Skyway Aviation Handling Company (SAHCOL) Managing Director Mr. Rizwan Kadri believes it is good that some states are considering having cargo airports.But he advises that the airports must have amenities to facilitate exports. Kelvin Osa-Okunbor met him.
Some states are building cargo airports to promote agro-allied exports. What should be done to ensure they succeed?
The cargo sub-sector is one of the most prominent, viable and promising of all the sectors in the aviation industry; most of the airlines earn a lot of revenue from this sector. Yes, it is a good idea, but then, merely announcing cargo airports without adequate facilities will not work. So, whatever they are doing has to be planned. Building cargo airports where you have the farmers but without infrastructure, such as good road network around them, cold room, as well as other storage facilities, will be tantamount to mere jamboree.
The government has announced plans to privatise some of the major airports. How should this be done to avoid the inefficiencies in previously privatised entities?
It's a good plan, but it has to be done well because private models have worked everywhere. One thing to avoid is selling these infrastructure to friends or people without the requisite capacity to operate them efficiently. Airports are not just for commercial interest, they are very sensitive facilities for the country; the airports must not only be good, they must be user-friendly as well. So, everything you do here must be well planned.
When you privatise, the government relaxes and the private operators take the ownership, put in their money and manage them to make profit; they will not like to have any undue interference because his money is involved. Private airports will really work if they are planned well.
What are the effects of the foreign exchange regime on the cargo handling sector?
Forex has huge effects on the cargo business. Since Nigeria depends largely on imports, the exchange rate problem also affects imports because what an importer spends on commodities before has now doubled. As a result of this, every item that comes into the country has become expensive since our international trade depends on the dollar.
The airline business is further compounded by the Central Bank of Nigeria's new forex policy, which makes it very difficult, or almost impossible for foreigners operating in the airline industry to repatriate their earnings. The exchange rate has led to a significant drop in the volume of imports into the country. Imports is paid for mainly in dollars; so if somebody bought a product last year and the same product is costing almost double this year, what will he do? And because the cost of importation has gone so high, the market is low, even some of the traders have stopped importing.
Why is it that over the years the cargo sub-sector of aviation has not been active in contributing meaningfully to the economy?
You see, during the oil boom, people tended to neglect this sub-sector. However, due to the dwindling oil prices, coupled with the downturn in the country's economy, exports have become one of the major factors and cargoes always play major economic role for any country. The link between getting the stuffs in and out of any country is cargo related, whether air freight or sea freight, you need the cargo operation to succeed. So, basically, cargo plays a very important role in aviation. My vision for cargo is to have a fantastic cargo operation that will play its expected role in the light of the current financial challenges Nigeria is facing.
Last year, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) ranked Africa, particularly Nigeria, low. Why? How do we improve on it?
A lot of factors are responsible for it. First, the government never promoted the cargo business. During the oil boom era, people made so much money from there but neglected other areas including the cargo sub-sector. Export has not really played its expected role before now because no serious and conscious efforts have been made in the past to promote it. What should have constituted the bulk of Nigeria's export are agricultural produce, but like I said, conscious effort was not made in the past to promote it because of over dependence on petrol export.
How can this imbalance be corrected?
To correct the imbalance, basically, the government should look out for more exports. It should motivate its people, who I see to be very hardworking. When a country has that, the country has an asset in that it has an industrious and rich population that could readily provide the needed labour. When this is done there would be more than enough to engage the cargo operation.
Secondly, for exports to thrive there should be a lot of incentives given to the farmers so that they can produce more for export. The roads, transportation and connectivity are not so good to bring in goods to Lagos or the nearest airport; the storage facilities are not there; all these have to be put in place. Besides, a lot of backing from the government is required. We need a lot of government support for the aviation industry to grow; we have to do something about the customs duties that are very high; help the farmers out, have production within the country for export, identify key countries we want to export to. Above all, government has a role to play in encouraging the cargo sub-sector to grow.
The IATA has raised concerns over high airport taxes and charges in some African countries, including Nigeria. How is this affecting cargo and ground handling business?
Interestingly, this observation has been on for a long time. It has been a huge area of concern for investors in the aviation sector. I think IATA has passed the message across, the way the message should be couched that African countries need to do something about prohibitive chages and taxes. If government does not do something urgent about this, the negative impact on the industry is dire. I am convinced that the relevant agencies, have noted the concern and are doing something to address the situation .
In Nigeria, I am reliably informed that a committee set up by the government on airport charges and charges as it affects all operators is being looked into and I am sure the matter will be resolved to make the operating environment friendly. When charges are too high, it does not encourage cost recovery for any investor.
In Nigeria, ground handling companies are already feeling the impact of high charges and taxes. The way to go for me, is that the relevant agencies of government should engage operations in line with global standards to fix charges and taxes that would achieve a win win situation. That for me is the way to go. If the industry is feeling the impact of high taxes and charges, this has a huge effect on costs of running the business.

George Behrens, a Registered Nurse in the Perry Memorial Hospital Emergency Department, is the winner of the November 2017, DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurse. The Daisy Award is awarded quarterly to a Perry nurse in deep appreciation and admiration of compassionate care. The recipient is nominated by patients to honor all a nurse does, who they are and how they provide an incredibly meaningful difference in the lives of people.
On Wednesday, December 13 at 9 a.m. amidst family and co-workers, George was coaxed to attend the Daisy Award Ceremony for his recent contribution of the handmade flower cart donated to the Daisy Award Committee. Little did George know he was the recipient of the quarterly award. When his name was announced, he was humbled. When George's nomination was read, a tear streamed down his face.
The nomination submission highlighted George's compassionate care, "I have often been a patient at Perry Memorial ER and other services, whether it was I who was in the ER or one of my family members, George has always been an excellent calming, caring and informative nurse. He and all the staff at Perry Memorial make me extremely grateful for all of their care and support for myself and my family."
George Behrens began at Perry in 1989 as a CNA while attending nursing school. Twenty-six years later he fondly recalls his first six months as a floor nurse with Jan Pistole and how those first six months evolved to his position as Emergency Room nurse. George explained, the ER back then would see about three to four patients a week. One of the local doctors would be on call and they would be notified by phone (all were within two minutes of the hospital) they were needed at the hospital. While the doctor drove to the hospital, patients received preliminary testing and were prepped so when the doctor arrived he was able to tend to the patient. George said, "wait time is about the same today as back then."
George attributes his nursing skill set to the early years of his ER nursing career. George says, "I learned a lot by performing physical assessments and learning how to determine what a patient needs or does not need. I've experienced plane crashes, gun shots, even stabbings the same as larger hospitals, just not the volume."
Today Perry's Emergency Department volume sees an average of 10-15 patients a night. George's ability to listen to patients and hear what they say their problem is, along with years of experience and wisdom, helps him provide a starting point for the Emergency Room doctors. George believes the patient can guide you down the pain or ailment path. He says the key is to know and understand how to read the trail and continue to reassure the patient along the way.
George is a graduate of Princeton High School and completed an Associate's Degree in Nursing in 1991. George is married to another Perry employee, Luann Behrens. They are parents to five children and grandparents to seven grandchildren. George has a true passion for the Emergency Department; he always tells everyone that he is the luckiest guy in the world because he loves his job and has a great family.
George says, "I wake up every morning looking forward to the day in the ED. I am not a planner, my day is filled with spontaneous events and I live in the moment of the day." George enjoys a philosophy, 'life is what you make of it, don't dwell on the small stuff and make the most of every day.'
The non-for-profit DAISY Foundation is based in Glen Ellen, CA, and was established by family members in memory of J. Patrick Barnes. Nurses may be nominated by patients, families and colleagues, and they are chosen by a committee of nurses at Perry to receive The Daisy Award. Awards are given throughout the year at presentations in front of the nurse's colleagues, physicians, patients and guests.
To nominate a Perry Memorial Hospital nurse, please download this form and email to: email@example.com.

It's been snowing off and on all afternoon in Maple Leaf, usually lightly, sometimes not.
Unlike south King County and Pierce County, we aren't expecting much more snow – today. There is a short-term forecast for up to a half inch, but it's to the south of us.
The real news is the cold. Expect temperatures to drop below 20 degrees tonight, and not to break the freezing point Friday.
And by Saturday night? Sixty percent chance of … snow.

Posted by Pymatuning Charge on Thursday, January 22, 2015
I recently read about a new church start that was purchasing a McDonald's franchise to be located within the building. Not unlike the picture above, they had done their homework and determined that they could draw a larger crowd by catering to the mainstream culture. I have also read about, and spoken to, some of the pastors of "MEGA" churches. Some of their comments concerning what they had provided within their churches shocked me. One such comment concerned "Fear" of standing in judgement before God after having only entertained the masses, with few of them ever developing a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
As I assess the current trend of Church attendance in our town, and in the country in general, I note that something has indeed changed. We are fewer in attendance these days. Fifty years ago almost everybody in small town America attended church, because if you didn't, everybody knew it and you became the talk of the town.... These days, we find ourselves so busy with the stuff of life, that we seem to have forgotten a basic concept, that we were created. We did not just develop out of some slimy ooze, but were formed in the image of our Creator. We have a relationship from the start. We will have a relationship in the end. There are many reasons for the changes, but I believe the underlying root cause of the problem is a lack of a "Personal" relationship with the Lord.
The big question is, what will be the form of that relationship? Will it be very personal or only a passing one. Personally, I am terrified of the consequences of only having a "passing" relationship with God. I find myself at the start of 2015 desiring an ever more personal relationship with my Lord Jesus Christ. I want to become so close that I know His every thought, and He mine... to be totally in love with Him. I attend church often, not just because I am the preacher, but because I want to learn more about Him and especially to thank Him for all He has done for me.
I wonder, back in the hay-day of Christianity and Church attendance in America, just how many of the attendees were actually developing a "personal" relationship with the Lord. Were they truly thankful, and, were they passing on their faith with their family members. Perhaps what we are witnessing in our Churches today is the revealing of the remnant of those who truly believe. Perhaps the "chaff" is being removed. My prayer for you is that you are the wheat and not the chaff. Persevere, the rewards are out of this world (Nice cliche). Until next time, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Archive for the 'Daily Mail' tag
News organisations must innovate or die
This post was originally published at PBS IdeasLab on July 8th 2010.
People in news don't generally think of innovation as their job. It's that old CP Snow thing of the two cultures, where innovation sits on the science not the arts side. I had my own experience of this at the American Society of Newspaper Editors conference in Washington a couple of months ago.
After one of the sessions I spotted an editor whose newspaper had adopted hNews (the Knight-funded news metadata standard we developed with the AP). "How's it going?" I asked him. "Is it helping your online search? Are you using it to mark up your archive?"
Before I had even finished the editor was jotting something down on his notepad. "Here," he said, "Call this guy. He's our technical director — he'll be able to help you out."
Technology and innovation still remain, for most editors, something the techies do.
So it's not that surprising that over much of the last decade, innovation in news has been happening outside the news industry. In news aggregation, the work of filtering and providing context has been done by Google News, YouTube, Digg, Reddit, NowPublic, Demotix and Wikipedia…I could go on. In community engagement, Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter led the way. In news-related services (the ones that tend to earn money) it has been Craigslist, Google AdWords and now mobile services like Foursquare.
Rather than trying to innovate themselves, many news organisations have chosen instead to gripe from the sidelines. Rupert Murdoch called Google a "thief" and a "parasite." The U.K.'s Daily Mail has published stories about how using Facebook could raise your risk of cancer,, referred to someone as a "Facebook killer" (as in murderer), and runs scare stories about Facebook and child safety. And let's not even start to take apart various news commentators' dismissive attitude towards Twitter.
When they have seen the value of innovation, news organizations have tended to try and buy it in rather than do it themselves, with decidedly mixed results. Murdoch's purchase of MySpace initially looked very smart, but now, as John Naughton wrote over the weekend, it "is beginning to look like a liability." The AOL /Time Warner mashup never worked. Associated Newspapers in the U.K. have done slightly better by making smaller investments in classified sites.
Most news organisations do not see innovation as a critical element of what they do. This is not that unexpected since they spend their day jobs gathering and publishing news. Unfortunately for them, if it doesn't become more central to their DNA they are liable to become extinct.
Speed and Unpredictability of Innovation
At last week's Guardian Activate Summit, Eric Schmidt, Google's CEO, was asked what kept him awake at nights. "Almost all deaths in the IT industry are self-inflicted," Schmidt said. "Large-scale companies make mistakes because they don't continue to innovate."
Schmidt does not need to look far to see how quickly startups can rise and fall. Bebo was started in 2005, was bought by AOL in 2008 for $850 million, and then was sold again this month to Criterion Capital for a fee reported to be under $10 million.
The problem for Schmidt — and one that is even more acute for news organizations — is the increasing speed and unpredictability of innovation. "I'm surprised at how random the future has become," Clay Shirky said at the same Activate summit, meaning that the breadth of participation in the digital economy is now so wide that innovation can come from almost anyone, anywhere.
As an example he cited Ushahidi, a service built by two young guys in Kenya to map violence following the election in early 2008 that has now become a platform that "allows anyone to gather distributed data via SMS, email or web and visualize it on a map or timeline." It has been used in South Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo, India, Pakistan, Gaza, Haiti and in the U.S.
He might also have cited Mendeley, a company which aims to organize the world's academic research papers online. Though only 16 months old, the service already has over 29 million documents in its library, and is used by over 10,000 institutions and over 400,000 people. It won a prize at Activate for the startup "most likely to change the world for the better."
The tools to innovate are much more widely available than they were. Meaning a good idea could be conceived in Nairobi, Bangalore or Vilnius, and also developed and launched there too, and then spread across the world. "The future is harder to predict," Shirky said, "but easier to see."
That's why Google gives one day a week to its employees to work on an innovation of their choice (Google News famously emerged from one employee's hobby project). It is why foundations like Knight have recognized the value of competition to innovation. And it's why Facebook will only enjoy a spell at the peak.
Some Exceptions
There are exceptions in the news industry. The New York Times now has an R&D department, has taken the leap towards linked data, and published its whole archive in reusable RDF. The Guardian innovated with Comment is Free, its Open platform, and the Guardian Data Store. The BBC developed the iPlayer.
The Daily Telegraph had a go, setting up "Euston Partners" under then editor Will Lewis. (Although setting up an innovation center three miles away from the main office did not suggest it was seen as central to the future of the business.) The project was brought back in-house shortly after Lewis left the Telegraph in May 2010 and has been renamed the "Digital Futures Divisio
But mostly people in news don't really do innovation. They're too focused on generating content. But as the Knight Foundation has recognized, doing news in the same old way not only doesn't pay — it doesn't even solve the democratic problems many of those in news are so rightly concerned about. For some people FixMyStreet.com or its U.S. equivalent SeeClickFix is now more likely to give them a direct relationship with their council than the local newspaper.
News and media organizations have to realize that they are in the communications business, and being in that business means helping people to communicate. Giving them news to talk about is a big part of this, but it's not the only part. The sooner they realize this and start to innovate, the better chance they have of surviving the next couple of decades.
The Mail's 'Saddam Hussein strategy' and a growing public backlash
The Daily Mail is suffering yet another public backlash – this time over the Triesman affair. Following an unprecedented response to Jan Moir's piece about Stephen Gately the Mail now finds many people were not impressed by its publication of the 'Triesman tapes' that led to the FA Chairman's resignation and has – by many accounts – significantly damaged the chances of England's 2018 World Cup Bid.
- There are 1,427 comments beneath the Mail's story 'The woman who could cost England the 2018 World Cup: FA chief quits after 'mistress' tapes him accusing Spain and Russia of trying to bribe referees' (accessed 19/5/2010, comments now closed) – many of them not complimentary:
'Dear Editor of The Mail, Congratulations, your paper is about to be as popular as The Sun is in Merseyside' RKiran, London, 19/5/2010
'Can't believe your stupidity! Thanks for loosing us the world cup. Why would anybody from the birthplace of the game want to take it away from us in one quick blow! Just because you choose to print the actions of one man, didn't you think about the hundreds of people working flat out to get us the world cup. Or the millions of people you have just broken the hearts of?' Baxter, Swadlincote, Derbyshire, 19/5/2010
'So who exactly is helped by this "expose"? What higher purpose is served by publishing it? Millions of pounds and thousands of hours of effort, plus the chance of a £3bn boost to the British economy, ruined by your insatiable desire for xenophobic tittle-tattle. What a vile, pointless hack-rag yours is' Gary, Exeter, 16/5/2010
- There are 1,027 members of the Facebook group 'Boycott the Daily Mail and Mail On Sunday – Protect our World Cup bid'
- By Tuesday 55 people had complained to the Press Complaints Commission
- 84% of Talksport listeners who responded to an online poll believed the Mail on Sunday had been wrong to publish (according to Cahal Milmo)
- Gary Lineker quit his weekly column in the Mail on Sunday saying:
'I think it's a real shame the newspaper made the judgment that they did for short term gain in the sales of newspapers because it's hard to see that there was any other positive from it… I think this story goes against the national interest… [and] There's absolutely no question our chances have been damaged' (Lineker writing in the Independent)
The Mail apparently has a second batch of Triesman tapes (according to the Independent) but given that he is now gone and the paper presumably does not want to rub salt into the public's outrage, perhaps the paper will choose not to publish these.
The publication of secretly recorded conversations is far from new. The News of the World's Mazher Mahmood (the 'fake Sheikh') has engineered dozens if not hundreds of secret recordings of public figures – particularly footballers and football managers. People may still remember how he taped then England coach Sven Goran Eriksson, prior to the 2006 World Cup, saying that he would step down after the World Cup to manage Aston Villa.
The difference now is the ease with which anyone can record and store audio, video, photographs and text. Almost the only constraint on what you can record of our own – or someone else's – life is your own inclination.
The choice therefore becomes whether to publish. Such a choice is particularly acute for a newspaper that publishes to a mass audience, since publication is likely to have implications. It therefore has to base its decision to publish on:
- What interests the public – unsurprisingly, the primary driver for many news/media outlets
- What is within the law – a practical, if shortsighted, policy since the law can then be extended with potentially negative consequences for free speech (see UK privacy law)
- How it conforms to the paper's own principles – as outlined by the newspaper or a body like the Press Complaints Commission (the Mail says it adheres to the Editors Code of Practice)
- The public interest – open to many interpretations, but defined on Wikipedia as "common well-being" or "general welfare"
The Mail wants to infuriate people and stir up trouble. That's fine – more power to its sharp elbows. But it also wants to topple public figures – what one might call its 'Saddam Hussein strategy'. Virtually every week one or more of its columnists calls for someone's resignation (see previous post). The problem is, as we know from the UK's experience in Iraq, toppling a public figure just because you can is not much of a strategy. Plus, without thinking about the consequences you can find it doesn't do much good for the "common well-being" or "general welfare".
In the case of Triesman, for example, the Mail's defenestration has done more than derail one man's career. The 2018 World Cup bid is, by many people's reckoning, now looking decidedly shakey. Is this the sort of trouble the Mail wants to stir up?
Perhaps the public response to the Triesman affair, coupled with other recent responses, may make it rethink its Saddam Hussein approach. Or perhaps people will just stop buying the paper.

Free speech, press accountability, and the 'wisdom of crowds'
This is a piece I wrote this week for the Guardian's Comment is Free (published under the title, 'Between the lawyers and the mob'):
Last week was a good week for those of us who support press freedom and at the same time believe the press should be made more accountable. But it also raised difficult and rather disturbing questions about free speech and the future of press self-regulation.
The Guardian's courageous decision to challenge the remit of the Trafigura super-injunction sparked justified outrage in the blogosphere and "Twitterverse" and led to a climbdown by Trafigura's lawyers, Carter-Ruck. Meanwhile, Jan Moir's deeply offensive piece about the death of Stephen Gately, which alleged – with no evidence – that there was "nothing 'natural' about Stephen Gately's death" – provoked an even greater response on Twitter. Many of those offended (more than 22,000 of them by Tuesday morning) then complained to the Press Complaints Commission, in part prompted by Stephen Fry, Derren Brown and Charlie Brooker.
The Daily Mail did not apologise, though it changed the title, and removed advertising from around the piece. Moir did not apologise either, but after the unprecedented public reaction released a disgruntled statement suggesting her piece had been misinterpreted and that the public response to it was orchestrated (which raises the question, was the public response to the Jonathan Ross/Russell Brand episode not orchestrated?). The Mail also then published a follow-up piece by Janet Street-Porter that was critical of Moir. The case is now being looked at by the PCC.
Hooray, you say. Two victories in a week – one for press freedom and another for press accountability – what a result. Yet both episodes also raise worrying questions about press freedom, the current state of newspaper accountability, and the threat of mob justice.
In the Trafigura affair, it was striking that almost no newspapers (with the exception of the Guardian) spoke out strongly, despite the danger super-injunctions represent to press freedom. Indeed many newspapers remained strangely silent even after Carter-Ruck relaxed Trafigura's super-injunction. Nor was there a substantial reaction from formal bodies. The PCC did not say anything, despite in the past promoting itself as a defender of press freedom (even though, unlike its predecessor, it is not constituted to do this). Nor, outside Index on Censorship, were other industry bodies vocal.
The outrage at the Guardian gagging came from individuals, and was remarkably spontaneous and disorganised. Twitter provided the platform for people with common views to come together. This was exciting and tremendously heartening, but showed how few formal institutions there are to protect press freedom despite the significant and growing threats it faces.
The Moir case, on the other hand, illustrates how little accountability there is at some newspapers. If you were offended and wanted to complain, what options did you have? The Daily Mail has no readers' editor, and no formal complaints process that is publicly accessible in the newspaper or on its website. The only reference to the PCC on Mail Online is not linked to from any other page on the site and is therefore, to all intents and purposes, invisible. This is a newspaper whose editor is the chair of the PCC's editorial code committee and who sits on the PCC's appointments and funding body, Pressbof. Yet his newspaper lacks the most basic public accountability mechanisms.
And, if you escalated your complaint to the PCC, as thousands did, you would probably find yourself equally dissatisfied at the outcome. This is not the fault of the PCC's secretariat, who are diligently working their way through the largest number of complaints over one article in their history. Rather it is due to the rules that artificially limit the complaints they can accept, and the limited sanctions available to them. All 22,000 of these complaints can, according to the rules laid down by the industry, be rejected – since they are considered "third party complaints" (complaints not made by someone directly referenced in the article). In this case, the PCC has said it will consider the complaints and write to the Daily Mail for a response. However, when that response is a small apology tucked inside the paper, many will feel the Daily Mail has got off considerably more lightly than, say, the BBC after the Ross/Brand affair.
This means you are left with the wisdom of the crowd – also known as mob justice. It seem appropriate and proportionate when you happen to agree with it, as in this case, but will seem decidedly unjust if you disagree.
Unless newspapers take more responsibility for their own content, give people the opportunity to complain and respond adequately to those complaints, then they – and their journalists – will come under increasing criticism and attack from the blogosphere, the Twitterverse and other social media. Similarly, unless news organisations protest about the misuse of injunctions, actions such as Trafigura's will become even more difficult to prevent. We do not want to find ourselves in a situation where free speech is constrained by expensive lawyers, nor one where it is dictated by the mob.

From auto crashes to animal bites, people are hurt by the negligence of others in various ways. However, it is important to point out that some people become victims of slip-and-fall accidents, which often happen unexpectedly. Antonioni & Antonioni Law Office knows that some people who become injured after falling down had no way of knowing that a surface was slippery or that it was dangerous to walk in a particular spot. Sadly, these falls can leave victims with an overwhelming amount of physical, emotional and financial pain in Leominster and across Massachusetts.
What are some benefits workers' comp offers?
On a daily basis, people are hurt in many different workplace mishaps. Sometimes, a worker may sustain an injury while on a construction site, while other accidents involve repetitive strain and falling debris. Regardless of the field you are employed in, if you suffer an injury at work it is pivotal to go over your options at once. In Massachusetts, and all across the U.S., these injuries have upended many lives and can also make life challenging for the relatives of those who are hurt in a jobsite accident.
Spousal support modifications in Massachusetts
Divorce may be the end of your marriage, but in many cases it is not the end of your relationship with your former spouse — at least, not legally speaking. Many divorces conclude with a judge handing down some form of decree that lays out guidelines for spousal support obligations.
Types of OSHA violations
Employers in Massachusetts are required by law to follow certain procedures and regulations to keep their workers safe, and these are controlled by OSHA. There are a number of ways a company may violate these regulations, and there are strict penalties for doing so.
Changing child custody arrangements
Divorced parents in Massachusetts spend a lot of time determining the best custody arrangements for their children. Based on a number of factors the parents, or court, decides on an agreement that serves the child's needs in the most effective way. Overtime, one or both of the parents may want to change the arrangement, and there are different considerations for this to occur.
Responsible ways to resolve holiday parenting time disputes
With the holiday weekend finally before us, there are so many family friendly things to experience. Some will take time to see "Despicable Me 3." Others will plan outings to the beach, while others will enjoy the simplicity of just doing nothing and let the weekend decide what to do.
Digital assets may be included in estate plan
A person considering estate planning in Massachusetts may want to include provisions concerning an individual's digital assets. Digital assets are a form of property scarcely conceived of in past decades. As stated by the Uniform Law Commission, digital assets include documents and account data. Digital assets encompass various types of files stored on a person's local device, such as documents, photos or music, as well as intellectual property on web sites, data on social media accounts, and other data or documents stored in the cloud. Several states have enacted a form of the Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act (Revised UFADAA) but Massachusetts has not.
Does unpaid child support have tax consequences?
On this blog, we have gone over some of the ways that family law issues can affect taxes. For example, if you and your spouse divorce, your filing status may change, and you could be impacted in many other ways. In Leominster, and in other cities throughout the state of Massachusetts, there are other tax-related matters that may arise following a divorce. For example, if you are obligated to make child support payments and fall behind, you could face tax consequences.

Smokestack Lightnin' Home Page -- The Blues Profile Page
Born in 1974 in Blumenau, South of Brazil, Alex Rossi
met the Harmonica in his childhood. On the way to school as on the road
which he followed to visit his grand-mother, was the only harmonica
factory of the Three Americas. He often goes to the factory to observe
the birth of instruments … but no one seemed to be able to play it and
the young Alexandre will wait to be 13 years old to put the lips on the
cold metal of his very first harmonica.
From amateur bands to Jazz festivals (he shares the stage, among others, with Hermeto Pascal), Alex deepened his knowledge of musicality. At the age of 18, he goes in tour to Buenos Aires, Argentina, and at the age of 21, he takes the road of Dallas, Texas, USA.
The experience will fill him up and turn him into an accomplished professional musician.
During that time, the young man plays with great names of the Blues circuit as Hash Brown, Smokin'Joe Kubeck, Holland K. Smith, Tutu Jones, Lucky Peterson, Texas Slim, and the legendaries Sam Meyers, Robert Ealey(Alex toured with him in Texas and Oklahoma), Curly "Barefoot" Miller and Magic Slim. Sharing the stage of the Tulsas's Blues Festival with Buddy Guy, Koko Taylor, Carey Bell and Roy Roger.
When he tries to go back to Texas, after visiting his familly in
Brazil, he remains blocked on border and sees himself refused to enter
the USA. The terrible decision seems not to slow down the artist, well
decided to go of the front.
Four times, he was invited as a regular stage musician on Phil Guy's tours across South America.
In 2007, he records he's first solo album 'Let Me In' with TopCat Record label from Texas and gets established in Buenos Aires, Argentina … more gigs, more studio performances with many more musicians.
In 2008, he gets established in Antwerp, Belgium, he's debut album is reissued by Blues Boulevard – Music Avenue and he records a duet album with the guitar player Greg Wilson called 'Accoustic', with TopCat Record

A single system design study examined the impact of a Rites of Passage program upon truant, black middle school students. SETCLAE, a model Rites of Passage program was utilized as the intervention. Data were solicited via facilitator's process notes, questionnaires, and pre and post tests. Baseline and intervention data were compared resulting in a pragmatic reduction of most subjects truancy rate. It was theorized that truant students exposed to their African-American heritage within the school system would result in the students eagerly attending school. The outcome of the program indicated the subjects improved on school attendance and arriving on time.

DotCom Bot
Find domain names & @ usernames fast on Slack & FB Messenger
#5 Product of the DayJuly 26, 2016
You need to become a Contributor to join the discussion.
Hi all! I had an idea: what if you could look up domain name availability without ever leaving Slack? And you could even query whois info or get links to buy the domains too. So I set out to build something with Slack's new message buttons and it actually works quite nicely. I also went ahead and built it on Facebook Messenger too. And then I added support for looking up username availability on the big 5 social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Instagram and Pinterest). Give it a try and let me know what you think! And before anyone asks, I built this with Claudia Bot Builder https://github.com/claudiajs/cla... :)
@decktonic thanks for telling how you built it. Why did you choose Claudia over all the other bot builders out there. Have you tried other?
@terkelg I built a few bots in plain Node.js on Heroku and did one with the Serverless framework (also runs on AWS Lambda like Claudia). Lambda seems really cheap (even compared to Heroku) and more stable and I thought Claudia looked interesting (it promised to be easier to set up and definitely was much much easier than Serverless) so I decided to try it out. For something that just transforms input and returns a response it's good... if I was going to make something that stored context and added other features I would probably not use Lambda at all. Also my wife's name is Claudia so I think there was some subconscious bias in my decision :)
@decktonic amazing reply! Thanks Christian
Karim@karim_t · Tech enthusiast. Curious Mind @memgaphDB
Nice product :) How does it work on fb? I'm typing in domains but it's not answering.
@karim_t Hi Karim, somehow DotCom started experiencing errors overnight and now it's not working... it still works fine on Slack though! I'm fixing the FB bot as we speak :)
@karim_t OK it's working again :) and I will be monitoring it throughout the day.
Maya Prohovnik@mayafish · Product & operations at Anchor
Idea: have this slack me one available .com domain a day :)
Alan NicholHiring@alanmnichol · Co-founder at @Rasa_HQ
very cool! I had an itch to build this myself, but this is very nicely executed :) great stuff
Subhash Medatwal@findsubhash · Entrepreneur
Sounds good. I use Instant domain search for this purpose..A lot helpful when need to choose name of project based on dotcom availablility. https://instantdomainsearch.com/

Something weird is going on. It is possible I am living in an alternate universe. I mean, I have been in my room all day. I have had little to no contact with anyone from the outside world. I know that Heidi is now speaking spanish and Red Cross' internet has been acting up more than usual, so that is something. Anyway, a while back I hopped on the google analytics boat. I just wanted to see how my blog was holding up in numbers on like a monthly basis. Well, I went to check it today and it looked different. The first thing I thought when I saw it was, "great, my analytics screwed up just like it did with Heidi and Solo." But I took a deeper look. What had actually happened was that on September 2nd, I had 242 views. 242 views!? Now, I know that this may be a normal occurrence for some of my fellow bloggers, but my numbers never get this
high. What's that all about? I normally only hang around in the 20's. So that was weird.
Not to mention that my visits from around the world have really spiked up, especially in South America where I have become some kind of internet sensation in Brazil, and they speak Portuguese. I suppose I should learn the language and blog for them. Next time I will. Anyway, I am fairly positive that there was a glitch somewhere in the system. I plan to report it to google right away. This is pretty much unacceptable. Now my chart does not look as organized. Ugh.

This is one of the activities we have tried from the list at Fisher-Price's Joy of Learning website. It was done when Little B was around 15 months with some help from Mom.
Box in a Box – nest different size boxes within each other and hide a prize or toy inside the smallest box.
It was a lot of fun to watch Little B figure out how to open each container. Spoiler alert: the "prize" was a banana that fit inside this container. 🙂
Once all the boxes are nested, it was time to open it up and find the banana!
Found it!

Fla.'s Newest University Elects Board Chair, Vice Chair By wfsunews • Aug 1, 2012 UF College of Education UPDATED Wed., Aug. 1, at 6:36 p.m. The formation of Florida's 12th and newest public university, Florida Polytechnic, comes after protests from several lawmakers and many at the University of South Florida, whose polytech program is being phased out with the creation of the new university. On Wednesday in Orlando, Florida Polytech's board of trustees met for the first time to learn just what's expected of them and what challenges might get in their way.

Vegetable tanning
Vegetable tanning is an artisan tradition that the tanneries associated to the Genuine Italian Vegetable-Tanned Leather Consortium have handed down from father to son for over 200 years, using both antique recipes and state-of-the-art technology.
The transformation from raw hides into a material that will resist throughout time is a process that slowly happens into wooden drums, in full respect of man and the environment. An astonishing process based on the use of natural tannins extracted from chestnut or Argentinean quebracho trees, on modern technologies and machineries and, mainly, on the slow passing of time... all the time necessary. Nearly forty days are actually needed to transform raw hides into unique vegetable-tanned leathers.
Among the various tanning methods, the vegetable tanning is still nowadays the most classical, the most traditional, the most recognisable, the only one able to give leather unique characteristics, the most natural, the most environmental-friendly. It is able to join comfort and look, fashion and tradition, uniqueness and versatility of the product. For all these reasons, the vegetable tanning belongs both to the past and to the future of mankind.
The vegetable tanning process is based on the use of tannin, active ingredient responsible for the transformation of the animal hide into a compact and resistant material durable through the years, properly called cuoio (vegetable-tanned leather). This natural substance can be found in many different trees and vegetables, in variable concentration according to the different species. It is sometimes contained in the bark, others in the leaves, in the wood or in the fruits as well as in the roots. These natural tannin extracts (namely chestnut- and quebracho tree-) make the vegetable-tanned leather unique, immediately recognisable and easily distinguishable from leather tanned with other methods: also the scent of vegetable-tanned leather is something inimitable. It perfectly combines with that of the human body generating a feeling of confidence and naturalness in a person's mind that unconsciously tends to prefer it among other materials.
The modern tanning industry uses tannin extracts in liquid form or in powders. The most common and antique of them is the quebracho tree extract, a tree indigenous of Argentina. From its bark a characteristically red-coloured powder can be obtained that gives the leather un unmistakable warm and brilliant shade together with a compact texture more resistant against water and atmospheric agents.
Vegetable-tanned leather absorbs the traces of our living, it becomes older without ruining. The natural ageing does not compromise its resistance and gives it a vintage look with warm colour shades showing evidence of being a natural product. No leather looks like any other, its peculiar characteristics offer a wide range of possible interpretations in shape and design. Designers can find a material able to add value to a project of fashion, consumers can find a product overcoming fashion and trends and gaining value with the passing of time.
Vegetable tanning is a working process taking inspiration from nature and - in full harmony - to nature going back. Vegetable tanning means materials safeguarding human health, result of the combination between craftsmanship and up-to-date technology, tradition and new research, always following the principle of a continuous improvement. Vegetable-tanned leather productive cycle is strictly monitored to ensure a low impact on the environment:
• No animal is killed for its skin. On the contrary, the raw hides used by our tanneries are the discarded by-products of the food industry producing meat for human consumption.
• Being tanned with natural tannins, a vegetable-tanned manufact can be easily recycled at the end of its life, thanks to its chemical-biological characteristics.
• Our tanneries have made huge investments in depuration systems and waste recycling that make them work in full respect of man and the environment.
• Many of the substances used during the tanning process are recovered, recycled and reused in different fields. Hair removed from raw hides is transformed into agricultural fertilizer; sludge produced by the depuration plants is reused in the construction field to make bricks.
• Vegetable-tanned leather, recognizable from its trademark, does not contain any toxic substance such as azo-dyes, nickel, PCP or chrome VI and is highly tolerable for those who suffer from metal related allergies.
At last those consumers who care about product's quality and environmental protection have a reference trademark when they buy their leather products!

Installing a backsplash in your kitchen can make your kitchen clean, the cleaning will be much easier. Learn how to do this
Great ideas to DIY your own backsplash.
Installing a backsplash is an easy way to spruce up your kitchen without the hassle and cost of a complete remodel. And, of course, the best part is you can DO IT YOURSELF! Here's how and a few great examples!
1. Vent Hood
Remove the current vent hood, making sure to turn it off and disconnect the electrical wiring before you do. You can do this by yourself, just make sure you're very careful because it can be a little tricky.
2. Adjoining Cabinets
Remove the adjoining cabinets of the hood using a screwdriver. Make sure you have someone hold the cabinet as you unscrew so it doesn't fall off. Keep the pieces together so you don't have to put a puzzle back together when you're done!
3. Clean and Prep Walls
Wash the walls you will be adding the backsplash to with a non-sudsing solution. Then sand the walls with 100-grit sandpaper. Be aware that if you're home was built before 1978 it might have lead paint, and you should not sand it. Instead, use paint de-glosser.

Electrokate replied to rkimple's topic in Pioneer SchoolI've been out of the loop for a while, and am now working at a high school similar to Pioneer in population and needs. We have a safe space for this tank if it is not in use, or if another system built similarly is available. Needs would be similar to those at Pioneer-a sturdy lockable stand and hood, acrylic tank. I can supply corals and care for the system. I have not formally gotten approval for it yet, am just seeing what the possibilities are at this point. Could someone get back to me at my school email address and let me know what I need to do to get my proposal off the ground formally and if this is possible? Thanks, Kate Breimayer email@example.com
Spots on my mushrooms and torch
Electrokate replied to AcanLord's topic in General DiscussionI had those about 4 or 5 years ago I think, and decided they were most likely Waminoa sp. Tried melanurus and yellow coris wrasses, no dice. I think you are right about them eating copepods. Unfortunately they were immune to flatworm exit and another brand of similar product. I finally treated the tank with something that killed them but it killed all my pods, brittlestars and other worms too and it took years to get those back, I still only have a few. I think dipping new corals is a good idea for them. Anyone successfully treat them with a product that is not so harmful? Here is a link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convolutidae Kate
Looking for corals
Electrokate replied to hunterrcs710's topic in Want to Buy / TradeI'm in SE near Foster and 205, and I need to cut back my green Sinularia colonies if you are interested. 20 bucks, your choice of stalks, some are huge. Also have mushrooms, ricordea Thanks, Kate
Kate u got mail
Electrokate replied to wanareef's topic in General DiscussionThanks, sent PM. I don't use tapatalk or get online every day, sorry! Kate
The rock with both zoas and the R florida is gone, as well as a few other Ricordea. PowderBlue spoke up for the Red Planet piece and I still have mushrooms for Sergio, another person is coming for Ricordea, but I will still have some baby blue yumas and multicolor floridas I think. I am cutting frags if people want fresh cuts of the acroporas or green Sinularia, and made a few more frags while waiting of odd stuff. Probably will do a new thread next weekend with updated stuff. Still got plenty of Stylophora pistillata in various sizes. Thanks everyone!
Thanks! I take about 20 bad shots for every good one, sure glad I am shooting digital not film At this point the RO unit, shrooms, ricordeas, large Red Planet frag, and zoa/ricordea combo are pending. Forgot to mention too that I will take fresh cuts off my neon green sinularia if anyone is interested. Small 10, medium 15 large 20. By "small" I mean a piece that would be 30-45 in a store.
I am not getting about half of my PM's, please reply directly to this thread or let me know you sent a PM so I can PM you back if I don't get the message...
Hey, I did not receive your PM, could you resend and check the name?
Well last December was going to shut down a tank and liquidate but we had so many storms, got pneumonia, and found my SPS were suffering from low alk and not ready to move so I got back into my tanks and no longer want to liquidate. I do however need to thin things out quite a bit and raise money for the stunning heating bills I got! The SPS are growing into eachother, it's out of hand. I do have cyano and vermetid snails in both tanks so if that's a deal breaker sorry! Location wise I am in SE Portland near the Foster exit from I-205. I only have a few fish bags so if possible bring your own, a bucket might also be good for the larger things. Waterway Tiny Might pump $50 used one year Bulk Reef Supply RO unit with 3 prefilters and DI resin post membrane. Has TDS meter and pressure gauge. No idea what the condition of the membrane is but was getting TDS 7 water out of it, guessing the resin is overdue for changing and the prefilters are fairly new but stored wet... I use tap water in all my tanks $50 ORA Red Planet frag $65-will be taking the large top piece that sticks up like a wing off the main colony, think it's about 5" wide, 4" tall and 2" viewed the other way.. Ask if you want it pre cut and healed or prefer fresh cut. Fresh cut is the best way to avoid algae and vermetids but riskier. Large pink tip Cat's Paw colony/Stylophora pistillata $70 approx 6x5x4" maybe a little more Cyphastrea colony $60 approximately 6x3x4" This is an aggressive grower-would look great covering an old dead skeleton of something but away from other corals including LPS. Color varies with lighting and Alk/Ph but I don't think it's a genuine Meteor Shower, it never got that saturated for me. Idaho Grape branching/plating montipora. Under very high light this will grow vertically, better purple color under LED's or higher in the tank. This piece approximately 8x5x5 $45 (cheap due to sand killing part of the flat area at the base, fragile at edges) Ricordea florida multicolor, orange, green $15/head Multihead multicolor R florida with zoanthids $25 Baby blue Ricordea yumas $10/head $5 if small. Picture shows 2 smalls on a shell, behind that a small, a large and a tricolor R florida on one piece of rubble. I also have a full size one on a newer clean frag plug in the other tank. Sunset Mushrooms 2 polyps on frag plug $20 color varies from mostly orange to mostly green depends on lighting and age Seafoam mushroom on frag plug $10 Another pink tip cat's paw $50 approx 4x4x2.5" Fresh cut Acro frags on request
considering selling out my bowfront
Electrokate replied to Electrokate's topic in Classified ThreadsAfter thinking for 24 hours I decided since i really enjoy LPS and softies more than SPS and they are easier I am going to part out my 90 SPS tank instead and then cram whatever is left into that tank and shut down the bowfront. This is going to take some time, will have to photograph everything and price it and then will start a new thread. I got messages from people interested in the duncan and other good size colonies, am going to try and frag off 2 heads to keep and then price them. I can't figure out how to post photos on this forum but the pictures are here https://electrokate.smugmug.com/For-sale/
considering selling out my bowfront
Electrokate replied to Electrokate's topic in Classified ThreadsI am hoping someone will take the entire tank due to the lack of lighting, not to part it out, so first offers for the entire system will be given dibs. If i have to part out will start a second thread with photos I think... I have SPS galore in the other tank that I should sell and probably could buy the AI Sol ballast with the money from them and keep the tank I suppose. But it's probably time to give up.

considering selling out my bowfront
Electrokate posted a topic in Classified ThreadsHey, I have bills up the wazoo and a lousy income and now a light broke on my tank. Considering selling it. Anyone interested in a 72 bowfront that needs lights? Comes with sump, SWC cone skimmer, Ebo Jaeger heater, a korallia that works and another that spins backwards. Fish are one sailfin tang, one large Chromis atripectoralis, one male melanurus and one bangai. No snails or hermits. Corals are large and need fragging, mostly softies. This is an easy beginner tank that rarely has issues other than algae or vermetid snails which are currently in remission. I have no idea what to ask for it, is it ok to post a thread just seeing if anyone is interested in the whole thing? I'd also want to keep a frag off the gorgonian since I have had it over 10 years. Here't the last picture I took before the light died today... the sailfin is in my other tank, I want to keep the flame angel and yellow tang since I have had them over 10 years:
Nice stuff for sale! Red Gonis, Ocean Revive and more...
Electrokate replied to Lexinverts's topic in Classified ThreadsHi, do you still have the light? My AI Sol just bit the dust...
