Since THC doesn't stay long in blood, that manner of testing isn't that popular anymore. THC is famous for its hydrophobic' properties. As THC is discovered to get accumulated in the fatty tissues of the human body, it can take more time to be eliminated by the computer system.
The Basics of How Long Is Weed in Your System
If you just utilize marijuana rarely, then it's unlikely that it's going to be detectable after 7 days. Actually, using organic herbs is a practice that has existed for thousands of years. Even though a high from smoking is practically instant, edibles take quite somewhat longer, several hours normally, to clearly show their effects.

How Long Is Weed in Your System Features
As stated above, the whole period of marijuana presence in the system depends on a selection of factors. After a single usage, for instance, the weed stays in your system for 3 days typically. Thus, marijuana tends to remain in the system for longer periods in people who aren't healthy.
The end result is you will urinate a good deal and still offer a crystal clear sample that won't likely have illegal substances.

Che Ahn: "It's Time for Bob Jones' Prophesied Billion-Soul Harvest"0 Comments Published by Office 2 March 30th, 2016 in Christian Church Issues, Christianity, Gospel, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Kingdom of God, Miraculous Testimonies, Prayer, Revival, United States of America, World News
Che Ahn : Feb 16, 2016 : Charisma News
Bob Jones was a crusty, eccentric prophet.
Well before he passed away on Valentine's Day 2014, Bob gave a prophetic word sharing three signs that would take place before the arrival of a Billion-Soul Harvest.
Back in 1983 in Kansas City, he prophesied:
- that in America a "morning-after pill" would be invented,
- that America would legalize same-sex marriage (which was unthinkable at the time), and
- that a watch would be invented that the laborers working in the rice paddies in China could wear and listen to worship music.
Right now we are in a prophetically unprecedented season, as the second and third signs in Bob's prophecy took place just last year—most notably with the advent of the Apple Watch.
In this historic season, it's perfectly clear to me that we are in a time of global harvest.
"You know the saying, 'Four months between planting and harvest.' But I say, wake up and look around. The fields are already ripe for harvest" (John 4:35, NLT).
Just look at Asia as an example and you'll find that the Gospel is exploding all around the world.
According to a recent article in Christianity Today, there are an estimated 106 million Believers in China today (that's more than in the United States!). In Indonesia—the largest Muslim nation in the world—40% are now born-again Christ followers.
I have also been hearing about revival breaking out in Iraq and how Iraqi Christians are immigrating to the U.S. to escape the intense persecution in their homeland. The Holy Spirit is moving powerfully in the Middle East!
And this is just the beginning.
What does a Billion-Soul Harvest look like? I believe it begins with prayer.
Just two months from now, on April 9 the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum will become ground zero for a massive gathering of…

Old Oswestry
is built on a huge scale (around 40 acres), with massive earthwork ramparts and salients. Excavations have failed to unlock its mysteries and so there is a quite unique atmosphere.
It is reputed to have been occupied by the

There are two entrances, one in the east and one in the west and as in the story the latter is heavily fortified. It also is the one with a series of deep rectangular hollows the function of which is not understood.

Tyre Tips - Light Commercial Vans, Trucks and
Tip 4 - Inflation Pressures
Have you ever thought of what you are asking of those two new tyres
you just put on the front of your truck?
So you'd like to see them deliver, say, around 120,000 kilometers
on the steer, then maybe run them out on the trailer with a couple
of caps for another modest 80,000 kilometers each. No worries mate!!
But just think what these tyre have to endure to achieve these
expectations before you throw them away, because make no bones about
it, truck tyres will eventually die through fatigue. Would you
believe that the average 11R22.5 steer tyre will complete around 38
million rotations during those above first life 120,000 kilometers?
Then two caps on the trailer position will contribute another
160,000 kilometers or 50 million revolutions to the total. Thus a
massive 88 million times each part of the tyre has to hit the road,
deflect under load through the footprint, and resume its normal
diameter out the other side!
Now consider the performance of your deep tread drive tyres.
175,000 kilometers sound reasonable? Work on approx. 50 million
revolutions in its first life alone. Why not give the tyre a break
when recapping, and request a shallow cap on it as it continues to
spin it's way to a huge number of flex reversals. You could do
yourself a favour and place the tyre in alternative applications,
i.e. urban work, as it approaches it's hard to predict end of
working life. That way you won't get caught somewhere between Sydney
and Melbourne wondering why this goddam tyre has failed --- and
after only three caps, too!
This end of working life fatigue condition is hard to predict
since it depends on a number of factors, not only on rotations. The
state of the road, heat, inflation, all contribute. Ever wonder why
a jumbo airliner tyre can accommodate up to ten retreads? Because
the tyre casing does very little work. These airliners do
comparatively few kilometers on the ground, but obviously scrub the
tread rather prodigiously each time they land. So the tyre casing
completes relatively few revolutions and can handle a multiple
number of retreads. Surprisingly, the taxiing of the aircraft with
it's attendent heat build-up has more affect on the tyre casing than
the actual landing.
Tyre designers try to minimise the flex, or deflection, of a
truck tyre to achieve a high fatigue capability. Obviously there is
a compromise here, since ride and comfort factors, impact damage,
etc., need to be taken into account. They calculate around this
deflection figure to achieve the ideal contact patch and obtain
optimum treadwear, braking and handling performance. This is where
inflation pressures become important to maintain the tyre deflection
within these design parameters.
Just remind yourself that it is not the tyre that carries the
load, but the air inside it. Remember, a tyre is basically a
flexible air container, and without air it cannot hold it's shape
let alone carry any load. So it is imperative that the correct
inflation pressure is in the tyre to match the load it is carrying.
Too little pressure will lead to over deflection of the tyre, which
makes the tyre run hotter and may cause premature tyre failure. The
service life of the tyre is shortened roughly in proportion to the
reduction in inflation pressure, (Rule of thumb --- a tyre reduced
by 20 percent below the recommended inflation figure equals 20
percent reduction in service life). Higher rolling resistance is
generated with under-inflated tyres, which leads to increased fuel
consumption. Lastly, irregular tread wear can be produced by reduced
Over inflation of tyres can also lead to difficulties such as
increased impact damage potential, as well as irregular treadwear.
Of course, other factors may come into play in choosing your
ideal inflation pressures. Factors such as stability, wear
characteristics, operational conditions, etc. We recommend that once
these ideal inflation pressures are established, high mileage fleets
should be checked regularly each fortnight or so with a reliable
tyre gauge (not with a boot!). Missing valve caps and leaky valves
should be replaced immediately. And if you can't reach the inside
dual valve to check it, don't ignore it, organise some valve

Everest is an informational website about George Mallory and Sandy Irvine, the first men rumored to have summited Mount Everest. Their achievement is disputed, as the men went missing around the time they were supposed to have pushed for the summit. The website leads you up along the route that the men had taken before they vanished. The site was created in HTML 5 and CSS Creative Cloud. The page starts at the bottom of the mountain so the viewers have to climb up through the site.

There times in all of our lives when we have read, heard, or witnessed when someone stood up for another. The notion of standing up for another connotes one honoring, protecting or defending another from attack. Attacks can be verbal, written or physical. Try talking about the mother of an adolescent male and watch how he stands up to honor his mother. Try bothering the son or daughter of a parent and watch how they stand up for their children. Is there a situation where you had stood up for another? In our passage today, we hear Leave Her Alone: When Jesus Stood Up for Mary.
Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 Here a dinner was given in Jesus' honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. 3 Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus' feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
4 But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected, 5 "Why wasn't this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year's wages." 6 He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it.
7 "Leave her alone," Jesus replied. "It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial. 8 You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me."
There are other instances in the bible when Jesus stood up for others. Remember when Jesus stood up for the children who were brought to Him? Remember when Jesus stood up for the honor of God's house. If not, read the following passages: Matthew 19:13-15; Mark 10:13-16; Luke 18:15-17; Matthew 21:13. I am sure that you might be able to find others. The point was to identify times where Jesus stood up. In those passages and John 12, I see one common thread about when Jesus stands up – when it is about God or the work of God.
There are numerous of times where Jesus was under attack, but you never saw Him stand up for Himself. This is heightened when He stood accused before Pilate on the way to the cross. Jesus could have stood up for Himself when He was accused, but He said nothing. Jesus could have stood up for Himself when the people and soldiers mocked Him at the cross, but He said nothing. Jesus could have stood up for Himself when the other two men who were crucified with Him hurled insults at him, but He said nothing in defense of Himself.
Today's text provides insight into what motivated Jesus to say Leave Her Alone: When Jesus Stood Up for Mary. In the passage, Mary pours a very expensive perfume on Jesus. Judas contended pretentiously for the poor, but Jesus saw through that just as He saw Mary's act as a means to truly honor Him. Listen to what Jesus said again, 7 "Leave her alone," Jesus replied. "It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial. 8 You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me." Jesus stood up for Mary because she was fulfilling God's will for Him. Mary had no idea that Jesus was going to die soon. Mary had no idea why she had been saving her perfume, but God orchestrated all of those events to bring about His will. Jesus stood up for Mary because she was doing God's will, and she was honoring Him.
Do you want Jesus to stand up for you? Honor God by doing His will and Jesus will stand up for you. Mary did not even ask Jesus to defend her. He just did. We have a God who sees when we are under attack. We have a God who is intimately aware of experiencing defenselessness even though He was capable of defending Himself. He just chose not to. Why? He was doing God's will which lead to our redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Had Jesus not died, rose and ascended to the right hand of God, we all would be without hope in terms of experiencing the consequences of our sins. We would have no defense against the power of sin in our lives, but for those who know Jesus as Savior and Lord, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1).
Leave Her Alone: When Jesus Stood Up for Mary is a reminder to us that Jesus will stand up for us when we are honoring God by being obedient to His will. Feeling picked on and defenseless? Call upon Jesus for He cares for you. Our memory verse for the week, Psalm 9:9-10, captures the essences of why Jesus stands up for those who love Him.
Psalm 9:9-10
9 The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble.
10 Those who know your name trust in you,
for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.
Jesus did not forsake Mary. He will not for sake you, those who seek Him.

If you were a fan of the UK Drama Top Boy before the series was canceled after its second season, you're about to really appreciate Drake.
Drake confirmed rumors that he will revive the British TV drama and that the third season will air as a Netflix original in 2019 — six years since the series was originally canceled.
Top Boy depicts drug, crime and street life in Hackney, East London, and the reboot will take place with Dushane returning from exile to London to reclaim his superiority in the drug world. The original cast and creative team will be returning for the reboot as well.
"I am delighted to be reunited once more with the Top Boy team – our wonderful cast and my partners at Cowboy Films – and to have Drake and SpringHill as new collaborators," said Ronan Bennett, writer and creator of the series. "And I could not be prouder to be doing the show with Netflix."
Drake said via The Hollywood Reporter that he purchased the rights to the series and has been a longtime fan of the show. He will be working as an executive producer alongside Adel "Future" Nur.
"We couldn't be more excited for Netflix members around the world and a new generation of fans to discover the authentic, raw and real world of Top Boy," said Cindy Holland, Vice President, Original Content for Netflix. "Drake came to us several months ago with a passion to help bring this series back to life, and we're thrilled to support the original creative team to do just that."
The first two seasons originally aired on channel 4 in the UK but both seasons are currently available to stream on Netflix. The third season will premiere as a Netflix original.

Carmela Menashe, Kol Israel's military correspondent, was born in Iraq in 1949. She immigrated to Israel in 1951and grew up in Nahalat Yizthak, Ramat Gan and Givatayim. At the age of 18 she joined the IDF and served at the Nahal's 50th battalion.
Upon her release she started working for Kol Israel. Alongside her work as a secretary in the technical department, she obtained her M.A. with distinction from the Tel-Aviv University. Following an editing and reporting course in Kol Israel she embarked on her journalistic career. She became editor of "Eretz Hemdat" and reporter for the daily program "Kol Zivei Hareshet" and the weekly magazine "Hatur Hashvui".
In 1981 she started her work with the news unit, and two years later she was appointed correspondent for police and criminal matters, and was the first woman in Israel to fill this position. In 1988 she was made military correspondent and was the first woman on the radio in a role that was thus far considered suitable for men only. She also edited and presented the program "Leyeter Bitahon" and was chairperson of the military correspondents' unit at the Journalists' Association, as well as research reporter in the television program "Mabat Sheni".
During all these years she covered the activities of the IDF in depth and followed the decision-making processes at the General Staff, the Ministry of Defense and the military industries, aiming to exercise the public's right to know and to deepen the flow of information and its transparency. She reported from the scene during the two Intifadas, the Gulf War, the whole period leading to the IDF's withdrawal from Lebanon as well as the Second Lebanon War and Operation "Cast Lead". Her reports raised issues such as the honor of people in uniform, and her exposures lead to changes in legislature, orders and norms. For this reason she became the obvious person to turn to when soldiers and their families came across failures, mistakes and wrongdoings by the military system.
Her work won her many awards, among them the Sokolov Award, the Israel Broadcasting Authority's Ilan Roe Award presented by the CEO, the "Ometz" award and an award by the Movement for Quality Government in Israel.

Got off to a late start this morning and didn't make it on the road until about 9:40am. Still had a good run, I think the route I mapped out was slightly less than 8k and I finished in about 54mins. Pretty slow but it's still only the second week of training :) Was great running by the bay, I almost forgot how beautiful nature was living in the city! Here's a couple pics :)
I also am sneaking in a pic of a purse I just bought at Spring which I am absolutely in love with! I'm loving the 90s vibe lately and it was on sale for only $20!

France at Glance
France is one of the biggest countries in Europe and one of the founding members of the European Union. France has a population of about 60 million inhabitants, which means that they are the 20th most populated country in the world. The French economy is very large, ranking number seven in the world. This is mainly due to the very high GDP per capita, which means that the living standard of Frenchmen is very high. A negative aspect of the French economy is the quite low economic activity rate and a quite high unemployment rate.
French people have a life expectancy of almost 80 years, which is very high. Some argue that this also has something to do with the French red wine. At least, this statement is a good excuse for everybody who likes to enjoy a glass of wine. Another reason for the high life expectancy may be the quite low AIDS rate. Also the greenhouse gas emissions are quite low on a per capita basis. The school life expectancy is very long in France, while the tertiary education enrollment rate is not that good.
France is the second largest economy in Europe and the fifth largest in the world, with an estimated GDP of US$ 2.74 trillion in 2013 (IMF). With 65 million residents, France ranks second in Europe for consumer market, and has direct free access to the European market, the world's most important consumer market.

Mainland France is located in Western Europe. France is a vast country with a variety of landscapes. The country's overseas territories in South America, the Caribbean, and the Indian Ocean differ vastly in physical features. Mainland France lies between the Mediterranean Sea to the southeast and the Bay of Biscay and English Channel to the north and west. Paris is the capital city of France. Covering a total area of 211,209 square miles, France is the largest of the European Union members. From coastal plains in the north and west to mountain ranges of the Alps in the south-east, the Massif Central in the south-central and Pyrenees in the south-west, France encompasses a variety of landscapes.
France is about 80% the size of Texas. In the Alps near the Italian and Swiss borders is western Europe's highest point—Mont Blanc (15,781 ft; 4,810 m). The forest-covered Vosges Mountains are in the northeast, and the Pyrénées are along the Spanish border. Except for extreme northern France, the country may be described as four river basins and a plateau. Three of the streams flow west—the Seine into the English Channel, the Loire into the Atlantic, and the Garonne into the Bay of Biscay. The Rhône flows south into the Mediterranean. For about 100 mi (161 km), the Rhine is France's eastern border. In the Mediterranean, about 115 mi (185 km) east-southeast of Nice, is the island of Corsica (3,367 sq mi; 8,721 sq km).
For detailed information please visit : Geography of France
Three types of climate may be found within France: oceanic, continental, and Mediterranean. The oceanic climate, prevailing in the western parts of the country, is one of small temperature range, ample rainfall, cool summers, and cool but seldom very cold winters. The continental (transition) type of climate, found over much of eastern and central France, adjoining its long common boundary with west-central Europe, is characterized by warmer summers and colder winters than areas farther west; rainfall is ample, and winters tend to be snowy, especially in the higher areas. The Mediterranean climate, widespread throughout the south of France (except in the mountainous southwest), is one of cool winters, hot summers, and limited rainfall. The mean temperature is about 11° C (53° F ) at Paris and 15° C (59° F ) at Nice. In central and southern France, annual rainfall is light to moderate, ranging from about 68 cm (27 in) at Paris to 100 cm (39 in) at Bordeaux. Rainfall is heavy in Brittany, the northern coastal areas, and the mountainous areas, where it reaches more than 112 cm (44 in).

Most people associate French culture with Paris, which is a center of fashion, cuisine, art and architecture, but life outside of the City of Lights is very different and varies by region.France doesn't just have different cultures; the word "culture" actually comes from France. "'Culture' derives from the same French term, which in turn derives from the Latin colere, meaning to tend to the earth and grow, cultivation and nurture," Cristina De Rossi, an anthropologist at Barnet and Southgate College in London, told Live Science.
Historically, French culture was influenced by Celtic and Gallo-Roman cultures as well as the Franks, a Germanic tribe. France was initially defined as the western area of Germany known as Rhineland but it later came to refer to a territory that was known as Gaul during the Iron Age and Roman.

French Cuisine the term, is somewhat of a misnomer, because the word 'cuisine' is the French word for kitchen [not about food itself]. Americans however generally think of 'French Cuisine' as being really great French food. With that in mind, this section includes several subjects that we cover in our 'Gourmet Food' section including: basic cooking methods, French ingredients, great traditional French recipes, setting up a kitchen, and kitchen pantry, how to tips on for the great Chefs techniques, Cooking Trips to France, cooking with fresh herbs, English to French culinary words and phrases, and the world of French cooking made easy.
French cuisine has a rich history, and like many other native cuisines, French cuisine owes it development to brilliant chefs as well as the some helpful influences from neighboring countries. It can be assured that French cuisine will continue to evolve and change and that in years to come brilliant French culinary experts will continue to push the boudaries of the culinary world. Like many cultures it has taken many years for the French to perfect their cuisine, with each generation adding something new to the mix. Yet it is because of the chefs of the past generations that a country's cuisine can develop to what it is now.

France is the world's fifth-largest economy, thanks to the quality of its educational system and the national capacity for research and innovation. You too can reap the benefits of France's long tradition of scientific research and technological innovation. Millions have already made that choice. Right now, more than 280,000 international students – 12% of the nation's post secondary enrollment – attend universities and other institutions of higher education in France.
Ensure a Quality Education:
The country holds a position of prominence in mathematics and sciences which include physics, genetics, medicine, biology and astrophysics. This scientific community has received 26 Nobel prizes in the last century. Additionally, France's technological achievements such as the Airbus, Concorde; the smart card, and the fully automatic rapid transit system, Val – make France an attractive destination for young scientists.
Unparalleled Cultural Capital:
International students who choose to come to France also speak enthusiastically about the numerous attractions of France's rich heritage: museums, theaters, opera, films, wine making, gastronomy and the road side cafés. Not to mention the popular monuments- castles of the Loire region, Versailles, the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower. The French language which is spoken by 270 million people across 5 continents adds to the cultural capital students acquire during their stay in France.
A World of Options:
Indian student's have a wide choice of programs and specializations to choose from in France. In fact, France hosts more international students than any other country except the United States and the United Kingdom. France's diversified network of more than 3,500 institutions of higher learning, both public and private, and its internationally renowned research centers deliver high quality educational programs giving international students ample options to pursue their higher education. The network comprises 88 universities, about 240 engineering schools or programs, more than 200 schools of business and management, 120 public art schools, and 20 schools of architecture. In addition, more than 3,000 specialized schools and institutes provide instruction in specific fields, such as social work, paramedical specialties, tourism, sports and physical education, fashion, and design.
Financial Support by French Government:
More than a fifth of France's national budget is devoted to education. France's central government defrays a very large share of the true cost of education at public institutions —between €6,000 and €15,000 per student per year—thereby reducing the student's tuition burden to as less as €250-€500. Additionally the French government grants numerous scholarships to international students through embassies in their respective countries. For example the French Embassy in India awarded 7.1 crore Indian rupees (1.1 million Euros)to more than 300 meritorious Indian students who will pursue a specialized Masters degree in France.

The French education system is split into three stages: primary school, secondary school (collège) and high school. Primary and secondary education is free, neutral, secular and compulsory between the ages of 6 and 16. However, there are some private schools that are not subject to these obligations and particularities of the French education system.
Primary School
The main objective of the primary school is for the children to achieve a standard for acceptance into the first year of the Middle School or College. The primary school lasts for five years and from ages 6 – 11.
Secondary School:
Primary school gives way to the College (equivalent to secondary school) for the ages of 11 – 15. Subjects are taught by specialist teachers, foreign languages are offered and daily homework becomes serious. In the second year of college, Latin is offered to the brighter students and physics and chemistry are introduced. The third and fourth years of college culminate in the Brevet a national examination which it is necessary to pass to continue into the Lycee and Second.
High School:
From the ages of sixteen to eighteen, pupils attend the Lycee, which teaches an academic three-year course in higher education leading to a specialized baccalaureate or 'bac' examination. Pupils are guided into three basic specific subject areas based first upon academic strength and then upon personal choice. A bac 'S', possibly the most prestigious, specialises in maths and sciences, a bac 'ES' in economics and a bac 'L' in languages and literature.
Bachelor Degree:
Success in the baccalaureate exam gives an automatic entry into university. For example, anyone with a bac can begin studying medicine but 90% do not manage to continue past the second year exam. French parents pin their hopes on their child not attending university but gaining a place at one of France's 500 grandes ecoles, considered far more prestigious than university with the possible exception of the Sorbonne. These ecoles train France's elite and have the best resources. A diploma from the ENA (National School for Public Administration) or the Science Po in Paris guarantees an influential managerial or administrative position in the private or public sector. And lack of such a diploma makes it almost impossible to secure one of those positions.
Students may earn a doctorate in engineering after 3 years of successful work in the laboratory of an engineering school, often in cooperation with industry

If you're a perfectionist when it comes to email organization, you may want to make sure that all of your messages have been organized. It's easy to do a search in Google Mail for all of the messages contained under a certain label. But how can you find all the messages that don't have a label/folder?
First, turn off conversation view (Settings -> Conversation View -> Turn Conversation View Off). This will keep messages from being grouped together in conversations where some of the messages might be labeled.
Second, copy and paste this string into the search box, then tap the Enter key:
has:nouserlabels -in:Sent -in:Chat -in:Draft -in:Inbox
This will find all of your messages that don't have a label AND that aren't in your Inbox, Drafts, Chat, or Sent folders. From here, you can go through and file your messages to your heart's content!
I first learned about this technique from this article: https://it.umn.edu/finding-all-unlabeled-mail-in-gmail

Books of accounts must be kept in such manner that they enable the designated partners to show that any Statement of Accounts and Solvency complies with the LLP Act.
Annual compliance for LLP is much less compared that required for a company. An LLP is required to maintain certain books of accounts for each year of business. For the purpose of closing its books of accounts, it may opt for either the end of the financial year.

A LLP exists as a separate legal entity from your personal life. Both LLP and person, who own it, are separate entities and both functions separately. Liability for repayment of debts and lawsuits incurred by the LLP lies on it and not the owner.
It is easy to become a Partner with minimum number of documents or leave the LLP or otherwise it is easier to transfer the ownership in accordance with the terms of the LLP Agreement.
Just like a Company, LLP is also body corporate, which means it has its own existence as compared to partnership. LLP and its Partners are distinct entity in the eyes of law. LLP will know by its own name and not the name of its partners.
Statement of Accounts and Solvency is a mandatory filing that is required for all LLPs in India. Statement of Accounts and Solvency contains a declaration on the state of solvency of the LLP by the designated partners and also information related to statement of assets and liabilities and statement of income and expenditure of the LLP.
Annual return of a LLP is due within 60 days of close of financial year. For LLPs financial year starts on April 1st and ends on March 31st, therefore the Annual return of a LLP is due on or before May 30th of each financial year.

A LLP is a new form of legal business entity with limited liability. It is an alternative corporate business vehicle that gives the benefits of limited liability but allows its partners the flexibility of organizing their internal structure as a traditional partnership. The LLP is a separate legal entity and, while the LLP itself will be liable for the full extent of its assets, the liability of the partners will be limited.

A recent co-write of mine, entitled 'Walk Away', was accepted by a top Canadian Production Music Library within 2 days of being completed. Made my month ! Well almost, because my very first grandchild was born mid February.
'Walk Away' was co-written with the ultra talented Briand Melanson aka Bamtone, who is himself from Toronto, Canada.
I really enjoyed writing the lyrics and working on this song with Briand - it was a lot of fun and the process wonderfully smooth.
Thank you Bam !

Mark Riddick has been illustrating for the extreme heavy metal music scene since 1991. Riddick's gory and horrifically cannibalistic drawing style has led his artwork to become featured in many underground and newsstand metal publications and become incorporated into illustrations for shirts, LP/CD covers, and other merchandise for major label and independent metal bands alike. In 2006 Riddick published his first art book, Killustration, and in 2008 published a second art book, entitled Rotten Renderings, and Logos from Hell;a book about death/black metal logos featuring other prolific artists in the underground metal scene. Since 2007, Riddickâs artwork has been solicited for display at respectable art galleries in New York City, Portland, Santa Ana, Tokyo, and more. Riddick currently resides in the northern Virginia area with his wife, son, and two cats. The following interview includes images of a graphic nature that some readers may find offensive. When did you first realize that illustrating could become a full time career for yourself? Illustrating is actually a part-time career for me as Iâm a full-time graphic designer by day. All of the time I spend on my freelance illustration is completed outside of my day job and time spent with my family. I decided to take my ability to illustrate more seriously at the ripe age of 14 when I was introduced to underground death and black metal music. It was at this time I realized my potential to become successful in this area and Iâve been passionate about it ever since. How long have you been designing for bands? Iâve been illustrating for bands, magazines, and record labels since 1991; almost 20 years! The first time I was published was in 1991 when an underground metal fanzine from the state of Washington published a couple of my illustrations as filler artwork. My art appeared alongside interviews with now legendary bands like Cannibal Corpse and Profanatica! Have you ever considered doing your own comic book or working as a comic book illustrator? My Aunt, Lee Marrs, is a fairly well-known independent comic book and graphic novel writer/illustrator. She did several titles during the 70s and 80s based around strong but humorous feminist characters she created. She is no longer as active as she used to be in this field as her focus is now on instruction and animation/digital comics these days. Iâm not very well versed in the art of sequence drawing, nor telling stories so Iâve never pursued this career path. However, in 1998, I did ink a comic book called âDark Deceit,â which was penciled by a Canadian artist named Trent Khelm. Everything turned out great but the publisher, Gothic Studios, went out of business before the comic book was published so it never saw the light of day. What is the key to keeping your work and ideas fresh and not getting mentally or physically burnt out by what you do? The key is to stay passionate about my craft. Iâm always looking for new ways to challenge myself or to develop my knowledge-base by taking on interesting projects that help push my skill level. Iâd hate to sound cliché but practice really does make perfect. One of the ways I manage to stay fresh is by remaining open to inspiration, be it finding solace in another artists work or researching human anatomy. Iâve found it increasingly difficult to stay creative as Iâve gotten older and so I have to make time to open myself up to new possibilities rather than become bored by routine. Predominantly your art work is done in black and white. What is your reason for this? In my opinion, black and white is the boldest form of contrast that can be achieved in art or graphic design. There is also something intriguing to me about the simplicity of the tools I use, Bic Stic pens and 65lb cover stock paper, and what Iâm able to achieve with them. Illustrating with a pen is a very rudimentary process and I absolutely enjoy the raw experience it yields. One of the other reasons why I prefer to work in black and white is because of my fondness for the old underground metal fanzines I collected in the early 90s. These fanzines were usually short run, do-it-yourself, photocopied publications which featured interviews with underground death and black metal bands and included intricate page-border illustrations and gruesome filler art. This style of art was also very popular with band demo covers, which were often photocopied as well. I try to carry this theme and old-school atmosphere into my art today; itâs so amazing to me how this style appeals to the new generation of metalheads and underground veterans alike. A lot of your artwork consists of skulls, skeletons, zombies and other various demonic looking characters. Is death something that is constantly on your mind and therefore showing through in your artwork? Death should be on everyoneâs mind at some point in their lives. Death is without a doubt the central focus in my work as it serves as a reminder of my own mortality. One of my favorite life lessons, if you will, is from a story that is thought to have originated in medieval France wherein three corpses confront three living prosperous young men (a duke, a count, and a prince); the corpses warn, âSuch as I was you are, and such as I am you will be. Wealth, honor, and power are of no value in your hour of death.â This story is commonly referred to as âThree living, three dead.â Being an atheist, reinforces my temporary existence but also acts as a motivator, hence forcing me to embrace life and to pursue my bliss. One of the many purposes art serves is to act as a platform for self expression, free from the bounds of ethics, and to entice a reaction from its viewer. If my art can beg an emotional reaction, on some human level, from my audience then it has achieved one of its purposeâa blatant display of death will sometimes achieve this mean. Where or from whom does your inspiration come from? The subject matter of my work is clearly inspired by the one knownâdeath, but other themes such as disease, depravity, and my distaste for religion all play a role in my art. There are many artists, particularly underground metal illustrators, who influence my work as well; such as Chris Moyen, Matt âPutridâ Carr, Daniel Desecrator, Bernie Wrightson, Tim Vigil, Jeff Zornow, Mike Majewski, Aaron Crawford, Tony Koehl, Tom Denney, and many others. How did you come about working with artist Aaron Crawford? What do you think of his art work? Aaron and I have been in touch for a few years now; we met through MySpace, where I do most of my networking. We collaborated on a few illustrations for Etheric Plague and Devour Thy Sins. Aaronâs artwork is fantastically unique and he has a very keen sense of color. If time permits, I would like to collaborate with him more in the future. Iâve participated in a few other collaborations in the past as well. I did a piece with Matt âPutridâ Carr in 2008 and about ten years ago I collaborated with Andy âTapewormâ Knerr, who used to do all of the early Nile merchandise artwork before they signed with Relapse. What is the American art scene like right now and how has your artwork been received over there? Well, it depends on how you define the âart scene.â If you mean the American fine art scene, Iâve barely skimmed the surface as my work has only been making gallery appearances in the last two years. In terms of the âart sceneâ in the underground metal community Iâd say itâs fairly prolific. My work is very well-received in the metal scene; itâs been so busy Iâve been rejecting requests almost daily. However, there are several talented illustrators in the American metal scene like Mike Majewski, Tony Khoel, Jon Zig, Putrid, Tom Denney, Haleycaust, Aaron Crawford, Dennis Dread, Steve Crow, Lou Rusconi, and many others. If you had to choose one piece of work you've done so far in your career as your favorite, what would it be? Iâm incredibly satisfied with a recent album cover I illustrated for my own band, Fetid Zombie. The album is entitled, âVomiting in the Baptismal Pool.â However, my true artistic masterpiece is my son. The ability to create human life yields satisfaction like no other act of creation. What was the last horror film that you watched and thought was good/bad. I havenât watched a horror film in a very long time so Iâm unable to comment. Iâm not a very big fan of horror movies as I prefer drama and comedy the most; particularly movies that have deep messages or are emotionally moving, much like Good Will Hunting, Saint Ralph, Rory OâShea Was Here, Chrystal, or The Notebook. What have you been listening to on your ipod/mp3player/stereo a lot recently? I rarely use my iPod as I listen to most of my music on vinyl or CD. Iâve recently been indulging some folk metal bands like Skyforger, Manegarm, Arkona, Crom, and Asmegin. Other bands Iâve been spinning recently include Exodus, Bestial Mockery, Anal Vomit, Speirling, Agolloch, Doom VS, Mythological Cold Towers, Nocturnal Graves, Goreaphobia, Church Bizarre, Nifelheim, Hour of Penance, Viral Load, and Witchtrap. Finally, where do you see yourself 5 years from now, in regards to your work, new projects and any other personal aspirations you have in life. My wife and I plan to have a second child soon so that is my greatest personal aspiration. Family aside, Iâm currently working on an extended version of the âLogos from Hellâ book I recently published. This time I will be coauthoring the book with Ian Christe, author of âSound of the Beast: The Complete Headbanging History of Heavy Metal.â The extended version will feature more logo artists and more in-depth text about the history and visual impact of heavy metal logos, with emphasis on death and black metal logos. I also plan to release a few more albums with my various bands in 2009 so it should be a very busy but rewarding year ahead. Thanks so much for your time and support, Aaron! Best of luck with 405!

A month has passed since my original post and just like life, our journey to become parents has evolved during these four weeks. More decisions, more reality checks, more lessons learned, and more…hope! Even with some things that might have included some negative tinges, my husband and I have kept the channels open discussing what feels right, what feels off, and where to head next.
That Damn Thyroid
Well, we upped my meds again and my TSH (which can affect ovulation and overall egg quality) hasn't gone down to normal levels yet, so we upped it once again and I'll know in another week if we are yet to get it down to that happy 2.5. My fingers are crossed because, even if fertility was not our priority, I still want to be healthy!
Rotten Eggs?
Any woman who's had low AMH (quantity) and high FSH (quality) can empathize with the question that's been on my mind…are my eggs just rotten? It's an "ugh" question and lots of folks like to say hush now, they're not rotten, when the fact of the matter is, my choice of adjective may not be ideal but I am 41.
But Others Have Done It!
The great irony for me is that my perception of being able to get pregnant at 41 was actually quite optimistic, because over the years there have been a sizable number of women who've come in and out of my life who have gotten pregnant in their late 30's, early 40's, with seemingly little struggle. That matched with the stories of celebrity mums at my age just made it more stunning when my ND checked my levels. So the great reality check definitely happened, and while we could have embraced an "ignorance is bliss" when we first decided to start trying, I'm eternally grateful that my ND was all about getting me prepped and checked and treated in advance.
Looking at Past Providers
Going back into my annual exams with ob/gyns, not one ever even suggested testing my ovulation or taking blood samples to see where my levels were at. Only one, literally 6 months after my divorce at 31 when I'd first moved back to Portland, solo, even broached fertility. She said as we were in the hallway walking out, "at your age you might want to think about freezing your eggs" and that was it. Considering the cost of an uninsured process like that, coming from the mouth of a wealthy doctor as if there were no financial considerations, it was a really callous thing to say, and one of the reasons why I don't like going to most ob/gyns who give you 15-20 minutes of their time and pull in a quarter of a million a year or more providing this miniscule amount of care and thinking random comments like this in the hallway where others are around is an appropriate way to counsel. Then hearing from so many women that the majority of RE's out there are known to be some of the most insensitive, cold, god-complex-ridden folks out there in the medical field (and experiencing it with 2 clinics firsthand)? It really leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth. Anyone who knows me knows I'm a stickler for accountability, and the lack of it in this profession along with the "first do no harm" philosophy that is lost among a lot of providers, it's so sad to me.
The New and Improved Fertility Doctor!
Shockingly, we found out about the new doctor on Yelp. Yep, for kicks I decided to see if any of the bad providers' clinics were reviewed and all I can say is I wish we'd checked sooner rather than relying on advice to go to the first one we were referred to. There seemed to be a resignation of many that RE's are assholes and you go to them for the expertise but not the love. I'm so glad I called bullshit on that. With the majority of infertility treatment not covered by insurance, I sure as hell was not going to put up with and PAY cold insensitive jerks. Because here's the deal: my belief is that parenting is challenging enough without the process of becoming a parent being so brutal, and if they can't treat you like a human being instead of a transaction, fuck 'em.
Anyhow, we saw the good doctor for a free consultation (what a concept – the others didn't offer this and it's something I rarely hear about in traditional medicine), and from the wonderfully kind lady on the phone to the warm, genuine smile from the doc himself, my husband and I both – finally – exhaled. And along with this? He talked about money upfront, the discounts for the uninsured, and was both realistic AND kind to me about my options. [While the last RE told me she didn't think I had much of a chance yet had no hesitation to suggest 4 rounds of Femara + IUI (while not mentioning it only would increase my odds by a couple of percentage points), then IVF &/or a donor egg, with all of these adding up to several tens of thousands of dollars by the end.]
Doctors like our original one prey upon women's desires and sometimes desperation to get pregnant with a careless "I've seen it happen" comment, rather than being gentle but realistic, with actual success rates for their age group and situation. SART success rates are published, but many manipulate their numbers or market deceptively to prospective patients. And when you're in a vulnerable, emotionally charged situation that many times is one of if not the biggest challenges of your life? Well, many allow REs to walk all over them and don't think about questioning their recommendations or their lack of bedside manner.
Next Step to Homemade
So we talked about what treatment was available versus what was realistic. We talked about what was worth the time and the money, and what options could cover the "if I look back will I regret not trying ______" type of thoughts. And the fact is, there is really only one possibility left to try with these eggs I've got left, which is a series of natural gonadotropin injections to try to produce more eggs when I ovulate. It also has way fewer side effects compared to Femara, and has a bit better results. To be honest, we're not banking on this, but it's the one last try we want to take with my ovaries. Emotionally and physically, I don't want to be 42 or 43 and still obsessing on this. We will be parents, and know that it may just look a little different than we once visualized. And that's cool. So, tonight we kick this off, and my husband, to keep him involved, will be giving me the tummy shots 🙂 We'll give this a try and see what happens, but if it's a no-go, then the donor egg catalog gets opened…
Our DHS Verdict
While the above was all happening, we also watched how DHS was – and was not – handling our application to foster/adopt. Poor follow through, refusal to provide copies of information, and more, leading up to our first appointment with – wait for it – a social worker who was brand new to her job, available only part time, and just couldn't seem to find half the references that were sent to her weeks ago. In the first appointment, which she said would be an hour, she was at my house for almost 3 hours, as she wanted to start my 1:1 interview which she'd not told me about in advance. She seemed frustrated that we didn't know if we wanted to foster or adopt (we'd applied for both) and then when we were open about our plans to adopt from an agency, she said that this was a "red flag" to them because they think we should only be focused on going through them. Going through them means we either get a temporary child OR waiting up to FIVE years to be able to adopt, and at the court hearing to adopt a child, you would be against up to 50 other families, with a possibility of rejection even if the child has been living with you and even if the social worker has recommended you. And along with that, not to mention the social worker telling me is that they as an agency assume that you as an applicant will parent like your own parents did (wow that's mass generalization and so untrue for so many of us…), it really turned me off. Oh…and did I mention they explicitly said that we'd have to "keep a good eye on the checks that come in to make sure that accounting is right as they get it wrong a lot and you have to keep on them to get things fixed." Scary to see this is a state agency we're supporting with taxpayer dollars.
Happiness is Crossing an Ocean
On the international adoption front, Friday we sent off our packet of paperwork to the adoption agency. We have decided that we're going to adopt a little girl, with our preference being a baby but open to a child up to age four, as we'd like to have some time before school and such begins for us as newbie parents, and to give her time to acclimate to living with us with a new country, climate, language, community, everything. It takes 12-24 months from the time we apply, so we thought we'd get crackin' on this while we work on the homemade plans as well.
There was a LOT of paperwork – a ton of references to get (huge thanks to our American and Australian friends who wrote so many beautiful things about our relationship and potential as parents!), medical clearances (my naturopath's letter was not accepted so I had to meet a GP and get a physical this week at the last minute so I could get a clean bill of health from him), employment and income statements for each of us, complete our autobiographies for the home study, three different criminal and background checks (gotta love that we got fingerprinted with DHS the same day but they won't share results with the agency, and found out that the Oregon State Police and DHS require separate background checks, kind of worrisome that those two agencies aren't sharing info, yikes!), 10 hours of online training, and much, much more. The agency has been great (a little rough around the edges when it comes to communication style, but having talked to an adoptive family who worked with them on 3 separate occasions, we took their advice and rolled with it), and we can't wait to get the home study started !!
Getting Support
While the online forums and support of our friends and family has been lovely, talking to other women whose bodies have also challenged them in this process was something I finally got to do after learning about RESOLVE, a national network of support groups for families experiencing infertility issues. Last week I met six women at a local meeting who all had different issues they were contending with reproductively, running the gamut from PCOS to premature ovarian failure to unexplained infertility to diminished ovarian reserve (moi). It was such a sigh of relief to get in there and just vent all that was on my mind, my experiences, and listen and learn from others. I was grateful, and will look forward to the next meeting as well.
Looking Forward
Our journey to build a family continues. It has streamlined in a few ways, educated us in many, and inspires us every single day. It has brought us closer together and really kept us focused on what's most important, and while some days I curse at the challenge, I know that I would never want to have started any earlier. I am the parent I want to be now, and would never have been nearly as prepared or confident ten or twenty years ago. So I'm 41, and I'm facing it head on, and with my most amazing and wonderful partner, we are creating a family in our own way.

US report: Melanie Griffiths' new skin cancer nightmare
Doctors are warning Melanie Griffith she could be in for a fight after a dangerous recurrence of skin cancer, according to sensational claims published in the US today.
The 60-year-old Working Girl actress was spotted with a wound on the tip of her nose recently – similar to a cancer spot she had in 2015 - with sources allegedly confirming to the National Enquirer that she's suffering from the potentially serious disease.
"The most dangerous skin cancers are around or on the nose because they can spread deep underneath the skin," Dr Gabe Mirkin tells the magazine. "Recurrences of nasal skin cancer after removal can be a sign that the cancer has spread to other parts of her body."
New York physician Dr Stuart Fischer adds: "The fact that it's back and bigger than before means they didn't get it all out the first time. Now they'll have to go back in and or more invasive skin surgery, which will be very difficult on her nose and her appearance."
Melanie has yet to respond to the Enquirer's allegations and has not made any recent statement on her health.

Protecting Yachts from the Effects of Commercial Water Damage on Pine Island
2/17/2018 (Permalink)
Call on the Professionals at SERVPRO to Remediate Water Damage
Protecting yachts, so they remain dry during the slower off-season months in the Pine Island area helps keep them mold-free and ready for the more active months. Renting boats to locals and tourists brings a substantial amount of money into our community.
Pine Island boat and yacht rentals need year-round protection from commercial water damage, however, not just during the slower months. Water, especially salt water, continually creates damage to any structure's interior. Saltwater causes substantially more damage than clean water because any residual salt draws additional moisture to it relentlessly.
Keeping your vessels watertight protects your clients while preventing water damage protects your investment. When inspecting for hull breaches, leaks, and other problems when clients return a yacht, looking for unwanted water inside can stop problems from developing. Repairing defects stops the water from continuing to invade a vessel, and SERVPRO can help remove the water. We can also help remove the salt, increasing the amount of protection afforded to your property.
We use moisture meters and thermal imaging devices to detect all areas that absorbed water. Keeping the interior dry and salt-free may seem like an ongoing task, but we are prepared to help prevent future water ingresses from posing as much risk. Knowing where water tends to concentrate within a yacht's interior influences where we place dehumidification machines and desiccant devices.
When water damage occurs, and a yacht needs repairs to become seaworthy again, our technicians can help perform this task. As we remove the different components and various boards from a yacht's interior, we continue to take readings with our meters. When materials seem damaged but the board's integrity remains intact, restoring through other means can help minimize costs. We carry out each job according to our customers' needs, keeping communication open during the entire time.
SERVPRO of Cape Coral knows the importance of our tourist and leisure-related businesses, and we want to help you provide the highest quality experience to your clients. We can help restore offices and shops related to your business, also, whenever water damage or other situations threaten your economic stability. Call our number, (239) 573-5911, to reach a technician who can provide more information about our 24-hour services.

When asked what words I would want clients to use to describe me, I chose the three listed above. I can't imagine three words that I would rather have people use when thinking of me.
Conscientious, Knowledgeable and Responsive–those words alone could be one of the best job descriptions of what advisors should look for in a manager and what a client should look for in an advisor. In all my interactions I never forget it is the relationship that matters. Whether designing Legacy Plans for individuals and families or creating an atmosphere were advisors can invest for the best interest of their clients; it is important to follow those three words.
Raymond James has consistently ranked in the top percentage of surveys regarding employee and client satisfaction. The culture of putting the client-advisor relationship first starts at the top and is reinforced at the branch level.
We've always thought strength emerges from solid risk management. This founding belief is one reason we continue to take a long-term view and remain disciplined – for clients, as well as for our firm.
There's still a place where stability and your satisfaction matter.
There's still Raymond James.
Doesn't your future deserve a firm and an advisor that stay true to their core beliefs in good times and bad?

Maggi aftertaste: Starbucks pulls out all unapproved ingredients
FSSAI had rejected Tata Starbucks' applications for 32 ingredients which included sauces, flavoured syrups, toppings and pudding. Tata Starbucks maintains that all the products and their ingredients are safe.business Updated: Jun 15, 2015 23:47 IST
Hindustan Times
Tata Starbucks, the joint venture between Tata Global Beverages and Starbucks Coffee Company, on Monday said it is suspending the use of all such ingredients that haven't received approval from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), even as it reiterated that the products were safe.
Tata Starbucks is the third company that is withdrawing its products. Recently, Nestle was forced to withdraw Maggi noodles from the Indian market after several states banned it following test results that showed presence of high quantities of lead and monosodium glutamate (MSG).
The Indian food regulator had rejected Tata Starbucks' applications for 32 ingredients as per a list on the FSSAI website, which included sauces, flavoured syrups, toppings and pudding.
Tata Starbucks said it is 'diligently' working with FSSAI to provide the technical information relating to the pending ingredient applications that the regulator had requested.
"In line with the FSSAI guidelines, while we finalise the documentation necessary to complete these applications, Tata Starbucks has initiated the suspension of applicable ingredients from certain products served in our India stores," Avani Davda, chief executive officer (CEO) of Tata Starbucks, wrote in a message to Starbucks customers, which was put up on the company's website.
The company has also initiated plans for using other FSSAI-approved ingredients that meet Starbucks global standards and enable it to continue offering a range of beverages, she added.
Tata Starbucks, though, maintained that all the ingredients were safe and met the safety standards in over 65 countries it operates in.
"As a premium global retailer, Starbucks has the highest standards for the safety and quality of the beverages and food we offer, and we are committed to complying with the regulations in every market we operate in," Davda said.

Many people are concerned about people they know who are in a relationship that is abusive. They wonder how they can help.
It may feel difficult to help someone who stays in a relationship that is abusive; however that person needs your continuing support. You are performing an important role by staying in touch and showing that you care.
Women in violent relationships often feel ashamed and isolated, especially if they stay in the relationship. There are many reasons why a woman might stay; emotional, financial, to keep the family together, or because she is too scared to leave. While outsiders might find it hard to understand, the reasons are very real and significant for the woman involved. It is important to let her know that the abuse is not her fault. Ending an abusive relationship is a process that often takes several years.
How can you help?
What is helpful to say:
What not to say:
For further assistance:
Family Violence: It's Not OK campaign has an 0800 Family Violence Information Line (0800 456 450) which provides self-help information and connects people to services where appropriate. It is available seven days a week, from 9am to 11pm, with an after-hours message redirecting callers in the case of an emergency.
In an emergency, if you are afraid for anyone's safety, telephone the police immediately.
Family violence is regarded as a crime and the police take it seriously.
Remember that children who are not directly abused but who witness family violence are being hurt and damaged by the abuse.
Remember also that while it is more common for women and children to be the victims of violence in a relationship that is abusive, men may also be the victims and need help and support. Some of the agencies listed here can also assist men.
Older people are also vulnerable to abuse and neglect. Age Concern offers free and confidential support, advocacy and information for people facing elder abuse. Age Concern also provides education to assist people working with and caring for older people to identify and prevent elder abuse or neglect.
