Our nation was founded on Judeo/Christian beliefs. While we as a nation are open to people worshipping in the manner of their choosing, it doesn't change the fact that our Founders spoke of the God of Abraham repeatedly in their writings.
We all know the first verse of the National Anthem, but most of us never knew there was a second one. This wonderful retired Marine shared those words with us, reminding us that we are indeed a Christian nation. I have to admit that I've watched this video several times and I've cried tears of pride each time.
God bless this great nation and its wonderful Patriots, who are fighting the dark forces to preserve our God-given rights and freedom!

Registration officials blocked some names, including Fish and Chips, Yeah Detroit, Keenan Got Lucy and Sex Fruit, he said. But others were allowed, including Number 16 Bus Shelter "and tragically, Violence," he said.
4 thoughts on "I dunno, 'Number 16 Bus Shelter' has kind of a nice ring to it."
My Sister met a family from the Beach with two children named Hummum and Misery.
I thought that nothing could beat those.
This case illustrates why the world is going to end by our own hands. The human race is a stupid one.
I call a lady I know Misery (umm, behind her back – obviously), cuz she looks like Kathy Bates.
The more I think about "Yeah Detroit", the more I LOVE it.
my middle name is Covert, so THERE!

An online gallery is very different than a traditional one.
Art galleries represent 10-40 artists and entertain a rolodex of collectors at art shows and dinner parties. With an ever increasing interest in art by new buyers, a galleries today spends more time managing interest and helping artists build their careers is more and more difficult.
POTATOMIKE helps artists, like you, gain access to buyers and collectors as well as to art dealers, gallerists and curators alike. In this brave new world, to sell your work, you need as many touchpoints to as many art lovers as possible.
To build interest in your art, we start with a digital suite that highlights your work in the most compelling light.
A Captivating, Simple Design
After two years of research, our new artist webpage creates a sense of interest and intrigue, while instilling confidence in your work.
A Fully-Functional Store
Amazon made a business on creating easy purchases, and POTATOMIKE offers you an online store that is secure, trusted by buyers and offers a variety of payment features - including accepting bitcoin.
Multiple Ways to Reach You
Our team will update your page to include current and upcoming exhibitions of your work. We have also purchased access rights to post your work on three other digital platforms that get the most visits in the art market. To reach you, your work needs to be on as many platforms as possible, and POTATOMIKE's goal is to make that happen.
Check Out What You Could Have
We partnered with Rebecca Wallis to create an online and offline experience of her work that is head and shoulders above online galleries. Our pledge is to build that experience for you. Click on Rebecca's page to see the difference we can create for you.

I'm not sure how November managed to sneak up so quickly this year when it seems like just yesterday we were enjoying the warmth of the summer sun. But the reality is that it's here and it's time to get into a Thanksgiving state of mind.
I happen to think that November is the perfect time to declutter your Home and/or Office. Why? Let me give
Giving Thanks
I try to give thanks everyday for my loved ones, my life and the things that are important to me. Do I succeed 100% of the time? Absolutely not but on a scale of 1 to 10, I'd rate myself a 9. November, however, is the month that we are reminded to be grateful thanks to Thanksgiving. So I'd like to take a few minutes to talk about some of the things I'm grateful for.
I'm grateful for:
September 2019

Hazard & Operability Study (HAZOP)
Identify the causes of undesirable plant conditions
Business Challenge
Most industrial licensing authorities and insurance companies require operating companies to carry out hazard studies and risk assessments during a facility design, as well as prior to construction and during operation.
The authorities require that the hazard studies be recorded and acted upon, and that they be subject to management audit and approval.
What is HAZOP?
HAZOP study is a well-proven structured team-based method for hazard identification at process design completion or for planned modifications.
The technique includes detailed examination of the process and engineering intention of new or existing facilities to assess the hazard potential of operation outside the design intention, or malfunction of individual items of equipment and their consequential effects on the facility as a whole.
HAZOP is led by an experienced facilitator. For an oil & gas project, a core team would typically include personnel from Process, Instruments, Machines, Project Engineering, and Operations, and it might require the involvement of process technologists, environmental specialists and corporate Health & Safety and Environment (HSE) staff for some parts of the work.
Why Choose Bureau Veritas?
Global Network
Bureau Veritas has planned, managed, delivered, and reported hundreds of HAZOP studies throughout the world.
Commitment to Success
In many cases these have then been followed by response tracking and response validation, to help ensure that the project is sufficiently acceptable for design completion, procurement, and construction.
Knowledge and Experience
Bureau Veritas has experience in providing personnel to participate in HAZOP studies as engineer or HSE specialist when that is appropriate to the client or designer.
FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a HAZOP study take?
For the installation of an oil & gas unit on an existing site, each P&ID (piping & instrumentation diagram) might take 5 or 6 hours to study. For the installation of a major new unit on an existing refinery or of the topsides on an offshore platform, 6 to 8 weeks may be required.
Can you advise us what types of hazard study and risk assessment are required for our project and our location?
Yes, we can advise on legislative requirements, legislative changes, and good practice compliance in most parts of the world.

OSHC for inbound Students
Information and Forms > Insurance
Health insurance for inbound students
All student visa holders must have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) which provides medical and hospital insurance in Australia. You must not arrive in Australia before your health insurance starts. If you are in Australia and do not have adequate health insurance, you are in breach of visa condition 8501.
Your education provider might organise your OSHC coverage for you, or you can select an approved OSHC provider yourself and pay the policy.
You will need OSHC coverage for the duration of your visa. To find out the length of coverage you will require, see student visa grant periods.
If your education provider arranges your OSHC coverage, you will need to know the name of your health insurance provider, the date that your policy starts and finishes and should be aware of the terms and conditions of your policy. If you arrange OSHC coverage yourself you will also need to know the policy number to include in the visa application.
Exceptions: You do not need OSHC if you are:
- a Norwegian student covered by the Norwegian National Insurance Scheme
- a Swedish student covered by Kammarkollegiet
- a Belgian student covered under the Reciprocal Health Care Agreement with Australia.
Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)
International students undertaking formal studies in Australia, and their dependents (for example, spouses and children under 18 years old), must obtain OSHC. It includes cover for visits to the doctor, some hospital treatment, ambulance cover and limited pharmaceuticals (medicines). OSHC insurers can provide a range of different OSHC products. These may range from a basic product which covers only the compulsory minimum services to comprehensive products which cover, in addition to the compulsory minimum services, extra services as specified under the particular policy. You can find more information, including a list of the providers and average costs, on the Department of Health (opens in a new window) website.
Remember, the Department of Immigration and Citizenship requires overseas students to maintain OSHC for the duration of time they are in Australia. For further information please visit the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (opens in a new window) website.
Private health insurance
Travel insurance
Australia has a very reliable travel industry, but cancelled flights, lost luggage or other un-planned issues can arise. If you are travelling with valuables or are on a travel schedule you have to meet, travel insurance can help cover any mishaps or missed flights. You can arrange travel insurance through a range of providers including travel insurance companies, airlines and travel booking companies.
However, the travel insurance you aquire have to comply with Rotary International standards.

XC Gear Spurz Foot Pegs for KTM, Husqvarna, Husaberg, Beta, Sherco, Yamaha
360-degree anti-vibration foot pegs. SPURZ Motocross Footpegs are an "out of the box", big thinking way to approach XC footpegs. Before SPURZ, motocross footpegs were for the most part just a grippy surface for your feet. Some motocross footpegs are exotic metals, others have pretty colors but they all are a grippy surface for your feet. SPURZ dirt bike pegs are very different. These XC footpegs are proven to reduce fatigue, absorb vibration and provide additional cushioned travel and flexing for your feet.
The foot platform of the SPURZ is completely isolated from any "metal to metal" contact with the other parts of the motorcycle. The engineered polymers that the foot platform is riding on compress upon impact and they allow slight "fore" and "aft" movement of the feet, as well as additional flexing not found in traditional motocross foot pegs.
Installing SPURZ is a positive step toward protecting your feet, ankles, knees, hips, spine and neck.
- Manufactured in the U.S.A. to the strictest specifications and tolerances
- Ultra-high grade, hardened metal components
- Customizable dampening of your footpeg

" I've done quite a lot of testing on this product and am very impressed with the increased comfort and secure feel. The polymers not only isolate your foot/ankle from vibration and hits but they also allow the peg to mildly twist which gives additional comfort to your ankles. The oversized platform is another big bonus for comfort and security. The cleats have just the right amount of grip to give a secure feel without being too sticky. King Lance has done an excellent job, not only thinking out of the box but delivering a great product to the market". Jeff Slavens

Trying something new: sketchnoting
Awesome communication is an integral part of content strategy. Communication with users, stakeholders, content authors, content owners and my team. I studied communication and worked as a journalist and radio producer for many years, but I often don't communicate as well as I would like. There have been times where I didn't understand a stakeholder's needs or was not able to convey the value of a new concept effectively.
For example, recently I failed to meaningfully explain why governance is a central part of any content strategy. I suspect this is because sometimes words are not enough - even when they are accompanied by the rich communication tool that is the human body. When I pulled this failure apart and debriefed with some content strategist colleagues they shared some techniques they have been using to communicate. They all centred around diagrams and graphs - using a visual language to convey meaning. Like this one from braintraffic.
So I am experimenting with something new - visual communication. I have taken Ben Crothers drawing class (twice - yes it is that good), poured over Edward Tufte's fabulous books including "The Visual Display of Quantitative Information", and read numerous other books about visual design, graphic design and visual communication. But something was holding me back. Maybe it was not knowing how to use the right tools, maybe it was not wanting to make a mistake (make a fool out of myself), or maybe it was not wanting to be disrespectful to a field populated by experts with many years training and practise under their belts :)
This month something changed. I tried a super quick course from skillshare on how to use the Paper iPad app for visual comms and I loved it. Then I challenged myself to practise with that tool so that "tool selection" stops being an excuse. I want to move on to the next level - creating visual artifacts which accompany a conversation and enhance communication. I will never be a visual designer, but I don't think having a try is going to offend anyone. I would however really appreciate any tips from those of you who are visual design professionals :)
Disclaimer - I have tried a couple of things using this tool before, for example, the following presentation and project briefing.
Here are the results of my latest experiment. A first go at 'sketchnoting" to start me off. And yes of course they are terribly amateur, but having a crack felt great, and I can't wait to get better and start using this tool (or other tools) to improve how I understand and talk about tough and complex content strategy concepts.
Sketching UX Australia Sydney Redux
The experience design leader's playbook (Anthony Quinn)
Qualities of the ultimate content strategist and designer (Elle Geraghty and Karina Smith)
Presenting so I could not do this one :)
The UX of edutainment apps for under 8s (Charlie Pohl & Simon Krambousanos)
Blueprinting the void: The story of 'Reinventing the ATO' (Ciara Rumble and Leeanne Douglas)
Hyperbolic discounting: Turning goldfish into squirrels (Ash Donaldson)
Stop designing screens, start designing change (Freya Elliot)
Empowering older Australians through UX design (Justin Sinclair)
Novel uses for storytelling (Alex Kan)
So now it is your turn! Have a go at communicating using a different method than usual and let me know how you go :)

I recently sold my Mamiya RB67 and purchased a Hasselblad 500CM from a fellow NZ film shooter, Michael Neale (you should go check out his awesome work). I'm only a few rolls into it but I thought I'd share some of my photos and experience so far.
Kodak Portra 400 // dev+scan by The Black and White Box
Roll #1
On this roll I was shooting down to a shutter speed of 1/60 as I had been doing the same on my RB67, so I didn't think much of it. Once getting the scans back I realised many of the shots either had motion blur or I had missed the focus! I've been using split screen viewfinders until now, so the Hasselblad focusing screen is taking a bit of getting used to. There were still a few I was pretty happy with though - I've included some below. You can click on a photo to view the full res version. The one of the ship is a good example of motion blur, as I was stopping down the aperture for as much depth of field as possible.
Roll #2
With this roll I only shot down to a shutter speed of 1/125 and took more care with focusing. I was much happier with the results across the roll. The photo of Judah and Ash on the swing was kindly featured on KEH Camera's instagram feed.
Roll #3
Roll #4
thoughts (Camera Geekery)
Out of all the medium format cameras I've owned this is definitely the most portable - on the strap it hangs nicely against the body when not in use and isn't too heavy. As expected of the legendary Carl Zeiss glass, the lens performs amazingly. Even at the widest aperture of 2.8 there is no noticeable vignetting, distortion, or loss of sharpness at the edges of the frame. The fact it is all-mechanical appeals to me and means I never have to worry about batteries. Despite the minimum focus distance being a slight limitation for close-ups, I get the feeling this is going to be a a great camera for portraits and landscapes, which is what I find myself gravitating towards when using the camera. There are only 12 shots on each roll, and to make the most of this larger negative size you need to really nail the focus and make sure you don't get any camera shake from lower shutter speeds like I mentioned above.
The Hasselblad's limitations inspire a more thoughtful, calculated approach and it rewards the extra work by producing stunning images. I don't think medium format will ever replace 35mm for candid/documentary style photography for me but I find myself reaching for this camera more and more when I head out to shoot.
Hit me up with any questions in the comments below.

Special K: How does the K Club check out, 25 years since it opened?
Short breaks in Ireland
A €20 million makeover has made the K Club perfect for a five-star Friday escape, says our Travel Editor.
Set the mood
"Last January, the hotel ended here," says the K Club's affable concierge, Pat Duffy, leading us into the new Liffey Wing.
You wouldn't know it. A €20m refurb has seen the five-star balloon in size to 134 bedrooms, but the new wing is seamlessly stitched onto the previous one, which is seamlessly stitched onto the original, 19th-century Straffan House.
The French chateaux-style feel remains with this long strip of luxury, flanked by meticulously manicured golf courses on a 550-acre Kildare estate.
It's an auspicious start to the K Club's 25th anniversary - Michael Smurfit's flagship, which hosted the Ryder Cup at the peak of the Celtic Tiger in 2006, isn't just back. It's bigger and better than ever.
Guilty pleasure
Deep baths, Gatsby-style chandeliers in the Media Puzzle bar (named after Dr Smurfit's Melbourne Cup-winning horse), kids' gift packs on check-in and a €1,200 glass of 1991 La Tâche from Burgundy on the room service menu leave you in little doubt as to the star-rating.
At times, it feels overblown (K Club logos on your rubber ducks, anyone?); at others, tastefully opulent. If you're spoiling yourselves, book a spa treatment and dinner at the River Room restaurant, whose dishes are celebrated in a handsome, 25th-anniversary cookbook (€39) this year.
Try the Castletownbere scallops with curried pineapple and fennel cannelloni, cauliflower purée and beetroot ice-cream for starters...
Insider intel
The K Club hosted a Celtic Tiger high with the 2006 Ryder Cup, and became something of a cautionary tale in the crash that followed. Through the ups and downs, its undulating, Arnold Palmer-designed golf courses have remained immaculate.
Prices for guests range from €90 to €145, but you can save further by booking as part of a package. The course hosts the 2016 Irish Open this May.
Cheap kick
The K Club's art collection can't have been cheap, but similar to the wonders on display in Dublin's Merrion Hotel or Kelly's Resort in Rosslare, viewing won't cost you an extra cent. The vibrant gallery of early and middle-period Jack B Yeats paintings is a highlight, and afternoon tea (€33pp) is an opportunity for non-residents to soak up the atmosphere.
Elsewhere, golf, shooting and fly-fishing are available for a fee, but the 16m-pool, estate walks, bikes and kids' club (in season) are included with your stay.
Top tip
The K Club isn't just on Dublin's doorstep. It's a short drive from Kildare Village (kildarevillage.com), the glorious Castletown House (castletown.ie) and the Irish National Stud (irishnationalstud.ie) with its foals, museum and gardens. Weekend sorted!
The leisure centre is a decent stroll from the hotel - part of which is outdoors, so think twice about the robe. The K Thai is a new addition, but the short bus transfer, bright lighting and variable-quality food didn't inspire us.
Get me there
The K Club (01 601-7200; kclub.ie) has a Gourmet Escape package bundling B&B in a superior room with a four-course meal in the River Room from €149pp (available until the end of March).
Going to press, it also had a neat, Five-Star Friday offer of B&B in a deluxe room with a four-course dinner and a bottle of house wine from €320 for two.
Its expansion is tasteful and assured and, in the quiet of January, we felt no loss to the warm and personable service.
NB: All prices subject to availability.

Kevin Hart spent a week living with David Beckham and the results are gold
'ello Mum it's Daaavid'
In a spot to promote H&M's Modern Essentials range, Kevin Hart spent a week in New York shadowing David Beckham to prepare for a role in a fictional biopic.
Needless to say, the results are hilarious, with Kevin encroaching just a little too much on David's personal space and not quite nailing the accent. On a side note, the new H&M range actually looks pretty damn cool.
Thanks to Airows for the tip.

Tim Cahill so rightly described about travel, A journey is greatest measured in close friends, than in miles". In providing much more alternatives and amenities, on the web travel websites have in fact made it far more confusing to figure out what they are selling, not much less so.

Now based on my client's trip, they are arranging to celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary and this will be their only international trip this year, so once again the Europe travel healthcare insurance coverage offered by the Europe tour operator supplied what they required for this 1 trip they have been taking.
We traveled to Europe two occasions with our son, who was below 2, and he was capable to reserve us the seats with the infant bassinet.

On Friday we drove off to the Post Office depot to pick up our new printing block, a chance purchase from eBay. The block itself is 9 inches square and about 2 inches high, made from several pieces of wood joined together, with the design made up of various metal shapes pressed into the wood. According to the seller it was originally used by Liberty to print fabrics, and looks like it might be one block from a larger repeated pattern.
It looked good just sat on the shelf, but obviously we couldn't have it and then not print from it, so yesterday we had a bit of an experiment. The thin, sharp metal surfaces were tricky to ink with the roller, so we ended up doing the fiddly bits with a brush. End result was great, a really sharp and interesting print. Perhaps a good chance to use our gold and silver inks, maybe on black paper... The colours of the image below have been inverted to show the pattern more clearly.

Say hello to what is likely Washington State's most hardcore Pizza delivery vehicle.
I have no clue where I'll put food. Trunk is 1st pick, luggage rack 2nd choice, and I suppose if necessary I can remove the passenger seat. Oh and there's space on the parcel shelf directly below the rollbar! This is going to fun (for a couple months until working 7 days/70 hours a week gets old). I can't wait for sunny days, getting paid to drive around.
I was a bit surprised that there were two interviews. More than I was expecting for a pizza delivery job, but Pagliachis seems to be a pretty well run business from the hour or so I saw of it. An old high-school friend is a shift lead there while going to school, which is cool.
Goal is to save every penny and make this spring/summer the best earning period of my life. Then... New things!

Blackhawks score five times in third period to get past slumping Oilers
Shane Jones, The Canadian Press
Published Thursday, February 7, 2019 8:50AM EST
EDMONTON -- Exploding for five goals in the third period has kept the Chicago Blackhawks on a roll.
Patrick Kane had a goal and an assist as the Blackhawks defeated the Edmonton Oilers 6-2 on Tuesday for their fifth-straight win.
"We know what we are doing is working and we are hanging in games," said Chicago captain Jonathan Toews. "Whether we are ahead or down a goal going into the third period, we can find ways to create offence and come out on top. It is nice for our team to win in different ways, it only adds to our confidence."
Erik Gustafsson, John Hayden, Dylan Strome, Drake Caggiula and Dominik Kahun also scored for the Blackhawks (21-24-9), who has managed to get back into the wild-card playoff race.
Leon Draisaitl scored both goals for Edmonton (23-25-5), which matched a season-high sixth-straight loss.
"Same type of thing as the last couple of games. We control a lot of the first two (periods), and then go to sleep in the third," said Oilers captain Connor McDavid. "I'm not sure what that is. We can talk all we want. We've just got to find a way to grab (the game) when it's going like that."
Cam Ward stopped 25 shots for the win in net.
Cam Talbot turned aside 23-of-27 shots for Edmonton before giving way to Mikko Koskinen, who made six saves.
Chicago struck first before the game was two minutes old when a Gustafsson point shot ticked off the side of defender Adam Larsson's leg and got past Talbot just four seconds into a power play.
Edmonton tied the game up on a power play of its own with three minutes left in the opening period when Draisaitl pounced on a rebound for his 30th goal of the season.
The Oilers made it 2-1 on a two-man advantage with just over a minute remaining as McDavid fed it across to Draisaitl, who scored again on a one-timer.
The Blackhawks tied the game four minutes into the third as an Edmonton turnover led to a goal by Hayden, and then surged into the lead 1:33 later when a Strome shot went through Darnell Nurse's legs and past Talbot.
Kane extended the lead to 4-2 just 28 seconds later when he lifted a stick to score his 32nd of the season. It extended his point streak to 12 games.
Switching Talbot out for Koskinen didn't turn the tide as the Blackhawks scored again a mere 27 seconds after on a goal by Caggiula, a former Oiler.
Edmonton allowed a fifth goal in the third period on the power play on a tally by Kahun with eight minutes left.
"It is nice to keep this roll going and finally turn things a bit," said Chicago coach Jeremy Colliton. "We have a bit of momentum and we are playing well. When you have the momentum and keep playing well, you usually get the results. We just need to keep pushing and we will get our points."
Both teams are back in action on Thursday as the Blackhawks return home to host the Vancouver Canucks and the Oilers head to Minnesota to play the Wild.
Notes: Oilers defenceman Oscar Klefbom returned to the lineup after missing the last 21 games with a broken finger on his left hand.

Ferndale Flower Farm and Florist : Triple Wren Farms
We first met this lady at a styled shoot, and about half an hour later low key asked her if she wanted to collab on a Boss Lady feature with us! Sarah of Triple Wren Farms is a pure joy to be around, always laughing and always finding ways to serve others. Every Boss Lady we feature has their own special strengths, Sarah's is her heart.
Please tell us a little about your business, what inspired you to begin it, and what your focus is!
Triple Wren Farms is a small cut flower farm and artisan florist located just north of Bellingham, WA. We grow stunning flowers and offer season-long internship programs and an amazing workshop series for new flower farmers. Seasonally, we have blueberries and an awesome pumpkin patch.
When the job that brought us to WA ended, we were considering moving back to the Southeast. Out of the blue, an acquaintance asked us to babysit his apple orchard and farm when his existing caretaker plans had to change. Right at this time I spied a cute display at our local library on Small Ag Business books which included a book called The Flower Farmer by Lynn Byczynski, and was struck with the new-to-me idea of growing flowers as a business. When the orchard owner said we could try to grow anything else we wanted to try, I decided to explore a flower business.... and that's how we began our adventure.
How do you work your teaching skills into your flower business and why did you decide to have an apprenticeship program?
I think that teaching is in both Steve's and my blood, and I probably bore my crew by teaching constantly as we work together. A well-educated team just works more intelligently, so I'm motivated in that way, but also I just want to share the joy of the WHY behind the WHAT we do. I also encourage my team to observe the plants and blooms at the farm in order to really see what's happening and to see what the flowers are telling us they need.
We teach design workshops in order to help others become comfortable with arranging flowers in a beautiful way, so that they can enjoy them better. This year we are teaching a series of six workshops designed to walk new growers and farmer-florists through a year of tasks and skills. Our most intense teaching program is our farmer internship program where we accept 1 or 2 interns per year to move to the farm and work alongside us for 7 months (our growing season). They learn what we do and why we do it in a deep way. These field hours are combined with 5 classroom hours each week where we follow a curriculum for training new farmers.
How do you balance being a #bosslady with having a family/life?
I balance it better in some seasons than in others. My family is the most important part of my life, but the work we do is how we make our living, so it needs due attention. I am actually working hard on this area this year, and if you'd like to know more of my thoughts about it you can check this out: https://www.triplewrenfarms.com/2018/01/14/is-it-worth-it/
The fact that Steve and I are both married and business partners means that we can both work to our strengths (which thankfully complement each other!), and we can trade off time being with the kids. For example, Steve does almost all of our delivery now, which means that although he is gone on very early morning Seattle runs several days a week during the growing season, I am home with the kids and can enjoy breakfast with them and have a morning family routine. On weekends, when I am busy doing weddings, Steve takes over and is an amazing Daddy to our kids. We have made it a priority to take at least one day off a week, where we stop working and focus on our family. We generally take Sunday off so we can go to church, worship together and enjoy a day without business interruptions.
What is a hardship or challenge you have had to overcome and how did you handle that?
We had the opportunity to grow our business really quickly - probably too quickly - and we both jumped in with both feet. This was exciting and quite the adventure, but we didn't grow our farm infrastructure and gain the experience that just comes with years of growing and so we hit bumps in the road when things didn't go as expected. We sacrificed sleep and worked physically much harder than we had been accustomed to. It was too long of a marathon and we paid for it a bit with our health. Now we're making good choices to work smarter, not just harder, and not pushing for dynamic growth.
If you could give someone starting their own BUSINESS any advice what would it be?
Oh goodness - there are so many things! I think that I would say don't bite off more than you can chew. Carefully budget your time. Schedule in uninterruptible time for you to think and organize your mind. Be careful not to jump into learning too many skills at once. If you're learning how to farm, how to work out logistics, the language of wholesaling, and solid business practices all at once, for example....... it might be too much. Overall - pace yourself. Make a plan for slow, measured growth and give yourself reasonable goals, then chase THAT dream.
If you could grab coffee with ANY #BossLady, alive or dead, who would it be?
Huge shout out to the one and only Emily McLaughlin for the gorgeous photos! Seriously people, check this lady out, her talent amazes us every time!

"Chiao and Balog"
It was a sunny day when Chiao and Babat, her elder sister, went to weed their camote patch at Pecha-ag, not far from their home. While about their task, they noticed a young man sitting under their house in Asokong. Realizing that the young man was not one of their known neighbors, they were reluctant to go home.
Babat, being the older one, remarked to Chiao, "You had best go home and entertain him in as much as you are younger and more beautiful than I". Being the younger one, Chiao obeyed her sister's advice and went home ahead to entertain the young man.
Chiao came to know the young man was Balog of Dutab and realizing that he had come from some distance away, she cooked camote and pi-sing. As soon as lunch was ready, Chiao and Balog were joined by Babat who had come home for the meal. Balog proudly introduced himself as a young man from Dutab who had come to conduct certain matters at Asokong. Whereupon he requested the sisters to prepare five jars of rice wine, informing them that he would be back in a few days to settle his debts with some of his kin at Embose in Asokong. Both innocently obliged their guest.
Shortly after, Balog and some of his skin returned to Asokong. He had not really come back to pay any debt as he had claimed but to wed the winsome Chiao. The five jars of rice wine he had ordered were used for this wedding ceremonies. Animals were also butchered. Although caught unaware of the intentions of Balog, Chiao consented to be his bride.
The couple settled in Pegdeyto. They had four children – Makichong, Padaoag, Mensi and Obanan.
By this time, c.a. 1700, the common ancestors of the lead families of Kabayan have made their residences fairly identifiable. At Dutab, Chiao and Balog would be the same persons from whom the Bejar, Kamora, Fianza of Kapañgan, Sinong, Fermin, Budikey and Gondales families descend with settlements from Pacso to Dutab, downstream.
To-to, married to Ba-ay, would lay the foundation, literally, of the Gondales family at Pacso with their construction the rest of the first remembered wooden house at Baay, Pacso.
Further downstream at Bolok, Achaoay, Kambobo would wed Bugan of Tinek and the couple would settle at Bakong, Dutab. From them would begin the Chaoal clan of Kabayan.
A flourishing trends between Kabayan and Tinek of clay pots, banga, and clay pipes, binanga would continue to people the kulos ni chanum or i-paway with migrants from the kalangoya district. Identified sources of these clay items would be Tinek and Sabañgan. Barter items from Kabayan would consist of gold, blankets and animals.
Copag of Naguey in Atok and Kangi of Magangan in Bokod are among the first settlers of Batan, Copag is remembered as a trader in animals (cows, pigs and dogs) who meets Kangi who comes to help Saloshan plant her palay. In this generation, majority of the ricefields in Gusaran, Kabajan and Dutab are owned by gusaran residents.
For the more stabilized and settled families if the Bagdao-Marogay marriage however, this generation, c.a. 1736-66, is a cattle-ranching generation with the identification of the earliest baknang.
Mensi, married ti Kansita, establishes residence at Gusaran and overseas his pasture lands at Insadong. This early, a sharing system exists between owner and cowhand. The couple is likewise engaged in ever-increasing rice terrace culture. They have two children, Kikdod and Dadjon.
A separation occurs between Mensi and Kansita and the former takes Babaya as his second wife, moving to Kabajan for residence, Mensi nevertheless maintains his first family. From the second marriage is born Copa-it.
Remembered as one of the wealthiest man of Kabajan is Padaoag who marries Saloshan and fathers Talen and Dongja It is said that he had more cows than there were people in Kabajan in his time. Extensive terrace building was also undertaken by Padaoag who paid for labor of terrace builders from Sabañgan. Other remembered terrace builders would come from the general Ahin-Kiangan area.

The Sales Commission Conundrum
Sales commissions are one of the ultimate win/win business arrangements. The commissioned sales person only gets paid if they actually perform, something that any good employer can appreciate. The problem usually occurs when the sales person is either too successful, or the sales person gets greedy and want more than their fair share.
As I learned my first day in law school - money makes people funny!
The Overly Successful Sales Professional
A sales person can be 'too successful' when they land that big contract with a supersized customer. Government military contracts, large automotive supplier 'needs' contracts, machine tool sales contracts, aerospace contracts, or even medical device contracts with large hospitals can fall into those categories. In many instances a sales person may earn as much or more in a given year than the owner or management executives of the company - and that is when the relationship can really get complicated.
When that happens, many times the owner or management of the company will seek to find ways to limit or even eliminate part of the commissions earned by the sales professional. When the relationship started the owner or manager would have been ecstatic to see the sales rolling in, however when it time to look at the profit and loss statement and the commission paid hits the bottom line, the ecstasy can turn to agony.
If you are a sales professional that has landed the 'whale' of a contract, and your employer doesn't want to pay you, you may find yourself in the unemployment line for doing too well. Your recovery will depend upon your terms of employment, whether you have a contract, and the actual specifics of how the customer was procured.
In Kentucky you have some protection under the wage and hour laws. KRS 337.010 provides in pertinent part that Wages include commissions and bonuses. KRS 337.055 provides that any employee that is discharged from employment shall be paid in full all wages earned by him no later than the next normal pay period following the date of dismissal or 14 days following dismissal - whichever is later. KRS 337.385 provides that any employer that pays an employee less than the wages to which the employee is entitled SHALL be liable for the full amount of such wages and an additional equal amount as liquidated damages, and for costs ans reasonable attorney's fees.
The liquidated damages provision in KRS 337.385 is a very effective tool to resolve any commission dispute in the early stages, and if the matter cannot be resolved the liquidated damages provide more than ample compensation for the wrongfully denied employee.
The Overly Greedy Sales Professional
Some greed int a sales professional can be a good thing. After all employers want their sales professionals to desire and strive for success. However, sometimes, the deal between the employer and the sales person just doesn't satisfy the sales person. It can be related to sales territory, products available to be sold, pricing issues, or even competitive products being offered by the sales person. There are several tools available to the aggrieved employer, each of which requires that the employee receive some form of consideration - or value- in exchange for the agreement.
Kentucky honors and enforces non-competition agreements. Generally, a non-competition agreement will be enforced if it is valid and reasonable. Louisville Cycle & Supply Co., Inc. v. Baach, 535 S.W.2d 230, 232 (Ky. 1976) In order to be reasonable the non-compete must serve to protect the legitimate interests of the employer. This includes the employers interests in terms of geography, the length of time, and the type of work to be performed.
In terms of geography, a local company that only sells in Kentucky cannot prevent an employee from working and selling in that same industry outside of Kentucky.
In terms of time, an employer cannot keep the employee out of the industry forever. A reasonable time can be anywhere from 6 months to 5 years, depending upon the facts and circumstances of that case.
In terms of type of industry, an employer in Fayette County cannot prevent a person that sold ladders from going and working as a janitor at a school in Fayette County.
The favorite tool of the financial and insurance industry. The Non-Solicitation Agreement is designed to protect a companies customers from being poached by a former sales representative. Essentially the Non-Solicitation Agreement provides that a former employee cannot go to the companies current customers or potential customers and take them to his new employer. The courts will honor such agreements and if properly prepared they can be a very effective tool in preserving a companies customer base.
A Confidentiality Agreement can provide for a duty by the former sales representative not to share sensitive company information like trade secrets, customer lists, proprietary processes or other secrets. By creating that duty, a company puts an enforceable burden on the former sales representative to protect this sensitive information that can be enforced in court.
Yes, money makes people funny - but there are ways to make sure that your interests are protected for both the sales professional and the employer. I will lead you with this adage - "Pigs get fat, but hogs get slaughtered." It is OK to desire wealth and to strive for it, however when you get too greedy - either as an employer or as a sales professional - you expose yourself to some serious and significant liability.

Charlotte Motor Speedway's previously scheduled October Saturday night playoff race has been moved to the next day, Sunday, Oct. 8, in a 2 p.m. start, the track announced on Thursday.
The move leaves no night races in the 10-event Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series playoffs. The event at the 1.5-mile Charlotte oval had been scheduled to run on Saturday night since 2002.
"We've heard from fans and from several drivers about how much fun it is to race during the daytime at Charlotte Motor Speedway," Marcus Smith, speedway president and general manager, said in a release. "A return to 'Daylight Racing Time' also builds on our commitment to being 'Fan first' by providing families with affordable, world-class entertainment on a Sunday afternoon."
Seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson, whose eight career victories at Charlotte leads all drivers, applauded the move. Johnson believes racing in the daylight will make for a more exciting race.
"Charlotte's so tricky, especially when the sun's out," Johnson said in the release. "And, the track's finally aging and getting to a place with a lot of character (so) that a day race will allow us to run so many more lanes and, I think, create such an entertaining and compelling race … I'm really excited for a hot, slick, day race."
Johnson won last year's playoff race at Charlotte, held on Sunday afternoon after rain postponed the scheduled Saturday night race.

Significant Points
General maintenance and repair workers are employed in almost every industry.
Most workers are trained on the job; others learn by working as helpers to other repairers or to construction workers such as carpenters, electricians, or machinery repairers.
Job openings should be plentiful due to significant turnover in this large occupation.
Nature of the Work
Most craft workers specialize in one kind of work, such as plumbing or carpentry. General maintenance and repair workers, however, have skills in many different crafts. They repair and maintain machines, mechanical equipment, and buildings and work on plumbing, electrical, and air-conditioning and heating systems. They build partitions, make plaster or drywall repairs, and fix or paint roofs, windows, doors, floors, woodwork, and other parts of building structures. They also maintain and repair specialized equipment and machinery found in cafeterias, laundries, hospitals, stores, offices, and factories. Typical duties include troubleshooting and fixing faulty electrical switches, repairing air-conditioning motors, and unclogging drains. New buildings sometimes have computer-controlled systems, requiring workers to acquire basic computer skills. For example, new air-conditioning systems often can be controlled from a central computer terminal. In addition, light sensors can be electronically controlled to turn off lights automatically after a set amount of time.
General maintenance and repair workers inspect and diagnose problems and determine the best way to correct them, frequently checking blueprints, repair manuals, and parts catalogs. They obtain supplies and repair parts from distributors or storerooms. Using common hand and power tools such as screwdrivers, saws, drills, wrenches, and hammers, as well as specialized equipment and electronic testing devices, these workers replace or fix worn or broken parts, where necessary, or make adjustments to correct malfunctioning equipment and machines.
General maintenance and repair workers also perform routine preventive maintenance and ensure that machines continue to run smoothly, building systems operate efficiently, and the physical condition of buildings does not deteriorate. Following a checklist, they may inspect drives, motors, and belts, check fluid levels, replace filters, and perform other maintenance actions. Maintenance and repair workers keep records of their work.
Employees in small establishments, where they are often the only maintenance worker, make all repairs, except for very large or difficult jobs. In larger establishments, their duties may be limited to the general maintenance of everything in a workshop or a particular area.
Working Conditions
General maintenance and repair workers often carry out several different tasks in a single day, at any number of locations. They may work inside of a single building or in several different buildings. They may have to stand for long periods, lift heavy objects, and work in uncomfortably hot or cold environments, in awkward and cramped positions, or on ladders. They are subject to electrical shock, burns, falls, cuts, and bruises. Most general maintenance workers work a 40-hour week. Some work evening, night, or weekend shifts or are on call for emergency repairs.
Those employed in small establishments often operate with only limited supervision. Those working in larger establishments frequently are under the direct supervision of an experienced worker.
General maintenance and repair workers held 1.3 million jobs in 2002. They were employed in almost every industry. Around 1 in 5 worked in manufacturing industries, almost evenly distributed through all sectors. About 17 percent worked for different government bodies. Others worked for wholesale and retail firms and for real-estate firms that operate office and apartment buildings.
Many general maintenance and repair workers learn their skills informally on the job. They start as helpers, watching and learning from skilled maintenance workers. Helpers begin by doing simple jobs, such as fixing leaky faucets and replacing lightbulbs, and progress to more difficult tasks, such as overhauling machinery or building walls. Some learn their skills by working as helpers to other repair or construction workers, including carpenters, electricians, or machinery repairers.
Necessary skills also can be learned in high school shop classes and postsecondary trade or vocational schools. It generally takes from 1 to 4 years of on-the-job training or school, or a combination of both, to become fully qualified, depending on the skill level required. Because a growing number of new buildings rely on computers to control various of their systems, general maintenance and repair workers may need basic computer skills, such as how to log onto a central computer system and navigate through a series of menus. Usually, companies that install computer-controlled equipment provide on-site training for general maintenance and repair workers.
Graduation from high school is preferred for entry into this occupation. High school courses in mechanical drawing, electricity, woodworking, blueprint reading, science, mathematics, and computers are useful. Mechanical aptitude, the ability to use shop mathematics, and manual dexterity are important. Good health is necessary because the job involves much walking, standing, reaching, and heavy lifting. Difficult jobs require problem-solving ability, and many positions require the ability to work without direct supervision.
Many general maintenance and repair workers in large organizations advance to maintenance supervisor or become a craftworker such as an electrician, a heating and air-conditioning mechanic, or a plumber. Within small organizations, promotion opportunities are limited.
Job Outlook
Job openings should be plentiful. General maintenance and repair is a large occupation with significant turnover, and many job openings should result from the need to replace workers who transfer to other occupations or stop working for other reasons.
Employment of general maintenance and repair workers is expected to grow about as fast as average for all occupations through 2012. Employment is related to the number of buildings—for example, office and apartment buildings, stores, schools, hospitals, hotels, and factories—and the amount of equipment needing maintenance and repair. However, as machinery becomes more advanced and requires less maintenance, the need for general maintenance and repair workers diminishes.
Median hourly earnings of general maintenance and repair workers were $14.12 in 2002. The middle 50 percent earned between $10.61 and $18.48. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $8.25, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $22.78. Median hourly earnings in the industries employing the largest numbers of general maintenance and repair workers in 2002 are shown in the following tabulation:
Local government $14.83
Elementary and secondary schools 14.01
Activities related to real estate 11.79
Lessors of real estate 11.64
Traveler accommodation 10.58
Some general maintenance and repair workers are members of unions, including the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees and the United Automobile Workers.
Related Occupations
Some duties of general maintenance and repair workers are similar to those of carpenters; pipelayers, plumbers, pipefitters, and steamfitters; electricians; and heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics. Other duties are similar to those of coin, vending, and amusement machine servicers and repairers; electrical and electronics installers and repairers; electronic home entertainment equipment installers and repairers; and radio and telecommunications equipment installers and repairers.

Scholastic, the global children's publishing, education and media company, is giving a chance to Filipino writers living in Asia to submit a short synopsis and the opening pages of their unpublished chapter book or novel and stand a chance to be shortlisted to receive a review and written feedback by the man who discovered J.K. Rowling, Mr. Barry Cunningham, on their submission.
In partnership with the Philippine Board on Books for Young People (PBBY), You Write to Me, I'll Write to You is a manuscript critique initiative of the Scholastic Asian Book Award (SABA) in an effort to further encourage and inspire Asian writers. The manuscript critique initiative aspires to motivate writers while assisting them to get their manuscript in shape and recognizing excellence in Asian writings.
A total of 6 entries (the brief synopses and opening pages of 6 manuscripts) will be shortlisted to receive a review and written feedback from Mr. Cunningham, and only the most outstanding entry from the shortlist will receive a review of the complete manuscript.
"It is truly remarkable to be able to work with a prolific name like Barry Cunningham in the international children's literature scene to provide his critique and review on unpublished manuscripts written by Filipinos living in Asia," said Joyce A. Bautista, Trade Manager of Scholastic Philippines. "It will be a privilege to unearth some of the most talented Filipino writers in Asia and a chance not to be missed by them to have their manuscripts critiqued and reviewed by Mr. Cunningham."
"The birth of this idea came from the Scholastic Asian Book Award (SABA) and we hope that through this initiative, more Filipino writers in Asia will submit their manuscripts to the SABA and stand a chance to get their work published," she added.
"This is a great opportunity for Filipino writers," said Tarie Sabido, Chair of the PBBY. "This initiative will stir up even more interest in writing novels for children and teens and will help those who wish to submit to the Scholastic Asian Book Award. For the winners, getting feedback from Barry Cunningham will be a very exciting and valuable experience."
Mr. Cunningham, who is the Publisher of Chicken House Books – home of great reading – has had an impressive career in publishing. He has worked with all the great names in children's books including Roald Dahl and became one of the best-known names in publishing after he signed up J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
You Write to Me, I'll Write to You, is open to all Filipino writers living in Asia, who are 18 years of age and above. Manuscripts submitted must be chapter books or novels intended for children to young adults between age 6 and 18 years old, and must be Asian in content. The closing date for all submission entries is April 2, 2017, 5:00pm (Philippines time). Selected entries will be informed via email in June.

Reasons for Designation
A standing cross is a free standing upright structure, usually of stone,
mostly erected during the medieval period (mid 10th to mid 16th centuries AD).
Standing crosses served a variety of functions. In churchyards they served as
stations for outdoor processions, particularly in the observance of Palm
Sunday. Elsewhere, standing crosses were used within settlements as places for
preaching, public proclamation and penance, as well as defining rights of
sanctuary. Standing crosses were also employed to mark boundaries between
parishes, property, or settlements. A few crosses were erected to commemorate
battles. Some crosses were linked to particular saints, whose support and
protection their presence would have helped to invoke. Crosses in market
places may have helped to validate transactions. After the Reformation, some
crosses continued in use as foci for municipal or borough ceremonies, for
example as places for official proclamations and announcements; some were the
scenes of games or recreational activity.
Standing crosses were distributed throughout England and are thought to have
numbered in excess of 12,000. However, their survival since the Reformation
has been variable, being much affected by local conditions, attitudes and
religious sentiment. In particular, many cross-heads were destroyed by
iconoclasts during the 16th and 17th centuries. Less than 2,000 medieval
standing crosses, with or without cross-heads, are now thought to exist. The
oldest and most basic form of standing cross is the monolith, a stone shaft
often set directly in the ground without a base. The most common form is the
stepped cross, in which the shaft is set in a socket stone and raised upon a
flight of steps; this type of cross remained current from the 11th to 12th
centuries until after the Reformation. Where the cross-head survives it may
take a variety of forms, from a lantern-like structure to a crucifix; the more
elaborate examples date from the 15th century. Much less common than stepped
crosses are spire-shaped crosses, often composed of three or four receding
stages with elaborate architectural decoration and/or sculptured figures; the
most famous of these include the Eleanor crosses, erected by Edward I at the
stopping places of the funeral cortege of his wife, who died in 1290. Also
uncommon are the preaching crosses which were built in public places from the
13th century, typically in the cemeteries of religious communities and
cathedrals, market places and wide thoroughfares; they include a stepped base,
buttresses supporting a vaulted canopy, in turn carrying either a shaft and
head or a pinnacled spire. Standing crosses contribute significantly to our
understanding of medieval customs, both secular and religious, and to our
knowledge of medieval parishes and settlement patterns. All crosses which
survive as standing monuments, especially those which stand in or near their
original location, are considered worthy of protection.
The standing cross on Lyddington Green survives as a well-preserved example of a medieval wayside cross which is believed to stand near to its original position. In addition to its primary function as a religious focus, it is believed that it also served as the market cross for the medieval market which was held in the village. The survival of the cross illustrates its continuing importance to all passers-by and residents as a landscape feature. The mound will be expected to preserve evidence for the construction and use of the cross, in addition to structural details such as further steps.
The monument includes a standing cross situated on a mound on Lyddington
Green, located 130m north west of The Bede House.
The standing cross consists of a stone step, a socket stone, and a shaft
standing on a low grass covered mound measuring approximately 0.75m high by
approximately 6m in diameter. The cross is Listed Grade II.
The stone step is level with the surrounding surface level of the mound and
measures 1.38sq m. It supports a socket stone which measures 0.8sq m by 0.43m
The shaft is rectangular and measures 0.37m by 0.26m. It is 0.95m high and is
mounted in the socket stone. The shaft is fluted, with traces of decoration on
the west and south faces. There is some damage on the east face of the shaft
and evidence of repair. A 0.9m by 0.6m slab is located on the mound west of
the cross, level with the surface and is believed to be a disturbed step. It
is included in the scheduling.

text: Larry Moran October 4, 2016 at 9:45 pm Textbook authors have been discussing this issue for decades. Most of us understand that there's a statistical mechanistic definition of entropy and we understand that the simple metaphor of disorder/randomness is not perfect.However, we have all decided that it is not our place to teach thermodynamics in a biochemistry textbook. We have also decided that the simple metaphor will suffice for getting across the basic concepts we want to teach. I've talked about this with Cox and Nelson (the authors of the Lehninger textbook) and with Don and Judy Voet (the authors of another popular textbook). Sal may not like our decision but it was a very deliberate decision to dumb down a complex subject that doesn't belong in biochemistry textbooks. It's not because we don't know any better.There are a dozen such issues in my textbook ... cases where difficult terms are deliberately over-simplified. On the other hand, there are some terms in my book that I refused to simplify even if other authors did so.

Flance is thankful for the work Old Newsboys accomplishes for children in our community. Read more about Flance in the Old Newsboys Post-Dispatch article HERE.
Flance's Inclement Weather Plan
We would like to discuss our inclement weather plan. Our first and most important priority is to insure the safety of all our families. While the decision to open, close, or delay the school start time can be complicated due to changing and unpredictable weather occurrences, it is our goal to inform our families as soon as possible using a variety of communication methods.
We will exercise one of the following options depending on weather conditions:
1. Schools will OPEN AT REGULAR TIMES, 7am-6pm
2. Schools will open on a 2-HOUR DELAYED START, 9am-6pm
3. Schools will CLOSE. If the decision to close is necessary, all scheduled school events, community events that utilize school facilities, etc. will be cancelled.
How does Flance Early Learning Center make the decision to cancel school?
- First and foremost, we take into consideration the safety of our children, families and teachers.
- Secondly, we understand that families need to go to work, so the decision to close is a serious decision.
- Third, we need to assess the storms intensity, timing and length of storm.
- Fourth, the temperature and wind chill. This is a concern, particularly since we serve infants and toddlers.
- Finally, we need to consider our own ability to manage our own parking lot and sidewalks.
- We listen to the weather forecast and the impact the forecast will have on our families.
- We assess the area school closures.
- We discuss with other members of our administrative team.
- Then, we make the decision.
You can watch and listen for school closings and late starts on the following station:
- KMOV Channel 4 look for THE FLANCE EARLY LEARNING CENTER
- KSDK Channel 5 look for FLANCE EARLY LEARNING CENTER
- Flance Early Learning Center Facebook page
- Flance front website page, flancecenter.org
Stay warm and safe!

The Piano Guys answered your questions!
In the fourth Face to Face event, the Piano Guys played music (including a mash-up they arranged just for this event), told their story (did you know they got started in a piano store?), and answered questions from youth all over the world.
Whether they were answering questions about living their standards or about developing talents, the Piano Guys seemed to have an important theme: When we put God first, everything else falls into place.
"The advice we give to anyone who comes to us is—number one: Give your life to God," said Jon Schmidt.
He and the rest of the group gave examples about how they work hard to do that in their families and professional lives and as they travel.
They gave a lot of credit to their families.
"I love how they talked about their wives and how they have supported them and how much their kids have taught them while they teach their kids," said Samantha S., 14, who attended the event. "After tonight, I want to try and strengthen my relationships with my siblings by spending more time with them."
The Piano Guys are all about using their talents to uplift and serve others, but as Steven Sharp Nelson said, you don't have to be a professional musician to bless other people's lives.
"Pray to God to bless you to be able to use the gifts He has given you to bless other people," he said. "You don't have to be a professional to make a difference in someone's life."
Watch the entire event on the Youth Activities website.
