We find ourselves up to our necks in the middle of a lake. It takes some effort, but we learn to tread and stay afloat. From the center of the lake we can gaze in any direction we choose. We look around and see different shores around the lake. Some may appeal, others not. Eventually we learn to swim.
Some, however, choose not to swim. They just drift around and eventually the lake consumes them. Others drift around until eventually they are washed up on a shore – not of their choosing. Here they spend the rest of their days because that's just the way it turned out and it's the card they were dealt.
Others swim, but never reach a shore – as one is in sight, they change their minds and head off in search of another – destined to swim their entire life and never finding a shore that appeals, or is worth the extra effort to get to.
Others swim in the direction of the shore that the people closest decide to pull them towards. They have support on the long swim to this shore, and once on the shore, they will have a comfortable life because they have the support of those around them. They have not chosen this shore, but are comfortable and can be content with the surroundings they have found themselves in. There will also be those who have been dragged to a shore and are never content, but are too scared to leave because their surroundings have become comfortable.
Some will swim in the direction of the shore of their choosing – whether they are helped, or opposed along the way. They see appeal on a certain shore and swim towards it no matter what storms, currents and other swimmers get in their way. When they reach this shore they are happy to enjoy all that the shore may offer. It offers exactly what they want and have the opportunity to thrive.
Once people find themselves on shore, they may be happy to stay there and bask in the sun. They are content – this is what they enjoy and feel fulfilled in where they are. Others, however, may think about going for a swim once more. Another shore may start to seem more appealing. A change of scenery may be in order. Some will keep one foot firmly planted on the shore for safety never actually setting out for the new destination, but always wondering what could be out there; others will dive in and go swimming – they may find themselves up on another shore; others may swim back to the shore from which they came; others may end up drowning, never reaching the new shore and unable to get back to the one from which they came.
Choose your shore carefully and when setting out, swim towards it with purpose. Have courage and swim confidently with belief.

Simply Rich was written by the co-founder of Amway Richard De Vos. Now you might be asking why and how I ended up reading this book. A friend recommended it to me because of a rant I went on about owning your own business and being self employed. I honestly had no idea it was related to Amway. But I gave it a chance and read it. Nothing against my friend or Amway, but I definitely didn't agree with about 85% of what I read and heres why.
A false sense of America
The ideology was simple. If you are a Christian, conservative, who believes in the old America ( you know the Christian one) than you too can be rich, with some hard work and effort.
Honestly I agree that running and owning a business takes a sense of independence and hard work. But I didn't agree with the integration of religion and business ideology that he spewed over and over again through out his book.
There was also this sense that America used to be great, right after WWII, but somehow things have gotten so bad now. As he put it "People are just not proud to be American!" I'm guessing he never had to be on the receiving end of discrimination and racism people of color fought for during the same time period.
I'm just not sure how you can be patriotic yet hate what America has become. This seems very Un- American to me.
The Religious Political Rant got louder
The book opened up about how Christians are better than everyone else in his opinion. He made this clear when he talked about how he tried going to a regular school but just felt that his Christian school mates grew up better because of their faith. This was the reason he decided to re-enroll into his Christian High School after dropping out.
I let that slide. But it was interesting that I knew he was a Republican before he announced it and started hammering away with it towards the end.
I'm an independent. But in the end he was exactly the kind of Republican I thought he would be. Fears of socialism as well as a hate for communist countries. Eventhough he admitted that communist countries make him the most profits for his company.
In the end I felt he used Christianity as an excuse for success. In his defense he did mention that he separated Christian sermons from Amway meetings. Which was the least he could do, considering that his book did not do so.
The book was very repetitive. He's rich because he's chose the Christian Faith, is a Republican and is an American. It left a stale taste and I will not judge all of my Republican friends on his scale because that would be generalizing. Unlike him, I try to avoid this type of critical thinking error.
However, I feel that his type of old fashioned thinking about politics and religion needs to die out with his generation. In order for things to get better( and yes believe it or not they are better) we need to progress towards new ways of thinking. Not revert to old ways that didn't work. It didn't work then and it won't start magically working now.
As far as his defense about not taxing the rich because then they wouldn't be able to donate large sums of money to good causes (like Christian Churches). How about this proposition. We don't tax the top 10% that hold 90% of Americas wealth and power more. Instead we tax the Churches they helped make rich. No! Why?

Decoupage of the table
Especially for all fans to apply their imagination in the most unexpected places, as well as fighters for the second, third, fifth life of various interior items "so simple!" Prepared an amazing idea Renovation of furniture.
If the theme of decor and needlework is not alien to you, then for sure you are already familiar with Decoupage technique, When with the help of paper napkin and glue of pv can create incredible beauty on any surface.
The principle of this trend in decoration is at the heart of our furniture rework. Old table Will look completely different!
Decoupage of the table
You will need
- table
- A handkerchief the size a little more than a table-top (or a cut of a fabric with a bright print)
- iron
- PVA glue
- Varnish for wood colorless
- Brushes
- Shawl Carefully iron by iron.
- From the countertop, if possible, unscrew the legs: so it will be more convenient to work.
- With a wide brush apply PVA glue On the top side of the countertop or on the fabric (as you prefer) and carefully, trying not to stretch the picture, gluing the handkerchief to the table top.
- Turn over the countertop, bend the edge of the kerchief, grease with glue and glue. Leave the product completely dry.
- After the glue has completely dried, cover the surface with the handkerchief several Layers of varnish, Thoroughly drying each. Assemble the structure.
It is best to leave the product outdoors for 3-4Day for complete weathering of the smell of varnish, and then you can enjoy a cup of tea at a brand new table. Materials at least, work too, and the result is really happy!
Share your inspiration with your friends, they will appreciate this idea!

Some of you may have seen my Instagram posts this last weekend and thought, "What? Isn't she a sports and wellness dietitian? How does this match up? How is she talking about nutrition for sports and health but then her posts show pictures of eating BBQ mac & cheese and chocolate strawberry cupcakes?"
I thought I would take this opportunity to write a non-recipe post because I do think this topic should be brought to light. As a young or adult athlete, it's important to surround yourself with mostly nutrient-dense fueling foods to support your workouts and training. However, it does not mean that you have to eat "perfectly" all the time. What does "eating perfectly" really mean anyway? A sports or fitness "diet" (and I use the word "diet" here to define a way of eating - not as a means of restriction) still makes room for food that you love that may provide nothing more than satisfaction and a smile.
Like you have probably heard many other dietitians say, strict restriction, whether in the form of calories or of certain foods, only leads to eventual feelings of deprivation and then overeating those foods later on. In the end that is counterproductive for the athlete or exerciser.
As a young competitive athlete, I probably took this too seriously in the beginning, being overly rigid on when I allowed myself "treats" or those foods I really loved but didn't think were "good" foods for my sport. Later on, after I had changed my food and meal mentality and was eating more, eating on a semi-structured schedule to support my training and allowing myself those favorite foods when I really wanted them, that is when I actually started seeing improvements in my performances. No, I didn't eat french fries or chicken tenders before I went out on the ice, but I may have included them later on when it wouldn't be a pre-event meal. I ate my favorite warm chocolate chip cookies when I really wanted one and loved grabbing fro yo with my friends. I was incorporating some of my favorite foods into my regular balanced nutrient - dense meals & snacks and focusing more on the placement of these foods vs elimination.
As athletes and exercisers, we need to remember that it's all about meal and snack timing. When I go in and talk to high school athletes, I'm not telling them "oh, you can never eat a hamburger" or "yeah, you have to drop the ice cream for good". No, I actually never talk about eliminating. What I talk about is placement and what type of foods our bodies need for the best workouts and performances. I talk about what those pre and post event meals and snacks should consist of to give us the most energy and the best recovery so performance can improve and injury can be prevented. I have the same overall message for adult exercisers. I ask them to think about and create their plan. I ask them to write down their nutrition plan to support training and performance, which includes pre and post exercise meals and snacks. This sets the base and then other foods that may not normally be in your plan can be added when the occasion arrives.
So, back to Cupcakes and BBQ. I love fresh, simple meals. I think that's pretty clear from my Instagram account. I have learned over the years what foods fuel great runs and workouts for me and what I need after to help my feel stronger for future sessions. However, if I'm in a new city then I'm going to be curious and try new foods or, if I'm in an old familiar city like Memphis, I'm going to enjoy those foods that bring back memories. When you go to Memphis, you've gotta have BBQ. I have a goal of taking my husband to a different top BBQ place in Memphis on each visit, so this past trip was to The Commissary. I'm not a huge sweets person, but when in Memphis, I have to take a trip to Muddy's. It's the best cupcake shop local to Memphis and it was started by a girl who graduated from my high school. It was a fun, relaxing and delicious trip to Memphis mixed with reading, running, resting and eating at all of my local favorites. So, no, I don't eat a cupcake or big plate of BBQ before a long run and I certainly didn't eat them before an ice skating training session, but I will enjoy it on a trip home to Memphis where I want to soak up all of my familiar favorites.
Whether you are a competitive or elite athlete or a fitness enthusiast, remember that all foods can still fit into a sports nutrition plan at the right time. Eat to fuel and recover most of the time, but allow yourself to still experience the joy of food and the joy of eating.
Happy Fueling!

Angel Cloud
Occurred on October 11, 2016 / Camden, South Carolina, USA
Info from Licensor: "I started the engine and glanced to my left out of the window and there it was! I quickly did a double take to see if my eyes were fooling me and the second time I looked up all I could think or say was "Wow!" I stared for a moment and then it hit me, I better take a picture of this it's amazing! Maybe I should video it, better yet, I'll go live! The video is about 6 minutes long and does it absolutely no justice! You can clearly see that in the entire video it doesn't move at all, as a matter of fact, it was about 20-25 minutes before it moved! I did sit there for about 45-50 minutes until it was completely gone though. It was truly amazing! Since, I have received countless stories from people who have been touched and moved or comforted by this Angel cloud! I am so blessed to have witnessed this that day and been able to capture on film."

Brisbane Airspace Change for Medical Helicopters
4 April 2019
What do we want to change?
Medical helicopters often transport patients to and from hospitals in central Brisbane, including Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, Princess Alexandra Hospital, Mater Hospital and Queensland Children's Hospital.
Currently these helicopters have to ask for clearance from Brisbane Air Traffic Control, which can lead to delays.
This is because the helicopters are operating in controlled airspace meaning they have to share it with other aircraft who are also receiving instructions from Air Traffic Control.
We want to change an area of airspace between these hospitals to be uncontrolled airspace, meaning aircraft do not need clearance from Air Traffic Control to use it.
This change will make it easier and quicker for medical helicopters to get to and from these hospitals.
The changes will commence in November 2019.
What will this mean for the community?
The Brisbane Airspace Change for Medical Helicopters Fact Sheet provides more information about what is going to change.
Where can I get more information?
For general information on flight path changes, contact the Noise Complaints and Information Service (NCIS) on:

The difficulty today is determining "What is a BECS Accessory?" The FDA Executive Summary does not specifically define BECS accessories and frequently uses the phrase BECS/BECS accessory making it difficult to interpret what is a BECS, and what is a BECS accessory. Without a specific definition the combination of "identifying unsuitable donors" and "evaluate, determine, and track donor screening information and component history," found in the Device Description portion of the Executive Summary Introduction (pages 6-7), potentially makes all equipment/devices that could have results electronically transferred/uploaded to the BECS, a BECS accessory.

McDonnell's Confederate History Month proclamation irks civil rights leaders
King Salim Khalfani, executive director of the Virginia State Conference of the NAACP, said his group will hold an emergency meeting Saturday to discuss a series of problems it has had with McDonnell since he was sworn into office in January.
Virginia has had a long, complicated history on racial relations -- long before Richmond served as the capital of the Confederacy during the Civil War. Many of its most prominent early residents, including future presidents, owned slaves, and the state openly fought desegregation, even closing schools instead of integrating them. But in 1989, the state made Wilder the first African American governor in the nation since Reconstruction.
McDonnell said Tuesday that people's thinking about civil rights and the role of the Confederacy in Virginia history have advanced to the point where "people can talk about and discuss and . . . begin to understand the history a little better."
"I felt just as I've issued dozens and dozens of other commemorations, that it was something that was worthy of doing so people can at least study and understand that period of Virginia history and how it impacts us today," he said.
The state's new governor campaigned relentlessly on improving the economy and creating jobs and received the strong backing of the business community. But the attention that Virginia will receive from the proclamation might take away from that focus.
Rozell said the proclamation is a "distraction" from McDonnell's desire to attract companies to Virginia. Businesses might begin to perceive McDonnell's latest decision -- combined with Cuccinelli's decision to sue the federal government over health-care reform legislation and his advice to state colleges and universities that they remove sexual-orientation language from their anti-discrimination policies -- as a pattern of behavior not conducive to relocating in the state.
Allen caused a national uproar when he signed a proclamation drafted by the Sons of Confederate Veterans. It called the Civil War "a four-year struggle for [Southern] independence and sovereign rights" and made no mention of slavery.
Gilmore modified the decree in 1998 by adding a condemnation of slavery, but it failed to satisfy either defenders of Confederate heritage or civil rights leaders. He later changed the proclamation by dropping references to Confederate History Month and instead designated April as "Virginia's Month for Remembrance of the Sacrifices and Honor of All Virginians Who Served in the Civil War."
But in 2002, Mark Warner, Gilmore's successor, broke with their actions, calling such proclamations a "lightning rod" that did not help bridge divisions between whites and blacks in Virginia. Four years later, Timothy M. Kaine was asked but did not issue a proclamation.
This year's proclamation was requested by the Sons of Confederate Veterans. A representative of the group said it has known since it interviewed McDonnell when he was running for attorney general in 2005 that he was likely to respond differently than Warner or Kaine.
"We've known for quite some time we had a good opportunity should he ascend the governorship," said Brandon Dorsey of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.
Sen. Emmett W. Hanger Jr. (R-Augusta), who has spoken from the floor of the General Assembly about honoring Virginia's Confederate past with appropriate acknowledgments to its difficult racial past, said he believed Warner and Kaine "avoided" the issue by failing to issue similar documents.
"It would be totally inappropriate to do one that would just poke a stick to stir up old wounds. But it is appropriate to recognize the historical significance of Virginia in that era," he said. "I think it's appropriate as long as it's not fiery."
McDonnell's proclamation comes just before the April 17, 1861, anniversary of the day Virginia seceded from the union.

The 7 Samurai of Noise Assassination
Except for that faint air conditioning rumble, hash that comes in through your guitar pickups, noisy electronics in a vintage electric piano, your monitor's 15kHz oscillator frequency, that tube preamp you like so much, and . . . you get the idea. Noise can still be a problem, and we still need to deal with it. Here's how.
Here it is:
"Noise reduction works best on signals that need it the least."
You can get rid of a teeny bit of hiss fairly easily, but you can't remove lots of noise without removing (or at least modifying) part of the signal itself. Remember this on your "Quest for Quiet," because nothing can save a horribly noisy signal. And this law has a corollary:
"Noise is reduced by lots of small steps, not one big one."
Minimize noise at every opportunity. Cut a dB here, another dB there, and eventually it adds up; you'll probably end up using a combination of the following seven techniques.
How it works: Noise is all about the ratio of signal to noise, so if you weren't asleep in 3rd grade, you know that more signal is equivalent to less noise. The object of level optimization is to feed the most signal possible (short of distortion) into your system.
How you do it: Start with the simple stuff — make sure a mic's pad switch (if present) isn't engaged unless needed. Also, turn instrument volume controls up all the way if possible (with digital instruments, this may give better resolution too).
If you're a fan of close miking, high bass levels may require turning down the mic pre input gain. Check your mic for a low cut filter, and engage it if it doesn't affect the sound adversely so you can get more level into your mic pre. Similarly, a pop filter can reduce low frequency "plosives" that would cause similar problems.
Also, good mic technique that provides a consistent level lets you turn up the input gain as much as possible. Finally, "know thine metering." A mixer channel's overload LED may turn on when a signal exceeds zero, or it may be conservative and turn on when the level hits about -6dB. Check your DAW's waveforms to see if clipping truly occurs when the overload LED kicks in, or whether you can safely up the volume by another dB or two.
Nasty stuff: You can increase level by only so much until distortion occurs.
Mitigating factors: You don't need any special gear for this.
How it works: This "brute force" technique uses a steep low-pass filter to remove very high frequencies, where hiss energy tends to hang out. Some instruments don't have much high frequency energy, so you can remove some of the hiss without destroying too much of the signal (Figure 1).
Furthermore, a steep low-cut filter can reduce low-frequency rumble. The filter in your mic or channel strip might not be steep enough; you want at least 24dB/octave. And for hum, a steep notch at 60 or 50Hz (depending on where you live) can attenuate the hum's fundamental frequency.
How you do it: Insert a filter after the signal's output. A slightly more advanced variation is to record with the high frequencies purposely "hot" — for example, use a mic with a big high-frequency bump. When you pull back the highs a bit to reduce hiss, the signal returns to a more balanced sound.
Nasty stuff: Removing highs may also remove some of a sound's "sparkle," and reducing lows can thin the sound.
Mitigating factors: You probably have an equalizer that can provide decent filtering, so no extra investment is required. Also, there are variations on this theme, such as adding envelope control to filtering. This is somewhat like gating (see next), as the amount of processing depends on the input signal. With a high input level, the filter kicks open and lets through high frequencies. With low input levels, the filter frequency closes down, removing high frequencies and presumably, some hiss along with it.
How it works: With this old school technique, you set a threshold level just above the hiss level. For any signal below this threshold, the "gate" closes and doesn't let any signal, including hiss, through to the output. Once the input signal exceeds this threshold, the gate opens and lets the signal through. The noise is still there, but with sufficiently high signal levels, the desired signal will likely mask the hiss. Some noise gates (Figure 2) include bells and whistles like frequency selectivity, "lookahead" option so that the gating occurs just before a transient, and a "hold" parameter to set a guaranteed gate open time.
How you do it: Place a noise gate at the output of the signal you want to clean up. If your signal source feeds something like a high-gain preamp or compressor, you might also consider putting a gate before the high-gain stage so that any crud doesn't get amplified.
Nasty stuff: As the signal transitions between gate open/closed conditions, there can be an abrupt, noticeable change in sound. If the signal criss-crosses over the threshold, there can even be "chattering" between the gate's two states.
Mitigating factors: Adding an attack time smoothes the transition from off to on, and a decay time does the same when going from on to off (and also discourages chattering). Another option is not to close the gate fully, but to apply perhaps 10dB of reduction. The gate then transitions from the existing noise to a smaller amount of noise, which is not as blatant a change.
How it works: Expansion is the reverse of compression. Below a certain threshold, amplifier response becomes non-linear so that a small decrease in input level results in a large decrease in output level. For noise, the result is similar to gating, as small amounts of hiss are "pushed down" toward the bottom of the dynamic range.
How you do it: Expansion is usually part of a dynamics control processor that also does compression. To reduce hiss, you set an expansion threshold level just above the hiss, then add a really steep ratio, like 10:1 or higher. This causes the output level to drop dramatically for relatively small input level decreases (Figure 3).
Nasty stuff: If the noise level is fairly high, expansion gives problems similar to gating.
Mitigating factors: Expansion typically includes attack and decay controls, which can provide a more natural effect.
How it works: Ah, how soon they forget. During the days of analog tape, compansion (compression/expansion) was the Holy Grail of noise reduction. It worked by compressing the signal going into a noisy signal path (like tape). At the tape output, the signal would be expanded to restore the original dynamic range. However, any hiss added by the tape would be expanded downward (see "Expansion"), thus reducing the hiss. For example, dbx noise reduction added 2:1 compression and a high frequency treble boost to the incoming signal. At the output, there was 1:2 expansion and a high-frequency treble cut equal and opposite to the original treble boost.
How you do it: Patch the compressor at the input, and the expander at the output. You also need to calibrate levels carefully, otherwise the compression and expansion might not be exactly complementary.
Nasty stuff: Sometimes you could hear "modulation noise" riding along with the signal, and with poor level calibration, the sound would tend to "flutter" or waver. And if a tape had been encoded with a particular type of noise reduction system, you had to have the same type to play it back.
Mitigating factors: Digital recording pretty much eliminated the need for compansion-based noise reduction, although the principle lives on in some guitar effects and other noisy analog systems.
How it works: This DAW-specific way to reduce noise works similarly to gating. But unlike gating, which is an automatic process, automation lets you "customize" when to mute and unmute (as well as fade in/fade out) noisy passages, and can give very good results (Figure 4).
How you do it: You visually inspect a waveform, and create automation moves. When the "signal" ends and the "noise" begins, you draw the automation curve so that it fades out into silence, remains silent during the noisy part, then fades back in again when the signal reappears.
Nasty stuff: If you have lots of tracks that need to have noisy passages turned into silence, it can take a long time to do this manually.
Mitigating factors: Some programs automate the process, essentially by adding noise gate-like options where signals below a certain level are converted to silence. But this has the same limitations as using a noise gate. Another time-saving option is to automate mute moves in real time as a track plays, but this won't be as precise as drawing in curves.
How it works: Companies like Algorithmix, Waves, Sony, BIAS, Creamware, Steinberg, Enhanced Audio, and others make software-based solutions (stand-alone and/or plug-in) that uses sophisticated algorithms to analyze, and remove, noise. This can include not just hiss but crackles, pops, vinyl scratches, hum, and rumble.
How you do it: Open the program, load the file you need to process, tweak the parameter values for best results, and save the cleaned version. Or, insert a plug-in, and render the cleaned file.
Nasty stuff: Cost. Although some digital audio editing programs (e.g., Adobe Audition, Wavelab) include noise reduction, separate versions can cost up to several hundred dollars. Also, extreme cleaning can produce audible artifacts.
Mitigating factors: When these programs work, the results can be miraculous.
And how well do they work? Check out the article "The Curse of the Mic Preamp" in this issue's Gearhead section, where we put four noise reduction programs to the test.
Which of these seven techniques (or combination thereof) will work best for a given situation comes down to trial and error. But persevere, and you may be very surprised at how much you can clean up a signal these days by using the right tools.

What You Need to Know About Ice
Ice is one of those "foolish" questions. Ice is the freezing water. The water molecules are made from an oxygen atom bound to two hydrogen atoms. They form what a layperson would call the shape of the shallow "V," with two atoms of hydrogen on the outside and an oxygen atom in the middle. From about 32° F to about 212° F, the water is in a liquid form. In liquid water, hydrogen atoms are constantly making and breaking bonds with other hydrogen atoms. These bonds are strong enough to protect water changes in steam, but freely enough that the molecules move freely.
If you apply heat, molecules absorb energy from a heat source and become more energetic. About 212° F, the bonds between the hydrogen atoms of water molecules are disrupted, and the molecules are released into the air in the form of water vapor.
At the other end of the scale, slow the molecules up to about 32° F and hydrogen atoms are locked together as a pattern that forms a crystal. These crystals take up more space than free-flowing molecules of liquid water, so that ice has a lower density than water, and can float.
You can have fun with the process of water crystallization. As already mentioned, smooth water forms a solid mass of about 32° F. However, if another substance is mixed with water to form a solution, the atoms of this substance can affect the ability of hydrogen atoms to form rigid compounds. This will change the temperature at which water freezes.

What is the Temperature?
Temperature is a measure of the velocity (or energy) of atoms in a given substance. A more formal "temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy possessed by the particles of the object." Atoms are always moving. The faster the movement, the more energy it contains. If a substance with fast atoms moving collides with a solid at slower atoms, the energy of the high-speed atom wants to go to the substance to slower the moving atoms. When these two substances have the same temperature, scientists call it "thermal equilibrium."
What is Heat?
Heat is energy, clean and simple, but it's energy in motion. "Heat is the transfer of energy from an object with a higher temperature to the object at a lower temperature."

This place was OK. Just OK.

What this means is that only that little room was ever really "cool" while the rest of the hotel room was pretty warm. You could stay at a worse place.

Is Your User Content Online Legally Yours?
by David Pogue, Scientific American, March 5, 2013
Instagram, the phone app that lets you take pictures, apply artsy filters and then share them, is huge. …Then, late last year, Instagram did something massively stupid: it changed its terms of use, the document of rules for using the service. The new terms included this gem: "You agree that a business or other entity may pay us to display your username, likeness, photos … without any compensation to you.The backlash was swift and vicious. …People quit Instagram en masse. Lawyers filed a class-action suit….

Getting Down To Basics with Services
Tips on Choosing a Cleaning Service Company
We all ought to work from a clean environment if we want to maintain good health. Besides, clean businesses can attract more customers and thus boost sales. The task of maintaining such high levels of cleanness should be assigned to professional cleaning companies. Here are some of the tips that will help you in finding the best cleaning company.
Begging by a quick check on the company's online reviews will help you determine the perspective of previous customers on the services of this company. The reviews can be able to shed light on a number of things including the authenticity of the company, and on whether it is authorized by law to operate within that specific area. Online reviews will, therefore, reveal other important aspects about the company like the rating as well as the experiences of other customers who have ever used the company to meet their cleaning purposes. Positive review is an indication of a legit company that you should consider working with.
The next step in finding a reliable cleaning company is seeking recommendations from referrals. Your family and friends can be an important source of information about reliable cleaning companies in your area. Your choice on a good cleaning servicer provider will be dependent on the information that you receive from your close friends and relatives.
The third consideration before choosing the best cleaning company is finding out their cost estimates. The cost estimates is usually determined after service providers visit your office find out what is required to do the cleaning. Businesses or offices that require complex cleaning methods will always cost higher. Do not easily fall in the trap of companies who are inexperienced in the cleaning business and who just want to attract you with cheap prices but end up doing poor cleaning of the office or business premises. You should ascertain what cleaning methods are included in each package before you pay for them.
Finding out whether the cleaning company has insured its staff is important before hiring their services. An insurance cover against any accidents is essential for the cleaners as accidents on the wet floor is a common occurrence. If you fail to take this seriously, you will be in for it in case an accident occurs within your premises.
In summary, it is not easy to find a reliable cleaning company. Due to the fact that we all want to work from a clean office or business environment, we must, therefore, find the services of professional cleaners. Some of the important factors that you should consider include the company's level of experience, customer reviews as well as many more aspects. You need to take the above hints seriously if you want to have it easy the next time you want to hire a cleaning company.
Looking On The Bright Side of Services

Penn State Basketball
Penn State men's basketball: Nittany Lions have to contain inside game against Purdue
Penn State's big men are familiar with Purdue's A.J. Hammons.
Donovon Jack and Jordan Dickerson battled the Boilermakers' 7-0, 261-pound center twice last season. Both were whistled for nine fouls and both fouled out of one game against Purdue.
The Nittany Lions are looking to stay out of foul trouble when they meet the Boilermakers at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Bryce Jordan Center. The challenge isn't just about Hammons this year as Purdue has another physically imposing post threat — 7-foot-2, 297-pound freshman center Isaac Haas. The Purdue big men are each averaging 10.1 points per game while combining for 10.6 rebounds per game.
"We got to work hard in the interior without fouling," Penn State coach Patrick Chambers said Friday. "And then we have to do our job on the exterior and the perimeter, trying to get deflections and at least having high hands or some type of ball pressure."
Penn State is looking to snap a four-game losing streak to start Big Ten play. After playing three of their first four conference games on the road, the Nittany Lions (12-5, 0-4) hope to make the most of a return home Saturday against the Boilermakers (10-7, 2-2).
It is the start of a stretch of three home games in four contests — with a game at Michigan State on Wednesday before hosting Rutgers and Minnesota.
"We got to protect our home court," Chambers said. "This is the stretch that we got to go on a little bit of a run here. Out of the gates, we knew it would be difficult, but now we got to flip this thing our way and take care of home court."
Penn State will need to contain Hammons and Haas.
Last season, Hammons went 10 for 14 from the free-throw line to help Purdue edge the Nittany Lions 65-64. Jack fouled out in 31 minutes of action and Dickerson picked up four fouls in seven minutes. Hammons scored 18 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in Penn State's 79-68 win in the rematch, while Dickerson fouled out in 10 minutes and Jack was whistled for four fouls in 22 minutes.
Haas has provided a presence inside, too.
He's shooting 61 percent from the field, good for third in the Big Ten. And he's gone to the free-throw line a team-high 86 times. The freshman and Hammons are averaging a combined 38 minutes per game.
The 6-foot-9, 210-pound Jack has fouled out of three games this season. But he's stayed out of foul trouble and gone 7 for 7 from the field to score 19 points in the last two games. Dickerson, the 7-foot-1 center, has yet to foul out in 17 games but he's been whistled for four fouls six times.
6-foot-10 reserve forward Julian Moore was called for three fouls in nine minutes Tuesday against Indiana.
But the issue extends beyond the big men.
"We just have to play a lot smarter," Chambers said. "We have to move our feet a lot better. We have to be in a stance. Indiana's really quick and our reaction was two hands on them and that's where you get foul trouble.
"Then we're hand-checking left and right, so we have to do a better job of knowing the scouting report, knowing tendencies and playing better angles to prevent fouling because Purdue's going to drive the ball and they're going to put it inside."
Hammons and Haas are among six Purdue players averaging at least 8.5 points per game.
Penn State put together a balanced scoring effort in its loss to Indiana, but starting guards D.J. Newbill and Shep Garner were an inefficient 11 for 31 from the field. Jack and Travis combined to go 10 for 11 from the field.
Chambers is looking for his backcourt and frontcourt to produce on the same night.
"We haven't hit on all cylinders all year long," Chambers said. "Our guards were just OK against Indiana and our bigs were great. Then Michigan, our guards were good, our bigs weren't so great. So we have to keep mixing it up. Guys got to continue to take open shots and play with great confidence."
The coach is hoping his big men carry their success Tuesday into their matchup with Purdue.
"With our bigs having a good game," Chambers said, "they should be feeling good about themselves and being confident heading into Saturday."
Notes: Purdue leads the series with Penn State 30-12. … Ross Travis enters Saturday's game ninth in program history with 719 rebounds in his career. He is nine away from tying Calvin Booth (1995-99) for eighth on the list. ... Kendall Stephens leads Purdue with 10.9 points per game. Stephens is third in the Big Ten with 42 3-pointers and is shooting 42 percent from beyond the arc.

Book 1of the Avalon Trilogy
"It's Simple. No Sight. No Questions. 48 hours." This quote led me to pick this book as the part of the #SexMeUpReadathon as it seemed the perfect "dirty weekend away" storyline.
Dr Alexandra Burke a psychologist leaves her home to give some lectures across Australia, after the first one she meets up with her old lover from university, Dr Jeremey Quinn. He propositions her to stay for the weekend under the conditions of no sight and no questions. Alexandra agrees as she knows Jeremy would not do anything to hurt her and she has enjoyed herself with him before.
I was disappointed by this book; it sounded so good but just did not live up to my expectations. I think the main reason for this was I just didn't believe in the attraction and passion between Jeremy and Alexandra, it felt very forced which put me off. I didn't really like either character; Alex annoyed me because she seems to forget she is a mother. Jeremy takes her phone off her for the weekend and I didn't like this as we are told her children are away on a school trip. Now being a mother myself I know nothing would keep me from being reachable to my children and this bothered me. I was surprised to find the author also has two children, so maybe it's just me that has issues with this. I also felt she was too submissive to Jeremy, she agrees to his suggestions almost straight away, even though you can tell she has doubts. I wanted more from Jeremy's character, we never really get to find out much about his thoughts and feelings and this left me feeling he was a little one-dimensional.
This book started off quite well and I did quite like the first half of the book. However it all became a little too much for me to get my head round and became very clinical and not very passionate, which is was I was expecting. It did not leave me feeling hot and bothered which other erotic fiction books have done, I just felt confused and slightly disturbed.
The ending does answer some of the questions and issues I had with the book and the way it leads onto the second book in the trilogy was done well, if slightly predictable. I have the second book in the trilogy on my to be read pile, so I may pick this up at some point. I am giving this book a rating of three stars out of five. I'm giving one star because the book is well written, despite my issues with the content. Another star because I did like the way it lead onto the second book , which if you enjoyed the first would make you want to read the second straight away and a third star because although I didn't like it I'm still thinking about it, so obviously the author has done something right. If you like erotic fiction which is challenging and possibly has unique scenes then give this book a go, sadly it didn't do it for me.

With Hurricane Florence bearing down on the East Coast and mandatory evacuations ordered up and down the Atlantic seaboard, Congress is taking a wait and see approach to the schedule and has not ordered any changes so far.
"Due to the important nature of votes expected on the Floor and in committee this week — there are no changes to the House schedule at this time. We will continue to monitor Hurricane Florence and send further updates as needed," a statement from the office of House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said Tuesday.
Congressional leadership staffers are monitoring the hurricane closely and conferring with the National Weather Service as well, a GOP aide said.
Because of Rosh Hashanah observances, the House and Senate were not scheduled to return to Washington for votes until Wednesday.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump declared his administration is 100 percent prepared for Hurricane Florence, the powerful storm headed toward the Carolinas.
"Everybody is ready," he told reporters Tuesday as he deplaned Air Force One outside Washington. "We are absolutely totally prepared."
Lindsey McPherson and John T. Bennett contributed to this report.

What I learned during my internship at Oxide (Julie Gates)
If you are looking for one of those internships where the lowly intern is thrown into a tiny cubicle sharpening pencils and folding mailers, then you've come to the wrong place. During my time at Oxide, I've learned what it's like to work with an awesome team that does great work. A small design studio has always been appealing to me, and after my experiences here, I've really grown to love it. The office itself is one really cool room where everyone is working, joking, and bouncing around ideas. I even got the desk next to the sweet office dog Rosie for a little while. It was fun to observe how Drew and Adam handled conference calls and see Julia discussing a site map with a client. And best of all, I got to work on real client projects!
Mostly having done fictitious projects for school on my own, it was a huge learning experience to be able to work on actual client projects with the Oxide team.
It was a different scenario than I was used to, working as a group and solving problems together. I've learned so much from all the experienced designers here. Not once did I feel like just an intern. I always felt like a member of the team, and what I did mattered.
Here's a glimpse of some of the projects I got to work on:
- Designing Maha Music Festival's local gig poster. A screen printed gig poster is a project every designer looks forward to. The line work in this poster was inspired by an old map of Omaha, creating a whimsical world where the map grid is suspended in mid air.
- The beginnings of revamping Oxide's website to make room for other great work to come. This was tough because Oxide has great work, so deciding what projects should go was a difficult task. Being able to discuss what makes a project more successful than others was a good experience for me.
- Concepting and design of a logo for the Center for Civic Design, an organization that ensures voter intent through design.
- Working on logo concepts for a national cinema equipment supply company's new product.
- Collaborating on the rebranding of Joslyn Castle, a historic estate in Omaha now used to educate and enhance the cultural aspects of the community.
Whether it's sharing our weekend stories at traffic meetings, taking a quick break at Bucky's for an afternoon pick-me-up, or concepting logos, I just know that everyone here cares so much about their work and each other. I think it's awesome that Oxide takes on clients that are doing great things and clients that help build the community around us. I feel very lucky to have taken part in the Oxide experience!

Etobicoke, ON: On November 24th, two nationally ranked teams battled head to head in an intense three set match. The Fanshawe Falcons (1st , CCAA), travelled to Etobicoke to be welcomed by the Humber Hawks (5th , CCAA).
The Hawks had a slow start in the opening set against the Falcons. Making minor mistakes, Fanshawe was given an early opportunity towards the lead. Humber quickly cleaned up their game though, as an offensive presence by Kamyn Wilkins and Rafael Hilário brought them right back into the game at 10-10. They quickly let Fanshawe slip away with the lead again, the Hawks began to crumble under pressure. As the point spread widened between both teams, Humber was unable to catch up. The first set ended 25-20 for the Falcons.
The Hawks did not seem to show up to the second set against Fanshawe. Giving away a 4-0 start, Humber seemed unable to get under the ball and perform properly. The lead continued to widen between both teams as the Hawks offence was nonexistent. Now down by 10, there was not much opportunity for Humber to revive themselves from their deficit. The Hawks were winded by the Falcons as they flew away with the set at 25-13
The third set brought new energy from the Hawks men's volleyball team. Fighting to take a set off of the number 1 ranked team in the country, the Hawks took a quick 4 point lead from the Falcons. After a timeout by Fanshawe to regain their energy, the Falcons worked towards shortening their deficit. After minor errors on Humber's side, the Falcons remained just two points behind. Right side attacker Rafael Hilário made the Hawk's Nest go wild after slamming a kill onto the Falcons floor, and forced them into a timeout. Now 23-22, both teams were head to head for claiming the victory. With no time outs left, both sides were exploding with energy. Both teams went back and forth, point for point, all the way to 30-30. Neither team was willing to fall under pressure as each rally was lasting nearly a minute or longer. After a tight match, the Hawks dropped the third and final set 33-31.
After an intense three sets against the best ranked team in the country, the Hawks came up short of the victory. Rafael Hilário led the Hawks with 10 kills, while Kamyn Wilkins followed directly behind with 7 kills and 2 aces.
Next week, on November 29th, the Hawks will travel to Welland to compete against the Niagara Knights. Full preview to come.

Above the Clouds

Way above, in someone´s blue heaven,
the mountains´ fingers claw
at the azure,
brown talons emerging from
snow-white gloves.
We hover, suspended
in the cerulean air,
buffeted by the wind.
And the chatter is from
ворон or грач,
not any indigenous snowbird.
The honk of Dutch Belgian geese
drowns the solitary cry
of a Scottish hawk,
I look in vain
for a lost Atlantic Petrel
far from her Southern home.
We are all birds above
the clouds, in Austrian Skies.

text: Each year a notable number of children are exposed to violence in their homes and communities. This exposure can result in negative health and well-being consequences. Safe from the Start (SFS) programs were funded to provide treatment services and supportive referrals to children exposed to violence and their families. This report provides an overview of the Illinois Safe from the Start program, program outcomes, and implications for policy and practice.

It was an unimaginable situation for a program of the St. Bernard baseball team's stature. A state champion of all of a few weeks, it suddenly lost its coach, its athletic director and seemingly, all stability in early July.
It was an unimaginable situation for a program of the St. Bernard baseball team's stature. A state champion of all of a few weeks, it suddenly lost its coach, its athletic director and seemingly, all stability in early July.
"People don't understand — you just won a state championship, the first here in 25 years. It's a big deal, a huge accomplishment," said Bill Buscetto, who was named the Saints' head coach in December, roughly five months after former coach and AD Mike Garvie resigned facing charges in connection with an online predator sting.
"And when that news came down about the coach and athletic director," Buscetto said, "this whole thing could have imploded."
But it didn't. Never had the chance to, never even came close to that.
Now, the Saints — full of fresh faces and new expectations — sit three days away from opening its first Class S title defense in a quarter century.
Gone are seven senior starters from last year's 23-2 team, but in their place will be one of the area's best pitching staffs and a St. Bernard alum in Buscetto at the helm. The state gets its first look Thursday in Plainfield.
Jim Leone won't be driving the bus, but he's played as big a role as anyone in getting them there.
"Amazingly," Buscetto said, "only because of Jim Leone did this program stay on steady ground."
Summer of transition
With Garvie gone, left to pick up the pieces of his own life after an arrest on criminal attempt to commit risk of injury to a minor and criminal attempt to entice a minor, Leone did the same for the Saints.
Entering his 28th year in the program, the Saints' assistant organized the banquets, ordered the championship rings, collected the uniforms.
When Garvie was suspended from the state title game after being thrown out the contest before, Leone became the voice in the huddle inside the dugout.
In the weeks to come, he called everyone together again, this time for a meeting in the wake of the news to calm any concerns that the program wouldn't recover from this.
"I wanted to make sure that the kids understood there would be continuity between what they had and what they would get," Leone said. "It wasn't going to fall flat on its face."
"He let us know everything was going to be all right," senior Pat Lowery said.
Leone, who knew he would be at the school over the summer, said stepping forward was easy. But there was nothing easy about this situation.
"I've talked to several parents," said Buscetto, also named the school's AD in August. "This school is so lucky to have him because without him, (they said), 'I might have had my kid transfer, I might have taken my kid out.' He's invaluable here."
That's not to understate the role Buscetto has played, too. Unsure if he'd be the head coach until midway through the winter, he came from Stonington, where he coached for seven years, always with an eye of taking over the program.
He and Leone — who consider each other more co-coaches than anything — spoke with the players throughout the fall. And as he spent as many as 14 hours a day at the school to catch up on work left from the summer, Buscetto made sure his door was always open.
"Since Coach Buscetto's been there since day one of the school year, I just knew everything was going to work out," Lowery said. "Overall, I think it's for the best we have him in here this year because I think his style corresponds with the kind of baseball we're going to have to play."
Back to baseball
As Buscetto said multiple times by phone Sunday morning, things will be different this year for the Saints: How they play, who they play and in some ways, who they play against.
Through all this, the hope is the results don't change. If St. Bernard can repeat, it'd be the first ECC team to do so at the state level since East Lyme went back-to-back in 1988 and '89 seasons.
"The expectations are high," senior centerfielder Anthony Ruffo said. "There are a ton of new kids, but we feel that we can still win the state (championship). We just need to work hard because obviously it won't be easy as it was."
Not that it was all easy. In surging to the S crown last June, the Saints orchestrated comeback victories in the second round, semifinal and championship rounds.
That was made possible by an offense fueled by the area's top two home run hitters (Mike Aldrich and Ben Nossek, with seven and four, respectively) and one of its best all-around sluggers in Tyler Turgeon, among others.
"They were putting up crazy numbers," Buscetto said.
This year, with just two returning starters in Harrison Smith and Ruffo in the field, the pitching staff will be the strength. Lowery, the winning pitcher in the state championship, will be followed by a solid No. 2, junior Jeff DeLucia and Smith, largely the team's No. 3 last season.
Several positions are still up in the air — "I can name 100 kids" who are in contention to start, Buscetto said. But others like Ryan Brahm, stepping into the catcher's position for the first time, help make up a core that Buscetto said "needs to have monster years for us to have any chance at all."
"I think the goal the last couple years has been state championship game or bust," said the coach, a junior on the 1990 squad that lost in the state final to Fitch. "But realistically, looking at this club, we're going to have to work hard where we can seriously compete for the state championship game. But I'll take my chances with this group. I think we're going to make noise when the state tournament rolls around."
That's all the Saints could ask for.
"It was just a phenomenal experience (winning the title)," Leone said. "I want to get that feeling again."

In New Brunswick, there are two types of childcare services, licenced, which are services registered with the provincial government, and unlicensed, which are services not registered with the provincial government, these are often home daycares.
Children under five years old can go to daycare for the entire day. Once children are school-age, they can go to afterschool programs. Afterschool programs often pick up your children directly from school.
Some daycares and afterschool programs are better than others. They are also different prices. It is important to ask a lot of questions before choosing care for your children.

Every storage unit is swept clean before you move in.
Only customers with a unique entry code can open the building doors to enter the building. A professional security company patrols the facility daily.
Temperature extremes and high humidity are the leading causes of damage to goods in storage. In our climate controlled units, the average temperature is maintained between 50 and 85 (F) with average relative humidity controlled to prevent mold growth.
We meet customers at our storage facility most anytime, including evenings and weekends. Please contact us to schedule an appointment.
Our rental agreements renew on the 1st of each month. For non-renewal, we need written notice only 10 days before the 1st. Many facilities require a 30 day notice.
We provide a free NEW cylinder lock to our customers. The lock actually fits inside the latch, so it can't be cut with a bolt cutter. They're less likely to rust or freeze up in the winter compared to disk or padlocks. Some storage facilities reuse their locks. We don't because of the slim chance that others may have copied the key.
We accept online credit card, debit card and ACH payments. You can select individual or automatic monthly payments. We will always email receipts to you and can email invoices, if requested. The payment system gives you control of starting/stopping/changing payment methods.
In 2013, we installed an extremely durable, watertight roofing system on each building, backed by a 15-year warranty. Its white, reflective surface also reduces urban heat pollution.
We guarantee your storage rental rate for 12 months. Some storage operators raise their customer's rates several times a year.

An Introduction from the Chief Executive
"When we created the Touch FM Pride of Stratford Awards in 2012, it was our intention to create an awards ceremony that reflected the best that our town has to offer. What we created was a ceremony that brought together a 'who's who' of Stratford District for a truly glittering celebration of everything that's fantastic round here - and I'm delighted to announce that the Touch FM Pride of Stratford Awards 2018 are coming.
I very much look forward to welcoming over 400 VIP guests on Friday 8th February 2019.
There are many reasons for taking part in the Awards; you may have missed out on a nomination last year, you may be looking for the recognition that your organisation deserves, or you just may know someone that deserves to be recognised and honoured for going 'beyond the call of duty' and making a difference to the community. Either way, the Touch FM Pride of Stratford Awards 2019 are already the hottest ticket in town.
I look forward to seeing you there!"

I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed working with Mark of Mark A photography. He was an encourager, confidant in his abilities, and a friend throughout the process of coordinating and taking our anniversary pictures. His style and technique of photography captured us as a couple perfectly. He was able to get a sense of who we were as a couple, and used his talent and knowledge to capture that in his pictures. It was comforting to hire someone who knew what they were doing, taking much of the stress away from being in front of a camera. I would recommend Mark a thousand times over and over again. We can't thank him enough!
"Mark Aycock photography exceeded our expectations for our wedding. Mark is very dependable and incredibly talented. The pictures from our wedding day came out better than we could of ever imagined. They really came out beautiful and he managed to capture memories that we will cherish for many years. Mark and his team were very professional but also fun and calmed those "wedding day" jitters. Mark was a pleasure to work with!
Mark was a riot to work with for our engagement shoot! Our session was a blast, and Mark made us feel completely at ease and comfortable. Whether we were dodging streetcars or acting like VIP to get a balcony on Bourbon, Mark was down for the cause and our wild ideas. He captured every feeling that we wanted to convey in our shots, and blew our expectations out of the park! The fun we had hanging out with Mark in New Orleans has ignited our excitement about what is to come on our wedding day!
Mark has a way of capturing our girl's personalities that makes my heart full. As a parent it's hard to get good pictures of your kids when you are in the photo. Mark makes everyone feel comfortable and he's able to capture great moments. I always get excited about our sessions because he makes it fun! I'm already looking forward to next time!

Tuition and University Administration Fees
The cost of your course depends on the institution, what you're studying and your eligibility for government assistance. The fees cover the unique costs associated with studying that particular degree and are generally the biggest expense associated with studying at university.
The majority of students are eligible to receive assistance from the Commonwealth Government in paying these fees, giving you the option of delaying payment until you can afford to.
This still leaves students with other administration costs that often need to be paid on commencement of study or throughout your degree.
Tuition costs and how to pay them
There are two ways to cover your tuition costs:
- As a full-fee paying student – where the student pays the total cost of study upfront or with the assistance of a FEE-HELP Loan from the Commonwealth Government.
- Within a Commonwealth Supported Place – where the Australian Government contributes to the cost of your study and students need to pay a 'student contribution amount' for their units.
University administration fees and how to pay them
In addition to tuition fees universities have university fees. University fees cover general administration costs and use of facilities e.g the toilets and libraries.
These fees are generally paid upfront each semester. If you are having difficulty paying them, you can apply for Government assistance via an SA-HELP Loan.

How Much Does Landlord Insurance in Rives Cost?
There's really no one-size-fits-all landlord insurance protection plan! When preparing a insurance quote for you the insurance providers will take into account several factors including:
– Physical Attributes of the Residence
– Location of Home
– Property Age
– Updates & Enhancements Made To Property
– Whether You Have Occupants Or If Property Is Vacant
– Claims History
– Credit & More
Every insurer has their own individual method that they use to "guesstimate" risk. These formulas are used to figure out the amount of money you will be asked to pay to insure your property. Because each company uses their own formula, the rates vary, often substantially from one insurance carrier to the next. That is why it is so beneficial to partner with an agency like us that offers multiple top-rated landlord insurance companies.
Our certified agents will take the time to impartially shop the competition on your behalf. Give us a ring today or get an on-line estimate now to get started. We are dedicated to finding you the maximum level of protection for the cheapest price.
