Optionsacalf Member Posts: 1:confuse: here it goes...Today I went to work at 7:00 a.m. and I was going up a small hill, when my car started smoking from the passenger side and it started getting heavy when I pressed the gas, so I put it back in Parking and then to Drive and it again smoked and wouldn't move. On the third attempt it did make it up the hill and I parked it. I told a coworker of my problem and he went outside to see the car, the coolant box was empty, it did not have any anti freeze at all, so he filled it up with water and he told me to turn it on. I did and a spark plug flew out of the side of the engine. It was broken. He went to buy 4 spark plugs to change them all (he said it was better to get all four of them new at the same time). He got three in but the fourth one he put it in wrong and he messed up the threads. Now I am left with a car that can not run because it is missing a spark plug. He told me I had to go to a mechanic that can thread the hole again and then put the spark plug in! Plus I should also ask the mechanic to check if the hoses of the coolant are not leaking and to ask the mechanic to make an evaluation of the car ( I'm not sure what he meant with "an evaluation").So he messed up my car more than what it was. I have to pay for a tow truck to tow my car to the mechanic and parts and labor of the spark plug. My big question. How much will this cost: I need an ESTIMATE, please!

Optionsd1726 Member Posts: 2I live in Nova Scotia, Canada.
I bought my 1998 Pontiac Sunfire 2.2L 4 door for $2,000 CAD in October 2006 with 194,000kms
Since then i had to have the alternator rebuilt ($300) and have the gas tank ($100 used) the fuel pump ($150 used) and the filler neck ($80 new) replaced. There are 212,000 on the car now. Am i going to have more problems???0 -
Optionsdweezledap Member Posts: 1I know this is an old post but thought I would add some helpful advice for new visitors.
1.) The instant your car started smoking you should have pulled of the road and shut her down and had it towed to a shop.
2.) If the spark plug blew out of the motor it was already stripped, and chances are your motor was already trashed. Don't be silly enough to blame a helpful individual. A spark plug flying out of a motor is a sure sign that things are very very very bad0 -

text: "From the glories of nature to the playfulness of sled dogs to the smile of a child, Scott Kennedy has journeyed all over the American and Canadian wilderness to discover there s no place like home. Beginning his artistic career capturing watercolor adventure in the wilds, he made a purposeful transition to acrylics to share the joys of camping, hiking, dog sledding, fishing and family. ""Acrylic colors can be layered so that they remind me of stained glass,"" he says, ""inspiring me to paint images that are more intimate as well as majestic."" Frequent childhood camping trips with his father instilled in him a reverence for the outdoors. Frequent lessons with his artist mother taught him line, color and perspective, starting at the age of three. He originally intended to work toward a dual major in wildlife biology and art at Colorado State University, but soon art proved the more attractive. He was not at a loss for subject matter, starting with his own experiences white water rafting and exploring the wild. His work reflected his love and understanding of both wild places and the creatures who inhabit themincluding the people who respect nature. Soon, however, the growth of his family and the inclusion of loyal pets brought Kennedy s attention down from the mountains and many collectors are devoted to his heartwarming portraits of frisky sled dogs as well as siblings learning from each other or their parents. Now Kennedy s art of both the great outdoors and the joys of home is collected in America and more than a dozen countries around the world. ""It s not only a pleasure for me,"" he says, ""but also an act of reverence to paint what I see around me."""

SMK Corporation, a multinational electro-mechanical component manufacturer headquartered in Tokyo Japan is to establish a new European Headquarters in Dublin.
Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton TD today (Thursday, April 9) announced that the Japanese company will create 11 jobs over three years.
SMK designs and produces a wide range of products for the electronics sector including connectors and switches, remote control units and touch screens. Demand for SMK products is driven by the requirements of a new generation of communications devices such as smart phones and tablets, as well as a proliferation of Pay TV Services and ever-increasing Electronic content in vehicles. The company works closely with clients in new product development and boasts many household name clients in these sectors.
SMK Electronics (Europe) Limited in Ireland will co-ordinate the activities of the company's sales and design operations in Europe and will employ seven people initially. The new European HQ will be located at Northwood Business Park and will be overseen by Mr. Paul Evans, Corporate Executive VP.
Originally from Dublin, Mr. Evans is a 30-year veteran of SMK and in 2006 was appointed SMK's first non-Japanese Vice President.
SMK was introduced to Ireland through ConnectIreland, the company responsible for delivering the Government's Succeed in Ireland initiative, as part of the Action Plan for Jobs, in association with IDA Ireland.
Welcoming the announcement, Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton TD said: "I am delighted that SMK has chosen Ireland as the location for its new European Headquarters. The availability of talent was a key consideration for the company and once again highlights the attractiveness of Ireland's well educated workforce to foreign direct investment. The announcement is another ConnectIreland project supported by my Department through IDA Ireland and is another example of how companies leading in their field are establishing in Ireland. I wish SMK every success for the future.
Paul Evans, Corporate Executive VP, SMK Corporation said: "We considered a number of locations for our new European Headquarters including Germany, England and the Netherlands. We chose Ireland because of the availability of highly skilled professionals and the business friendly environment. ConnectIreland's support enabled us to establish our new European HQ in Dublin far more quickly than we could have in any other location we considered.
"We expect to create seven jobs in Dublin and given the rapid growth of our business in Europe, we expect our Dublin HQ to play a central role in our expansion over the next 10 years. As our business in Europe grows, Dublin can expect to benefit from that growth".
Michael McLoughlin, ConnectIreland CEO, said: "We are delighted that as SMK Corporation celebrate 90 years in business this year that they have chosen Ireland as a strategic centre for their next phase of growth in Europe. The creation of seven financial and general management positions in the coming 12 months is very welcome and brings to over 1,100 the number of jobs created in Ireland through the Government's Succeed in Ireland initiative. We are delighted to have worked with SMK and wish them every success in Ireland as they continue to expand their workforce to 11 over the coming three years."

Billings at architecture firms accelerated to their strongest pace of growth since December 2010. As a leading economic indicator of construction activity, the Architecture Billings Index (ABI) reflects the approximate nine to twelve month lag time between architecture billings and construction spending. The American Institute of Architects (AIA) reported the October ABI score was 52.8, up from the mark of 51.6 in September. This score reflects an increase in demand for design services (any score above 50 indicates an increase in billings). The new projects inquiry index was 59.4, compared to a mark of 57.3 the previous month.
"With three straight monthly gains – and the past two being quite strong – it's beginning to look like demand for design services has turned the corner," said AIA Chief Economist, Kermit Baker, PhD, Hon. AIA. "With 2012 winding down on an upnote, and with the national elections finally behind us, there is a general sense of optimism. However, this is balanced by a tremendous amount of anxiety and uncertainty in the marketplace, which likely means that we'll have a few more bumps before we enter a full-blown expansion."
Key October ABI highlights:
• Regional averages: South (52.8), Northeast (52.6), West (51.8), Midwest (50.8)
• Sector index breakdown: multi-family residential (59.6), mixed practice (52.4), institutional (51.4), commercial / industrial (48.0)
• Project inquiries index: 59.4
The regional and sector categories are calculated as a 3-month moving average, whereas the index and inquiries are monthly numbers.
About the AIA Architecture Billings Index The Architecture Billings Index (ABI), produced by the AIA Economics & Market Research Group, is a leading economic indicator that provides an approximately nine to twelve month glimpse into the future of nonresidential construction spending activity. The diffusion indexes contained in the full report are derived from a monthly "Work-on-the-Boards" survey that is sent to a panel of AIA member-owned firms. Participants are asked whether their billings increased, decreased, or stayed the same in the month that just ended as compared to the prior month, and the results are then compiled into the ABI. These monthly results are also seasonally adjusted to allow for comparison to prior months. The monthly ABI index scores are centered around 50, with scores above 50 indicating an aggregate increase in billings, and scores below 50 indicating a decline. The regional and sector data are formulated using a three-month moving average. More information on the ABI and the analysis of its relationship to construction activity can be found in the White Paper Architecture Billings as a Leading Indicator of Construction: Analysis of the Relationship Between a Billings Index and Construction Spending on the AIA web site.

The deadline for grant applications passed on 15th December and we're going through the various projects now. Altogether the 11 projects, coming from all parts of the British Isles and Italy, are asking for over £50,000. They cover a wide period of history and types of research. For a little more detail, here are the applications we've received:
- Abergavenny Castle, Wales – a geophysical survey of the whole site. The castle was an important baronial site and saw a lot of military action from when it was first built in the 11th century up until it was slighted (partially demolished) in the Civil War.
- Bamburgh, England – assess and conserve a large collection of medieval metal work dating from the 8th to the 11th century discovered in the west ward. Bamburgh was a major elite fortress from the early medieval period so the project should help potentially understand how the site changed over the centuries.
- Caldicot Castle, Wales – geophysical of the whole scheduled area. Building on the previous resistivity survey in the project will use all three types of survey technique to get the best understanding of any below ground remains of this major baronial site.
- Castle Pulverbatch, England – geophysical and photogrammetric surveys of the site, one of the finest examples of a Norman motte-and-bailey castle in Shropshire.
- Clifford Castle, England – geophysical survey and excavations to help understand the morphology of one of the earliest castle sites in the UK, and one of the principal castles on the Anglo-Welsh border. Please note this is a privately owned site and not accessible to the general public.
- Dinas Bran, Wales – geophysical survey of the most extensive and complete Welsh-built castle to understand what structures lie beneath the surface.
- Edinburgh Castle, Scotland – mapping and categorising suspected conflict damage at this iconic castle.
- Fotheringhay, England – understanding the morphology of the caput of the honor of Huntingdon and 15th-century palace associated with the House of York and birthplace of Richard III, using ground penetrating radar and small unmanned aircraft. Please note this is a privately owned site and not accessible to the general public.
- Lathom House, England – analysis of masonry dating from the late 15th-century castle built by Thomas, Lord Stanley either found via excavations or potential reused in the current building.
- Lecce, Italy – to help with the publication of a history of the castle of Lecce which was founded by the Normans.
- Lough Key, Ireland – to improve understanding of the medieval MacDermot lordship of Moylurg and its relationship with the Rock of Lough Key.
The applications have been sent to our expert assessors who will go over them. You can see how the assessment process works from our blog back in January 2016.

The American Museum of Natural History in New York City quietly began removing a controversial statue of former President Theodore Roosevelt on Tuesday night in the final chapter of a saga that has stretched for nearly a year and a half. By Thursday, only scaffolding and tarp remained.
"The relocation of the Equestrian Statue from the front steps of the American Museum of Natural History began Tuesday," a museum spokesperson told NPR over email. "The process, conducted with historic preservation specialists and approved by multiple New York City agencies, will include restoration of the plaza in front of the Museum, which will continue through the spring."
The spokesperson added that such work is required to be conducted during nighttime hours for safety reasons and to minimize disruption to traffic and pedestrians. The statue will be stored in New York and prepared for long-haul shipping, and it is expected to be transported to North Dakota in the next few weeks (more on that below).
The bronze statue — officially named "Equestrian Statue of Theodore Roosevelt"— has towered outside the museum's entrance for some 80 years and became a source of local and national debate in recent years. It depicts the former New York governor and 26th U.S. president sitting on a horse, flanked by two shirtless, unnamed men. One is Native American and the other is of African descent.
The statue was commissioned in 1925 to stand on the museum's steps, since Roosevelt's father was one of its founders and Roosevelt himself was a "devoted naturalist and author of works on natural history," as the museum's website explains.
But it adds that the design itself "communicates a racial hierarchy that the Museum and members of the public have long found disturbing." Roosevelt's legacy — especially his views on race and support for the eugenics movement — has also come under wider scrutiny in recent years.
In 2017, a commission established by then-New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio evaluated the statue and several other controversial monuments on city-owned land. Members were divided on their recommendations, with half advocating for more research, half in favor of relocating the statue and several recommending that the museum keep the statue in place but add signage with more information and context. The city went with the third option.
While the museum went on to open an exhibit about the statue's history and contemporary reactions to it in 2019, the nationwide reckoning with racial injustice following the May 2020 murder of George Floyd made "abundantly clear that this approach is not sufficient," as officials put it in June of that year.
The protests brought renewed scrutiny to monuments depicting Confederate generals and other symbols of white supremacy across the country, many of which have since been removed.
The museum said in a statement that it had asked the city, which owns the statue, to remove it from their property.
De Blasio was quick to convey the city's support, telling NPR at the time that it was "the right decision and the right time to remove this problematic statue." (Notably, then-President Donald Trump publicly disagreed.)
Theodore Roosevelt IV, a museum trustee and great-grandson to the former president, also gave his blessing. Noting its long association with the Roosevelt family, the museum said at the time that it would remain the site of the state's memorial to the former president, and it would name its Hall of Biodiversity after him in honor of his conservation work.
A year later, in June 2021, the New York City Public Design Commission unanimously approved the relocation of the statue, saying it would finalize details in the coming months. In November, the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Foundation announced an agreement with the city for the "long-term loan and reconsideration" of the statue at its new presidential library, which is set to open in Medora, N.D., in 2026.
"The board of the TR Library believes the Equestrian Statue is problematic in its composition. Moreover, its current location denies passersby consent and context," it said in a statement. "The agreement with the City allows the TR Library to relocate the statue for storage while considering a display that would enable it to serve as an important tool to study the nation's past."
The library said that, with the support of Roosevelt family members, it will establish an advisory council composed of historians, scholars, artists and representatives from the Indigenous, Tribal and Black communities "to guide the recontextualization of the statue."

Public Intelligence got a hold of some interesting slides that Microsoft seems to present to law enforcement personnel. Microsoft explains the weaknesses in their privacy/security functions and how law enforcement et al. can leverage them best.
Here are some highlights:
A benefit to law enforcement of InPrivate is that website data for sites added to favorites will be left alone if a box remains ticked.
Not surprisingly, The Tor Project comes up in the presentation (because anyone using Tor must be doing something bad!!), associated with the user name 'bad guy'.
Common uses of the InPrivate mode include checking e-mail on public computers and "shopping for gifts" on family computers.
In a plea to not lose their law enforcement buddies because of the inclusion of these inconveniencing features, Microsoft says that they're not alone including private browsing functionality, ie. they were forced to do this because the competition was doing it (good job Firefox and Chrome).
Microsoft says that it's not all bad, BitLocker isn't available to any commoner, it "has a number of 'Recovery' scenarios that we can exploit", and that users are scared of encryption.
"We are the good guys!" Who are the bad guys then? The people using encryption/BitLocker?

For many people, 'tis the season for parties and celebrating. Frequently, it is also a time of year where you're hurry-up-and-waiting for baked goods to bake, or there's down time while you're visiting family, or there's no work getting done at your desk job since people took time off. Or you've just finished your holiday shopping and you're kicking back with a congratulatory cup of a winter beverage and your technology fix of choice. Your local community's contra organizers are likely to be taking a well-deserved break before New Year's, so what's a 'Net-savvy contra dancer to do?
- Doug Plummer takes really beautiful contra dance photos and he's even got a 2012 calendar featuring his photos for sale (about which Max Newman interviewed him for the Country Dance and Song Society blog)!
- Jeff Kaufman's blog has been cited around here a few times; while it's not 100% contra-related all the time, he regularly updates and frequently has some interesting thoughts on contra community and the like from the POV of a dancer, a caller, and a musician (and a few times he's posted some interesting commentary -- on stuff I've posted here and otherwise -- that has made me think).
- I stumbled on to Miriam and Clark Baker's pages back when someone posted a term I wasn't familiar with to the Glossary project a few weeks back. From what I gather, Clark was also one of the people who was in on Lisa Greenleaf's experiments with alternative music contra dancing in the 2000's. It focuses a lot on square dance, but in my Internet wanderings I'm seeing people finding interesting similarities between MWSD (especially patter calling) and alternative contras.
- Club Contras DJ Nu B has a recording of his November set up. (Note to self: find my way down to Greenwood, VA when he's spinning in 2012.)
- Contra Sonic's dJ improper also has a Mixcrate site, for those who haven't danced to his spinning yet (and those who have danced to his mixes in DC or elsewhere...).
- For those seeking a contra-ish Pandora fix -- as has been pointed out by several people, the only thing on Pandora that's contra is Wild Asparagus. While I love Wild Asparagus, there is a wealth of other contra stuff out there that isn't reflected in Pandora. Until this is remedied, Eileen Thorsos mentioned that she finds some of her electrotrad source music for her Electric Camel Contra mixes on Pandora, by searching for artists like Shooglenifty and Martyn Bennett (Perpetual e-Motion cites the latter as one of their inspirations).

Since we're coming up on the Olympic Games again soon, I thought I'd re-post this tutorial from the last Olympics. I hope you enjoy!
We're starting to get a little excited about the Olympics over here. We aren't a big sports family, but RD Husband has one sister who was an athlete in the Olympics in 1988 and another who has coached Olympic teams. So we have a soft spot for the games.
This necklace is easy and inexpensive to make. Here's what you'll need.
- Cord in 5 different colors: red, green, yellow, blue, and black. I used Chinese knotting cord in micro size G, which I ordered from here. You could also use crochet thread, embroidery thread, or embroidery floss, all of which are readily available at craft stores.
- 26 Gauge Wire
- G-S Hypo Cement, or another strong jewelry-type glue. Michaels carries Aleene's or E-6000, which both should work.
- 5 rings (I actually bought a cheap Claire's Accessories necklace and took it apart, but you can find these at Michaels in different sizes, too).
- A few binder clips
- Chain in desired length. I used about 17″, divided into two lengths of 8.5″. You could get something simple and inexpensive like this, or check out a jewelry supplier like Rio Grande or Fire Mountain Gems.
- Two jump rings and one clasp. (The clasp isn't pictured. Sorry!)
Most, if not all, of these things can be found at Michaels or JoAnn Fabric.
First step is covering your rings in the cord. You want to attach the cord with glue at the beginning, wrapping it a few times around.
Secure it by clipping a small binder clip over it and let it dry for about 15 minutes. You can prep all your rings this way, and by the time you are done with the last one, the first one should be dry enough to work with.
Now, wrap the cord around the ring, keeping it tight and each coil snug against the previous one. You don't want to see any metal through the wrapping.
In order to keep the right tension, you'll need to hold the parts you've already wrapped tightly while you wrap more.
Stop wrapping with about a quarter of an inch or so left to go.
Now, place more jewelry glue on the exposed metal, and then continue wrapping until you have covered the ring. Don't worry about the long ends of the cord just yet. Secure this section with your binder clip and let it dry.
You'll do this for each ring in each different color cord. Once they've dried (I let mine sit overnight just to be certain), you can clip the cords close to the ring. I chose a side I wanted to be the "back" and clipped them both on that side, so the edges wouldn't show. Although if you've glued enough, the edges will sort of blend together with the ring.
Once you have all your rings, it's time to lay them out in the correct pattern. Check online and look at images to get your order correct. Then, you are going to start wiring them together.
Cut a small length of wire, about 3″ long, and place it over one of the connections between rings.
Turn to the back, and twist the two wires together, like twist ties. You can use your fingers, or if you have needle nose pliers, those work well, too.
You'll twist until the connected wires are about 1/4″ long, and then snip the wires off. Fold them under and towards the rings so that they don't stick out, but keep them hidden in the back.
Once you get a few together, it'll look like this:
Make sure you are wiring them tightly together so that they keep their shape.
You'll want to make attachments at all these points:
When you're done, it'll look like this:

Where do I start when planning my perfect kitchen?
A good starting point when planning a new kitchen is to take a look at how your existing kitchen works and what improvements you would make.
- Is there adequate storage in your existing kitchen? How could this be planned to make best use of space.
- Is there enough worktop space. Where would it be placed ideally, next to the cooker?
- How to position the main appliances so they are close enough together when you are cooking so you don't move unnecessarily round the kitchen
- Are there enough electric sockets where you need them?
- Do you have to accommodate an eating space or breakfast bar for the kids to eat breakfast?
- What appliances do you need to accommodate. Do you want to upgrade a bigger American-style fridge freezer instead of a slimline fridge.
As professional kitchen designers in Epping, Red Barn Fine Furniture & Kitchens can manage every aspect of your new fitted kitchen installation, from the initial kitchen design, through to hand crafting each individual cabinet and installing them in your home, to implementing those all important finishing touches and interior design features.

I use them in every interior design job, they are always on schedule, excellent work and a lovely company to deal with, and I work recommend them highly.
Really High Quality Kitchen Company – Bespoke Kitchen Suppliers Epping
I cannot recommend Red Barn enough. I deliberated on choice of suppliers as my spec was so specific due to listed building, the kitchen had lots of quirks and angles that were hard to accommodate, however this did not phase them at all. We have since had all of our fitted furniture throughout the property done by them and would not go anywhere else. If you are looking for any job at high spec and bespoke don't go anywhere else.
Oak Kitchen Companies Epping
Had a kitchen-diner designed and build by Red Barn. My wife and I could not be more happy with the result; fantastic quality, installed quickly and with the minimum of fuss. Ricky and his team where really flexible as we changed our mind on a couple of minor details and their customer service was excellent. We would highly recommend them and plan to use them again for our fitted wardrobes.

My parents had a beautiful kitchen made and fitted by RedBarn and I was so impressed I decided to use them for my own kitchen.

The service was swift and he was always at the end of the phone or e-mail if I had any questions. Very high quality kitchen for a very competitive price. I would not think twice about recommending Red Barn to my friends and family.

One Second After (Kobo eBook)
A post-apocalyptic thriller of the after effects in the United States after a terrifying terrorist attack using electromagnetic pulse weapons.
New York Times best selling author William R. Forstchen now brings us a story which can be all too terrifyingly real...a story in which one man struggles to save his family and his small North Carolina town after America loses a war, in one second, a war that will send America back to the Dark Ages...A war based upon a weapon, an Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP). A weapon that may already be in the hands of our enemies.
Months before publication, One Second After has already been cited on the floor of Congress as a book all Americans should read, a book already being discussed in the corridors of the Pentagon as a truly realistic look at a weapon and its awesome power to destroy the entire United States, literally within one second. It is a weapon that the Wall Street Journal warns could shatter America. In the tradition of On the Beach, Fail Safe and Testament, this book, set in a typical American town, is a dire warning of what might be our future...and our end.

A Friend For Eternity...
This is the story of a famous leader named Joshua who had 80 disciples. All of them became good leaders.
One day, Joshua lifted up his heart and asked God what He had prepared for him in eternity. In a dream, Joshua heard a voice telling him, "You and Neres will be with me in Paradise and both of you will receive the same reward."
Joshua woke up upset, wondering how he could dedicate his whole life to the ministry of God and still get the same reward as a
butcher who had not fully dedicated his life to God. He called his 80 disciples to him and said to them, "Until I find this Neres, we will not gather neither for me to teach nor for us to discuss anything."
They began to search everywhere for this Neres until they discovered that there was a very poor man named Neres living in an extremely poor village. Joshua went to the nearest city in the village. All the multitude gathered with him and he asked them about Neres the butcher. "Why do you ask about this rustic and unknown man? He is nothing," they replied.
When they went to bring Neres, he said to them, "I think you misunderstood the message from Joshua. I am not the man. Who am I to be called for by the enlightened teacher and rabbi Joshua who filled Israel with his teachings." In the end, he refused to go with them.
Joshua was determined to meet him and when he heard that Neres refused to come with them, Joshua decided to go to him. As Joshua drew near the house, Neres saw him and hastily said to him, "Why do you want to see me, O crown of Israel?"
"I just want to know one thing, what kind of goodness do you do in your life?" Joshua asked.
"I don't do anything extraordinary," Neres replied. But Joshua insisted to find out the details of his life.
"I lead a normal life," said Neres. "I have my old, sick parents living here with me. I wash their feet and hands, dressing them. I find that I do this work joyfully and that I have the desire to serve them and give them all that they need."
When Joshua heard this, he bowed down before him. He kissed his forehead and said to him, "O blessed son Neres, blessed are your deeds and your life. How happy I am to be your company in paradise!"
This simple story may reflect how heaven weighs the deeds of people. The calculation of heaven is different from the calculation of this world. God wants us to be engaged in practical love. It is not the rank, the position, or the religious order that counts. None of them are nearly as important for our salvation as are honesty and love to Him.

We can start to fathom our roll in nature by embracing the greater scope of its most enigmatic principle, Love. We'll explore this essence outside the illusion of duality consciousness, which is the hallmark of human adventure through the immensely beautiful, but illusionary projection of time and space. Love doesn't begin inside this illusion where we feel the sensations of what we think Love is. It is the immeasurable force behind every expression within the whole of Life at any conceivable frequency. Using our best imagination to zoom back on creation, we still don't see the circumference of Love, which has no definition, only motion. It is forever blooming outward and inward, constructing, creating, evolving and breathing through every medium. It is the deepest and most pervasive abstraction behind all that is taking place in this moment. Love is simply the only true nature of anything. This inclusive scope of Love may not be what some believe is possible or initially feel very comfortable with, given the context in which Love is usually perceived. It might require one to become outrageous in their thinking, and that would be a good start; because Love is not at all logical, any more than Life, beauty or eternity. Each of these principles implies the other in an honest engagement with nature. Let's continue exploring nature through its most unpredictable and primary cause, which as Rumi reminds us, needs no cause.
Both light and shadow
are the dance of Love.
Love has no cause;
Love as a force in nature, is reflected in a design—a template for harmonic resonance that oscillates on endless octaves of frequency. As a great overriding force inside the circumference of Life itself, it remains directly unexplainable—yet by noticing a harmonic pattern behind the components of beauty, and how it connects every realm of nature, what is implied becomes obvious. Nature's template for design, which is deeply fascinating and easier to comprehend, bears all the evidence of its presence. Every tenant of beauty suggests something we cannot begin to define. Sound, color, shape, movement, orientation, fragrance, freshness, etc lure us in to a realm more rich and vital; romancing us in captive wonder and ecstasy. Imagine this window of sensory transcendence, widened to include almost everything we perceive around us; revealing a synchronicity and weave behind all time-space phenomena. This is where illumination blooms in humanity—through a realization that nothing in its own motion isn't beautiful within the symphony.
Zooming into a single expression of Life, on any event horizon, in any timeline of existence, and you witness Love—always in motion, becoming and expanding. The movement of Love is what is important to understand; because it can never be defined in a snapshot, anymore than a single day in one's life could tell their whole story, or a single measure of a song could render the complete message. Attempting to corral the whole principle of Love into a fragrant aesthetic that fits neatly into our comfort zones, completely reduces the unfathomable dynamic of its true scope. Imagine that Love requires a complete range of expression as its landscape for movement in this adventure through time and space. Imagine that, in this framework, it cannot be identified or captured, only enabled, which allows every circumstance and experience to be embraced exactly as it is—a continuum of change. Joy, sorrow, pleasure and pain are only the emotional register of its force, but Love itself is an actual design, permeating every spec of existence. It is the eternal promise of growth and new Life.
The true nature of Love is not a warranty for bliss and comfort. It is designed for evolution and its motion doesn't rest. It is easily the most insistent, intoxicating and inconvenient force in creation. When owned or boxed in, Love reaches out like a scorpion to sting our most hidden vulnerabilities until all pain and fear is spent. Resist love or hold it away and the whole organism begins to fade like a fallen leaf, disconnected from its source. As will become apparent on these pages in the literal sense, Love, like the Golden Mean, is a naturally occurring constant in all that exists; because it is the life in the motion of everything imaginable. The golden ratios, which are universal constructs for how beauty displays before us, apprehends our senses, and bridges one dimension to the another, are direct physical reflections of Love; which needs only to be surrendered to.
Increasing numbers of children actually seem to arrive here with direct memory of our true context, eager to remind us that Love has always been here in abundance and we needn't keep fearing it has, or could ever, escape us—which is quite impossible. Life in any presentation is a motion of Love, raging forward. Like every other force in the natural world, human nature is a dynamic process, where every spike of rebellion is absorbed into a rich harmonic chord of evolution, steadily, patiently and consciously—a true pageant of light. As fear recedes we naturally express unconditional Love, because it is the most naked display of our existence. Unlike fear, Love is not a reaction to something, but the original ground state of our being. It is something we don't need to manufacture or reach for, just unveil.
"Love does not have to be generated, for it is all that remains when there is no fear.."
Gregg Braden 'Awakening to Zero Point'
The time-space universe is defined by our own depth of perception, and is a mere reflection of something vast, beyond human comprehension. In this dimension, what we think we perceive around us is actually an illusion of opacity—a projection. How does one defy those limits and actually step into a reality, based on principles of light? We must enter the rabbit hole, the still point, the present—which has no dimensional boundary. We do this by surrendering all resistance to an ever-present force that naturally occurs. As stated, the scope of Love is immeasurable and all-inclusive. It moves, displays and manifests as a non-dualistic principle. Nothing we can perceive or feel is outside of its motion, unimaginable as that seems. Love's design is in the shape of growth and evolution—an eternal principle of Life in bloom, with an infinite range of expression. Love is not something that fits easily under our security blankets, where growth and evolution rarely occur. Love is the motion and the mean of constructive force behind the only miracle that has ever or will ever occur—Life. It is creation itself.
"Easy for you to say", says the ragged figure, staring quietly from a filthy doorway, trying not to move until the sun rises high enough to thaw his bones. He wouldn't be as gloriously authentic if he was polite. It can often seem inappropriate, unrealistic or inconsiderate to mention Love as a primary force in creation with so much homelessness, corruption and atrocity in our populations. The point here is to expand perspective on Love to include every dynamic in the wholeness of Life, which is energy (light) at its core, and consciousness, which is simply Life, aware of itself.
This an excerpt taken from the book "…and Love Rages on!", by Richard Layton Gannaway, published by Arcturian Gate.

Knowing the value of your business is vital should an unexpected buyer come along, and the timing is right for you to sell. You'll want to get the best price you can so make sure you have an accurate idea of your business's worth.
A business's value is taken from both tangible and intangible factors, with tangible assets a lot easier to assess.
Your business is worth what someone is prepared to pay for it – and what you'd be prepared to sell it for. Based on this fact, the only way to really value your business would be to put it on the market to see what a buyer may offer.
However, you'll want a ballpark figure of how much your business is worth, so you can be sure you're asking for and receiving, a fair price when you sell.
There are a few common methods used to value a business. They can give you a general idea of how much your business is worth plus a starting figure for negotiations.
An earning valuation method assumes that your business's true value is in its ability to create wealth in the future. You may find that using only one method isn't enough to come to a fair selling price – consider using a combination of the following methods.
Here, a valuator uses your business's past earnings to determine an expected level of cash flow. Unusual revenue and expenses are considered then a capitalization factor is multiplied against the expected normal cash flows.
The capitalization factor reflects the rate of return an average buyer would expect, plus it measures the risk of expected earnings not being achieved.
The only difference with discounted future earnings is that an average of the trend of predicted future earnings is used rather than your business's past earnings.
An asset-based valuation considers all the investments in your business. There are two approaches you can use to value your business using this method:
A going concern asset-based valuation will list your business's net balance sheet value of all its assets, subtracting the value of all its liabilities.
A liquidation asset-based valuation establishes the net cash that will be obtained if all your business's assets are sold and its liabilities paid.
A market value approach aims to compare your business to comparable businesses that have sold lately. For this method to work there will have to be other businesses like yours to compare with.
It's possible to reach different results with these valuation methods, so ideally get your business valued by more than one valuator.
Goodwill is a combination of all those intangibles that give your business greater value, such as:
Calculate the resale value of your business's fixed assets such as property, vehicles, office equipment and machinery. For some of these assets such as property, the value of them may increase over time. For others, like work vehicles, the value of them will decrease as time passes.
To ensure the values of your fixed assets are accurate, use depreciation to reduce their values annually.
Valuing your business accurately is critical if you don't want to risk leaving money on the table or losing potential buyers.
You'll have to take a good look at your market to get a clear idea of how similar businesses are performing and the prices they're selling for when put up for sale.
Have an idea of what kind of buyer you want to sell to. It's important to understand where the value lies in your business, so you can try to maximize its worth.
Take into consideration your method of valuation, the goodwill in your business, the resale value of your fixed assets and the current state of similar businesses selling on the market, to come to a fair value for the sale of your business.

XIRR is one of XLeratorDB's most popular financial functions. At Westclintech, we get more inquiries about XIRR than all of the other 200+ financial functions combined. To create a reliable version of XIRR for SQL Server we had to create, quite literally, millions of different test cases which were then tested against Excel.
One technique for creating test cases was to generate all the cash flows except the first one, then make the first cash flow equal and opposite in sign to the discounted cash flow value, or net present value, of all the other cash flows at some discount rate and check to if the internal rate of return, as calculated by the Excel XIRR function, is equal to the discount rate.
Mathematically that technique is absolutely sound, yet we discovered that Excel was not at all reliable in producing the expected result. In this article we share with you what we found.

Middle-market companies across the globe are significantly more optimistic about business conditions and opportunities than last year, according to the findings of the annual EY Growth Barometer released today at the EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year Forum. Growth prospects for all major economies are finally improving in 2018, with International Monetary Fund GDP forecasts currently at 3.9% for the year. Amid this positive background, business leaders are bullish about revenue growth.
The annual survey of 2,766 middle-market executives across 21 countries and nine key middle-market sectors reveals that global confidence in business growth has strengthened in the last 12 months. Sixty percent of companies are targeting growth between 6-10%, which compares with only 34% of companies having the same growth ambitions a year ago. A further 27% are targeting growth in excess of 10%, a marginal decrease from 2017, when 30% of companies were in this high growth band. What's more, 0% of respondents in 2018 expect a decline in growth, compared with 5% in 2017.
Middle-market company leaders are planning higher revenues, creating more full-time jobs and implementing disruptive technologies to meet ambitious growth targets. However, despite this optimism, they remain concerned that cash flow shortages, tightening credit or slowdown in global demand could pose significant risks in the longer term.
Annette Kimmitt, EY Global Growth Markets Leader, says:
"We are seeing a rare synchronization of growth across all major global economies that is boosting executive confidence, particularly led by the Asia-Pacific region. For the first time, middle-market company leaders are getting ahead of change and shaping their businesses through investment, expansion and prioritization to ride the wave of opportunity."
While middle-market companies are bullish on growth on a global scale, ambition is highest in Asia-Pacific, as the much-forecasted tilt from the West becomes a reality. Four in 10 companies in China, Southeast Asia and Australia are targeting double-digit growth, significantly outpacing the global average of 6%.
Intelligent automation and machine learning have moved center stage as vital enablers to ambitious middle-market growth. Attitudes toward new technology have evolved rapidly since last year. In 2017, 74% of global middle-market CEOs said they would never adopt robotic process automation (RPA), yet just 12 months later 73% of respondents say they are already adopting or planning to adopt artificial intelligence (AI) within two years.
Against this background, the EY Growth Barometer findings reveal that companies are recognizing the need to become more agile. However, in their eagerness to adopt revolutionary new technologies and incorporate AI into their businesses, company leaders are in danger of underestimating the scale of cyber threats, findings show. In fact, just 7% plan to invest in technology to reduce the risk of cyberattacks in the upcoming year, and only 6% see cyber threats as a challenge to growth.
This year regulation has emerged as a new force in stimulating innovation, not obstructing it. In a major shift in opinion, leaders from all sectors and regions, except in North America, regard regulation as a key driver of innovation (25%), topped only by profitability (27%). As governments use policy levers to accelerate social good (reduced sugar in carbonated drinks and less toxic pesticides, for example) company leaders are grasping these new opportunities in the market to innovate and grow, the EY Growth Barometer finds.
Industry convergence has risen as another major disruptive force to growth, with almost a quarter of global business leaders (23%) seeing it as second only to demographic shifts (33%) as having the most significant impact on business. Among US leaders, convergence is the top disruptive force to growth ambitions (31%).
Kimmitt says: "Successful and profitable responses to convergence favor the fast. Agile companies who can adjust their offering or business model to align with a shifting consumer environment are the ones who will thrive."
In a show of confidence that growth is sustainable, 39% of companies plan to hire more full-time talent in the next 12 months. This is a significant increase from 13% in 2017. Moreover, only 1% of respondents are seeking to reduce their staff, down from 9% in 2017. In fact, attracting talent with the right skills tops the list of growth accelerators – ahead of process efficiencies and new technology.
Diversity has shot to the top of the recruitment agenda, with 41% of respondents citing it as the greatest hiring priority compared with only 11% in 2017. The report findings indicate that there is a strong correlation between CEOs prioritizing diversity as a recruitment objective and those with the least diverse executive teams.
For those companies that have already built diverse executive leadership, the focus is on talent with strong digital skills, according to the EY Growth Barometer. Fifty-six percent of company leaders are looking to build digital competencies through new hires.
However, a lack of skilled talent is a major cause for concern, especially in those areas of the world where talent shortages have been exacerbated by skills flight, such as Brazil and Mexico. Even in the US, 20% of business leaders there consider this to be the greatest risk to growth. This represents an eight percentage point increase from 2017.
While access to credit continues to be an issue, this year company leaders cite insufficient cash flow as a more significant challenge, with 35% ranking it first. Cash flow and working capital challenges trump risks of both technological disruption and lack of skilled talent. The problem is most acute in Europe where it is ranked first by 37% of respondents led by French CEOs, half of whom (50%) place it as a leading concern. According to the EY Growth Barometer, there is a correlation this year between companies in higher growth bands and those that rank insufficient cash flow as a key risk to growth.
Meanwhile, women-led companies are significantly affected by a lack of funding, with 18% citing access to capital as a major barrier to growth, compared to 11% of their male-led peers. However, 30% of female-led companies are targeting growth rates of more than 15% in the next 12 months, compared with just 5% of male-led firms, even though more than half the women-led companies (52%) say they have no access to external funding.
Kimmitt, says: "The funding gap matters because companies with high-growth potential that do not secure early investment can have a harder time scaling-up, and much of the time, these companies are led by women. Financial support for women-led businesses represents a major challenge and only a handful of organizations around the world are focused on supporting the growth of women-led businesses."

At 5pm on September 9, 2005 Haitian Photo-Journalist Jean Ristil, working for the Associated Press, and Pacifica Radio journalist Kevin Pina were arrested, carried away by masked SWAT members of the Police Nationale d'Haiti (PNH). The police claimed they were searching for "weapons" at the church where 600 to 800 children are fed daily, but the journalists felt it likely that they were planting weapons in an attempt to frame the church's outspoken liberation theologian Father Jean-Juste.
Over the days following their arrest, activists and journalists mobilized for the freedom of the two journalists who had been placed into a tiny jail cell with seven other inmates. Organizations such as the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) spoke out against the arrest, while the Associated Press reported, "In a letter to Haiti's justice minister on Monday, the head of the Association of Haitian Journalists questioned the judge's decision to arrest Pina and Ristil." On September 12, 2005 Ristil and Pina were released. Following his release Ristil continued on with his work photographing and documenting the repression and violence against his community in Cité Soleil while continuing to work with children in his community. In November of the same year he would be arrested again, this time undergoing torture at the hands of the interim government's police. Ristil is one of the few, possibly the only, photojournalist to live and work within Cité Soleil on a daily basis.
Your illegal arrest by the PNH in 2005 made international news. Tell us about what happened?
I was first arrested on September 9, 2005 and held until September 12, 2005. The second time, I was arrested in November of 2005 upon the order of the Central Headquarters of the Judicial Police (DCPJ). Well I was arrested twice, both for filming and photographing the results of a MINUSTAH massacre and for filming the PNH attempting to plant weapons at the church of Father Jean-Juste. The first time I was arrested after I filmed them arresting another journalist, Kevin Pina. But following my release the PNH and MINUSTAH came after me. After they knew I had footage and photographs from Cité Soleil showing the results of their operations they came after me. They wanted no one to see the images of the people they had murdered and killed in Cite Soleil. When I was arrested again in November PNH officers threw me on the ground after picking me up by my arms handcuffed behind my back. They grabbed me from the street and threw me in a car. They destroyed my motorcycle with a gun burst of six shots and they broke all my cell phones. Today I cannot afford to fix my motorcycle. I received all these problems for the images I took of the 2005 July 6th massacre by MINUSTAH. At one point they offered me money so I would not release them to the public. They made a big effort to stop the release of these photos. They tortured and interrogated me.
Tell us about your home, Cité Soleil.
Ristil: These people living in Cité Soleil had jobs before the coup; some had 5 or 6 kids who they could pay for school. Each person with a job helped benefit 20 or 30 people around him. But after the coup these people were cut off, they had no more money. No money for his home, no money for his family. So when he could not pay for his family to live, he had another idea. Before these people would get 5,000 gourdes a month they could take care of their family, mother, father, kids. This is the reason of the Chimeres. The society is corrupt because the state and church are failures they do nothing for the people. A MINUSTAH tank can cost several million dollars. If you did social work with this money you could change the situation of Cité Soleil. When Aristide was President it was better because people were working and all those who were not working still had help. They had potable water. People had access to food. Many handicapped people got food and a fund each month. Now things are horrible. For 100 gourdes people get sexual relations. People have no money making it difficult to live. They destroyed our lives. Many children have no fathers now.
Dread Wilme said before he died that Labanyè, another of the gang leader's in Cité Soleil, "was doing the work of Andy Apaid and Charles Henri Baker" coming out to shoot at demonstrations, etc.
Jean Ristil: Yes. The American soldiers when they first arrived after the coup tried to bring about disarmament. They took away weapons from many people in Cité Soleil. But after this had happened the bourgeois sector immediately began financing several groups in Cité Soleil, such as Labanye and his partisans. On September 30, 2004 Labanye killed several peaceful Lavalas demonstrators. His partisans and the PNH would attack peaceful demonstrations. For all his crimes Labanye was given a police uniform. This sector made the violence. They gave big guns to Labanye's partisans who went on to destroy many homes. They targeted Lavalas organizing as well, shooting up local centers. Labanye worked for the bourgeoisie he did many crimes against the population in Cité Soleil. So the population killed him. The people of Cité Soleil now got a break from the repression of Labanye. Gerald Latortue answered that he was very sorry for the death of Labanye, Latortue saw Labanye as a good militant in Cité Soleil. I have the courage to say that the United States and Canadian embassies are accomplices in the verbal violence done to Cité Soleil they have provided exile to Labanye's partisans. After Labanye's death the PNH and MINUSTAH reacted with violence. This eventually transpired in the death of Dread Wilme. MINUSTAH looked for Dread Wilme's body but they could not find it. His body will always be in Cité Soleil . He died but his memory lives on in Cité Soleil as a good memory.
How can peace be achieved?
First of all Preval has to end the mandate on wanted people in Cité Soleil. They could not go to recent presentations for peace that were made. Money should be spent on social work instead of MINUSTAH assaults upon Cité Soleil. The community needs back the jobs and programs that aided it. MINUSTAH must stop its assaults into Cité Soleil.

Every Once in a while, we get to know something very unique, something in a league of its own, something that would truly define the very meaning it symbolizes. It has been in production for the past 3 decades, surpassing and outclassing every other bike the world had to offer in terms of both luxury and performance. The name in itself has turned it into an icon of modern times. The bike that changed the way people look at bikes, forever. Honda's most innovative bike yet, The Goldwing.
Introduced in 1975, this very bike carved a niche for its own self, by the time it was launched. No one would have thought it would turn out to be a true icon of a motorcycle that it now is. Widely known for being the first to introduce car-like features, the Goldwing specialized in presenting the limitless potential of what can be done on a bike. It offered features that were not present even in cars of its time, let alone bikes, and continues to do so to this very day. At the time of its launch, it was among the first bikes on the world to offer water cooling, fuel pumps, and shaft drives. It even had the first transmission system that was placed underneath the engine rather than behind which was more of the same used in production cars. Today however, it features weather tracking systems, satellite radio, and a whole bunch of features that would put any standard car to shame.
It began as a prototype, in 1974, which Honda designed to show the world what the company was capable of. The bikes technical wizardry created such an interest among the public that Honda decided to enter it into production. And so the world witnessed what would be, the birth of a legend. It was initially launched as a touring motorcycle, and christened GL1000. Soon after the bike became popular, there was a large demand for aftermarket accessories, like fairings and luggage holders (since it was a touring bike). It took a while for Honda to recognize this trend as a profitable market but when they did so, they launched the GL1100, in 1981, fully featured with a trunk, Saddlebags and frontal fairing. It was the first production bike in the world to feature an adjustable air suspension. All of these features contributed into making this bike an instant success.
In 1983, Honda decided to upgrade the GL1100 and hence introduced new features such as an LCD dashboard, anti-dive forks and linked front and rear brakes. This was soon followed by the GL1200, in 1984, which had an all new engine with Fuel Injection along with amazing features such as an auto leveling rear air suspension, a driver-passenger intercom system (which used a pair of headsets with microphones), cruise control and a Panasonic Audio system with rear speakers.
This model was sold until the year 1988 when Honda unveiled the revolutionary new GL1500. This bike in particular was so ahead of its time that it completely outsmarted the competition and caused the withdrawal of several major players in the segment including Suzuki, Yamaha and Kawasaki each of whom had a distinctive product that rivalled the Goldwing, Honda's brand loyalty and innovation were of no match for the competition and hence the withdrawal.
The major changes that were evident in the GL1500 were numerous, the most important of which was the layout of the engine which was changed from a flat four cylinder layout to a flat six cylinder layout. This change, increased power and reduced noise which resulted in better rider comfort. Another major innovation was the introduction of a reverse gear. Since the bike weighed in excess of 400 kilos, Honda engineers foresaw the need for a system that would assist a rider in backing up without calling for help. The bike was more ergonomically designed for both passenger and rider and hence more comfortable.
The GL1500 continued to be sold for 13 years up until 2001, when, the revolutionary all new version was launched. This would turn out to be the most advanced and luxurious Goldwing Honda has ever produced. The 2001 version was launched amid high levels of expectation as there were no major updates undertaken to the 1988 version of the Goldwing. In effect the launch of the 2001 version signified a bike that implemented everything that Honda had learned over the years from the launch of the first Goldwing back in 1975. The project was kept as a top secret and nothing about it was known among the public as security was kept tight. It was finally launched the same year with rave reviews and the usual feature list that spanned the length of the the bike itself.
The most prolific change was with the engine whose already mammoth displacement of 1500cc was increased to 1800cc along with fuel injection. This newer bike was actually lighter than the outgoing model largely due to the use of aluminium and other modern lightweight materials. Another major change was the introduction of the ABS system which not only increased safety, but also ushered a new level of rider confidence. Honda continued updating this model and in 2004 it sent waves across the motoring industry with the launch of the first ever airbag integrated onto a production motorcycle.
The Goldwing offered the airbag as an option along with standard and other optional features such as, LCD display with Satellite Navigation system, Live weather forecasting system, Traffic Information system, Voice control and prompting, Heated grips, seats and backrests with individual controls for passenger and rider, Foot warming system that channels engine bay air onto the foot of the rider with the flick of a switch, 80 watt per channel audio system with an optional 6 CD changer and a total of 6 Speakers, Electronic cruise control, Electronic reverse gear, Adjustable front windscreen, 147 litres of storage space, remote controlled trunk opener with horn actuated bike locator, CB radio that allows communication between passenger and rider with the use of a headset, Self adjustable headlight level, Large 33 litre fuel tank, Computer controlled rear suspension system, Fully illuminated handlebar and control surfaces, Tire pressure monitoring system and an endless accessories list. This bike was an undoubted success which to this day carries on the very legacy it created of being the Ultimate tourer on the road.
On the whole this machine has been to the Bike world what Rolls Royce has been to the car world, the innovations implemented on this bike were in a league of its own, Its loyal followers swear by it as being the most reliable touring bike that's on the roads today. Honda's timeless engineering and innovation coupled with unrivaled levels of customer satisfaction has created nothing short of a masterpiece. The Honda Goldwing – Luxury, safety, comfort, convenience and performance combine together to provide an experience that's like nothing else On Two Wheels.
