4 Types Of People Should Never Use Ginger. Are You One Of Them?
>> More DIY Ideas <<
Health Benefits Of Ginger has been widely recognized in the past few decades. Ginger has become irreplaceable in many health recommendations. Ginger weight loss solutions, ginger ale recipe, ginger tea are just some examples. Watch the video to learn more about health benefits of ginger.
As a matter of fact, ginger roots are used since ancient times because of their antiseptic properties in the kitchen and out of it. Ginger, with many of its enzymes, helps strengthen our digestive systems, relief cold, remove toxins from our body, and many more. As a result, ginger has become one of the most powerful natural substances in the world. Watch how to plant and grow ginger at home.
However, great power comes with great risk. What is a cure for someone might be poisonous for another. Such healthy and natural food as ginger is exception. For certain people, this great herb can cause more harm than good. If you are one of them, forget about health benefits of ginger. You should avoid ginger as you can.
Underweight people
Ginger is great for weight loss, because it reduces your appetite and burns your fat. However, if you are trying to gain weight, you should avoid ginger and ginger based supplements.
Pregnant women
Avoid ginger especially if you are in the late weeks of pregnancy, as this powerful natural stimulant can lead to premature contractions and preterm labors.
People with blood disorder
Ginger is a great stimulant and increases our blood flow, which is nice for our health in general. But for people who have blod disorders such as hemophilia, ginger can make things worse.
People who take medications
Ginger may affects the way some drugs act in your body. Avoid ginger if you take medication fro blood pressure or diabetes. The best bed is to consult with your doctor first.
Watch the video to learn more why you should be careful when using ginger.

I've noted many times in this space that I am pretty much just a casual hockey fan – though I follow the team closely and keep up with all moves and news – but last night was one of the most entertaining sporting events I've witnessed in some time.
Fed up with the antics of the Canucks, and after seeing a cheap shot in the first period send teammate Nathan Horton to the hospital, the Bruins unleashed the fury on Vancouver last night, routing the Canucks 8-1 at TD Garden to get back into the Stanley Cup Finals. Vancouver still leads the series two games to one with game four set for tomorrow night at the Garden. Get the complete links at Bruinslinks.com.
Response team – Fluto Shinzawa has the Bruins stepping up their game after Horton was taken out. More game stories and wrapups from Steve Conroy | Paul Kenyon | Amanda Bruno | Mick Colageo | Danny Picard | James Murphy | DJ Bean
Bruins earn redemption in Game 3 – Joe Haggerty has the Bruins getting themselves back into the series. Bob Ryan says that this performance was a long time in coming. Jackie MacMullan has the Bruins responding with force. Douglas Flynn has the Bruins determined to win after the hit on Horton.
Thomas's performance is a huge hit – Tim Thomas not only protected his net from the puck last night, he also managed to level Henrik Sedin to the delight of Bruins fans. Michael Whitmer looks at a memorable night for the Bruins goaltender. More on Thomas from Ron Borges | Matt Kalman
Shawn Thornton's impact play – Stephen Harris has Thornton a big hit in his return to the active lineup. More on Thornton from Joe McDonald | Matt Kalman | Jesse Connolly
Neely suiting up for different duty – Bob Ryan has the Bruins Hall of Famer reflecting on 25 years in Boston. Bill Burt wants to give Neely full credit for the Bruins resurgence.
Cherry on top of all things Bruins-related – Stephen Harris has the former Bruins coach delighted to see his former team back in the Finals.
Hits still issue they can't lick – Kevin Paul Dupont has a pair of articles on hits in the NHL and the discipline (or lack thereof) being handed out by the league. The second one is NHL deserves assist on hit.
Marchand not short on the right stuff – Barbara Matson has the rookie showing his electic stuff with a short-handed goal.
Mark Recchi quiets critics – Dan Duggan has the 43-year-old netting a pair of goals in the win.
Bruins' Ference threw his weight around – Eric McHugh looks at the big contributions from the defenseman.
Funny business by Milan Lucic – Steve Conroy's notebook has coach Claude Julien not amused by the antics of his forward in taunting the Canucks last night. The Globe notebook from Fluto Shinzawa has more on the contributions of Thornton. The ProJo Bruins Journal has more on the hit on Horton, which will keep him out for the remainder of the series. The CSNNE.com notes have more on Julien chastising his team for their taunting. The New England Hockey Journal has Canucks coach Vigneault subtly insulting Nathan Horton and blaming him for his injury.
The new prospect crop: Sox hope first day of draft yields impact – Alex Speier has a look at the prospects drafted by the Red Sox on the first night of the MLB draft.
Adrian Gonzalez not perfect, yet worth every dime – Gerry Callahan with a column on the Red Sox new slugger, which predictably is not so much a prose of praise for Gonzalez as it is a chance to bash Manny Ramirez, who Callahan says "bilked" the Red Sox out of $160 million.
He's comfortable with his position – Michael Vega has Jarrod Saltalamacchia coming into his own with the Red Sox.
Jon Lester not rolling with Red Sox – Gordon Edes notes that the Red Sox lefty has been surprisingly average during Boston's hot streak.
Sox never so eager to go to the Bronx – Tom Caron has the Red Sox looking forward to their series with the AL East leading Yankees.
Red Sox, Yanks renew rivalry with first place on line – Scott Lauber's notebook has the two teams ready to battle. The Globe notebook from Peter Abraham has more on Lester's struggles.

HE was a writer, artist and renowned Newport headmaster who wrote over 800 articles in the South Wales Argus and several books about his beloved Gwent.
Fred Hando is still fondly-remembered by many for his weekly column, illustrated with his own line drawings, which delighted generations of Argus readers with his depictions of places in our county.
Fred began to write his columns for the Argus in the 1920s. He wrote to the then editor William Collins asking if he would be interested in an illustrated article on local places of interest. The editor agreed, but said: "I'll have 15".
And so under the title 'Rambles in Gwent' he began his weekly column, which told of the history of unexplored corners of the county. He continued writing for the Argus until 1970, just four weeks before he died.
From later this week, we will publish his columns again, giving you the chance to enjoy his evocative prose which captured, as another Argus editor, Kenneth Loveland, said: "The shy beauty of this delectable county".

Proper numerical simulation of the Earth's climate change requires reliable knowledge of solar irradiance and its variability on different time scales, as well as the wavelength dependence of this variability. As new measurements of the solar spectral irradiance have become available, so too have new reconstructions of historical solar irradiance variations, based on different approaches. However, these various solar spectral irradiance reconstructions have not yet been compared in detail to quantify differences in their absolute values, variability, and implications for climate and atmospheric studies. In this paper we quantitatively compare five different reconstructions of solar spectral irradiance changes during the past four centuries, in order to document and analyze their differences. The impact on atmosphere and climate studies is discussed in terms of the calculation of short wave solar heating rates.

(To see the 'Happy' version of this recipe, click HERE) This was no easy task my friends. I had many attempts at trying to make a popcorn coated in vibrant purple chocolate healthier, and many failed.
There were many popcorn ideas that could have worked, and that I could have very well eaten...But when I put it to the test against my family, a lot of times they just said...No. Actually more like no way, gross, disgusting, is that coconut oil??
I still wanted it to be coated in white chocolate, because after all, that's what the Happy version of the recipe was. (Actually, I don't think that candy coating is real chocolate...)But I knew that I had to makeover that purple color, use REAL ingredients, and still leave it tasting delicious...if not better!
I could have easily added purple food coloring to the white chocolate, but I wanted to take it one step further and NATURALLY color the popcorn. The secret to the popcorn color was freeze dried blueberries. I blended them up into a fine powder and mixed it with the chocolate, which naturally tinted it!
The best part was that my kids and husband ate it without any complaints!
Don't worry, they had a few things to say about the dinner I made later that night...Glad they are back to their normal selves...
Healthier Blueberry White Chocolate Popcorn
9 cups
- 9 cups popped popcorn
- 1 c. good quality white chocolate
- 1/4 c. freeze dried blueberries
- 1 tsp. coconut oil
- eye sprinkles
- bug sprinkles
- Add your popcorn in a large bowl.
- Melt the white chocolate in the microwave, 30 second increments.
- While the white chocolate is melting, add the blueberries to a blender.
- Blend until fine crumbs,
- Add the blueberry dust to the white chocolate and mix together. Add the coconut oil to the chocolate and melt in the microwave for an additional 10 seconds.
- Pour the chocolate over the popcorn, and fold until its completely coated.
- Pour popcorn on prepared baking sheet. Add sprinkles, pressing them into the top of the popcorn so they stick to the chocolate.
- Put in the fridge for about 10 minutes to set.
- Store in sealed bags.
(Someone is totally ready for pumpkin and Halloween season, don't you think?)

I have to admit that I'm not the biggest fan of huge fantasy RPGS like the witcher, skyrim, kingdoms of Amalure, and the like. They have huge towns and even bigger maps where tons of people offer you tons of quests and tracking everything is a pain. You have a bunch of items that you pickup everywhere, some you could sell (but hold on to), some that might be used to craft something sometime in the future, you get a couple of skills and powers, some of which help you, some of which aren't enough to have you manage to defeat very strong enemies (that you can go fight right away because the world is so big and some foes are bound to be stronger than you) and you learn through trial and quick-saving what you can and can't do.
The Witcher 2 does a bunch of right things
I love skill trees, even when some of the skills you NEED to take aren't really interesting, W2 has four skill trees (one you need to invest in until you're level 7) and then three main trees, swordsmanship, magic and alchemy. Most of the upgrades are passive bonuses to your existing stats and spells and some of them are stronger attacks or basic mechanics (such as being able to parry in all directions) that you need to spend some points on. Even more interesting are the mutagens that you can allow to certain skills, granting you passive bonuses to whatever they boost (increasing spell range, maximum hit points, etc.) so you have skills and items to upgrade your character in a passive way. That being said, the mutagens are dropped randomly and can be used as crafting materials, so you might want to hang on to some of them.
The game is also very good at telling you what effects are on your character at all times. The character sheet tells you everything there is to know about all your stat changes so it's easy to see how you've built your Witcher. You also see the passive skills you've unlocked through the way you play (if you use fire magic a bunch, you'll get bonuses, if you intimidate people in conversations, you'll get better at it) and passive bonuses you get against certain enemy types that you're learned enough about. I wasn't able to find any books related to that but killing a bunch of enemies will also grant you some knowledge.
The game flow is also pretty good, you run around swinging your sword at things, dodging around, casting magic and dodging around some more, I liked the combat in W2 even if sometimes I felt like my spells didn't connect even tho they would've.
The interface and loot system is kinda bad
Not being able to switch between your different interfaces while you're in them is a pain, you have to quit out of the inventory to open the character sheet and all. The inventory is cluttered with a huge amount of sub-categories for your items, traps, bombs, throwing weapons, armor, junk, quest items, recipes, crafting materials, enhancement items, the list goes on. You also find items in every container, felt, thread, cloth, ores, dusts. All of this can be used for something, but you're not sure what, and picking everything is what people do so this is no exception. You also find money and equipment sometimes (but you start with some neat epic armor that will be good for a chunk of the first chapters) and the amount of flowers and mushrooms and herbs you can pick to craft potions is also pretty large, they're everywhere.
You can't drag poisons in your quick-use bar and you can't even drink potions from your inventory and the quick menu you can get in-game is mostly useless. I know that Geralt needs to meditate before you can drink potions, but that means I'm never going to use them. You can't meditate in combat and you can't know what kind of enemies you're going to face beforehand.
Facing ghosts, I wanted to apply ghost oil to my blade and had to do that in a menu, why not leave the oils in a quick-access wheel, available when you pause the game? The fight when horribly wrong and I wished that I could have more life regeneration, but it was too late, you can't drink potions in combat, and so I died, having to reload a save made half an hour ago. I never used the quick pause menu because I mostly used the fire spell and everything else wasn't useful in life-or-death situations.
How I would fix this
The whole meditation aspect is really neat setting-wise but on a matter of gameplay, I'm not a fan of it. I think it would be more fun if you could coal your weapon with poisons on the fly, it would be more fun if you could quaff potions whenever you need to (and maybe some potions should have more instantaneous effects instead of slowly regenerating your health but that's another story entirely). The inventory should be easier to navigate, some items could be in the same category and they should've calmed down with the crafting/alchemy/loot system.
No need to be able to get a thousand different items (some enemies will drop their fangs, claws, hides, brains, blood, etc.) that you can break down to alchemical components or sell when it's unclear if you're going to use them. They should've lessened the number of components and added more junk loot (only usable to get money) and the components could've broke down automatically (or maybe after a trip to some store, but that adds some hassle). So if you loot a monster that dropped its legs, beak and wings, maybe the wings are worth some money and nothing else, maybe the legs and beak break down into whatever alchemical components they're usually going to be. You'd then carry 'components' instead of 'a billion of different items with no apparent value'. That would streamline this and make it easier to understand.
I'm always overwhelmed by the quest systems in this kind of game but I really like how flavor text for the quest (or directions) get updated as you progress through them. They should've gone a bit further with some of it tho, I was doing a very simple quest to destroy monster nests and nowhere did it tell me that I actually needed a specific kind of bomb to do it. My character refused to do anything to the nests before I read online what I needed to do.
Some quests are also very vague about where you need to go to complete them. No manner of arrows nor directions (I would've loved at least a zone where I could've completed my objective in) for a quest requesting me to kill two spider queens. If the items I needed were static and didn't move, why not show me where they were? Finding them in that forest was more annoying than fun. One last thing about quests; I find it annoying when games switch the active quest because a new one appears, if I'm tracking a quest that I want to do, don't switch it up.
How I would fix this
Be more straightforward with the quests explanations, don't just shrug off and say "I have to destroy these nests" if bombs are the missing element. Show general directions of things to do if you don't want to pinpoint them exactly for the player because while exploration is fun, it should grow naturally out of player choice, not because you need to find one spider egg and have no clue of where it could be.
This game is interesting, but too difficult for me
Even on easy, I couldn't defeat some ghosts without dying and losing a bunch of progress. Frustrations related to being unable to heal at all during that fight and uncertainty as to why I was overwhelmed such by these opponents made me not want to play this anymore. It got charm and content for hours, I'm sure, but being terrible at the hack-and-slash-dodge made progress really difficult.

Perhaps useless is a little too strong but oversold and overhyped are words that do apply. In the oracle community there were a lot of books sold and consulting engagements booked in the 90's with concepts like buffer hit ratio and index rebuild solutions.
But if it is not useless then how do you use them? As long term indicators ... maybe ... if you don't have useless/miscoded applications that are propping the values higher than they should be ... and if you have good development practices looking at explain plans, indexing alternatives, etc.
So the devil is in the details if you say they are "useful" ...
So the pendulum has swung way over to the other side, as you note, perhaps too far? Received on Mon Mar 17 2008 - 09:45:04 CDT

This bar mitzvah held a lot of firsts for me: the first time shooting at Northern Virginia Hebrew Congregation, first time shooting at the Reston Hyatt Regency and the first time I didn't get to meet the bar mitvzvah boy before the day of his bar mitzvah. Because we didn't meet beforehand, I didn't have a read on Jack's personality. Turns out he was like all 13-year-old boys and was not at all excited about having his photos taken at temple. BUT, he was patient and accommodating and put up with me as best he could. We did family photos after the service which was also new to me and ended up being a great idea ~ all the nerves were gone and everyone was so much more relaxed. But the party. Oh, the party. One of my favorite party planners, Carin Lomax, was in charge of the reception and it was amazing. They had customized baseballs as the centerpieces, a cool lounge area for the kids and ball caps with Jack's bar mitzvah logo on it. I love working with Carin because I know that no matter what happens during the evening, she will handle it quietly and efficiently and the client won't even know there was a hiccup.
Electric Entertainment and DJ Blake were also there and I love working with them, too (I've hired them for my daughter's bat mitzvah). The unusual part of this party? The kids didn't dance *nearly* as much as the adults. It was completely backwards from almost all of the other receptions I've photographed. The kids had a great time hanging out in the lounge and the adults hogged the dance floor ~ it was awesome.
Thank you, Nathan family, for being so great to work with (I love laid back clients!). Enjoy this preview of images to come:

A I sometimes think it was easier in my young campaigning days because you could vent your feelings - often with hope of success - on the near-at-hand local authority when education was short-change d. It is almost certainly not any longer your authority's fault that the budget has had to be cut yet again. It will be up against the central restrictions on total spending and I expect, like others, it has already cut other services all it can.
I think individual letters to MPs are the most effective protest. The habit ofletter-writing has so declined that if MPs get even a handful of letters on the same subject, they accept that it is a big issue.
Do make time to talk as a governing body about the values you share and your priorities for the school. So often we study budgets looking only down the right-hand column for a sum roughly equal to what we have to save.This is the worst possible way to make a decision but I think we have all done it. I once said that we were like motorists who, feeling their brakes failing, look for something cheap to hit, but I know it's not funny any more.
It is a time for innovative thinking, but with your team united on the things which mustn't suffer whatever happens. To most of us, that means the classroom teaching.
But in pursuit of this goal, don't close your minds altogether to the unthinkable as natural opportunities occur. Is your senior management top-heavy? Is there scope for using a higher proportion of support staff to teaching staff when opportunit ies arise, so that teachers are at least spending all their time teaching? Are you using information technology to best effect? If you have some part-time staff can you share out some trimming of hours to spread the burden?
Then, looking at the secondary curriculum, I often think less harm is done by dropping, a whole less-than-essential activity for a term where the opportunity arises (that is, through postponing a staff replacement in an area of learning which lends itself to a carousel approach) rather than a range of mean across-the board economies.
I assume you have explored all the "fairygodmother" possibilities. But would a local firm sponsor a heart-tugging activity of some conspicious kind? Or give you a new more economical boiler? And have you looked really hard at your water bill?
Probably none of these ideas fit your circumstances, but at least they illustrate the kind of off-beat ideas you look for.
Don't forget to do all you can to make your teachers feel valued during this time since often they interpret undervaluing education as undervaluing their work. Also include them as much in your thinking as you can, and work as openly as possible. At least this takes some of the bitterness from hard decisions.
Q This is a large comprehensive. The head has informed us that he wants an additional (third) deputy and proposes to advertise. Can he do this?
Q Our deputy head in this primary school has been on long sick leave and has now decided to take early retirement. The head has offered the permanent post to the senior teacher in the infants department, starting after Easter. Can she do this?
A No, in both cases. In the first, it is governors who determine the staffing complement: the increase from two to three deputies is not a decision the head can make alone.
In the second, it is simply illegal to fill a permanent deputy post without national advertisement, never mind without consultation. The law saysquite clearly that vacancies for heads and deputies must be nationally advertised. An acting appointment is another matter, but even this should be by agreement with governors.

This title meets a great demand for training in spatial analysis tools accessible to a wide audience. Landscape ecology continues to grow as an exciting discipline with much to offer for solving pressing and emerging problems in environmental science. Much of the strength of landscape ecology lies in its ability to address challenges over large areas, over spatial and temporal scales at which decision-making often occurs. As the world tackles issues related to sustainability and global change, the need for this broad perspective has only increased. Furthermore, spatial data and spatial analysis (core methods in landscape ecology) are critical for analyzing land-cover changes world-wide. While spatial dynamics have long been fundamental to terrestrial conservation strategies, land management and reserve design, mapping and spatial themes are increasingly recognized as important for ecosystem management in aquatic, coastal and marine systems.This second edition is purposefully more applied and international in its examples, approaches, perspectives and contributors. It includes new advances in quantifying landscape structure and connectivity (such as graph theory), as well as labs that incorporate the latest scientific understanding of ecosystem services, resilience, social-ecological landscapes, and even seascapes. Of course, as before, the exercises emphasize easy-to-use, widely available software.http://sarahgergel.net/lel/learning-landscape-ecology/Show Less

Pan-seared duck breast with simple slaw
Photo by Doug Sherring
For the duck
|Duck breasts
|1 pinch
|Flaky sea salt
|1 splash
|Red wine
For the slaw
|Red cabbage, finely sliced
|Carrot, grated
|Fennel bulb, thinly sliced
|1 small handful
|Fresh coriander
|1 small handful
|Nuts, peanuts or cashews work well here
For the dressing
|Red onion, finely chopped
|1 Tbsp
|Soy sauce
|1 Tbsp
|Sesame oil
|1 Tbsp
|Chilli oil
|1 tsp
|Wine vinegar
|1 pinch
|Flaky sea salt
|Lemon, juice only, or use lime juice
- Whisk all dressing ingredients together in a small jug until emulsified. Taste and adjust seasoning to your own liking.
- Mix the slaw ingredients together gently in a bowl. Set aside.
- For the duck, remove it from the fridge at least 15 minutes before cooking - this helps regulate the temperature when cooking. Score the fatty skin with a criss-cross pattern and sprinkle with salt.
- Heat the element to medium-high but keep the pan cold (this helps the fat come off the breast). Place the duck skin-side down in the pan and put on the heat.
- Preheat the oven to 190C.
- Allow the heat to increase and spoon off the fat as it pools in the pan (you can use this for your roast potatoes if you're cooking them). Once it's golden brown, flip the breast over to sear it for about a minute, then place in a roasting tray skin side up.
- Place in the oven and cook for about 10 minutes, and then remove the roasting tray and rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice each breast and serve on the plate with a pile of slaw, and then drizzle the dressing over the slaw and the duck.

Incredible villas, private pools and a relaxed pace make this luxury resort on Al Hamra Beach the place to stay if you want a quick getaway from the bright lights of Dubai.
While we love to visit some of the world's most popular destinations, like Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, we get most excited discovering the more obscure corners of the globe. So when we go to some of the bigger cities -- like Dubai -- we try and make it a point to seek out the lesser known destinations nearby as well. As we started planning a trip the United Arab Emirates (UAE), we knew our first stops were Dubai and Abu Dhabi, but we wanted to see what else the country had to offer. There are seven emirates that make up the UAE, but I doubt many people could name the other five. Truth be told, we wouldn't have been able to name them either, but that's what excited us, and drew us to want to visit Ras Al Khaimah.
The emirate of Ras Al Khaimah is only an hour's drive from Dubai, but it feels like its a world away. Lacking the oil which has turned its sister emirates into busy metropolises, Ras Al Khaimah is refreshingly relaxed and has retained much of its sleepy desert atmosphere. It is a much smaller place with a much lower skyline, and because of this it feels much more peaceful and authentic. It is also home to not one, but two Ritz-Carlton resorts -- one in the Al Wadi Desert, and the other situated on Al Hamra beach, which is where we were headed for a few days of blissful relaxation.
We set off from Dubai, and watched as the skyline receded in the distance behind us. As we ventured further the landscape became more and more desolate, giving some sense of what Dubai was like just 20 years ago before it's massive building boom. After a short one hour drive through the desert, we arrived at The Ritz-Carlton, Al Hamra Beach.
After a brief check in, we were led to a waiting speedboat which whisked us across the bay to a strip of land where the hotel's villas are built. Here, the team was waiting to welcome us with refreshing towels and a cold drink. Then, it was into a golf cart which took us to our own beachfront villa.
When it comes to accommodation options at this this Ritz-Carlton, private beachfront villas are the only thing on offer. The villas are located along a strip of reclaimed land giving each villa their own oceanfront views. This means that privacy is guaranteed, and if our fellow guests hadn't all shown up to the restaurant for dinner, we would have sworn that we were the only ones in the hotel. Perhaps it's this privacy which makes this the favored property of the royal family and various celebrities.
A beachfront villa is rarely unpleasant, but these were especially grand. Our self-contained space had its own private plunge pool, and this – combined with how comfortable and complete our villa was – meant that we never actually wandered out onto the main public stretch of sand or pool. Inspired by the tents which the local Bedouin Arabs have lived in for centuries, our room at the Ritz-Carlton, Al Hamra Beach was all white sheet curtains and exotic patterned fabrics. There was plenty of space to relax, with the king size bed and the divan sofa giving cozy places to relax on. Alongside the pool, outdoor was a terrace with sun loungers, a huge bath (yes outdoor bath!) and a calming garden of palm trees and other tropical plant life.
The villas are also set up in such a way that you never really have to leave. There is plenty of space, so you can have your meals in privacy in your PJs if you want, or even in the pool! One morning we decided to "stay in" and the team brough breakfast to us in the pool! Yup that's right. We had it delivered in a floating tray, complete with champagne right in the pool with us. Slightly messy, yet totally indulgent, this is definitely worth a try, if not for the fun pics alone :) The team is super helpful so definitely take advantage. Now you can understand why we never left :)
There is one restaurant on the property, although the other Ritz-Carlton hotel is just a short golf cart ride away, and has several more options, which guests are welcome to try. Our restaurant, the Shorehouse, was excellent. It's menu includes local Middle Eastern dishes, familiar Western options and a few bits and pieces from other parts of the world – Japanese, Peruvian, and Italian. The design is light, open and welcoming and you can chose to eat on the outside terrace (complete with pool) which overlooks the beach.
The bartender at Shorehouse is wonderful, and can pretty much create any tropical drink you want...so just let him do his thing and sit back and relax. PS: If you're looking for something refreshing and non-alcoholic, have him serve you a frozen mint drink… you can thank me later!
So yes, the service was perfect, food was on excellent and the room was incredible...but we were also impressed by how much effort was made to accommodate Axel. He was not old enough for the hotel's kids program (they cater for children aged four and older), but they really went out of their way to make him feel comfortable. We had a crib in the room, and every time someone saw us outside our villa they would come over, make sure Axel was comfortable and play with him.
Although you can easily spend all your time, sipping cocktails on your private beach and feel utterly relaxed, make sure to stop by the spa for that bit of extra relaxation. Spanning several buildings, it looks out over the beach giving you peaceful views of Persian Gulf as you enjoy your massage. They offer all sorts of treatments but do yourself a favor and book one of their shell massages. It's similar to a hot stone massage, but utilizes hot lava shells instead. This gives the added benefit of transferring calcium ions into your skin, in addition to making you feel serene and relaxed. Attached to the spa is a 24-hour fitness center, complete with treadmill, weights and exercise balls...but really in the desert heat, who goes to the gym?
This main reason for staying at this Ritz-Carlton is to get away from the bright lights of Dubai and relax. If you do want to get out however, there are plenty of things to do. Dubai is only an hour away so it is easy to visit for a day trip, and Abu Dhabi is not much further. There is also an abundance of historic buildings and a trip into town will give you a more authentic glimpse of Arab life than you would get elsewhere. It is also possible to get out into the desert with a guide and a 4x4. Here you will find oasis's, beautiful mountainous landscapes and lots and lots of sand dunes.
We chose to stay put and enjoy the luxurious surroundings of the hotel. Anyone looking for a place to do the same will be happy staying here. It's beautiful, exotic and - in our opinion - a must visit during your trip to the UAE. Kids are welcome too, although it is perhaps best suited to couples hoping for a romantic getaway.

PARIS, Nov. 23, 1963 (UPI) - He wanted to stay in the Soviet Union, said the slight and intense young man sitting in Room 233 of the Metropole Hotel in Moscow.
Living in the United States, he added, would mean being exploited by the capitalists. That was one of his reasons for coming to Moscow.
"Lee Harvey Oswald, Fort Worth, Tex., arrived Moscow, Oct. 15, 1959, applied Oct. 16 for Soviet citizenship," I had written in my notebook that day when I was on assignment in the UPI bureau there.
Early today, after Oswald's arrest in Dallas, I found my notes on what he had said when I located him in Moscow after he went to the U.S. Embassy there and asked that his citizenship be canceled.
Sitting by a fringed lampshade and looking out the lace-curtained window on Revolution Square, he talked easily as if he were anxious to get all that he said published.
"I was born in New Orleans and lived for two years in New York," he said. "I spent most of my life in Fort Worth. My father died before I was born. My mother works in shops mostly, in Fort Worth."
As he continued, he gave me the impression of a person who is determined but unsure of himself, na

Dallas Cowboys
Cowboys DE Randy Gregory fully reinstated by NFL to practice and play, source says
Dallas Cowboys defensive end Randy Gregory has been fully reinstated to practice and play in games, an NFL source said.
Gregory, who hasn't played since the 2016 season finale because of an indefinite suspension due to repeated violations of the league's substance abuse policy, was reinstated on a conditional basis last week.
He was cleared only for meetings and conditioning work. He was not going to be cleared to practice or play in games until "arrangements have been confirmed regarding Gregory's clinical resources in Dallas, and subject to continued compliance with the terms of his reinstatement and all aspects of the NFL-NFLPA Policy and Program on Substances of Abuse," the NFL stated in its initial release.
Gregory had met those conditions for living in Dallas but needed to get those matters squared away for his three-week stay in Oxnard, California, for training camp.
In addition to going through continued counseling and testing as well as finding a treatment program in Dallas, Gregory is required to live with an accountability partner, a source said.
It's all part of a focus to keep him accountable and hopefully ensure his success.
Gregory will meet the Cowboys on Tuesday in Oxnard for the start of training camp.
"Just really excited about Randy. He's worked very hard to get himself back into this position," Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said. "It'll be good to see him. He's a good kid, and he deserves this opportunity."
The former second-round pick has 20 tackles and one sack in the 14 games he has played.
The Cowboys plan to ease Gregory back because of his time away from the game.
"He's worked hard physically to get himself right. He's been away from football, so there will be some challenges in terms of his transition back," Garrett said. "He hasn't been with our team at all, he hasn't been competing with NFL players so there might be a little bit of a transition for him, so we have to be mindful of that.
"We'll just have to see where he is. But we're excited to have him back, and I know he's excited to get going."
He has worked with former Raiders defensive end Greg Townsend to brush up on his football skills. But there will be rust. If Gregory can show enough in camp to become a situational pass rusher in his first year back, it would be a great boost to the Cowboys.

By Ally Kennedy, Founder of Amiga
Though it may seem counterintuitive, hosting a free legal clinic is a way to boost business. You may already participate in community-organized legal clinics as a way to give back to the community and contribute your legal services to those in need, which is a wonderful and altruistic act. However, from a business perspective, volunteering in legal clinics does not usually translate to a steady stream of new business.
By hosting your own free legal clinic, you will attract people who are interested in you and your services specifically. You will build goodwill for your business because it will be branded by your law firm. Additionally, it has the dual benefit of serving people in need while at the same time increasing your business.
Here are some tips on how to successfully organize a free legal clinic:
1. Get the timing right
Who do you want to attract to your legal clinic? This is an important question to ask because the day of the week and time of day are critical to making your legal clinic a success and should be based on your Ideal Client's schedule.
For our firm, we have found Sunday from 6pm-8pm to be the best time for a legal clinic.
2. Find an easily accessible place to host the clinic
If your office has ample parking and a large waiting area and conference room, then that may be the right place. However, if, for example, your elevators only have key card access on the weekends or the setup isn't right for allowing multiple people to wait at the same time, you may have to seek out another location.
The local library can be a great location because they often are centrally located and allow you to reserve conference rooms for free. Churches are another great option, however sometimes they impose certain requirements and/or limitations which may not be the right fit. (That is for you to evaluate and decide.) It is ideal to avoid having to pay for a space if possible, so these are two (usually) free options that you can check in to.
3. Promote the Clinic Widely
Your firm's Facebook page is a great way to spread the word. (In fact, I have used my firm's Facebook almost exclusively to promote any of my free legal events.) You can also contact local radio stations who target your Ideal Client to ask if they could mention the free legal clinic and/or invite you on to discuss it. Passing out fliers and posting posters in local establishments where your Ideal Clients frequent is another way to let people know of the clinic. (with permission of course)
You will have to experiment with how much time you need to promote the clinic to have a good turnout. Because my Facebook page is quite active, I promoted exclusively on my Facebook page with 2 weeks notice and had a great turnout.
4. Have a System for the Day-Of
You need a way to make sure the day of the event runs smoothly. You need to be prepared to do fast consultations in a high volume. Here's a system you can use. It involves the attorney plus two other people, in our case we had a legal assistant and the business manager.
Step 1- The legal assistant is seated at a registration table and greets people as they come in. She provides them with a very detailed intake sheet that asks the majority of the screening questions. It is important to ask these detailed questions on the intake sheet because of the fact that if you have a good turnout, you will not get to spend more than a few minutes with each person.
Step 2- When the person returns the intake sheet, she numbers the sheet to designate the person's spot in line.
Step 3- When it comes to the person's turn, the legal assistant walks the person back to the attorney.
Step 4- The attorney reviews the intake sheet and asks pointed questions. When she determines eligibility, she very briefly describes an overview of the relief for which the person is eligible, then walks the person over to the business manager. The attorney takes notes on the intake sheet and notes what the person is eligible for.
(Alternatively, if the person is not eligible for anything, then she briefly explains his/her rights and provides him/ her with a business card and some other marketing item, such as a refrigerator magnet.)
Step 5- The attorney tells the business manager what the person qualifies for. The business manager then explains to the person the pricing and provides a quote sheet (link here) with the prices along with a list of all of the required documents to get started. He presents the quote sheet in a folder that has his business card, the lawyer's business card, a marketing item (like the magnet), and on the font the firm's name and address. If the person would like to get started on the case, he schedules a time for the person to come in. Otherwise, the person leaves fully informed and armed with what s/he needs to begin a case in the future.
Then, the following business day:
Step 6- The legal assistant prepares a thank you post card that she mails to every person who attended the event.
Step 7- Within a week, either the business manager, attorney, or legal assistant calls each person who was eligible for legal assistance to ask if there are any additional questions and/or schedule an appointment to come in to sign up for the case.
As you can see, this is a very simple yet effective system that gives all attendees a personalized experience. It is well-branded throughout because everyone receives your business card, a branded folder, and branded information about their legal options, so it helps raise awareness of you and your law firm. It is a win-win for all involved.
Give this a try and report back on how it works for you!

UPPER EAST SIDE (WABC) -- Police in Manhattan say they have identified the suspect who sexually assaulted a woman on the Upper East Side.
Police say they are looking for 32-year-old Gregory Anderson. He's 5'7" tall and weighs 145 lbs.
It happened around 5 a.m. Saturday morning as the victim was walking along East 94th Street.
Police say Anderson walked up and grabbed her from behind and threw her to the ground just after she crossed 2nd Avenue.
The suspect then forced the 36-year-old woman to walk further down the block where he stole $40 from her and sexually assaulted her.
She ran away from him and into a nearby store where Anderson was allegedly unable to find her.
Police released a photo of the suspect from a 2014 arrest for drinking in public.
Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).

MtronPTI Shrinks Size for Wireless Communications Clocks
MtronPTI Shrinks Size for Wireless Communications Clocks
Tight stability, ultra-miniature TCXOs available in 2.5 x 2.0 mm package
ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- MtronPTI, leader in precision frequency control and custom RF/microwave filters, today announced the M6053/4,M6055/6 and M6064/5 TCXOs - tight tolerance, high stability in portable electronics-friendly small packages. Mel Mehret, MtronPTI lead wireless communications applications engineer says, "Most telecom applications today need tight initial frequency tolerance and low drift but increasingly small package size is important, especially in portable applications. New designs do not want the industry legacy 5 x 7 mm package. MtronPTI's M6053, M6055 and M6064 offer frequency stability down to ±0.2 ppm but in packages down to 2.5 x 2.0 mm - an area reduction of 7x over older 5 x 7 mm designs."
International Data Corporation (IDC), a global provider of market intelligence, advisory services, and events for the information technology, telecommunications and consumer technology markets, recently forecast smart phone shipments to surge 40% in 2013, topping 1 billion units for the first time (as reported by Forbes, 9/4/2013). With the growth of data-intensive wireless traffic the number of access points (femto cells and broadband Wi-Fi, WiMax) has grown about 1.5x each year since 2009 (source: StatCounter.com, mobile vs. desktop internet use, 5/2013). For growth to continue at that pace, costs need to come down while bandwidth needs increase as video becomes the primary use.
Mel continues, "Wireless access point makers look for low phase noise to increase bandwidth with a low bit error rate. Tight frequency stability is wanted since often the ambient temperature is uncontrolled (think an outdoor stadium or street pole). And they'd like that performance in a smaller size to help drive overall unit costs down. The smaller package sizes of our new TCXO families fit the bill perfectly."
The M6053, M6055 and M6064 TCXOs and companion M6054, M6056 and M6065 VCTCXOs are shipping now, available from 10 to 52 MHz, with a -40 °C to +85 °C operating range and in 5.0 x 3.2, 3.2 x 2.5 and 2.5 x 2.0 mm packages. RoHS compliant, MtronPTI TCXO/VCTCXO products are used in avionic flight control, point-to-point radio, broadband access base stations and professional wireless sound systems.

Notice of availability.
This document provides notice of the availability of a Class Deviation from EPA's assistance agreement dispute procedures and also sets forth the procedures that will apply to the resolution of competition-related disputes and disagreements that may arise in connection with the competition of EPA assistance agreements. Currently, assistance agreement competition-related disputes and disagreements are resolved in accordance with EPA assistance agreement dispute procedures that apply to financial assistance to institutions of higher education, hospitals, non-profit organizations, States, tribes, local governments and other eligible entities. EPA has determined, however, through a Class Deviation, that these procedures are not practicable to use for competition-related disputes and disagreements and that it is appropriate to replace those procedures with the procedures contained in this document. These new dispute resolution procedures will apply to competitive awards that are subject to applicable EPA assistance agreement procedures unless there are program specific statutory or regulatory dispute procedures that apply to such awards. The Class Deviation and this action only affect the dispute resolution procedures for assistance agreement competition-related disputes and disagreements.
These procedures are effective upon January 26, 2005.Start Further Info

This action sets forth the dispute resolution procedures based on the Class Deviation that are to be used in lieu of the dispute procedures contained in 40 CFR 30.63 and 40 CFR part 31, subpart F, 40 CFR 31.70 for the resolution of EPA assistance agreement competition-related disputes and disagreements. These procedures will ensure that applicants are provided with a meaningful and effective dispute resolution process for assistance agreement competition-related disputes and disagreements. The procedures provide that unsuccessful applicants will receive timely notification that EPA determined that their application or proposal was either ineligible for an award or was not selected for an award. Applicants may then, upon request, obtain a timely debriefing on the basis for the Agency's decision. Debriefings may be oral or written but are mandatory if the applicant intends to file a dispute in order to minimize misunderstandings between the Agency and the applicant and provide an opportunity to expeditiously resolve differences without the need to file a formal dispute. The applicant may file a formal dispute within 15 calendar days after the debriefing.
In addition to establishing a nationally consistent assistance agreement competition disputes process, the procedures in this document clarify roles and responsibilities and specify the circumstances in which applicants may dispute EPA decisions. Agency Officials must appoint a Grants Competition Disputes Decision Official (GCDDO) to resolve the dispute; the GCDDO cannot be involved in the decision that is the subject of the dispute. The GCDDO determines whether the issues raised in the dispute warrant delaying the competitive process until the dispute is resolved. These procedures also generally limit disputes to eligibility-type determinations made by EPA and generally do not allow an applicant to challenge a scoring or ranking determination, unless there is a compelling reason or an issue of national significance which would warrant EPA review of the dispute. The procedures also establish that the GCDDO's decision will constitute final agency action for the purposes of judicial review with no right to any further EPA review.
In addition, EPA headquarters and regional program offices may, with the approval of the EPA Grants Competition Advocate, adopt dispute resolution procedures that are "substantially the same" as the procedures contained in this document. Each EPA announcement for a competitive assistance agreement will either include or reference the applicable disputes procedure for that particular competition (if referenced, the announcement will indicate how applicants can obtain a copy of the dispute procedures).
Regulated Entities: The assistance agreement competition-related disputes procedures covered by this action apply to all entities which compete for competitive assistance agreement awards that are subject to the applicable EPA assistance agreement procedures found at 40 CFR parts 30, 31, and 35 unless the part 35 regulations contain specific dispute procedures that apply to such awards.
Background: The regulatory disputes resolution coverage currently found at 40 CFR 31.70 was initially codified in the CFR on September 30, 1983 at 40 CFR 30.303(b) and 40 CFR part 30, subpart L (1983). 48 FR 4506 (September 30, 1983). At that time, EPA changed the assistance agreement disputes process from an adversarial, trial type process before the EPA Board of Assistance Appeals, to a more informal system administered by Agency program managers. The preamble to the final rule described the 1983 changes to the disputes process as follows:
The new process will:
1. Encourage cooperation between the Agency's officials and those applying for and receiving assistance.
2. Develop a good administrative record to support the Agency's final decisions.
3. Provide applicants and recipients high-level review of Agency decisions and a forum for resolving disputes informally, expeditiously, and inexpensively.
4. Provide applicants and recipients a written decision explaining the basis for the position.Start Printed Page 3630
Fair and consistent dispute resolution remains a central principle of administering EPA's assistance programs. The procedures in subpart L continue to give recipients and applicants the right to request a high level review of decisions concerning issues arising under the EPA assistance programs. 48 FR at 45060.
These same disputes provisions and processes were included in EPA regulations found at 40 CFR parts 30 and 31 implementing the "common rules" for OMB Circular A-102 in 1988 and OMB Circular A-110 in 1996. 53 FR 8034, 8076 (March 11, 1988); 61 FR 6066, 6081 (February 15, 1996). The dispute provisions were moved from 40 CFR part 30, subpart L to 40 CFR part 31, subpart F, 40 CFR 31.70, when EPA implemented OMB Circular A-102 through 40 CFR part 31. The Agency's rule implementing OMB Circular A-110 incorporates the 40 CFR 31.70 disputes procedures at 40 CFR 30.63. However, neither OMB Circular A-102 nor A-110 contains government-wide assistance agreement dispute provisions.
Based on the language in the preamble discussed above referencing the applicability of the disputes process to applicants, EPA concluded that the assistance agreement disputes process would apply if an applicant for a competitively awarded agreement chose to dispute a decision that it was either ineligible to compete for the agreement or that its application was not selected for funding based on the merits of the proposal. Consequently, EPA's September 2002 Policy for Competition in Assistance Agreements provided that the Agency would follow the 40 CFR 31.70 process for disputes and disagreements related to EPA assistance agreement competitions.
Notwithstanding the statements in the 1983 preamble regarding assistance agreement applicants, the 40 CFR 31.70 disputes provisions are geared to effectively resolve cost allowability or assistance agreement administration disputes rather than competition-related disputes and disagreements that may arise in connection with the award of assistance agreements. This disputes process does not specify any time frame for an applicant to dispute a decision or for EPA to issue a final decision. It does not provide Agency selection and award officials with nationally consistent policies and procedures for the resolution of assistance agreement competition-related disputes or for determining whether the application/proposal evaluation and award process needs to be delayed when an applicant files a dispute. The process is time consuming, particularly since it includes two administrative appeal levels, and resource intensive for both EPA and aggrieved applicants and is not suitable for the resolution of competition-related disputes and disagreements.
In order to address these issues for assistance agreement competition-related disputes and disagreements, this action sets forth dispute resolution procedures that will provide applicants with a meaningful dispute resolution process that is better suited for competition-related disputes and disagreements than the 40 CFR part 30 and 40 CFR part 31, subpart F dispute procedures. Accordingly, pursuant to 40 CFR 31.6(d), the Director of the EPA Grants Administration Division has issued a Class Deviation approving the use of these procedures.
Statutory and Executive Order Reviews: Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this action is not a "significant regulatory action" and is therefore not subject to OMB review. Because this grant action is not subject to notice and comment requirements under the Administrative Procedures Act or any other statute, it is not subject to the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) or sections 202 and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1999 (UMRA) (Public Law 104-4). In addition, this action does not significantly or uniquely affect small governments. This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in Executive Order 13175 (63 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This action will not have federalism implications, as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999). This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, "Actions Concerning Regulations that Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use" (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001), because it is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866. This action does not involve technical standards; thus, the requirements of section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply. This action does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally provides that before certain actions may take affect, the agency promulgating the action must submit a report, which includes a copy of the action, to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. Since this final grant action contains legally binding requirements, it is subject to the Congressional Review Act, and EPA will submit this action in its report to Congress under the Act.Start List of Subjects

David J. O'Connor,
Acting Assistant Administrator for the Office of Administration and Resources Management.
EPA establishes assistance agreement competition-related dispute resolution procedures as follows:
1. The authority citation for the assistance agreement competition-related disputes resolution procedures in this document is the Federal Grant and Cooperative Agreement Act, 31 U.S.C. 6301(3).
2. The disputes resolution procedures that will apply to EPA assistance agreement competition-related disputes and disagreements will be referenced or included in competitive announcements and are as follows:
Dispute Resolution Procedures
a. Whenever practicable, disputes and disagreements relating to assistance agreement competition-related decisions and actions must be resolved at the lowest level possible.
b. The procedures and time frames specified below are designed to provide for an efficient, effective, and meaningful dispute resolution process. EPA Program Offices may use "substantially the same" dispute procedures as those specified herein if they are approved by the EPA Grants Competition Advocate (GCA) and provide applicants with a meaningful dispute resolution process. A meaningful dispute resolution process is one that affords unsuccessful applicants the opportunity for an effective remedy if they succeed on their dispute.
c. Notification: (1) The Program Office conducting the competition must provide applicants with timely written or e-mail notification that they were (i) determined to be ineligible for award consideration as a result of the threshold eligibility review of their application/proposal (e.g., the application/proposal failed to meet the threshold eligibility criteria in the announcement), or (ii) not selected for award based on their ranking/scoring after an evaluation of their application/ proposal against the ranking and Start Printed Page 3631selection factors in section V of the announcement.
(2) Notification of ineligibility must be provided by the Program Office to the applicant within fifteen calendar days of the decision finding that the applicant was not eligible for award consideration because of a failure to meet the threshold eligibility criteria in the announcement; notification to applicants that they were not selected for award based on the ranking/scoring of their proposal/application must be provided by the Program Office to the applicant within fifteen calendar days of the final selections for award.
(3) The notification letter or e-mail must indicate, as appropriate, that the applicant and/or its application/proposal was not eligible for award consideration based on the threshold eligibility review, or not selected for award based on the ranking/scoring of its application/proposal, and generally explain the reasons why. It must also advise the applicant that it may request a fuller debriefing (and notify the applicant that it must make its debriefing request within fifteen calendar days of receiving the notification letter or e-mail) of the basis for the ineligibility determination or selection decision. Debriefings, however, are not required when an applicant's proposal/application is rejected solely because it failed to meet a submission deadline date specified in section IV of the announcement (e.g., it was received, postmarked, etc., after the deadline established in the announcement making it a late proposal/application).
d. Debriefings: (1) Debriefings may be done orally (e.g., face to face, telephonically) or in writing at the discretion of the Program Office, although oral debriefings are strongly preferred because they provide a better opportunity to resolve questions and issues in an expedited manner. For oral debriefings, the Program Office will conduct the debriefing of the unsuccessful applicant at a mutually agreeable time and place as soon as practicable after receiving the debriefing request; for written debriefings, the Program Office will provide the unsuccessful applicant with a written debriefing as soon as practicable after receiving the debriefing request. All debriefings, but particularly those for applicants that were deemed ineligible for award consideration for failure to meet the threshold eligibility factors in the announcement, must be conducted in a timely manner so that the applicant has the opportunity to obtain a meaningful remedy if they successfully challenge the ineligibility determination.
(2) Upon receiving a debriefing request from an unsuccessful applicant, the Program Office must promptly notify the Director, Office of Grants and Debarment, or regional award official, as appropriate, so that a Grants Competition Dispute Decision Official (GCDDO) can be designated.
(3) The oral or written debriefing will be limited to explaining why the applicant was found ineligible for award consideration or why it was not selected for award and must not disclose any information protected from disclosure by applicable law or regulation (e.g., the Freedom of Information Act, Privacy Act), including trade secrets, privileged or confidential commercial, financial or other information exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, or the identity of review panel members or other reviewers. The Program Office should consult with Office of General Counsel/Office of Regional Counsel (OGC/ORC) attorneys before any oral debriefing and allow them to review any written debriefing response before it is sent. Further, any questions relating to what type of information may be disclosed at a debriefing must be directed to OGC/ORC attorneys or the Grants Competition Advocate.
(4) The debriefing explanation will, as appropriate:
(A) Identify the threshold eligibility criteria that the applicant failed to meet and specify the basis for the Agency's determination that the proposal/application or applicant was not eligible for award consideration because of failure to meet the threshold eligibility criteria.
(B) Provide the applicant with the numerical (e.g., points) or other basis for scoring/ranking its proposal/application under the evaluation criteria used in the competition.
(C) Provide the applicant with information on the strengths and weaknesses of its proposal/application in terms of the specific evaluation criteria used in the competition.
(D) Provide responses to relevant questions regarding whether the evaluation and selection procedures contained in the announcement were followed and why the applicant was not selected for award. However, the debriefing must not include point by point comparisons of the applicant's proposal/application to other proposals/applications.
(E) Identify the GCDDO.
e. Filing of a Dispute: (1) After receiving a debriefing, an unsuccessful applicant or their representative may file a written dispute with the appropriate GCDDO. When there was an oral debriefing, the written dispute must be received by the GCDDO within fifteen calendar days of the debriefing date; when there was a written debriefing, the written dispute must be received by the GCDDO within fifteen calendar days of when the applicant received the written debriefing letter. The written dispute must include a detailed statement of the legal and/or factual basis for the dispute, the remedy that the applicant is seeking, information on how to communicate with the applicant or its representative (e.g., phone and fax numbers, e-mail address), and any documentation relevant to the dispute. Disputes may only be filed with the GCDDO after a debriefing; disputes filed before, or in the absence of, a debriefing will be dismissed. Furthermore, the GCDDO is only required to consider disputes on the following grounds:
(A) Where an applicant challenges the EPA determination that it and/or its proposed project is ineligible for funding based on the applicable statute, regulation, or announcement requirements; or
(B) Where the applicant challenges the decision that it is not eligible for award consideration because EPA determined that its proposal/application did not meet the threshold eligibility requirements contained in the announcement.
(2) Unsuccessful applicants whose proposal/application was rejected solely because it was received late, or who were not selected for award based on the ranking/scoring of its proposal/application after a full evaluation by EPA based on the ranking and selection criteria in section V of the announcement (e.g., challenges to the Agency's technical evaluation or ranking/scoring of the applicant based on the ranking and selection factors in section V of the announcement), are not entitled to file disputes with the GCDDO. Such disputes will be dismissed by the GCDDO except as may be provided for in paragraph (3) below. In addition, the GCDDO may dismiss any dispute that is clearly untimely filed, raises issues that the GCDDO will not consider, or that fails to set forth a detailed statement of the legal and/or factual basis for the dispute.
(3) The GCDDO, for good cause shown and where there are compelling reasons, or where he/she determines that a dispute raises significant issues of widespread interest to the assistance agreement community, may consider an untimely filed dispute or any other dispute filed by an unsuccessful Start Printed Page 3632applicant. The GCDDO will invoke this discretion sparingly.
f. If a dispute is filed, the GCDDO must consult with the Program Office, OGC/ORC, and the GCA, and then determine whether it is in the Agency's best interest to delay the award process pending resolution of the dispute, particularly for disputes involving threshold eligibility issues.
g. Unsuccessful applicants must be provided with reasonable access to Agency records relevant to the dispute in a manner consistent with the standards contained in the Freedom of Information Act. EPA will not disclose materials exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.
h. Upon receiving a dispute, the GCDDO will establish a process and schedule for resolving the dispute and communicate this to the applicant and affected Program Office. At his or her discretion, the GCDDO may (i) request additional information from the applicant or Program Office and/or (ii) meet by phone or in person with the unsuccessful applicant and/or Program Office.
i. After reviewing all of the information relevant to the dispute, the GCDDO, after consultation with the GCA, and with the concurrence of the OGC/ORC, will timely issue a final written decision regarding the dispute. The GCDDO's decision will constitute final agency action and is not subject to further review within the Agency.End Supplemental Information

Re: item willed to individual
Answered By: pafalafa-ga on 12 Jun 2005 16:09 PDT
Leapinglizard is correct (as is often the case)...Digitine was the name of a nostrum that appears to have been sold locally in the Cumberland,Md. area, as evidenced by this ad from an 1894 edition of The Evening Times, which was then published in Cumberland, Md: http://home.ripway.com/2005-3/279856/digitine.bmp I wish the image were a bit clearer, but you should have no problem making out the two references to Digitine in the ad itself. Let me know if there is anything more I can do for you. pafalafa-ga search strategy -- searched historical newspaper files for [ digitine ]

You did good, I don't know how you found it but the individual that asked me to look who is a relative of the person who wrote the will, will just be thrilled that you found the answer. That was the correct will. I am a nurse, so my curosity was peaked also. Thank you for your time.

Increasing levels of competition, a soft property market and lower letting fees are putting 7,000 estate agents at risk, with over 150 firms becoming insolvent in 2017.
153 firms went insolvent in 2017, an increase on the figure of 148 registered in 2016 according to Moore Stephens, an accountancy firm.
Moore Stevens say that 7,000 estate agents "currently show signs of financial distress".
The fourth profit warning in eight months for Countrywide, the largest estate agent in the UK, combined with concerns about the firm's debt caused shares in the firm to fall by 25% last week.
Increasing competition from online agents such as Purplebricks and a downturn in London and the south-east have put pressure on Countrywide, which is also the parent of Hamptons, Bairstow Eves, Taylors and Gascoigne-Pees.
A London or south-east focus has affected other firms also, with Foxtons being one such example, having seen their profits drop by 65%.
The proposed ban on letting fees could also affect many agents as some firms are heavily exposed due to their current business models. The 20% fall in the number of property sales in the London area since 2014 and the 3% stamp duty surcharge on buy-to-lets have also contributed to the squeeze.
According to Chris Marsden of Moore Stephens:
"Insolvencies of high street estate agents are increasing as online competitors continue to chip away at their sales.
With the ban on letting fees stated to come into force in 2019, estate agents will struggle to pass those fees on to landlords."
Some areas in the UK are appear to have an excess capacity of estate agents, which could mean there is not enough business to spread around as property transactions stagnate."
