When Rebecca's best friend Maria Fenno married Josiah Ogden Hoffman of New York, she also became the stepmother of his children by his first marriage. Matilda, born in 1791 and therefore ten years younger than Rebecca and Maria, is the one who appears most often in their correspondence.
This is because Matilda's father decided in 1804 to send her to boarding school in Philadelphia and asked Rebecca to look after her while she was there. Rebecca, who already was acquainted with Matilda and her "gentle sensibility," enthusiastically accepted the responsibility. "You may be assured," she wrote Judge Hoffman, "every attention the most affectionate sister would pay shall be proffered her." She also suggested that Matilda stay at the Gratz's for a time before starting school to "give her an opportunity of becoming acquainted with my family as I wish her to look upon us as friends and our house as a home." (Rebecca's initial excitement at being able to help a young friend would blossom into a lifelong avocation in which she played "Aunt Becky" to the children of friends and relatives visiting in Philadelphia.)
During the school terms for the next sixteen months, Rebecca's letters to Maria are full of the clothes and shoes she has purchased for Matilda (with an accounting of the expenses), outings they've been on and weekends spent at the Gratz house. In the spring of 1806, Maria wrote that Rebecca must bring Matilda home because one of her favorites, Washington Irving, was just back from Europe. Irving had studied law in Judge Hoffman's law office from 1802 to 1804 and had been a frequent visitor at their house.
Irving became again a familiar presence in the Hoffman household, resuming his role as the "fun" older brother to the siblings. His new friendship with Rebecca and her family would grow through visits in Philadelphia and New York. In the late spring of 1808, he must have seen and heard a great deal of Rebecca when she came to New York to help Maria care for her sister Harriet Fenno Rodman who was dying of tuberculosis. Rebecca nursed Harriet for more than a month at the Hoffman house which Irving visited often.
In September 1808, after Rebecca had returned to Philadelphia, Miriam Gratz, her mother, died after a four-day illness. No other event in Rebecca's life would ever cause her such pain. She took to her bed in the days after, and she let her charitable work slide. An officer of the Female Association wrote her in November encouraging her to return to her secretarial duties. In December her brother Hyman voiced his continuing concern "for [her] health and spirits" to Maria Fenno Hoffman.
By this same autumn of 1808, so terrible for Rebecca, it was generally acknowledged that Washington Irving had fallen in love with Matilda Hoffman. Judge Hoffman, who liked Irving and who thought that Matilda was mature enough to contemplate marriage, offered his consent -- if Irving would settle down to a job and provide financial security for his daughter. Irving applied himself to the law and planned a life with Matilda.
In February 1809 Matilda came down with a cold which quickly turned into tuberculosis. In the surviving letters from this period, no one in the Hoffman family asks Rebecca to come nor does she suggest it. Both Maria and the Gratz's must have been extremely anxious about Rebecca's physical and emotional fragility, and Rebecca may also have realized that she was unfit for nursing yet another terminally ill loved one, the third within a year.
So, as Washington Irving himself related, Matilda was gazing at him when she died. Rebecca's absence from her bedside, however, does not mean there was not an affectionate relationship between Matilda and her. The two, a decade apart in age, were not "best friends forever" as they are usually depicted; they were more like a nurturing young aunt and a loving niece. During Matilda's illness her older sister wrote to Rebecca, "She talks much of her dear Becky...[and] said she had been very happy in her dreams for you had been with her."
After Matilda's death Rebecca sent a message to Washington Irving through Maria, hoping that it would be some consolation to him, knowing "all [Matilda] felt of earth-born attachment was his."
It is easy to see how Rebecca's nieces and great-nieces, in piecing together their aunt's life from memory, could confuse her nursing of Harriet Fenno Rodman with Matilda's very similar illness of the following year. Consciously or unconsciously, they also may have preferred the version which involved Washington Irving's fiancee because it bound Rebecca and Irving together in a way that gave greater credence to the story that his description of her to Scott was the inspiration for the character of Rebecca in Ivanhoe.
(Rebecca's letter to Judge Hoffman is in the Miscellaneous Manuscripts Collection at the Library of Congress. The letter from Matilda's sister Ann is in the Gratz Family Collection, Manuscript Collection No. 72, the American Philosophical Society, and Rebecca's to Maria is in the Gratz Family Collection at the American Jewish Historical Society. The letter from the officer of the Female Association is among the papers of that organization in the special collections at the Haverford College Library.)

Too Many Candidates, Too Few Jobs
The current job market is competitive. That may sound like a lazy truism, but it's an important fact to remember when selecting candidates. While a saturated job market may sound like an employer's dream, it can often be quite the opposite – a recruitment nightmare.
Because candidates are so eager to find employment, they will often apply for anything, carpeting bombing employers with CVs, often repeatedly. Anything that seems vaguely relevant to their skill-set or experience is considered fair game.
However, there are certain measures that companies can put into place to help the recruitment process run smoothly. Before getting into our top hiring tips, it's essential for business owners to know their options.
Recruitment needn't be a necessary evil. In fact, it should be a pleasant and rewarding process. By using a recruitment agency, you bypass the burden of saturated markets and screening methods. Good recruitment agencies will do this for you. And no, you don't have to break the bank to get this service. Online recruitment was introduced to help cut costs and save companies money. For a low-cost flat fee, you can enjoy the entire recruitment service, including job ads, screening and short-listing. So, if you're wasting too much time and money on in-house recruitment, it may be time to hand the reins over to the professionals.
In the meantime, here are our top tips for hiring new employees in a candidate-saturated market.
Start with a meeting. By discussing the job vacancy with your employers, partners and stakeholders, everyone can agree on the type of person needed for the role. Be sure to define the role thoroughly and what skills are needed to fill it.
Create a detailed person spec and job spec. The former should list the skills and experience needed to carry out the job role; the latter should describe the functions of the role in relation to your company. Both of these should be listed in the job ad.
Wisely choose how and where to recruit. Don't just contact a handful of jobs boards and hope for the best. Advertise with reputable and trusted jobs boards, niche sites, trade publications and other reliable platforms. Again, to save time and money, this process is best left to an online recruitment agency.
Screen applicants shrewdly. Don't use lazy vetting techniques. Before selecting applicants for an interview, chat with them on the telephone. Profile them. Find out their motivations and reasons for wanting to work for you. Applicants who have carpet bombed their CVs will most likely fail at this stage – that's if they even remember applying for the job.
Schedule interviews as quickly as possible. The fact is, talented candidates won't be around for long. If you leave the interview process too long, you may have to settle for second or third best. Get applicants in quickly; there's always time to whittle them down for a second interview.
Good candidates will be interviewing you too. Therefore, it is important to keep all candidates updated and in the loop. This will help to build their confidence in you as a company and will strengthen your employer brand.

Just because I don't speak up, doesn't mean I agree.
I just allow you to say what's on your mind &
have wisdom enough to not say what's on mine.
Silence can often be misunderstood for consent.
Especially when dealing with people who always have so. much. to. say.
And you think you lost because you remained silent?
Let me clarify.
Silence - is self-discipline.
Silence - is self-control.
Silence - is wisdom. sometimes.
Speaking up takes courage.
But keeping silent despite wanting to speak up, takes strength.
And knowing to speak up at the right time takes wisdom.
But think first before you do.

Even though your new dental bridge is made from materials that will not succumb to the effects of tooth decay, it can still be threatened by gum disease. When plaque and residual food particles are not effectively cleaned away from your teeth and gumline, they can harden into tartar. Tartar at the gumline is the leading cause of periodontal disease.
Your new bridge is anchored in place by a pair of abutments that are formed from the healthy cores of the two closest neighboring teeth. Chronic gum disease issues can cause your gums to recede from the base of your teeth, forming pockets of infection near the roots of the abutments. At the same time, the presence of pervasive bacteria can slowly compromise the seam where your bridge is cemented to one or both of the abutments.
Brushing your teeth twice each day and flossing once each evening helps remove residual food particles and plaque before they can harden into tartar. If you're having trouble cleaning in and around the bridge, you might want to try using an interdental brush, a floss threader with waxy floss or a dental water jet.
Your twice-annual dental checkup with Dr. Jay Stucky will clean away any residual tartar and also monitor the integrity of the bridge.
If you have questions or concerns about how to adequately clean and maintain your dental bridge in Hutchinson, Kansas, you can always call Hutchinson Family Dental, Jay R. Stucky, DDS, PA at 620-663-9119 to talk to your dentist, Dr. Jay Stucky.

Product reviews in ecommerce translate to customer trust. Think about the last time that you purchased something online, did you check for reviews? I know I do! I want to see what other customers thought about the product as deciphering from a few pictures and a description is difficult. Unlike in store where you can touch and feel before you buy, you can't do that online.
Additionally, when you're dropshipping you as the merchant also don't control the product so you too are simply basing your expectations on the images, descriptions and most likely the product reviews. In short, positive reviews build trust and help customers to make that final push to purchase!
positive reviews = more customer trust = more sales
Now the question you may be asking is how to get those reviews. You've got two situations, you're a new store and literally have no purchases or you've got sales rolling in and a customer list.
For new stores you need to get a little creative. And no, this does not mean writing fake reviews as that isn't going to help anybody. If a customer senses fake reviews they are most likely to not purchase and not return to your store as you've ruined their trust.
The first thing you can do is locate your supplier or the product on Aliexpress.com. On Aliexpress if the product is quite popular you will see reviews from customers all over the world and many of them even include pictures. Even if the product is coming from a different supplier if it looks exactly the same there is a good chance they are sourced in the same place. This isn't perfect but a great place to get started until you get sales rolling in - hopefully this will help!
Ali Reviews is an app that allows you to import reviews straight from Aliexpress so you can use them on your store and don't need to re-write anything! An absolute must when you are getting started. Not only will this build trust but it will also build the illusion that your store is bringing in a lot of traffic and others are purchasing from there.
Otherwise if you've got some customers and sales already then it is time to ask them to leave a review! This way not only can you get authentic reviews you can also get real feedback from your customers. If they had a great experience than they will be likely to leave a positive review, if they did not you have the option then to rectify the situation and see how you can turn that into a good experience and another sale down the line.
Shopify also created a Product Reviews app that you can install directly onto the product page. You can request any customer to leave one. You can choose as well whether or not you want these auto-published. Don't worry, if you're fretting a customer who waited too long will leave something negative you have the option to check it first and delete it. You can also import reviews so if you had another dropshipping store can use those as well.
Now, in terms of getting the reviews you'll want to make sure that you reach out to customers right after they have received their product and are excited about it. This way they will be more inclined to leave one. Let's face it, a positive review does your business a huge favour. Get creative by offering a discount for a review or doing a giveaway. Since your customer is going out of their way to do this for you make sure you show them how much you appreciate it by treating them and enticing them to come back. If they get a discount that will go to their next purchase at your store.
Make sure you also monitor all your social media accounts for subtle comment reviews. Just because there isn't a star rating doesn't mean it is not a review that another customer would trust and read! A comment on Instagram or Facebook about the product is also a review. You'll want to make sure you monitor all engagement with customers and treat any comment about the product or experience purchasing it as valuable feedback.
Beyond using reviews just as a tactic to bring in more sales, use it as data to enhance your store. If a certain product is getting negative reviews then it is either time to source from a new supplier or replace it with something else. If someone complains about long shipping then maybe it is not clear enough on your store. There are numerous apps that allow customers to leave reviews in different and unique ways that may be better tailored to your brand or business (I will link them all here). However it is important to remember that the information your customers leave is invaluable and listening to everything they have to say (the good and the bad) will bring in even more sales and allow you to scale with a returning customer base!
Magda This is priceless information. Thank you for sharing this!
Magda Thank you. This helps me a bunch. I hadn't considered adding reviews, but can now see, if done well, it can potentially help my shop/sales. I'll test it out soon.
Magda Lovin it! Super useful

1Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; 2In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; 3But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour; 4To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. 5For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: 6If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. 7For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; 8But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; 9Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. 10For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: 11Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. 12One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. 13This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; 14Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. 15Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. 16They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. 2:1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: 2That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. 3The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; 4That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 5To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. 6Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. 7In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, 8Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you. 9Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again; 10Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. 11For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 13Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. 15These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee. 3:1 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, 2To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. 3For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 4But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 5Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men. 9But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. 10A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; 11Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself. 12When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter. 13Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them. 14And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful. 15All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen. (KJV)
Philemon 1:1-25
1Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer, 2And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house: 3Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 4I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. 7For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother. 8Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient, 9Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ. 10I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: 11Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me: 12Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels: 13Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel: 14But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly. 15For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever; 16Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord? 17If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself. 18If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account; 19I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides. 20Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord. 21Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say. 22But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you. 23There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus; 24Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers. 25The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. (KJV)

It was an up-close opportunity not to be passed up. The highlight of the evening was going to be the first meeting between a woman from Long Island and a man from Brooklyn who was the recipient of her kidney. It was random and altruistic, but more of the latter than the former.
The kidney transplant took place at a hospital in Manhattan back in January and was facilitated by Renewal, the organization that matches donors with would-be recipients and is now marking the 500th such transplant since its founding 12 years ago.
Renewal is as remarkable as it is unique. It can be said that a key component to Jewish life today consists of our frequently being asked to give something, though this type of exchange or communication is usually about making a financial commitment of one kind or another, and that is actually something we have all grown accustomed to and accept.
But that is not the case in this instance. Last Wednesday evening we were at the home of Hedy and Ben Lipschitz in Oceanside, New York, for what was billed as a "Kidney Donation Awareness Event." We were told earlier in the day that the highlight of the evening was going to be the first meeting between a kidney donor and recipient.
Although I have attended Renewal events in the past, I thought that this would be something memorable as well as extraordinary, and it indeed was. The information that I did not have was that the hostess of the evening, Hedy, was the kidney donor, and she was going to meet the person who received her kidney, a man named Yosef who also resided in New York.
As an observer of things of this sort, let me just say that there are multiple tiers relating to events like this. Most of us experience the idea of altruistic kidney donation through newspaper or online stories like this or through the emails we receive on a regular basis. A second level is an event like the one we attended last week, where you actually get to meet as well as listen to people involved in the process expound on their motivations that moved them in the direction of becoming a kidney donor.
The third tier, of course, is much more meaningful, as that involves the actual donor and recipient, the facilitators in an organization like Renewal, the medical personnel involved in the process, and the families of the donors and recipients.
The dynamic here is akin to watching a life be saved in slow motion. It is as selfless as it is courageous. It sounds quite doable, but even for those who make the decision to move forward with the procedure, like Hedy Lipschitz and other donors like the individual we spoke with and highlighted in this space a few weeks ago, it is inevitable that one will question oneself repeatedly until the deed is actually done.
Listening to Hedy speak in her home last week, one cannot help but marvel at how cool her approach was once she decided she wanted to donate a kidney. The recipient, Yosef, a Sephardic man who spoke halting English, was accompanied by his son, who expressed his father's and his family's gratitude and appreciation. Now that Yosef has a new healthy, functioning kidney, it is difficult for us to know what his life was like prior to the operation. Aside from the assortment of difficulties that are associated with kidney disease or organ deficiency, many of the recipients prior to the surgery are dependent on kidney dialysis — very often several days a week for quite a number of hours.
Following Hedy's remarks, Rabbi Josh Sturm, the dynamic director of outreach at Renewal, fielded a series of pertinent and interesting questions from those present. Some of the things that I discerned from the exchange were that harvesting a kidney from the donor is performed by doctors laparoscopically. The donor and recipient are in nearby operating rooms so once the kidney is removed from the donor it is almost immediately placed inside the recipient.
The hospital stay, depending on the recovery of the individual, is usually anywhere from two to three days. In Hedy Lipschitz's case, she was in the hospital just one night, she said, because she was feeling well and preferred to be home for Shabbos rather than in the hospital.
The discussion about the details surrounding kidney donations seems a rather simple, matter-of-fact conversation. But that really underestimates the greatness of the people who make the decision to donate. We covered some of the information on this subject a few weeks ago, but it is important to reiterate that despite the fact that Renewal has facilitated over 500 kidney transplants to date, there are still more than 400 people on the Renewal list alone.
On a national level in the United States, Rabbi Sturm explains, there are currently over 96,000 people waiting for kidneys. The average wait can be seven to eight excruciating and difficult years. Sadly, some do not make it.
Interestingly, someone asked about young children who are in need of kidneys and where those donors come from. Josh explained that a young child, aged three to eight, can find a suitable candidate in a woman who is under 5' 3" and weighs no more than 125 pounds. Other donor–recipient matches are usually people in a similar age bracket.
In this case, both Hedy and Yosef are in their sixties, while the donor and recipient we focused on a few weeks ago were both men about 65 years old.
Renewal was founded 12 years ago by Boro Park resident Mendy Reiner. It started when Mendy met an old friend and asked about his wellbeing. The man told Mendy that he needed help, and Reiner automatically assumed that the individual was in need of financial assistance.
Mendy asked him how much he needed to deal with whatever issues he was having, and the man explained that no, his problem was not financial but rather that he was dealing with kidney failure and needed a new kidney.
Mr. Reiner placed an ad in a local Jewish newspaper and, to his surprise, people started to respond and express interest in helping out and in some cases even giving one of their kidneys. A person's natural biological composition includes two kidneys. Why that is so is a question for medical experts. Websites dedicated to the subject say that a person can lead a perfectly normal and healthy life with one kidney.
Interestingly, one of the websites perused for this article said that one in 1,000 people are actually born with just one kidney. There was a story of a woman in Israel who was undecided about donating a kidney, and during the screening process it was discovered she actually had three kidneys. So, you see, just about anything is possible.
Of course, it is important to note that all of this is done altruistically and there are no financial inducements to get someone to donate a kidney. In fact, that is illegal. In her presentation the other night, Hedy talked about how the hospital social worker interviews and screens donors in advance of the procedure. That process can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months once your kidney is discovered to be a match for someone in need.
Hedy said the social worker asked her if anyone along the line in the process had offered her any remuneration, and while the inquiry in the instance of Renewal might be a little offensive, it is still necessary and standard operating procedure. Rabbi Sturm added later that a few months ago, while a Chassidic young man was being interviewed by a hospital social worker, he was asked what motivated him to donate a bodily organ to a complete stranger. The young man said to the social worker, "Do you know what a mitzvah is?"
As Rabbi Sturm said, the donors in this remarkable process are the heroes and they should be regarded as such. Donor and recipient, though once strangers, are emotionally attached forever. It is a very special experience.
Obviously, more donors are needed. It seems like there is nothing more noble and self-sacrificing than taking this giant step that literally gives life to the donor, the family, and, in a special way, to all of Klal Yisrael.

I cannot even BEGIN to describe this book.... but I'll try. Ever wondered what would happen if Lemony Snickett met Clive Barker and they took acid together inside Salvador Dali's brain? Me either, but I suspect the result would be something similar to this short novel. It's dark, surreal and humorous, and the sudden bizarre twists are guaranteed to take you by surprise, no matter how well prepared you think you are. My only criticisms of this books would be that it gets slightly too self conscious for me in parts, and that I would have enjoyed a slightly higher proportion of the wonderful lyrical style of prose that Tony Burgess does so well, and in which the book begins. These really are minor criticisms though, and completely a matter of personal taste. Saying anything more about this book is bound to give something way, completely mystify people or both, so I'll leave it at this: READ. THIS. BOOK. And while you're at it, read everything by Tony Burgess.

Asia Pacific waters remain the top shipping loss region, accounting for 45% of losses globally in 2018, according to Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty SE's (AGCS) Safety & Shipping Review 2019.
The annual study analyses reported shipping losses over 100 gross tons (GT).
"We do typically see more incidents of groundings and collisions in Asia than other locations around the world, but this generally reflects the higher levels of trade and where ship owners are trading," says Tom Taberner, Regional Head of Energy & Marine Asia Pacific at AGCS. "In many cases port infrastructure in Asia is new and there are many new or expanding ports in China, Korea, Japan and Malaysia etc. Newer infrastructure means fewer issues, better port operations and more up-to-date charts, which will address challenges."
In 2018, 21 total losses of vessels were reported in Asia Pacific, down from 46 losses in the 12 months earlier, driven by a significant decline in activity in the global loss hotspot, South East Asia, and weather-related losses after quieter hurricane and typhoon seasons.
While this plummet in total losses is encouraging, the number of reported shipping incidents overall in Asia actually increased by 22% in the past four years, according to analysis of data from 4,000 insured vessels by AGCS. However, this is more due to the sheer volume of ships that pass through the region, rather than below-par safety standards.
Worst accident locations and common causes of loss
Asia Pacific waters remain a hotspot for marine claims with 4 of the top 10 loss regions globally in 2018 and half of the top 10 largest losses also occurring in the region. The South China, Indochina, Indonesia and Philippines maritime region remains the top loss region, where one in four losses globally occurred in 2018 (12). This is however significantly down from 29 a year earlier, marking the first time the region has seen a fall in losses in four years. Other top loss regions in Asia Pacific include Japan, Korea and North China (#4 globally), as well as the Arabian Gulf and approaches (#5).
Cargo ships (8) accounted for more than a third of vessels lost around Asia Pacific in the past year. Foundered (sunk/submerged) was the major cause, accounting for 14 of the 21 losses regionally — over thrice as many as the next highest cause — wrecked/stranded. Global results also bear this trend, where foundering (sinking), has accounted for over half (551) of the 1,036 lost globally over the past decade, and are the most expensive cause of loss for insurers, accounting for US $1.56 billion in five years.
Global trends and evolving compliance and security challenges
Globally, the loss trends are similar to Asia, with 46 large ships lost worldwide in 2018, down from 98 12 months earlier. However, the number of reported shipping incidents overall (2,698 in 2018) shows little decline, less than 1% year-on-year. Just like Asia, machinery damage is a major cause, accounting for more than a third of the 26,000+ incidents over the past decade, and is one of the most expensive causes of marine insurance claims ($1bn+ in five years).
Looking forward, regulation limiting sulphur oxide emissions from January 2020 is likely to be a game- changer for the shipping industry, with wide-ranging implications for cost, compliance and crew. In addition, political risk has also heightened globally and increasingly poses a threat to shipping security, trade and supply chains through conflicts, territorial disputes, cyber-attacks, sanctions, piracy and even sabotage, as evidenced by recent attacks on oil tankers in the Middle East. Growing numbers of migrants at sea and an increase in stowaways on commercial vessels also has serious consequences for ship owners, leading to delays, diversions and pressure on crew. In contrast to Asia, piracy incidents increased in 2018 to more than 200 – Nigeria is now the top global hotspot.
Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (AGCS) is a leading global corporate insurance carrier and a key business unit of Allianz Group.

text: I realized that I wear button-up shirts a lot, both mens and womens. I really like button-ups and I think they are a perfect way to add class to an outfit while at the same time can be casual. They look good with or without heels and usually can be worn in a variety of ways: underneath a sweater or shirt (here and here), with a vest (here), or just by itself. I think it's a good staple piece to have because it can be worn in all seasons and is a really good layer. It doesn't matter if it's denim, cotton, or silk. Button-ups can be dressed up or dressed down and even worn in different ways: tied at the front, with rolled up sleeves, button all the way, open, around the waist, etc. Below is a great visual of the versatility and necessity of the button-up. [photo from here]google women in button-ups and you will be pleased with the many ways and how often button-ups are worn and praised.

Creamy Homemade Vanilla Pudding Recipe

Creamy Homemade Vanilla Pudding Recipe
I've tried many, many different recipes for vanilla pudding over the years. Since we've acquired laying hens and a family milk cow, I've been trying to find recipes that use up the largest amount of those ingredients as possible because let's face it, vanilla pudding is a whole lot quicker to prepare than an angel food cake (to use up some eggs) or cheese (to use up the milk). Cooling time aside, of course.
The problem always seems to be that I never have a consistency that is appetizing. It's either very loose and becomes watery after a day or it will have the dreaded egg chunks in it. No matter how thoroughly I seem to temper the eggs, I always get those nasty little bits of cooked egg. Using just yolks never seems to make the tempering go any "smoother."
While not having bits of cooked egg yolk helps, I've learned that the real secret to a smooth pudding is in the thickener. I've tried many types and in the end cornstarch wins for achieving the perfect consistency. Arrowroot powder made the pudding smooth, but it was gummy and the texture was what I imagine a frog's tongue to be like. It was something like a science experiment. Flour gave this pudding a grainy texture. Cornstarch made it smooth as silk.

- 2 ⅔ cups milk
- 4 egg yolks

Weeks of blood sweat and tears culminated in an extremely successful production of Cole Porters musical 'Anything Goes' at the Devonshire Park Theatre. Directed by Jeremy James Taylor OBE, with stunning choreography by Keltie Tomlinson and a superb live band under the direction of Mr Cousins the show was a wonderful showcase for the acting singing and dancing talent in years 7-13. Special thanks also to Mrs Walker and her team for supporting the show backstage and ensuring the show ran so smoothly and professionally. Most of all congratulations to the fantastic cast!

How to Spice Up Your Sales Pitch
By Quinn Coleman
Monday, April 17, 2017
By SummitSyncTrade show sales
Meetings matter more than anything at B2B conferences and trade shows.
They are what drive personal and professional relationships and return on investment.
There are several types of meetings at events and each drive ROE in different ways. Some B2B meetings drive a tangible dollar amount and others are meant for team bonding or relationship building. Events provide a unique opportunity to meet with current customers, hot leads, and new prospects in a single place. It can't get much better than that.
What type of meetings are you planning for at your next event?
All that hard work from the marketing team before an event really pays off with new prospect meetings. By creating landing pages, sending out cold emails to event attendees, and posting on social media, sales and marketing teams can start booking new prospect meetings before the event.
New prospect meetings are highly valuable because the first touches are coming from the real people behind your brand. In a recent study, face-to-face requests are 34 times more successful than email asks, so the chances of moving new prospects to a lead or even a closed deal are pretty high at events.
Have a hot lead you've been trying to work with for months? Events provide a great opportunity to follow up with all of your leads and meet some of the other team members and even a senior level decision maker or two.
Don't leave this to chance. Book a meeting before the event with them or another team member to discuss your product or service and provide an in-person demo. Sometimes all you need to close a deal is a real handshake and a great conversation and events provide the perfect opportunity for this at scale.
The funnel doesn't stop once the contract is signed. Make sure you spend some time with your current clients at events to boost goodwill between both parties. Conferences and trade shows provide a great, scalable opportunity to turn customers into brand evangelists. Hosting an exclusive, intimate client dinner is a great way to foster connections between your clients, which helps everyone come out on top.
Many B2B events are held in vacation destination cities like San Francisco, New York City, Miami, and Las Vegas. Cannes Lions and Dmexco are off the beaten path but beautiful oases perfect for team meetings and bonding. The out of office experience filled with insightful keynotes and creativity create a unique opportunity for team bonding and building.
Just imagine sipping a glass of rosé planning out your next quarter's event strategy lounging poolside and you'll realize what you've been missing out on all along.
Understanding the different types of meetings at events will help set expectations and predict ROI. Whether you're attending a conference or trade show solo or the entire team is there, knowing what your meeting goals at every event are will help set you up for success. Every type of meeting has its unique value and understanding which ones will drive the highest ROI for your team is key to success.
SummitSync can help your team schedule and manage up to four times as many meetings at conferences and trade shows, as well as provide transparency around event ROI.

If one thing stood out about the summer of 2016, it was that I chose to use it as the Summer of Rest.
And then the summer hit us with a tidal wave of heat and humidity here in Ontario that put everyone's patience to the test, and left me saying to no one in particular, "I said I needed to rest, not hibernate." Sigh. I didn't want to complain but skip grilling, you could cook your whole dinner on the sidewalk in under 30 seconds.
Anyway, I rested and hibernated away from the heat and took time to find my way back home, as it were. I dug into books and studies that I'd put off reading until I had more time. I joined two book launches that gave me an extra boost of community with other writers and bloggers. And I spent time daydreaming about small changes in my routine and my home that I'd been avoiding until I had better focus.
People, it took the whole two months.
But I feel better, rested, and eager to see what He's been resting me for.
And that starts my list of things I learned this summer:
- I learned that sometimes we shouldn't put off the feeling of needing rest because it might be His prompting according to His timing. With my chronic depression disorder, I must have pockets of downtime between major events or responsibilities. It ensures I get to take on things of magnitude when needed without falling into an episode triggered by being overwhelmed. And I'll rest when I feel prompted by the Spirit because sometimes He has something in store for me and doesn't want me to miss it and what He's doing. I'm seeing this unfold before me right now in fact, and because I was obedient to resting, I'm ready for this new thing I didn't know was initially coming.
Rest is often His equipping and preparing before a new big thing.
Having said that, sometimes something arises that you can't plan for and then I have to completely trust His strength over mine. And He has never failed me.
Rest is often His equipping and preparing before a new big thing. Click To Tweet
- I learned that I love catching short inspirational videos for those times when I can't get to church but need that "gotta have some church up in here-vibe!" For a hit of inspiration, for a soul-boost, for some freshness, sometimes hearing a sister or brother boil it all down to an undeniable bit of preaching makes me raise my hands and recollect myself in the middle of the day's chaos.
Here's one from the amazing Priscilla Shirer that recently felt refreshing and made me say "That'll preach!"
- I learned this summer that just because you follow all advice to a T on how to care for the random grapevine that on the surface seems to be thriving for the second summer in a row in our yard, doesn't mean you'll see any grapes.
At all.
Except in the fruit aisle of the grocery store.
It is flourishing. A lovely green. Trimmed properly. Climbing our deck railings with great vigor.
And completely useless otherwise.
I'm also learning patience and hope in regards to next year.
And optimism. Lots of optimism. Lots.
- Finally, I learned that your husband really will enjoy himself at an Andre Rieu concert if it's big and larger than life at full sound for impact. I had tickets to Andre's live streamed concert (from his historic hometown of Maastricht in the Netherlands) at our local movie theatre. I love his orchestra, their classical sound, and saw their concert this way last year. Perry aka Wilson kind of shrugged his shoulders and rolled his eyes a little when he found out I needed a seat-mate last-minute, but was game for this rather one-sided date night. And then the big screen lit up, there was audience participation from the streaming movie theatres around the world, and I heard him laugh, sniff back tears twice ya'll, and he joined the applause at the end, rather heartily.
So, now he gets why I say I can't watch baseball on t.v with any kind of enthusiasm but put me in the actual seats and I'm all in.
Guess he learned something this summer too. Ha.
So, those are some of the things I learned this season. Care to share some of the things you've learned over the course of the summer?

The article reviews provisions within the Affordable Care Act legislation and discusses key risk- adjustment implementation issues for states establishing health insurance exchanges. The paper also presents results from a simulation using data from 5 million insured persons to show how risk-adjusted transfer payments will be essential to help minimize selection bias across participating health plans.
"When setting payment rates for the private health plans that will insure consumers in each state's health insurance exchanges, the differences in the medical needs of each enrollee group must be accounted for," said Weiner, a professor in the Bloomberg School's Department of Health Policy and Management. "If we don't allocate more funds to plans enrolling sicker persons, the health insurance exchanges and possibly health reform itself could fail, as some health plans might go under, while others could experience large windfalls."
States have a very tight timeline to form Health Insurance Exchanges (HIEs) that will serve as the clearinghouse where millions of Americans will get access to health insurance, often with a federal subsidy. Much attention has been focused on getting the new Exchanges up and running, but the premise of this article is that in the very near future, when the HIEs are functional, the strategies and tools they will use to pay the plans and transfer resources from those plans with healthier enrollees to those with sicker ones, will rapidly become a top issue.
The analysis in this article applied the Johns Hopkins ACG System, a diagnosis-based risk-adjustment methodology widely used in over 15 nations, which is being made available to State exchanges as a public service of the University. For more information on this methodology, go to www.acg.jhsph.edu.

|Real Name: Niki Taylor
|Birthday: 5th March, 1975
|Agency: IMG Models, NY
|Bust-waist-hips: 34b-24-34
|Height: 5'11"
|Hair color: brown
Niki Taylor is one of the world's most famous supermodels, known around the world simply as Niki. At age fourteen, she landed some test shoots when her parents submitted some pictures of her dressed up in lipstick and eye shadow. During the review, a fashion photographer noticed her and a year later, she became the youngest model ever to appear on the cover of Vogue Magazine.
At age seventeen, Niki Taylor became the youngest person ever to sign a contract with Cover Girl - for $5 million dollars.
Niki has appeared on over 200 magazine covers, and has become one of the world's top supermodels, with her beauty, body, and charm. She has been seen on runways all over Europe and he United States modeling designer clothing.
Taylor is one of few supermodels who has been able to stay away from the problems of drugs and alcohol. When not on photo shoots, she is at home, caring for her children. She enjoys spending her time outdoors on the beach, jet skiing, hydro sliding and diving.
Even though she has staff to help around the house and with her kids, Niki still spends most of her time caring for her children. Her parents, Barbara and Ken, live in Pembroke Pines, Florida, where she grew up. She has two sisters, Krissy, who passed away at the age of 17, and 25 year old Joelle.
Niki Taylor is the CEO of her own company, "Niki Inc.", and is a model with IMG Models of New York. She earns $20,000 a day for her work, and is rumored to bring in over $8 million per year. She has substituted for Cindy Crawford as guest host of MTV's "House of Style", and has done some reporting for "Lifestyles of the Rich And Famous." She says, "Maybe I could do some acting in the near future. Something where I am not a model or a prostitute or a bimbo -- something challenging."
She does not have a favorite designer, and prefers to shop at the local
Gap. She enjoys Levi's, sweatpants, and sundresses.
Smoking used to be a bad habit of hers, but she quit when she became pregnant. Her motto is, "Stick to the basics, hold on to your family and friends - they will never go out of fashion."
The big break that shot her to the big-time world of sexy celebrity status was winning a spot in the 1997 and 1999 "Sports Illustrated" swimsuit issue. Another big break was a ten episode deal in the starring role of the smash-hot television reality show "Make Me a Supermodel" (2008-), where over a 12-week period, fourteen hopefuls live together in a New York City loft and explore friendships, romance and naked ambition while undergoing a series of creative challenges designed to test their professional modeling potential. This series explores what it takes to turn the exceptionally good-looking into the king or queen of the catwalk.

Peer Tutoring Schedule — Spring 2020
Note: To access this Google document, you'll need to be logged in to your Wheaton google account
Students can access both peer and professional tutoring. Students with writing assignments in any class, in any subject, are welcome. The peer tutors are current students with interests across the curriculum. Tutoring in writing is usually one-on-one. Writing tutoring takes place in the Madeline Clark Wallace Library. Please refer to our Writing Tutoring Schedule for current walk-in hours with a peer tutor. For more information about tutoring in writing, please visit Peer Tutoring in Wallace Library.
Subject Tutoring
We offer peer support for a variety of introductory courses.

Not just for tutoring, Kollett Hall is also available as a study space. Hours will be until midnight Sunday through Thursday once we are fully staffed.
Peer tutors are students who have been recommended by their professors for both their command of the subject material and their ability to work with other students. As they themselves have only taken the course in question once, their job is not to teach students the material. Instead, their goals are to help students figure out how to find successful approaches to specific questions and also to model how to be a successful student of their subject.
Peer tutoring is currently available at the introductory level in the following subjects:
- Accounting
- Art History

Replacing the old module on the Renault Megane II window - It's easy!
The problem
Very often, after investigating a problem with a Renault Megane /
Scenic 2 or Clio 3 window regulator, it will be found that the door
window mechanism is OK, but there is no drive from the motor.
Further checking will usually reveal that the motor itself is OK, and that the fault lies with the 6 pin motor control unit attached to it (also known as the motor module, regulator module or motor controller)
Repairers wishing to replace the whole window motor and module, or just the motor regulator module, will find that the original parts are not available from Renault, or from their agents.
The only solution from these sources is to buy the complete window regulator assembly at a cost of several hundred pounds.
Two simple and inexpensive solutions
We offer you the choice of purchasing either a new "mini cube"™
module from us, or a refurbished original Temic module from our associates,
QER Ltd.
Mini Cube™
New to the automotive spares after-market is the "mini cube"™
module from QDI Ltd, which is a simple plug-in replacement for the
original Renault 6-pin window motor control unit.
Simply remove the old module and plug the mini cube™ into the loom connector instead.
Just plugging in its two cables to the motor terminals completes the job.
There are no wires to cut or join, and no complicated wiring diagrams to follow.
All very straightforward - but we provide illustrated instructions anyway with every one.
The mini-cube is of a simplified design, with no connection to
the body control computer, which on the original is known to
occasionally result in unexpected operation of the windows.
One less thing to go wrong!
It is also fully encapsulated in fire-resistant, moisture-proof, epoxy resin to eliminate any possibility of water or moisture affecting operation (as happens in the original).
The simplified design means that it has no "one-touch" operation,
so the electric window motors only operate the windows whilst the
door window switch is pressed.
For those versions of the Renault Megane/ Scenic 2 model range which feature window roll up on remote locking, this feature is unfortunately lost.
Refurbished original Temic module
If you want to keep all your original "comfort" features,
including "one-touch" with anti-pinch, and "total closure" (roll up
on remote locking), you can choose to buy a refurbished original
Temic module from stock, from our associates, QER Ltd.
Most cabriolet / convertible owners will probably want to keep the "all windows" features, with the automatic window roll-down feature when operating the roof, and we recommend this option.
All modules are carefully inspected and tested for defects, and key components replaced.
The internal pcb is given a thick coating of moisture resistant lacquer, and is functionally tested before and after reassembly.
You can find our more about QER Ltd when you click the link.
