Resi-Cost Reviews
Best online home cost estimating software
Comments: It takes a little practice to become proficient at using the software, but once learned, I can prepare a cost estimate for a home in under 4 hours. I like that you can get within about 5% +/- with somewhat limited information. The type of information on a Magazine or web page design, along with knowing the level of finishes, will allow you to complete the estimate. I like that you can share the information with prospective clients from a general level to extremely detailed. Using the program gives confidence to them in our expertise. It works well as a "Reality Check" for clients whose expectations are too high. It prevents wasted design time by then allowing you to design to a budget.
This is a unique, professional, and more inclusive estimating program that is locally accurate
Comments: Unlike most of the estimating programs out there, Home-Cost has a system based a approach which is reality, we cannot have a particular material without its supporting building materials and installation. Also, Home-Cost has the ability to be sensitive to local building markets as well as offer a variety of qualities and options.
Home-Cost is a more sophisticated and easier approach to a very complex issue.
Excellent Tool....sharp as a chisel
Comments: I've used this program for many years. It is an excellent tool to help alleviate a clients concerns over the cost of a new home. It gives them a very open book view of the details of where the costs come from and how their decisions affect the bottom line. It allows the client to take a level of control when they need it the most.

Joe Lieberman wants a "war tax." This is where my high school English teacher would have written "NS.". Duh! Every war we've been in, we've raised taxes, and it's controversial whether we should raise them now? We're spending billions a day on Iraq, and the debt is up $3 trillion since Bush entered office, and it's controversial? We have become the ultimate taxophobic society, willing to sell our children into slavery to China rather than pay another 4 or 5 percent in income taxes. The Scandinavian countries have income tax rates approaching 80% and some of the most stable and productive economies, while the U. S. has an obscenely low maximum rate of 35% and an economy that tanks at the slightest ripple.
Okay, got that venom out.
As Alon Levy pointed out, I screwed up a bit. I originally said that Scandinavian countries have income tax rates approaching 50%, rather than 80%.

IMPHAL,6th Oct: Alleging slow response of the police over the mob violence which occurred in the village on October 3, Phoibut (Charoi Chagotlong Part 1) Village Authority election secretary Paul Golmei has said that the unfortunate incident could have been averted if police responded to the report of the village authority in time.
Speaking to media persons during a visit to the village on Friday, Paul informed that the mob violence originated from an incident of September 20 when one Lujangngam Gonmei (22) son of Gonbilung Gonmei created some ruckus in the house of one Dithailung Gangmei of the village on September 20 night.
Soon after the incident, Gonbilung apologised on behalf of his son to Dithailung while filing a complaint to the village court. Subsequently, the village court resolved the issue on September 26 without any objection from Dithailung and his family.
However, on October 2, Tupul Village Council served a notice instructing Lujangngam to come to the council's office the following morning while threatening of ouster from the village if he does not come. Sensing trouble over the nature of the notice, he did not go to the council's office. Later, at about 4 pm, around 50 to 60 people armed with weapons came to the house of Lujangngam in several vehicles and vandalised the properties while asking him to leave the village. They also killed a pregnant cow and took it away, he claimed.
He further said that the village authority gave prior information to Noney police station hinting possible occurrence of violence. However, police did not responded to their information and came only after the incident had occurred. The incident had rendered the family homeless, he said while condemning the failure of police in protecting public lives and properties. Expressing uncertainty of any eventuality, he appealed to the authority concerned to look into the matter and book those involved in the incident.

Staff Appreciation & Recognition Plan
Revised July 3, 2018
Taxability of Certain Employee Achievement Awards - Effective January 1, 2018
|The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (P.L. 115-97) impacts the taxability of certain types of employee achievement awards provided by an employer. Effective January 1, 2018, gift cards are excluded from the definition of tangible personal property, therefore the value of gift cards provided by the University to an employee for an employee achievement may be considered taxable wage income. For more information, view the UC Office of the President Memo. For more information on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, please click here.
University of California Local Guidelines for the Staff Appreciation and Recognition Plan
|These guidelines serve as a framework for implementation of cash recognition awards for employees under the Staff Appreciation and Recognition Plan (the "STAR Plan") at the Riverside campus.
Plan Eligibility
|Policy-covered career PSS and MSP employees as well as exclusively represented employees in the Clerical unit (CX) are eligible for STAR Plan cash awards if, at the time of the award, they:
In addition, policy-covered and CX represented employees with the following types of appointments are also eligible to participate in STAR at this location, provided that they meet the above requirements: contract, per diem, limited, and casual restricted. See the STAR Plan for additional eligibility criteria.
All other exclusively represented employees and Senior Management Group (SMG) members are not eligible for recognition awards under the STAR Plan. An employee may not receive an award under the STAR Plan if the employee is a participant in an incentive award plan that prohibits the receipt of a recognition award.
An employee's receipt of an award under the STAR Plan does not establish any right or guarantee that the employee will be eligible for or entitled to an award in any subsequent Plan year.
Award Limits and Restrictions
The following limitations apply to STAR Plan cash awards. No exceptions will be made to the monetary award limits.
Nomination Process
| All STAR Plan award nominations must be documented on the STAR Nomination Form to ensure consistent and thorough recordkeeping.
The employee's department head is responsible for confirming that the employee is eligible for an award and must approve the employee's award, regardless of the funding source for the award.
Plan Criteria
|The STAR Plan provides a mechanism to recognize, acknowledge and reward employees for exceptional performance and/or significant contributions related to and supportive of individual, departmental, divisional and or organizational goals and objectives. Individuals and teams may be nominated for demonstrating:
In addition to meeting one of the standards of performance, every STAR award should support and further the accomplishment of at least one of UCR's 2020 Path to Preeminence strategic goals. These goals are:
STAR Nomination Form
Award Review and Approval Authority
|The process for all STAR Plan cash awards requires an endorsement from the employee's immediate supervisor and approval of the next level manager, awards over $500 also require department head approval.
Timing and Processing of STAR Award Payments
STAR awards may be presented at any time during the Plan year and should be awarded as soon as possible after the accomplishment or event in order to provide immediate recognition to employees.
The assigned Description of Service (DOS) code XSC, specific to the STAR Plan, must be used when paying IAP funded awards to employees. All STAR Plan cash awards for the Plan year should be processed in accordance with year-end closing schedules.
For instructions on how to process STAR award payments, please visit the STAR Plan Payment Guidelines web page.
Funding Requirements and Restrictions
|STAR awards will be funded locally. Available funds for awards will be based on a fiscal year cumulative payroll assessment of .89 percent. Awards may not be supplemented by departmental funds. Unused funds assessed during the previous year may be rolled over and used in the current year.
Recordkeeping and Compliance
A copy of each organizational unit's implementation procedures should be sent to Human Resources. Documentation concerning nominations and approved awards must be maintained by each organizational unit. Each organizational unit is responsible for maintaining appropriate budget tracking and controls.
The Office of the President will conduct periodic audits to ensure that locations are in compliance with the STAR Plan. Copies of documentation must be made available to Human Resources upon request.
Plan Contact for Questions
|Questions regarding the STAR Plan should be directed to John-Stephen Henderson at extension 2-2256 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Are we still imperialistic meddlers? We (UK, our politicians, our Government) do so often come across as having tunnel vision – and furthermore the tunnel appears to have a bend in it a short distance ahead, cutting off any extended vision! We just don't seem to be able to see the consequences of our actions.
Forget our interference in the Middle East from early in the last century, brought about by our desire for oil and our belief in our own racial superiority. But we invaded Iraq on the say-so of probably the worst President the US has ever had, and when Bush declared to the world that the mission had been accomplished, he clearly didn't understand what he had started. And to this day Blair claims that Iraq is a better place now than it was under Saddam Hussein: there are many who disagree!
Afghanistan has been a more complex problem in many ways – certainly some reaction to the 9/11 attack was necessary. However when the US starts something it seldom knows how to finish it, and it seems likely that when we all pull out of Iraq, the nation building will go into reverse.
Syria: now that is a real mess. It seems that Assad was responsible for the start of the uprising, in conjunction with climate change. He failed to support farmers during extreme drought conditions and to survive, the farmers were forced to move to the cities, where work was scarce, accommodation limited and discontent was rife.
Meanwhile we went in to Libya with all guns blazing, to claim our bit of the Arab Spring. I don't suggest that that particular action was not justified – many lives were saved. But in the aftermath, our rhetoric was not constructive, with the result that the Syrian 'rebels' assumed that we (the West) would do for them what we had done for the Libyans. We did very little to discourage that view, whittering on as we did about Assad's time being up etc. etc. Because we made it very clear which side we were on, the rebels thought they were onto a winner, in the mistaken belief that the West had their back; and of course that drew in a few outside interests like Al Qaeda, and other wannabe jihadists – until gradually the rebels (or 'opposition') became an increasingly fragmented collection of groups, mostly with differing agendas.
What next? Oh, yes! We and the French vetoed the continuation of the European arms embargo on Syria! I don't know who we think we are but a superpower we are not. All other European countries opposed this veto, but we knew bestand that veto certainly fired up the rebels. It also had a few other rather serious consequences. First, Russia indicated that it would consider it permissible to send arms to Assad's forces. Then Lebanon became involved and Hezbollah sent in the troops to support Assad, which put the rebels in retreat. All this has increased the mass of refugees to neighbouring countries, who are scarcely equipped to cope. Another interesting consequence is that Austria has withdrawn her troops from the UN Peacekeeping force in the Golan Heights, making the border between Syria and Israel more vulnerable and sending out all the wrong signals. Israel of course is, as usual, a little paranoid as well as being well armed!
But why did we insist that the arms embargo be lifted? Oh yes, to send a signal which was supposed to make Assad come to the negotiating table! Yeah, right…As if he needs to! He has no scruples about wiping out anyone in his way – and if we do send in arms, who do we send them to? We just don't know who is in charge or who will be in a week's time. But by our grand gesture we have opened the floodgates, provoking an escalation in hostilities, and increasing the potential for neighbouring countries, with their sponsors, to be drawn in. Each side of the conflict is being brutal, and probably each side is using chemical weapons – why wouldn't they? Assad is rightly confident that Obama's 'red line' on that subject was meaningless.
If we had used different rhetoric after Libya, proclaimed our neutrality regarding Syria from the start, and worked to broker a deal from that neutral position instead of saying 'Assad must go!', thousands of lives could have been saved, thousands of refugees might still have a home, and neighbouring countries might have stayed at home.
But Assad's approach to human rights is unacceptable! Of course it is, as was Saddam Hussein's and Gaddafi's, both erstwhile Western allies, loosely speaking, (remember the Blair embrace?) but so is Saudi Arabia's, so is Bahrain's. And consider the consequence of a rebel victory in Syria! I know what it would not be – peace!
We cannot remodel the world's nations in the way some would like. It is presumptuous in the extreme to try, particularly in the light of a strong groundswell of opinion in England against letting anyone enter, or interfere with, the UK!
Our 'special relationship' with the USA has dragged us into no end of scrapes – why do we think it is so valuable? It is after all a two way street, isn't it? Maybe we should just acknowledge the fact that the USA is on the way down and China is on the way up, and that we are a little peripheral country who ought to mind its own business! The only reason we are occasionally invited to the top table is because we are a nuclear power – and there seems to be a diminishing justification for that! It draws in the terrorists like moths round a flame, but if a terrorist went nuclear, who would we fire ours at? We would be like a blind man in a crowded room with a machine gun.
I try to live by this maxim; 'Happiness lies in being content with what you've got.' It works for me; perhaps it would work for Britain.

The U.S. hotel industry continued to post year-over-year improvements, according to February statistics released by Smith Travel Research. Overall monthly increases were realized in occupancy (5.2 percent), average daily rate (2.5 percent) and revenue per available room (7.9 percent). Super Bowl-host Dallas led the way in terms of both average daily rate, which rose 22.7 percent over last year, and RevPAR, which skyrocketed by nearly 36 percent. Three additional markets enjoyed double-digit increases to February's average daily rate -- San Francisco/San Mateo, Calif.; Los Angeles-Long Beach, Calif.; and Oahu, Hawaii. Those markets also posted RevPAR jumps of more than 20 percent, as did Orlando. The luxury chain scale segment outdid all lesser properties, with significant increases to occupancy (6 percent), rate (5.6 percent) and RevPAR (12 percent).

athletes foot
tinea pedis is the most common dermatophyte infection, usually found in adolescents and young adults. Characteristically, it is found in the toe webs, especially the fourth, where the tissue tends to be macerated, white and cracked. Infection can spread to the soles, heels and borders of the foot ('mocassin' type). Pain and Pruritus may occur. Dry fissuring of the infected area may provide a sit...
dorsal interossei muscles
the dorsal interossei are larger than the plantar interossei. They sit in the fourth and deepest layer of muscles of the sole of the foot. The dorsal interossei of the foot are four muscles on each side which act to abduct the second to fourth toes from the axis of the second toe and assist in flexing the metatarsal-phalangeal (MTP) joints as well as extending the interphalangeal (ITP) joints
ask the patient to pull the top of his foot up towards himself against examiner's resistance
Dupuytren's contracture of the foot
Dupuytren's contracture of the foot fibromatous nodules form in the plantar fascia and long plantar ligament, this condition results in a gradual tightening of the ligament and fascia. This may eventually cause marked clawing of the toes, and discomfort and mobility restrictions follow
eversion position
the patient's foot so that it is partially everted - then ask the patient to resist the examiner pushing it back to the neutral position
flat foot
flat foot is a lack of the medial arch of the foot. The development of the medial arch occurs within 2-3 years of walking. In younger children the medial arch is largely obliterated by a fat pad.
flexor digiti minimi brevis
flexor digiti minimi brevis of the foot is one of the deep third layer of muscles on the plantar surface of the foot. Its action is to flex the metatarsophalangeal joint of the small toe. It originates from the base of the fifth metatarsal and the adjacent tendon sheath of peroneus longus. It inserts into the base of the proximal phalanx of the little toe on its lateral side.
flexor digitorium longus
flexor digitorum longus is one of the deep muscles of the posterior lower limb. It originates from the posterior and middle third of the tibia below the soleal line, and the adjoining interosseous membrane. Its tendon passes inferiorly posterior to the medial malleolus and around the sustentaculum tali to enter the sole of the foot. In a plane more superficial to flexor hallucis, it divides into f...
flexor hallucis longus
flexor hallucis longus is one of the deep muscles of the posterior compartment of the leg. Its actions include (but are not limited to) : flexion of all the joints of the great toe, plantarflexion of foot, supports the medial longitudinal arch
foot drop a
patient with foot drop is unable to walk on his heels and cannot dorsiflex his foot.
foot gout
Podagra is gout of the foot, but most specially the metatarsophalangeal joint of the big toe. In severe cases the metatarsal-phalangeal and tarsal joints are involved. At these sites there is swelling, redness, heat and tenderness. Local treatment - not related to the systemic treatment of gout itself - involves application of anti-inflammatory drugs and resting the foot.
foot massage
A broad term for applying the techniques of massage therapy to the feet. This is not to be confused with Reflexology (applying pressure to specific points)
foot warts
these are deep-seated, firm, hyperkeratotic lesions on the sole of the foot. They may be single or multiple and are involuted as pressure prevents their normal outward expansion. They are painful due to pressure on nerves.
(19 bones) 5 metatarsals and 5 toes each with 3 phalanges (except the big toe with only 2)
position the foot as for testing eversion - this time ask the patient to resist the examiner as he tries to pull it back to the neutral position
away from the midline
fibrous tissue that holds organs of the body in place and fastens bones together
plantar flexion
Ask the patient to push the top of his foot downwards against the examiner's resistance
plantar interossei muscles
the plantar interosseous muscles are part of the fourth and deepest layer of muscles in the sole of the foot. There are three plantar interossei and they are smaller than the dorsal interossei.

We all need a spacious kitchen, as we spend most of the time there, either preparing the lunch for us or our family, or enjoying family dinners, or making a special dessert etc. Therefore, we seek to have generous spaces in our kitchens, in order to feel more comfortable and happy with our home.
Space-Saving Ideas for Making Room in the Kitchen
- Brian Patrick Flynn, the famous designer, observed the potential of his friends' kitchen and encouraged them to win more space by unifying it with the dining room. He concentrated on creating enough space in which four people should feel comfortable enough.
- Brian begun by imagining how the four people would seat at the main table. Then, he decided to change the color of the walls, by adding green and olive.
- Other actions consisted from removing an old radiator that was occupying some unused space, and replacing it with a small wooden table. He has chosen to use stackable stools in order to win more space for the kitchen.
- Another innovative solution was to introduce a lighted pot rack for keeping the cookware.
- He also included an open storage for bowls, cups, glasses, etc.
- The next stage was to introduce the coffee cup holder.
- Then, he chooses to use a soap dispenser in order to convey an atmosphere of contemporary style and add a rustic element.
- In order to save more space, the designer decided to have a cabinet door for one of the base cabinets. The cabinet door was attached a paper towel holder.
- Afterwards, he wanted to introduce some sophisticated kitchen accessories: the spice jars with green color that would fit perfectly to the olive and green from the walls.
- The deep base cabinets were filled up with pan racks that should be perfect for an efficient storage.
- In order to use the space from the cabinets mounted on the walls in a more effective manner, wire racks were used as to ensure the perfect conditions for storage.
- Finally, the wine storage was introduced on a vertical basis.
We presented some useful ideas for saving space in your kitchen, by depositing items in an efficient manner, reducing irrelevant objects, or adding colors that are more vibrant. Nevertheless, anyone can apply all this advice within their own home, and this can really transform their lives, by improving the atmosphere from the house.

Hello friends,
Is it just me or is this year is flying by??
Quite scary really, whilst I'm trying to get my summer body into play, it seems the retail world is wanting to challenge me with yet another Chocolate fest! Yes we are all guilty of it… using Easter as an excuse to get chocolate rich.
Now although I have nothing against chocolate, I decided to play around with some savoury dishes to come up with a new raw recipe to take the edge off my guilty head with all the feasting I'm doing.
I'm not usually one to go for Italian food as it leaves me feeling extremely heavy and sluggish but this dish is so much more than your everyday pizza/pasta… Raw Lasagne is the 'bomb'. This dish is raw, vegan and free from gluten, dairy, wheat and all of the heavy bloating guilt. Super easy too.
Shopping list
5-7 courgettes
Bunch of spring onion
Bunch of parsley
Bunch of basil
Bunch of dill
Bunch of thyme
Cherry tomatoes
A bag of spinach
2 chard leaves
A bag of kale
300g of pinenuts
A deep lasagne dish is necessary for this beauty!
– Slice 5 of the courgettes into thin strips (if feeling rather lazy, you can buy pre sliced courgette) and set to one side
– Add the parsley, basil, thyme, kale, chard leaves ( leave out the stalks), cherry tomatoes, spring onion to the blender and mix for 1 minute until all combined and smelling fresh.
– Once you've made your filling, pour mixture into a bowl and place in the fridge whilst we make our pine nut cheese!
– Now for the creamy goodness : into a clean blender, add in the rest of the ingredients. All of the pinenuts, the spinach, a handful of dill and thyme, the chard stalks, and 2 chopped courgettes.
– Blend the ingredients all it becomes a creamy thick delicious whirl of pinenut cheese.
– Now for the fun part! Layer the base of the dish with courgette, then add 2-3 spoonfuls of your filling and spread evenly.
– Add another layer of courgette, the filling and now for the creamed pinenut!
– Repeat this layer action until the dish is completely full with the "cheese" layer being last.
– Decorate with cherry tomatoes and pine nuts if you have any left!
– And there you have it! You're very own raw and vegan lasagne.
This dish is super filling but extremely healthy for you so don't be worried about having a big slice! I enjoy mine with a side salad but I've known people to want new potatoes with it.
And and the beauty of making this dish is that if you have any left overs of any of the filling or "cheese", they are perfect with raw flaxseed crackers or to be enjoyed as part of another home-made salad.
God I'm good.
Enjoy and send me in your own creations of this recipe.
Check it out on the YouTube channel also: a more visual guide on how to make this dreamy dish.
Think More. Think Raw
Much love

If you liked "Better Living Through Chemistry" then brace yourself -
"You've Come A Long Way, Baby" is even better. Really, hard as it may
seem, Norman "Fatboy Slim" Cook has bettered himself. And what a
beautifully listenable record he's made in the process. With "Better
Living ..." Cook defined Big Beat as a creditable dance genre and
smashed open the doors for 101 unworthy pretenders. Here he remains
inimitable by stretching the boundaries of popular taste that little
bit further.
Obviously he still sounds like his old self but yet again he displays
his pristine ability to do something new. The ease with which he
livens a tacky old riff and adds his own crazy spin and an addictive
beat is prodigious. The result: a decidedly Big Beat reworking of the
best pop music of yore ... but more.
Fatboy Slim makes everything his own and, like a true perfectionist,
makes every sound, every beat and every bleep count. There are no
turgid gaps between the stand-out tracks on this album and not one
second when Cook seems anything less than a genius. The dance world is
his oyster.

Factors to Consider in Choosing Trail Cameras.
Many people refer to trail cameras as game cameras and they are common among hunters who use them to check the animals which are found in the hunting locality and the areas they go to when they visit the places. It is not a fun activity to wait under a tree for the game to come and in some cases, they never show up. With trail cameras, you will just have to place them strategically and come to check the collected images later. In case the images which have been captured are not what you were looking for, you may move the camera elsewhere. If you check the market, you will come across a lot of trail cameras and this is why you need to be sure of the kind of the item you require. List down your needs and use the objectives to decide what is best for you.
Among the important features of a trail camera is the flash. This is a critical issue when you are taking the pictures at night. The major choices you have in this issue is an infrared flash and an incandescent one. For hunters who want to take pictures at night, trail cameras with an infrared flash are the best because they will not scare away the animals are low and they will not be easily detected by people who may have bad intentions. The cameras can take pictures without producing a bright flash. What you should know is that the images will be in black and white. The better part is that you will still get clear photos of the game and the size will be just fine. You will be better served by an incandescent camera if you are interested in colored photos but the drawback is that the flash scares away the game due to its bright nature. Another thing you should consider when buying the camera is the detection zone. You will get to know the distance specification as well as the width.
The resolution of the camera is a factor you should take into account. This determines the pixels the captured image will have. A camera with a high resolution will give you images that are not only clear but also crisp. High-end trail cameras have 8-10MP. Most of the game cameras require D, C or AA batteries in operation. In your shopping, you come across cameras which requires 12-volt or 6-volt batteries. It is advisable to invest in a camera with long battery life even though the buying cost is usually on the higher side. You will not pay a lot of money for trail cameras which have a short battery life but you will spend more money and time changing them.

SOURCE: No Labels
January 14, 2014 10:50 ET
WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwired - January 14, 2014) - In case you missed it, The Wall Street Journal's Gerald Seib wrote about No Labels' new e-book, "No Labels: A Shared Vision for a Stronger America" in his weekly Capitol Journal column. No Labels is calling for a new governing process that would create a national strategic agenda for the country. It starts with our leaders agreeing to goals first before the policymaking starts. Mexico successfully just did that and developed an entire agenda all parties could support. At the State of the Union No Labels will have more than 60 lawmakers wearing pins to signify support for this new way to start solving problems.
To purchase the book on Amazon, click here.
Below is an excerpt from Mr. Seib's column, highlighting No Labels' work, the new e-book, and the organization's State of the Union plans:
"No Labels is a movement, now three years old, of Democrats, Republicans and independents, from inside Congress and out, dedicated to the simple proposition that partisans in Washington ought to start talking to one another again across the divides -- and that voters ought to start demanding such behavior.
"It's led by two former governors -- Joe Manchin of West Virginia, now a Democratic Senator, and Jon Huntsman of Utah, most recently a Republican presidential candidate -- and almost 90 members of Congress who have signed up to join a No Labels 'Problem Solvers Caucus.' Dozens of them will be wearing No Labels lapel pins at President Barack Obama's State of the Union address on Jan. 28.
"Now the group is launching what it calls a three-year plan to turn those sentiments into action, starting with Tuesday's publication of 'No Labels: A Shared Vision for America.' Like the movement itself, the book has a simple aspiration. It spells out four big goals for political leaders to embrace, and then wraps those goals within case studies written by the likes of former Secretary of State James Baker and nine sitting members of Congress showing that, yes, it's actually possible for partisans to work together.
"Thus, the No Labels three-year plan, which is to unfold between now and the 2016 presidential election. The next stage is for business groups, grass-roots groups and state and local government leaders to meet in July to embrace the goals.
"Only then will the No Labels congressional group come up, in 2015, with legislative proposals to accomplish the big goals. The hope is that those bipartisan plans can help drive the debate in the 2016 presidential election year, a year that also will give voters the opportunity to take out their frustration on obstructionist politicians who stand in the way."

Tips on How to Tile a Bathroom Floor Correctly
When you ask people how many of them are able to correctly tile a bathroom very few will answer that question with confidence. The few that claim to know how to tile a bathroom floor they probably have not done it correctly and a professional might have to be hired to finish off the job. It becomes costly when you hire a professional to do a job that you can do flawlessly. However, you still have a chance to redeem yourself and prove that anything a professional can do, you can do it better. The following are steps to guide you on How To Tile a bathroom floor.
First of all before you layout any tiles on the floor, it is advisable that you have a rough estimate of how many tiles will be required to cover the floor. Measure the floor area and divide by the size of the tile you want to fix. This will give you the actual number of tiles required to cover the bathroom floor however, it is advisable that you purchase more tiles than the estimated figure. The extra tiles will act as backup for any tiles that may break when they are being fixed on the floor.
Once you have estimated the number of tiles needed, the next step involves cleaning the floor. Any dust particles or any other foreign objects that are on the floor may prevent the tiles binding with the floor. When cleaning, it is also important that you ensure the floor is flat as possible. An uneven surface is not ideal for tiles. Since the tiles will be placed on the bathroom floor where exposure to moisture is at maximum it is vital that you choose a waterproof adhesive. These are just a few tips on tiling it also requires proper planning and having the right tools.

This time, ECOGIG tried their hand at creating a one of their own during their 2018 Ocean Discovery Camp. They even had enough to make a couple of friends (a crab and tube worm) for the monster they named Theresa. This is another reminder to be conscious of our overuse of plastics. Many plastics and even tiny, microscopic pieces of plastic have already found their way to our oceans and serve to add to the growing pollution problem.

The prime purpose of sport massage is to promote healing, restore function and achieve optimal performance for the client. Sports massage can benefit anyone who has soft tissue tension due to over-activity, injury, emotional stress, poor posture, muscle imbalance or general decondition.
Sports massage tends to be intense and deep. It is based on elements of Swedish massage and techniques include effleurage, petrissage, tapotement, vibration, compression, friction, trigger point release and muscle energy techniques. Skillfully applied massage can assist with pain via blocking pain signals sent from the body to the brain.
You should notice a reduction in symptoms after just one session but your symptoms will be monitored in subsequent treatments.

Many years ago as I was reading and studying the Writings of Baha'u'llah, I came across a beautiful passage which I then memorized. At this time I cannot find an authorized version of its translation into English, so I will just share the jist of what I have memorized. In this passage Baha'u'llah essentially indicates that two things have always been acceptable in the sight of God: tears that are shed for fear of God, and drops of one's blood that are shed in the path of God. He then goes on to say that since this second matter has been forbidden, a third has taken its place, and that is devoting ones life in the path of recognition of God, to get to know Him and to make Him known. If any of the readers of this blog are familiar with this passage, or can locate it in authorized translations, I would appreciate hearing from them.
Now I learn two things from the above passage. The first is that the reference to tears and blood may symbolize being and doing. When we transform our inner being and bring it to conform with the will of God we achieve a state of being that represents expanded consciousness, and a sense of purity. This is the "being" part. And when we arise to serve humanity, to help transform the society, and we are so steadfast that we can withstand any external pressure to the point of giving our lives for it, then this is the ultimate in "doing".
The second thing that I learn from the above passage is that the requirement of service to humanity can change from time to time, and perhaps even from region to region, depending on the requirement of the historical moment. Early in the time of the Bab service would lead to great difficulties and even accepting martyrdom. Later in the latter part of the ministry of Baha'u'llah there was a greater acceptance of the Faith and this requirement was transformed to the requirement of devoting of one's life to the recognition of God. In a similar way the teaching work was initially on the home front, and later the greatest service was to arise for pioneering in far off lands. Now that the Faith is so well established throughout the planet, the new requirement is of building of spiritual communities in our own neighborhoods and clusters.
Paragraph 31 of the letter of 28 December 2010 of the Universal House of Justice is the start of a new section in this message, and it addresses the question of spiritual prerequisites for the success of all Bahá'í undertakings. Study of this paragraph reminds me of that statement that I referred to above, and it occurs to me to be about "being". Unless we as individuals make an effort to continually advance in acquiring these spiritual qualities we cannot effectively contribute to the transformation of the society. These are the twofold moral purposes and they are intimately linked to one another.
In study of this paragraph the following questions are suggested:
- What are the three duties of the Counsellors and their Auxiliaries?
- When did the Guardian write the Advent of Divine Justice?
- What was the occasion that prompted the Guardian to write this letter?
- How is this letter characterized by the House of Justice?
- What are the three spiritual prerequisites of all Bahá'í undertakings?
- What are the implications of the observations in this Book for the global effort of the Bahá'í community today?
Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Bahá'í Faith, wrote that "The glowing tributes, so repeatedly and deservedly paid to the capacity, the spirit, the conduct, and the high rank, of the American believers, both individually and as an organic community, must, under no circumstances, be confounded with the characteristics and nature of the people from which God has raised them up. A sharp distinction between that community and that people must be made, and resolutely and fearlessly upheld, if we wish to give due recognition to the transmuting power of the Faith of Bahá'u'lláh, in its impact on the lives and standards of those who have chosen to enlist under His banner. Otherwise, the supreme and distinguishing function of His Revelation, which is none other than the calling into being of a new race of men, will remain wholly unrecognized and completely obscured."

Truffles have always been one of the most delicious and expensive products present at any official table. They are tasty, luxurious and their presence is nowadays a symbol of classy and refined kitchens.
In case you are wondering why they are so expensive, you need to know that truffles actually come from special places in France and Italy. Both countries are famous exporters of this delicious food.
One of the most expensive sorts of truffles is the black one and despite there are truffles in U.S., the black truffles are only considered to be of guaranteed quality if they come from Italy or France.
The professional cooks often praise them as the food of the elite, just like they do with the black caviar.
Truffle oil is another culinary pleasure allowed only for those, who really like refined dining.
Still, you have to make sure what exactly are you buying and watch out for the certificates that clearly show the source of the truffle oil or the source of the truffles.
The white truffles are most common at the market but even they can reach the price of $100.

Many exporters start by identifying and targeting a small number of key markets. Look for nearby markets with low entry barriers.
Trade exhibitions are a good place to meet potential representatives of an area, and discuss a market's merits with other exporters. Our International Trade Portal can help you identify trade shows in your sector. In addition, market visits are an excellent way to personally experience the local cultural environment and help you understand how to conduct business in a particular area.
There are four main ways that you can get into a market:
This is usually most suitable where:
Using a retail or distribution specialist in your product or service area has a number of advantages, not least that they take on a good deal of the overseas legwork. Taking this approach, it's important to draw up pre-agreed contracts, which clearly define the division of responsibilities and the channels of communication between you. The success of a distributor is often directly correlated to their commitment to their particular product. Be aware of your agent or distributor's other commitments and spend a good deal of time making sure they understand and appreciate the specific benefits of your product or service.
This requires a significant commitment to one country or area, and is often necessary when sales are very high in that location.
Licence Agreements - in this situation, a local business produces and sells your product under licence, and on your behalf. It's often used when there appears to be no other way of making profitable returns from an area. For instance, many developing countries insist on the highest possible level of local manufacture as this represents the best long-term commitment to the region.
Research - research needn't be expensive, or all originated by you. Plenty of data is available publicly. Governments and international trade bodies, for example, publish reports that could answer many of your questions. A word of caution though - check the report's date. Find out how many people were interviewed for the research and who they are. Also, try to establish the original purpose of the research. This may be free information, but it needs to be relevant, recent, accurate and objective to be of use to you.
When you find that you need to conduct some research of your own, be very clear about what information you want from it. Try to achieve too much and the costs will soon mount up.
Among other things, your research must:
Our International Trade Portal is a handy tool that can support you in your research and is available to our customers. If you're not already a customer you can trial the portal for 30 days.
Planning - successful planning will help to ensure that adequate resources are always available to your business at the right time, to develop your export markets. Your business plan will be critical for gaining any additional funding required for export-led growth. Your export plan should be constantly reassessed and refined, so that your business is always ready to respond to, and take advantage of, new opportunities.
A key risk for you, as an exporter, is that a customer will fail to pay promptly (or at all). It is vital you protect yourself against this.
Here are some of the measures you can take:
The profitability of your export orders can be affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
There are a number of ways you can protect yourself against this:
The British Chambers of Commerce can advise you as to where to get help with managing your exporting finances. For more information on how Lloyds Bank can support with foreign exchange and your interest rate risk visit our International Pages.
CHANGES IN THE EXCHANGE RATE MAY INCREASE THE STERLING EQUIVALENT OF YOUR DEBT. All enquiries for foreign currency accounts will be referred to a specialist manager who will provide more information about charges for these services upon request.
Mastering international trade procedures will be key to maintaining a successful export operation. You may need to invest in both specialist training and computer software, to aid your management of international trading (and payment) processes. Exactly what you are exporting and where it is going will determine the kind of procedures you need to have in place, but these will normally include:
Chambers of Commerce offer advice and training courses on paperwork for the movement of goods. Certificates of origin are often required to meet customs and quota requirements in the importing country. The Chambers of Commerce are the designated authority for the issue of EU certificates of origin. The service is open to all businesses in the UK, at a reasonable cost, and there are beneficial rates for Chamber members.
Organising the physical movement of your goods will play a key role in your export operations. First-time exporters can discuss their plans with their local Chambers, to ensure the mode of transport and packing is best suited to your product, and to check that you haven't missed anything. A forwarding agent can also give you help with the packing and shipping of your goods. Finally, although there is no legal obligation to do so, it is generally advisable to get your goods insured. Marine insurance is the general term used to describe cover against damage to goods and loss while in transit. Policies will also cover road, rail and air freight.
Our International Trade Portal can help you manage your shipment, understand trade customs and calculate the cost of exporting. It's free for customers who sign-up and available for a 90 day trial if you're not.
The export of certain types of goods and technology is administered by governments, primarily to control the transfer of arms. This includes many items designed for civil use but termed 'dual-use', because they could be used for military purposes. These include:

Welcome to the weekly book discussion. My hope is that it starts a conversation, as if we were sitting in a coffee shop discussing over lattes. As such, it's not intended to be a review or critique. So, please read, share, and join the discussion! This week is our sixth week reading Brené Brown's most recent book Rising Strong.
In this chapter – and the next few, if I remember correctly – Brené is going to talk about some specific things we need to rumble with. The title of chapter six is "Sewer Rats and Scoflaws: Rumbling with boundaries, integrity and generosity," so you have a pretty clear idea of where she's going. If I wrote about each of those things individually, this post would go over 1,000 words, and really, if you're going to read that much, your time would be better invested reading the actual book!
Instead, I want to ask you a question that she raises in this chapter that has had me thinking for about a month. Brené tells a long story about a conference she spoke at pro bono and, on top of that, she had to share a room with a woman who turned out to be a horrible roommate. Afterwards, she was working out her frustrations with her therapist, and her therapist asked her this question:
"Do you think it's possible that your roommate was doing the best she could that weekend?"
After Brené answered in the negative, she turned the question on Diana, the therapist. "Do you believe she was doing her best?"
"You know, I'm not sure. I do, however, think that in general people are doing the best they can."
Here's my truth: like Brené, I'm cynical that people are doing their best. Sometimes it feels, in fact, like people are barely trying and sometimes – especially in traffic, or long lines at the grocery store or at the DMV, and especially in the comments section on YouTube – people seem to be trying to do their worst.
So, I'm not going to write much more about this. I hoped this series would spark a conversation, so here it is: in your life, as you interact with people – spouse, children, friends, coworkers, neighbors, whomever – do you believe people are doing their best with the tools they have?"
(I do have another quotation that I want to share that expresses my answer to this question, after having reflected on it a couple weeks, but I'll share in the comments after a couple days!)If you liked this post, please share it!

This study aimed to characterize the long-term outcomes of patients with uveitis following successful disease suppression with mycophenalate mofetil (MM), a form of steroid-sparing immunomodulatory therapy (IMT). Experience suggests that once patients' inflammation can be successfully controlled with IMT, there may be long-term benefit to disease control even following discontinuation of the medication.
A retrospective chart review was conducted to identify patients treated by a single ocular immunologist at a tertiary referral center who were started on mycophenolate mofetil (MM) for uveitis. Inclusion criteria were successful disease suppression with MM, discontinuation of the medication and at least three years of subsequent follow-up. 36 patients met these criteria. Additional factors examined included duration of MM use, concurrent use of other IMT, age and gender.
28/36 (78%) consecutive patients meeting the inclusion criteria achieved successful disease remission following treatment with mycophenolate mofetil (MM). These patients were treated for a variety of anterior, intermediate as well as posterior uveitic diseases. 72% of patients who attained remission were female and their average age at beginning of MM treatment was 43 years old (range 30 to 61). 75% of patients experiencing relapse of disease were female and their average age was 31 years old (range 17 to 38). Average duration of MM treatment in patients who attained remission was 29 months (range 16 to 40) and 32 months (24 to 40) for those who developed recurrent disease. The average time to relapse was 25 months (range 20 to 28). 14% of patients who achieved remission, versus 38% of those who did not, required concurrent treatment with other IMT during the time of administration of MM.
78% of patients treated with mycophenolate mofetil (MM) achieved long-term remission after control and discontinuation of the medication. The need for concurrent IMT was greater in the group who relapsed within three years following treatment with MM. This is thought to be related to cases that were more difficult to control. Duration of treatment with MM, age and gender were not correlated with post-treatment relapse. These results will aid ophthalmologists when counseling patients with uveitis and choosing immunomodulatory therapy.

In this Parashat Eikev, we read Moshe's description of God: "God supreme and Lord supreme, the great, the mighty and the awesome God. (Deut. 10:17)" This, over the course of time, became the formula Jews recite in the first blessing of the prayer known as the Amidah. But a remarkable Talmudic passage (Yoma 69b) discusses each Divine Attribute listed:
"Rabbi Mattena taught [that when Ezra praised God] he said: "The great, the mighty, and the awesome God (Neh. 9: 32)." This seems to agree with what Rabbi Joshua ben Levi said: 'Why were the [ancient formulators of the siddur] called Members of the Great Assembly? Because they restored the crown of the Divine Attributes to its ancient state.'
[What does this mean?] Moses had come and said: "The great, the mighty, and the awesome God (Deut. 10:7)."
Then Jeremiah [who witnessed the first Destruction of Jerusalem] came and said: "Foreigners are destroying God's Temple. Where, then, are God's awful deeds? Hence, when he praised God (in Jer. 32:18), he omitted the attribute 'awesome'."
Then Daniel [who witnessed an exile of the Jewish people] came and said: "Foreigners are enslaving God's children. Where, then, are God's mighty deeds? Hence , when he praised God (in Dan. 9:4), he omitted the word 'mighty'."
But then the Members of the Great Assembly came and said: "On the contrary! Therein lie God's mighty deeds that God suppresses God's wrath and extends patience to the wicked. Therein lie God's awful powers! Were it not for the fear of God, how could one single nation [the Jewish People] persist among many nations!"
But how could the earlier Rabbis [Jeremiah and Daniel] abolish something established by Moses? Rabbi Eleazar said: Since they knew that the Holy Blessed One insists on truth, they would not ascribe falsity to God."
This text brings home a crucial theological point: a relationship with God must be based on a person's first-hand experiences. A lie -- even a ritual phrase -- can be a barrier between God and people.
But what is the deepest power of this text? Moses formulates the traditional phrase "God supreme and Lord supreme, the great, the mighty and the awesome God. (Deut. 10:17)." Jeremiah and Daniel (called rabbis!) remove one Attribute each from Moses' description, based on their personal spiritual experiences of pain and exile in the world.
But then the Members of the Great Assembly, inheritors of this tense textual journey, decide to reinterpret the original text, finding God's Presence even in the face of evil and chaos. They restore the crown of the Divine Attributes to its ancient state by committing themselves to finding a place for God in this world.
We have the ability to renew hope and faith -- within and without. When we only interact with media and the virtual world we don't even see the world as it is. But when we allow ourselves to encounter real moments in the world around us, looking up, elevating ourselves through truly engaging, we might begin to envision the world that could be.
That will be.
That must be.
A sweet opportunity to reflect in these ways might include spending some time reading Psalms. May we one day share them with sparkling eyes and voices lifted in song: "I lift up my eyes to the mountains. Where does my help come from? My help comes from God, who Makes Heaven and Earth. (Ps. 121:1,2)"

On September 24, 2014, the Krasnodar court will hear Vitishko's case,
activists from Russia and abroad ask for immoderate release of environmental defender,
who was sentenced to three years in a penal colony for "damaging the fence"
belonging to governor of Krasnodar krai
By Environmental Watch on North Caucasus
The week of civil actions in support of Evgeny Vitishko started on September 17. The first civil action was performed by Sofia Rusova, a member of EWNC and a member of the "Yabloko" party, in front of Office of the Prosecutor General of Russia.
The week of civil actions is connected to court hearings, which will take place on September 24, 2014 in Krasnodar court. The court will decide whether a real prisonment should be cancelled.
These court hearings are central in the Vitishko's case after the court's denial in February to hear the appeal on the decision which changed conditional sentence to real imprisonment. After that denial, Vitishko was sent to a penal colony.
There is a chance that Evgeny will be free on Wednesday. However, authorities of Krasnodar krai have power over the court and are putting obstacles in a way of freeing Vitishko. If this time the appeal by Prosecutor to cancel real imprisonment will not be upheld by the court, there is no other effective legal remedy to free Vitishko.
Civil actions in Russia and abroad are meant to draw attention to the case of Evgeny Viishko, environmental defender sentenced to colony in a kangaroo trial for protecting the environment.
Environmental Watch on North Caucasus is calling upon everyone, who cares about Vitishko and other Russian activists, to take part in a week of civil actions to show support to Vitishko. Please notify us about your civil actions via email email@example.com or call us at +7 (928)2924453

I hope everyone had a great New Years Eve – I did. It was filled with way too many bad food that tasted wayy too good but I did get to ring it in with a few of my favorite people so that's always a plus. It's funny because I made a list on the 1st of goals for the year & didn't even realized I called them goals. Later on IG I saw a post where someone had the definition for goals & resolutions & I realized what I'd done – but I like the thought of goals better & somehow they don't seem so dreadful even if it's all in my head.
I'll go ahead & share them since that helps keep me accountable:
-Eat healthier
-Pay down debt
-Cleaner house
-More organized
Yes there's only goals 4 & I may add more to it later but for now I'm happy with them. I know the pay down debt goal will happen thanks to my debt consolidation program because I already see a great progress with it & I'm so happy I took that step. I just hope finances/budgeting works so I can pay it off sooner since 2017 seems SO far away. Speaking of budgeting I finally did it. I won't start it until my first paycheck in January which will be next Friday but I made up my own Excel type format in Gmail of a budget so here's to hoping I can stick to it & figure it out to make it work for me. I also found a printout that helped something click in my mind. I'll find it & link to it but it was basically a daily expense tracker but there were 2 columns I'd never seen on one before & they were "want" & "need" columns. Wow! Talk about a wake up call. For awhile now I'd written down each purchase I make daily to balance my account but I'd never thought to really look at them & classify them as a want or a need. I think that will really help me to not make some purchases since I want to get out of debt more than I "want" that splurge I don't really need. Oh Dave Ramsey, we're going to have a love/hate relationship for awhile but I'm sure I will thank you later.
Speaking of splurges I did make one last splurge of 2013 on T25 – the workout program. I love TurboFire but sometimes I just can't finish the videos because I feel like it takes up a lot of time. As if I'm so important & have somewhere else to be? Yeah right lol I think I saw a picture that said 25 minutes is 2% of your day so what's your excuse? I hope that's right anyway – I'm terrible at math! Anyways I thought 25 minutes isn't bad at all & as long as it's fun it can usually keep my interest – I loved Zumba, I just can't afford the classes right now. So here's to hoping T25 is as fun as the previews look & can keep my interest. I'm sure it'll be hard at first since I'm so out've shape but if it's fun I usually get pumped up on endorphins after a few minutes of sweating so let's hope Sean T is the man to help make it happen. I'm going to try to eat healthier too. I know it will be gradual & take time & Lord help me because I'm terrible at having patience but I follow a lot of healthy IG's & I'm hoping to stay inspired from them. This is something I really want & I love reaching goals plus like I've said before – who doesn't want to look good naked? If you say you don't, I'm sorry but you're a liar. That's another thing – I saw on an IG of Kelly's (which I'll link to it later) where she had some things listed that might make you want to get healthier/workout & one of them was something about being confident with the lights on. Amen, preach it girl! I think that's what pushed me to order the T25 because that spoke straight to my heart because I've had an issue with that for the past several months & while I've gotten better at having some light on (men are very visual after all) I think I'd still be perfectly happy with it being entirely dark which is what I was used to before but what's the fun in that?
So here's to hoping for a healthier & even happier 2014, let's do this!

3Rs - Alternatives to Animal Use
The NSW Animal Research legislation encapsulates the principles of alternatives to the use of animals for research and teaching purposes including
- The replacement of animals with other methods
- The reduction in the number of animals used
- The refinement of techniques used to reduce the impact on animals.
Researchers and teachers must consider these principles during the design and conduct of their projects.
The below links provide information for alternatives to the use of animals in research projects.
- National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research (UK) (NC3Rs) - Provides a focus for the promotion, development and implementation of the 3Rs in animal research and testing.
- Recognising pain, suffering and distress in laboratory animals (PDF 1.27 MB)
- Unexpected adverse events during the conduct of a project
The University of Newcastle ACEC regards the use of tissue from freshly euthanased animals by a researcher to be a reasonable mechanism for reducing the number of animals required for research and teaching purposes and, as such, this practice is highly encouraged by the ACEC.
Prior animal ethics approval is not required for this practice provided that:
- The animal is killed as part of another legitimate authorised process (e.g. part of another currently approved protocol, in the abattoir, cull animals as part of normal animal husbandry procedures) AND
- The animal is not bred specifically for the second researcher AND
- The animal is killed ONLY by a person authorised to do so (e.g. under a current Animal Research Authority, because of the nature of their employment etc) AND
- The researcher has no input into the treatment or handling of the animal prior to its euthanasia or death AND
- The researcher has no input into the manner of euthanasia of the animal, or the timing of its euthanasia AND
- The tissue is collected AFTER death of the animal is confirmed. The researcher may be present when the animal is killed and may remove tissues from the animal OR the animal tissue is removed by the person authorised to euthanase the animal and passed onto the researcher OR the whole animal carcass may be passed onto the researcher.

There arc many Ayats (verses) which point out to the Caliphate of Ali bin Abi Taleb(as). It is not possible to enumerate all of them. But I would like you to see the event of 'Mubahila'. There you will find that Ali bin Abi Taleb(as) has been referred to in the Ayat of Mubahila as "the Self" of The Holy Prophct (saww).
It also follows that just as it is unlawful for every body to seelu to be superior to The Prophet similarly it is unlawful to supersede Ali - he being The Prophet's self according to the word of God, and any one who presumed to supersede hirn was certainly daring enough to supersede The Prophet!
