Forcepoint - Maverick of the Year
Company: Forcepoint
Company Description: Forcepoint is transforming cybersecurity by focusing on what matters most: understanding people's intent as they interact with critical data and intellectual property wherever it resides. Our uncompromising systems enable companies to empower employees with unobstructed access to confidential data while protecting intellectual property and simplifying compliance.
Nomination Category: Individual Awards Categories
Nomination Sub Category: Maverick of the Year
Nomination Title: Reimagining the Role of HR to Drive Human-Centric Innovation for a Global Cybersecurity Company
Describe for the judges the activities and accomplishments of the nominated woman since the beginning of July last year (up to 525 words):
As Chief Human Resources Officer at Forcepoint, Kristin Machacek Leary is acutely aware of the importance of hiring with security in mind. While protecting organizations from cyber threats has traditionally been the role of the CISO and CIO, she knows that preventing data breaches should be a priority for everyone.
Leary joined Forcepoint in October 2016 with the goal of shifting security professionals' perspective on cybersecurity and human resources. Her role brings to life a vision of centering cybersecurity around people at the intersection of information systems and data. In this new era, old approaches to security won't work, and neither do the traditional approaches of HR. Instead of the traditional HR role of hiring, firing and filing, she has reshaped HR to become a true business partner.
Her first course of action was to get a pulse on Forcepoint's culture and worldwide employee base. While the company is headquartered in Austin, TX, it is important to Leary that employees across the globe are in sync with the mission at hand. She led an unprecedented international Executive Vision Tour, engaging 1,700+ employees across 14 offices worldwide. This allowed executives to speak directly with employees from all countries to communicate Forcepoint's mission, vision, values and leadership qualities.
Leary later helped unify four distinct business units – network, cloud, data protection and governments - under one overarching culture. Partnering closely with CEO Matt Moynahan, she has defined Forcepoint's mission, vision, values and leadership qualities. She has ensured that Forcepoint encompasses qualities that reflect a positive culture, hiring based on collaboration, trustworthiness, innovation, respect, accountability and relentlessness. This has laid the foundation for two additional acquisitions, Skyfence cloud-access security in Israel and RedOwl security analytics in the United States, further enhancing Forcepoint's global culture and human-centered security systems.
Another way that Leary has bucked the traditional role of HR has been to champion a culture of innovation and trust at Forcepoint. As part of a new internal security program to protect Forcepoint's intellectual property, Leary partnered with IT and legal colleagues to develop a pilot program, procedures and process for internal communication. As one of the key stakeholders in the program, Leary worked to preserve transparency and trust for employees.
She also up-leveled the organization's use of technology and benefits, unifying HR resources under a SaaS-delivered platform and providing new sabbatical programs and rewards and recognition opportunities worldwide. Under her leadership, this has allowed the broader talent acquisitions team to recruit and retain the best of the best - growing by over 450 employees globally.
Leary is passionate about evangelizing the partnership between HR and cybersecurity to create an ethos for a human-centered security business both in culture and product strategy. She has collaborated on major global IT projects with Forcepoint CIO Meerah Rajavel, business transformation with CEO Matt Moynahan and thought leadership with Chief Scientist Richard Ford. This month, Leary will be co-presenting at two prominent security conferences later this year: Forrester Privacy & Security Summitand VirusBulletin 2017on turning insider threats into insider assets. Kristin Leary is a maverick by driving to put a human face on the cybersecurity industry from the inside out.
Provide a brief biography of the nominated woman (up to 125 words):
Kristin Machacek Leary serves as chief human resources officer for Forcepoint. She has more than 25 years of progressive leadership and human resources experience, including executive and leadership development, workforce planning, organizational development, talent and performance management and employee recruitment and retention.
Before joining Forcepoint, Leary held HR leadership roles at Alphatec Spine, Quintiles, Hewlett-Packard and Boston Scientific. She has also held senior management roles within Human Resources at Dayton-Hudson Corporation, Select Comfort Corporation, and Andcor Companies.
Leary holds a Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Communications & English from Concordia College.

'Regular Walkers' New Year Dinner
This 'get together' was supposed to celebrate the New Year but to avoid clashes with other events in the area it was held on 1st February!
Walks are on Tuesday and Thursday and walkers do not often meet other group members who walk on a different day.
55 regular walkers and partners met at Sataris Restaurant to dine at 7pm. All were seated on time and thoroughly enjoyed the excellent meal served by Abi Satari and his staff. Nothing was too much trouble and the delicious courses were served very efficiently. There was no seating plan and walkers were able to chat to people they had not met about shared experiences.
Quote 'We were on a table of 10. We knew no one but had a great time chatting to such friendly people'. Karen.
Leader John Dimsdale welcomed everyone and hoped they enjoyed the meal and the company and thanked people for turning up for walks, because without them there would be no walks!
Brian Cummins, co leader, thanked John for his dedication to leading walks twice a week and Robert Verbruggen, co leader, who plans the walk schedule, took the photographs.
It is a joy for the Leaders to be with such a delightful group of people and we are all fortunate to spend time out and about in this lovely countryside.
John, Terri, Robert, Frieda, Brian, Noelene

Oral 7's philosophy pertains to a healthy mouth relates to a healthy body, or more specifically "A moist mouth is a healthy mouth"
The Cycling Development Foundation, via the Veris Racing team, is pleased to announce a partnership with Oral 7.
Have you ever had that bad dream where all your teeth fall out? Woken up in a cold sweat about the consequences? Hopefully not, but are you doing everything possible to keep those gnashers healthy and firmly in place?
Have you ever had that bad dream where all your teeth fall out? Woken up in a cold sweat about the consequences? Hopefully not, but are you doing everything possible to keep those gnashers healthy and firmly in place?
The British Dental Health Foundation found that people are getting lazier over dental hygiene, with 8 times more people not even brushing their teeth! Apparently, only 30% of people are taking the right amount of time (a recommended full 2 mins) – that means 70% of teeth owners aren't taking enough care!
You don't really want to know what you'd look like without your teeth, do you? Regular brushing (twice a day) in itself doesn't guarantee healthy teeth and gums but it will go a long way to maintaining their health. As we all live longer and eat more processed foods and sugars, we need to take better care of our teeth than ever before. You should also make regular visits to your Dentist and eat sensibly – you'll miss your teeth when they're gone!
Oral7® Moisturising Toothpaste offers you the perfect gentle toothpaste for tooth care. Using the highest quality products including a natural anti-bacterial enzyme system, this toothpaste is suitable for the whole family.
The enzyme system provides anti-bacterial properties for fighting plaque and keeping breath fresh.
Why not put a smile on your face that you can be proud of?

Hello there! I'm here today with another card for the Lawn Fawn Sketch Challenge 28.When painting galaxies first became popular I gave it a shot, but I didn't know what to do with the paining so I stuck it in a box. This challenge gave me the perfect idea on what to do with it.I cut two circles out of my galaxy painting using stitched circle dies, one medium and one large. Then using an oval stitch die and the circles used to cut out galaxy circles, I cut a little piece of green cardstock to create a grassy sitting area for the cute critters.These cute fox and bunny critters are from the "Upon A Star" Lawn Fawn stamp set. I stamp them on 90lb Canson watercolor paper using my MISTI and Versafine onyx black ink. I then painted the little critters using Peerless watercolor and Derwent water brushes. Once they were dry I used my mini Tim Holtz scissors to fussy cut the critters. I actually did such a craptastic job with the fussy cutting, so much that I cut away some of the black outlines. No biggie though, I just used a black gel pen to draw the outline back in. Just so all the black lines matched I went over all the stamped lines with the black gel pen. Sound like fun, right? Lol, that was time well waisted. Note to self, next time use the Scan n Cut.To finish the saying "YOU'RE MY SHINING" I stamped the word "Star" on the inside of both cards. To add just a little jazz to the inside I added some stamped stars that I colored in with gold Wink of Stella.
Thanks for stopping by today and come back soon.
Happy Crafting!

NeuroCalm Review
NeuroCalm is advertised as a natural support during times of emotional distress and is claimed to promote emotional balance while offering anxiety and stress relief. The formula is offered by Symmetry, an American company founded in 1995. Symmetry's product portfolio includes a variety of nutraceuticals, condition-specific products, weight management formulas as well as household products. The manufacturer is a direct selling business and prides itself on being a member of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Better Business Bureau and the Direct Selling Education Foundation.
The formula features potent herbal ingredients known for their calm promoting properties, including St. John's Wort, Valerian, Rhodiola Rosea and Passion Flower. Also, the manufacturer claims the NeuroCalm features the DeltaZorb patented herbal blend which is claimed to significantly increase (up to 160%) the amount of vitamins, minerals and nutrients absorbed by the body as compared to formulas which do not contain the blend.
NeuroCalm Ingredients
NeuroCalm includes the following ingredients: St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) aerial parts extract (0.3% Hypericin, 3.0% Hyperforin), Rhodiola Rosea root extract (1% total Rosavins), Rhodiola Rosea root extract (1% total rosavins), Passion Flower (Passiflora incarnata), Taurine, DeltaZorb [proprietary patented blend of black pepper (Piper Nigrum) and Ginger Root (Zingiber Officinale) extracts], dicalcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose, Croscarmellose sodium, Stearic acid, silica, Magnesium Stearate, and pharmaceutical glaze.
Product Features
NeuroCalm is an herbal mixture which promotes feelings of relaxation and emotional balance. The formula features numerous herbs which are commonly prescribed today to alleviate symptoms of stress, depression and anxiety.
St. John's Wort is one of them, an herb used since ancient Greece to treat viral and bacterial infections, as well as to calm the nerves. Research today has produced evidence that the plant is able to relief mild to moderate depression, whereas certain studies claim it has no results on major depression. Evidence, although inconclusive, exists regarding the plant's ability to benefit anxiety disorders such as generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder or social anxiety. Scientists believe that St. John's Wort works by facilitating synthesis of Serotonin, Norepinephrine and Dopamine, important brain neurotransmitters. Its action is thus similar way to that of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), substances commonly used in treating depression, personality disorders and anxiety. Brand names of SSRI's include Celexa, Prozac and Zoloft.
St. John's Wort is generally considered safe but can cause dry mouth, dizziness, gastrointestinal symptoms and fatigue. Potential drug interactions include antidepressants, various heart medications, seizure control drugs, oral contraceptives and anticoagulants.
The Valerian root is believed to possess anti-depressant and sedative effects, however further research is required to establish the extent of its effectiveness. Valerian, sometimes referred to as "nature's Valium," is prescribed to treat anxiety disorders (panic disorder or generalized anxiety disorder), sleep disorders symptoms, behavioral disorders or tremors and inflammation in the joints. Valerian is considered possibly safe. However, it has been associated to drowsiness, headache, excitability and fatigue.
Consumer reviews for NeuroCalm can be found on the manufacturer's website. However they should be treated carefully, since they may represent be used to serve marketing and sales purposes. No side effects are mentioned for the formulation, however the manufacturer warns the product not to be used by pregnant and lactating women. The manufacturer mentions taking one or more tablets between meals 2 or more times a day.

- The daily value for the core ingredients has not been established.
NeuroCalm is an herbal remedy marketed to be efficient against ailments such as stress, depression or anxiety, conditions that affect an extremely large portion of the world population today. A U.S. statistics shows that approximately 9% of Americans are depressed at least occasionally, and roughly 3% suffer from major depression.
Correctly diagnosing and identifying the cause of depression and anxiety is an important phase of the treatment. While NeuroCalm may prove effective for some consumers (given that its ingredients are able to promote calm and relaxation), we strongly recommend that a healthcare provider prescribes the correct treatment. Also, it is important to mention that herbal extracts are not free of side effects and that precautions are sometimes associated.

DrumUp's Monthly Social Media Digest July
Hello again!
A lot has been happening in the social media space with Facebook and Twitter announcing big changes and introducing brand new features. Here at DrumUp, we have been hard at work and have been working on a few new features as well. You can read more on our updates below. If you would like to share your thoughts on DrumUp with us, we are always listening and would love to hear from you.
1. Facebook to let you make purchases from retailer's pages
You will soon be able to get all your favorite products on Facebook. The brand new shopping feature is currently being tested by a small group of users and retailers. The feature will be available on mobile as a separate shopping section in the Facebook app, and on desktops, as a separate tab. Retailers will be able to advertise their products on their pages and shoppers will be able to pick products they would like to buy. However, the decision of whether the actual transaction occurs within the Facebook app or on the company's website – is up to retailers. No word yet on when this feature will roll out to the masses.
2. Facebook video ads may challenge YouTube
Facebook will be giving some very tough competition to YouTube as it expands its video platform. The social media network is encouraging video publishers to publish their videos directly on this platform as it plans on splitting revenue earned from the advertisements that will be sold along with the videos. Up until now, Facebook was trying to convince media companies to publish videos on Facebook pages with the promise that the content will get more attention. However, as Facebook's video platform is quickly gaining traction, they are ready to incorporate advertising in the videos. More on Facebook's plans on revenue sharing.
3. Facebook Messenger working on a digital assistant to help you shop
Don't we all love some help while shopping? Facebook is tinkering with the idea of having a digital assistant help you shop for products and services. While there are services available in the market that let you text your requirements to someone and have the goods delivered, there is always a service charge that users have to pay on top of the price of the goods ordered. It is unclear how Facebook plans on executing the logistics of it. However, it is definitely going to be a major breakthrough for Facebook if the service works. Will MoneyPenny be next in line after Siri and Google Now?
4. Twitter gives a sneak peak into upcoming updates ahead of its second Flight developer conference
Twitter's second Flight developer conference is scheduled for October 21st, and the company has sent out a few teasers for all the new updates that will be announced at the event. There are some changes coming to the Fabric developer platform – which provides developers with a set of tools that can be used to better integrate Twitter into their applications and also offers tools for analytics and advertisement management. But, that's not all. Many more updates to be announced at the event.
5. Twitter's new Safety Center to bring down trolls
Trolls no more! Twitter recently introduced it Safety Centre which will help users improve their experience with the micro-blogging site and make it safer to use. While it hasn't made a very big difference, Twitter is slowly trying to address issues around online safety. The Safety Centre provides general tips on how to strengthen passwords, or how to report spam account. It is supposed to be a central hub where users can find solutions to their problems in one location rather than having to search for the entire site for it. Twitter has outlined how the Safety Centre can help you.
6. Twitter removes personalized homepage wallpapers
Users are not too happy with the new changes Twitter has made to homepage wallpapers. The micro-blogging site has removed any personalized or preset Twitter backgrounds that users might have been using, and replaced them with what users are calling "blinding white" backgrounds. Users who are logged in will only see the personalized wallpapers on Twitter's public pages such as list pages, collections pages and Tweet pages. It is possible to change the wallpaper by going to the main Settings menu, and making the change under the Design tab. Here is what Twitter's spokesperson had to say about the change.
7. LinkedIn no longer lets you export your contacts
LinkedIn has removed a feature that allowed you to export your contacts. You will now be asked to request a data archive, which can take up to 72 hours. Before the feature was pulled, users could export contacts and download a VSF of CSV file. LinkedIn provided no indication about this feature being removed. If you need to get access to your connections that you made while using the service, or the ones that you manually imported when you first joined, you would need to request access to the account data. Venturebeat tells you exactly how to access your account data.
- Image support for Facebook & Twitter custom posts: You can now find and share interesting industry updates, tips and more for your LinkedIn account and pages. LinkedIn can be used for sign ins and pages/accounts can be added from inside the app.
- Faster, fresher content suggestions on Login and Settings update: We've significantly improved the speed of giving you fresh content recommendations on Login and Settings update. You'll now get the latest relevant content suggestions even faster than before.
Like what we are doing at DrumUp. Please give us a Thumbs Up on Facebook.

group for warmth, friendship, laughter. What a fabulous relaxing and happy week. Sunny memories
to last all winter long. I can't wait to do it again.
Sue, Sussex
Finding this retreat with you was, for me like finding a diamond on a sandy beach.
The other 'new' friends who have come along to make this retreat have been a breath of fresh air. I havn't laughed, relaxed,
streatched or been with so much 'ab' pain for so long. The food was a welcome experience and I enjoyed everything about eating vegetarian for the week.

Thyroid gland is the largest endocrine gland in the human body, in adult person weighs between 25 and 30 grams (it is slightly heavier in women).
Thyroid hormones affect the growth and maturation, increase the basal oxygen consumption, control our thermoregulation and protein synthesis, breakdown of fats etc. Thyroid hormones play a key role in the development of the nervous system, promote wakefulness, affect the feeling of hunger, memory and learning ability, and in a normal emotional tone. They also have an important role in the reproduction of men and women and to the maintenance of normal pregnancy. Affect growth and brain development in the fetal period and during the first years of life.
According to estimates by the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, at least 30 million Americans have the disorder of the thyroid gland.
Here is a list with symptoms what you need to pay attention on:
Gain weight or weight loss
Unexplained change in body weight is one of the most common signs of thyroid disorders. The cultivation can be a signal of low level of thyroid hormone, a condition called hypothyroidism.
Swelling in the neck
Swelling in the neck is a visible sign that may indicate that something is wrong with the thyroid gland. This phenomenon can occur with hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.
Changes in heart rate (Pulse)
Thyroid hormones affect almost every organ in the body, among other things, affect how fast the heart beats. People with hypothyroidism may notice that their heart rate is slower than usual. Hyperthyroidism can cause rapid heartbeat. It also can cause increased blood pressure.
Changes in mood and lack of energy
Thyroid disorders can have a noticeable impact on energy levels and mood. Hypothyroidism makes people feel tired, depressed. Hyperthyroidism can cause anxiety, sleep problems, and irritability.
Hair Loss
Hair loss is another sign that perhaps your thyroid hormones are not in balance. Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can cause hair loss. In most cases, the hair grows back when the thyroid disorder is cured.
Dry skin
Dry skin scaly patches can be a sign of hypothyroidism. Changes in skin texture and appearance are associated with a slow metabolism, which can reduce sweating. The skin with enough moisture quickly becomes dry. Also, the nails become brittle and uneven.
Irregular menstrual cycles
Longer menstrual periods with stronger pain can be a sign of hypothyroidism. Also, short time between two menstrual periods.
Painful limbs and muscles
If you have sudden feelings of tingling, numbness or pain in the hands, legs, feet or hands, this could be a sign of hypothyroidism. Over time, too little of the hormone can damage the nerves of the brain and spinal cord send signals through the body.

Our best buy lawnmowers will make cutting the grass a pleasure again
Cutting the grass can be a meditative experience that leaves you feeling a great sense of achievement. It can be a ritual you look forward to. But, if you have the wrong lawnmower, the job can turn into one monumental hassle. From moving cable each time you turn, to mixing messy and smelly fuel, some mowers are not people friendly.
But nowadays battery tech has reached a new level. More mobile mowers than ever are as effective as mains-powered and fuel options. In fact there are even robot mowers that'll do the work for you. So, which is the best option for you? You'll need to ask yourself some questions about the area you need to cover and the rate you want to cut. Also consider how you deal with mess and more.
We've laid out everything you need to think about below. And we've weeded out (oh yes, pun intended) the bad options, and come up with a shortlist of lawn mower that will make cutting the grass a genuine pleasure.
Don't forget to check out more of our buying guides
Best lawn mowers
1. Hayter Harrier 41 Push – best petrol lawnmower
Hayter is one of the best brands when it comes to making lawnmowers. This lawnmower is a great choice if you're going to opt for a classic petrol powered model. These last for years and years with super blades that stay sharp for longer than most. Plus, you get a lifetime guarantee against engine crankshaft bending, so you don't need to worry about hitting a rock. In the case of this new Harrier 41 Push you get a ribbed rear roller for great lines that give a perfect finish.
Another factor here is the trim side which allows you to cut right up to the edge, in spite of the size of this beast. This might be a little heavy for some which is why a more expensive option is available with self drive too. This lawnmower has an impressively powerful motor and pitch variation setting. It also has a cut and collect system designed with aerospace tech. That means that this mower will even cut longer grass so you don't have to use it too often. It can handle a garden clear out if an area has grown a bit wild. With height settings between 13 and 60mm, there are options for any garden.
Ideal Home's rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Buy now: Hayter Harrier 41 Push, £599, Hayter
2. Bosch AdvancedRotak 750 – best lawnmower for both large and small gardens
This isn't just a mains powered lawnmower that looks like a stealth fighter plane, it sounds stealth too. Thanks to new ProSilence tech, as Bosch calls it, this 1,700 watt mower is 75 percent quieter than previous models at a meagre 89 dB. This isn't just subtle when it comes to noise though. Even changing the height has been made a simple pleasure with a one touch system that takes you between 20 and 80mm across seven steps.
The ErgoSlide control system is a welcome wonder that makes finding the right height and angle simple. There are a few triggers to activate the lawnmower so you can change hand positions as you need. The collection grass bag holds a hefty 50 litres and there is also a LeafCollect system. This makes collecting leaves – even in large amounts – a simple process. The 10 metre cable is long but most people will still need an extension cord for true freedom of movement. But with a super smooth action working around the garden is a really easy task making this perfect for larger and smaller gardens alike.

3. Stihl RMA 443 TC – best lawnmower for easy use
Stihl make lawnmowers – who knew? The company well known for its garden gadgetry prowess also creates its own impressive lawnmowers. The RMA 443 TC is a prime example of battery-powered brilliance. The lithium-ion powered mower offers enough juice to cut medium sized lawns. There is also an eco mode that'll get more life out of this mower before needing a charge.
But with a 41cm wide cutting area, six height adjustments and an easy-to-use mono handlebar this will make short work of most lawn cutting jobs put in front of it. This model also comes with a catcher box that can be easily removed thanks to that mono handlebar that stays conveniently out of the way. A useful grab handle makes moving this about easy, which is great for storage and recharging. There is also a drive system in place to help pull you along. This helps make this model a really easy lawnmower to use where that battery weight is barely noticeable when in use.
Ideal Home's rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Buy now: Stihl RMA 443 TC, £449 , Stihl
4. Husqvarna Automower 450X – best robot lawnmower
Husqvarna is the name made famous for its robot lawn mowers, so the latest Automower 450X is really ahead of the game. This little beauty will quietly (58 dB) pop out to your garden, mow up the lawn and head back to its charging dock. All while you do whatever else you want with your time. The only downside with these mowers is that they don't collect the grass but spray it back onto the lawn. That said, the grass is so finely cut you'll barely notice it and that helps feed the lawn for the future too.
This model has an excellent battery life at around 260 minutes on a 75 minute charge. This means it'll cover a good 5,000 metres square with that 24cm mowing width with height settings ranging from 20 to 60mm. This really can take over the job for you even in a larger garden. Just expect to pay the premium for this privilege. This lawnmower even comes with an app so you can see the status of the cutting job from your phone. This is also useful in case of theft where its built-in GPS will let you track its every movement.
Ideal Home's rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Buy now: Husqvarna Automower 450X, £2,510, Lawnmowers Direct
5. Flymo Electric Glider 330 – best lawnmower for small gardens
If the idea of wheels and working in a uniform line is a bit much then a Flymo might be more your speed. These seemingly magical mowers glide above the grass as if as light as a feather. This is great for gardens that have obstacles and require a lot of turning. It's handy for steep or awkwardly-shaped gardens too.
This electric mower means you can cut from 12 to 32mm. It weighs in at just 10 kg and comes with a decent 12 metre cable and 26 litre cuttings box for grass and leaf collection. All that and it folds down small for storage. This is great for smaller gardens and sheds.
Ideal Home's rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Buy now: Flymo Electric Glider 330, £98, Amazon
6. Bosch Indego 400 Connect – best lawnmower for cut coverage
This robot lawnmower is a smartphone app connected wonder that makes cutting the lawn easier than ever. With a cutting range of 30 to 50mm, it's not the most versatile. However, generally that lower range is enough when you consider that this can be set to keep cutting on a regular basis. With about 400 metres square range on half hour battery life, this lawnmower needs a quick 45 minute charge to be back at work.
Since this lawnmower uses parallel blades there is plenty of cut coverage, meaning this won't miss sections so you get a nice uniform finish. Bosch has cleverly made sure this model starts mowing at different points each time it rolls out for you. That way you always get the maximum cut coverage. You'll be able to see all this happening using the smartphone app, if that's your thing. While this means great cut coverage, it can leave a finish less professional looking than the lines of a human-controlled lawnmower.
Ideal Home's rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Buy now: Bosch Indego 400 Connect, £920, Amazon
7. Bosch Rotak 43 LI – best cordless lawnmower
When it comes to battery powered lawn mowers this is one of the best out there. As the name suggests you get a hefty 43cm cut width out of this mower. A 36 volt battery means plenty of power even on that large cutting head and high torque power constantly too. The handles are really comfortable and the 50 litre cuttings box means you rarely need to stop. This powers along smoothly, collecting leaves and grass as it goes.
This will even comb the grass so that the edges are effective for cutting grass so you can get into any area you need to with ease. The battery keeps going for a good hour before needing a charge. You also get between 20 and 70mm cutting depth options, all while weighing in at just 13.9 kg for a really comfortable and capable cut.

How to buy the best lawn mower for you
We all love the smell of a freshly cut lawn, but getting to that state can be a varied task. So to make that transition as smooth as possible you need to work out what is the exact job you need your mower to deal with.
The most obvious point to think about is the size of the area that needs to be mowed. Based on that you can work out the best type of mower to suit your needs. Here are the basic variations to consider.
Types of lawnmower
Petrol lawn mower
This classic offers a lot of power for cutting longer grass as well as wetter lawns while having a large range and long life. The downside is buying and mixing fuel, noise and vibration.
Main electric lawn mower
these offer lots of power like a fuel mower but without the smell or hassle. You are limited by a cable which oftens means the need for an extension lead, external socket and a whole lot of cable moving.
Battery lawn mower
This offers a truly mobile mower for hassle-free mobility. These can limit you on power and life before needing a charge.
Robot lawn mower
These battery powered mowers will do the cutting for you. They are best on large open areas only, don't get into edges and spread rather than collect the grass waste.
You can also get rotary mowers but for the purposes of this guide we are focusing on cutting-edge (yes, pun intended, again) tech only.
Why do I need a lawn mower?
If you want to look out at your garden and see a neat and tidy lawn, you'll need a decent mower. The better the mower the faster the job can be done which means you may do it more often for a better kept garden. Like getting a regular haircut, it pays to keep on top of the lawn. Regular cuts spell less physical effort, and less grass mess to clear away.
Another reason to get mowing is to clear leaves. Many mowers will chew up leaves and either bag them for you as you go or cut and spread them onto the lawn to work back into the soil. Either way you end up with a tidier lawn without the need to use a leaf blower or do all that rake work.
How much should I spend on a lawn mower?
The short answer is that you spend based on your needs – the higher you go, the bigger the mower, which will save you time. But in reality, spending more can get you features you might not need. For a medium-sized lawn, you might not need a mower that drives itself along, for example. However, you might want to splash out a bit more to get a larger blade size that cuts a wider area, meaning fewer laps up and down the garden.
Another factor is if you want a roller, this will cost more but means you get those brilliant lines left in the lawn to give the cut a really professional finish. You can save more money by going for a wired mower over battery, for example, but you just need to decide if that cable constantly being moved is going to be worth the saving.
One consideration is brand. You can get more affordable brands that claim to offer everything more established names do. In reality you're often going to get a longer lifetime from an established brand and, especially in the petrol mowers, better performance.
What other key questions do I need to ask?
How big is the bag?
This is a factor since a larger collection bag means fewer stops with trips to empty it out. Bag size also affects the weight of the mower. So if you're not going for a self-drive model, this may also be a factor based on how much physical effort you're willing to put in.
What's the diameter of the blades?
The diameter measurement of the blades is another factor since that determines the width of the cut. The wider you go the faster you can mow the lawn. However if you go too large it might affect getting in tighter spaces, between trees for example, as well as storage.
How often will you use a lawnmower?
The frequency of use is another issue. If you like to cut regularly, the idea of rolling out an extension cord each time might seem painful. Equally refuelling can also be a chore. That said, if your garden is not too large, a full tank of fuel could last you a good few cuts, where a battery powered option may only manage the one pass before needing a charge.

Keep it up Mageplaza!
Great communication and solved our issue promptly. Many thanks for all your help. I love Mageplaza service :)
I have not used it yet, but my developer told me to purchase, so I assume it's because it is good. He had several to choose from, and picked this one.
No store should launch without Mageplaza one step checkout
We had many many issues with the default Magento check out design and functionality. for example, the terms and conditions were appearing under one payment and then not available under another. billing address the same issue. we had suffered from that a lot. but after Mageplaza one step checkout, we could manage all aspects of our checkout, solve all issues related to default Magento 2 checkout, and also we got this huge bonus of abandoned cart and delivery times ... this is a great deal for real! Installation is another case, Mageplaza provides 100% error free code while using it with Porto theme.
Great service
Quick reply, both chat and ticket system. My problem was solved very fast with a quick custom CSS update in the module. Thank you very much, Mageplaza!
5-star support!
Thanks for GREAT support. I haven't experienced any other extension or theme provider that's even close to your support levels. FIVE BIG STARS!!!
Perfect! Thank you!
Installed on Magento 2.3 with Ultimo Theme. Installation went 100% problem free. And a translation file for my language (Swedish) was already included! I just had to add three phrases. No issues with Ultimo Theme. All my 3rd party payment and shipping methods worked 100%.
Amazing Plugin !
Congratulations Mageplaza support! Your plugin gives me the solution I was looking and helped me to deliver the Magento project quicker than my deadline. Thank you very much and we are in touch for future projects. Best regards Ioannis
Useful extension
We tried One Step Checkout Pro and found it very useful and handy. I would recommend this for sure. You must try this to get better results on your conversion.
Nice extension
Nice extension. But really need it to work with multiple store view. Currently, it's not possible to manage the custom checkout fields per store view. You need to fix this!
Easy to install and use
Integration worked fine - a few more bits to tidy up but all looks good so far. Admin panel is easy enough to manage - the store is not yet active fully but fits in with the theme
Great support
I have a pretty advanced theme on my store and support was very helpful to help get everything up and running properly with my existing theme. Thanks, Thomas and the team.
A very good extension
A very good extension, it makes our customers check out more conveniently. Thanks, Mageplaza, for providing us with such a good product, and also for providing us a lot of free extensions.
Amazing support for One Step Checkout
One of the best customer support experience is with Mageplaza team. It is well over a year I bought their OSC extension and they still support me as they have done on very first time. I strongly feel, if I ever need to buy an extension for my store and if Mageplaza has it, then certainly they would get priority from my company. Excellent work. Keep it up, guys.
Incredible support from Mageplaza
Arthas was extremely helpful and is incredibly quick to resolve any issues we have. And to the top, they all are very polite and professional. I would not hesitate to purchase more products from you guys just for the fantastic customer support, especially from Arthas. Thanks!
Great support
We installed the module on a development system and got some issues. After some intense testing together with the Mageplaza team, it turned out to be a Paypal bug fraud detection on the development system. We always had a fast and competent reply from the support team. The module itself is very flexible and easy to adjust.
Works well with 3rd party modules
Very happy with this checkout. It really works well with all the 3rd party modules we use in our Magento2 shop. Configuration is simple, and if you know a little bit of CSS, customization is simple.
Good extension
This module is pretty well out of the box. I would like to see a single loading icon on checkout instead of 5 or 6 for each block. Functionality to refresh individual blocks would be cool too. Anyway, thank you!

freeway, you should be just fine driving in Puerto Rico.
Cars drive on the right side of the road so be careful when turning
The driving laws in Puerto Rico are similar to those in the United
States with some exceptions.
In the USA, you must pull over on a highway (unless it is a divided
highway) when you hear a siren.
However, in Puerto Rico, many ambulances drive around with their
sirens on when they are not responding to an emergency.
Because of this, most cars do not pull over in this situation.
If you are driving in San Juan and notice diamond lanes on the far
right (cars drive on the right side there) don't be tempted to sneak
into them. They are for buses and buses travel in the opposite direction
in these lanes.

Direct Sales
Our "Agrobotigues" (Agrostores) were opting for direct selling of our products and have been an inspiration to many cooperatives who wanted to know our experience, by selling direct. The first objective is to offer a fresh product, without transportation and with a control guarantee of origin. On the other hand get an excellent price for the consumer and a worthily price for the producer.

It is still more difficult to bring peace where it is not. "The perfect peacemaker is the Son of God ( Ephesians 2:14 )" (McNeile). Thus we shall be like our Elder Brother.

Despite investors getting burned by bitcoin this year, companies are building key guardrails that could speed up more crypto adoption.
Start-ups are driving ahead with plans to solve the issue of custody, or having a place to securely store cryptocurrency. For institutional investors that are used to having money safely stored or FDIC insured, where they would put their high-paying clients' cryptocurrency is said to be the biggest question mark.
"Institutional investors are very interested in finding a solution, but they haven't seen one that they think is perfect for various reasons," said Monica Summerville, senior analyst at TABB Group specializing in financial technology. "They still self-custody, and manage all their own keys."
Summerville works with one family office that stores clients' cryptocurrency on tiny, USB drive-looking devices in order to guard against hacks. The devices they use are about the size of a baby carrot, and fund managers organize them in binders to keep money organized until there's a better alternative.
Other smaller retail investors opt to keep cryptocurrency on an exchange or have their own offline, arguably safer methods called "cold storage." But it's more complicated for family offices and hedge funds. The Securities and Exchange Commission requires private funds to use a third party, like a bank or another regulated financial institution for those holding more than $150 million in assets.
In cryptocurrency, often the only thing standing between money and a hacker is what's known as a "private key" or an alphanumeric code to access funds. Companies that manage these cryptographic keys are known as custodians, acting like traditional Wall Street custodians such as State Street and Bank of New York.

About Renee's Goodies
Hi i'm Renee mother to two handsome boys and live in Noosa QLD.
As a mother of 2 I understand that each journey is different. With my first son I was unable to breastfeed for long due to lack of support and information. Second time around I was very determined. After looking around for someone who made a range of goodies made to order to support new mums and noticed a massive gap in the market I decided to make my own and I was impressed.
Then a few weeks went by and Renee's cookies for mummies began. The first business in Australia to make motherhood goodies made to order & provide the range I do.
I have always liked supporting and helping people so what better way then to help new mums .
I love when I get messages from mums who may not have purchase my goodies but instead I gave them confidence to breastfeed or supported them through a challenging time.
It's about supporting each other. I have definitely learnt a lot and grown a lot. And I can't thank all the mums that have been there from the very start enough. Your support means everything.
I am so honoured to be apart of your journey whether it's for 1 day, 1 week or 10 years.
[Food Safety]
• All goodies are baked & packaged in a registered commercial kitchen.

I have recently been looking into obtaining file size for a Revit project. It's one of these file size tracking dashboards that everyone seems to have handy these days that I was working on, and realized that I am not getting proper reports from a BIM 360 model. Lo and behold, it turns out there is no API for that sucker, and according to this post: Dynamo BIM Forum, we can obtain that info from two sources: Jurnal Files and Local Cache for Collaboration For Revit. Yeah, I am lazy so I went ahead and used the answer provided in the before mentioned post, but in C#. I also combined that with two other methods that I already had for tracking Revit Server file sizes, and regular Central Models:
Now that we have a file size we could post it to a database, or toss it into some dashboard tool of your choice. One thing worth noting here is the REST API call to Revit Server to get the file size. Here's the code:
I am using RestSharp to create that call so make sure to have that referenced.
One more thing worth noting, is that the file size that we are getting is in bytes, so we must convert that value to something human readable: KiB, MiB, GiB etc. Here's a utility for that, and something to remember: file sizes are actually represented in powers of 1024 bytes and not 1000. Just an FYI.
All right I hope this was helpful to someone.

The band commented on the video, "Backdraft is a brand new track from our upcoming 3rd album Molten Giant. The song ranges from melodic cinematic riffs to some of the most brutal material we have ever written and definitely shows our full sonic spectrum. We really love this track!"Forthcoming album release Molten Giant pays homage to Kaiju movies and is a concept album about a nuclear war between a gigantic lava monster and the surviving human beings. The album is indisputably EXOCRINE at their finest and features phenomenal production, blistering guitar playing, ominous synth heavy atmospherics and massive unbridled brutality. The 8 track effort was tracked by Mathieu Pascal at Bud Studio, Sylvain Octor Perez at Tricerapod Studio and sees EXOCRINE pushing their jaw dropping technical abilities and song writing maturity to their absolute limit.Physical pre-order bundles for Molten Giant are available HERE.

GAAR – The General Anti-Abuse Rule
GAAR won't affect any Hamilton Bradbury contractors but it's important to know the facts before deciding on a payment vehicle
GAAR and the Contractor Marketplace
These days contractors have to take into account all kinds of different legislation when making tax planning decisions. If it isn't the dreaded IR35 then it will be the Managed Service Legislation, the Offshore or Onshore Intermediaries Legislation or the Agency Workers Regulations. In 2013 another important piece of legislation was added to that long line – the General Anti-Abuse Rule (GAAR) that was contained in the Finance Act of 2013.
The General Anti-Abuse Rule (GAAR) in Brief.
GAAR came into effect on the 17th July 2013 and was introduced in order to counteract any 'tax advantages arising from any tax arrangements that are abusive." The legislation is built around the fact that tax arrangements exist (and have always existed and will probably always exist) wherein obtaining a tax advantage is 'one of the main purposes' of those arrangements. This obviously gives the legislation a potentially massively wide scope and makes it nigh on impossible to ignore when making tax-planning decisions, particularly as it applies across a number of different types of taxes. Moreover, when HMRC published notes of guidance regarding the legislation they made very clear that GAAR was intended to be a clear break from the old way of thinking and operating. Previously, court decisions tended to lean towards the tax philosophy of being entitled to try as hard as possible to cut your tax obligation, as summed up by Lord Clyde 'every man is entitled if he can to order his affairs so that the tax attracted under the appropriate act is less than it otherwise would be.' This way of thinking was now to be corrected and the guidance made clear the intention of Parliament that the statutory limit on the reduction of tax liabilities would now be reached when such arrangements are put in place as might 'go beyond 'anything which could reasonably be regarded as a reasonable course of action.'
Further to this guidance there was some explanation as to the terms used. A 'tax arrangement' is considered to be any arrangement that, when looked at objectively, would have the effect of giving someone a tax advantage as its main aim or one of its main aims. Again, this sets a very low threshold for when GAAR applies but it is qualified by the addition of the word 'abusive.' For tax arrangements to be considered 'abusive' they must be 'arrangements the entering into or carrying out of which cannot reasonably be regarded as a reasonable course of action in relation to the relevant tax provisions, having regard to all the circumstances.' And finally, there is the safeguard (for the taxpayer supposedly) of the 'double reasonableness' test which requires that HMRC are able to prove that any arrangements entered 'cannot reasonably regarded as a reasonable course of action.'
Reasons for the Introduction of GAAR
Basically, the GAAR has been brought in because HMRC always seemed to be playing catch up with accountants and tax avoidance schemes. In the past HMRC's tax laws were always targeted at any loopholes they may have spotted in current legislation. This led to a sticking plaster approach and a constant sense of trying to catch up with the market – leading to a patchwork quilt of tax laws and a tax code that was seemingly one of the most complicated in the world. The introduction of a general rule against abusive arrangements therefore makes sense from HMRC's point of view.
How GAAR Works in Practice
If a taxpayer is found to have been using a tax arrangement or strategy that is caught by the GAAR regulations then the law will kick in and HMRC will reverse all of the tax benefits and omissions that that taxpayer has received thanks to the arrangement they adopted. This of course could lead to heavy penalties in the form of a large bill for unpaid taxes, penalties and interest charges.
Who decides whether GAAR applies?
The process will be that an officer of HMRC will be the one to determine whether an arrangement is abusive and then they will refer the taxpayer in question to a special GAAR panel. This panel will in turn rule on whether the contractor has been caught by the GAAR. The contractor can then either accept their decision or appeal to a first tier taxation tribunal, which is made up of business people and tax experts (in an effort to ensure that it is independent of HMRC.)
GAAR was originally intended to apply mainly to income tax and corporation tax but also ended up applying to:
- Income Tax
- Corporation Tax (including amounts chargeable or treated as Corporation Tax)
- Capital Gains Tax
- Inheritance Tax
- Petroleum Revenue Tax
- Stamp Duty Land Tax
- Annual Residential Property Tax
More information can be found at the HMRC resource centre, which offers more than 150 pages of guidance, despite the actual legislation only being 8 pages long.
How Is GAAR Affecting Contractors?
It is too early to say, but there is still a great deal of concern in the contracting community as to how implementation will be handled. James Abbot of the contractor accountant's Abbot Moore noted last year that:
"The legislation says that HMRC's guidance must be taken into account when determining whether a particular tax strategy is abusive. Not surprisingly, there is considerable concern amongst the tax community that HMRC has such a big say in the process … in the current climate of anti-avoidance bordering on anti-tax planning, 'reasonable' can be a loaded word, open to interpretation."
According to Abbot, GAAR was intended to attack the more abusive and aggressive tax avoidance vehicles and arrangements, not the average run of the mill taxation plans.
Sure, They Say That Now…
And that's the problem right there. HMRC may only be aiming at high-end abusive models right now, but there is no guarantee that HMRC wont come after the lower salaried contractors in the future. It's not as if they don't have form in that department and contractors are understandably cynical about the future. Abbot cites the example of New Zealand, which also used GAAR legislation:
"The GAAR in New Zealand is even more loosely worded than the UK legislation. There it was used by the local revenue to go after two surgeons who had set up a limited company. It successfully reversed the tax savings they had made."
