How To: Paint a Bathtub
Renew your loo by putting a fresh, clean coat on your worn-out old tub.
The focal point of a full bath is often its tub, which ought to be pristine and gleaming. If yours is pitted, chipped, or scratched—or sporting an old-fashioned color that no longer suits your style—you can spare yourself the bother and expense of ripping it out and replacing it. Options include putting in an acrylic liner for upwards of $300, or learning how to paint a bathtub with special epoxy, using a kit available at any home center for about $25. Reglazing the bathtub can be a bit tricky, but with the following steps, patience, and care, you'll get a porcelain-like finish that will last three to five years.
MATERIALS AND TOOLS Available on Amazon
– Caulk removal tool
– Bleach
– Abrasive cleanser (Comet or Soft Scrub)
– Sponge
– Acetone or paint thinner
– Epoxy putty or tub repair product
– 400 and 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper
– Clean towels
– Masking or painters' tape
– Tub refinishing kit (which includes epoxy paint)
– Mediumsized paint buckets with covers (2)
– Paint stirrers
– Brushes and/or paint rollers
– Caulk and caulking gun
Ready the tub: Start by removing the old caulk. (Note: If you don't have a specific caulk removal tool, a spackling knife or 5-in-1 painter's tool can sub in here.) Then carefully remove the drain hardware and any fixtures in the bathtub itself, using the correct tools and procedures for your situation.
Ventilate the space by opening windows and running fans. Then wash the bathtub with 10 percent bleach in water solution. Rinse well, and follow with an abrasive cleanser like Comet or Soft Scrub. After thoroughly rinsing, wipe a solvent such as acetone or paint thinner over the entire surface to remove any remaining grease or cleanser residue.
Fill any scratches, chips, or gouges with epoxy putty or tub repair product for a like-new surface. Let dry completely and then sand these areas smooth. Next, sand the entire bathtub with wet/dry sandpaper, first with 400 grit and then going over it again with finer 600 grit. This will rough up the gloss so that paint easily adheres.
Rinse the bathtub thoroughly with water and wipe it dry with clean towels or rags. Allow the tub to air dry fully—it must be free of moisture prior to painting.
When prepping for paint, use masking or painters' tape to protect the tile and fixtures around the bathtub. Then make sure your room is well ventilated and don your respirator or mask (epoxy paint is really stinky stuff).
Now, mix the paint in the tub refinishing kit according to the manufacturer's instructions. Many kits use a two-part epoxy paint that you'll need to combine prior to application. If that's the case, pour each part into one bucket to mix, then transfer half of that mixture into the second container to save for the second coat; cover tightly to prevent it from drying out. The mixing phase is crucial so don't play fast and loose with the directions!
If you know how to paint other surfaces like tile or drywall, you have some idea of how to paint a bathtub. Start at the top in one corner and working your way across and down to the other side. Apply in a thin, even coat, being careful to smooth out any drips as you go with your roller or brush. Epoxy paint has a self-leveling property, so don't be concerned if you see some bubbles or brush marks—these should disappear as it sets.
Allow the first coat to dry according to the manufacturer's instructions, and apply the second coat in the same way you did the first.
Epoxy takes time to fully cure, so heed the manufacturer's instructions on drying time. Don't use the tub until the paint has fully cured—even if it feels dry to the touch. Once cured, remove the tape, re-caulk the tub and re-install the fixtures and drain hardware.
Going forward, maintain the bathtub as you would any porcelain surface, with your choice of cleanser. But right now, run yourself a nice, warm bath—you deserve it!

We have seen before how easy it is to coat a wall with tables planks, and as you see the result is very good and at the same time economical. In this case to the coated wall we have added a lot of coat hangers, which makes this wall perfect for bars, restaurants or even schools, churchs or meeting spaces, giving to the space a cozy and practical touch.
Do you want to look for more pallet coverings?

Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig have been getting just about all of the hype from this summer's surprise blockbuster "Bridesmaids" -- and for good reason, because they're both totally awesome -- but the rest of the cast was pretty doggone sharp as well. Which is why we're so happy about the latest news: According to Variety, Wendi McLendon-Covey has just landed the lead role in the upcoming indie comedy "A White Trash Christmas."
Trash has never sounded so good.
Though Wendi is probably the most famous McLendon-Covey in the world, she's still not exactly a household name, so here's a quick refresher: Best known for her role as Deputy Clementine Johnson on "Reno 911!," McLendon-Covey has spent most of her career bouncing around sitcoms and low-budget indies. That, however, was before she nailed her "Bridesmaids" breakout role as Rita, the mother of three who gets most of her parenting skills from the bottom of a whiskey tumbler.
And the booze is going to keep on flowing in "A White Trash Christmas." Billed as a modern, humorous take on the classic Charles Dickens holiday tale "A Christmas Carol," "A White Trash Christmas" tells the story of "whiskey-soaked, trashy mother" who "is visited by three ghosts who try to show her a path to a brighter future."
They should probably just save their breath, though. For McLendon-Covey, that brighter future is clearly already here.

Hi, Thanks all for your responses. I understand that for accessibility users own choices of fonts should be respected, and that's fine, their own style sheet of browser settings can presumably force that. My website is not specifically designed for disabled people, I just think good design practice should just be accessible, without the fuss. So, my users are just regular web users and I wont be expecting them to install a font to look at the page. It does seem like my choice perhaps isnt too bad after all, from what I skim read in Jim's article but it doesn't look great on IE 5.5. font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; I just thought I might be missing something. I personally don't much like Jacob's Nielsen's font choices. I thought there might be guidelines as to which are the clearest and most accessible commonly installed fonts on people's computers. I guess The BBC and RNIB have made some sensible choices so I'll perhaps go take a peak there. I just thought there might be a definative answer from this group (am still a bit of a newbie!). Having been an interaction designer 11 years I still struggle with the answers the colleagues in my community offer on the subject of which colours work best. The answer is invariably 'it depends'. Rather than being a template set of colours that work quite well for most people. The latter I can use immediately, the former is an interesting idea but doesn't lead me away from my bad taste and ignorance! I fear this font issue is similar. 'It Depends' is my pet hated expression over-used by Interaction Designers! Cheers Carl -----Original Message----- From: Joe Clark [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] Sent: 26 August 2003 17:53 To: WAI-IG Subject: Re: Best font family for accessibility? / site check request Unfortunately, the answer to the question "What is the best font for a visually-impaired person?" is "Whatever that person prefers." Some people will choose poorly (I've read evidence that people read faster with a font slightly smaller than the size they consider optimal), but in general people know their own needs better than designers do. That's why we've got user stylesheets and font selectors in browsers. Cf., inter alia, <http://joeclark.org/design/print/readingthetube.html>. The issues are similar. -- Joe Clark | email@example.com Accessibility <http://joeclark.org/access/> Expect criticism if you top-postReceived on Tuesday, 26 August 2003 13:36:21 UTC

The project is estimated to generate 797 new jobs and $210 million of assessed value when fully developed."

The Microsoft Education Success Profile web page has a list of traits a successful Primary and Middle School teacher should have. Its pretty impressive, but it also points out that teaching and Design Thinking have a lot of core skills in common.
They are all here; Empathy, Bias Towards Action, Fluid & Flexible Thinking, Persistence, Challenging assumptions. Prototyping is even here if you consider that nearly every day a teacher starts a new exercise.
For that matter, maybe we need more teachers to run for public office, start new businesses or take over existing ones that are struggling. These skills are a recipe for success almost anywhere;
- Creativity: Generates many new and unique ideas; makes connections among previously unrelated notions; is unafraid to use unorthodox methods; is seen as original and value-added in brainstorming settings.
- Drive for results: Pursues everything with energy, drive, and a need to finish; does not give up before finishing, even in the face of resistance or setbacks; steadfastly pushes self and others for results.

2001 — Silent Witnesses
April 4 – 24
Members of SAGE (Student Advocates for Gender Equality) invite you to experience the Silent Witnesses Exhibit on the third floor of the Hamersly Library until the 24th of April. The Silent Witnesses represent some of the Oregon women who have died as the result of domestic violence.
A group of women artists created the first silent witness exhibit in Minnesota in 1990. By the summer of 1997, groups in all 50 states had created exhibits. These exhibits travel to different locations to raise awareness to end domestic violence.
The exhibit contains information on each of the women represented, information about the exhibits nationwide, and resources for domestic violence awareness.
For more information about the Silent Witnesses throughout the United States visit:

Curator: Student Advocates for Gender Equality

When it comes to styling in general, it can be tempting to cover every attachment with something because the misconception of looking "put together" is that you must put everything together. Simplicity can be a difficult style to pull off effortlessly, so I'll be honest and say this took some work. In fact, my final look was my third styling I had come up with. I was relatively pleased with the results, including my posing on stage. A lot of the contestants were very well-styled so I hope the judges felt I had one of the stronger overall looks and performances. I will continue to do my very best as Miss Virtual Canada and make everyone proud of me.
Thanks again for reading the post! I appreciate all the support!

A night at DemoCamp21!
By Marc Directo
Manager, The Forge accelerator
Changing my furnace filter, getting my oil changed, metrics for the Forge – all things I have to do every quarter. I don't always don't look forward to these things. What I do look forward to is DemoCamp!
DemoCamp, for the uninitiated, is an (approximately quarterly) event put on by our good friends at Software Hamilton – meant to showcase Hamilton companies and their products. It's a relaxed, friendly, "safe" environment to show people what you've been working on. For the audience, it's a fun way to find out about cool things going on in the community; for demoers, it's a way to get early validation and feedback so you know what you're working on is worthwhile.
I've been to a number of DemoCamps, and DemoCamp21 on June 24th had no shortage of impressive products showcased – from apps that help users handle stress, to games inspired by Norse mythology. All of this in one of the gems of Hamilton's event spaces – the Art Gallery of Hamilton's Joey and Toby Tanenbaum Pavilion. What was quite apparent is that there's no shortage of talent in Hamilton who are creating new and innovative products and I'm always inspired by what this city is churning out.
It would take too long to go into detail about each demo but here's a quick recap and some highlights:
Thrive Games throwing it back old school and making us all miss our NES and SNES's with their Dragon of Legends game demo
Comikka taking print comic strips out of the last century and into the digital world
Tribute Tree making it easier to pre plan for significant life events using your social networks
Dr. Anand making it fun and easy for kids to actually learn about CS concepts with his Image 2 Bits software
Riipen showing us how a squirrel with nuts might help companies hire qualified candidates
OneBase making the mundane (onboarding new employees) fun with their web based and mobile tool
Vicky from Take 5 helping people de-stress, and be more mindful using her mobile app
Quickhire and Magnet tackling post-secondary recruitment, by giving students the right tools for finding a job
Communote makes sharing documents simple and provides tools for content producers to actually get rewarded for their hard work
Medstack brings tools to developers to harness all of the health data being collected, in a seamless secure way
Overall, it was a great night filled with promising tech. Usually, there's a keynote speaker to start the festivities, but this "all-demo" rendition felt even more exciting and I'm proud of the innovation that's coming out of Hamilton. Each DemoCamp gets better and better, and I highly encourage you to attend the next one that Software Hamilton puts on. Check out softwarehamilton.com so you don't miss it!

Excellent piece today from Jared Moore. Take some time to read it.
We, being those of the SBC, are doing nothing about it. Replacing the proclamation of the word of God with dramatic thematic shows. But those who hold a dear view of expository preaching, and yes, I do mean preaching Christ crucified, and making the point the main point (thank you John Piper), would rather not ruffle the feathers of the those who clamor for more entertainment. Sunday morning worship begins and ends with our musical (um, choir) presentations.
I'm not at all advocating Sunday morning worship without music, or singing lustily (thank you Charles Wesley) unto the Lord. But I would much rather sing to the Lord than to be sung to.

The innovative nature of Saskatchewan's research community has led to Saskatchewan being recognized as the Canadian leader in agricultural biotechnology. The world is shifting its reliance from a non-renewable or petroleum based economy to a renewable bioeconomy. Saskatchewan is escalating its efforts and investments in science and technology for the new bioeconomy. The investments will expand agriculture beyond traditional food and feed to bio-based industrial and consumer products made from renewable feedstocks.
The work conducted by the research chairs in this area lays a foundation for the creation of new markets and additional demand for crops. The research may lead to realization of significant value-added potential for primary commodity crops produced in Saskatchewan.

Identity Theft
I read JT LeRoy's Sarah several years ago [Who is the Real JT LeRoy?, by Stephen Beachy, October 17]. There was one thing that stuck out that totally read fraud: a mention of his enjoying a crème brûlée after escaping the horrors of being held hostage at the hands of a perverted redneck. I hope he is a fake. I applaud the performance art and that it's gone on as long as it has.
Holly Jefferson Parsons, Jamaica Plain, Mass.
As JT's assistant, I was disappointed that the proof that I gave of the reality of JT LeRoy as the author of his own writing did not show up in this hatchet job parading as an exposé. Considering that Stephen Beachy is, after all, a fiction writer himself, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. As P. T. Barnum said, There's a sucker born every minute, and anyone who believes this article further proves it.
Nancy Murdock, Milton, Mass.
As someone who has spent almost ten years speaking to JT LeRoy, editing his manuscripts, comforting him, talking to his therapist, reading his work for him in public, and showing his manuscripts to editors (and, finally, to Joel Rose, which led to their publication), I cannot refute Beachy's allegations or theories for one simple reason: Nobody can prove that LeRoy has written a book after it has been published. And anyway, who's to say that Stephen Beachy really wrote this article? Where is the proof of that?
Bruce Benderson, Manhattan
Monkey Trial
Lf liberals need to pick their battles, Kurt Andersen should not be the one doing the picking [The Imperial City: Backward, Christian Soldiers!, October 17]. The most important battles are not fought when issues arise. They are fought every Novemberin voting boothsand they are not won by telling an 80 percent majority that their belief in Heaven is a medieval fever dream. Issues like intelligent design are being put in the hands of increasingly conservative and religious elected officials and their appointees because, like Henry Clay, liberals would rather be right than be president.
Brian Newman, Manhattan
Perhaps conservatives should look at the financial implications of teaching intelligent design as a science. How are we to compete in the global marketplace if the next generation of scientists has no appreciation of the rigors of the scientific method? Vaccines and microchips and even bunker-buster bombs aren't created because of a dutiful reading of the Bible. I know intellectual curiosity is not the hallmark of this administration, but if the sloppy thinking of our politicians does manage to pollute our schools, we may rest assured that the scientists of Europe, India, and the Far East will pick up the slack.
Bryan Williams, Manhattan
As a molecular biologist, I belong to the 5 percent that comprises atheists, or freaks. I can't think of another First World country where there are as many religious fanatics as in the United States. There has to be something very wrong with the school system here. There are no scientific data whatsoever to refute the evidence that evolution is the only explanation of life's origins and diversity.
Tatiana Slepak, Miami, Fla.
I'm on Kurt Andersen's side, except for one thing. Comparing the ID crowd to the Holocaust deniers is unfair and inappropriate. The latter are motivated by a real hatred of Jews. The ID crowd lacks malice; they're simply delusional.
Mel Kreitzer, Cincinnati, Ohio
In a free society like ours, even bad ideas have a right to be advanced by individuals who hold them.
Chris Segedy, Brooklyn
Mother Knows Best
I loved Amy Sohn's comment about her attempt to swaddle her new baby daughter [Mating: My Husband, My Rival, October 17]: If she could have held up her middle finger, she would have. A line from Hello, Dolly! says it best: It's so nice to have you back where you belong. We missed you.
Gail Farrelly, Bronxville, N.Y.

These entries are contributions I made 11 years ago to a brief, early internet experiment called, "The Hyperforum on Sustainability."
The most important are these:
- 11 Feb 1997 _ No world can be healthy when some of its communities are unhealthy
- 22 Feb 1997 _ Democracies, Jeffersonian and otherwise
- 27 Feb 1997 _ Local viability and long-term self destruction
- 27 Feb 1997 _ Well Said
I have the text of my own posts, but not of the other participants — and, in any case, I don't have their permission to reprint their words and probably couldn't track them down.
Still, though, I think my words then still have some value as articulating a fairly coherent philosophy of the political process, and of the ethics of our relationship, as a society, to our own members and to the members of other societies — to the Earth and to those who dwell on it. Admittedly, it's a philosophy, not an immediate plan of action — but I don't think that makes it any less important. Knowing where you're going is as essential as putting it into gear and stepping on the accelerator.
I've edited my originals slightly for readability. Otherwise, I've left in a lot of the extraneous chitchat. You may find it too tantalizing, or unfair, to read only my side of a many-sided conversation — but, in my mind, that's precisely the idea. I'd like to present what I said as unfinished, alive, part of an ongoing dialog. It's not supposed to be my definitive statement, informing you of unalterable truths. I'm not that pompous or that arrogant. There's no question of fairness or unfairness — it's merely a record of thoughts that passed through my mind during one particular period when I was lucky enough to converse with some intelligent and articulate people. Some of what I thought back then is worth preserving and reshaping into the needs of current conversations — but it's not an end in itself.

- 22 Feb 1997 _ A role for information technology

Your Issue Profile: 36% Obama, 64% McCain
When it gets down to it, you tend to best match John McCain.
But he's not the perfect candidate for you, and you may not be sold on him yet.
Obama shares a good number of your views too, so you might want to give him a second look.
It all comes down to which issues matter to you the most.

Remember 9/11
Remember 9/11
by Tinamarie Matsil on Saturday, September 11, 2010 at 3:47am
Today is 9/11 . the day that sticks in everyones mind, so i dont have to tell you to remember, what I would like to bring out however, is tha no matter what we think 9/11 was, a purpitrated take over for a significant amount of time, to bascally scare the shit out of americans and let them be so scared that we loose site of who we are. or we generally believe that it was a terristic attack and that we always have to be on the alert. Either way our loved ones were put in the line of fire. Those people died out there that day. Firemen and police gave their lives to try and save people. Who knew those buildings would collapse? I was listening to 101.5 the other day and they are building up for this day of remembering. A man came on and said his father was dying when this occured but he had stated when this happened and the buildings collapsed and the rescue effort was just like it felt in pearl harbor, and the patrioism was just like that. i remember people flying our flag and they were trying to show that they love this country. i love it too. this is by far the best country because of our freedoms. people are letting our freedoms go. We are letting the government and corrupt people on a small government take over. if 9/11 was meant to scare the pants off of us,let the government just take control, why cant we use it for the opposite? Everyone see's the corruption on a local national level, but nobody is willing to stand up if they do they stand alone and get shot down. We should remember this day and honor those people who died , not to have died in vain, but to resolve not to let anyone, and I mean anyone come and take our freedoms away., because that is what it was all about in the first place. our freedom. Look and pay attention to what is going on. health care bill says we have to have microchip in 36 months, if you dont believe me, prove me wrong. Harresment of good citizens by our own police that are meant to protect us, except we are treated like the criminal in alot of cases.
Drusgs are running rampade, think about this, we are getting set up again. Homeland security was on World news and pushing for the microchip. i do remember 9/11 and intend with every inch of my heart to honor their memories.... we should be angry as a nation and stand together not to let our freedoms die. all the rival gangs and all the rival churches and all the rival people have to band together at this critical time to stand against tyrrany.
Please for our childrens sake, reserch who is running in our governments. get to the polls and vote, because they end up making the decision for us and then we get corrupt people in government. i know economy sucks right now, but dont push it aside because i know you ae tired, so am i.. dont be too tired tio get involved with this, make it a priority or we as a naton are gonna lose. i don think it is too late yet. but it will be.. remember 9/11 , at that time, our country was prospering wasnt it? We got set up and its working .. we have to undo wht they did somehow. Well that is what was on my mind, i dont have the answers just alot of questions but i know we have to band together, that is one thing i know. Keep well and think about what i said and God Bless us all.

TradingScreen turned in a genuinely bravura performance in the 2016
Survey. In last year's Survey itreceived the fourth highestnumber of responses and itsscores while fully satisfactory werenot particularly distinguished. Bycontrast this year saw the firmreceive more responses than anyother provider, by some margin. Anumber of responses came fromclients in China and India as wellas the more establishedEuropean, North American andThe scores themselves sawmuch improved performance. Theoverall average was up by morethan 0.28 points, with gains ofmore than 0.50 points seen inboth the Timeliness of Updatesfor Broker Changes and ProductDevelopment. The firm's bestscore in 2015 was for Breadth ofAsset Class Coverage, where ithas long been considered aleader. This year scores weredown but still well ahead of all itsmajor competitors. It is alsoencouraging to note that despiteone client wanting to see betterClient Service, scores in this areawere 0.72 points above those of ayear ago. While some clients dohave views as to additionalproducts and services they wouldlike to see, pre-trade compliancewas the only one to generatemore than the odd mention. Inaddition, while inevitably someclients are looking around, thenumber suggesting they maychange providers was loweramong TradingScreen clientsthan across the overall Survey.

Hey everyone My names Sarah I post some pictures and talk some crap over here come check me out! I grew up at the bottom of New Zealand in Invercargill where Kasey happens to now live. After nearly 20 years I had to leave before I went insane and moved myself to the biggest City in the South Island – Christchurch where I have lived for the last 6 years. As you have probably heard (unless you live under a rock!) Christchurch has suffered 2 devastating earthquakes and thousand of aftershocks. Kasey has asked me to show you some of my favourite places in my city and I jumped at the chance for a challenge – the earthquake has destroyed our central city, a lot of my favourite restaurants and shopping places are now rubble so I had to make the most of what we still have here!
Its hard to pick just one or two favourite places but one place I love to go to is The Flying Burrito Brothers for dinner:
Their Quesadilla's are to die for and you must have a frozen Margarita! Check them out here
They were in the central city but have thankfully relocated to Papanui right by Northlands Mall.
James (the bf) and I went to a lovely Thai restaurant in the CBD which unfortunately has been bowled, but the second best Thai Ive had was at the Thai Rendezvous on Barrington Street – so many yummy choices! My fav is anything with cashews in it <3
Shopping in Christchurch has also changed after the earthquake, the city centre was a great shopping area with a vast variety of shops, some shops are now operating in the suburbs or even from peoples homes, but I find it easier now to just go to a mall where you have everything. I live about a block away from Riccarton Mall so I accidentally frequent it a lot. Riccarton is quite a big suburb with everything you need from supermarkets to the mall to plenty of restaurants and bars also. I'm a bit boring with my shopping sorry, If I want to get a bargain or a vintage item I just hope on good ol trademe !
I like to get out and about when I can– especially now that the weather is beginning to warm up. A few of my favourite spots to go are:
Hagley Park. A massive park in the centre of Christchurch that's great for getting some fresh air. You can walk around one of the tracks, play netball at the courts, or other sports on one of the fields or wander a bit further and you will end up at the Botanical Gardens. Luckily for us we are a short walk away from the park.
Being into cars we often like to cruise out to Sumner and park up and sit on the grass and catch up with mates. Its great for a lazy Sunday. There also happens to be a beach and the sea right there which is always nice on a hot day, a massive rock to climb and a few shops and cafes.
Lastly James and I were bored one weekend so went for a drive out of town and ended up at Leithfield a short drive out of Christchurch. Again there is a lovely beach right there that we went for a walk on and we then headed to the pub for a yummy lunch. We played some pool and ate our lunch outside in the sun. Cant wait to go again soon!
Well that's about it folks, hope you have enjoyed getting to know me and my fair city. I hope to see you around. Thanks again Kasey for the invite!

SSAE 18 Competitive Advantage
Payroll Partners Selling Workforce Management Software
Financial & HR services providers like PEO's, professional employee organizations, payroll providers, benefits administrators, HR services companies and others benefit by attracting more business if they know how to leverage and understand how SSAE 18 reports from service providers give them a competitive advantage. For the most part, both public and private companies are held to at least some, if not all, portions of the Sarbanes-Oxley mandates often called Sarbox or SOX. Thus, pushing service providers to go through a third party SSAE 18 audit actually shows potential clients as well as other business relationship suiters that they have passed a set of complex management, security and readiness reviews. Service providers that obtain SSAE 18 reports are confident and able to meet new vendor criteria above those they are competing against. Resellers and other partners that learn to leverage this advantage by building their service business around choosing service providers who make available their SSAE 18 report letter, could set new benchmark criteria that help set them apart from the competition.
Competitive Advantage
Payroll and professional employee organizations have a competitive advantage over provider companies that are not working with a service provider who has undergone the complex SOC 2 / SSAE 18 audit and has the letter of recommendation. Resellers of professional employee services that learn how to set the bar high by recommending to their potential clients to make having the SSAE 18 report a requirement are able to raise client awareness, setting higher requirement benchmarking and increase revenue growth because they provide these extra assurances of compliance.
The extra value of educating creates client awareness raises the bar for higher client satisfaction due to a sense of security over sensitive information. "Public Company Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act" or SOX, is a United States federal law that sets new or expanded requirements for all U.S. public company boards, management and public accounting firms. There are also a number of provisions of the Act that apply to privately held companies, for example, the willful destruction of evidence to impede a Federal investigation.
SSAE 18 Types
The SOC 1 / SSAE 18 report provides assurance regarding the controls at a service organization relevant to the user entities' internal control over financial reporting. Ensuring that a service provider has internal control over financial reporting helps a client to know that the service provider has an understanding of SOX and internal controls at service organizations that may affect their clients' financial statements.
Knowing that your service provider obtained a SOC 1 /SSAE 18 report does differentiate their and your offering by ensuring the establishment of effectively designed controls and subsequently providing your customers with the peace of mind to engage with your organization.
Here is an example of the two types of SSAE 18 reports, Type 1 & Type 2:
Type 1 – The Type 1 report focuses on management's description of the service organization's system as well as the suitability of the design of its controls and their ability to achieve the related control objectives. A Type 1 reports on a service organization's controls as of a specific date in time.
Type 2 – The Type 2 report provides the same components as a Type 1 report with the addition of an opinion on the operating effectiveness of the controls to achieve the related control objectives. A Type 2 report also includes a detailed description of the service auditor's tests of the operating effectiveness of the controls and the results of those tests. A Type 2 reports on a service organization's controls over the course of a specific review period.
How do you know if it's worth changing service providers or minimally asking the status of your current service providers plans for obtaining a SSAE 18 report? Here's the short list why:
- A competitive advantage against similar companies who have not received a SSAE 18 report
- Able to meet contractual requirements
- Demonstrated internal controls benchmarking
- Revenue growth due to an increase in clientele

Event: SETI Institute Weekly Colloquium: Sustainable Energy Now and in a Livable Future
Date: December 20, 2016 Duration: 97 minutes
It has been scientifically clear for some time that the global community must decarbonize the energy and material system entirely by mid-century. In additional recent energy future scenarios have highlighted the pathways to reach this dramatic decarbonization objective on household to village to national and regional levels. The short—few decade—time needed for this transition demands a rapid scale- up on current and near-term technologies, while the long-term complete energy sector transition opens the door for an innovation and industrial transformation program. In this talk both the near- and long-term energy vision will be explored in the context of a clean energy economy, and the social and equity implications.

Big Draft Wilderness
Area ManagementThe Big Draft Wilderness is part of the 110 million acre National Wilderness Preservation System. This System of lands provides clean air, water, and habitat critical for rare and endangered plants and animals. In wilderness, you can enjoy challenging recreational activities like hiking, backpacking, climbing, kayaking, canoeing, rafting, horse packing, bird watching, stargazing, and extraordinary opportunities for solitude. You play an important role in helping to "secure for the American people of present and future generations the benefits of an enduring resource of wilderness" as called for by the Congress of the United States through the Wilderness Act of 1964. Please follow the requirements outlined below and use Leave No Trace techniques when visiting the Big Draft Wilderness to ensure protection of this unique area.
General Wilderness ProhibitionsMotorized equipment and equipment used for mechanical transport is generally prohibited on all federal lands designated as wilderness. This includes the use of motor vehicles, motorboats, motorized equipment, bicycles, hang gliders, wagons, carts, portage wheels, and the landing of aircraft including helicopters, unless provided for in specific legislation.
In a few areas some exceptions allowing the use of motorized equipment or mechanical transport are described in the special regulations in effect for a specific area. Contact the Forest Service office or visit the websites listed for more specific information.
These general prohibitions have been implemented for all national forest wildernesses in order to implement the provisions of the Wilderness Act of 1964. The Wilderness Act requires management of human-caused impacts and protection of the area's wilderness character to insure that it is "unimpaired for the future use and enjoyment as wilderness." Use of the equipment listed as prohibited in wilderness is inconsistent with the provision in the Wilderness Act which mandates opportunities for solitude or primitive recreation and that wilderness is a place that is in contrast with areas where people and their works are dominant.
Wilderness-Specific RegulationsWilderness managers often need to take action to limit the impacts caused by visitor activities in order to protect the natural conditions of wilderness as required by the Wilderness Act of 1964. Managers typically implement 'indirect' types of actions such as information and education measures before selecting more restrictive measures. When regulations are necessary, they are implemented with the specific intent of balancing the need to preserve the character of the wilderness while providing for the use and enjoyment of wilderness.
The following wilderness regulations are in effect for this area. Not all regulations are in effect for every wilderness. Contact the Forest Service office or visit the websites listed for more specific information about the regulations listed.
-- No permit or fee is required to enter or camp in the Big Draft Wilderness.
-- Group size is limited to no more than 10 people per party.
-- All food and refuse must be stored in bear-resistant containers or suspended at least 10 feet off of the ground and 4 feet away from the supporting tree or pole.
-- Do not discard of any food, refuse, or bear attractant unless it is on a trash receptacle which has been provided by the Forest Service for that purpose.
-- Do not burn or bury food, refuse, or bear attractants.
-- As with all designated Wilderness areas, mechanical transportation (including wagons, game carts, bicycles, and other vehicles) is prohibited.
-- Camping is prohibited within 200 feet of any stream or trail.
-- Do not camp at trailheads.
-- Pack or saddle stock is prohibited on the Blue Bend Loop trail due to the trail's steep nature.
-- Please note that many trails in the Big Draft Wilderness are steep and rocky and not conducive to stock use.

Hey ya'll! I've teamed up with Sparkling in Second, Peppy Zesty Teacher, Teach Create Motivate, and Third in Hollywood for the TPT Seller Challenge. These ladies have helped get my butt into gear and motivated me to get some things done in my TPT store that I've been putting off. I'll be participating in a 4 week challenge to step up my game!
Week 1 was all about product makeovers. I became a seller on TPT in September of 2012. Over the past 2.5 years I've grown so much as a seller and I like to think that I finally found my niche. My Place Value Activity Pack: Hundreds, Tens, and Ones was my very FIRST product uploaded to TPT. I was so PROUD of what I had accomplished. After it was uploaded, I went to school the next day and could not shut up about it to my partner teacher at the time. We immediately put it good use and it quickly became a BEST SELLER in my TPT store!
At the time I was very proud of what I had accomplished but when I looked at it now, it was something that needed a definite makeover with improved creative juices. When this challenge first started it was exactly what I needed to get this baby updated to MY current standards! After tweaking it over the past few days, I am super proud of how it has turned out.
When I got started on this it made my eyes hurt! I used free fonts, my backgrounds were somewhat blurry, and I hated the clip art. Most of my answer sheets were very plane without any sort of character at all. It got a complete facelift!
What do you think?
It includes 5 task card activities to help teach and review place value up to 999. All of these activities can be used for whole or small group instruction. They can easily be placed in a center to independent practice or done with a partner.
If you own this unit PLEASE go redownload it NOW! :)
If you don't own this unit, I've put it ON SALE through tomorrow 6/20/15! You an grab it for
20% OFF in my TPT store!
I hope you enjoy and love this update as much as I do.

THAD COCHRAN CAMPAIGN MANAGER Busted in Vote Buying Scheme
Democrat Reverend Stevie Fielder says he delivered hundreds or thousands to the polls last week and was told to pay $15 to each voter.
GotNews reported, via Free Republic:
Democrat black reverend, who brought "hundreds" to the polls for promise of payment, exposes alleged massive voter fraud, vote buying operation by Cochran campaign.
A black reverend stiffed by the Cochran campaign has exposed an alleged criminal conspiracy by Cochran staffers to commit massive voter fraud ahead of Tuesday's controversial U.S. Senate Republican runoff election in Mississippi.
Reverend Stevie Fielder, associate pastor at historic First Union Missionary Baptist Church and former official at Meridian's redevelopment agency, says he delivered "hundreds or even thousands," of blacks to the polls after being offered money and being assured by a Cochran campaign operative that Chris McDaniel was a racist. "They [the Cochran campaign] told me to offer blacks fifteen dollars each and to vote for Thad."
It is illegal under several provisions of Mississippi law and federal law for campaign officials to bribe voters with cash and punishable up to five years in jail. (MS Code 97-13-1; MS Code 97-13-3 (2013) (Federal Code 18 U.S.C. 597, U.S.C. 1973i(c)) Voter fraud schemes are not unusual for Mississippi. In 1999 Mississippi's attorney general reported massive voter fraud allegations throughout the Magnolia state. In 2011, a Mississippi NAACP leader was sent to prison for voter fraud, according to the Daily Caller.

On May 1, 2017, the FDIC released an update to its guidance on the de novo banking – "Applying for Deposit Insurance – A Handbook for Organizers of De Novo Institutions." The updated guidance purports to provide organizers with a "clear and transparent explanation of the path to obtaining deposit insurance." This may be the FDIC's response to the 2014 joint letter of the American Association of Bank Directors (AABD) and the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) in which the AABD and the ICBA recommended that the FDIC issue a new Financial Institution Letter (FIL) to "to help dispel misconceptions and reaffirm the FDIC's support for the formation of de novo banks." These misconceptions relate to the uncertainty in the application process, the second-guessing of business plans for a de novo bank, capital requirements, examination schedules and the degree of regulatory oversight during the first seven years. The FDIC appears to be on a "get-out-the-message" campaign that de novo banking is back and the FDIC is poised to provide guidance on the process.
The banking group at Duane Morris has been involved in de-novo banking for over 40 years. We've advised on the de novo process and assisted in the formation of many banks throughout the Western United States and have represented these same banks throughout their life cycle. The recent recession which was sparked by excessive risk-taking by some financial institutions led to a shift in the FDIC's regulatory philosophy towards more oversight and a period of consolidation. It appears that we are coming out of this period with a possible shift in the regulatory philosophy at the FDIC on de novo banking. To make this point, the FDIC has held industry outreach meetings in San Francisco, New York, Atlanta, and Dallas to inform industry participants about the FDIC's application process and has planned additional outreach events on May 12, 2017, in Kansas City, Missouri, and May 31, 2017, in Chicago, Illinois.
It appears that we may be entering (finally) the cycle of de novo banks which would add to the health of the community banking industry. Small businesses may finally rejoice in the return of specialized relationship banking.
The FIL/Guidance can be found here: https://www.fdic.gov/news/news/financial/2017/fil17017.pdf
