Beginning in the late 1990's the Simcoe District Health Council started consultation and planning related to regional programming for seniors. In 2009, under the leadership of the North Simcoe Muskoka Local Health Integration Network (NSM LHIN), the Seniors Health Regional Action Group was established and developed a Vision for an Integrated Regional Seniors Health Program to the NSM LHIN document. The 2009 Vision was completed over an eight-month period by leaders in seniors health from across North Simcoe Muskoka. Specifically focused on Specialized Geriatric Services (SGS), the document described a hub and spoke model of care, centrally coordinated and locally delivered. The Vision addressed the role of SGS in system-wide leadership; clinical service delivery; program development and standardization of practice; education, mentorship and knowledge transfer; research and ethics; and, advocacy.
Upon completion, the 2009 Vision was endorsed by the NSM LHIN and remained a guiding document for regional seniors health planning. While some programs emerged from this planning, others developed on their own through local and provincial initiatives to meet the growing pressures and demands of their communities. Across the region there was recognition of the need for change, interest in collaboration and a true desire to improve the patient experience.
In January 2013, the Ontario Ministry of Health & Long-Term Care released an action plan for seniors entitled Independence, Activity & Good Health. Within the plan, seniors were identified as a core element of the Ministry's transformation agenda. The plan included three goals - Healthy Seniors, Senior Friendly Communities and Safety & Security. 'Healthy Seniors' aligned with the 2013 report released by Dr. Samir Sinha. Within his Living Longer, Living Well report, Dr. Sinha made 166 recommendations regarding seniors health ranging from wellness and housing to specialized geriatric services and end-of-life care. In October 2013, in alignment with provincial directions, the NSM LHIN Board of Directors approved a plan to develop an integrated regional Seniors Health Program in NSM. Using the Vision document as a starting point, a Task Group comprised of senior leaders and strategic thinkers from across NSM collaborated in 2014 to develop and release a Strategy for an Integrated Regional Seniors Health Program in North Simcoe Muskoka . The Strategy focused on Specialized Geriatric Services and frail seniors as the first building block in an integrated regional Seniors Health Program. In late 2015, after additional planning and work, the North Simcoe Muskoka Specialized Geriatric Services (SGS) program was established under the initial leadership of the NSM LHIN and the Lead Agency, Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care. In early 2016 the NSM SGS Program began building its leadership team and in June 2016 an office was established in Barrie. Early work was focused on building the infrastructure for the program and on the re-design of the North Simcoe Muskoka Behaviour Support System.

Reunion sparks memories of Norwich's proud shoe trade
PUBLISHED: 18:20 18 June 2017
The Story of the Norwich Boot and Shoe Trade by Frances and Michael Holmes.
They worked hard and knew how to enjoy themselves...Norwich shoemakers were a breed apart and there were thousands of them.
Only three other places – London, Northampton and Leicester – produced more shoes than Norwich, where there were at least 30 factories turning out millions of pairs, mostly for ladies and children.
Today most have long gone but there sis till one big factory producing shoes in the city – Van Dal, part of the Florida Shoe Company, and later this month a reunion for the former workers is being held.
"The last reunion was four years ago," said Alan Robinson, a former Florida worker who spent 21 years in the clicking room. Those who worked at Edwards & Holmes are also very welcome.
It will be a great opportunity for these skilled men and women to get together again and discover what they have all been up. There was always a great bond of friendship between the shoe workers.
Today the factory at Dibden Road near Mousehold is one of the largest manufacturers of high class ladies shoes in the land carrying on such a long and proud tradition.
So many people have been, and still are, part of the Florida family. One of the relative newcomers to shoemaking in Norwich which has carried on while others went to the wall.
The story of Norwich shoemaking goes back hundreds of years to the 10th century and in the 14th century it was just one of 130 trades being carried out in the city.
In the early days most of the leather workers carried out their business at home and then in the 1790s James Smith opened a shop and factory making ready-made shoes on a site where City Hall stands today.
Between 1850 and 1900 business boomed with thousands of men and women working in the shoe factories built across the city. While Northampton specialised in making shoes for men, Norwich companies made high-quality footwear mostly for women and children – and sent many shoes across the world.
By the 1930s the boot and shoe trade employed more than 10,000 people – 15 per cent of the total Norwich workforce.
It was during that time, 1936, that Adleman Goodman, arrived in Norwich and bought the Florida Shoe Factory on Salhouse Road on what was known as Florida Corner. The factory had been set up by a German refugee named Herschel to produce ladies' shoes.
When Adleman died soon after coming to Norwich, his sons David and Lionel took over. In the Second World War the factory was requisitioned. The company moved into Clarke's in Northumberland Street but when that was destroyed in the 1942 Blitz, they moved back to Salhouse Road.
In the late 1950s it moved to a factory in Dibden Road, Mousehold.
The company sold its shoes to Lilley & Skinner and Russell Bromley before coming up with the Van-Dal brand name. The wide-fitting fashionable Italian-look shoes were a hit across the world...and still are.
Simon Goodman took over as chairman and in 1987 Florida bought Edwards & Holmes but in the face of tough times all production was later transferred to Dibden Road.
Today, while Florida has transferred some of its production overseas, shoes are still made at the Norwich factory – a tribute to all those involved with the company over the years. A great survivor and one of which we can all be proud.
The reunion for Florida and Edwards & Holmes workers, is taking place at the Blue Boar Inn, Wroxham Road, Norwich, on Wednesday May 17 from 7.30pm. More details from Alan Robinson on Norwich 01603 487588 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Our heritage of shoemakers
The festival of the patron saint of shoemakers, St Crispin, was celebrated on a Monday when, before the days of factories, most of the workers had a day off.
The custom died out when the factories came along but many workers still took a Monday off, especially turnshoe makers – and they enjoyed a drink.
In the 1930s around 10,000 men and women worked in around 30 shoe factories producing millions of pairs of mainly ladies' fashion shoes, shoes for children and slippers. It was estimated each worker made around £650 worth a footwear a year. A lot of money in those days.
During the First World War the Norwich shoemakers, working day and night to make army boots, went on strike and marched through the streets demanding bonuses. It was settled by giving the men £1 and the women 15 shillings.
Hundreds of thousands of pairs of shoes made in the city were sent all over the world to countries including Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, South America, Canada, Singapore, Denmark, Malta and Iceland.
Excavations around Whitefriars' Bridge revealed that as early as the 10th century simple turnshoes were being made in Norwich.
The Story of the Norwich Boot and Shoe Trade by Frances and Michael Holmes of the Norwich Heritage Projects is still in the shops. It comes highly recommended.


text: The rumour mill is truly up and running- it appears as if former Bok, Bull and premiership second rower Geo Cronje is poised to make his comeback for the Lions during this year`s Currie Cup. Cronje, brother of current Bok no8 Jacques, who is probably more infamous for the sordid 2003 Quinton Davids race row, has returned to SA following a 3-year stint in the Premiership. Still only 26, he harbours ambitions of donning the green and gold again. Apparently he`s done a whole lot of soul-searching, as has returned home a changed man. His considerable bulk, experience, mobility and aggression would certainly be a major boost for the Lions, especially when coupled to the way that the Lions engine room has fired on all cylinders of late. Unfortunately, he`s been involved in a tractor accident on his farm, and couldn`t be considered for this year`s Super 14 as a result of the injuries he sustained. If he can get his act sorted, and according to reports he has, it would certainly make for an interesting proposition- Cronje and Bakkies Botha fighting it out for the Bok no4 jersey. In fact, with Cronje`s mobility, he might just be a cover option for Vic Matfield in the no5 jumper, even. Very good signing by the Lions IMO- just the type of experience that the pack might be lacking, especially on overseas tours.

Summary: So many times we say, "I will, but..." This little three letter word has a profound impact on our spiritual lives.
The word "but", occurring more than 3800 times in the Bible, is used as a conjunction that marks opposition in passing from one thought or topic to another. It is often used to indicate an exception. It is used to mean "excluding the fact that"; "save that"; "were it not that" or "unless". This little three-letter word has a profound effect on one's spiritual condition and relationship to God having both negative and positive connotations. This morning I want you to see …
I. The BUT of Improper Priorities
A. Luke 9:61 MKJV And another also said, Lord, I will follow You, BUT FIRST allow me to take leave of those in my house.
B. I will accept Christ but... (Except, were it not that)
1. I want first to sow my wild oats – Ecclesiastes 11:9 Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
2. First I want to clean up my act – Luke 11:39 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.
3. Now is not a good time I will – when it is more convenient – Acts 24:25, Luke 12:19-20 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
C. I will serve Christ but... (Except)
1. Right now I want to have fun and enjoy myself while I can
· 2 Timothy 3:2-4 MKJV For men will be self-lovers, money-lovers, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, unyielding, false accusers, without self-control, savage, despisers of good, traitors, reckless, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.
2. First I need to make sure my family and I are financially secure
· The founder of McDonald's, Ray Krock, was asked by a reporter what he believed in. "I believe in God, my family and McDonald's," he said. Then he added, "When I get to the office, I reverse the order." - Source Unknown
3. I have other things to take care of, I have too much on my plate
· The feeling of being hurried is not usually the result of living a full life and having no time. It is, on the contrary, born of a vague fear that we are wasting our life. When we do not do the one thing we ought to do, we have no time for anything else--we are the busiest people in the world.
D. I will attend church faithfully but...
1. (Unless) I've got things around the house that need done
2. (Except) that Sunday is the only day I can sleep in
3. First I want to go to the game…fishing…hunting
4. (Were it not that) I've got to attend a family party…picnic…outing
5. (Unless) someone else asks me to go somewhere and do something
E. The following story appeared in "The Prairie Overcomer:" A fisherman who was out of fellowship with the Lord was at sea with his godless companions when a storm came up and threatened to sink their ship. His friends begged him to pray; but he demurred, saying, "It's been a long time since I've done that or even entered a church." At their insistence, however, he finally cried out, "O Lord, I haven't asked anything of You in 15 years, and if You help us now and bring us safely to land, I promise I won't bother You again for another 15!" Although this story at first evokes a smile, it is sobering to realize that communing with God is often an escape mechanism rather than a way of life. This may be true even of believers who call on God only when they've reached the end of their rope and there seems to be no other way to solve their problems. - Copied
F. Hebrews 2:3 MKJV How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by those who heard Him
II. The BUT of Incomplete Obedience
A. Genesis 19:15-17 MKJV And when the dawn rose up, then the angels hurried Lot, saying, Rise up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city. And he lingered, the angel laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters (Jehovah being merciful to him), and they brought him forth and set him outside the city. And it happened when they brought him outside, He said, Escape for your life! Do not look behind you, nor stay in all the plain. Escape to the mountain lest you be consumed.

SK Play of the Day: Temba Bavuma's brilliance catches David Warner short of the crease
Australia are currently playing against the South Africa in the first of the three-match Test series at WACA in Perth and the Proteas seem to be dominating the game so far apart from their ordinary first innings with the bat.
The South African batsman Temba Bavuma came up with a stunning throw during Austalia's second innings to send David Warner back to the dug-out.
Check out the analysis of Bavuma's brilliant throw by Michael Slater below.
Kagiso Rabada was hit for a boundary in the first ball of the 13th over by Warner. The next ball was banged in short by the pacer and Warner played with soft hands to drop the ball towards short cover. Bavuma who was stationed at point cut the angle, raced at the ball, picked it up one-handed and then threw the ball which resulted in a direct hit. Warner, who seemed to be pretty confident at the first instance had to walk off after replays showed him just inches short of the crease.
Bavuma's effort was outstanding given the fact that he directed the throw towards the stump airborne. He covered a reasonable amount of field very quickly and didn't wait to get on his feet before attempting the throw.

The South Africans were ecstatic after the third umpire decision sent the explosive opening batsman back to the pavilion. The Australian team, who had a terrible first innings with the bat, were heavily reliant on Warner to fire in the second innings in order to keep the game alive. The Australian team ended with 84 runs for the loss of two wickets at the end of the second session on day four of the first Test.
The fourth day of the play started off with some aggressive batting by the South African batting duo of Quinton de Kock and Vernon Philander. While the wicketkeeper-batsman was dismissed for 64, Philander seemed to be unstoppable as he was scoring on all sides of the park. Debutant Keshav Maharaj made things worse for the Aussies as he too joined the party and took the attack to the opposition bowlers.

Skipper Faf du Plessis finally decide to declare at 540/8 and set a target of 539 for the Aussies to win. David Warner and Shaun Marsh got off to a flying start and took the Protea bowling attack to the cleaners. The absence of Dale Steyn haunted the South African bowlers badly as the Aussie openers put up a 50-run stand in just 12 overs. However, Temba Bavuma came up with an acrobatic effort to dismiss Warner.

I've been computer-less at home the past couple of days. Thursday morning I woke up and my computer off, and nothing would make it turn on. I'd been having problems with it for a while. The external switch actually broke a year back, and rather than get a whole new case, I pulled out the microswitch from the inside and used that. Then starting a month back, when I would try to turn it on it would start up, and then shut down again, taking a couple of tries to get going. I've got it into the shop now so I hope they can fix it Saturday. Thank God for work.
Coincidentally, my brother is having trouble as well, although it sounds like a Windows problem in his case.

Blog of events happening to and around Lightning Motorcycle Training in 2010
DECEMBER 2010 - First day of winter and a dose of snow. Well at least it gets it out of the way. - Might have spoken too soon! Three weeks of doing nothing apart from having to constantly ring students to rebook their dates.
After quite a lot of silly industry in-fighting news about a test review has surfaced. To be honest this is a bit premature as there is a great deal of work to be done before a sensible way forward can be sorted out. We have been very fortunate in being closely involved in this process, along with several other members of the motorcycle industry. For the most part they have been very supportive, particularly MAG, MCIA, BMF and two very forward thinking training schools: Biketrain Wales and Streetwise from Birmingham. We have all worked very hard for the past six months to arrive at a solution that will provide a better, safer and more meaningful test that is local and does not cost the earth. And all this within the constraints of the 2nd/3rd EU Licencing Directive.
Frankly one foot of snow has been easier to deal with.
NOVEMBER 2010 - Nice Mr Mike Penning - Transport Minister, who we like a lot due to his largely pro-motorcycling views (and his general not very impressed with the mess the DSA have made of it opinions) - has decided that the Theory Test questions will no longer be published. Or more to the point they won't be able to make any money out of changing the questions every 15 minutes so they can release yet another Theory Test DVD to punt out to the public. The sooner the DSA is privatised the better - oops did we say that out loud??
OCTOBER 2010 - It's time to ride independently for at least 10 minutes. We all held our breath in excitement and then let it out in a sort "what the hell was that all about" kind of way. So students ride around without being told where to go - nothing new there then. Anyway the good news is that nobody has noticed and nobody has found this difficult (or failed on it). Didn't stop the DSA trumpeting to the four corners of the earth that it was all change.
SEPTEMBER 2010 - Already!!! Been a very steady summer for all here at Lightning. Emma has got married and is now Emma Turner - so congratulations Em. Gordon is to be a father - well done mate! William has said goodbye to his Harley Davidson and hello to a Suzuki Katana 1100 dating back to the early 80's - a bike equally heavy and equally wobbly. Fair weather biker Duncan has done a runner to Israel to live with his wife's family - good luck Dunco we miss you.
AUGUST 2010 - The MCITA (Motor Cycle Industry Trainers Association) celebrates two years of campaigning on behalf of the training industry and can now boast over 220 schools as members. It can also has William Rodwell, from Lightning, as one of its committee members. This has been a busy month for William but also a busy month for Lightning.
JULY 2010 - The DSA have announced that along with a review of the current motorcycle test they will also be reviewing the Quality Assurance process for Motorcycle Instructors, the CBT and the Trainer Booking Facility. This will keep the DSA, the Motor Cycle Industry Trainers Association (MCITA) and training schools in general busy for the foreseeable future! It will probably be easier to herd cats. Ben now owns a new Suzuki 1200 Bandit - mad, bad and dangerous to know.
JUNE 2010 - Hurrah the DfT (Department for Transport) have announced that they will revisit the implementation of 2DLD. Moreover they are taking a more hands-on approach to motorcycle training (as clearly the DSA have been less than spectacular in this respect). The new Minister also announced a more inclusive approach to motorcycles in general, which again is good news. The only bad news is that there is no money - so no new test centres.
Football starts this month - boo...but it's Cassington which was huge this year.
MAY 2010 - At last a new government! Let's hope that they are more generous to motorcycling than the previous lot. This month sees the retirement of Brian Gilhooley from the DSA who was a perfectly pleasant individual, but who did not do much for promoting the availability of motorcycle tests. Again let's hope his replacement not only listens but understands what is being said.
Oxford test centre has been reduced to three days a week on the basis that last year was supposed to be slow (but by all accounts was busy when it was open 5 days a week), so now that now it is busier they will reduce the number of days. As ever the great minds that think these things through have clearly been distracted by thoughts of bonuses and pensions. Meanwhile there are very few tests available.
APRIL 2010 - More new bikes (Honda CG 125's) from the ever helpful MTC Motorcycles in Reading. Otherwise a fairly steady month with much wondering about what the General Election will bring. Also warmer weather at last!!!
MARCH 2010 - Still bitterly cold but at least it is not snowing! This has been a busy month fitting in all the people who had their tests cancelled by bad weather. It has also been busy with new customers which is excellent news.
FEBRUARY 2010 - 3DLD Consultation closes amid much acrimony about a poorly worded document and representations to the Department for Transport (DfT). The DSA have set up the Learning To Ride Program with a view to getting insight into the motorcycle training industry, and then giving guidance for root and branch changes to the Motorcycle Safety Group. Fingers crossed that the very high aspirations and hopes are met by this imitative.
Despite very cold weather this has been a busy month, helped by the Get On campaign feeding new people onto motorcycles. We have started a new program for our local dealers to put them in touch with potential customers. Spring can't come soon enough.
JANUARY 2010 - Wow Lightning is 10 years old today! Time to start wearing long trousers and stay up a little bit later. To everyone from Kelly and Andy, through Alan and Loz right through to today with Ben, Jon and all the hard working instructors along the way - thank you very much! To all our 15,000+ customers thank you and to our many suppliers (Fowlers of Bristol, Jaycee Distributors, Bike Tyrestore etc) a big thank you too!
Snow, snow snow! This is the longest period of sitting at the window looking outside and doing nothing that any of us can remember. Happily nearly everyone that had courses cancelled due to the snow have managed to get their courses done by the end of the month.
We filed our response to the 3DLD Consultation this month. In the absence of any clear direction from the DSA how Training would take place or be policed we have opted to go for the Testing route. This will involve more continuity, less cost to the public and training schools and most importantly of all encourage a higher pass rate and better standards from the training school industry. Happy New Year!

I enjoyed a vist from a fine gentleman who goes here by Coaster48, he was in Calgary and we spent a morning together with our 88, SE 33 tag (formerly Minnesota coach). Neil stood up very well to several hours of hard Barth promotion, and I'm quite sure will have a Barth in his future. Thanks for coming over Neil, hope to get out your way one of these days : < )

Hi Bill
I was going to send you a thank you personally but since you posted I thought to reply here!! Thank you very very much for your kind hospitality in showing me your '88 33' Tag SE Barth. Bill had the coffee on for my arrival and gave me the tour of a lifetime!! What a great Barth coach he was able to purchase through this site. And Bill even took the rig out on the road to give me the test drive of how tight the Barths' are on the road!! WOW, thanx, Bill.
Bill, I was all ears to the thorough info you supplied about the rig!! And also the availability of the binder of a lot of the Barths' history. I've been out of RVing in the last 10 years and it was a great re - introduction to the lifestyle!
Since being fairly new to this forum, I am totally impressed with the response of all owners and other dedicated wannabees to spread the knowledge and the values of Barth RV's.
I have to say that I'm totally sold on Barths and will be a proud owner in the future.
Can't get enough of this site!!!, Neil

I think the following article from History of Gonzales Co. TX will have some bearing on your family and you may also want to consult with the person to whom I sent it. Harold Hopkins (Article & letter follow):
some Texas Ainsworths
Sun, 22 Apr 2001 18:39:51 -0400
Harold Hopkins
I have a History of Gonzales County by Gonzales County Historical
Commission. On p. 257 (family F-121) is a sketch on the James P. Collins
family, which spent some time in Gonzales County. Here's the entry:
The James P. Collins family arrived in Gonzales County about 1861 from
DeWitt County where they had resided for about ten years. A farmer and a
justice of the peace, Collins remained in Gonzales County for about
eighteen years until his death. He affiliated with the Masonic Lodge at
Bellmont in 1864 and with the lodge at Leesburg in 1871. He served the
latter organization as tiler from 1874 to 1879. In 1869 he was elected
to the office of Justice of the Peace.
Born in 1816 in Wayne County, Mississippi, James P. Collins was a son of
ChristopherCollins and Rachel Hendricks. About 1837 he married Eliza
G.Ainsworth who was born Feb 11, 1809 in the Mississippi Territory in
the area which later became Washington County, AL [this is the old Saint
Stephens Parish or District; a slew of Ainsworths lived in Washington
County. -- HH]. It was not known who his parents were.
In 1838 James P. and Eliza G.A. Collins migrated to the Republic of
Texas. They settled in Liberty County where he was granted 640 acres on
the west bank of the Trinity River which became part of Polk County in
1846 and San Jacinto County in 1870.The Collinses lived in or near the
town of Swarthout. It was believed that the Collinses went to Texaswith
Eliza's relatives, the A.Sebastian Ainsworth and Jeptha Patterson
Ainsworth families.The two families were on record as having arrived
in Texas on the same day as the James P. Collins family.A.S. and J.P.
Ainsworth were probably brothers of Eliza.
While a resident of Polk County, James P. Collins was elected justice of
the peace.He was a slave owner and a member of the Masonic Lodge at
Cold Spring.In 1851 Collins resigned hisposition of justice of the
peace and moved his family to DeWitt Count where several members of the
Ainsworth family had migrated.James P. Collins also served as justice
of the peace in DeWitt County. He owned land on the Five Mile Coleto
Creek, the Twelve Mile Coleto Creek and in the town of Yorktown.
About 1861 James' family moved to the Leesville area of Gonzales County.
James's brother Benjamin Collins [Benjamin is also sketched in this
book --HH] and his familyhad moved to Gonzales County in 1859 from
Mobile County, Alabama (see Collins, B.).
Eliza G. Ainsworth Collins, wife of James P. Collins, died June 3, 1863.
She was buried in the Antioch Cemetery near Leesville.On October 1,
1863 James P. Collins married his second wife Mrs. Mary H. Talley
Campbell.Collins died Dec. 23, 1879. The location of his grave is not
Five chidren were born to James P. Collins by his first wife Eliza G.

Anastatia "Annie" Brown in 1859 and second Elizabeth A. Brooks November

County) -August 15, 1908 Mills County, Texas)married Allene; William

"I always wanted to be a baseball player," says Benjamin Warren. And, up until he played on a not-so-winning team at Northwest Nazarene University, he thought he would be. But, "It was hard to be a really competitive person and put up with losing." He says. Lucky for Warren, he had a little insurance in his back pocket.
In high school he remembers a project all about choosing a career path. "In the course of that assignment, it occurred to me it would be a good idea to have a back-up plan," he says. Warren grew up in Leavenworth, Washington, a tourist town in the heart of the Cascade Mountains, fashioned after a picturesque Bavarian village. "I worked on paper routes, rented parking spaces, worked at Bavarian bratwurst stands, at Dairy Queen – managing money was always an interest of mine," he says.
So, after Warren graduated from NNU with a degree in business administration, he entered the financial industry in 2004 as an advisor for Modern Woodmen of America. In 2007, "I jumped at the opportunity to join the team at Rathbone Warwick & Daly."
Then, because he wanted a "deeper level of investment and industry knowledge," Warren tackled a monumental challenge – to become a Chartered Financial Analyst charterholder, "what I consider the gold standard in the financial industry," he says. After a grueling four years of studying for hours after work and on weekends, "I completed the self-study program and three exams to earn the right to call myself a charterholder. I can easily say it is the most difficult project I have ever undertaken," Warren says.
Today, he is the lead advisor for over 120 families. He helps chart the direction of client portfolios and holds workshops for business owners on meeting fiduciary responsibilities and retirement plans. Warren also teaches core financial skills throughout the Treasure Valley, professionally and as a community service.
"More often than not, financial is an intimidating topic for people," he says. "My goal is to bring clarity and peace to people's financial lives."
Warren lists as inspiration figures: Tim Onofeo, his head baseball coach at NNU, Bob Rathbone, a mentor who taught Warren the value of putting the client first, and his father. "My dad has been a phenomenal example as a family man, proficer and leader. He's been the biggest impact I my life."
Warren and his wife, Kirsten, have two girls, Boston, 7, and London, 5, and are expecting another girl, Brighton, in July. "Two more and we'll have a Yahtzee," Warren says with a laugh.

Be prepared for flood and storm season
With up to seven cyclones predicted in the lead up to the Queensland summer, the RACQ Get Ready Queensland campaign is helping Queenslanders to get ready for wild storms and floods.
Office of Fair and Safe Work Queensland head Dr Simon Blackwood said business owners should not forget that not only their homes need to be prepared for storm season but also their workplaces.
"Good preparation will help to prevent the risk of workplace injuries, as well help minimise property damage that extreme weather can cause," Dr Blackwood said.
"During storm season, loose materials and objects should be secured and any incomplete structures should be braced to prevent collapse.
"Dangerous goods and hazardous substances should be properly disposed of or stored and locked away.
"If your workplace is affected by storms or floods, remember that work safety laws still apply during the clean-up."
Dr Blackwood said business operators could find information on dealing with electrical and asbestos issues caused by storms, as well as cleaning up flooded properties, by visiting www.worksafe.qld.gov.au and searching for 'storms and floods'.
"The website also includes advice about safe handling of damaged asbestos materials, such as older fences and roofs," Dr Blackwood said.
"One of the most important things to avoid is using high pressure water blasters on any material that contains asbestos – it's illegal and very dangerous.
Follow these steps to plan a clean-up safely:
Always treat electrical cabling as if it is live.

Public analyst
The examples and perspective in this article may not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (April 2016) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Public Analysts are scientists in the United Kingdom and Ireland whose principal task is to ensure the safety and correct description of food by testing for compliance with legislation.[1] Most Public Analysts are also Agricultural Analysts who carry out similar work on animal feedingstuffs and fertilisers.[2] Nowadays this includes checking that the food labelling is accurate. They also test drinking water, and may carry out chemical and biological tests on other consumer products.[3] While much of the work is done by other scientists and technicians in the laboratory, the Public Analyst has legal responsibility for the accuracy of the work and the validity of any opinion expressed on the results reported. There is an Association of Public Analysts, which includes members with similar roles if different titles in other countries.[4]
The office of Public Analyst was established in 1860, with the Act for Preventing the Adulteration of Articles of Food and Drink, the first three appointments being in London, Birmingham and Dublin.[1] Since the separation of the UK and Ireland, they operate under different legislation, but the term and general duties are the same. The original work was chemical testing, and this is still a major part, but nowadays microbiological examination of food is an important activity, particularly in Scotland, where Public Analyst laboratories also carry out a statutory Food Examiner role.
The primary UK legislation is the Food Safety Act 1990. All local authorities are required to appoint a Public Analyst,[5] although there have always been fewer Public Analysts and their laboratories than local authorities, most being shared by a number of local authorities. On the UK mainland there has always been a mixture of public sector and private sector laboratories. This remains the case today - but they all provide an equivalent service, and avoidance of conflicts of interest are ensured by the statutory terms of appointment. There is a statutory qualification requirement[6] for Public Analysts, known as the Mastership in Chemical Analysis (MChemA), awarded by the Royal Society of Chemistry. This is a specialist postgraduate qualification by examination that verifies knowledge and understanding of food and its potential defects, interpretation of food law, and the application and interpretation of chemical analysis for food law enforcement.
The Public Analysts' laboratories must be third-party accredited to British Standard ISO 17025.[7]
In the mid 1980s there were some 40 Public Analyst Laboratories in the UK with over 100 appointed Public Analysts. By 1993 that had reduced to 34 Laboratories and around 80 Public Analysts, and by 2010 the number of Public Analyst Laboratories in the UK had reduced to 22[8] with only about 26 Public Analysts.
Enforcement of food law in the UK is by local authorities, principally their environmental health officers and trading standards officers. Whilst these officers are empowered to take samples of food, the actual assessment in terms of chemical analysis or microbiological examination and subsequent interpretation that are necessary to determine whether a food complies with legislation is carried out by Public Analysts and Food Examiners respectively, scientists whose qualifications and experience are specified by regulations.
Public Analyst Laboratories in Cork, Dublin and Galway provide an analytical service to the Food Safety Authority.[1]
The Public Analyst runs a laboratory which will:
- Analyse food:
- for composition: many foods have legally defined, customary or expected compositions
- for additives: which must be legally permitted and within prescribed concentrations
- for contamination: chemical, microbiological
- to assess the accuracy of labelling
- to investigate whether complaints by the public are justified
- Interpret relevant law passed by the EU and UK or Ireland:
- act as expert witness in prosecutions
In addition to their central rôle in relation to food law enforcement, Public Analysts provide expert scientific support to local authorities and the private sector in various other areas, for example they:
- analyse drinking, bathing water including swimming pools, industrial effluents, industrial process waters and other waters
- investigate environmental products and processes including assessing land contamination, building materials and examining fuels
- advise on waste management
- investigate and monitor air pollution
- advise on consumer safety - in particular consumer products such as toys
- monitor asbestos and other hazards
- carry out toxicological work to assist HM Coroners
Sampling is largely outside the control of the Public Analyst.
Local authorities have a duty to check the safety of food and to provide adequate protection of the consumer. To achieve that they devise sampling plans, seeking to balance their need to monitor food against limited resources and other demands on their budgets. A typical sampling plan for a local authority might include samples of the following:
- samples from a particular source - a supermarket, manufacturer or caterer or country
- meat products - to check %meat or %fat or non-meat or additives or species
- product marketing claims
- undeclared ingredients in prepared foods
- contaminated products
- nutritional content of prepared meals

Another week and another mystery biologist. In keeping with my current theme, this is related to a technique or tool that is invaluable to the regular biologist (although this one depends very much on your field and is becoming replaced by other techniques).
As for last week, it was Hermann J Muller - one of the pioneers of Drosophila research and the mutagenic effects of radiation. The main reason I covered him though was for discovering balancer chromosomes - chromosomes with multiple inversions that are incapable of recombining with their sister chromosome. As someone who has worked with flies for a decade you have no idea how much easier this set of tools has made my life (and that includes you TM2 with your Ultrabirothax phenotype!)

From Bob Giles:
Reading Peter Fingar's Dot.Cloud: The 21st Century Business Platform Built on Cloud Computing felt like sitting in my car in a cloud of daydreams, waiting for the light to change, and getting bumped by the car behind me.
I didn't know whether I was safe, being assaulted, being joked with, or delighted that I wasn't injured.
Fingar spent about 80 of his 235 pages discussing what a "cloud" is. A very specialized use of the word, a "cloud" nevertheless suggests the enormous scale and dynamic of his topic, a diverse, variable, present-and-rapidly-developing business platform that has within it more coordination, collaboration, and decision-making power than ever before.
Dot.Cloud suggests the business potentials ahead as the cloud develops. The cloud, as imagined, does not yet exist (maybe so on a small scale as "grid computing"); there are parallels and possible small models; it's a deeply (rather "multi-dimensionally") changed way of doing business.
Knik Glacier Storm by Dianne Roberson Hendrix @alaskaartist
(Used with permission)
That changed way includes putting the customer at the center of the total system (all of the cloud), destroying current practices and organizations and flows of authority and control, and responding positively to globalization. It has to include a newly-designed platform of endlessly accessible hardware, software, and data, (machine clusters) – largely autonomous – for serving customers and collaborating with suppliers and other partners. Fingar thinks the cloud - a special combination of services, platforms, and basic computer work, and changed internal business operations – will have an impact on society of the magnitude of the Internet.
The fun of reading Dot.Cloud was in challenges like: "…to realize the full potential of this new model, the technology industry needs to think about the cloud as a platform for creating new services and experiences that we have yet to imagine."
How can we build into our devices, networks, and software "a higher level of intelligence"? Continuous analytics? How will businesses themselves be more like the technology itself, more adaptable, more interwoven, and more specialized? Fingar speaks of electronically-connected virtual project teams; systems that identify most profitable customers, accelerate product innovation, optimize supply chains and pricing, and identify drivers of businesses.
Other challenging statements: "Best-run companies [because of cloud presence and influence] are no longer sellers to their customers. They are buyers for their customers, reaching out to networks of producers across the globe to deliver compelling value," and "The learning process is, in and of itself, the ultimate business process."
Fingar moved from a technology bent to enterprise organization and administration in later chapters, perhaps more different and demanding than the technological changes imagined. He finished with 17 action ideas to consider for answers to the question "What to do?" They substantiate an exciting mental walk in a cloud about The Cloud. I expect I'll be hiking there again.

New Delhi: The People's Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL) has criticised the immigration officials for refusing to allow Greenpeace campaigner Priya Pillai to fly to London. It described their action as "arbitrary, highhanded and illegal."
In a statement on January 13, PUCL said she had a valid business visa and all her travel papers were in order. There was thus no acceptable reason for preventing her from travelling to London as she was neither a convicted person nor was there any judicial restraint order prohibiting her travel abroad.
"PUCL strongly condemns the arbitrary, highhanded and illegal action of the immigration officials of the Government of India at the New Delhi airport refusing to permit Ms. Priya Pillai, senior Campaigner of Greenpeace, to board her flight to London on 11th January, 2015. Worse still was the vindictive act of the immigration officials stamping Ms. Priya Pillai's passport as `OFFLOADED' thereby effectively ensuring that she cannot leave India until and unless the Government of India revokes the unannounced ban on her travel.
Ms. Priya had valid business visa and all her travel papers were in order. There is thus no acceptable reason for preventing Ms. Priya from travelling to London as she is neither a convicted person nor is there any judicial restraint order prohibiting her travel abroad.
The Peoples Union for Democratic Rights (PUDR) stated, "what is ominous is that the Home Ministry has purportedly stated that there is "no rule which allows restraining a citizen from travelling abroad….(because) he/she would express views in conflict with government's policies." (TOI, 13/01/2015)]. So if this is the case who ordered the 'lookout circular', and at whose behest? These are questions which remain unanswered. If, as the news reports suggest, that the 'lookout circular' was issued by the Intelligence Bureau (IB) which has no executive authority to issue them, or by the Foreigners division of Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) without the knowledge of the Home Secretary then, this action against Ms. Pillai who had a valid visa shows how arbitrariness has come to define the working of agencies and divisions of MHA, tasked with 'internal security'."
Both the organisations demanded that the Government of India immediately revoke its decision to ban foreign travel by Ms. Priya Pillai, strike out the stamp in her passport of being "Off loaded" thereby enabling her to travel abroad if all her travel papers are in order.
They also called upon the Government of India to stop "hounding and targeting rights activists for coercive or police action and instead create a conducive, non-adversarial, intimidation-free environment enabling people to share, discuss and debate in a democratic spirit crucial issues of development projects and programmes."
The Ministry of Home Affairs has reportedly stated that they had no information about any travel restrictions on Ms. Pillai, while the immigration officials said they were acting on orders from the Government of India. PUCL said it was unlikely that such a drastic decision would be taken without instructions from the highest level.

The Garage
Let's not pretend it was without its flaws. The beer on tap gave you terrible hangovers. The sound was not too good depending on where you stood.
But there used to be a lot of good shows there and London really misses it as a venue of that size.
Any ideas on whether it will ever re-open?
I think we should pool money together
and buy it.
I'm semi-serious.
What is the issue with it?
Are there issues with the other businesses around it, or the train station thingy?
Last I heard was that the people that own the venue (a beer company - murphys or someone i think) had a stand off with the mean fiddler (who rent it) about who was supposed to pay for the repairs.
but it could be the tube problem.
Thing is - there's no other venues of that 500 capacity really - The Underworld and that's about it.
I actually liked the fact it was one big room - although you got the talkers it also meant there was a bit more of an atmosphere...
It's London Transport that own it
and won't pay for roof repairs, supposedly.
I saw some great gigs there
TCTC, Quasi, the Bluetones.
I used to go to international hi-fi when I was about 18, so the garage has some happy memories.
Still a shithole mind.
of course it was a shithole
but it was a very carming shithole and put on absolutely ace gigs. I saw so many classic gigs there, and you could get to pretty much anywhere in the room really easily.

Pumpkins are essential for fall season. The word pumpkin originates from a Greek word Pepon, which means large melon. When first European settlers came to America, they found out that those "large melons" can be easily carved as "Jack's" lanterns and the carving tradition has endured until nowadays and is very popular ever since. But not everyone is into traditional pumpkin carving and there are plenty of good reasons. Your kids might be too small, your pumpkins might be too small, you don't want to risk injury or maybe you simply want to try something different. For those who are not eager to disembowel their perfectly shaped holiday decoration, we put together this article suggesting alternative ideas without using a carving kit. Instead, our ideas require paint, markers, glue, candy, old stockings, bandages and primarily - imagination! Your options are never-ceasing and we are here to help!
Let's start off with a simple idea. Gluing a face on your pumpkin looks pretty, is easy and mess free. The decoration will look pretty inside just like outside.
Small pumpkins are cute themselves but when painted as donuts, they become even more adorable. Dip the little cuties in paint and create sprinkles with a gentle touch of a small brush. Simple and so pretty!
Give your pumpkins Halloween look. White spider webs and bones look great on black foundation. The scenario will look even better complemented by a skull or other parts of a skeleton.
Instead of painting a spider, create one out of numerous pumpkins. You will need a few branches, white paper and buttons, as shown in the picture. The decoration will look great in front of your house.
If you got more candy that you can eat this year, use it as a decoration. Candy corn and black licorice can create a an original and beautiful owl look.
Depending on what is popular at your house at the moment, choose your favorite movie characters as a motive for your pumpkin. With a help of a few accessories from a craft store you will be the children's hero.
We included one option that actually requires disemboweling, but look so pretty that we could not leave it out. Use you stitching skills, take a needle and a thread, and portray any Fall or Halloween themed picture.
Idea so simple that even the little ones can do it. Take a bandage, wrap your pumpkin in it and add eyes. Voila! Little mummy will complement any room in your house.
Give your old stocking one more chance before getting rid of it. Put a pumpkin inside of a stocking, tie it on both sides to give it a classy and stylish look.

It wasn't about me, that was the thing. It was all about them, it was their day, so what could I say about how terrified I was. All I had to do was give the speech, and remember the rings, but I could handle the rings. I felt like my eyeballs were being sucked backwards into my head, and my tongue was fat and dry and we hadn't even got the reception and my back was wet, and other guests kept wanting to talk to me because, I was 'The one that had been there when they escaped.'
It was an honour to meet me and they couldn't wait to hear it: the speech. In truth this was the most intense thing I had done since the escape. Right now it felt harder than getting the three of us out. There was a split second of euphoria when they asked me to do it but it passed giving way to a six month long amplification of sheer terror: about the speech. The speech, the speech, the best man's speech. They'd be close; there'd be the three of us. But it would be different. Because that time we were a team and now I was just me.

The Time Ring Trilogy concludes with Just War, which like Birthright was adapted for audio from the Doctor Who novel of the same name.
As was the case with both Birthright and Walking to Babylon, the adaptation of Lance Parkin's debututant story, Just War, has some minor changes that set it apart from the novel. Whilst Benny's parts - including the torture scenes - remain intact, Roz Forrester's subplot is excluded and most of the Doctor and Chris Cwej's roles are shared by Jason Kane.
However this play, just like the original, is set in Wartime Guernsey, where the eponymous Time Ring has deposited Bernice following the explosive events of Birthright. This release constantly barrages the listener with an arsenal of genuine historical facts, and though these are just as startling as any plot twists seen on Doctor Who, they are just the starting point for a production which really strives for dramatic realism as opposed to sensation and melo-drama.
Lisa Bowerman is very low-key here, though this was to be expected as the tale demands that she remain broken and emotionally scarred. Bowerman's skill lies in finding shades within this emotional state; a great achievement. As for Stephen Fewell's Jason, this is the character's finest hour as he finally gets some more rewarding interplay with Bowerman. Fewell really uses the chance to articulate both Jason's strength and his vulnerability here. Maggie Stables (the future Evelyn Smythe, of sixth Doctor fame) as Ma Doras provides a warm, well-rounded performance in the early scenes that contrasts well with the horrific turn events later take. Mark Gatiss and Nicky Goldie as Wollf and Kitzel along with Michael Wade's chillingly persuasive Steinmann make for a great cliché-free ensemble, communicating the horrors of Nazism without simplifying or glamorising its nature. Their restraint and simplicity is first-rate.
And here ends the Time Ring Trilogy. Just War is indeed a powerful and emotional journey for both Benny and Jason; we can easily say that all three stories are a definitive perfect ten. The same goes for the CD freebie that came with it, too.
