In addition, the system is based on an open standard, which gives you flexibility to add compatible products from other software providers.

Exquisite classic and vintage cars were unveiled at the 2nd annual Cobble Beach Concours d'Elegance on Sunday, September 14th. The 18th fairway at Cobble Beach Resort near Owen Sound, Ontario glistened like eye candy for the 5,000 refined car enthusiasts who had the opportunity to chit-chat with the owners and take selfies with their favourite cars.
Judging started early on the show field, which overlooks Georgian Bay, where close to 150 rarely seen luxury cars spanning the past century, in 22 classes, from Museum to Muscle were on public display in the exclusive, by-invitation-only auto show. (Elite cars are selected to participate.) The origins of the Concours date back to 17th century French high society, when the Competition of Elegance began with horse-drawn carriages strolling through the pristine parks of Paris.
Speed forward to the 21st century, the VIP Porter package provided roundtrip transportation from Toronto's Billy Bishop Airport via a chartered flight to Wiarton Airport in Wiarton, Ontario. This was followed by a scenic 10-minute drive by coach to the Cobble Beach Resort in the hamlet of Kemble.
"The cars this year are even better than last year, which I thought was going to be hard to do," says Robert McLeese, owner of Cobble Beach Golf Resort and founder/chair of the prestigious Concours. "Our American friends have been very supportive, and we have some phenomenal cars, including our Museum class and Micro class. We have some really special vehicles, including a 1963 Mustang. It was a prototype, the #2 Mustang. We have the 1867 Seth Taylor (first car in Canada), which came out of the Canadian Science and Technology Museum, and we have a Delahaye from Colorado, a 135 that is a really beautiful car. Not to mention the Packards, the Cadillacs, and the micro cars, the racecars, and it just keeps going on."
48 celebrity judges representing 15 states and five provinces selected three winners in each class, based on authenticity and quality workmanship, proper fit and finish of vehicle components, and interpretation of elegance and presence of the vehicle. 13 other awards were handed out, including Margaret Dunning Spirit of Driving and The Willis S. McLeese International Museum Award. Chief Judge John Carlson, National President, CEO, and Chief Judge of the National Association of Automobile Clubs of Canada, says "The overall theme for this show is to have fun and enjoy some of the finest cars and scenery North America has to offer."
Best of Show and People's Choice went to the bold and sleek 1936 Delahaye Type 135, one of three remaining Figoni short-chassis coupes. Other winners include the 1904 Oldsmobile Model T French Front in the Antique Pre 1916 class, and the 1970 Ferrari 246 GT M Series Dino Coupe in the Sports Cars European to 1973 class.
Porsche Canada, an event sponsor, offered test drives of its new 911 models.
Proceeds raised by the event go to the Sunnybrook Hospital Foundation to fund a rooftop helipad for the Toronto hospital. "Our inaugural year raised over $50,000 for the Sunnybrook Foundation," says McLeese. "We are committed to giving our very best to support this important cause dear to our hearts and community. The Sunnybrook Helipad will directly affect County of Grey residents by providing trauma cases faster access to medical support, ultimately saving lives."
Winning raffle tickets included a two-night stay at Cobble Beach with golf or spa, and a grand prize 10kt white gold, blue and white diamond cluster ring from D.C Taylor Jewellers.
The 3rd annual Concours d'Elegance is set for September 12-13, 2015.

Katie Sayer's The C-Bomb, playing at the BT studio, showcases new writing at its very best. Fresh, playful and above all funny, it captures the follies and foibles of our modern age.
The subject matter is undeniably unusual. Chloe (played with verve by Alma Prelec) has a problem. And that problem is suspected chlamydia. Impulsive and flamboyant, she decides to throw a party for her past flings, hoping to take each one of them aside, warn them of the risks and urge them to get tested. But life, of course, is rarely as neat as fiction and the episode of Midsomer Murders, which the characters long to watch, amusingly remains firmly in the background as Chloe's own personal drama takes centre stage.
We are sucked in from the very moment we find our seats. Serenaded by the familiar strains of 'Boogie Wonderland' and wonderfully corny selections from ABBA (all hand-picked by sound designer, William Hayman), we are immediately immersed in Chloe's world of club nights, kettle chips and cheap vino. Before the play has even begun, we know we are going to heed Chloe's wise advice of always "watching things for young people". Sayer's script sparkles with witty in-jokes and well-handled nods to everyday Oxford life. From sly references to Toto's 'Africa' and subject drinks, to jokes about Immanuel Kant and a humorous account of a romantic encounter at the tragically dull Economics Foundation, there is something here for everyone.
And the actors largely bring their roles to life, often finding a richness and humanity in characters who could all too easily be played as little more than the physical embodiment of recognisable stereotypes. Showcasing her directorial flair, Agnes Pethers transforms the stage into a tableau of modern life. As each past boyfriend enters through the bead curtain to join the assembling group in the sitting room, the composition becomes increasingly complete. If Dave (Jake Rich) is an earnest and priggish high achiever and Jonny is a quinoa-munching vegan millennial, then Russell (Flinn Andreas) is a wild party-lover; if Albert (Albert McIntosh) is the socially conservative right-wing son of an aristocrat, then Jack is a straight-talking sporty everyman. Each modern character archetype is represented. And yet the protagonists nevertheless feel fleshed out and whole due to the commitment of the actors, who strike a balance between emotional authenticity and playing for laughs. The only exception is Harold, the pensioner (Aryan Coram), who feels unjustly overlooked. Appearing only briefly to deliver the odd line, he is not quite given the space to come to grips with the role, which is a missed opportunity in a play otherwise filled with deeply memorable characters.
But The C-Bomb's greatest strength lies in its brilliant self-awareness. Chloe, after all, orchestrates her own drama. Taking each past boyfriend aside, she repeatedly rehearses and refines her confession, masterfully creating her own tension and suspense. And this meta-theatre is not just entertaining, it is also pleasingly thought-provoking. When Jonny dubs the play, "a fascinating tale of friendship, betrayal, secrecy and microbes", and Kat (played with flair by Phoebe Griffith) tells us that the story "can be summarised in ten seconds", we are left with the impression that the beauty of theatre lies in its very artificiality. Drama takes well-established truths and reenergises them, as Sayer demonstrates with moving simplicity when she concludes the play with the clear message that we should all just "be nice to each other". What better lesson could theatre teach us in our fraught modern times?
A witty, brilliantly self-conscious examination of the way we live now, "The C-Bomb" is a thrilling piece of new writing. Slickly produced by Eve Stollery, packed with laughs, it provides the perfect antidote for those mid-term blues.

The Woman Before Me - Ruth Dugdall
Reading Challenge Category: Kindle Unlimited.
Official Blurb:
They came for me, just like I knew they would. Luke had been dead for just three days. Rose Wilks' life is shattered when her newborn baby Joel is admitted to intensive care. Emma Hatcher has all that Rose lacks. Beauty. A loving husband. A healthy son. Until tragedy strikes and Rose is the only suspect. Now, having spent nearly five years in prison in Ipswich, Rose is just weeks away from freedom. Her probation officer Cate must decide whether Rose is remorseful for her crime, or whether she remains a threat to society. As Cate is drawn in, she begins to doubt her own judgement. Where is the line between love and obsession, can justice be served and, if so... by what means?
My Thoughts:
Wow, this book had me hooked from the start as you knew it wasn't going to be a plain and straightforward story. It was just so heartbreaking as Rose had such a turbulent and sorry life but had she done what she was accused of? Had she snapped and wanted to punish Emma? Was she merely deranged and depressed enough after losing her own son to have killed another little boy? Or did you believe her pleas of innocence? It was really hard, especially as the story unfolds and you learn more and more of the events leading up to the fateful night. The book is almost in three parts; it has the vein of life in the prison and the run-up to the parole hearing. Then there is what happened to Luke, but there is also Rose's past which starts right back to her childhood but loops around to join the history of what happened to Luke. It's very cleverly written as you wonder at first what the relevance her childhood has, but it's all part of the storytelling. There is also the introduction to Cate Austin, although I have read two books where she has featured, so it was nice for me to get her 'origin' story if you like. It was strange to see her so unsure of herself as she is so much stronger in the later books! It true Dugdall style the book ends very abruptly once you know the ending, there is no rambling on, it just stops. So in this updated version, I really liked the afterward that told us, the readers how the story came to be and how she struggled to establish herself as an author. It made me feel even more connected to the book and even happier that I could be a part of her journey and more importantly, that I absolutely loved this book!

"LSD (World Sheet Of Closed String Mix)" as written by and Alan Lawlor....
'I believe with the advent of acid. We discovered new ways to think and it has to do with piecing together new thoughts of mind. Why is it that people are so afraid of it? What is it about it that scares people so deeply? Because they are afraid that there is more to reality than they have ever confronted. That there are doors that they are afraid to go in and they don't want us to go in there either because if we go in, there we might learn something that they don't know. And that makes us a little out of their control.'

Cannabidiol Kills Numerous Types Of Breast Cancer
A recent study(¹) corroborated previously published findings(²) from 2011, showing that Cannabidiol (CBD) – the non-psychoactive compound in cannabis – targets and kills breast cancer without harming healthy cells!
The two, separate studies sought to determine whether CBD would be useful in fighting numerous types of breast cancer including the more aggressive MDA-MB-231 (triple-negative) and SK-BR-3 (HER2), as well as the less aggressive, hormone-influenced MCF-7 and ZR-75-1 (estrogen-receptor positive).
Both studies confirmed that this beneficial cannabis compound kills multiple types of breast cancer cells, prevents the breast cancer from spreading, and also helps to increase the effectiveness of traditional chemotherapy drugs.
How CBD Kills Breast Cancer
CBD prevents and reverses breast cancer in a multitude of ways, some of which I've detailed below:
CBD binds to and increases PPARƴ function
PPARƴ is a protein which prevents cancer cells from spreading, prevents tumors from growing larger, and initiates automatic cell death (known as apoptosis).
CBD impedes the functions of mTOR
mTOR is an oncogene that works against your immune system's natural defenses, to keep cancer cells alive.
CBD reduces AKT signaling
AKT is a pathway in your body that allows cancer cells to grow and spread and builds your body's resistance to chemotherapy drugs.
CBD inhibits cyclin D1 in aging cells
Cyclin D1 is a protein found in all human tissue which regulates cell cycles. When cyclin D1 is switched on in old cells (known as overexpression of genes) it prevents cell death and allows damaged, cancer cells to grow.
CBD promotes autophagy
Autophagy is the process by which your body maintains healthy cells. Autophagy assists stressed cells in returning to normal. This process also kills cells that are dangerous and damaged, such as cancerous cells.
Where To Buy CBD Products
Although I'm sure there are many reputable sources for CBD products, I personally buy my CBD drops from Alive Market.
You can read about all of the ways in which Alive Market CBD products are superior by clicking here and here but I prefer their products because:
- All Alive Market CBD products are non-GMO and organically-grown with zero pesticides.
- Alive Market products are grown in the United States, in Colorado.
- Alive Market does not till the soil, so the roots are not disturbed. This results in a better end product and also allows for natural decomposition of the previous plant, so the soil is more nutrient-dense.
- Alive Market CBD is what is known as a full-spectrum CBD product, meaning that it contains the entire plant and all of the 113 disease-killing cannabinoids found in hemp. Many other manufacturers tend to isolate and extract the CBD, removing important co-factors and vitamins that aid in the medicinal benefits of the hemp plant.
Right now Alive Market is running a Buy One, Get One 50% Off special, if you use the following code at checkout: B1G1

An English Villa?December 3, 2008
Yeah, and this is a website about real estate!
What we are talking about here is what could well be one of the biggest, and certainly one of the most exciting transfers to take place this season. We will now focus our attention onto the top scorer at Euro 2008. David Villa!
It has been known that Valencia have been suffering from a credit crisis for a while, and it has also been known that they probably looked to sell their star studded Spaniard striker David Villa in the hope of reducing their debt. What we have here is a piece of tasteful news that he might just be headed the Premier League way!
The Spanish press have said that Valencia has to cough up over 50 million Euros by the end of this month, to avoid bankruptcy. The club has turned to the banks to get a load, but their icy relationship with the moneylenders is almost certain to lead to the disposal of some of their stars.
Tottenham, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, as well as Manchester City (with City and Chelsea leading in the race) are rumoured to have shown an interest in the forward who turns 27 today.? Personally, I would like to see the Torres-Villa combination at Anfield light up the Premier League. That apart, imagine the consequences if Villa is on a move to either Stamford Bridge, or to Eastlands. Chelsea might consider offloading Drogba for Villa, and if not, might just lap up Robinho if they don?t get the winning bid on the Spaniard. This piece of news just about turns my transfer market expectations upside down. Whether this will actually materialise or not is something that neither you, nor I can foresee. But this is a juicy piece of news indeed!

(CENTER VALLEY, Pa.) – The Carnegie Mellon University women's cross country team ran to a third-place finish at the NCAA Mideast Regional Championships hosted by DeSales University this Saturday. Following two top-ten nationally ranked teams, Johns Hopkins University and Dickinson College, the women finished more than 100 points ahead of fourth place, Haverford College.
"Both teams ran really well today," said Carnegie Mellon head coach Tim Connelly, "They went out with the intent to compete for what they knew they could and finished well because of that expectation." For the second consecutive year, three Tartans reached All-Region status, placing in the top-35.
"We're very happy to have made it to NCAAs as individuals, but we would be even more excited to have our team joining us with a potential at-large bid," said junior Kate Reilly (Scranton, Pa. / Scranton Prep) who led the Tartans. Reilly finished ninth overall in a time of 23:07. "Our goal was to work together at the front of the race, and we definitely achieved that today," said sophomore Parvathi Meyyappan (Cupertino, Calif. / Monta Vista) who finished just five seconds behind Reilly in 11th at 23:12. Junior Abigail Levine (Bethesda, Md. / Bethesda Chevy Chase) closed out the pack of Tartans finishing 14th overall in 23:20.
Junior Emmalyn Lindsey (Eugene, Ore. / South Eugene) finished fourth for the Tartans after returning from a recent injury finishing in 43rd in a time of 24:15. "I'm happy to be out there after not training fully in the past few weeks, but overall I think the team performed very well today," said Lindsey. Fellow junior Valerie Collins (Wellesley, Mass. / Wellesley) who was fifth for the Tartans ran to a 60th-place finish in a time of 24:36.
Finishing sixth and seventh for the Tartans, seniors Wade Lacey (Albany, N.Y., The Albany Academies) and Rose Ciriello (Madison, N.J., Madison) placed 118th and 124th overall in times of 25:32 and 25:38, respectively.
Reilly, Meyyappan and Levine are individual qualifiers for the NCAA Championships. Results of USTFCCCA at-large team bid decisions will determine if the women's team will compete at the NCAA Championships next weekend. The University of Wisconsin – Oshkosh will host the DIII NCAA Championships in Oshkosh, Wisconsin next Saturday, November 17.
