Innovation of the day
Ratanram Dudhval is a mechanic and runs his own small scale industry named Jay Kishan Krishi Yantra Udyog with his younger brother, and their sons in Rajasthan. He modified the groundnut digger by adding a vibration pad/shock absorber spring and two pivoted wheels to its rear. The key driver was a frequent problem of wear and tear and manoeuvrability of commercial tractor operated groundnut digger especially at the corners. He is engaged in the occupation of manufacturing agricultural machinery like plough, harrow, seed drill, groundnut digger, trolley, chaff cutter, tractor operated bull dozer etc.
Ratanram had observed the difficulties faced by farmers in getting labourers and also incurring losses due to inefficient digging. He had purchased a groundnut digger in 1998 (manufactured in Elanabad, Punjab) and later another digger manufactured in Ladnu. In both the diggers, he faced frequent wear and tear, and manoeuvrability issues. Since he had been repairing the machines used by other farmers and was aware of the issues due to wear and tear, he modified the groundnut digger and developed two different variants. One variant had a loaded spring at the front of ground nut digger and wheels for supporting the machine. The other one had towed wheels, which help in steering the machine in desired direction along with leather belt as vibration pad.
Modifying the conventional groundnut digger, he added vibration pad/shock absorber spring and two pivoted wheels at the rear. It is supposed to reduce load on the tractor's three point linkages and increase manoeuvrability due to wheels, reduction in breakages (mainly bearings) due to vibration pad, approach of machine in corners and easy driving on bunds and channels in the field.The machine, which can be fitted to standard 540 rpm PTO, can cover 4 ha in 8 hours, consuming 6 litres diesel. Customers who purchased machine as early as 2011 are still using the machine and the sale is mainly driven by word of mouth, which confirms the acceptability of machine among the farmers.
Ratanram Dudhval was conferred with an award for his "Groundnut nut digger with vibration pads"during 9th National Grassroots Innovation Awards.

On March 4, 2013, the Tennessee Attorney General issued an opinion severely restricting many if not most donations of electronic health records (EHR) in Tennessee. Specifically, the Tennessee Attorney General relied on Tenn. Code Ann. 68-29-129(7), which is part of the Tennessee Medical Laboratory Act, and prohibits any person from soliciting the referral of specimens to such person's (or to any other) medical laboratory or from contracting to perform medical laboratory examination of specimens "in a manner that offers or implies an offer of rebates to a person or persons submitting specimens, other fee-splitting inducements, participation in any fee-splitting arrangements, or other unearned remuneration." The Tennessee Attorney General opined that this "anti-kickback" provision prohibits any explicit or implicit financial incentive to solicit a contract to perform medical laboratory examinations of specimens. Thus, even the implication of an offer by a medical laboratory of a rebate, fee-splitting inducement, fee-splitting arrangement, or "other unearned remuneration" to a person submitting specimens is prohibited.
Accordingly, the Tennessee Attorney General ruled that a licensed medical laboratory is prohibited from making any monetary donation to a physician to cover the cost of software designed to manage the physician's EHR when the physician's office that receives the donation either continues an existing referral arrangement with the donating laboratory or subsequently initiates an arrangement for referral of specimens to the donating laboratory for analysis.
As the federal safe harbor for EHR donations, which is scheduled to terminate on December 31, 2013, does not preempt or displace state anti-kickback law and regulations, all providers must comply with both federal and state statutes and regulations.

(Editor: Gerda Osborne is speaking in her Cape Town-Column about the cosmopolitan South African Mother City.)
My name is Gerda Osborne, I live in South Africa, in Cape Town the Mother City with a mixture of different cultures and stunning scenic views, with friendly people, where there is always something to do. It's an amazing city.
I live on the west coast, Blouberg originally named by the Dutch meaning Blue Mountain North of Cape Town. The west coast is spectacular and one of the most photographed places in Cape Town, also a hot spot for kite surfers with a relaxed white sandy beach life. In this coastal suburb there is a stunning view of Table Mountain and a beautiful skyline of the mother city across the Atlantic ocean, I love to take long walks on the beach , take in the fresh air and listen to the waves and the Seagulls it's breath taking!
The Old Biscuit mill in the historic district of Woodstock is home to the City's top vintage fair warm hearted little village, locally known as ''neighbours good market'' open every Saturday from nine o´clock to two o´clock. It's a very busy little village, it is well organised relaxed and peaceful with different cultures and premier market of local and organic foods, finest quality produce, wines, pastries, biltong, cupcakes, chocolates, jams, homemade smoothies, curry's and my personnel favourites, cheeses ,breads and red wine. With a lot of treats on offer and plenty large tables were everyone can sit down and enjoy the treats and the vintage artworks and antique furniture shops, are amazing! With a friendly environment, and a lovely the view of the mountains.
A German cafe is located in Green Point opposite the Green Point Stadium. Its one of my favourite places in Green Point, I was the hostess when it first opened, so for me it feels like home, I always get a fantastic serve, and great food at affordable prices.
I also got to met wonderful people with different cultures from all over world. I made some good friends with, the language school around the corner. Green Point is a great meeting place for everyone before exploring the Mother City, Cape Town is a special city.

The Cape Grace Marina is fantastic! It's been around for 8 years, all the beautiful yachts and sail boats and stunning scenery. I love the outdoors and being on the water is breath taking. I had a lovely experience thanks to my friends and the Jet Ski was fantastic! The yacht, Wow! I've never seen anything so beautiful, I was impressed. Along the coast there is a restaurant called 'The grand' and the food there is delicious! It was nice to see visual policing on the water too. What a fantastic way to end the day.

Many times I write my posts based on what is in my heart that day or what I have seen or heard going on in the church. Then there are times like today when my writing is based not about what is on my heart so much, but what my heart needs to work on. This week we celebrate Thanksgiving and it is a wonderful day to think of all the things for which we should be thankful to God. The problem, though, is that it is not about finding all the things in our lives to be thankful for, but for finding a way to give thanks for everything in our lives. I am going to share two passages, one is the goal and the other is the motivation with the bridge between the two being faith.
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NKJVAnd we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to [His] purpose. Romans 8:28 NKJV
God tells us to be thankful in everything and the reason is that all things work together for good for those who love God. Sometimes it is difficult to make that connection. I am the poster boy for that. Sometimes I see the problem and I can not see how it can possibly work out for good in the end. I realize, though, the problem is not the problem I am facing but it is in my faith for not believing how God can work it out. For anyone else having a hard time finding a way to be thankful in hard times, the problem is the same. We focus so much on the problem and how big is seems to us that we fail to see God and how small the problem is compared to Him. Being thankful for hard times is difficult, I know. So many families are going through hard times right now. Finding thankfulness in unemployment, homelessness, sickness, chronic pain, and losing loved ones may seem impossible but that is only because we are looking at the problem and not at the One who is going to work it out for good.
I think there is another problem that many face in these kinds of situations. I certainly know that I do. That problem is pride and the feeling that we need to somehow be a part of working things out. God may have a part for us to play or God may have us remain still and just know that He is God. God has done it both ways in the Bible, but in either case it is always God who ultimately does the working. Giving things over to God can be hard. Once again, though, it is a matter of faith. You need to ask yourself if you really believe the promise that God will work it out. You also need to ask yourself if you truly believe that God loves and cares for you. I say that because if you truly do then you must also truly believe that God is going to take care of you. We are told to cast all of our cares on Him because He cares for us. Do you believe that? If so, then we must be willing to trust God to take care of all those problems that come up in our lives. We must have faith that He will work it out. We must have the faith to stand aside and let Him do the work and only act if He tells us to and only do what He wants us to do. Anything more is only getting in the way of His plan.
So with all of that said, my message for this Thanksgiving is not to find things to be thankful for, but to find the things you are not thankful for and work to change your heart in those areas. Many people love to list the things they are thankful for this time of year. Some are even posting one thing each day for which they are thankful. That is not a bad thing to do, but it is easy. You can always find something good to be thankful for, even the unbeliever can do that. This year, I want us all to step it up a notch. I want us all to find things in our lives where we can see no good in them and yet truly give thanks to God for them. I want us to take those things that bring us down and give them to God, in thanks, knowing that He can and will work it together for good. Have faith in God and in His promises and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God Philippians 4:6 NKJV

Traveling with a baby or a toddler can be extremely stressful, especially on long plane trips–and every age has its own demands. Our plan-ahead checklists can help avoid unnecessary turbulence.
Bon voyage with baby
- Most international airlines and charter flights offer special bassinets for babies under one year, but those seats are very limited, so plan your trip ahead. When traveling with baby, reserve your seat where a bassinet for your baby can be installed so you both can have some comfort and rest;
- Give yourself an extra hour for unexpected events;
- Bring enough diapers and formula or milk (double baby's usual consumption) to avoid running out on the plane or the airport since many airports don't carry any baby supplies;
- Bring enough healthy snacks for yourself to keep your energy up (raw unsalted nuts, dry or fresh fruit, yogurt)
- Bring your own water bottle so you can refill it anywhere;
- Dress comfortably; bring a change of clothes in case your baby has an accident;
- Bring one or two of your baby's favorite toys-pick soft toys that are easy to carry and could even double as cushions;
- Don't drink caffeinated drinks before the flight if you want to sleep while your baby is sleeping;
- Pack baby items separately in an easily accessible bag to allow for a smooth, fast inspection at the airport;
- Bring a lightweight travel stroller to help you conserve energy and time during airport transfers;
- To avoid delays, bring a copy of your baby's birth certificate along with his passport; different countries have different rules-especially if your last names aren't the same.
- Bring a few extra pacifiers, packed in different bags and easily accessible;
- Bring a travel changing pad and dress your baby for an easy diaper change anywhere it might be necessary;
- Tiny ears may not adjust well to pressure changes. To avoid ear problems, make sure your baby is either drinking or sucking on a pacifier during take off and landing when the cabin air pressure changes.
Traveling with a toddler
- Whether you are paying for the toddler's own seat or not, reserve your seat at an aisle so you can exit and return without disturbing your neighbors; don't be afraid to ask for two neighboring seats if the plane is not completely full;
- Dress your toddler comfortably for an easy diaper change; if she's using a potty, bring a helper seat;
- Make a plan for his entertainment: Bring few of his favorite character toys (no sharp objects or edges) or some colored scarves or a blanket so you can show him a simple puppet story; bring a few small books so he can browse through them or you can read to him;
- Pack healthy and non-messy snacks your child loves, such as raisins, whole-grain granola, fruit or veggie bites (sliced apples, pears, carrots) or other favorites;
- Bring at least two sippy cups–one for milk and one for water or juice–that you can easily refill during your travels;
- Bring easy non-slip house shoes for the airplane;
- Bring a lightweight travel stroller to help you conserve energy and time during airport transfers. Tip: Having change in local currency handy can help you rent an airport cart if you need one in a hurry;
- Toddlers are very inquisitive and their curiosity grows in new places, so make extra sure you keep an eye out at all times;

I am very excited to be doing my first review of skincare products! Rosemira very kindly sent me an amazing box of beautiful, organic products which I am only too happy to rave about and recommend!
As this is my first review of external products, I feel that I should state a little disclaimer on my stance on this. I am very happy to review any products whereby the ethos of the company fits in to the theme of my blog. I will only feature products which I would be happy to purchase, use and recommend to friends. I aim to mostly use natural and organic skincare and beauty products on myself, which are cruelty free and ethically sourced and produced. I am aware that companies producing these sort of products are in a niche market. Because I greatly admire the ethos under which they operate and the message which they are sending to the world, I am happy to give genuine and talented producers of these products praise and promotion on my blog.
Rosemira is definitely an example of such a company. Rosemira state that they have a relationship to nature and care about sustainability and the environment. They don't use artifical commercial preservatives, additives, parabens, phthalates, artificial fragrances or dyes. They are a member of the Leaping Bunny Coaltion for Consumer Information on Cosmetics and PETA, and they are a Green America Approved Business in Green America's Directory of Products & Services for People and the Planet. Like me, the founder of Rosemira loves essential oils, and they are incorporated in the products for both their healing and aromatic properties. The company uses only organic and wild crafted essential oils andpure botanical extracts.
Most of the products have a limited shelf life compared to other commercial products -this is a good thing! The butters last six to eight months from date of purchase and the toners and serums last about a year while the natural cleansers and moisturising creams are made to order and last three to four months. Rather than being an inconvience, this is a major plus for me! Skincare products with these shelf lives are fresh, natural and biologicallyactive, offering the very best outcome for your skin and your health.
A message on their website (http://rosemira.com) reads as follows "At Rosemira we believe beauty should not come at the expense of health. Many of the larger skin care companies that dominate the anti-aging skin care industry use ingredients which are toxic both to our environment and to ourselves. These companies don't provide their customers with effective results. Since organic and natural ingredient skin care is gaining popularity, these companies are going to market with new products touted as organic and natural. Unfortunately natural and organic are words which are easy to place on labels with little need to prove their validity. We're being misled into trusting these products. Not all companies are following suit. There are companies with a social ethic–companies like Rosemira that actually use organic and natural ingredients 99% of the time. We buy our ingredients from distributors we trust. We use the best ingredients available on the market today"
I love how Rosemira promotes a healthy lifestyle on their website, tying in the use of natural, organic skin products with an emphasis on a holistic approach to health, nourishment and self care. They highlight how using natural products on your skin is just as important as eating right and exercising. Rose Mira also takes the refreshing approach of aging gracefully and beautifully, rather than avoiding the aging process at all costs. The company is of the opinion, which I share, that rather than sticking rigidly to a skincare routine, we should use different products according to the seasons, the weather, traveling, etc. Your skin is an active, working organ rather than just something keeping all your insides together! Their product range has so much variety that tailoring your use of products is made easy, and by matching your products with what is going on with your body at the time, you will massively increase the benefit and functionality.
I tried out the following products which were sent to me:
Pineapples & Cream Cleansing Milk
I used this cleansing milk on days when I wasn't wearing any make up. It is lovely and light and my skin felt really soft afterwards. It has a very fresh clementine smell which is really nice but I do usually prefer my face products to be lighter scented. If this is not your preference then you will love the scent wafting up your nose as you massage this cream in. It contains bromelain, an enzyme derived from the pineapple extract, which gently exfoliates the skin.
Sweet Coconut Body Butter
I wish we had the technology to share smells via the internet because I would love to share the amaaaazing coconut and mango smell with all of you -can't stop smelling myself! Wonderful scent aside, this moisturiser gets straight to work on the skin leaving it smooth, soft and protected.
Moisturise Me Citrus Restorative Cream
This is a really rich cream which can be used day or night for all skin types. You only need a tiny amount of this product as it is very nourishing. It effectively tones skin and tightens pores, slows down wrinkle formation and helps reduce the appearance of existing ones. It is said to work particularly well for Combination and Oily skin and those prone to acne, however my normal/dry skin loved it too!
See Me C Repair Serum
I loved this serum. It is deeply healing, moisturising, soothing and balancing. It contains pomegranate seed oil and marula oil, which is apparently the newly hyped oil coming to take argan oil's crown! It also contains the anti aging essential oils of frankincense and rose which have powerful skin rejuvenating and hydrating properties. This rich and effective serum feels fast absorbing and highly nourishing. It dramatically improved some hormonal spots along my jaw line. I couldn't believe it when I woke up in the morning and saw that they 50% healed overnight. On doing some more research I discovered that marula oil is highly praised for its acne and spot fighting benefits. Another massive bonus for this beautiful serum!
Beauty Revitalising Serum
This serum combines sea buckthorn berry, evening primrose, borage seed oils, carrot androse essential oils. It feels so nourishing and healing on the skin, a real treat!
Spring Flowers Calming Toner
I loved this fresh, light toner. It mixes floral hydrosols of orange blossom and lemon verbena with essential oils of linden blossom and rose damascene. The scent is lovely and a few sprays on the face leaves skin feeling less tight and very soothed.
Although I love having fun by experimenting with making my own natural skin and beauty products, it's always a treat for a reformed beauty product junkie like me to try out new face and body products. All of these products felt amazing on my skin. If you feel like treating yourself and your skin, I'd definitely recommend checking them out. In particular I recommend the face serums, as you only need a few drops per use which makes them very long lasting and which also offsets the initial cost. Rosmira Skincare is a gorgeous line of luxury skin products. All of the products which I tried were of really high quality and incredibly effective. Highly recommended!

International Black sea day
International Black sea day (International Black Sea Day) is celebrated to commemorate the day in 1996 when six black sea countries — Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey, Georgia, Russia and Ukraine — signed the Strategic action plan on rehabilitation and protection of the Black sea .
This Plan was developed after a thorough research of the marine environment, which showed that its viability has deteriorated significantly in comparison with the previous three decades.
Its main purpose was to draw international attention to what irreparable damage to the sea causes overfishing, water pollution and global warming .
On this day in the participating countries this document a variety of activities devoted to the problems of the Black sea and preserving its unique ecosystem. Their main aim is the formation of public opinion in defense of the sea and facilitation of education of ecological culture of the population.

Viviparous fish
Viviparous fish are among the most popular aquarium fish species. Earned its popularity because of the ease of breeding in aquariums, even without any special conditions. Main popular representatives of the species: guppies, swordtails, and platys mollienesia. Due to the ease of breeding, viviparous fish have been widely disseminated among breeders. They are called viviparous, because they don't spawn and immediately throw the fry, they develop the female in the abdomen after fertilization by the male of the female. Other viviparous fish kept in aquariums more often. They are less popular because of the modest color or bad habits — excessive aggressiveness or jednosti.
Sex differences viviparous:
Anal fin of females have fan-shaped. Anal fin of the male has the appearance of a twig (gonopodium) and can rotate in all directions.
Mosquitofish. A male and female.

Almost all types of viviparous fish will be suitable tank volume 100 litres, planted with aquatic plants. Some viviparus, for example mollienesia, doing a good job with small growths of algae on the plants, thereby helping us in cleaning and maintaining an aquarium. But there are those types of viviparous fish that don't mind to eat some plants, especially tender leaves. Continue reading
Black sea sea horse
This original small fish from the family of needle can be considered one of the most unusual creatures of the sea. Unusual body shape resembling a figure of a horse from chess, the original bearing try. males, especially masking, nutrition and behavior — all these traits inherent in our black sea seahorses.
Currently there are about 30 species of seahorses that inhabit the coastal waters of tropical and subtropical seas. However, they are found in the North sea (off the southern coast of England).
In the Black and Azov seas inhabited the ridge, which ichthyologists are called a long name "seahorse spinner the black sea", sometimes adding more "European".
The original appearance of this fish in due time led to the fact that each tourist visiting the black sea coast, tried to take home as a souvenir instance a dried seahorse. In the 1980-early 1990-XX years, with some individuals hundreds of thousands of individuals skate, recreational areas (on the South coast) almost disappeared, so in 1994 the black sea seahorse included in the Red book of Ukraine, fishing is prohibited.
The shape (external structure). The name of the fish ("horse") comes from this "horse" appearance of the Hippocampus. The head of the seahorse is at right angles to the body (this does not observed none of the other marine life).

While the Russo-Ukrainian dispute over natural gas has dominated international political discourse in recent months, it is Crimea that has the long-term potential to become a flashpoint for future conflict in bilateral relations. The port city of Sevastopol and the Black Sea Fleet stand as the strategic crux of the cur-rent dispute between Ukraine and Russia. Founded by Empress Catherine the Great as a naval base in 1783, Sevastopol's history is one of enduring conflict and violence. The Black Sea Fleet's presence is woven into Russia's historical fabric, with the epic battles of the Crimean War (1853-1856) and World War Two (1939-1945), standing as the epitome of Russia's military glory. Crimea remained a part of Russia until 1954, when then Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev incorporated the region into Ukrainian territory as a gift to commemorate friendly relations between the two countries. However, the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 meant that Crimea's majority Russian population and the headquarters of Russia's Black Sea Fleet were now legally a part of newly independent Ukraine, whereby each country was left with conflicting interests in Crimea. The dispute was resolved temporarily in May 1997 through the "Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation between Russia and Ukraine." Nevertheless, the apex of the conflict was reached on June 24, 2008 when Ukraine explicitly stated that the lease would not be renewed and the Russian Fleet was to leave Sevastopol by May 29, 2017.

Consultant or Agent?
Originally appeared in Hills Publications, November 13, 1997
Whether it's pumping their own gas, buying bulk at a warehouse store or ordering airline tickets over the Internet, more and more people today prefer doing it themselves to save money. Unlike these commonplace activities, however, selling or buying a home is a complicated matter. Without professional assistance, thousands, or even tens of thousands, of dollars could be lost through ignorance.
The real estate industry has been slow to offer the public an acceptable alternative to traditional agency relationships and sizable fees. Fortunately, there is another option, "consulting", a misunderstood term, even among licensed real estate practitioners. Before understanding consulting, nevertheless, it is important to be clear on what agency means.
As I discussed in an earlier article, an agent is someone who represents another, called a principal, in dealings with third parties. Because of the many responsibilities and risks involved, including the risk of spending substantial time without getting remunerated, agents receive a commission, usually based on the selling price of the property.
Despite the fact that agents typically get paid this way, being considered an agent is related to the actions of the individual, not on compensation. This system has worked well for generations and is still suitable in most residential real estate transactions.
This simple concept, fee-for-service, is used by doctors, dentists, attorneys and other professionals, but rarely real estate brokers. The consultant charges by the hour only for the time actually expended on your behalf. Alternatively, a flat fee might be negotiated.
Bear in mind that standardized forms for real estate consulting do not exist. Also remember that anyone can call himself a consultant if he has a real estate license. One way to identify a professional is that he will insist on you signing a comprehensive consulting agreement that covers the limitations of consulting and enumerates the specific services you require. This document should spell out both the broker's and client's duties, and it should clearly state the hourly rate or total fee for the service, whichever applies.
Consulting scenarios
Why choose a consultant over an agent? The following are examples of some of my experiences with consulting arrangements:
For Sale By Owner (FSBO).
The seller called me after he had an interested buyer with whom he was negotiating. The buyer had an agent, and the seller wisely wanted a professional on his side. I explained the purchase contract and required paperwork and met with him a number of times as issues arose. At close of escrow, he had saved more than $10,000 in commissions.
Warning: Selling by yourself can be very time consuming and may save or cost you thousands. Even if you plan to hire a real estate consultant, do not underestimate the process.
Ex-tenant buying from landlord.
The buyer was thoroughly familiar with the property, as he had recently lived there. Prior to hiring me, he had agreed upon a price with the owner, but they did not have a written contract.
I was able to put him in touch with an excellent home inspector and pest control operator. The inspections uncovered some problems unknown to the buyer and helped him factor these into his negotiations. The buyer was able to successfully purchase the home for significantly less than if the seller had had to pay a standard commission.
Renter buying from landlord.
One of my readers called to ask for help in buying directly from the owner, who lived out-of-town. I gave the renters the choice of hiring me as their agent or as a consultant.
They asked me to be their agent because, if the sale had not closed, they would not have had to pay me anything. It did close, and, for the additional risk of acting as an agent, I was paid quite a bit more than if I had consulted hourly.
Add on, or sell and buy another.
I am currently consulting with a couple who is weighing the pros and cons of adding on to their existing home vs. selling it and buying a larger one. There are many variables to consider. We have discussed prices if they sell and buy. I have also helped them get contractor bids for the expansion.
Advice on selling.
The sellers had lived in the home for 20 years and had never sold real property before. The house was a "fixer" with extensive deferred maintenance. They hired me to consult about how they should sell (spend to fix or sell "As Is"). I gave them names of various inspectors. After gathering all the information, they decided to sell "As Is." After their home sold and they bought another, they felt consulting had resulted in greater net dollars to them.
Choosing a consultant
Because there are no requirements or certifications necessary to be a residential real estate consultant, you need to probe for information before committing. The following questions might be helpful:
What is your real estate experience? Competence is a function of the number and different types of transactions. Someone who has closed 80 to100 sales in five years would be preferable to another who has closed 50 sales in ten years. This is why just asking how long someone has been in the business is not enough.
What is the main difference between you being my agent and my consultant? You should receive a succinct explanation of agency and that consultants do not have dealings with third parties on your behalf. If you do not get this, or if it is given short shrift, keep looking.
How long have you been consulting? Describe how you have helped buyers and sellers as a consultant. Where? When? May I call some of these clients for a reference? Real estate is complex and nothing can make up for experience and good references.
Lawyers vs. real estate consultants
When does it make sense to hire a lawyer as your consultant? Obviously, if you need legal advice, an attorney is best. Ask how much of the practice is devoted to real estate. You want someone who knows the business.
Lawyers charge more and most cannot help with many aspects of buying or selling, e.g., neighborhood pricing trends, ordering and analyzing inspection reports, staging and marketing the property, helping arrange broker's tours, completing the myriad of necessary paperwork, financing and qualifying buyers, coordinating escrow and closing. A real estate consultant can do these things and more.
Final Thoughts
When appropriate, real estate consulting can be a win-win solution for all parties. Nonetheless, for the buyer or seller who hires a consultant, the benefit of saving money is tempered by the risk of having to pay even if the transaction does not close. Although many are not used to thinking this way, it is no different from hiring any professional on an hourly basis.
Consulting in real estate is not the wave of the future. It is here now.

Why would anybody think about retiring in Tulum?
With a friendly population, an average temperature of 78 degrees, an increasing infrastructure and world class health care, Mexico is one of the world's top retirement destinations.
The main factors to define "paradise for retirees" are real estate costs, special benefits for seniors, culture, safety, stability, health care, climate, infrastructure, and cost of living. According to Laura Sheridan, Managing Editor of International Living, retiring in Mexico means that "You can still have all of the amenities you grew accustomed to north of the border," while enjoying the sun and the exotic beauty of the south. The United States, ranked number 19 in the index, fell short in the area of special benefits for retirees. Retiring in Tulum, Mexico seems to be the right thing to do.
In any respect, there are no boundaries to be dreaded. After five years of living in Mexico, permanent resident status including the majority of the rights of a Mexican National can be acquired. A medical insurance package with Dental and Vision can be obtained through the Medical IMSS plan for about $270 per year. Due to the exemplary system of public transportation, in Mexico it is not necessary to have a car. Cost of living and taxes are a real bargain in relation to the United States, and great architecture and wonderful food make everyday life a permanent cultural and sensual pleasure. So it makes complete sense to plan on retiring in Tulum.
Professor David Warner of the University of Texas, who studies the integration of the U.S. and Mexican health care systems, says that the current number of 75,000 U.S. retirees living in Mexico, as more Americans retire and U.S. health care and nursing home costs along with the cost of living are skyrocketing, will continue to rise.
Syndicated finance columnist Scott Burns predicts thousands of boomers moving to Mexico in the years ahead to sustain a similar lifestyle on fixed incomes. Based on the estimation that the cost of living in Mexico can be up to 40% less than in the United States, he says that a retired couple living off $26,400 a year in Social Security benefits can raise their standard of living, without paying Medicare expenses, to an equal of $42,400 by moving to Mexico.
No wonder new retirement communities are sprouting up in Mexico, many of them in resort areas, like in Tulum, where there are many Mexico homes for sale with lower property values and taxes help U.S. seniors stretch their retirement funds.

BE facility at Genome Valley, Hyderabad is one of the largest biotech manufacturing sites in Asia. We have recently invested to introduce two new processing suites and expand current production and product testing capabilities for a number of products.
Manufacturing vaccines is a complex and highly technical process that involves stringent quality and safety procedures. Vaccines are biological products which are very sensitive to change and are highly controlled throughout the manufacturing process.
The first step in manufacturing a vaccine is to produce the active component of the vaccine, which is usually a severely attenuated, weakened or inactivated version of the virus or bacteria, rendering it safe to administer to individuals. Manufacturing processes are then vaccine-specific.

TALK – It's okay if you still don't know what to pursue
Let us read this heartfelt review from Kim Hawon also known as 'BB' and learn her struggles on learning the English Language.
Before I came here, I did my internship in China.
It was very hard. Actually, I can also say that it was enjoyable. I met lots of people and got various experiences. I never change these memories with anything.
Life is always same. Happy or unhappy and A or B at the moment. Now, I'm in fear. I couldn't choose my future job. I don't know what I can do in the future and what I can do well. Until now, I don't have any dream.
Some people can blame me, I'm not old enough actually, but I believe there are lots of same people with me who couldn't choose their dreams or find out their talents. I won't say, "It's bad, you are old enough", I will say "You are still young, you have enough time to find your own dream and talents in your life."
It's a precious sentence to say to myself.
Of course, I can work in any company and I should work to earn money, but at least I'm still young. I will try to find what I want to do. I just don't want to waste my time doing some works which I never wanted to do before.
Unfortunately, I will be a jobless girl for a while after leaving TALK Academy. But I hope that time will be very important and useful in my life. I want to try to find out what I want to do and what I think now.

Encrypted Email Service "Lavabit" Shuts Down Rather Than Comply With NSA
Ryan Martin / 6 years ago
Former NSA contractor Edward Snowden used the encrypted email client Lavabit as his own email service. Lavabit is unique in that it offers totally private emails, shielded from government surveillance and messages, to internet users. However, just recently the owner of Lavabit took the decision to shut the service down because he refused to comply with the requests of the NSA and the U.S government.
The owner of Lavabit threw in the towel after a six week legal battle with the federal government crackdown on encrypted communications. Lavabit's owner is unable to disclose the details of the incident because he has been gagged by a federal government court order.
"I have been forced to make a difficult decision: to become complicit in crimes against the American people or walk away from nearly ten years of hard work by shutting down Lavabit. After significant soul searching, I have decided to suspend operations," owner and operator Ladar Levison of Dallas, Texas wrote in the statement. "I wish that I could legally share with you the events that led to my decision. I cannot…I feel you deserve to know what's going on–the First Amendment is supposed to guarantee me the freedom to speak out in situations like this. Unfortunately, Congress has passed laws that say otherwise. As things currently stand, I cannot share my experiences over the last six weeks, even though I have twice made the appropriate requests."
Lavabit's service was unique in that it featured such a high level of encryption not even Lavabit themselves can access the emails let alone the NSA or U.S government. Lavabit accused current large email providers of selling access past spam filters to commercial businesses and too readily handing over user data to the U.S government. It thus wanted to do thinks differently and in a private way, unfortunately this will no longer be the case as the NSA has claimed yet another victim.
You can read the full message of why Lavabit are closing here and there is also a donation link on that page towards Lavabit's legal defence fees.

Slide terroir
We respect the Earth and our environment, and to do so we produce in in-ground beds,
preferably in the open air and we do not disinfect our soils.
Our salads are grown all year round, using good agricultural practices. We place biodiversity on our farms and particularly for the soil at the top of our list of priorities. Our production sites and partner farms are all Globalgap certified.
Our Story…
For Picvert the adventure started in the 90s, when Jacques Deramecourt returned to the farm after completing his agricultural studies with the idea of growing new crops. The first salads were planted, and were aimed at industrialists in the ready-to-use sector.
In 2006, we decided to give added value to our production by marketing part of it on a new segment: ready-to-rinse salads. A packaging unit was built on the farm and a trade network set up.
In 2007, Picvert set up a farm in southern Portugal in order to meet the demand for an all-year round market presence, .
Currently Picvert represents 4500 T. of salads and over 500 ha of land cultivated.
We are delighted to announce that our young salad shoots and our lamb's lettuce/rocket mix won the...
Corporate culture is a question of values for Pivert
For several years, Picvert has been regularly expanding and the team has been growing, each season is different, but we have managed to keep our values. They are what gives meaning to the actions of all of those working at Picvert and have been guiding the managing team since the beginning of the Picvert adventure.

Never Ever
I got this idea from Stacey. Yes, I'm in meme-mode lately but the one subject I was considering talking about I'm not sure if I want to go down that road. So you get a stupid meme all about me again, fun.
It's like the drinking game except I have no alcohol but feel free to drink to any of these if you have but do not drink and drive kiddies. Oh and remember, Tricks are for kids.
Never have I ever…
…had a one night stand. The closest I've had to a one night stand lasted 2 days and then I was kinda stuck being "friends" with him for a while after that. I assumed after that that all one night stands are awful.
…been cheated on…that I know of. I've also never really cheated on any boyfriend either because the one time I sorta did I told him ahead of time I was going to do it. That makes it alright, right?
…been pregnant…not even a little bit (and by little bit I mean having a scare).
…streaked although I've come close…
…been arrested but I'm sure I've come close to this as well.
…had sex with a virgin.
…called into a radioshow (other than the online ones) but I swear one day I will have the nerve to do it.
…had chicken pox or well that's not completely correct. As a kid I never had a breakout of it and my mom kept putting me around other kids with it so I'd just get it, but I never did. Finally she had me tested and it turned out I'd had it, must have been like one as a baby :dunno: Still, I got the vaccine to be on the safe side.
…called to the principal's office, I was that kid in the back of the class everyone forgot was there.
…been rushed to the ER or been in an ambulance.
…broken a bone.
So, if you were drinking (and if you are save some for me) how many times did you drink?

I've had sex with a virgin. Well, two of them. Not at once, or anything. But other than that I would not have been drinking
HannahMay 27, 2009 at 10:44 am
I've done two of those things listed. I've done a virgin and have been to the principal's office, not because I was bad, but because my principal was a little douchebag with a Napolean-complex.
