Indiana Department of Natural Resources Slashes Public Comment Opportunities on a New Plan for Unprecedented Logging of State Forests
(INDIANAPOLIS, IN)- The Division of Forestry (DOF) within the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has released a proposed new Strategic Plan for our state forests, ?IDNR DIVISION OF FORESTRY STRATEGIC DIRECTION 2015-2019? that will continue logging an average of 14 million board feet of trees every year from our state forests, at least 4 times more board feet per year than was logged from the state forests prior to 2005. In addition, this Plan:
- calls for more clearcutting
- proposes possible selling of state forest tracts deemed, ?non-essential?
- instead of designating any areas off limits to logging for hiking, back packing and backcountry camping, proposes more developed recreation facilities with new buildings, roads, cabins and shooting ranges
- proposes gate passes and user fees across the state forests to pay for this recreational infrastructure
The DOF is holding just the three following public meetings to gather input on this new Plan:
*Monday, September 21, 6:30 to 8:30 pm at the Indiana State Museum, 3rd floor Museum Conference?Room, 650 W. Washington Street, Indianapolis;
*Tuesday, September 22, 6:30 to 8:30 pm at the Honeywell Center, Nixon Room, 275 W. Market Street,?Wabash;
*Wednesday, September 23, 6:30 to 8:30 pm at Cool Springs Education Center, 9412 E. SR 64, Velpen,?which is about 8 miles west of Huntingburg on State Road 64.
In contradiction with their own Procedures Manual, Appendix I-J-1 (http://www.in.gov/dnr/forestry/files/manual/fo-I-J-1.pdf), which directs the DOF to solicit public input far in advance of adopting a Strategic Plan, the DOF held no scoping meetings to develop this Plan, nor will there be any public comment period as has occurred for previous Strategic Plans.
?IFA and six other organizations have asked the DNR to hold a 60-day public comment period on this Plan and more meetings in communities reeling from the adverse effects of this logging instead of making those folks drive hours through rush hour traffic and highway construction projects to be given a few minutes to present their concerns at these meetings,? states Jeff Stant, executive director of the Indiana Forest Alliance. ?There is no impending regulatory deadline to produce this Plan even though it has been two years since the previous Strategic Plan expired. After taking this long, if the DNR is genuinely interested in what Hoosiers have to say about the management of their state forests, it should adhere to its own guidelines to solicit public input on this Plan.?
To learn about the proposed 2015-2019 Strategic Plan, go to:?
*Editors? Note: Copies of the letter sent to DNR from IFA and six other organizations requesting a 60-day public comment period on this Plan will be emailed upon request.

Pico & Vine, Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, 2013
The Back Label: 2013 "Lush bing cherries, earthiness, vanilla with hints of orange blossom make for a delicious and special wine. On the palate, supple tannins combine with extended red cherry and French oak-infused caramel and spice. The flavors are ripe and elegant and carefully balanced with the acidity. The wine pairs well with grilled chicken, Fusilli pasta tossed with extra virgin olive oil, fresh tomato and herbs or a rustic wood oven-fired pizza with wild mushrooms and Taleggio cheese."
sipping sun Having Sipped: Just as in last week's wine post, we weren't provided with the year of this wine, so we've matched our speculations with the winemaker's notes from Pico & Vine's website. At the first sniff, berries fill your senses, the vanilla simmering at the top, and oak and caramel overwhelm at the first sip. The entire tasting experience, from the alluring aromas, the velvety texture, through to the finish was incredibly elegant and rich. Another pleasing wine from Pico & Vine. I enjoyed a glass of this pinot noir with a shared meal of double cut lamb chops with mint pistachio pesto, goat cheese ravioli, and sautéed seasonal vegetables.
Specs From the Label:
Acid: .56g/100ml
pH: 3.8
Alcohol: 13.5%
Price: $13
After your first sip, what are your thoughts on this pinot? Have you paired with wine with something in particular? Let me know in the comments below & thanks for sipping along!

In Bookline's year end campaign, trendsetter characters communicate the message: Let's read more! Zsófia Kemény,Sena Dagadu, László Szily and Róbert Winkler talk about their reading habits, why they love to read and what their favorite books are. The four young, successful creative writers introduce their favorite opus and they ask the same from the readers. Since there are hundreds of books on the bookstores shelves including many excellent ones it's often hard to choose. In order to make the decision easier, Bookline's campaign intended to activate readers to offer their fav books on Bookline's promotional site to give some hints to others as well. As part of the campaign, the consumers are rewarded for their contribution: they get the chance to win valuable prizes. In addition to the weekly prize – a Koobe ebook reader – each day a lucky participant wins a 50% discount voucher.
In the image campaign connected to the promotion, the characters tell about their favorite book experience and project the campaign's main message: how to steal some time from the weekdays' rush to read a few pages. Bookline says, we only need a book and ten minutes on the morning subway, during lunch on a bench, at night in the bathtub or before we fall asleep after a busy day.
The headline reads: "Tell me a good book and I'll tell you another!". For those who feel like sharing their favorites there is nothing left to do but to visit the promotional site and let everyone know, why a certain book touched them.
The campaign runs from the 1st of November till mid of December.
Tools: citylights, posters at bus stations countrywide, print advertisements, online banners, Spotify and radio spots, advertisements on the undergrounds and trams, and on Bookline's Youtube channel and websites.

Royal Mail chief executive Moya Greene said the firm was asking for the chance "to charge a fair price to other companies who use our network to carry mail and to end what is, in effect, the very substantial built-in subsidy which our rivals have enjoyed for years". The firm made a £157m operating loss last year on "access mail", collected by rivals but delivered by Royal Mail, amounting to an average loss of 2.5p per item.

Rewards Of Local Rental Rather Than Reselling
Men and women get too big for their homes daily. Frequently this happens mainly because they get children and simply don't have plenty of space any longer. In other cases, these people lose interest with the property and desire a change. There is no drastically wrong cause to want to move home. The initial step would be to decide whether or not to sell or let the actual property. Trying to sell has its benefits. The property owner gets prompt money and will not need to bother about the home anymore. As shown in this website, letting also provides positive aspects. People who let their house with other people can easily acquire cash on a monthly basis as long as somebody will be located in the property. While the property owner needs to pay money for such things as servicing and keep track of the property to make sure it remains in excellent condition, the good cash flow really should a lot more than compensate for these expenses. Property owners who don't have plenty of time to handle the house after they shift could possibly get help regarding their house rental coming from a letting agent. Most of these agencies support house owners locate perfect tenants and may even in addition deal with the home for them. With this solution, house owners can easily get pleasure from their new home in addition to accumulate the cash stream on the old home without the tension.

Although this new video release of Nyjah ripping the streets was well announced with pictures and teasers it turned out to be beyond expectations. This is a real masterpiece of skateboarding. I had to watch it more than once to understand that this was real. Nyjah Huston and Nike SB took a lot of efforts into this film production to give Nyjah's first Nike SB signature model, The Nyjah, an appropriate market launch. If these shoes are just half as good as the video Nike SB will make millions with them. Where can I get a pair? I want to go shred some rails out there!

Royal Australian Armoured Corps Museum- Part One
For the two weeks prior to Bedecon, I was off roaming about South Australia with my fiancee, doing my time in the shops, before dragging her to museums. One of the ones we were lucky enough to visit was the Royal Australian Armoured Corps Museum at Puckapunyal, which is about an hour north of Melbourne. Situated on an active army base, the museum was really, really fantasic, and the novelty of taking a campervan onto an army base was not lost on the mrs, so less brownie points were lost than anticipated! Like my homeland of NZ, Australia were a bit late to the whole "tank" thing. The ANZACs were not famous as tank crews, rather as being elite light infantry (and stealing everything that wasn't nailed down). In the Second World War it became necessary for the Australians to acquire tanks, both in the desert and in the pacific theatre. Post the war, the Australians developed their armoured force, equipping themselves with foreign built tanks, and maintain an armoured force to this day. But, on to the pictures... Inside the museum was a good collection of all of the Australian Army's service weapons from it's inception, particular highlights were an Owen SMG, Johnson LMG and even an M134 Minigun.

The few CD rate gems out there are going to be available to a limited number of people.
There's just no real solid option for everyone right now.
As we mentioned earlier this month in a post about a 2.58% APY deal in Indiana, searching tiny institutions in small communities can turn up certificate of deposit gold.
The same can be said for certain credit unions that limit membership based on where you work.
American Airlines Credit Union — not a small institution by any means — is one example. Membership is largely limited to people who work in the air transportation industry.
If you do, this credit union has some interesting CD laddering deals. The best of the bunch requires you to equally fund a 30-month CD and a 60-month CD.
With a minimum deposit of $10,000 in each certificate it pays:
- 1.81% APY on the 30-month CD.
- 3.09% APY on the 60-month CD.
That's right, 3.09% APY.
The 5-year CD pays more than 1.25 percentage points above the top deal on our CD Rates Leaderboard. The 30-month CD is four-tenths of a percentage point better than the top 3-year CD.
If a ladder isn't your thing, the standard terms also pay better than the top nationally available bank deals.
With a $10,000 minimum deposit, this credit union pays:
- 1.51% APY on 36-month CDs.
- 2.27% APY on 60-month CDs.
Membership requires a $1 membership fee and a $5 deposit into a savings account.
Members can buy CDs online, through the mail or at one of American Airlines Federal Credit Union's more than 40 branches. Many of those are located at or near major airports.
Learn more about American Airlines Federal Credit Union at www.aacreditunion.org or call 800-533-0035.
Compare these returns with the best CD rates from scores of banks in our extensive database.

Carmonta is remembered for being extremely loud and obnoxious. Notably, she claimed to be the sister of Carmonte, another Finale contestant, and praised herself for being less generic and boring than her sister.
Carmonta is chosen by Harrison during the schoolyard pick in Okay, Now Regretting My Decision.... When Lady Gaga is given a round of applause by Hoda Kotb, Carmonta yells at her, telling Lady Gaga that she is irrelevant in comparison to her sister Carmonte. Carmonta then informs everyone loudly that Carmonte was called the "most irrelevant competitor ever" in her exit interviews. By the end of the team picking, Carmonta is on a team with Harrison, Sandara, and Quinn. At the elimination, Carmonta gets excited when she sees Kathie Lee and Hoda drinking wine, announcing that she loves wine, and telling them that she wants to get drunk. Drunk, Carmonta dazily talks to herself, saying she is "such a likable character" and not generic at all. When Kathie Lee is muted due to Lady Gaga's Grand Finale, Carmonta gets upset, and decides to do all of the "OTTANNOYING things" while Kathie Lee can't speak.
In Don't Play With Magic, Carmonta is silent until the end of the challenge, when she starts rambling. She asks the host how he is, and then goes straight to telling him that they're about to vote someone out. She says she is "OTT Bitchy" and "such a fan." Carmonta then asks the host continuously if she is his favorite fan, not getting an answer. At the elimination, Carmonta is the last person to get a dinner, due to recieving one vote from Quinn, who is eliminated.
During the team swap in I Thought This Was Finale??, Carmonta ends up on TEAM 1 with Katy Perry and Dusk. Carmonta seems happy with her team, confirming loudly that it is the best and no other team can compare. As usual, Carmonta is basically absent during the challenge, and returns after the elimination, shocked she is still in the game.
For the performance challenge in JUST REPLACE RUSSELL WITH HODA. CHEERS., Carmonta is paired with Sandara, her former team member. Carmonta and Sandara are the final team to perform, but Carmonta decides to sit and watch as Sandara does the performance completely alone, reinacting a scene between "Fahrwood" and Dra. The performance disturbs most of the remaining contestants, including Dusk, who covers his eyes, and Florence, who screams that her eyes are too innocent to see the scene. When the scene is over, Carmonta tells everyone she had nothing to do with it, causing Florence to take pity for her. Florence agrees to Reward Carmonta if she and Harrison win immunity. Carmonta rages at Sandara and questions why she had trusted her in the first place.
Fortunately for Carmonta, Harrison and Florence win immunity, so Florence Rewards Carmonta, giving her a Challenge Advantage. At the elimination, Carmonta, still upset about the challenge, announces that she is voting for Sandara, and that anyone amazing will vote with her. Carmonta is able to successfully get the votes to send Sandara home.
At the auction in I've Been Busy Eating My Immunity Cookies, Carmonta buys her second Challenge Advantage for sixty dollars. At the elimination, she only recieves one vote from YOLOnda.
In I'm The Surpreme Queen, Hoda decides to publically point out that she was the only person to vote for Carmonta in the previous vote, despite the fact that she had actually voted for Harrison. Not knowing this, however, Carmonta warns Hoda that she is next, using the wrong form of "your," saying that it was on purpose. When YOLOnda corrects the grammar, Carmonta tells her that her grammar as disappeared due to being so angry.
Oddly enough, Carmonta forgets this anger towards Hoda by the end of the challenge, and votes for Katy Perry at the elimination with Hoda. However, Hoda is still eliminated, recieving votes from the rest of the competitors. When Katy is confirmed safe, Carmonta vocally questions why Katy is still in the game. When Hoda is eliminated, Carmonta seems shocked at YOLOnda, calling her a bitch and telling her she is now in the minority. Freaking out, Carmonta asks if she is allowed to use her Challenge Advantage in the next challenge so that she can win.
For the challenge in You Have No Chance, Carmonta is given the advantage of having to score one-hundred points less than everyone else in a tower building game. Regardless of this advantage, Carmonta loses the challenge to Florence, who is still on an immunity streak. Carmonta tells the rest of the contestants to spare her, telling them she is a goat, and that it would be wise to take her to the end.
At the elimination, Carmonta votes for Katy Perry, but everyone else votes for her, eliminating her. Upon being eliminated, Carmonta warns YOLOnda and Katy that going with Florence was a bad choice. She tells them that they have no chance, as Florence has been on an immunity streak. Before going, Carmonta reminds everyone loudly that she is the "ONE OTTN QUEEN OF THE SEASON," and then leaves.
- Carmotna is the second contestant to be related to another contestant from the series. This contestant is her sister, Carmonte.

Division: Vet
The DePuy Synthes Vet Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA) System is part of a stainless steel plate and screw system that merges locking screw technology with conventional plating techniques. The technical innovation of locking screws provide the ability to create a fixed‐angle construct while following standard AO plating principles.
For the treatment of Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL) disease.
|Locking screws
|The threads on the head of the locking screws lock into the threaded plate holes to form a fixed‐angle construct that will increase the load transfer between the plate and bone.
When compared to conventional TTA constructs, the angular and axial stability of locking screws increases the strength of the construct and help prevent fracturing of the tibial tuberosity.
|Screw trajectory is designed to optimize screw purchase
|Screws designed to engage the strongest bone in the tibial tuberosity
|PEEK Wedge can be cut to length
|The PEEK material allows the wedge to be cut to the desired length with wire cutters. The wedge has graduated markings to show length.
Radiolucent PEEK material allows radiographic assessment of bone remodeling
|Compatible with Small and Mini Fragment Systems
|No special instrumentation is required
|MPL Spacer
|3mm and 5mm snap on spacers allow treatment for Medial Patellar Luxation (MPL)

I've been trying to step up my fitness levels. As a mum running around after 3 children with various drop offs, pick ups and then fitting into as many working from home hours as possible it feels like there hasn't really been any time to step up the fitness and firm up the mum tum I have left over from 3 pregnancies and 3 emergency cesarean sections. When you're 2 year old wobbles and shouts wobble wobble wobble at you, well it's funny but also it's time now to be thinking about myself as well as the kids.
Knowing this Myleene's PR team contacted me and asked if i would give My Body By Myleene a go. It wasn't sold to me a a diet/fitness dvd but as a simple routine a mum can fit into a busy lifestyle when she is ready to. You commit to a 12 week programme and the workouts range from 15 minutes to 30 with a plan to incorporate these workouts into 4 days a week (or more if you choose). I loved the idea of short fast workouts at the beginning of my day and committing to a schedule also felt easy to pop into my routine. The fact is we all know if it can't fit around family life then we won't do it or we will let it slip. Anything a mum does just for her has to slip easily into an already manic schedule.
So I did the first workout 3 weeks ago now. Guttingly I then has strep throat and was wiped out for over 2 weeks while sorting my health back out and ready to start again. So this week I am committing to starting week 1 again.
The first workout was a bit of a boxercise style, it almost felt like a dance routine doing this DVD (there are 3 sections in total and a sandbell in the box – isn't it fab when you aren't sold all the extras seperately!). I loved that it felt simple to do and gradually built up over the 30 minutes. The DVD felt down to Earth with the chat aimed at mamas rather than fitness enthusiasts. I loved this as so often fitness DVDS can feel a bit bland but you do feel like this is more on a level with the viewer.
I am really looking for ward to updating you with my stats and how I am feeling over the next 12 weeks! Wish me luck!
You can follow me on instastories for my thoughts as I go on MyBody ByMyleene!

Right or Almost Right is based on John Haremza's years of success in network marketing. It's Johns answer to the questions so many ask, such as "where's the money?",
"Why am I not seeing the success I expected?"
As John says, "I meet so many intelligent, hard-working dedicated network marketers who are struggling. They are not seeing the results they expected and they always ask why. John believes that the small subtleties of how the network marketing business is done make the big difference between making a little money versus making a lot of money, between success and struggling.This book was an immediate best-seller on Amazon.
John was on the cover of the April 2007 issue of Your Business At Home magazine. Inside, he talks about his belief in the network marketing industry. John is a very, very strong believer in network marketing's potential to change lives forever and reminds his teams that "network marketing changed my life beyond my wildest imagination."
This is John's first book and it tells his rags to riches story. Starting out with a learning disability (dyslexia) in high school, to his first and only job as a maintenance person with no self-esteem and no self-confidence, to life as a millionaire. I'm Going To The Top was written in 1996 and includes some great tips from John's early years in network marketing.
Small Steps To The Top is John's personal philosophy for success in network marketing. Every small step you take toward your goal has the potential to have a major impact on your life. As John says, "the small step I made to go to a friend's house for a business meeting changed my life forever."

Custom codes get more scans
Our research into the effectiveness of mobile advertising using 2D barcodes gives us a clear understanding of what works and what doesn't - from the user's perspective. After much testing, we know that people prefer to scan custom barcodes nearly 9 to 1 over traditional barcodes with no design attributes. The psychological components that go into the decision making process include:
- Level of attraction - increases when users have something to identify with such as color, shape and texture.
- Comfort level - increases when users can associate the code with a brand or product they know.
- Expectation level - increases with the appeal created by multi-faceted designs.

Fri Oct 21, 2011 2:56 pm
<! -- google_ad_section_start -->New Pc Batteries Hints: This document explains how we recommend make sure you fully condition your latest laptop battery, by running a really straightforward charging pattern. This may make sure a protracted run time from a battery and greater life. It really is really crucial to fully cycle and 'condition' you battery previously you use it. All new batteries end up being fully conditioned within early stages for at the very least , 8-20 cycles (cycle = one particular full charge, one full discharge) otherwise you will possibly not get the optimum runtime in hours through the battery.

It is really really widespread for clients to believe there is a fault with the battery when actually they have a absolutely great battery, which pretty much needs right conditioning. If you ever obtain your new laptop battery it will likely be fully discharged and unconditioned. Don't turn on your personal computer laptop or computer for the reason that battery won't work immediately. Your battery will usually take 8 - 10 charges and discharges to attain its full capacity. On the flip side, your battery won't reach full prospective until remember that it is conditioned a minimum about fifty times. Until in which case you might encounter lower general performance. One more prevalent scenario you would possibly encounter is the LED's and charge indicator upon your laptop won't give accurate facts through to the battery is fully conditioned - it usually is incredibly prevalent for customers to think that their battery can be faulty. Please don't pin the consequence on the battery! Just go along with the cycle directions here. In the course of the very most first charge, your laptop may clearly indicate that charging is without a doubt total soon after much very less time (of approximately 15 minutes). This could be to be expected and considered typical; if this develops, eliminate the battery within your laptop and repeat all the charging process. You will have to then use your laptop or pc as regular (with outside the mains power adaptor shagged in), until the power supply entirely runs down. Repeat the above process for more than eight times throughout the next couple involving days. Constantly make certain one permit your battery sufficient time to find a full overnight charge. What these terms imply Cycle - 1 full overnight charge and 1 full discharge not having the AC adaptor plowed in. Charge - Overnight cost with AC adaptor plugged around the mains. Discharge - Fully using your battery's power (operating the personal computer with the fully charged battery within the laptop plus the AC adaptor unplugged). Condition - It is a charge/discharge procedure you should total. This may boost both the runtime and the lifetime of your electric. Runtime - The period your battery will continue for. Approximately 577 million spouse and children primary batteries (non-rechargeable) ended up being sold within the ENGLISH in 1998. These are employed in a number of everyday appliances including torches, radios plus electric toys. Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) rechargeable batteries are usually frequent within the domestic, discovered in equipment as well as power tools, camcorders, notebooks and mobile phones (there's some other data sheet about mobile phone phones). A dry cell solar battery demands fifty times significantly more energy to create than it allocates. There have traditionally been problems with recycling technologies for broad purpose (non-rechargeable) batteries, as effective separation and collection of the loads of diverse kinds of wide variety is tough. The battery business around the UK has now eliminated mercury from them own items, despite that tiny numbers of batteries containing mercury continue to be imported from abroad. Consult with the manufacturer of your batteries to discover if they're operating some recycling or take-back layout.

Article Title: Learning Agile Employees Understand the Benefits of Change
Author: Linda Gravett, Ph.D., SHRM-SCP, CEQC
If you're a team leader at any level, you've probably observed that some of your team members aren't excited about constant change. Of course not. The only humans I've seen get excited about change are babies with wet diapers. Yet, in order for our organizations to be innovative and competitive, employees must thrive during times of change. in individuals across the organization.
Asking the right questions at the right time – and listening intently to the answers – is an excellent way to foster learning agility. I encourage you to set the expectation that your leaders will continuously ask what I call quality dialogue questions (QDQs), so that you build a culture that promotes healthy debate and inquiry. If the leader doesn't ask these questions, the employee can initiate his/her own QDQs, as well.
Here are some examples of those QDQs:
- I've always wondered why we….
- I don't think we spend enough time….
- I think we should focus on….
- Our success lies in….
- We are missing a business opportunity with….
- Everyone knows that ____________ but is afraid to say it.
- I'd like to see more______________ around here.
- Our customers would be happier if we…..
- I would like to be able to…..
- Our meetings would be more effective if…
- I've noticed that…
When employees surface concerns or problems by filling in the blanks in these questions, as a leader you allow creativity and new learning by allowing time to study problems deeply.
Another method for fostering learning agility is through what I call directed assignments. These are opportunities for employees to learn from doing and observing others within and outside your company. The directed assignments can be tied directly to your core competencies required for organizational success. This means that employees win and your organization wins.
As an example, I developed this set of directed assignments for a client company:
Competency: Objective Setting and Results Orientation to Achieve Strategic Plan
- Benchmark and Analyze Strategic Planning Methods of 3-5 Global Organizations; Present Results to Colleagues
- Facilitate the Strategic Planning Session of Another Division within The Organization
- Identify the Processes and Activities that Provide Competitors with a Competitive Advantage; Present Results to Colleagues
Competency: Communication Skills
- Develop a Communications Plan to Advise Employees of a Change in Product, Procedures or Processes
- Facilitate Employee Meetings to Solicit Process Improvement Ideas
- Develop and Deliver a Training Session on the Organization's Core Values
- Write a Column in the In-House Newsletter or an Industry Newsletter
- Develop and Deliver Industry Presentations
- Shadow Someone in the Customer Services and Public Relations Department for a Week
Reading List:
- Getting to Yes
- Influence Without Authority
- Using Your Emotional Intelligence to Develop Others
Competency: Leading Through Change
- Develop and Implement a Communication Plan to Advise of a Change in a Product, Procedures, or Processes
- Assess Incoming Customer Surveys to Ascertain Why People Buy from a) Our Organization and b) From Competitors - Decide What Changes the Company Must Make to Stay Ahead
- Facilitate Round Tables with Each Business Unit and Help
- Identify Their Competitive Differentiators to Build and Enhance
- Create a Symbol or Rallying Cry for Needed Change
- Manage an Ad Hoc Team in a Rapidly Expanding Unit
Reading List:
- Fast Company
- Wall Street Journal
- Harvard Business Review

New police recruits take up their South Holland beats
Three new faces are on the streets of South Holland as the latest additions to Lincolnshire Police.
Nikki Timms (43), of Market Deeping, Ken Stephenson (55), of Moulton Chapel, and Tim Nicholls (23), of Spalding, have all joined the county force's ranks to be PCSOs (Police Community Support Officers) in the area.
I've wanted to be involved in policing for most of my life so when the job came up, I thought it would be a good way of getting my feet through the door and make a difference in my community
All three have been mentored by more experienced PCSOs after nine weeks of training, including first aid, personal safety, criminal law, community awareness and the use of body-worn video cameras.
Tim said: "I've wanted to be involved in policing for most of my life so when the job came up, I thought it would be a good way of getting my feet through the door and make a difference in my community.
"In the future, I'd like to become a police officer but I want to have the experience of showing my face around the community first so people can trust me."
Nikki said: "I'd worked in a primary school previously for four years when I had quite a lot to do with the community.
"When I saw the PCSO jobs advertised, I liked the idea of working more in the community and there are very transferable skills from my work at the school into the job I have now.
"These include listening to people and finding out from them what they want."
Ken, an ex-PCSO with Thames Valley Police which serves Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, said: "In the past, I'd been a gas engineer, BT engineer, worked for the Prison Service and been a PCSO for four years in the Thames Valley area.
"When some friends moved up to Lincolnshire, I decided to do so as well because I liked the rural aspect of the county.
"I now want to bring the experiences of what I've done before to my new job."
Inspector Gareth Boxall, South Holland neighbourhood policing inspector, said: "It's really exciting and good to have three PCSOs from such wide backgrounds and who are all keen to serve our local community as well."

5 Major Health Benefits of Using Olive Cooking Oil
If there is one food-related fact that all agree upon regardless of whether it is a layman or an expert within the industry, it is regarding the immense number of benefits olive oil, particularly 100% virgin oil offers to the human anatomy.
You could be in your teenage years, shifting to your dorm rooms getting ready for a life of cooking for yourself day and night or you could be in your mid 40's cooking for your entire family, making the transition of cooking with Olive oil is always a better, healthier choice.
Within this post, I shall specifically discuss the 5 Health benefits of using Olive oil as cooking oil on a regular basis within your diet.
Shall we begin then!
Excellent For the Heart
MUFA or Mono-unsaturated fats are among the healthiest of natural fats found within food compounds, a kind of fat specifically packed within the Olive oil.
Mono-unsaturated fats are mostly well-known for their beneficial properties for reducing not only bad cholesterol present within the body such as LDL but also the over-all levels of cholesterol's within the anatomy; therefore, preventing the creation of blood clots.
A relatively regularized blood flow within the body as a result of decreased LDL levels can significantly drop the chances of suffering from heart-related conditions such as strokes.
Those suffering from heart conditions or coming from a family that has a medical history of heart problems must make the transition of replacing unhealthy cooking oils with Olive oil for enhanced wellbeing.
Filled with Antioxidants
Olive Oil is also prominently known for containing a vast range of antioxidants such as carotenoids, Vitamin E as well as Phenolic elements within to help prevent as well as protect the cells from damaging radicals within the anatomy.
Any radical consisting of an oddly numbered electron composition can attach itself to healthy cells leading to a damaging negative reaction which can not only damage the DNA of anatomy but also in severe cases damage blood vessels.
Reduction of Inflammation
Some studies have been conducted regarding the effects of anti-inflammatory compounds present within Olive oil in aiding with some health conditions, particularly rheumatoid arthritis.
According to blog.arthritis.org, Oleocanthal, a compound found within Olive oil was via research deduced to have a significant role within the reduction of not only acute inflammation taking place within the anatomy but also cases or chronic inflammation.
Does Not Cause Weight Gain
Unlike other oils, which can relatively be fattening for the anatomy, Olive Oil is not fattening for the body even when utilized on a regular basis in different kinds of foods. As mentioned above, the presence of unsaturated fats such as mono-unsaturated fats whom of which are in abundance in Olive Oil does not accelerate fat composition in the anatomy.
In a study carried out in the Mediterranean upon the effects of an Olive Oil favored diet for the anatomy over a period of three years resulted in some favorable changes within the anatomy of subjects.
Ideal for Blood Pressure Patients
Natural fatty compounds within Olive Oil such as EFA, otherwise known as Omega-3 aid considerably with not only lowering LDL levels of cholesterol but also decreasing blood pressure levels within the body; therefore, keeping the heart functioning in a relatively healthier state.
If you seem to be convinced by the beneficial properties of cooking with Olive Oil, I mentioned within the post then it is also best to know that Extra Virgin Olive Oil is what is most recommended to attain optimal benefits fully.
Although Extra Virgin Olive Oil may be a relatively costly choice; however, the advantages it provides to the anatomy are incomparable. To know more, you can always watch video relating to the sheer benefits of Olive Oil such as this:

Review: Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead
Australian Horror Zombie flick Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead, is aptly described as Mad Max meets Dawn of the Dead. Blood, guts and comedy the film is a good violent fun at its best. The indie film is directed by Kiah Roache-Turner and co-written with his brother Tristan Roache-Turner. A plague that causing zombies has swept the nation, leaving Barry, Benny and Frank fighting zombies in the middle of the Australian outback.
Barry (Jay Gallagher) and his wife Annie (Catherine Terracini) are woken by their daughter Meganne (Meganne West) when she hears someone downstairs. Barry and Annie fight off a zombie and the family run to the car to get out of their hometown. Meanwhile, Benny (Leon Burchill) and his brothers are out in the outback camping, when they see shooting stars light up the sky. Soon Barry and Benny are brought together to fight zombies in order to find Barry's sister, Brooke (Bianca Bradey).
Brooke has fallen into the hands of The Doc (Berynn Schwerdt) and his henchmen. The Doc experiments with zombies, having discovered that type A blood prevents the transformation. Brookes reaction to The Doc experiments goes wrong as she remains human even after multiple injections of Zombie blood.
The Zombies are most active at night as they use their energy. Frank soon discovered that all liquid forms of energy were turned into water, leaving the boys having to use zombies to fuel their car.
The film doesn't take itself seriously and is a different take on the zombie genre.

PICO RIVERA – City officials say they expect close collaboration with City Hall from appointees to the newly established Parks and Recreation Commission.
The commission was founded in September by a City Council decision along with a Sister City Commission, but council members appointed their commissioners last week. The council also creating guidelines for naming appointees.
"By having commissions, we can have assigned city staff to the commission," City Manager Chuck Fuentes said. "Staff will basically take the minutes, post the meeting notices, that kind of thing."
The Parks and Recreation Commission was disbanded more than a decade ago, but is being re-established to create better compliance with government procedure and professionalism in city business, Fuentes said.
Councilman Gregory Salcido said he did not see a reason to establish the commissions, nor did he see a need to regulate closely how they are selected.
"We don't need those commissions," Salcido said. "This is Mayberry, not downtown Los Angeles."
Salcido did not immediately select an appointee, saying he wanted more time to convince someone to join the commission. He will have 30 days or two City Council meetings to present someone to the council for approval.
The commission will replace the Arts and Culture Committee, which will disband, and will include projects for seniors and sporting leagues as well as arts-related activities.
Some members of the committee will continue their involvement by working on the commission.
Mayor Ron Beilke said he appointed former committee member Lorraine DeLaO to the commission because of her experience with arts and culture.
DeLaO, 61, works for county Department of Psychiatry and said she found a deeper appreciation of the arts through her work on the committee.
"I think learning about the sports and bringing in the arts and the music, it's going to go well," DeLaO said.
Councilman Bob Archuleta chose Vicky Galarza for the commission. A longtime member of the Montebello Police Department, Galarza has been active in volunteering through Boy Scouts.
"When I interviewed her, she impressed me with her knowledge of security, her knowledge of the kids and her knowledge with seniors," Archuleta.
Councilwoman Gracie Gallegos-Smith appointed Gil Guerena, 61, former president of the Pico Boys baseball league, in the hopes that he will help level the playing field for youths in the city, literally.
"We need to leverage all of the leagues and make sure they all have appropriate space," Gallegos-Smith said.
Guerena said he has coached baseball and football through the Pico Boys and Pico Dons.
Peter Ramirez, appointed by David Armenta, also has history with Pico Dons football, as a coach and helper for 30 years. Ramirez, 59, is a retiree from a career building cars for General Motors.
Ramirez, who lives across the street from Rivera Park and has coached baseball there for 30 years, said he hopes to help with his intimate knowledge of the parks in the city.
"Whatever I can do to help the park get better, I'll do my best," Ramirez said. "I'll tell them what I think they need because I walk the park every day."
The new commissioners said that while they are political appointees, they expect to work together without difficulty.
"I think this commission has got to be focused and have some kind of unification," DeLaO said. "We're all leaders in the community with different focuses, but now we're going to have to come together as one."

Christmas will be put on hold for many this year as cash-strapped consumers wait to buy gifts in the January sales, says new research from uSwitch.com
In a bid to cut the cost of the festive season, 26% of Brits are considering giving loved ones an IOU this year. Almost four in ten are resorting to IOUs because they cannot afford presents this year and one in ten are doing so because they can't afford presents unless they're in the sale.
However, it's not all about juggling the family finances, almost a fifth of those giving an IOU are doing so because they think they'll be able to afford a bigger and better gift in the sales.

In 2012, Forbes magazine published "Why Everybody Hates IT People". Perhaps it rings familiar. Beyond the black rimmed glasses and pocket protector visual stereotype, we are often seen as difficult, expensive, arrogant, and tend to speak our own language. IT (along with Human Resources) often comes up as one of the top 2 departments that people don't want to deal with in Work Surveys.
We get it. Finding a good IT vendor ranks right up there with finding a good doctor (or a good mechanic)!
We approach things a little differently:
We sort through the Needs vs. the Wants
We take the time to understand what makes your company, your environment, your STAFF – unique!
"If you're at the cutting edge, then you're going to bleed"
— Nancy Andreasen
As the quote above alludes to, remaining on the cutting edge of technology isn't necessarily what it's cracked up to be: It's very expensive. It's time and resource consuming. It's often painful as you may end up being first to experience a particular issue (which isn't fun if you're in the middle of an outage!!).
We are versed in the latest software/hardware and virtualization methods, and if you need to upgrade due to compatibility or end-of-support issues – we're certainly going to recommend it. But we will never recommend a project or an upgrade if it just isn't necessary.
We look at all the different approaches to satisfying your goals, the pros, the cons and – of course – the associated costs. And then we work with you to customize a solution….for YOUR situation.
Plus…..We're NOT in a hurry to spend your time and money.
Bottom Line: We aren't 'IT People' – we are PEOPLE who work in IT

Question: Why I Gotta be Naked to Make It?
August 24, 2009
This past week I had an in depth conversation with a friend about being naked. It wasn't about us being naked or people we know personally being naked, or even nudity in general…it was about the celebrity nakedness epidemic that seems to be plaguing Hollywood as of late. Once upon a time, creating a hit record, making amazing films, even winning a Superbowl or something constituted and solidified your fame. Now in order keep your celebrity or even to just become a celeb one must take drastic measures, including "leaking" nude photos or starring in a homemade porn film with your boyfriend.
By now we've seen, or at the very least heard, about Cassie's spread eagle photo shoot and Rihanna's tittie flicks dedicated to her very own Ike Turner, but in my mind the real phenomenon and break out star is Kim Kardashian.When I started writing this, it took me a second to actually put it all together. I've got to admit, although I have absolutely NO IDEA why she's as famous as she is, I know her first step to celebrity started with her sex tape with Ray J. Before that she was a stylist to his sister Brandy, a job that doesn't garner much attention camera wise (unless your Rachel Zoe) and is often overlooked and ignored. Seemingly overnight Kim Kardashian's face was everywhere; in tabloids, on television, in music videos, on the covers of magazines, befriending legit celebrities, beside Reggie Bush…EVERYWHERE. She is the poster child of Public Relations, how to take a "oops" situation and turn it into an empire. And to think, it all started with a scandal…and some tits. I guess it really ain't trickin' if you got it. Or is it?

Ladies, we're making a come up! Hillary Clinton, Condelezza Rice, and Nancy Pelosi were only the tip of the iceberg called CHANGE that we've been seeing make it's move in Washington. Now we can add two successful, educated, and powerful women to our roster of women to look up to; Sonia Sotomayor and Regina Benjamin. These two talented women have taken Washington by storm with President Obama's recent nominations of Sotomayor for the Supreme Court and Benjamin to be Surgeon General. If both of them are confirmed by the Senate Judge Sotomayor will be the first Hispanic woman to hold a Supreme Court position while Benjamin will be the United States third African American Surgeon General, and also it's third female holding the position. Not bad at all!
Sonia Sotomayor is a federal judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. A native of the Bronx New York, she is of Puerto Rican decent, and graduated from Princeton University in 1976 on a full scholarship and then from Yale Law School in 1979 where she was an editor of the Yale Law Review and also the recipient of a Juris Doctorate.
After reading up and watching Judge Sotomayor over the past couple of weeks, it hasn't been her amazing record of fairness that has quite inspired me as much as her activism for the Latino culture. As a student at Princeton she observed that there were no full time Latino professors and no Latin American curriculum, and decided to take it upon herself to approach the President of the university to discuss this flaw in Princeton's educational foundation. After seeing no change Judge Sotomayor promptly filed a complaint with the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare citing the schools discrimination in its hiring practices. Between her complaint, speaking with the New York Times and an article penned by her for the Daily Princetonian, the school began to hire Latino professors, and the Judge established open dialouge with Princeton's university President.
In 1998, Judge Sotomayor became the first Latina to serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, one of the most demanding circuits in the country. She has participated in over 3000 panel decisions and authored roughly 400 opinions, handling difficult issues of constitutional law, to complex procedural matters, to lawsuits involving complicated business organizations."
Matt W. Moore Parallel Universe.
July 2, 2009
Artist and graphic designer Matt W. Moore debuted his latest exhibit in San Paulo Brazil just last week stating that his source of inspiration came directly from the city itself. Traveling to the vibrant city for one month in preparation, Moore initially had no concrete plans or ideas for the collection of art, but stated that after spending time in Brazil's largest city the solo project came together after absorbing the Brazilian culture. Full of vibrant colors and geometric shapes, the Parallel Universe series of artwork are entirely done with spray paint Moore's favorite ingredient for his artwork. Parallel Universe can be seen in San Paulo Brazil until July 25, 2009.

Beautiful Old Hollywood Editorial by Steven Meisel.
June 25, 2009
In my opinion old Hollywood glamour was real glamour. These days the more provocative your attire is, the more attention it garners to your craft, good or bad. Old Hollywood was about being sexy, seductive, and pushing the limits while still being a lady. Women like Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, and Betty Davis embodied and personified this style. This editorial from Vogue Italia, shot by Steven Meisel in 2008, is a great depiction of classic Hollywood that is still the standard of beauty today.

It has been a week since the highly anticipated elections in Iran between incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the people's candidate Mir Hossain Moussavi and there is still heavy unrest in the country from many of its inhabitants. Fires, bombings, arrests, and casualties have plagued Iran in the last couple of days. The massive outpouring is the result of a presidential election many believe was rigged.
Known by some as Iran's version of President Bush, current Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is not only known for his distrust of the United States and Israel, but more so for his stubbornness towards international regulators in relation to Iran's pursuit of nuclear technology. Words such as conservative, strong willed, and bullheaded have all been used to describe Ahmadinejad, but its believed his relentless persistence in obtaining nuclear technology have destroyed the country's image, and dragged down it's economy. An economy that is in a far worse state than it's ever been.
Banksy x Bristol.
June 14, 2009
The often illusive, pseudo anonymous, and pretty legendary street artist Banksy gives us another artistic gem in his latest exhibition at Bristol Museum in what is said to be his home town of Bristol England. BBC gives us all a look inside the art show as Banksy unveils 70 new pieces and a revamp of the Animal Shop in New York. The exhibit running from June 13, 2009 until August 31, 2009, was completely funded by the legendary artist and it's said that he will not be selling any of the pieces.
If you won't be able to make it to England any time soon, check out the video below of the collection, and more views after the jump.
The World According to M.I.S.S. Lebanese Youth Create Newspaper; Challenge Politics & Media.
June 12, 2009
Disclaimer: This article was written for online magazine M.I.S.S. Omni Media. All images and words are property of that magazine. If you would like to see the original, please view it via the M.I.S.S. website HERE.
In Lebanon, a place where politics and media are often divided and fear is the ultimate decider in political battles, there is a revolution brewing. A revolution that is being defined by the youth of the nation in the form of a new independent news paper that is shocking many and shaking up the status quo.
Sawt Ashabab, meaning 'Youth Voice' in Arabic, was launched just last week right before the country's Parliamentary elections, but began as a media literacy project at Lebanon's Notre Dame University. Its successful launch into an independent media organization has challenged the country's polarized media landscape and has brought together dozens of Lebanon's young adults to represent the ethnic and political divide in the country; many of whom are under 21, Lebanon's legal voting age.
Lebanese youth have not been immune to the country's recent political crises. And while they appear at rallies and demonstrations, they are not involved in the decision-making process on a substantive level and lack places where they can constructively express their views and aspirations
Sneaker Freaker: 'Is High Fashion the New SB?'.

There is no doubt in my mind that high fashion influences low fashion and vice versa. In Issue #15 of Sneaker Freaker Magazine, the sneaker enthusiasts take a deep look into the phenomenon that is the high end sneaker in the feature 'Is High Fashion Really the New SB?'. The article examines the many ways in which high end fashion has influenced the sneaker game and in turn how the sneaker culture and low end fashion has caused luxury labels to go back to the drawing board and create a little something for the streets.
Taking an in depth look at a few of the worlds most prestigious luxury brands and their past and present involvement in the sneaker world, are none other than a few of our favorite women. Tee from TrashBag Aesthetics/Trenddoll covering the Kanye West favored Louis Vuitton, Claw Money of Blogue covering Gucci, and our very own Miss Mama reporting on Chanel are not only outstanding voices in the article, but they also happen to be apart of our 'Women Making History' series here at M.I.S.S. Crew.

It's rare these days that I sit down with a book and immediately get excited. But I sat down with Craig Groeschel's book Chazown last week and my pen went flying! I felt like he was speaking exactly to the heart of all I've hoped to be able to convey here at Be The Proof. And I'm hoping it helps me begin to put into words better the heart and mission behind this blog!
{This post contains affiliate links. For more info, read our full disclosure.}
Chazown: Discover and Pursue God's Purpose for Your Life is newly revised in this 2017 edition. I haven't seen the first edition of this book, but I can tell you that this book is FULL of information! Just paging through, I knew I would be gaining a lot of information. With diagrams and pictures, Groeschel explains the finer points of Chazown clearly and concisely.
What is Chazown?
Chazown basically is the Hebrew word for vision. It's what leads and directs your life. Think of it like a gift from God!
One of the things I've felt desperate for here on the blog lately is some vision. To be honest, I got lost in the sea of book reviews and lost my purpose. This book landed in my lap at the best moment possible. As I gear up for a little mini-break, I'm taking all I've learned in Chazown and putting it into practice as I figure out what's next!
First, Groeschel begins the book by reminding us that when we are working out of our Chazown, we are actually given 4 gifts that keep us going. We are given focus, endurance, peace, and a passion. I know I'm not the only one wishing for a little bit more of that in my life!
You Can't Find Your Vision Alone
You will move through finding your vision by examining your core values, spiritual gifts, and past experiences you will take a journey to figure out what you've been uniquely designed to do. Then, you are shown how to name your Chazown and put it into action. Finally, Groeschel breaks down the parts that make of Chazown. As you look to small areas of your life to pour into, you are able to do something big. Lastly, Groeschel reminds us that we cannot do any of this alone! Your community is so important. Perhaps why a couple of the last books I've read have been about friendship! (Never Unfriended and Messy Beautiful Friendship.)
If you're not sure what's next in life, this is the book for you! If you're feeling adrift like me, this is definitely the next step for you. Take some time to learn. To pour into yourself. Find your vision. To gain that focus, endurance, peace and passion you need to continue on.
If you grab a copy, make sure you come back and let me know what your Chazown is!
I received a copy of this book from Blogging For Books. This review is my own, honest opinion.
