Complimentary Webinar
Multi- Year Trend of Reduced Natural Hazard Activity Continued in 2015
Each year, CoreLogic® analyzes and evaluates the number and severity of natural hazard events that occurred across the U.S. in order to help protect and restore homeowners and businesses from financial catastrophe. We strive to educate and empower our clients with granular hazard risk data and services that they in turn use to provide adequate insurance protection for homeowners and business owners so that natural hazards do not result in financial loss.
The report findings show that 2015 was a quiet year in terms of natural hazard activity. Overall, the trend of fewer natural hazard events and decreased damage totals that occurred in 2014 continued in 2015. However, there were still record-setting wildfire and flood events that caused significant damage, as well as increases in earthquake activity that reveal important insight into changing dynamics for this peril.
Presenters: Dr. Thomas Jeffery, Senior Hazard Scientist, Maiclaire Bolton, Senior Product Manager and Curtis McDonald, Product Manager at CoreLogic.

This question is regarding streaking on a mirror. When I clean it, no matter how I clean it, I don't see streaking. Then, a day later it shows a film like streak usually in the same places on the mirror. Rubbing it with a dry cloth only makes it smear. Any ideas?

Walmart sells a great window cleaner. It's in the automotive section in a black bottle. It's called "Invisible Glass".
I was a housecleaner for many years. Granny is right about "Invisible Glass". It is alcohol based and does not leave a film like the blue cleaner. In rooms that were not used much the mirrors would stay clean for 6 months. The other possibility is that you have something on your mirror that isn't really coming off. Try a different cleaner, and then clean the mirror with the Invisible Glass. Invisible Glass is not a powerful cleaner. It saved me a lot of work.

Anti-Mormons and Evangelicals don't like Mormons much and have even re-defined the word cult to fit their own bias. But the definitive arbitor of the mother tongue, The Oxford Englsih Dictionary, says a cult is "• noun 1 a system of religious worship directed towards a particular figure or object. 2 a small religious group regarded as strange or as imposing excessive control over members. 3 something popular or fashionable among a particular section of society. " http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/cult?view=uk
None of those defintions fit The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints but that hasn't stopped the anti-Mormons from making up their own version and using it like a club with which to bash Mormons. Now before all the anti-Mormons swell up with indignation and claim that one of the defintions, strange, fits Mormons, I would like to ask acccording to who? Just how strange are Mormons? In what way? You may take exception to some of our doctrine or maybe our history but those are a long way from strange when you consider what a genuine cult is. Parsing a word or two and then claiming it is enough to brand the group in its entirety is taking the defintion out of context. You will be hard pressed to find anything genuinely strange about Mormons. In fact, there may be no other denomination that fits All-American better.

Selected pieces from Holly's collection of occasion-wear hats, bridal head pieces, and commissioned accessories for her eclectic clientele were on display at The Polytechnic society Falmouth over Easter week.
Named 'Pluven' meaning Feather in Cornish because of Holly's passion for feather work, we were able to travel through the narrative of conception to creation; from the natural inspirations with a British heritage twist, to the furniture and tools creating an in-situ studio process, to the fantastical and elegant headwear displayed for perusal.
But don't worry if you missed out, the event has been summarized bellow and in the following photos.
A whimsical woodland flower display, intertwined with headpieces atop sculptural birch and steel stands...
British springtime flowers were collected and curated by local florist Marisa Martin in a range of vintage medicine bottles inherited from Holly's chemist Grandfather.
Upon entering, one was met with a sort of natural opulence - a fusion of eucalyptus scent, sculptural and fresh flora, an array of hues and qualities of the headpieces.
Throughout the exhibition there was a great deal of sparkling, buzzing conversation, curiosity and compliments from visitors. Millinery, floristry and sculpture joined in a riveting visual display striking a chord between the natural and the man-made.
If milliners are the sculptors of the fashion world, then this exhibition really epitomised what that can mean. With many comments that they are art pieces in their own right, as well as key statement pieces in an outfit, the question was raised; does one tailor the hat to the outfit or vice versa?!
With a visit to Holly's studio in Truro, you can collaborate on an answer to this intriguing question - whatever the event you may require a piece for...
With Special thanks to Simon Stallard, Nik Prisk, Zak the welder, Marisa Martin, Karen Martin, Beehive Bars, Emma Griffin, Jezebel Peters, Hannah Jordan, Lydia Conway, Sarah Alexandra, Kip Kaeolor, Crystal Lily, Jen Ailes, Natasha Easterbrook, Sinead Kelly, Tegen Foote, Helen Young and all of the staff and volunteers at The Poly.

What Causes Blisters?
Blisters are usually the result of burns or continuous rubbing or chaffing of the skin. A blister may form when the skin has been damaged by friction, heat, cold or chemical exposure. If you touch something very hot, a little bubble filled with a watery fluid soon forms under the skin. This is a blister.
Sometimes a blister forms when a shoe rubs against a toe or heel. The fluid in the blister is called lymph. The lymph aids in protecting the burned skin and prevent the burn from hurting too much. The covering of a blister protects the tissues beneath if from becoming infected. Therefore, it is best to leave the blister unbroken.
Don't "pop" the blister; the skin covering the blister helps protect it from infection. Gently wash the area with mild soap and water or a cleansing towel and then apply antibacterial cream. Cover it with gauze and secure with hypoallergenic tape to help protect the skin and prevent infection. Change the dressing at least once a day and wear different shoes until the blister heals.

On 31st January 2018, Baroness Lister asked Her Majesty's Government 'whether they have a policy goal to reduce income inequality; and if so, what is their strategy for achieving that goal.' The Archbishop of York, Most Revd John Sentamu, asked a follow-up question:
The Archbishop of York: My Lords, does the noble Lord agree with Wilkinson and Pickett in The Spirit Level that equal societies, in terms of income, are much happier societies and that income inequality leads people not to be happy? Does he further agree that being in work does not mean that you have income equality? We have a lot of hard-pressed families on poverty wages, hence the food banks. What are the Government going to do to create this income equality, where we can all become happier people? Continue reading "Archbishop asks government about income inequality"

It's a science fiction vision of the future – a pilotless flying taxi, where travellers 'hail' it with an app – then just step in to be whisked to their destination.West Brom fans buy season ticket for homeless man who'd never seen football match
That future just became a step closer, as Dubai agreed to take delivery of a flying taxi which will take wing before the end of the year.
Dubai aims to use autonomous vehicles for 25% of travel by 2030.
The two-seater Volocopter can take off without needing a runway – or a pilot – and can recharge in just 40 minutes.
It's capable of fully pilotless flight, similar to a drone, but for its five years of tests in Dubai, there will be a human pilot to ensure nothing will go wrong.
The electric vehicle has 18 rotors, and can reach a top speed of 62mph – but it's only capable of flying for 17 minutes.
Flying Ubers will be in the air by 2020, firm claims
Uber said earlier this year it hoped to build 'vertiports', which will connect people's homes and their offices – and aims to launch airborne taxis which can travel 50 to 100 miles.
Other firms such as Airbus have already promised to have 'flying taxis' on test flights this year.
Airbus has claimed that a full-sized prototype will take flight by the end of this year, the aerospace group's chief executive said in January.
Airbus says that the vehicle would be self-piloted, and the aim would be for people to book the vehicle using an app, similar to car-sharing schemes.
It would seat one person, Airbus says.
One hundred years ago, urban transport went underground, now we have the technological wherewithal to go above ground,' Airbus CEO Tom Enders said,, 'We are in an experimentation phase, we take this development very seriously.'

Canada Post has said that in the event of a strike, postal delivery will continue with possible "minor delays."
Canada Post workers to begin rotating strikes Monday
The union representing Canada Post workers says rotating strikes will begin at one minute at 12:01 a.m. Monday in Victoria, Edmonton, and Windsor and at 1:01 a.m. in Halifax.
The strikes in those cities will last for 24 hours, and if no deal is reached in the meantime, other as-yet unnamed cities could be affected subsequently, said Emilie Tobin, a spokesperson for the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW).
"Canada Post had the opportunity this weekend to stop any postal disruption on Monday, but instead, as they have for almost a year, they refused to talk about the issues that matter to our members," said Mike Palecek, CUPW national president, in a statement published on the union's website Sunday.
The union filed a strike notice earlier this week after 10 months of negotiations to renew collective agreements.
Palecek said key demands by postal workers relate to job security, an end to forced overtime and overburdening, better health and safety measures, service expansion and equality for Rural and Suburban Mail Carriers.
He said the job action will continue until "Canada Post get serious about bargaining."
Lise-Lyne Gélineau, president of CUPW's Montreal Chapter, said members did not want to go on strike, but the ball is now in the employer's court.
The growing popularity of online shopping has led to an increased workload for postal workers, she said. However, on Saturday, the corporation refused a proposal to evaluate postal routes by the volume of mail, Gélineau said.
In an email to The Canadian Press on Sunday, Canada Post said it has responded to "many of the issues raised by the union" and has "tabled a significant offer that includes wage increases, job security and improved benefits, and that does not require any concessions."
But Gélineau said Canada Post president and CEO Jessica McDonald's conciliatory tone has not been matched by a real opening at the bargaining table.
Canada Post has stated in the event of a strike, postal delivery will continue with possible "minor delays." The union has committed itself to continue delivering pension and social assistance cheques, as it has done in the past.
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers, which in Quebec is affiliated with the FTQ (Fédération des travailleurs et travailleuses du Québec, or Quebec Federation of Labour), has about 50,000 members in Canada, including 42,000 in urban areas and 8,000 in rural or suburban areas.

Open Map Tool Anyone Can Use to Explore Opportunity Zones Online
Free mapping tool from Smart Growth America lets you explore the new Opportunity Zones, with many helpful data layers including brownfields!
Last December, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act created a new community development program aimed at encouraging long-term private capital investment in America's low-income urban and rural communities. Introduced by Senators Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Tim Scott (R-SC), the federal Opportunity Zones program provides three scalable tax incentives for investors to re-invest their unrealized capital gains into Opportunity Funds dedicated to investing in distressed communities.
To help ensure the new program delivers on its promise to improve lives by improving communities, Smart Growth America created the LOCUS Opportunity Zone Navigator, an easy-to-use, interactive tool for the individuals and organizations interested in real estate, policy, and business, economic, and community development activities in America's newly designated Opportunity Zones. Along with LOCUS' additional Opportunity Zones resources and recommendations, the new online mapping tool will help you understand:
- What are Opportunity Zones and where are they?
- What's in them and who calls them home?
- What is an Opportunity Fund and how can you create one?
- What type of investment and revitalization opportunities are available in each Opportunity Zone, based on a variety of their economic, environmental, demographic, housing, and infrastructure characteristics?
- What can cities, philanthropies, advocates, and the private sector do now?
Access the LOCUS Opportunity Zone Navigator
The LOCUS Opportunity Zone Navigator is an interactive mapping tool that allows users to search designated census tracts for transit, environmental, economic, housing, and affordability information. It is intended to guide Opportunity Zone stakeholders in better understanding the economic, environmental, demographic, housing, and infrastructure characteristics of a designated Opportunity Zone census tract and in turn, the type of development that will maximize public and private returns on investment and benefit the residents there.
Using the Opportunity Zone Navigator
To view the boundaries of the Opportunity Zone census tracts
Turn on the "Opportunity Zones and Transit," "Zones with Brownfields," "Population Density," "Affordability," or "Commercial/ Industrial Jobs" layers, located in the upper lefthand corner of the map.
To locate a specific location by name or address
Click on the grey magnifying glass located in the lower left of the map.
To view layer-specific information
Turn on each data layer to display the following information by selecting a census tract. Click here for a comprehensive data dictionary.
To view layer-specific information
Select only that layer whose data you wish to view and click on the census tract you would like to learn more about. The "Transit Station" and Brownfields" layers can be turned on at all times. If all other layers are selected, you will only be able to view the data displayed by the "Opportunity Zones and Transit" layer.
To view data beyond the census tract level
The widget panel occupying the bottom or righthand side of the map depicts aggregate information about the census tracts captured by the zoom of the map. For example, the closer you zoom in on the map, the less census tracts you capture. The widget panel will display aggregate information about that small number of captured census tracts. If you are zoomed in on an area that does not contain Opportunity Zones, the widget panels will display "No Data Available" messages.
The further you zoom out on the map, the more census tracts you capture. The widget panel will display aggregate information about that larger number of captured census tracts.
Expanding widgets (if panel occupies the right of the map)
In order to view the "MSA/County," "H + T as % of 80 AMI," "Population," and "Jobs" widgets for an area zoom, click the three vertical dots next to each widget title. This function will collapse any of the 6 widgets.

Rebecca Taylor (composer) and Nina Gregory (lyricist) have been writing together for over 10 years. Their first major work is Shushan, first performed by The Artfully Reliable Theatre Society, of which they are the founders, in February 2012 at The Court Theatre, Pendley. They also write comedy songs and sketches.
Rebecca is a piano and singing teacher, teaching both in Aylesbury schools and her
own studio. See www.ivorytinklers.co.uk.
She also draws on many years of experience of singing and acting in musical theatre,
including as a principal soloist. Roles have included 'Mabel Stanley' in Pirates of Penzance,
'Liesl' in The Sound of Music, 'Lois Lane/Bianca' in Kiss Me Kate and 'Hodel' in Fiddler on the Roof, to name a few. Although she still performs on occasion, her particular interest now lies in writing and producing musical theatre.
Nina Gregory has been writing from a very young age, and has had a variety of poems,
short stories and articles published in anthologies, magazines and newspapers. With
a partner, she also had a novel published some years ago, although it is now out
of print. With a number of musical ventures on the go at the moment, the great British
novel has been once again moved to the back burner - it seems that every time Nina
opens these files she spends so much time revising what has already been written
that she does not move on to further chapters, much to the displeasure of a number
of her students and friends who have insisted that they appear in its pages, and
who wish to see themselves immortalised in print as soon as possible!
The Artfully Reliable Theatre Society has recently performed Frankenstein's Creature,
the first major work of Andrew Dimond (composer) and Charles Davey (lyricist) in
May 2014 at The Court Theatre, Pendley.
Andrew Dimond graduated from Bath Spa University in 2008, having specialised in performance as a clarinettist, and in the operas of Richard Wagner. He has performed with a variety of orchestras in and around Bath, Bristol and South Wales, including Bath Opera and the National Youth Orchestra of Wales. Andrew has been the Music Director of The Artfully Reliable Theatre Society since its formation in 2011.
Charles Davey is the author of three novels and a number of short stories, and he currently owns a cafe in Wallingford. Before his latest business venture, Charles had various jobs as an English teacher, computer salesman, cabbie, computer media technician and logistics manager, all of which have provided him with a wealth of interesting experiences to draw upon in his writing. In addition to writing, Charles has sung lead roles in all of our previous productions.

What is Duolite?
Duolite is a unique two-in-one shade. Using two different types of shade cloth for two options of light filtration. For instance, you can use a semi-opaque fabric or a room-darkening fabric and it could be mounted with a sheer fabric to gain two functioning shades to use for your windows! Hunter Douglas provides many color and fabric options for this product. This photo also shows a Duette Vertiglide that traverses nicely for a sliding patio door.
This photo shows the room darkening shade on the bottom half and the sheer option on the top half. This would be great for a room with a T.V. with a glare problem or a bedroom to gain total room darkening and yet still have the option to bring in the light with a sheer using the other shade.
Hunter Douglas Duolite shades can offer you many solutions on how you want the light to enter your home. LEARN MORE
I think you'll love the way these shades work for you! Give me a call to set up an appointment to find out more!

The financial crisis of 2007-2009 has resulted in the assessment of the financial industry operations. Before the crisis it was long believed that the markets are self-regulatory and do not require regulatory bodies to govern them. However, the crisis invoked the development of perceptions that were quite opposite of the past view. Strong believers of the self-regulatory markets such as Alan Greenspan have had changed views because of the financial crisis and led them to agree to the problems that the old belief had had. This case discusses the proceedings which led up to the AIG's bailout. The discussion also continues until after this bailout. The case also debates on the role of the external and internal factors causing the AIG crisis. It is aimed at the prevention of such a crisis in the future.
1- How did the Corporate Structure of AIG contribute to its failure?
2- Describe how the regulatory environment contributed to market reliance on AIG and how that reliance exacerbated financial market problems?
3- Compare the operations of AIG-FP to that for insurance firms. Describe how the practices of AIG-FP contributed to its failure.
4- Broadly describe regulations that a) would have prevented the financial market problems caused by AIG and b) can prevent a recurrence of these problems?

Face Aesthetics
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles to relax them and eliminate dynamic lines of the upper part of the face; namely crow's feet (lines on sides of eyes when one smiles), frown lines( also known as number 11 lines between the eyebrows) and the horizontal forehead lines. Also, botox can erase bunny lines(lines between nose and eyes), dimpled chin and vertical neck bands.
In addition to the above common indications, botox can also be used to correct a gummy smile or make a square jaw more slender. It is also used to treat excessive underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis) and migraine.
During your first consutation for facial wrinkles,Dr. Vrushali will evaluate your skin for static and dynamic lines, valleys and plateaus and all the problem areas will be identified.Then depending on the problem area, the client's expectations and choice, a suitable treatment, botox or filler or PRP or a non surgical face lift is suggested and its implications are discussed.
If Botox is the treatments of choice, Dr.Vrushali will do a careful evaluation as to where to administer the injections and how many units. After the client completely understands the procedure, what results can be expected, post care, the client will be readied for the procedure with an anesthetic cream for half hour. Tiny injections of Botox will be administered directly into the target muscles. The client is given post procedure care and can get back to routine almost immediately. The client is ordinarily called after 2 weeks for a follow up or touch up, if necessary.
Results begin to show from the 3rd day and complete results come in 7 - 14 days. The results last from 4 to 6 months.
A lot creams are available in the market that claim to have a botox mimetic action. What needs to be understood is that Botox is injected directly into the muscle which is quite deep, even below the pad of fat below the skin. So a cream massaged onto the face will not reach the target muscle and cannot give a botox like result but only temporarily hydrates the skin and making the lines less apparent.
A lot of people feel Botox is expensive. But people spend so much in buying fancy expensive branded antiaging creams that only temporarily plump up the lines. Whereas Botox is a very wise investment with a target oriented approach and cost effective too.
It is very important to get your Botox done from a trained dermatologist. Dr. Vrushali has devised a list of 10 questions that one must ask their doctor before getting botoxed..

At the beginning of my separation, after my kids and I had moved out and we had started the visitation schedule, I clearly remember one of the first weekends my kids were gone. At the end of the weekend, my then fifteen-year-old daughter walked through the front door of our home and straight into my arms, in tears and sobs.
It had been a very difficult weekend. Lots of arguing and crying and stress, according to her account. And my heart broke into another million pieces, especially as I was still in heartbreak mode myself. We were a fragile household those days. Everything hurt. All pain was magnified.
And in that moment, this is what I wanted to do: I wanted to text something long and inappropriate and unkind, like, "You should be ashamed of yourself," or "Don't you ever…again…" or even simply, "Your daughter walked in crying…just thought you should know." Send.
But I didn't.
Okay, I did. But I didn't send those texts to my child's father. I sent them instead to a friend who would hear my heart and not judge and let me process without getting into anything with my soon-to-be-ex-husband.
But it was so tempting to give out a piece of my mind. The Mama Bear in me was all primed and ready to pounce. But I realized – even in my daughter's pain…even in my own pain – that doing that would have done no good. Because the moment we separated, I stopped being my former husband's partner and self-appointed messenger. In fact, at that time I was probably the very last person he wanted advice from.
I have a friend who, a couple years' post-divorce, still gets texts from the ex-spouse pointing out how he should be parenting better. His ex- hasn't learned yet that she is no longer his messenger and that she's actually making matters worse.
So, sweet single mom, is this you? Is your ex-husband failing your child in any way? Does it break your heart? (Of course it does.) Here are a couple thoughts on how to handle it with integrity.
First, and I'll say it again, do not contact your ex in anger. Do not tell him how to parent. He is a grown man, and odds are, your words will fall on deaf ears.
So what can you do?
Comfort your child when she is hurting. Hold her. Tell her you're sorry. Wipe her tears away. Help her to calm down. Remind her you love her. Remind her God loves her. Remind her God sees it all.
Listen to her and believe her, and yet (and I say this with all gentleness), remember that you are going to more than likely go off of just her child's perspective of the story. So keep in mind that sometimes kids can be overdramatic. And yet, exhibit to her that you trust her, so that she will feel comfortable to share with you again if there's another rough incident.
Empower her. At that time, my fifteen-year-old daughter asked if she could get out of visitation. I honored her request enough to talk with my attorney, then I sat her down and told her the reality of the uphill fight that would be and we decided together not to pursue it. So instead, we talked about ways to deal with difficult people in your life, a skill she will need no matter what situation she finds herself in. And I had her start meeting with my mentor, someone she could talk to who is much wiser than me, and unbiased. I knew her circumstances weren't going to be changing for a while, so I helped her learn to accept her reality.
If necessary, fight for her. I came to a place of deciding I would not fight my ex-spouse on anything unless it had to do with my children's safety or them living as normal of a life as they could. But when situations did come up that put my children in harm's way, you better believe I contacted my lawyer and looked into my options. So if your child is in danger, now is not the time to lay low. You must become the parent that your child is safe with, if sadly, it can't be both.
Finally, pray for her. I prayed my kids' out the door before most visitation times, and when they were gone, I would ask God to hold them and protect them and give them wisdom, all things he could do so much better than I ever could.
Parenting is hard enough when there are two parents who get along. What you're doing – raising your child on your own, let alone with some potential relational obstacles – is monumentally challenging and so very courageous. Even when your child is failed by her other parent, God will help you fill in the gaps by giving you wisdom and strength.

Der Schotte Dave Broom informiert seit vielen Jahren detailliert über unterschiedliche alkoholische Getränke. "Broom has brought years of experience and insight into the drinks industry to the fore here to lead the reader on a deeply informed journey through gin. From its herbs and their uses in ancient medicines by the Greeks and Romans, through the early monastic drinks and into the Dutch versions and then the English revolution and boom, before the fall and phoenix like rebirth in the late 90's to the new heights of today."

Following up on 10 Signs You're Reaching Burnout, covering the topic of stress and burnout explores the latter and even more sinister effects of mental and physical burnout – along with potential strategies for a healthier way of living.
It may appear to some, to be 'shock tactics', but having spent more than two decades attending people like you and me… my last post considered ten of the early stage symptoms to be aware of. Here are the more sinister possibilities we might well want to avoid altogether, where possible:
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
- Hypertension – elevated blood pressure over a sustained period of time can give rise to a number of unpleasant and debilitating conditions.
- Cardiac Disease – enlarged heart and heart failure (Cardiomyopathy), or Myocardial Infarction (MI or heart attack)
- Immune Deficiency – this may be switched off, viewed by the body as unnecessary when under duress!
- Stroke – a bleed to the brain due to a rupture of blood vessels, or a dislodged clot or fatty deposits can lead to various levels of stroke. see also The NIH Stroke Scale
- Cancer – due to the body switching off the balancing mechanisms for cellular growth and harmony, and, or irregular cell maintenance.
- Premature Ageing – and shorter life expectancy.
- Digestion – and weight problems; food absorption can be, and is, compromised when eating whilst under the effects of stress.
- Mental Health Deterioration – including dementia related disease; for those who prefer a little more of the science behind structural changes that occur to the brain as a result of sustained stress see Chronic Stress Generates Long-Term Changes In The Brain Which Could Lead To Mental Illness.
Now the Good News!
Exercise! But you know this, right? You have only to make time to introduce some 'you' time in your day or evening. You deserve this and it doesn't need to be the stuff of top athletes; start gently with small actions and create a habit!
Plan time for YOU each day - or at least several times a week. #burnout Click To TweetEven walking is a very worthwhile pursuit, as long as you are walking for the sake of walking, rather than to be somewhere!
Are you really working efficiently? If you're working longer than 40 hours a week, how efficient and productive are those extras? Can you actually be more productive, with more energy, when working more reasonably? To test this, start going for a walk and having a lunch break away from work. A minimum 30 minutes will make a significant impact on your afternoon productivity and state of mind! Try it, you'll be pleasantly surprised!
Be more mindful and aware of eating your meals. Taste and observe the food – put the fork down in between mouthfuls! This is easier said than done, but you're up for a challenge!
Quality time is… When you are supposed to be engaging or available to 'quality time', be there.
When you are playing... play! #quality #mindful Click To Tweet
Counselling and Guidance – (Coaching)
We all need a little help along the way at times. It is a sign of our self-worth when we allow ourselves to recognise the time when engaging someone outside of our circles can motivate us more to find and recover the very best expression of ourselves.
People who do this as a matter of course?
Any well known, top-of-their-game celebrity, industry leader (or sports person) who is in balance with their wellbeing… will have, at least in some part, achieved this harmony and efficient productivity with the support of an external ear!
Do YOU deserve any less?

I wasn't able to make training Tuesday, so I made that workout up today. It started with Handstand Pushups:
EMOM – 12 Minutes – 2 Deficit Handstand Pushups (Off a 45lb. Plate)
These were much harder than I thought they would be. Video of the first two:
After these I had to start kipping. That was weird with the deficit.
5 Rounds (EMOM)
- 5 Power Snatch @ 55% *Touch and Go *75#
- Double Unders for the remainder of the Minute
Felt easy. Got 203 Double Unders total for all 5 Rounds. I had only been at the gym for like a half hour when I finished this up, so I pushed the prowler:
Loaded with about 145 lbs. I pushed it down and back x 5. One length is probably 30 Meters.

Your balancing payment for this year (2014/15) and if applicable, an instalment for next year (2015/16) are due by 31stJanuary 2016, together with your tax return.
If you are struggling to pay your tax, you should call HM Revenue & Customs' (HMRC) Business Payment Support Service (BPSS). HMRC will ask you probing questions about the business and your cashflow, to ascertain why you can't pay your tax. If they think you genuinely cannot pay your tax they may grant you an extension to settle your taxes in or agree a payment plan. However, they will not reduce the amount outstanding and they will still charge you interest.
Even though you can't afford to pay your tax, you must make sure you still file your return before 31st January 2016. Otherwise, you will be charged an automatic late filing penalty of £100 and the penalties will mount up the longer the delay in filing the tax return. Furthermore, the BPSS will only consider making arrangements where the tax is not yet overdue- so do not leave it too long to speak with them.
If you don't feel confident in negotiating with HMRC, feel free to contact your local TaxAssist Accountant who would be happy to liaise with HMRC on your behalf.

The Toddler Bed
As parents, we hold our babies close and try to keep them little for as long as possible; that's our job. Maybe that's why it's so hard to determine whether or not they are ready for a toddler bed, because to us to us they're still just babies! Luckily, they're really good about telling us that the crib just isn't working out anymore.
Most children are ready for a toddler bed before they can speak, and they give us little clues as to when they are ready. Granted, toddler clues can be crazy, so the sooner we figure them out, the better. It's important to remember that every child is different. One little guy might be ready for a toddler bed before he turns one, and another little one might make the transition well after the year mark. It all depends, but when they're ready, they'll tell you in little ways like these:
- you're sleeping, you feel somebody staring at you, and you open your eyes and see the tiny little version of yourself looking at you with darling eyes;
- it is your baby's nap time, but you're the one who's rudely awakened by a very slippery baby sitting in a lake of environmentally friendly dish soap – the Costco size;
- you're thankful that your wee one repeatedly escapes the crib without a scratch;
- you're speechless because you've just measured your little darling who once measured just over a foot and a half, now measures in a centimeter over three feet; or
- there's another baby on the way and you don't have two cribs for both your infant and toddler to sleep in.
If these sound familiar, then it might be time for the mighty toddler to get a new bed.
You know it's inevitable that your little one will do some major impact testing, so of course you're going to be searching for a bed that you'll feel comfortable putting your little jumping bean in. Whether you're going to buy, borrow, or make your tiny tot's new bed, here's a bit of bed advice.
The New Toddler Bed
The Juvenile Product Manufactures Association works in close conjunction with the ASTM, allowing manufactures of infant and preschool products to earn a JPMA certification. A complete list of manufactures and standards can be found at www.jpma.org; but for now, here's a list of manufactures that have certified toddler beds:
- AFG International, Inc.;
- Delta Enterprise;
- Dorel Juvenile Group/Safety 1st;
- Pail- Design; and
- Stork Craft Manufacturing Inc.
So, if you're headed to the retail store and see the JPMA seal, then you know that the product has been tested from side rail to side rail, slat to slat, spindle to spindle, end to end, bold to bolt, screw to screw, and mattress to bed frame. Their safety standards suggest that a certified product can withstand a toddler.
A Second-Life Toddler Bed
If the price tag of a toddler bed is heavier than the bed itself, then opting for a hand-me-down bed, or buying one secondhand, might be more fiscally appealing for you. But you still want one that will keep your little bundle safe, so put it through a little test of your own.
- It needs to have sturdy slats to hold the mattress and the little jumper.
- The space between the mattress and the bed frames should not be any larger than a wallet.
- Guard rails, headboards, and footboards should be firmly attached to the bed.
- Go ahead and lay on it. If it holds you, it'll hold your little dear.
- If you've got a sleeper who rolls a lot, make sure the bed is low to the ground.
- If your child's limbs or head can get stuck between slats or decorative cutouts, then it's a no go.
All toddlers grow up and into a bigger bed fairly quickly, so you know that there are plenty of good beds for sale. Ask family members and friends, look in the classifieds, and go to secondhand stores for kids to find one.
A Handmade Toddler Bed
If you're a DIY-er, then making a bed for your sweetie pie might be right up your alley. This website, www.ana-white.com, has free furniture plans to build toddler beds comparable to ones found in popular furniture stores. Making a bed for your little one has benefits, such as:
- you choose the materials it's made of- solid wood, no chemically treated pressed wood;
- you'll know how strong it is because you built it;
- your little side kick can help you out in the process which, by the way, might make the transition from a crib to a toddler bed even more exciting;
- building a designer bed yourself will save you a lot of money; and
- sometimes mattresses don't fit the bed well, but by building one yourself, you can customize a fit of perfection.
As with all other safety rules, make sure the handmade bed exceeds all safety expectations.
Once you have the perfect bed, put it in a safe spot away from potential hazards, like windows, cords, and outlets. So start looking for all the clues your toddler is giving you. Your wee man or little lady might even be ready for a sweet toddler bed right now. Once you have the perfect bed placed in a safe spot, all that is left to do is to read bedtime stories, and tuck in that precious little one.

Our award-winning perineal massage oil is safe to use in pregnancy as you prepare for your baby's birth. With a unique blend of avocado, lavender, grapeseed, eucalyptus and sweet almond oils, it can be used throughout pregnancy but is particularly recommended from 34 weeks. It's ideal for encouraging the skin around your perineum to stretch more easily during childbirth.
During childbirth a tear to the perineum (the area of skin between the vagina and anus) is common, and in some births women may be offered an episiotomy (a cut to the perineum). Perineal massage from 34 weeks has been clinically proven to help stretch the perineum and make it more elastic, therefore reducing the risk of tearing or the need for an episiotomy, and help to improve the chances of recovering sooner after birth.
Our perineal massage oil contains:

|Experimental and computational studies of a fungal chitinase
|Khan, Faez Iqbal
|Issue Date:
|Chitin, the second most abundant natural biopolymer, is composed of repeating units of N-acetyl-β-D-glucosamine and primarily forms the structural component of protective biological matrices such as fungal cell walls and exoskeletons of insects. Chitinases are a ubiquitous class of extracellular enzymes that have gained attention in the past few years due to their wide range of biotechnological applications, especially in the field of agriculture for bio-control of fungal phytopathogens. They play an important role in the defense of organisms against chitin-containing parasites by hydrolyzing the β-1,4-linkages in chitin and hence act as anti-fungal as well as anti-biofouling agents. Moreover, the effectiveness of conventional insecticides is increasingly compromised by the occurrence of resistance and thus, chitinases offer a potential alternative to the use of chemical fungicides. In recent years, thermostable enzymes isolated from thermophilic microorganisms have gained widespread attention in industrial, medical, environmental and biotechnological applications due to their inherent stability at high temperatures and a wide range of pH optima. Determination of the three- dimensional structure of a protein can provide important details about its biological functions and its mode of action. However, despite their significance, the precise three-dimensional structures of most of the chitinases, including those isolated from Thermomyces lanuginosus is not fully characterized so far. Hence, the main focus of the present study was to gain a better understanding of the structural features of chitinases obtained from this thermostable fungus using both experimental and computational techniques, and their relationship with their activity profiles. The genes encoding thermostable chitinase II from T. lanuginosus were isolated and cloned in both E. coli as well as the Pichia pastoris expression system. Analysis of the nucleotide sequences revealed that the chitinase II gene (1196 bp) encodes a 343 amino acid protein of molecular weight 36.65 kDa whereas the chitinase I gene (1538 bp) encodes a 400 amino acid protein of molecular weight 44.14 kDa. In silico protein modeling was helpful in predicting the 3D models of the novel chitinase II enzyme, followed by the prediction of its active sites. The presence of Glu176 was found to be essential for the activity of chitinase II. Similarly, analysis of chitinase I revealed several active sites in its structural framework. A 10 ns Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations was implemented to assess the conformational preferences of chitinases. The MD trajectories at different temperatures clearly revealed that the stability of the enzymes were maintained at higher temperatures. Additionally, a constant pH molecular dynamics simulations at a pH range 2-6 was performed to establish the optimum activity and stability profiles of chitinase I and chitinase II. For this purpose, the Molecular Dynamics simulations were carried out at fixed protonation states in an explicit water environment to evaluate the effect of the physiological pH on chitinase I and II enzymes obtained from T. lanuginosus. The results suggest a strong conformational pH dependence of chitinases. These enzymes retained their characteristic TIM Barrel fold at the respective protonated conditions, thus validated the experimental outcomes. Further, the different stability and flexibility predictions were used to assess the relation of point mutations and enzyme stabilities. Our results pave the way to engineer new and better thermostable enzymes.

Fallow deer
One of the most attractive hunting grounds in our offer is certainly the island of Plavnik, where the fallow deer was successfully introduced fifteen years ago. The island is located between Krk and Cres and has a total area of 1000 hectares and has proven to be an ideal habitat for the fallow deer, the only large game on the island. Also found on the island are rabbits, rock partridge and sheep. The fallow deer has found the necessary peace on Plavnik as well as enough natural food and water, thereby meeting all the conditions for quality development.
Our hunting agency exclusively offers this very interesting island hunting ground which can only be accessed by boat. Here you will experience beautiful and untouched nature in the coastal karst, covered with oak, Holm oak, and juniper. The hunting ground also has a house where shepherds used to live where, during the day, you can relax, freshen up and enjoy the beautiful views of Krk and Cres islands. Nearby are the ruins of a small church, and frequent guests are the Griffon vultures! We hunting in ambush or from high hunting stands, or on guided walks. It is necessary to book your hunting trip in advance, both due to the necessary preparations and due to weather conditions.
If you want to hunt in a free hunting ground and enjoy a primal hunt for beautiful and high quality fallow deer, then the island of Plavnik is the perfect place! Hunting for selection deer, does and calves begins in early November, after the close of the mating season.
We have prepared a package with a great price, that includes all hunting costs, and all clients wanting to buy this premium game will receive a special discount!

A local councillor has expressed concern over traffic arrangements during a project to upgrade the water supply and sewer infrastructure on Carrick's North Road.
The works will commence on July 4 and will take approximately 14 weeks to complete, according to NI Water.
However, diversions as a result of the project could mean an increased amount of traffic through Glenfield and Dunsluskin, claimed Alderman Jim Brown. "There are already chicanes in the Dunluskin area to stop speeding; with all this traffic heading through as well we are going to have a lot of disruption," he added.
In a statement, NI Water said: "We anticipate that work will commence on July 4 until July 8 under a single lane closure at Prince Andrew Way junction. The North Road will remain open to through traffic in both directions during this period. There will be no work taking place on the North Road between July 9-18.
"Work will then recommence on North Road on July 18 for approximately 13 weeks under a road closure from Prince Andrew Way junction to Middle Road, in order to facilitate sewer and watermain works. The North Road will be closed to through traffic in both directions and motorists will be directed to use the signed diversions via Beltoy Road and Prospect Road.
"This work is being programmed together to avoid the need for future disruption on the North Road, and the majority of work is taking place during the school holidays to minimise disruption to school traffic.
"Detailed traffic management arrangements have been discussed and agreed with Transport NI, and in order to keep disruption to a minimum for residents/businesses, the works will be completed in phases, from the Northland junction to Middle Road."
