Distributors wanted to resell the (Redeemed & Winners Chapel) church customized flags and Car stickers Are you looking for a business that you could start little capital and earn at least N500k monthly? Look no further! Let me introduce you to the business of selling/supplying Redeemed & Winner Chapels churches' promotional customized flags and car stickers. We produced and stocked the customized car sticker & flags for these two churches because of their membership size and market potential. However we can also produce for other churches based on special request and order. Car Sticker The car stickers are designed with Redeemed & Winners Chapels church logo, and they are usually pasted at the back of the cars to promote the image of the churches. The stickers are usually water proof and they gum firmly to the cars.

They could also be placed on top of tables in offices and homes The Distributors Price -------N100/pc The Retail unit price………..N200 Church/ Reseller/Marketers' price ----N150 Market potentials The market potential for the Redeemed & Winner Chapels churches' promotional customized flags and car stickers is so huge when you consider the number of their church members, global network of branches and their aggressiveness to also recruit new members. Another reason why the product is hot is based on the fact that every church member, nowadays, loves to show off the identity of the denomination he or she belongs to. Churches also need the stickers because it is a source of extra income for the church as they could easily convince their members to buy for personal use and also for evangelism Profitability of the car sticker How to make N500k reselling the car stickers using sales boys/girls The profit potential for the sticker is so huge and attractive! As a distributor you get the car sticker from us at N300/pc .You recruit sales boys and girls who sell to car owners at N500.

They would make huge sales during their special programs Your profit margin is N100/pc. If you recruit enough sales people that can sell 5,000 pieces, for example, in a month, you would make about N500,000( N100 x 5,000) profit per that single supply. Wow! Is this not a cool business? The interesting thing about this business is that there is assurance for continuous sales, because these churches do constant evangelism How to make N500k reselling the customized church flags using sales boys/girls The profit potential for the flags is so huge and attractive!

If you recruit enough sales people that can sell 10,000 pieces, for example, in a month, you could make about N500,000( N50 x 10,000) profit per month. Marketing strategy 1. Sell Directly to church branches: Identify a particular branch of those churches and send a proposal addressed to the branch pastors introducing the car sticker and flags to them, highlighting the promotional, evangelical and income generating benefits of the sticker to the church. There are Redeem & Winners Chapel churches everywhere. So, identifying one won't be a problem 2. Recruit Resellers in a church branch: Get a business minded reseller in any of the church branches to partner with you. You supply the reseller while she sell to her co-members 3. Recruit Sales People: This strategy is very effective as the sales people aggressively sell the items to church members during weekly programmes and special events 4. WhatApp Marketing: Whatapp marketing is a very effective marketing strategy because it enables you to send detailed description of your product with pictures, and the possibility of getting potential resellers or end user 5. Social media marketing: use facebook, twitters, intagram, google+ etc to market the product 6. Classified Advert: Post the advert of the car sticker on free classified advert online.

You could target Salvation Ministries, for instance, The production cost of the stickers from us is N300/PCS, and you sell @ N500 to end-users; sell @ N350/PC to big Distributors; sell N400/PC to petty resellers and marketers The following marketing tips could be helpful 1. Identify individuals/ pastors in branches/parishes of target church. Supply them the car sticker at N400/PC, while they sell at N500/pc to end-users. 2. Look for shops within or outside that sell the church materials, you could be interested resellers of the sticker, you would supply them at N400/PC, while they sell at N500/pc to end-users 3. Recruit marketers/ sales person during you target church events: crusades, convention to sell the stickers. The sales persons get the sticker at N400/PC, while they sell at N500/pc. They make a commission of N100/PC as their remuneration 4. Finally, you could get big Sub-distributor, who will make huge financial investment to buy large quantity of the stickers, you sell to them at N350/PC, while they sell at N400/pc to resellers or N500/pc to end-user To take immediate advantage of this money-making opportunity and become our distributor Call/ whatsapp080*********

Haunting last video of Gil Scott-Heron
Haunting last video of Gil Scott-Heron
Just read a really interesting interview with sculptor Antony Gormley (in New Scientist magazine, of all places) that had a surprisingly political slant.
His recent installation Clay and the Collective Body explores "conversations between people – through objects or through the process of creating" by locking 100 random people in a stark white environment, with only a monolithic block of clay for entertainment. This "gave rise to an extraordinary and explosive outpouring of, you could say, collective unconciousness."
This alien place seemed to trigger something in the participants, something primal that if I was more of a "yogurt-weaver", I may be tempted to call a universal human connection – certainly the only familiar sight were other people, and the only way of killing time was to create.
"What's absolutely beautiful is the way that people have occupied that space and become the absolute opposite of what capitalism wants us to be – passive consumers of spectacle, of information, of entertainment, of objects of desire – they become participatory and productive and cross-fertilising." I thought it was particularly apt that Gormley chose to use the word occupy in that context.
Although Gormley goes on to state that he never intends to make overt political statements with his work, he lets slip that "…there's no question that many of my works, in different ways, are asking about the connection between humans and our environment. And I think that all my installations in cities of the naked human animal in effigy form – surrogate fossils, industrialised fossils – are asking, where does humankind fit? Now that we seem to be well into the sixth great extinction, how long are we going to contribute to the evolution of life? Those are very big issues" – and undoubtedly political ones.
Another subject that Gormley brings up in the interview, that is also a favourite of my own, is that of Easter Island.
This 'ghost island' captured my imagination from a very young age, as it seems to encapsulate the power that art and iconography can hold over people, our self-destructive tendencies, the damage that can be caused by a flawed belief system and the folly of excess that human civilization seems prone to follow.
"What was in the mind of the man or woman on Rapa Nui who cut down the last tree? It seems the answer to that question is "Well, I cut down this tree because that was what my father did and that was what my father's father did." I think we're in the same position, but we are running on the myth of progress. My work is there to ask pretty serious questions about how we can shift our perception of what constitutes viable human actions or viable human behaviour."
I always thought there was an eerie connection between Gormley's sculpture and the statues on Easter Island, and I'm pleased to learn my instincts were close to the mark. Both signify mankind's strange detachment from the world that bore him, and the lonely marks left on the land after he has gone.
Gormley also goes on to criticise elitism and the determinism of scientific progress – it is a thoroughly thought provoking and enlightened article, that has once again piqued my enthusiasm for art's potential to induce change, by making us take a long, hard, look in the collective mirror.
Read the whole interview in New Scientist
"Apologies for swearing in an opening sentence, but have you seen the shitbastard sky we've been having lately? In case you don't recognise it at first glance, it's that bruise-coloured ceiling of floating misery that has been remorselessly flinging cold water over everyone and everything in the nation for weeks now. There's moss growing on the inside of clouds up there. The British summer has long been a work of bleak fiction but this year it morphed into full-blown dystopian satire…"
Charlie Brooker is back to full form with a miserablist masterpiece on the shitty british summer. Cheered me up anyway!

Internet terminals are available to in-house library users during normal business hours. With the exception of visiting travelers, all users must apply for a library card with a picture ID and a proof of address. (Non-residents of the Library District may purchase a library card for full service or obtain a free Internet Only card.) Anyone with $5 or more on their record will be denied access to the Internet terminals. Visiting travelers who request access may obtain a guest pass by showing a photo I. D. In the Youth Services and Teen areas, priority will always be given to youth and teens. Children ages 6 and under must have an adult with them at all times at any library computer station.
Internet terminals are available on a first-come, first-serve basis and may not be reserved ahead of time. Internet use is limited to a maximum of 3 hours per day. If all computers are in use and users are waiting for a terminal, the time limit for computer use may be reduced to 30 minutes per session.
Internet terminals are on-line with printers for patron use. Black and white prints are $.15 each, payable at the print stations before the prints are released. Patrons using the printer are responsible for paying for all the pages they print. Those wanting to print documents should use the print preview first in order to print only the pages desired.

Any abuse of this policy by a library user under the age of 18, the library staff will notify the user's parent or guardian.
It is the policy of the Cape Girardeau Public Library to provide resources including Internet access equally to all library users. However, in order to comply with the Children's Internet Protection Act, all computer stations are equipped with filtering software. If requested by an Internet user age 18 or older, library staff will turn off the filter. Staff may take measures to insure that other patrons will not inadvertently view inappropriate images. Software filters are not 100% effective, therefore parents and guardians, not library staff, are responsible for all information that their children select, access and/or submit. Parents are advised to supervise their children's Internet sessions.
In accordance with the Neighborhood Children's Internet Protection Act, minors may not access inappropriate matter on the Internet. The library also cautions minors that electronic mail, chat rooms and other forms of direct electronic communications are not safe or secure. Minors should never disclose, use, or disseminate personal identification information.
In light of the above statements, the Cape Girardeau Public Library assumes the responsibility for maintaining a neutral environment in the public service areas. We therefore ask patrons to be aware that terminals are in public locations and can be readily viewed by other patrons in the library. The library recognizes that although certain material may not be offensive to some, the staff does reserve the right to ask a patron not to access a site that displays prurient material that may be offensive to other library users. The first notice will be documented in the user's record. A second notice will result in loss of library computer privileges for one month. A third notice will result in loss of computer privileges for 6 months. A fourth notice will result in computer privileges revoked indefinitely and only reinstated after successfully petitioning the Library Director.

A tsunami advisory for San Diego triggered by an 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Chile was cancelled Saturday night, the Coast Guard said.
The San Diego area experienced surges of four to five feet for about 90 minutes early Saturday afternoon, the Coast Guard said. There were reports of boats in Mission Bay, San Diego Bay and Oceanside Harbor breaking free from their moorings, but all were later safely resecured, said Coast Guard spokeswoman Jetta Disco.
San Diego lifeguards reported sighting a tsunami shortly after noon off the coast of La Jolla on Saturday.
Over a 10- to 15-minute period starting at noon, lifeguards saw the ocean water recede and then return as outgoing and incoming tides, said San Diego lifeguard Lt. John Everhart.
Normally, such a tidal flow would last several hours, he said. The tidal surge was reported in the Bird Rock and La Jolla reef areas.
A Navy spokesman said its ships were advised to leave the San Diego Harbor and go out to sea as a "precautionary measure."
By noon, the USS Lake Champlain, a cruiser, and the USS Dewey, a destroyer, had gone out to sea. The spokesman said sending the ships would provide Navy officials with more flexibility and options should there be a need for their services.
There were three tsunami tidal surges in Oceanside Harbor, the first at 12:15 p.m., when the water level rose 16 inches in less than five minutes, said Oceanside Fire Department Battalion Chief Pete Lawrence. The second surge occurred about 20 minutes later, and the last about 1:15 p.m.
Lawrence said two people trying to get their boat out at a launch ramp abandoned the effort temporarily because they were concerned the rear part of their truck would be under water by the time they were done.
The only damage was to two buoys near the harbor entrance, Lawrence said. The surge moved them out of position, he said.
At Point Loma Sportfishing on Scott Street in America's Cup Harbor, there were three tsunami tidal surges between 1 and 5 p.m., said officer manager Tish Deering.
She said there was damage to some wooden docks and some water pipes were broken.
"Our docks were actually sitting in the mud along with our boats," she said, although no boats were damaged.
"We have quite a bit of beach in front of the landing, and in less than eight minutes the tide went from mid-beach to our boats sitting in the mud crooked and then back up again (in the water)," she said.
She said it was actually "pretty amazing" to watch.
"I've been here for almost 20 years, and no one has ever seen anything like it," she said.

Fellowships in nursing can vary from programs that center on clinical care specialties to management and administrative roles. These focused initiatives provide the hands-on experience and comprehensive training needed to develop a specialized nursing skill.
The American Nurses Foundation (ANF), the charitable and philanthropic arm of the American Nurses Association (ANA), recently announced a new Washington-based fellowship focused on maximizing the nurse's role in policymaking, and engaging and fostering nurses' policy activism.
The program was inspired by the book, Nurses Making Policy: From Bedside to Boardroom, by editors, Rebecca M. Patton, MSN, RN, CNOR, FAAN, Margarete L. Zalon, PhD, RN, ACNS-BC, FAAN, and Ruth Ludwick, PhD, RN-BC, CNS, FAAN.
"The fellowship fund will ensure that nursing influence through policy development extends to every level of government—including the Executive Branch," Patton said in a press release. She also challenges every nurse to support the fund and get involved in advocacy within their community. "It is an investment in our future as nurses," Patton said. "We must ensure individual nurses can participate in policy discussions and decisions."
"The future is in our hands. It's critical as nurses that we ensure our voices are part of every health care policy discussion," ANF Chair Joyce J. Fitzpatrick, PhD, RN, MBA, FAAN, said in the press release. "The fellowship fund will help enable that to happen if nurses support it."
ANF's new Public Policy Fellowship Fund is being launched with contributions from nurse leaders and the editors' royalties. More than $25,000 has already been contributed thus far. If you'd like to contribute, go to www.givetonursing.org.
ANF also promotes nursing through its annual Honor a Nurse campaign, sponsored by Lippincott Solutions. ANF wants to make sure nurses know they are respected, valued, and recognized for the heroic work they do every day for patients and their families. To honor a nurse, make a donation, and enter the Nurse of the Year contest, go to www.lippincottsolutions.com/landing/HonorANurse.

Rafflesia is the world's largest, the heaviest, the rarest and the one of the most stinkiest flowers in the world. It grows to 1 metre wide and weighs about 10 kgs.
Rafflesia, a native of rainforests of Thailand, Malaysia and in the Indonesian Archipelago, is the largest flower in the world. Interestingly, Rafflesia is a parasitic plant without any leaves, stems and roots (It has only nutrient-absorbing threads to absorb nutrients from the host on which it lives) but for the largest flower.
Rafflesia flower has a small lifecycle of 5-7 days. Rafflesias have their stamens and pistils fused together in a central column, producing a corona, or crown, in the shape of a ring. The reddish brown colors of the petals, are sprinkled with white freckles. The smell attracts the carrion flies and then pollination occurs. After 9 months of maturation, Rafflesia plant opens into a cabbage-sized bud. The sexual organs are located beneath the rim of the disk.
Facts About Rafflesia Flower
– Rafflesia is the largest individual flower. Titan arum bears the largest inflorescence.
– Rafflesia is a parasite which attaches itself to a host plant, Tetrastigma vine, which grows only in undisturbed rainforests, to obtain water and nutrients.
– The genus Rafflesia is named after adventurer and founder of the British colony of Singapore, Sir Stamford Raffles.
– Rafflesia is the official state flower of Sabah in Malaysia, as well as for the Surat Thani Province, Thailand.
– Rafflesia manillana, the smallest species in the genus Rafflesia is also has 20 cm diameter flowers.
– Rafflesia flowers are unisexual.
– Forest mammals and tree shrews feed on Rafflesia fruit which is 15cm in diameter, filled with smooth flesh and thousands of tiny hard coated seeds.
– It is believed that rafflesia is related to poinsettias, violets, passionflowers, and other members of the order Malpighiales.
– The rotten smell of the flower is due to the reddish tentacle-like, branched ramentae, inside the corolla of petals.
– Rafflesia is an endangered or threatened genus.
– Rafflesia arnoldii does not have chlorophyll, as all the green plants have and so it cannot undergo

With this feat, TVS Scooty Zest 110 has earned a place in the India Book of Records for being the first 110 cc Scooter to reach Khardung La in the Himalayas.

As Super Bowl 50 approaches, it's probably time you bowed out of the race for a big game ticket sold at the average price of around $5,000 online. After all, you got your large-screen TV, unlimited hot dogs and beer at your disposal, not to mention a comfy seat on the couch and the best angles CBS cameras can bring you.
But what if there was a way to further enhance the living room football-watching experience, basically beaming the excitement from the stadium to mere inches away from your eyes? That's right, we're talking augmented reality, though it's important to note actual progresses and applications in the field are still at an uncertain point down the road.
Nonetheless, Microsoft is dreaming big, aiming for its HoloLens headset to someday help football fans get the best seats in the house within their own homes. Can you imagine players breaking the fourth wall (literally), and the arena being visible from all angles in your whole room, not needing to wait for an official replay? How about stats always available on your coffee table, and fantasy scores updated in real time without you having to ever check a second screen?
You can't? Then this here video may well blow your mind. Just be careful to not think too much about it, or Sunday's big game will be ruined. Also, remember the Microsoft HoloLens hasn't even shipped to developers yet, and that it's set to cost a small fortune.

October 11, 2011
Commonwealth of Virginia
Office of Govenor Bob McDonnell
Montgomery County, Virginia - Governor Bob McDonnell today announced that Backcountry.com, the largest online specialty retailer of premium outdoor gear, will invest more than $20 million to establish a fulfillment center in Montgomery County. The Utah-based company's east-coast presence, which will be located in Falling Branch Corporate Park, will create more than 200 new jobs. Virginia successfully competed against Kentucky and Pennsylvania for the project.
Speaking about today's announcement, Governor McDonnell said, "Backcountry.com is a well-known outdoor retailer, and I am thrilled they have selected Virginia as home to their east-coast operations and are making a significant investment in our community. Montgomery County is a progressive, technology-driven community that provides numerous outdoor recreational opportunities to its residents due to the proximity to the Appalachian Trail and the Washington-Jefferson National Forest. Backcountry.com will be right at home here. I know they will find no shortage of customers in the region, and they'll have no problem finding motivated, innovative and dynamic Virginia employees who identify with, and are passionate about, their mission and vision."
"Montgomery County and Virginia gain a great corporate partner with this impressive project," said Jim Cheng, Virginia Secretary of Commerce and Trade. "The addition of more than 200 new employment opportunities is welcome news for the region, and I have every confidence that Backcountry.com will become part of the outdoor niche in the Commonwealth."
Backcountry.com operates ten online specialty retail stores: Backcountry.com, SteepandCheap.com, Dogfunk.com, WhiskeyMilitia.com, CompetitiveCyclist.com, RealCyclist.com, Bonktown.com, HuckNroll.com, Chainlove.com, and DepartmentofGoods.com, which, combined, sell more than 1,000 brands. Backcountry.com is a controlled subsidiary of Liberty Interactive Corporation (Nasdaq: LINTA, LINTB).
"We started small in Utah, and Utah has been our operations base for 14 years. Amazing customer service and blisteringly fast fulfillment are two cornerstones of our business, and as we've grown, it has become very clear to us that to serve our customers nationwide, we need an East Coast fulfillment center," said Jill Layfield, CEO of Backcountry.com. "When deciding on a location, Virginia just made sense. It's not only a strategically viable location operationally, it's a beautiful place where outdoor sports are part of the lifestyle, and that's important to us."
The Virginia Economic Development Partnership worked with Montgomery County, the Town of Christiansburg and the New River Valley Economic Development Alliance to secure the project for Virginia. Governor McDonnell approved a $300,000 grant from the Governor's Opportunity Fund to assist Montgomery County with the project. Through its Virginia Jobs Investment Program, the Virginia Department of Business Assistance will provide funding and services to support the company's recruitment, training and retraining activities.
"The state of Virginia, Montgomery County and Christiansburg proved to us that this is where we should do business," said Layfield. "Their support of and commitment to Backcountry.com has been remarkable, and that is only a sign of their larger commitment to the people of the area."
"Montgomery County is pleased to welcome Backcountry.com," said Montgomery County Board of Supervisors Chair Jim Politis. "This is a prime location for a distribution hub for the East Coast, and the company will be creating hundreds of jobs. Backcountry.com also fits in very well with our region's abundant outdoor recreation opportunities."

Asset Transfer of the Marsden Mechanics Building in the Village Centre.
"There is a once in a generation opportunity for the village to take full possession of what public subscription created 150 years ago. Kirkless Council say they can no longer afford to keep the Mechanics on as a public service but have offered to assist the Marsden community in taking over full ownership of the building. A grant has been sought to commission a pre-feasibility study to explore the implications: THE FUTURE IN OUR HANDS!
The Current Situation
Marsden Mechanics is a Grade II listed building, which was saved from dereliction and demolition by the people of Marsden after a long campaign. The renovated building was reopened in 1992.
The Mechanics is owned by Kirklees Council, but managed by the voluntary Marsden Mechanics Management Association on behalf of the community. The main hall, meeting room and foyer are used for all kinds of events, performances, classes and
meetings. The Mechanics is a licensed wedding venue and a popular place to hold a party. It also houses Marsden's library and the office of the Marsden based Mikron Theatre Company.
The Threat
Kirklees Council is disposing of large parts of its property portfolio, which it can no longer afford to run and maintain. Kirklees has told the Management Association that unless the community can take over the Mechanics, it will be closed and mothballed or sold. The Council would prefer that the community takes over ownership of the building by a process known as Asset Transfer. If we don't take ownership, the village risks losing its only community meeting place that is free from religious or political alignment, its library and the building itself, Marsden's iconic architectural landmark.
The Opportunity
The community of Marsden, which built the Mechanics by subscription 150 years ago, has the opportunity to own the building once again. It needs modernising and, if we take ownership, there is the possibility of altering and extending the building, using adjacent land, to purpose-build more useable and flexible spaces that can generate extra income and help secure the Mechanics' future.
Next Steps
First, we need to decide whether, as a community, we want to take on the Mechanics with its associated risks and responsibilities. If we do, we need to create a new, incorporated, body which can own, manage and sustain the Mechanics. We need to decide what the Mechanics should look like in the twenty-first century. How could we remodel its spaces to fulfil our needs? Who might occupy it? What services might be run from the building? How can we secure its financial future? Asset Transfer will be a lot of work. We will need a team of enthusiastic, creative and committed people to see the process through. Can you help us? If you can, please come along to our AGM at 7.30pm on 17 December or contact us at email@example.com"

Project Sustainability Planning
If your content-related Europeana project is nearing its end, you must start planning for how the results will be sustained. There are three main scenarios that you might find yourself in when your project finishes:
- The project ends and there are no ongoing activities or funding
- A follow-up project continues within the current project structure
- The project takes on the role of an aggregator either as a 'dark aggregator' or an 'aggregator with own portal'
Experience gained from various projects and aggregators offers the following insights in helping your project 'shift':
- Start thinking about sustainability plans as early as possible, even from the beginning of the project.
- At least six months before the end of the project, get in touch with Europeana to discuss your re-routing options and agree on next steps.
- Conduct a survey to collect relevant information from your project partners about their plans after the project. Share your survey results with Europeana, so the database can be updated with contact information and the status of aggregation.
- It is highly recommended that all project partners register for the Europeana Network. It is the best way to stay informed about Europeana developments.

Key questions for Project Coordinators:
- Is there a task in the workplan focusing on sustainability? Focus on how to continue the relationship with partners and delivery of their data after the project ends.
- Which of the three scenarios applies to your project? An analysis of the opportunities and threats for each scenario could be useful and re-used in a sustainability plan.
- Are all partners in the project committed to making their digitised data available to Europeana after the project?
- Where and how will your project documenation be archived? Can everything be made public now?
Project Shift Guidelines
In order to ensure project sustainability and to guide you through best practice, please review The Project Shift Guidelines below. We will work with you to find the most suitable solution for your project.

Regional councillor calls for job re-training to fight homelessness
Strickland sees gaps between available jobs in region and workers
A jobs summit that can match workers with available jobs in the region is a better way to fight homelessness and fix the problem of a lack of affordable housing, according to regional councillor Sean Strickland.
"In our community right now there's hundreds of jobs for software programmers that are going wanting for example. Meanwhile, we have 8,000 people on our welfare caseload," Strickland told Craig Norris in an interview on The Morning Edition Tuesday.
"How do you take those folks and re-skill them for the modern economy? I'm not suggesting they're going to be computer programmers, but there's other jobs," he said, citing the food processing industry as an example.
Strickland is also the community services committee chair for the regional government. He envisions a job summit where private industry, municipal and other layers of government come up with ways to re-train people who are unemployed and on welfare to help them get the jobs that are available in the region.
"If we were to continue along this path, that means government's got to continue to build more and more and more and more affordable housing, because more and more people are going to get left behind as we go through the next recession," said Strickland.
"We need to have a broader discussion about how do we take people that have been dislocated and retrain them for the jobs of today?"
Housing waitlists
According to the Ontario Non-Profit Housing association report, 156,358 households were waiting for affordable housing in Ontario as of December 31, 2011.
A report on homelessness released by the region earlier this week said there were 3,162 households on the Community Housing Waiting List in 2012, a 2 per cent increase from 2008. However in the same time period, the number of community housing units grew by 3 per cent.
A family that wants to rent a community housing unit and needs three bedrooms or more will be on the wait list for two years or longer, while someone waiting for a bachelor or one bedroom faces a four to six year wait.
Strickland says the region has brought 1000 units of affordable housing to market and another 500 will be available soon.
Jobs summit
Strickland is also looking to other levels of government to help the region deal with homelessness. He cited a lack of provincial and national housing strategies as one of the solutions he'd like to see.
"We'll do what we can but we can't afford to solve this problem based on the local tax base. I'm not offputting to higher levels government, I think they have a role to play, we have a role to play," he said.
Strickland said he organized a job summit along with regional staff and council a few years ago, but would like to see another one, because he sees an increasing number of people "left behind."
"We could do more affordable housing, and putting more money and supporting people, which is needed, but that's not a long-term solution to the problem," said Strickland.

When you're an expat you end up with a small pool of friends that are usually expats too and you cling to that group like they were your lifeline. Friends are easy enough to make but finding good ones, ones you share things in common with, ones that you connect to, well they are more rare.
I got lucky my first year of teaching because I met Elora. Being in Genoa without my husband most of the year really put me in a weird demographic zone. I'm not single and 21, so my barhopping days are well behind me, nor am I a granny with grown-up kids, so I needed to find friends who I could hang out with and do normal things with.
For the past five years Elora has been my rock. I joke about the fact that she's like a kid sister to me who I can spout unsolicited advice to and boss around, but the truth is she has saved my sanity on more than one occasion just by being that soothing voice on the end of a phone line. Always available day or night, she has been a truly great friend.
We've baked cookies together and hiked trails. Celebrated special occasions and cried when things got bad. We've also reminded each other that we are not losing our minds, we just live in Italy and it has a way of making you think you are, haha.
The most important thing in life is relationships. With family, friends and other people in general too. I don't know the pasta guy down the road by name but I have a relationship with him simply because I stop in to say hello and he always has a friendly smile for me even if I don't buy any pasta that day.
Sadly, (for me), Elora is leaving Italy. While I am truly happy for her exciting future in the UK, I am saddened that I'm losing my Canadian buddy. We talk almost every day. Like I said, she has been my rock, my kid sister, my good friend.
Good friendships are like trees. Once they take root they last forever. Add a little water and sunshine and they will give you fruit for life. I consider myself very lucky because in my lifetime I have developed some lasting friendships that I cherish. The physical distances between us mean nothing.
Elora! I will surely miss you…thank you for being there for me since Day 1.
P.S. don't forget to bring lots of cheddar cheese back from the U.K. Every time you visit me in Italy 🙂

What started as a $60 deal on carpet cleaning ended with $30,000 in fraudulent charges on a Florida woman's stolen credit card, many of which funded a wedding in Miami.
The woman, unnamed in a local media report, had purchased a voucher for carpet cleaning from the daily deals site Groupon, but on the day of the scheduled cleaning, she said someone showed up and told her she owed sales tax Groupon had forgotten to charge.
She called the carpet cleaning company and paid with her credit card. Shortly after that, she started noticing other charges from the company. On her next bill, she saw transactions for airfare to Miami, tuxedo rental and a $15,000 yacht rental used for a wedding.
As required by consumer protection laws, the credit card company did not hold her accountable for the charges, but the woman said she is in a lawsuit with the yacht company, which wants payment for the wedding it hosted.
"The Truth in Lending Act is pretty clear in the case of the consumer's liability for fraudulent charges," says Gerri Detweiler, director of consumer education for Credit.com, commenting in general about credit card theft. "They can't blame the consumer here."
To look for suspicious charges and other signs of identity theft, people should regularly check their bank statements, pull their credit reports (which can be obtained once a year for free) and monitor their credit scores using a free tool like Credit.com's Credit Report Card.
The woman had reported to her card issuer that her information was stolen, which Detweiler says should always be a high priority in order to minimize the hassle of straightening everything out.
"I do think it is a good warning for small businesses and for merchants," Detweiler said. "In certain cases merchants end up picking up the tab, so merchants have to make sure they are screening for fraud, or they could end up losing out."
