But your screenshot only shows the bottom part of the form. If there's an error, then that means you haven't filled all the required fields to the form. Did you?
My test to your form is working fine. Please take a look at the following screenshot:
As you could see, the thank you message appears and that means the form was successfully submitted.
Please make sure to review the entire form and make sure you have filled all the required fields.

Banbridge Academy were simply too strong in all departments for a brave Antrim Grammar side as the Mid Ulster side cantered through to the second round.
The home team had built up a 19-0 lead by half-time.
Banbridge made their intentions clear from the kick-off when their winger, Michael McGaffin scored an unconverted try in the first minute.
The home side were controlling the set piece plays, as well as affairs at the breakdown, in the early stages of the game.
It came as no surprise when Ben Carson displayed sublime skill before he touched down for a try after 15 minutes.
Daniel McElderry converted the try to put his team into a 12-0 lead.
Banbridge Academy captain, Matthew Bell, was leading his team well and he showed great qualities before he scored the third try of the game just before the break.
McElderry was successful with his conversion kick to give his team a 19-0 lead at the interval.
It was more of the same for Banbridge in the second half.
Their talented scrum half, Jay Pinion, ran in for a try three minutes after the re-start. McElderry converted the try to extend the lead to 26-0.
Four minutes later, McGaffin ran in for his second try of the game - McElderry again converted.
In spite of the best intentions of Antrim players JJ McKee, the Mawhinney brothers, James and Robert, team captain, Matthew Dunne and his backrow colleagues, Jacob McCollum and Daniel McGrandles, there was little they could do to prevent further scores for the home side.
Banbridge second row forward, Peter Heaney, trundled in for a try which McElderry converted.
With just five minutes of the game remaining, McElderry scored his team's seventh try of the game - but failed to convert.

Tuesday was the first time that us commoners (non-beta elitists) could take a bite out of the FIFA 16 apple with the free three day demo. Thanks to my new hardwired 50 mbps connection I was able to download the demo in just under 20 minutes instead of the typical 2 hours. And with that I was locked into the game for a solid three hours neglecting my family, children and dogs trying to accomplish four main objectives: experience FUT Draft, distinguish what works/doesn't work on the pitch, identify if they addressed any of my presentation issues from FIFA 15 (and prior) and test drive each of the elite players in the game to see if the ratings are valid.
I immediately went to FUT Draft because I had to see what all the hype was about. I've played Draft Champions on Madden 16 and I've thoroughly enjoyed that mode despite not really liking Madden all that much in general. Everything that is presented to you in regard to FUT Draft in the demo is fantastic but remember looks can be deceiving. For starters FUT Draft is not free so expect to open your wallet and spend some coin to participate. Secondly every FUT Draft that I've been in has had a ridiculous amount of superstar players. I've gone through six drafts now and I continue to see the same cycle of players. This is making me think that the pool that was released into the demo is much smaller thus more likelihood to get elite rated players. In other words I haven't pulled one silver and there are players who are noticeably missing from FUT Draft – no one from Arsenal, Juventus and "common" clubs like Everton, Stoke City or Newcastle for starters. Below is the number of times each player has appeared in my FUT Drafts so far:
- 5 – Neymar/Vidal
- 4 – Cavani/Kompany/Boateng
- 3 – Suarez/Robben/Courtois
- 2 – Messi/T. Silva/Kroos
- 1 – Ronaldo/Bale/Hazard/Aguero
- 0 – Ibrahimovic, Angel Di Maria, Paul Pogba, Wayne Rooney
One of my biggest learnings in FUT Draft is to not freak out if you don't get the player you want on the first go around. In my experiences you'll have plenty of opportunity to get the right fit through your bench if you don't get the CDM you want at the CDM position round. My best draft (the video below) I got extremely lucky and my entire squad was loaded and I reached 100 chemistry on the first round of the starting XI which included both Ronaldo and Messi. Other times I was stuck with a player who I thought would blow up my chemistry (Gundogan) but then magically the CM I needed (Rakitic) appeared on the bench round and all is right.
Another thing you should think about is what players are more linkable than others. Meaning if you are going to select Edinson Cavani who is on Paris St. Germain of the French Ligue 1 and of Uruguayan decent you're limiting your chances of a green link because his traits are narrow. Conversely it might be better to choose a more globally accessible striker like Diego Costa who is in the Premier League and from Spain. If you search through the databases there are certain nationalities (Brazil, Spain) that are more common that others, the same with leagues. Sometimes passing on a higher rated player and dropping slightly to get someone more flexible to players around them is the way to go. Building around your captain is always a smart choice as he's the cornerstone for your squad. I also suggest that you select your team from front to back (striker to goalie) because it's easier to tailor your defense once your forwards and midfielders are set. It's much harder working from goalie to defense and up because chances are your captain will be a goal scorer.

Now that I've gone through the fluff lets get into the core of FIFA 16, the actual gameplay. There is a lot to love about the new style of FIFA 16 and also some things to be desired which is expected. First and foremost the passing is fantastic. No longer can you wildly and blindly ping the ball around and expect the ball to find a player. You need to pass with purpose and direction or else you're going to set yourself up for failure on defense. I learned this the hard way when playing a match and gave the ball away deep in my zone and seconds later a Zlatan Ibrahimovic goal. The passing absolutely feels real – the pace, the direction, the physics of the ball all are true.
While ground passing is significantly improved, lobbed through balls and crossing passes are much harder to connect with the target. You need to make the right type of cross (far post or near post) in the right location in order for someone to get a head on it. It's especially difficult on corner kicks where it used to be a given that you'd score and now it's a rarity. I'm okay with this because crosses are very difficult to connect in real life so this creates a more sim feel. Sending crosses to smaller players should rarely work and the ones who are aerial threats like Ronaldo and Suarez only score a fraction of the time anyways. With the Cross & Header technique taking time to master it's only going to promote more users pushing for speed, skilled dribbling and long shots. Thankfully the lobbed through ball success rate seems to have declined as the computer AI has improved and the defender will jump in the air to head the ball away.
On the bright side (I hope, I really do pray) that the days of users holding down sprint the entire game are nearly over. Let me clarify, you can use that approach but your players are going to be exhausted and wore down. I've tested a few players with high pace (Sterling and Neymar) and ran them like crazy around the field both on and off the ball. They were dead tired by the 70th minute with their energy meter in the dark orange approaching red. This is bad news for Ultimate Teamers who load up their squad with speed only players and go above the legal limit for turbo drunk levels. It's great for the rest of us. A more realistic stamina meter will hopefully bring more balanced and competitive matches along with a new found importance of who is on your bench. If you want to play Sergio Aguero like a mad man for 75% of the game go ahead but he's not going to be fresh down the stretch so you better have a bench option ready for the final haul.
The hardest part that I'm getting used to is the shooting. It feels completely different than FIFA 15. The majority of my shots end up being finesse even though I'm going for power. (I guess I shouldn't be holding down R2?) I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong but something has changed and the aiming is even more critical than ever before. The rocket shots from outside the box look to be the exception and not the rule. I think for the first time that shot power rating actually makes a difference. You can't just rip from beyond the box with Andres Iniesta and expect the same result as Tony Kroos.
The overwhelming majority of the goals scored in my FIFA 16 games have come from more tactical and strategic shots. Lionel Messi putting the ball on his left foot and curling it over the keeper's outstretched arms into the far post. Don't worry the near post cheekyness is also alive and well. Chipping the keeper is a bit more difficult than in versions past and don't even think about using a player's weak foot from distance if he doesn't have weak foot ability. I tried that with Cesc Fabregas and the shot was a wounded duck.
The biggest complaint about the FIFA series has been the defensive gameplay. In some editions the defenders are world class and make every single play. They never commit fouls, they deflect every pass and they body players off the ball with a Thor like strength. Other versions have had defenders standing around picking their nose in the outfield like a Little Leaguer only playing because his parents made him. This version of FIFA has a delicate balance between the two and I'm not sure I'm in love with it. (Shocker I know…)
The good news is that defenders are human and they make mistakes, the bad news is that defenders are human and they make mistakes. It's a double edged sword, you'll love it when it goes in your favor and you'll curse the game when it doesn't. At first I was thrilled that defenders weren't able to deflect every pass that was until Dani Alves whiffed on a pass that lead straight to a computer goal. One area that has improved immensely is the defenders ability to block shots. More than ever the defender will throw their body in front of a shot to keep it from going on goal. This eliminates the probability for goals and long shots but increases the corner kick count giving you more possession. I'd also assume hand ball calls might go up but I've yet to see one.
The other piece that has appeared to change is the tactical defending action when holding down X or O. It's very hard to chase down the ball and create pressure. The advantage is with the passer and a lot of times the defender is running around ragged like he's playing "monkey in the middle". Even playing the computer on beginner as a test was much harder on defense than ever before. It's going to take many games and many hours of game-play to hone my skills on defense. There is no way in hell I'm ready to step into Ultimate Team or an online setting right now. For what it's worth it's also very hard to rage slide tackle an opponent so those of you that enjoy that aspect of the game you better choose your spots strategically.

The jury is out on the full presentation until the game is released but from what I see in the demo my two biggest issues have not been addressed. The first being they have not changed the same antiquated and archaic instant replay system since FIFA 09. There is no reason that when you switch to the "orbit" camera mode that you cannot free form the focus anywhere on the pitch. Madden has it, NBA 2K has it, NBA Live has it, MLB the Show has it. Yet FIFA continues to make us lock onto a player, ball or referee and only zoom losing focus on the majority of the image.
The screenshots you'd be able to take and share to promote the game would be astronomically better if they used the free form instant replay system to let you navigate anywhere. You just can't get a solid screenshot with the focus points unbalanced. Take the image below for Iniesta on the ground why can't you center him in the middle of the screen? Or the Ronaldo dribbling image from earlier where you can't really get a close up view because you have to be far enough back to get the entire body in the frame. It's silly and I refuse to let this point go.
The second issue I have is once again with the instant replay system. When you are playing the game one of the most fun aspects of the game is goal celebrations. Hell FIFA even promotes them and adds new celebrations each year. You can see the replay during the actual game but 9 times out of 10 when you pause and go to instant replay the celebration is cut out of the reel. After the ball hits the net you have about 2 seconds of footage before it cuts out which eliminates any celebration. Now I've had times where I have been able to capture some celebrations but again it's not a guarantee and it seems to be very random. This should be an easy fix because everything was fine up until FIFA 14 or FIFA 15. Just change it back please.
After Day 1 I was convinced that Ronaldo being rated a 92 and Messi rated a 94 was a travesty. It felt like Ronaldo was so much more superior on the field than Messi because of his size and strength. What I realized was that we shouldn't be caught up on ratings all that much. There are just some players you play better with than others. We see it in Madden and MLB the Show, you have a comfort level with some guys and clunkiness with others. I happen to love Ronaldo's style and I find it difficult to consistently maximize Messi's skills. Others would absolutely disagree.
Below are some screenshots from the demo on the detailed player ratings of both Ronaldo and Messi. At the end of the day you can't go wrong with either player. It's like choosing steak or lobster you're going to win regardless of who you take. Other players that feel over-rated or not deserving of their rating to me: Andres Iniesta, Tony Kroos and Cesc Fabregas. A few players that I think play above their rating are James Rodriguez, Arturo Vidal and Arjen Robben who is already a 90.

Pakistan today ( click here to read the original story ) broke the news that according to declassified CIA documents, the assassination of the first Prime Minister and one of the founding fathers of Pakistan was ordered by CIA and carried out by an Afghan assassin.
According to the documents, the United States wanted to get contracts of oil resources in Iran. Pakistan and Iran enjoyed cordial ties and Afghanistan used to be an enemy of Pakistan during 1950-51. The neighbouring Afghanistan was the only country that did not accept Pakistan at that time.
The US demanded Pakistan use its influence in Tehran and persuade it to transfer control of its oil fields to the US.
Liaquat Ali Khan declined to accede to the request, saying he would not use his friendship for dishonest purposes and not interfere in personal affairs of Iran.
On which, then US President Harry Truman had threatened to Liaquat Ali Khan. Not only that, Liaquat Ali Khan also demanded that the US vacate air bases in Pakistan, dropping a bombshell on Americans.
Following the development, American started search of murderer for assassinating Khan. They did not find a suitable person in Pakistan and then turned to Afghanistan for this purpose, according to the documents.
The audio recording of his last speech is present and the sound of 2 shots which assassinated Liaquat Ali Khan can be heard clearly.
Pakistan got independence from British imperialists in 1947, the very next year, founder of the nation Muhammad Ali Jinnah passed away and in 1951 Liaquat Ali Khan was assassinated. Following the assassination of Liaquat Ali Khan, the country saw political turmoil which came to a halt when martial law was imposed by General Iskandar Mirza.
Had Pakistan been allowed to be moulded into form by her founding fathers, the outlook of this country would have been different today. American establishment has to understand that us Pakistanis are not anti-American, we are anti-any one who wishes to impose their will upon us by force- .
CIA ,MOSSAD, RAW and KHAD have always meddled in our internal affairs. Pakistani`s are still trying hard to wrestle out of the grip of these foreign masters and their puppets who have been installed over us. We haven`t forgotten how Isreal had F-16`s ready to strike on our nuclear reactors back in 90`s. Whenever Pakistan`s sovereignty has been under threat, we have been alone, our so-called allies,except a few have always deserted us in times of need. Yet still we have held our own, since 1947 and will continue to do so.
Rest in Peace Liaquat Ali Khan ( Shaheed e Millat – Martyr of the Nation )

Our lodge is not a building. It is rather, a collection of craftsmen, performing their labors.
Our beautiful lodge room is useless to us if it is empty. The Brothers make the lodge. In
order to be successful, we need our members to come out to lodge. This year we have placed an emphasis on masonic education. Capitalizing on the knowledge of our own brothers, and reaching out to brothers from other lodges who can speak about masonry in ways that improve our understanding of who we are as masons we have presented several very informative programs.
Our Christmas Party and Robbie Burns Supper were very well attended. Now we are looking towards the spring and summer at events that will bring us together. Those plans include a repeat of our Wives and Widows Luncheon, which was very well received last year. We are also looking at having a Family Picnic, and maybe even a family trip to Yankee stadium. We will go gray for the summer months and before we know it, fall will be upon us and we will be looking at what our line of officers for 2019 might look like.
One area where I have heard from several brothers about is our responsibility to our
fellow human beings. Beyond the Robert Burns night, we have not done much work for
charity. This is part of who we are as masons. There are two ways we demonstrate
charity as men. One, by raising money for charitable causes or providing services
(labor) for them. The other is through our personal contributions toward the relief of
others. Please come out to lodge and join our discussions as we look at ways to meet
this important obligation as masons.
Brothers, I cannot stress enough how much each of you mean to the craft. I invite you to
come out to lodge. Join with your brothers to fulfill your obligations as men and masons.
Experience what caused you to approach the alter of masonry in the first place.
Connect with your brothers and be a better man for it. I know I will be.
Looking forward to seeing you at lodge.

In all stories and legends, there are great heroes, villains and leaders; those who fight beyond the call of duty and beyond the boundaries of normal endurance. These heroes instil courage and fervour in their followers; leading them to great victories and on to greater glory than they could have possibly achieved through their own endeavours.
These are the characters that add colour and a little bit of bite to any army and the Grymn armies should be no exception.
Where to start
The starting point should always be at the bottom. Why? Because there is always the tendency to have characters and leaders that are super powerful and indestructible. That is completely inappropriate and can also completely unbalance the army that the character has been created to join.
Of course; once you have started building characters, you can build up to the more powerful ones but you will do so after understanding the strengths and weaknesses of those lesser characters and that will help you build a better, higher level character that will not unbalance your army but will enhance it.
When building characters there is a need to set them apart from the normal, run of the mill NCOs and officers of the army. These characters will have unusual characteristics or be able to do unusual things that a normal leader won't be able to. Just think of the British leader, Winston Churchill. He was just a man...but put him in front of a mass of people and he could turn them into an unstoppable army just by talking to them and inspiring them to greater things. Storming Norman Schwartzkopf instilled pride in his men by being in the field and leading from the front. Montgomery, Rommel, Colonel H. Jones and many more, inspired their troops to great deeds...but they were just men. They weren't super heroes and they weren't wearing powered armour or being protected by force fields...
...but the men who followed them would follow them to the sun and fight on its searing surface as a result of the pride they held in their inspirational leaders...
Private Baharry...an inspiration to the country. He was just doing his duty but had such drive that he fought off wounds that would ground a normal man and rescued members of his unit before succumbing to unconsciousness. He was just a man...but in a word, he is a hero and would make an excellent basis for a character in an army.
I have posted this as a forward to some character ideas that will follow on. They will range from the lowly leader to the Grymn who originally escaped from the Sleiti and led his people to freedom in the stars. There will be great generals, powerful orators and strategists beyond compare.
Watch this space...

Many home owners are faced with problems associated with foundations shifting. Their houses suffer from: uneven floors, doors that won't close because of distorted door frames, and unsightly cracks in walls, ceilings, and basement floors. In some instances the cracking is so severe that remedial measures are required. The information on this page aims to provide a good understanding of the underlying cause of these problems so that an appropriate corrective action can be applied.

Why House Foundations Shift
The shifting of house foundations is related to the soil on which the foundations rest. Winnipeg, for example, is situated on an old glacial lake bottom. The lake, known as Lake Agassiz, was formed as the last continental ice sheet, which covered most of North America, melted and retreated northward. The ice sheet prevented natural drainage from occurring, and consequently, a lake was formed behind the ice sheet. The lake, approximately 180,000 square miles (465,000 sq. km's) in area, covered parts of Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, North Dakota and Minnesota.
Spring flood waters flowing into the lake carried soil in suspension. The coarse particles (sand and gravel) were deposited near the mouth of the rivers and streams and the finer particles (silt and clay) were carried out into the lake where they ultimately settled. Each year a few millimetres of soil were added to the thickness of the lake bottom.
Eventually the continental ice sheet melted and most of the lake drained away. A few smaller lakes and ponds remained, the largest of which is Lake Winnipeg. The drainage took place about 7,000 years ago and the lake bottom has since compressed to provide a firm competent formation, capable of supporting small to medium sized structures. In the area where Winnipeg is situated, the thickness of the silt and clay varies from about 15 to 40 feet (4.5 to 12 meters).
The significance of the existence of Lake Agassiz insofar as house foundations is concerned, is that a surface deposit of silt and clay was left behind. Most clays, and certainly those of the Lake Agassiz basin, undergo volume changes as the result of changes in soil moisture. A decrease in soil moisture is accompanied by shrinkage and an increase in soil moisture is accompanied by swelling. Typically, a layer of clay one foot thick could undergo a one inch change in thickness as it goes from a completely dry, to a completely saturated state, or vice versa. Thus, foundations located within the clay are susceptible to movement when the soil moisture changes.
The volume changes resulting from both shrinking and swelling of fine-grained soils are often large enough to seriously damage small building and highway pavements. Estimates are that shrinking and swelling soils cause from 6 to 11 billion dollars of damage annually in the United States and Canada, which, to put things in perspective, is more than twice the annual cost of damage from floods, hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes combined.
Swelling pressures of 10,000 lbs. per sq. ft. have been measured. Ordinarily such high pressures do not occur but modest swelling pressures of 2,000 to 4,000 lbs. per sq. ft. are common. For comparison an ordinary building weighs something on the order of 225 lbs. per sq. ft. per story.
Why Soil Moisture Changes
The causes of soil moisture changes, which affect the performance of house foundations, may be placed into three categories. They are:
Changes in climate and vegetation
Post construction landscaping and watering
How these causes affect the soil moisture and the foundations, is described in the following sections.
Climate and Vegetation
Obviously, high temperatures and high winds accelerate evaporation of soil moisture. The effects of vegetation are less obvious. On the one hand, vegetation tends to decrease the rate of evaporation and the loss of soil moisture through a modification of temperatures and wind velocities at ground level, but on the other hand the roots extract moisture from the ground thus increasing the loss of moisture. The National Research Council of Canada conducted a study of soil moisture changes and associated ground movements at two sites in Winnipeg. Their findings show that in the period 1962 to 1966 soil moisture changes were greater in fallow areas than in grass-covered areas and that large trees accelerated moisture loss from the soil.
Construction of homes usually alters the natural environment at the site, which can aggravate soil moisture changes. For example, clearing the site of trees and shrubs may reduce the rate of loss of soil moisture. Consequently the soil moisture increases and the soil swells. This may continue for several years until a new moisture balance is reached.
Clay soils also undergo volume change due to "soil rebound". This movement results due to the elastic nature of the soil. When a basement is excavated for a house, the weight of the soil removed is much greater than the weight of the completed house. As a result the soils which were originally compressed by the weight of the excavated soil are free to swell, much like a compressed spring suddenly released.
Perhaps the severest change in soil moisture is that associated with basement construction. Commonly there is a delay of several weeks between the time the basement is excavated and the concrete floor slab is placed. In this interval there is continual evaporation without any moisture replenishment, causing the soil to shrink. After the slab is placed, further evaporation is prevented and there is a progressive increase in the soil moisture causing the soil to swell and the floor slab to heave. The swelling and heaving may continue for several years after construction.
Landscaping and Watering
Landscaping which involved changing the type of ground cover, as well as the slope of the ground surface, is bound to precipitate soil moisture changes by changing the pattern of runoff. An undesirable condition that is quite prevalent around houses is a depression in the ground surface adjacent to the basement walls. Moreover, backyards are often sloping toward the house. Consequently during spring thaw or intensive rainfalls, the runoff water collects adjacently to the foundation and makes its way to the footing level through cracks in the soil or between the soil and basement walls. This increase in the soil moisture beneath the footing causes the soil to swell and the footing to heave. The condition is particularly severe if an intensive rainstorm is preceded by a dry spell.
Sloping the ground downward toward the street increases runoff and consequently less water infiltrates into the soil, particularly during brief, intensive rainfalls.
Planting trees and shrubs increases the demand for soil moisture and if the moisture is not replenished by rainfall or watering, soil shrinkage will occur. If trees are close to the foundation and have deep roots, they may cause foundation settlements by removing moisture from the soil, which causes the soil to shrink. Studies have shown that a tree may cause moisture loss in the soil within a radial distance approximately equal to the height of the tree.
Watering the lawn in a newly developed area may change the stress and soil moisture conditions in the soil causing it to swell and give a false impression of the house settling.
Common House Foundations and Related Problems
Most houses (in Winnipeg) are supported by one of the following foundation systems.
Spread footings beneath basement walls and columns
Slab foundation beneath the entire house
Pile Foundations
Spread Footings
This foundation system is the most common in Winnipeg. See diagram 1. A long strip footing supports the basement walls, individual concrete pads are used to support interior columns such as teleposts, and the basement floor rests directly on the ground. The foundation system is place at a depth of 4 to 5 feet below a ground surface which means that it is located within the depth of seasonal moisture changes and ground movements, and is therefore susceptible to movements. Moreover, different parts of the foundation system may move independently which can result in appreciable differential movement between several areas of the house.
A very common problem associated with this foundation system, is heaving of the floor slab. This can usually be attributed to soil moisture changes brought on by construction as previously described. The heave of the floor slab is generally sufficient to cause it to crack. This in itself is not destructive to the rest of the house, providing the heave is not transferred to the main structure. The transfer can take place through the central columns if they are not properly isolated from the floor slabs or through any interior partitions that have not been designed to accommodate the movement of the floor slab. If this transfer occurs, it can cause cracking of walls and ceilings, distortion of door and window frames, and uneven floors as illustrated. In some instances it may also lift the floor joists off the basement walls creating a horizontal crack opening along the top of the basement wall.
The strip footing may also heave as the result of runoff water collecting adjacently to the foundation wall, then making its way to the footing level and causing the soil to swell. Weeping tile, which is placed around the foundations, drains most of the excess water away but part of it soaks in to the soil.
Settlement of the foundations can occur as the result of the supporting soil losing its moisture and shrinking. This occurs during dry spells and can be aggravated by deep-rooted trees planted near the foundations. Foundation settlement particularly if it is uneven will cause cracking of floors, walls and ceilings.
What Preventive Measures Can Be Taken
Controlling soil moisture. As pointed out previously, the primary cause of house foundation movements is the shrinkage and expanding of the supporting soil as the soil moisture decreases or increases. It is impossible to prevent soil moisture changes from occurring but steps can be taken to minimize the amount of change.
Avoiding excess moisture can best be accomplished by watering lawns and shrubs, particularly during dry spells. To be most effective the watering should be done when the rate of evaporation is not excessive. Therefore, watering should be done in the late evening or early morning when air temperatures are near their daily minimum.
There is also less evaporation during a cloudy day than during a sunny day. To replenish lost moisture, a periodical heavy soaking is more effective than frequent light applications. Deep-rooted trees may require more frequent watering. Water may be introduced directly to the roots by auguring several small diameter boreholes Around the trunk of the tree and keeping these filled with water. the formation of deep cracks in the soil is a good indication that it is very dry and requires a heavy soaking.
To avoid extreme soil moisture increases at the footing level, measures should be taken to prevent runoff water from collecting adjacent to the walls of the house where it often finds its way to the footing through easily penetrated backfill. The ground surface should be built up around the house so that it slopes away from the walls. If cracks have formed between the walls and the soil, the upper part of the crack should be filled with a compressible material such as fiberglass insulation and covered with soil. When the soil moisture increases, the ground will expand and close the crack. See diagram 2 for proper and improper landscaping.
Down spouts from eaves troughs should be extended, or splash boards provided, to make certain that the rain water does not collect adjacent to the wall.
In a one-inch rain, 1250 gallons of water falls on the roof of a 2,000 sq. ft. house. Without proper grading, gutters, and down spouts, some of the water flows toward the basement.
To prevent weeping tiles from clogging, they should be cleaned periodically by pushing a garden house through the floor drain into the weeping tile as far as it will go and flushing out all the silt that has accumulated in the weeping tiles.
How Can Foundation Movements Be Accommodated?
As mentioned previously, it is impossible to prevent soil moisture changes and therefore some expansion or shrinkage of the soil is likely to occur. A floor slab resting directly on the ground is most susceptible to movements associated with soil moisture changes because it is large in size and very lightly loaded.
Many basement floors heave and measures should be taken to prevent this heave from being transferred to the rest of the structure. Partition walls that are built in the basement should have a gap or "float" between the wall and the floor joists above, to accommodate heaving of the floor. Alternatively the partitions may be suspended from the floor joists above, with a space provided at the bottom. Central columns such as teleposts which are either supported directly on the floor or concreted into the floor, should be adjusted as the floor moves. In some houses, the pads supporting the central columns as well as the columns themselves are isolated from the floor slab with a proper construction joint, so that the floor can move independently of the columns.
How About Corrective Measures?
Many homeowners are faced with the problem of knowing when a corrective measure is necessary, what type of corrective measure is required and if the measure will perform satisfactorily. As stressed throughout this article, if a home is supported on spread footings or a slab foundation, or if it is on piles but has a soil-supported floor slab, movements are likely to occur which can result in cracking of floors, walls and ceilings. These cracks do not mean that the structure is in any danger of collapsing and patching and filling of the cracks are only required for aesthetic purposes. Large cracks in the basement walls can be a source of water infiltration and therefore should be repaired.
The Influence of Trees on House Foundations in Clay Soils
Soil shrinkage caused by the removal of water by live trees can result in foundation subsidence; soil swelling caused by the recovery of moisture following tree removal can result in foundation heave or excessive horizontal pressures causing lateral cracking in the foundation walls.
Removal of a fully developed large tree near a foundation wall can cause serious damage to the wall. Before removing a tree consult with your Abalon Construction representative.
Trees, Clays and Climate
It has long been known that trees cause clay soils to shrink by withdrawing water through their roots in the summer. The amount of shrinkage depends on the type of clay soil, the type and size of tree and on weather conditions. Deciduous, broad-leaved trees extract more moisture than evergreen, coniferous trees; warm, sunny, windy weather causes greater moisture extraction than cool, cloudy, still weather. The amount of water available in the soil also plays a part in determining how much shrinkage will occur.
Proximity Of Trees To Buildings
One way to avoid root problems is to maintain a 'safe' distance between the tree and the building so that the tree cannot influence the soil beneath the building. A rule-of-thumb, which was based mainly on poplar, elm and oak trees in very highly shrinkable clay soil is that a safe distance is the expected maximum height of the tree.
Make sure eaves troughs and down spouts are in good working order.
Extend down spouts away from a house at least 3 feet and preferably to splash pads.
Slope soil away from a house.
Water soil around a house a least twice a week in dry years.
Water trees, especially in dry years.
Use caution in removal of trees.
Do not flood flower beds.
Make sure the window well drainage system is working properly.
If you have an underground sprinkler system, or inground pool, underground valves
and joints can leak. Check them frequently.

Hi, it's me…yeah I know it's been a while…
I was tagged to do a blog post by Aoife over at Pretty Purple Polka Dots to do a reading-related Q&A about two months ago. She even asked me before she tagged me because my blog had been left so abandoned and I said, yes I really need to get back to blogging, do tag me, I'll do it. Well here I am, but not as soon as I probably should have.
Do you have a certain place for reading at home?
Not really but my apartment is about the size of a shoe box so it's mostly curled up on the couch or the bed.
Bookmark or random piece of paper
Always prefer bookmarks but also always lose them, so in desperation, pieces of paper are acceptable. Anything other than dog-earring. I've used train tickets in the past.
Can you just stop reading or do you have to stop after a chapter or a certain number of pages?
I used to have to get to the end of the chapter but lately I've gotten better at just being able to stop and pick it up again.
Do you eat or drink when reading?
I can't concentrate on eating anything more than a biscuit or a chocolate bar with tea. Although a glass of wine is also welcome.
One book at a time or several at once?
It used to be just one at a time but at the moment for the first time ever I have several on the go from all different genres, which I think avoids confusion. I'm reading a non-fiction collection of articles from female journalists, a horror from Stephen King (of course), a Ross O'Carroll Kelly for comedy and I'm in the middle of a YA series.
Reading at home or everywhere?
Everywhere. Mostly on the bus, at home and while I'm having coffee or waiting for someone. I'm with Lemony Snicket on this one.
Reading out loud or silently in your head?
Silently. I'd be fascinated to meet someone who reads out loud over the age of seven.
Do you ever read ahead or skip pages?
Sometimes I sweep a descriptive paragraph, but I never really skip it, more graze it.
Breaking the spine or keeping it new?
I'm not answering that question, I think my stance on dog ears answers it for me.
Do you ever write in books?
See above.
What are you currently reading?
Night Shift by Stephen King, Downturn Abbey by Ross O'Carroll Kelly, The Ask and the Answer by Patrick Ness and Changing the Times: Irish Women Journalists, 1969-1981.

Port Elizabeth – At least one house has been razed to the ground as a runaway bush fire, driven by high winds, is burning out of control on the outskirts of a residential area in Port Elizabeth.
Safety and Security Mayoral Committee Member, John Best, confirmed that a thatched roof house in Chelsea Close had been destroyed. A second house that had been in the path of the fire was saved by hard pressed firefighters battling the blaze.
The fire started late on Tuesday afternoon and has quickly spread, with the situation aggravated by gusting gale force winds ranging between 60 and 88km/h, which is only expected to die down after 22:00 on Tuesday.
The fire is currently threatening to cross over into Lorraine, a densely populated area with a number of townhouse complexes.
Best said the municipality had dispatched all available hands to battle the fire, whose thick black smoke has covered the city in a dark haze, with flames visible from kilometres away.
"At the moment we have every available hand on sight, firefighters, Working for Water, even neighbourhood watch members are helping," he said.
Best also urged individuals who were not directly affected by the fire or who were not assisting in the firefighting activities to stay away from the area.

Best Ideas to Help You Choose the Best Modern Office Furniture
- 0.1 The best modern office furniture to choose should fit your budget and be both efficient and attractive.
- 1 Modern Office Furniture
The best modern office furniture to choose should fit your budget and be both efficient and attractive.
Unless your budget is quite low, look for good quality hardwoods for desks and shelving. Quality hardwoods such as oak and cherry will stand up to wear better than softwoods such as pine which can become easily dented and scratched. If budget is an issue, laminates, which synthetic coated particle board or wood products are such as are often used for kitchen cabinets, may be a good to make modern office furniture.
When choosing modern office furniture, it's important to look for value rather than just style.
Metal is an excellent alternative to wood or laminate furniture. Depending on the look you want, you could even choose bold color such as vivid red or bright blue for closed metal shelves, office chairs and work tables. Or, silver-colored theme of metal could be used throughout the office with one other accent color strategically placed on feature walls or even the carpeting. Modern office furniture shouldn't have stuffy or traditional look to it, but rather be innovative and fresh in its style.
You should carefully consider your options before deciding to go with orange sofas and a blue rug. It would be much better to use one of those colors mixed with different neutrals. Modern office furniture that makes the work space look fresh and new should be the goal; too much color and detail can defeat the purpose.
You don't have to stick with the idea of rectangular desk or worktable unless it would work best in your office space. Round or irregular-shaped tables can add interest to modern office. Rather than traditional leather or upholstered office chairs, mod-looking styles in fun shapes or metal may work well as long as you look for comfort and posture support. When buying modern office furniture, it's also important to keep the scale large by choosing big pieces rather than small ones, unless the work space is tiny.

Back-to-back shutouts by the Stanford women's soccer team last weekend have earned Cardinal defender Maddie Bauer the first Player of the Week honor from TopDrawerSoccer.com.
Bauer, a center back, played a total of 189 minutes as the Cardinal conceded zero goals against vaunted ACC opponents Duke and North Carolina. Bauer's play against a couple of young, but spry, attacks contributed significantly in a pair of wins for No. 7-ranked Stanford.
The Bruins are ranked No. 1 nationally and led by senior defender Abby Dahlkemper, the former Sacred Heart Prep standout from Menlo Park.
Field hockey
Stanford was ranked 12th in the Penn Monto/NFHCA Preseason Top 20 Coaches Poll, released Tuesday by the organization.
It is the second consecutive year Stanford received a No. 12 preseason ranking and the fifth straight year the Cardinal has earned a national preseason ranking.
Stanford will take on five teams ranked in the preseason poll, including No. 3 Connecticut, No. 14 Northwestern, No. 17 Michigan, No. 18 Delaware and No. 20 Iowa.
During the 2013 season Stanford climbed to a No. 6 ranking, matching the best in school history. The Cardinal was ranked No. 13 or higher throughout the entire season. The Cardinal, which has been included in the national rankings for all but one week over the past four years, concluded its season ranked 10th.
Stanford is coming off an impressive 2013 season in which it registered its fifth consecutive 15-win season, finishing 16-5 overall, and claimed its fifth straight NorPac West regular season title.
The Cardinal will open its season at home Friday against No. 18 Delaware at 3 p.m., followed by a Sunday matchup against 2013 NorPac champion Liberty.
The World Rowing Championships are under way in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and on Monday a pair of Stanford graduates took to the water for the United States.
David Banks, a 2005 Stanford graduate, and recent graduate Austin Hack helped make up the U.S. men's eight. The duo had to wait until the second day of competition for their first race, the second of two heats.
With Banks in the 2 seat and Hack in the 4 seat, Team USA got off to a good start and was just under a second behind Poland at the 500-meter mark. The U.S. slipped back to third place at the hallway point with Russia moving in front by 0.31 seconds.
Russia did not stay in second for long as the Americans took the second spot right back. That is where the U.S. finished as Poland held the lead throughout to automatically advance to the A Final with a time of 5:39.32. Team USA clocked a 5:42.27 and will now move on to the repechage and quarterfinals on Wednesday.
The final race of the day on Wednesday will be to see who will join Poland and Germany in the A Final and who will slide down to the B Final.

Radnor Baseball made a storied run to the State AAA Quarterfinals last year, where they fell to North Pocono, 5-1. This year they set their sights higher, with the talent to do so, returning seniors Charlie Connolly, Will Hoysgaard, Jack DeShan, Patrick McDermott, Brad Henkin, Joe Riley, Evan Zhang, and Jack Koons. They started off their season with a victory against Marple Newtown. Closing out 2-1, the Raiders closed their runs with sophomore Sean Mullarkey and Jack Deshan. Charlie Connolly recorded eight strikeouts in his five innings pitched against the Tigers, and that's all Radnor needed to start their season off on the right foot.
The worst was yet to come. The Raiders would give a up a three game lose streak immediately following their first victory. The first of which was against the Rams, at home. Although accruing a 3-1 lead within the first three innings, the Rams remained persistent, and took seven of the last eight runs of the game to close out 8-4. Jack Deshan and Mullarkey once again recorded most of Radnor's runs, with George Hoysgaard securing one to help out as well. Will Hoysgaard did the majority of pitching this competition, and all though earning five strikeouts, he gave up four of Harriton's big runs.
The Raiders went on to face the Springfield Cougars away, and took a shutout. Connolly took the pitching mantle once again, pitching 88 of the Raiders 104 pitches, and earned another five strikeouts, but the pitching of the opposition proved too strong for Radnor to overcome.
Penncrest dealt the Raiders a crushing blow, defeating them 4-1 on home soil. Radnor's away games were proving to be a problem, as only one run was put in by sophomore George Hoysgaard. On the other side of the plate, the older brother, Will, put in seven strikeouts and pitched 86 of the 99 Radnor pitches. The rest of the team contributed little, and the season was beginning to fall through their grasps.
The team however rebounded quite successfully, edging out Strath Haven at home 5-4 to start the spring break off right, Pat McDermott, Will Hoysgaard, and Connor Rinehart all put in a run, as Mullarkey once again produced for the team, putting in two more. The senior presence at the batting plate proved vital for the Raiders to end their losing skid. At the pitcher's mound, George Hoysgaard and Charlie Connolly shared more evenly, pitching 76 and 47 times, respectively.
The Raiders returned to an even record after recording their first away win of the season against Chichester, in a highly scoring game, 13-12. The 13 Radnor runs were contributed by eight different players, Six of their finally runs were scored in the 7th inning, and the Eagles were unable to fend them off at the bottom. The pitcher's mound gave opportunity to Brad Henkin, Nick Camposano, Matt Cohen and Evan Moore that day.
The age old rivals of Lower Merion will stood in their way April 19th, an away game which certainly got the hunger and the blood going for the youthful team. However, Lower Merion's athletic prowess does not extend to the baseball field, and the Raiders took delight in easily dealing them a 4-0 loss. Sean Mullarkey, Jack Deshan, and Will Hoysgaard scored their runs, For the first time in six games, Radnor broke into a positive record. But Garnett Valley was quick to change that. In an 11-6 game with five runs scored in the 5th inning, Garnett Valley took care of business away, and the team fell back to .500. Will Hoysgaard, Jack Deshan, Brad Henkin, and Nick Camposano all took to the mound that game, but Hoysgaard pitched the majority of the game.

Trevor Ashley talks like a Catherine wheel, with sparkling embers of camp flying off in a circular and constant motion. It's vertiginous to watch and a lot of fun, exactly what I've come to expect from a cabaret performer who embraces (in fact, positively sodomises) the suss-dog qualities of the form. There isn't a show tune in existence that Ashley hasn't heard, learnt and sung -" at least around his home and often on stage.
But Trevor Ashley the pop star, a pop princess no less, devoting a whole show to the oeuvres of Kylie, Madonna, Britney? Definitely, it seems, but definitely done in a very Ashley way.
For me the idea of the show came from not being stuck in the same thing all the time. There's only so much you can do with a boy and a piano, Ashley explained over coffee. I look to shows like Bette Midler's Divine Miss M shows and that's where I want to head, to more production-based shows that have a strong concept, with being able to play a character, not just me -¦ With this show it's all come true.
The show was written by Phil Scott with significant contributions by Ashley and director Missy Stephens, with 36 songs cut, pasted and sometimes presented with new lyrics. Given Scott's recent cosmetic surgery work on Orpheus In The Underworld, I'm both terrified and excited by the possibilities.
The character we've created that I play is a psychotic pop star and is kind of a combination of every pop star that ever lived, we have bits of everyone's life, Ashley said.
All the songs are his [and] everything in the show has happened to him, although the audience will know -˜oh, that happened to Britney Spears, or that happened to J. Lo or that happened to Kylie'. It doesn't matter, because it happened to me.
What about boy bands?
I was in a boy band. We recreate my boy band moment. Basically I had myself cloned at the place where Dolly the sheep was done -¦ and I became my own boy band. Although we had to of course break up when I found out that myself and I were having a horrible affair, and me and I just couldn't deal with it. So I had to have the other two destroyed.
The journey of Ashley's character is littered with the usual break-ups, breakdowns and breakdancing, with video footage filling in the career gaps. Kimberly Cooper makes an appearance in a faux-Home And Away clip, Maria Venuti appears as Ashley's Mum (in the tradition of Mama Eminem) and real clips of Ashley's work on Romper Room and Young Talent Time add a spooky verisimilitude.
Then, of course, Ashley has to dance, backed up by the Dazzling Trevettes and instructed by Kylie choreographer William Forsythe. This last part has been a little daunting, Ashley tells me, although the mad twinkle in his eyes suggests he's having a ball.
And of course, I even shorten my name at one point during the show, from Trevor Ashley to Tr. Ash. I become trash halfway through the show, he laughs, and I laugh too, watching him spinning around.

A voluntary employees' beneficiary association (VEBA) is a form of trust fund permitted under United States federal tax law, whose sole purpose must be to provide employee benefits.[1] Among the types of benefits with a VEBA may provide are accident insurance benefits, childcare costs, employee continuing education, the cost of legal services, life insurance benefits, severance pay, supplemental unemployment benefits, sick leave pay, training benefits, and vacation pay.[1][2] A VEBA cannot, however, provide commuter benefits, miscellaneous fringe benefits, or retiree income.[2] The plan may pay benefits to employees, their dependents, or their designated beneficiaries, or to disabled, laidoff, or retired former employees.[1][2] Clay Matthews Kids Jersey

Beneficiaries of a VEBA must have an employmentrelated common bond (such as a common employer), be covered by a collective bargaining agreement, or belong to a labor union.[1] However, if multiple employers share the same line of business and the same geographic area, they are considered to share the "common bond" specified by the law.[1] Jordy Nelson Jersey

A major use of the concept was implemented in 2007 when the United Auto Workers agreed to form VEBAs for their workers at the Big Three automobile manufacturers, thus relieving the companies from carrying the liability for their health plans on their accounting books.[6] The UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust, with more than $45 billion in assets as of June 2010, is the world's largest VEBA.[7] www.nflpackersofficial.com/Nike-Randall-Cobb-Jersey.html

"objects - custom" - they are objects created by you.
Then click OK button.
6. Now press "Finish" button. Popup will be shown and you need to wait until all metadata will be downloaded.

8. If you will need to add more metadata i.e. Page Layouts then you can edit properties of current project.
Click on project name -> Force.com -> Add/Remove Metadata Components...

Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me. – Matthew 5:34-35
I've never had to go hungry. I've chosen to go hungry, especially when the fare placed before me is something incredibly cheesy.
But I've never had to go hungry. Have you?
My task for today was to "hold a vision of plenty for all the world's hungry and be open to guidance as to how I can help alleviate some of that hunger." My God, that's a hard task.
It's a hard task to accomplish because it's an insurmountable task. It's strange that we live in a world with enough food for everyone and yet thousands of people die of starvation every day. Preventable starvation. Let that thought sink in.
Preventable starvation.
This isn't a place for facts, but if your having information withdrawal, search "Bread for the World" or "World Vision", organizations that specify in alleviating starvation and the suffering it brings. A word of advice: keep a box of Kleenex next to you.
I suppose I should point out the absolute ridiculousness of taking a single day to think about world hunger. One day? Really? I can think about my favorite issue of Superman for an entire day. But world hunger? That's a project for a lifetime.
I'm as complicit as anyone in the way I have used and abused food. No one needs 5 cookies in one sitting. No one needs more than 2 pieces of pizza. And no one ever needs to use food as a source of entertainment. I'm looking at you, Man vs. Food.
I don't have much to say about the way I've combated world hunger. I've worked with World Vision and other relief organizations, but always at a distance. However, I do have something to say about someone.
A good friend named Brian Beckman works with an organization called Play For Hope. They work with street kids and orphans of the Rwandan genocide.
And right now, at least 45 of those street kids are being run out of the home they've had where they lived off of trash and huffed glue to forget their hunger. Brian's doing everything in his power to raise enough money to provide food, water, clothing and shelter for these kids for a year.
Not all of us can go to Rwanda and work on the ground. But right from our homes we can support those who do. Do me a favor and check out this website and seek the guidance of the Spirit. Perhaps God might be calling you, like God has called me, to help the hungry by partnering with Play For Hope.
Look with pity, O heavenly Father, upon the people in this land who live with injustice, terror, disease, and death as their constant companions. Have mercy upon us. Help us to eliminate our cruelty to these our neighbors. Strengthen those who spend their lives establishing equal protection of the law and equal opportunities for all. And grant that every one of us may enjoy a fair portion of the riches of this land; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. - Prayer for the Oppressed, BCP 1979.

Wednesday 2 December 2015. It was a surprisingly sunny day as Linda and I set out for today's 3rd leg of the Rutland Round. My guess that it would be a just over 9 miles proved to be a little wide of the mark as my GPS tracked it as 10½ miles with a total ascent of just under 700ft.
Picking up where we left off last time, we set off from Lyddington as the church clock struck 10 and we made our way to Seaton where, after 2½ miles we stopped for coffee. There was a fine view of the railway viaduct from the road leading towards Morcott where, at the 5 mile point, we stopped for lunch. The last part of the walk through Barrowden and Tixover back to Linda's car in Duddington was a little longer than I had thought but was nevertheless pleasurable as we followed the course of the River Welland for a short while.

The smoke was so thick that neighbors said they could barely see.
"Are our kids safe? Are they going to live?" the woman said. "Because we don't know if they going to hit them or kill them or what."

The Rite of Spring
Susanna Mälkki, one of the champions of modern music, offers three contrasting and complementary works. From Los Angeles, where she is guest conductor, she is bringing Andrew Norman's Suspend, a tribute to Brahms and a contemplation of his inherent dualism as well as different types of opposites. Performed by the multitalented pianist Conrad Tao. From her native country comes Helsinki-born Lotta Wennäkoski's Flounce, a playful and elegant orchestral work. And then The Rite of Spring, which has enchanted and seduced both audiences and practitioners since its première in 1913.
Listen to Conrad Tao talk about himself as a pianist and about Andrew Norman's Suspend.
On May 29, 1913, when the cream of Parisian culture took their seats in the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, they were scarcely prepared for what was to follow. With The Firebird and Petrushka, Stravinsky had provided a hint of what he was capable of, but with The Rite of Spring, he offered music that was groundbreaking: unrestrained energy, eruptive vitality and bold rhythm streamed towards a dismayed audience. No-one previously had used the orchestra in such a daring way – the bow strokes stamped out syncopated rhythms, the French horns bellowed and the percussion raged in a cascade of unbridled ferocity. Today we are still amazed at the primordial power, inventiveness and imagination of this epoch-making work.
Stravinsky was an exceptional talent and the same can be said of pianist Conrad Tao. Five years ago, he performed at Berwaldhallen for the first time and this season we welcome him on three separate occasions. It is hard to believe that he is only 24 years old – his curriculum vitae reveals a musician with an impressive career behind him. He debuted as a concert pianist when he was only four years old, and Tao is certainly something of a universal musical genius: he is also a violinist and composer with several acclaimed works under his belt.
Award-winning composer Andrew Norman stands out as one of the most exciting American composers today. In Suspend, a fantasy for piano, Norman has been influenced by Brahms and two of his most central melodic motifs: F-A-E, Frei aber einsam (Free but lonely) and F-A-F, Frei aber froh (Free but happy). Norman has spoken about his work as a contemplation of "Brahmsian dualism". A reflection on opposites such as spontaneity and control, sentiment and structure, indulgence and self-control. Suspend premièred in Los Angeles in 2014 with pianist Emanuel Ax and conductor Gustavo Dudamel.
Los Angeles is currently one of Susanna Mälkki's places of work. She is the principal guest conductor of the city's philharmonic orchestra as well as chief conductor of the Helsinki City Orchestra. Mälkki has become known as a champion of modern music and was previously the music director of the Ensemble Intercontemporain in Paris. She is a much sought-after conductor the world over and was also the first woman to conduct the opera orchestra at La Scala in Milan.
Helsinki-born Lotta Wennäkoski studied at the Béla Bartók Conservatory in Budapest and at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki. Her work Flounce was performed at the Last Night of the Proms in 2017, led by her fellow compatriot, Sakari Oramo. Wennäkoski has said that she was fascinated by the English word flounce and its dual meanings, rush and ruffle. The music is characterised by fast movements as well as passages in a more ornamental style with a lighter and more poetic mood.

HIVE 2015 - A Look Back - December 27, 2015
Looking back on the year, one word comes to mind to describe it; amazing!
2015 and my time as Chair of Hamilton HIVE have been truly unforgettable.
We started the year with three major goals:
- to strengthen our member engagement
- to strengthen our HIVE brand
- and to acquire Non-Profit Organization status
Adding value to your YPN membership
Adding value for your members is important - especially if you are charging a membership fee - but where do you start? Is your YPN reaching its full potential? Here are some ideas for ways to add value to your member base.
Starting a YPN in your community? Great insight from a recently formed group…
Recently Hamilton HIVE welcomed our newest member group under our umbrella. In our five years of existence, this group is HIVE's lucky number 23.
The HIVE Executive and I recently met the Co-Chairs of the newly formed YPN. During our meeting, we discussed several helpful tips that would be useful to anyone wanting to start their own YP group.
Young Professionals Cannot Survive on Espresso Alone…
More than ever, Young Professionals are stepping up and playing key roles in organizations both within a workplace and on a volunteer basis. We are jumping in with both feet to better our communities, grow and contribute in the workplace, network and build relationships, contribute to causes we are passionate about and more. With the endless opportunities available to us, and the time commitment that comes with them, it is important to recognize that taking time to unwind is equally important as all of the other things we have on the go.
Summer and the living is Easy
With meetings and networking events taking a break to cool off from the summer heat, your social calendar may seem empty, leaving you to wonder how to spend your summer days and nights. Here are some easy tips to make the most of the season in the city you call home.
Five Tips To Nail Your First Networking Event
So you're getting into networking, and it's a little weird. You're nervous. I get it. We've all been there, and it's natural.
Young Professional's events are without a doubt the best place to begin your networking experience. Networking is a life skill, no matter your profession. Play with it. Have fun!
Think down the road.....far, far down the road. - Happy Canada Day!
Year after year, Canadians spend the 1st of July celebrating Canada and everything that it means to Canadian. This year was no different. As Canadians, we have so much to be proud of. The 148 year history has defined who we are as a nation and where we are headed. What we often forget, is all of the work, time and struggle that went into creating that history. Canada didn't just happen to become a great country…it happened because 148 years ago a group of individuals had a vision, worked together to make that a reality and then for almost a century and a half, Canadians have worked hard to mold Canada into a strong, proud nation.
Connecting a Disconnected Generation
As a graphic designer and a young entrepreneur, I am always looking at new ways to reach people and engage / connect with the community. It was by chance my career took me to London, where I saw great opportunity to do this. London is a city filled with creative talent and ambitious young graduates who are ready to tackle the world. So why is it that so many feel the need to escape London after they graduate? Don't get me wrong; originally, that is exactly what I had planned to do as well. Study, party, graduate, get out. But why is this? The thought that there is more potential in a city like Toronto? The rumours of no work in London? I think I was just discouraged.
Engaging your YPN: Prevent burnouts through member engagement
In speaking to other young professionals who have spent time volunteering on boards, committees or an executive, almost all have run into the same problems time and time again; there is not enough capacity to deliver objectives; members are busy; there often is a scramble for extra volunteers at the last minute. In a perfect world, anyone who becomes involved in an organization at a governance level also has the time to commit to board activities, however; life gets busy and often things fall by the wayside. Unfortunately, this is the nature of the beast and alternative tactics can be employed to ensure continuous growth of the organization or group.
