God provided Manna for the Children of Israel for the entire time they were wandering in the desert. This was "food from Heaven." When they finished their wandering, just after crossing the Jordan River (which had been parted during its flood stage like the Red Sea had been parted) the Manna stopped. They had come to a place where there was food for them and, like the poem "Footprints in the Sand," God no longer needed to "carry" them.
During the desert wandering, they received a wonderful gift that tasted sweet… almost like a dessert, and they had it so much that they grew tired of it and grumbled. How often are we given wonderful things that we get so used to having, that we want something MORE, and grumble, instead of asking in praise, when we don't get the "More."
It is possible that we would be blessed with the "more" if we just asked in praise and appreciation for the gifts He HAS given us. He says that we don't "have" because we don't ask, or we ask amiss...
Often, I don't think we even know what the "more" is that we want, BECAUSE our eyes aren't on the blessings that God is giving us today… Tomorrow is NOT promised. Smell the roses that are around you today! Look at the glistening diamonds shining in tiny rainbows of color in the dew, or laying on the blades of just watered grass…
Even IF we are traveling in the desert at the moment, with oasis' few and far between, if we just look, we will find that there ARE blessings around us that God has given.

This month is an exiting time for The People News as it enters its tenth year in publication.
The very first issue, published in February 1998 with just 12 pages, caused quite a stir among community leaders. One even went as far as to try to prevent advertisers from supporting the paper by sending out intimidating letters to them. Competitors were reported as saying "they won't last three months."
Friends warned that an out spoken, tell it like it is, newspaper is likely to make many enemies and get sued out of existence.... but The People News continued, keeping a spotlight on government and giving to the community a fresh new alternative to local media coverage by offering more conservative and independent commentary.
Over the past nine years we have witnessed dramatic changes in local government. Familiar names and faces that for years monopolized the County Commission, city council, school boards, planning commissions and a variety of influential committees have come and gone. Powerful members of the local media have come and gone, yet The People News is still around and has continued to grow in popularity.
The aim of The People News was to bring balance to our written information supply and give ordinary citizens a vehicle in which to express their feelings, concerns and opinions. During the first year of publication, the paper welcomed 17 independent writers, many of whom are still featured today.
Starting with just 12 black and white pages, ten paid ads and circulation of 4,000, The People News has more than doubled in size, quantity and quality. Many of the pages are now in full color, with more photographs. The paper enjoys a solid advertising base, working with local businesses to provide affordable exposure. Publishing a newspaper that is
free to the public, requires selling advertising to pay for the printing process. The continued support of the many local businesses has enabled us to give readers more color and wider content variety. There is something for everyone from politics, editorials, gossip to health, recipes, mystical, country life, WWI and 2 stories and humor.
April of 2003 was a great leap forward for The People News when its online edition was added: www.thepeoplenews.com. What started as a small news sheet to inform and entertain the citizens of Bradley County is now read by thousands, not just locally but all across the globe. Unlike most online newspapers, Thepeoplenews.com allows the reader
to view pages without logging in and without tiresome pop-ups. In fact the website is completely clean and free from computer bugs. With just a click, the archive feature can take you through all back issues from April 2003 to present. Site statistics show the online edition to be very well visited as it receives much response both nationally and internationally. Although thepeoplenews.com can be accessed directly, it is also listed on many of the world newspaper directories. One important directory, Mondotimes.com, invites its members to rate the world's media. It was recently discovered that The People News was on the list of top twenty best newspapers and top twenty best media in the USA. Not bad for a free monthly newspaper primarily catering to Bradley County residents.
May of 2003 saw the introduction of ClevelandBradleyBusiness.com.. a business directory dedicated to promoting local merchants and service industries. Sponsored by The People News, the website was designed with the consumer in mind, and also gives useful information and tips for small business. The directory provides a free business category as well as an alphabetical listing for all local area businesses. As no password or login information is required to view ClevelandBradleyBusiness.com, statistics show the site is accessed frequently by local consumers looking for a new place to eat or a place to shop.
Publisher - Editor Pete Edwards says he owes all the popularity and respect the newspaper has received over the years to it's contributing writers and columnists. "Without the hard work and dedication of these exceptional individuals, The People News would not have achieved the success and reader support it enjoys today."
For absolutely no monetary compensation, just a love for writing and yearning to "give back" something to the community. Many times they do not even get to hear all the good, positive feed back received at the office or when out distributing the paper. It is surprising how many people say that they pick up an extra copy to send to a friend or relative in another state. Although everyone seems to have their favorite page, many say they read the paper cover to cover and much of what you read is contributed by the readers themselves.
Writers Mel Griffith, Joe Kirkpatrick, and June Griffin appeared in the very first issue of The People News and are still with us today. Just recently JB Griffin found that his fast growing family and business commitments made it impossible for him to continue submitting his column "Car Talk." He and his wife Stacy were also featured in the first issue with their column "Old Soldiers Never Die."
Subsequent issues introduced B.J Armstrong, JC Bowman, Jennifer Bowman, Toneeke Henderson, Jerry Keys, Joel Lawler, Pauline Murphy, Cecil Owen, Pettus Read, Ned Hickson, and our most recent featured writer, Linda Moore. To all the readers who appreciate the content of The People News, the above writers are really the ones to thank when you see them around town. Some can also be contacted via the e-mail address published at the end of their article and on the website. Feedback positive or otherwise is always appreciated.
While reading the next issue of The People News, please consider that if it wasn't for our supportive advertisers, many of which have been with us for the entire nine years, the above writers would not have been given the opportunity to express themselves. Thanking those advertisers by doing business with them is the best way to show your appreciation for the content of the paper.
Thank you, readers, writers and advertisers for an interesting and enjoyable nine years.

According to Robin Leach, the dancers in the Criss Angel's Cirque de Soleil show "Believe" were told that their role in the show is being slowly phased out as additional magic & illusions are worked into the show. In an article in the Las Vegas Sun, he says:
The dancers also were told that in mid-April, some seven major new illusions will be incorporated into the show so that Believe will eventually have 30 magic segments in all with its new look. As a result, the dancers have been told that their run in the show will then slowly come to an end.
Cirque has confirmed my weekend report, and in a statement that the dancers' contracts will not be renewed after July, added that they hope to place the dancers in the other six resident Cirque shows on the Strip. Felix Rappaport, president of the Luxor, where Believe is a resident show, said a new marketing campaign for Believe is being planned for mid-April to emphasize the changes as Cirque's traditional fixation process finalizes the makeover.

if a dark ghost type used miracle eye and then skill swap on a pokemon with wonder guard as an ability than wouldn't the dark ghost type be invincible?
Not quite invincible. A Pokemon with Wonder Guard can still be hit by status. The most obvious method would be to use Toxic. However, things such as Sand, Hail, burn, and such hits just fine. Other forms of indirect damage such as a Rugged Helmet will also damage.
Then you have Mold Breaker and its variants.
You can also remove Wonder Guard through a move such as Gastro Acid.
Struggle can also damage a Pokemon with Wonder Guard, although this is not very reliable seeing as more likely you'll end up KOing yourself.
And Fire Fang also for some random reason hits a foe with Wonder Guard and damages them, although only for Gen IV.
Beat Up can also hit in Gen IV.
And yes, as Ninja said, Wonder Guard you can't skill swap, so Trace would have to be the method of obtaining it.
Yeah. A Ghost-Dark type with Wonder Guard would be invincible to attacks; however, Wonder Guard cannot be skill swapped.

In the city of Melbourne, excavation has gone to an all new level. This has come up after companies have realized that excavation can be done in a new way using a vacuum. When it comes to excavation Melbourne City has today, contractors decided to simplify it and make it look simple and feel simple. A vacuum excavator uses a suction mechanism where the excavator creates some strong suction through a pipe with about one-foot diameter. One end of the pipe is made in such a way that it has some tooth-like structures which help in cutting through the soil. In Melbourne city, excavation of loose debris and litter is now easy. When water is used, the process is then called hydro excavation. Suction excavation is the best method when it comes to finding of underground utilities.
Below are some of the things that you need to know about suction excavation.
Which Equipment is Used?
This method of excavation is highly capital intensive rather than labor intensive, therefore, just a small number of working crew is needed. Typically what is needed is a powered vacuum suction machine to complete the process of excavation Melbourne contractors have to offer. Vacuum excavation Melbourne offers today involves transporting of the equipment using a truck to the site of excavation.
The type of excavation will depend on the type of soil. If the soil is soft, then the process can take 20 minutes to excavate a 12 square inch hole which is 5 foot deep. There are also portable vacuum excavators. These are usually used by hand, whereby only a single person is needed to carry out the process. The portable excavators are meant for digging up small holes.
What Are the Applications of this Method of Excavation?
The suction process is the most important aspect of excavation Melbourne contractors use today. It has many advantages and one of them is non destructive digging. It has many applications which are very relevant in the city. Some of the applications are done on a daily basis while some may take place every month. They include leaf removal, exploration excavations, replacing pipes and fittings, repairing railway track side. Renovation or installation of gas pipes, cables or even water pipes. Other applications can also be removing gravel from flat roofs and also the clearing of any environmental damages.
How Safe is the Method?
Vacuum excavating process is the safest known method when it comes to the excavation history. With a 98% safety condition on the crew, Envirolink Melbourne City, and other cities are embracing the method. This way, workers feel more energized and confident to work with the machines while on the excavation site. Your health and that of your workers are important even when working. When it is a matter of safety, Vacuum Excavation Melbourne offers is the most preferred option.
With an accuracy of 100% on the safety of underground utilities, vacuum excavators are always considered number one. It is always the best method instead of hand digging. In the city of Melbourne, excavation is easier, precise and cost effective.

How to Decorate your Electric Meter
Todays Perspective
I posted this on FB and Instagram on Tuesday. Seemed like a good idea to post on the blog, as well.
Blowin' in the Wind
Just a few blocks from our house this view presents itself. This view is looking southwest along Marine View Drive and Puget Sound. When I took daily walks I would walk along this section of Marine View Drive. One of the perks of living where we do; just a few minutes walk from a pretty cool view. Hasn't changed much in the 60 years I have lived in Arbor Heights.
Including a Bush
Since I have been posting flowers from our yard I thought it only fair I post an image of a bush. This bush has been trimmed and shaped by our son in law, who is an Arborists who works for Seattle Parks. This image is actually the first phase of the trim. He finished the trimming last week so now it is sort of a combination bonsai and topiary. This bush image was taken on my phone. The completed topiary will be shot with a 'real' camera :-).
Our Garden Window
Since my range of traveling has been limited to home or close to home ( due to health issues: broken bone in right foot, fractured 8th rib and a blood clot causing edema in my lower left leg-phew!) and not in the usual interesting places I find to shoot, I have some images here from our garden window. I love plants from the desert SW, and besides, they easily adjust to my black thumb!

As a small-medium size business owner...do you have a set of "rules" that your employee's can follow to meet or exceed expectations? If so, are these "rules" posted in your office, in an employee handbook, or have they been verbally expressed in a company meeting?
On the other hand, do you have a set of unformalized "rules" that you feel your employee's should follow. Regardless of whether or not your "rules" are formalized or not, a successful business owner/executive must have have concrete rules so that employee's can exceed expectations. It is when your employees begin to exceed your expectations that the vision for your company/organization will begin to come to life. A GREAT product or service must be delivered by GREAT employees with a clear set of "rules", so that they can replicate their performance and achieve excellent results.
At Ascend: Entrepreneurial Growth, we "Grow the Entrepreneur" and help business owners to identify their rules. Many business owners fail to provide the communication needed to give a consistent message to their employees. Communication creates the environment in which your team operates. At Ascend: Entrepreneurial Growth we will help you build a set of "rules" for your employees and plan for successful communication in your business.

Want to control a swarm of robots? Georgia Tech has the answer
Researchers at Georgia Tech have built a tablet-based system that lets people control a fleet of robots with just the swipe of a finger.
The system uses a beam of light on the floor, according to Georgia Tech. The 'swarm' robots, which are in constant communication with each other, roll toward the illumination, and decide how to evenly cover the lit area.
Researchers say that when someone swipes the Apple iPad to drag the light across the floor, the robots follow. If, however, the person puts two fingers in different locations on the tablet, the machines split into teams and start the 'swarm' process again.
'Swarm' robots have already been tested by a number of organizations, from the U.S. military, to oceanographers. Georgia Tech says that its algorithm for controlling large teams of robots could be used in areas such as manufacturing, agriculture, and disaster relief.
"It's not possible for a person to control a thousand or a million robots by individually programming each one where to go," said Magnus Egerstedt, Schlumberger Professor in Georgia Tech's School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, in a statement. "Instead, the operator controls an area that needs to be explored. Then the robots work together to determine the best ways to accomplish the job."
Georgia Tech says that its robotic algorithm is flexible enough to let robots "change their minds." In a demonstration of the system, each robot is constantly measuring how much light is in its local "neighborhood." When there's too much light in a robot's area, it moves away so that another robot can steal some of its light.
"The robots are working together to make sure that each one has the same amount of light in its own area," explained Egerstedt.
"In the future, farmers could send machines into their fields to inspect the crops," said Georgia Tech doctoral candidate Yancy Diaz-Mercado, in the statement. "Workers on manufacturing floors could direct robots to one side of the warehouse to collect items, then quickly direct them to another area if the need changes."
Georgia Tech's study is supported by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research.

Not A Fairytale

Sequel to belief. Rated R, just in case.
He's not happy.
It bothers her more than she thought it would, as she slips from the bed and he doesn't look at her. Not her face, anyway. He stares at her body, her skin: either memorising or remembering.
But he won't look at her face.
She places her body, her skin behind a robe, only because of the chill.
She says nothing. No idle conversation, nothing about the weather, if he wants anything to drink.
She doesn't regret her decision, but she does wonder why he's not happy.
The thought of another shower is unappealing; she's missed every feeling, every scent and wants to live with them, at least for a while. Leaving the bedroom, she pauses as she passes the mirror.
There. Faint. Red.
She smiles.
Entering the kitchen, she makes coffee. If he wants any he can help himself; he's definitely earned it. When she turns around with a mug lifted to her mouth she realises he's standing in the doorway, still naked.
The mug shatters.
He asks her what happened. He asks her why he came to see her.
"Because I asked you to."
His presence should be having no effect on her. The fact that he's pushing her against the counter should be having no effect on her – *she* invited *him*. But the feelings are still lingering; if he were capable already it wouldn't take much...
It doesn't take much. His hands are more than capable, moving, sliding, repeating what they discovered earlier.
She clutches onto his shoulders, urging him closer.
His touch is lighter, barely there. She swears.
Her stomach hardens, tightens. His free hand yanks down the robe as his mouth finds her breast.
"...want to-o..."
Shuddering, gasping, rocking, giving what he wants, getting what she needs.
Breathing, living, muttering.

El-Rufai lambasted the Minister of Women Affairs for being disloyal to the President, adding that she was never a Buhari supporter but a loyalist of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar.
The governor claimed Alhassan did not also vote for Buhari during the APC presidential primary.
Also, the national working committee (NWC) of the APC has called for her resignation.
A member of the NWC and national vice chairman, northwest zone, Inuwa Abdukadir, called for the resignation of Alhassan on Friday in Abuja while speaking with journalists.
He also attacked former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, describing him as a liar and blackmailer.
The party chieftain described Atiku's comments about President Buhari and APC as misleading.
On his part, el-Rufai who spoke with State House reporters at the Villa on Friday, however, said her retention or otherwise as a cabinet minister should be at the discretion of the President.

What it means:
What this program says is that first, my data leaves the charter cable modem router in willimantic and goes onto the Earthlink network. The number
10.24.0.1 is the router here in Willimantic and
22.214.171.124 is the point where it leaves the Earthlink network and enters the AT&T network at
gbr1-a80s21.n54ny.ip.att.net as indicated by the
ny in the hostname.
Since UConn is on a different network than the charter pipeline service, I would expect that any data sent between me and UConn would need to switch networks to arrive at its destination. So my data then goes to New York City on the AT&T network and is transferred from NYC to a router in Washington DC
gbr3-p30.wswdc.ip.att.net (the
wdc in the hostname indicates Washington DC). Washington DC appears to be a hub for most networks including Qwest, which i'll describe later.
So then inside the AT&T network, my data is sent to Atlanta
gbr4-p90.attga.ip.att.net. In Atlanta, my data enters the Qwest network
atl-brdr-03.inet.qwest.net. I'm not sure what the border, core, and edge labels on the Qwest hostnames indicate, however they seem to show which part of the Qwest network the router is part of. The core seems to mean that the router is connected only to other routers that are part of the Qwest network. The border seems to indicate where data enters the network and the edge seems to indicate where it leaves the network to enter another network.
My data is now in Atlanta inside the Qwest network. It then goes back to Washington DC
wdc-core-03.inet.qwest.net. And from Washington, it then goes to JFK airport in New York City
jfk-core-01.inet.qwest.net. From JFK it leaves the Qwest network and enters a nameless router, which appears to link UConn to the Qwest network. Then it reaches a router at UConn
18.104.22.168. And from this router is goes directly a residential hall
To sum up the trip my data took from Willimantic to Storrs, which is a distance of only 8 miles, it left Willimantic and went to New York City (142 miles). Then to Washington DC (232 miles) and on to Atlanta (637 miles) where it switched networks and came back to Washington DC (637 miles). Then it went to JFK airport (234 miles) and finally to a residence hall in Storrs (141 miles). A trip of 2023 miles or 3,255,702 meters. Traveling at the speed of light, it takes 10ms round trip... with the exception of stops. each stop at a router adds time.

|Can SimpleIndex integrate with Microsoft SharePoint?
SimpleIndex® is designed around the idea that it is more efficient to have a scanner in every office, making imaging a part of the daily routine, instead of a separate company division.
SimpleIndex makes this possible by greatly reducing the cost and complexity of the capture interface and providing unique features that make it easy to implement throughout an organization. Distributed scanning is also made possible by the latest advances in fast, inexpensive desktop scanners.
By moving to distributed scanning, a company with many locations sees a huge ROI on shipping costs alone--not to mention the many dedicated employees necessary in a centralized scanning operation. Even with all these savings, turnaround is still greatly improved.
SimpleIndex brings imaging into a whole new era by making it possible for small companies to afford just one scanner and for large companies to afford one in every office.
Distributed capture applications use SimpleIndex to scan and index documents and SimpleSend to upload them automatically to a central server. There are several features you can use to make distributed capture easier to roll out and manage.

California is on to something. Make it big, make it noisy and make it quick. Politics in this state is normally a matter of money and the overwhelming power of professional consultants and lobbyists. This development is totally different. The recall and the election it will trigger are messy, unpredictable and populist. Look how the process has already pushed out Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Vista), its funding father. And we are being pushed into paying attention to our state government and its problems, something most of us would rather simply ignore.
Look at the bright side. The Terminator will probably get elected and might even get a majority vote. He is a moderate, rich enough not to have to earn his political keep from the corporate and special-interest powers and, as a nominal Republican, is able to act independently of party pressures. He has the best chance of any of the current players of getting that recalcitrant, party-driven logjam broken and developing a permanent solution to our structural ills. And if the Legislature won't play, he can take it to the people and sell it directly.
Allen J. Manzano
Issa spent a million and a half dollars and amassed the support to force this recall. Now Arnold Schwarzenegger, without spending a dollar or lifting any heavy weight, steals the show. If I were Issa, I'd cry too.

The final power of the Den of Temptation twist has been awarded to one Big Brother 19 Houseguest, but unlike the past two rounds, we didn't get the spoilers from the Live Feeds and are now waiting for the big reveal during tonight's Big Brother show.
Update: The mystery is over! The winner of the Halting Hex is… Jessica!
The "Halting Hex" was delivered to the game on Wednesday and its power will be huge. Here's how CBS describes the Hex: "Whether on the block or not, [the holder] can halt any one of the next four evictions during the live show, making it a non-eviction night." That's huge!
One lucky Houseguest is holding on to that power, but we still don't know who it is. Paul and Christmas both received an earlier Temptation, so they're out of the running leaving any of the other eleven players in the mix of options.
If you're going by our polling, the top expected recipients are Alex, Kevin, Jessica, Dominique, and Mark, in that order. Alex took just over 25% of the nearly 16,700 votes in our poll, which is a huge lead over Kevin at 11.4%, Jessica at 11.0%, and Dominique at 9.8%. But of course these are just the results of our poll which while more often right than not, is not the official result.
I won't be shocked to see any of those few Houseguests get the power, but given Alex's large lead and our poll being right the past two rounds I would most expect her to snag the power. However, if either Jessica or Dominique get the power it could make for a very exciting eviction night this week!
Shortly after the Feeds returned yesterday we saw Dominique move to the Lounge and sit quietly alone. There were no smiles flashed at the camera or "thanks!" shared with her fans. She did later make comments about stepping on snakes, what she previously called Paul, and putting "him" on the Block. Perhaps she got the power and wants to keep it closely guarded, but given her frequent camtalking I'd expect her to have shared the happy news while alone.
Jessica was extremely happy and jovial with the other Houseguests soon after the Feeds came back. She spoke of being terrified while appearing giddy. Maybe that was excitement over receiving the Hex power or maybe it was the news of a potential returning HG that has her worked up. I could see the hope of Cody's return having a similar effect. Later she also talked with Mark and Elena asking them to warn her if she was going so she wouldn't be blindsided. Could have been a way to get advance notice of needing to use her special power. Maybe.
Another likely option we were tracking was Alex. She soon went up to her HoH room and called Jason to join her. I thought for sure that was a big sign of incoming news. Nope. Nothing was said by her either alone to the cameras or to Jason when he arrived. Jason even tried to trick her by asking what she'd do with her new power, but she told him "nice try."
The Den of Temptation mystery continues! Lucky for us the wait won't go on much longer. CBS has promised us the final Temptation holder will be revealed during tonight's episode of Big Brother 19 so we'll be watching anxiously to find out who got it. This is a huge power and a definite game changer so I'm hopeful it'll land in the hands of someone who makes a big bang with it!

On June 20, 2014, the Government of Canada announced a series of reforms to overhaul the Temporary Foreign Worker Program ("TFWP"). These reforms, many of which are effective immediately, function to:
1. Re-organize the TFWP The former TFWP has been re-organized into two distinct programs:
The prevailing wage rate1 for an occupation, rather than its National Occupational Classification ("NOC") code, is now the starting point for assessing applications submitted to the TFWP (LMIA process), because the prevailing wage is said to constitute a more accurate reflection of occupational skill level and local labour market conditions. Jobs for which the prevailing wage is below the newly defined provincial or territorial median wage will be considered "low-wage," while those being paid at or above the provincial/territorial median wage will be considered "high-wage."In Atlantic Canada, the current provincial median wage rates are as follows:
The actual wage or salary offered or paid to a foreign worker has nothing to do with the determination of whether a position is considered to be low-wage or high-wage. That determination is based solely on how the prevailing wage rate for the occupation in question, in the applicable region of Canada, compares against the above-noted provincial median wage rate. The LMIA processing fee has increased from $275 to $1,000 per foreign worker.
2. Restrict access to the TFWP to ensure job opportunities for Canadians
It is more difficult to obtain an LMIA to confirm the employment of a foreign national in Canada than it was to obtain an LMO before June 20, 2014. The new process requires employers to provide additional information to ESDC for assessment, including the number of Canadians (and permanent residents) that applied for the job, the number of Canadians interviewed, and an explanation of why each Canadian was not hired. Transition Plans
With few exceptions, employers seeking to hire high-wage temporary foreign workers ("TFWs") are now required to submit a transition plan to demonstrate how they will increase efforts to hire and train Canadians/permanent residents for any position filled by a TFW. Employers will be required to report on the success of a transition plan if they apply for a subsequent LMIA to hire a foreign worker in the same NOC code, or if selected for an employer compliance inspection. Acceptable "recruitment and training activities" for a transition plan include increasing wages; employee referral incentive programs; offering part-time work or flexible hours; offering health insurance or other benefits; offering financial support for the relocation of Canadians or permanent residents; hiring a search firm; partnering with unions and industry associations to identify Canadians or permanent residents; ongoing recruitment advertising or a modified advertising plan that uses different sources and targets different audiences; offering apprenticeship/internships/co-op placements; paid leave for education; and on-the job training. As part of a transition plan, employers are also required to reach out to organizations serving groups traditionally underrepresented in the workforce such as new immigrants, Aboriginal people, youth and Canadians with disabilities about available positions within their organization. An employer can satisfy the transition plan requirement by undertaking to support a high-skilled (and high-wage) TFW in becoming a permanent resident of Canada. Recently, however, ESDC has suggested that employers will only be able to support the permanent residency of a TFW in fulfillment of the transition plan requirement for a given occupation in a particular work location once. In other words, if an employer returns to the TFWP to request an LMIA to confirm the employment of another TFW in the same or a similar role (to which the same NOC code applies) in the same location, the employer's transition plan activities cannot be limited to support for permanent residency only and must include recruitment, retention and training activities for Canadians/permanent residents. This policy is currently being applied inconsistently in different regions of Canada, but has the potential to significantly impact an employer's access to the TFWP. Employers may qualify for an exemption from the transition plan requirement if they are hiring TFWs for positions requiring unique skills or with a limited duration. ESDC has offered little guidance to date as to what constitutes a position requiring unique skills other than to say that a "nuclear physicist or senior executives such as Chief Executive Officer" might qualify. We are awaiting further clarification on the definition of "unique skills", but for now ESDC is applying a restrictive interpretation. They have indicated that only positions requiring skills so uncommon they are held by only a few individuals in the world will be eligible for the "unique skills" transition plan exemption. Limited duration positions are those jobs that will no longer exist when the TFW leaves Canada. Applications for time-limited LMIAs may not require a transition plan where the employment duration is:
10-Business day service standard
ESDC now offers a 10-business day service standard to process LMIA applications for the highest-demand occupations (skilled trades on a list of eligible occupations), the highest-paid occupations (with prevailing wage rates at or above the compensation level earned by the top 10 per cent of Canadians or permanent residents in a province or territory), and short-duration work periods (120 day or less). In Atlantic Canada, the current wage thresholds for the top 10 per cent of wage earners are as follows:
For greater clarity, positions paid in excess of the above-noted figures will not necessarily qualify for the 10-business day processing standard. To qualify, an occupation's prevailing wage rate must meet or exceed the 90th percentile figures noted.
Various other measures were introduced that pertain exclusively to the employment of low-wage TFWs. In summary, these changes include:
3. Implement stronger enforcement mechanisms and penalties for non-compliance
ESDC has significantly increased the number of employer compliance inspections so that one in four employers using TFW will be inspected each year. Inspections are triggered randomly, as a result of tips from the public, or when employers are deemed by the Government of Canada to be at high risk of non-compliance. ESDC expects to obtain legal authority to compel banks and payroll companies to provide records to help their inspectors verify an employer's compliance with the rules of the TFWP.
Beginning in the fall of 2014, fines of up to $100,000 (depending on the severity of the offence) are expected to be imposed on employers who break the rules of the TFWP.Employers suspected of criminal activity under IRPA will be referred to the Canada Border Services Agency ("CBSA"). Under IRPA an employer can be charged for (a) employing a foreign national without the proper authorization to work in Canada; (b) counselling misrepresentation; and (c) committing misrepresentation. CBSA will receive additional resources to investigate criminal offences by employers under IRPA.Better information sharing agreements are being negotiated between federal government departments and between the federal and provincial governments so that employers who violate provincial labour laws, occupational health and safety standards or recruiting laws will be restricted from accessing the TFWP.
ESDC can suspend LMIAs when an employer is suspected of breaching the rules of the TFWP, and can revoke LMIAs when, following an investigation, an employer is found to be non compliant. Non-compliant employers will also be banned from using the TFWP and fined. The list of employers who have had LMIAs suspended or revoked is available online at: http://www.esdc.gc.ca/eng/jobs/foreign-workers/employers_revoked.shtml
1. The prevailing wage rate for an occupation is defined by ESDC as the median wage paid for a particular occupation in a given geographical area according to the Government of Canada. Prevailing wage rates can be ascertained online at Explore Careers by Wages - Job Bank.2. These wage levels are based on Statistics Canada's Labour Force Survey and will be updated annually.

Topic: cowboys & indians & punk phylosophy
This is a exert form a letter a wrote to a friend about my punk phylosophy
I don't think staright ,normal nights out changed that much in the 60's & 70's
I have always hated weddings.
It's the only time i was ever socialising with so called "normal" people.
I would usually be the only one , unless it was a punk wedding.
I would sut there & take all the funny comments.
My old punk mate 's parents were obsessed with the wild west .
His dad used to go to the local dressed as a cowboy with the guns on & everything.
He was in this cowboy & western club .
Me & my mate went one night [1977] dressed in our punk clothes.
We sat there & all these people dressed in wild west gear were laughing at the way we dressed.We started laughing to each other.so my mate's dad said "what you laughing at"
we said "were 16 yrs old ,you lot are in your 50's dressed like cowboys & Indians & you think we look stupid"?lol!
We were never taken agian.lol!
It really annoys me how punk is perceived these days.& what it became when OI! came along. Punk was very aggressive & very energetic but in a possitive way.It got people of there arses trying to change things for the better of everyone .
indealism in practice!
.It Gave a lot of people like myself who come from working class backgrounds the confidence to change your life for the better.
You felt you could do anything.
Before that you knew what to expect from life it was mapped out for you.You would either follow your dad into his trade or you went down to the local factory for a life waiting for the weekend to come. I was able to mix freely with people of different genders & culture's without there being some perceived ulterior motive. Everyone was comfortable with each other.
I left school with no qualifications, although i was n't thick.
I had no motivation for learning.
I learned everything i needed to know about life being involved in the punk movement.
It was a great learning process & the great thing was ?it wasn't forced upon you .
you just learned as you went along. It had a very powerful effect on me.
It was Life changing & gave you the confidence to revaluate everything you had been taught
keep what was useful & dump the rest. It also gave you confidence to explore life & find out about things for your self .
My two philosophies which i lived by which i learned from those days are "live life your self ,not through others ["do it your self! don't read about other people's adventure's]
& " do what ever you like in life ,as long as you don't set out to hurt anyone"
This more of a life styles option.
This is what is meant by the punks version of "Anarchy" it meant "personal anarchy" destroy
the person the system as created & re create yourself. It was about individualism , not the selfish type.a world full of diverse individuals all working for the better of everyone.
Nowadays Punks history starts with the sex pistols,Clash then jumps to all those OI!, punk bands. All the other bands from 77/79 have been araised from memory
The OI/punk movement was predominantly working class.
But they wanted the working class to enprison it's self ,they didn't want people to escape & better them selfs .They celebrated everything that was crap about being working class
The violence ,poor housing lack of job opportunities & they wallowed in the self pity.
They became the media's perceived version of what punk was about.
It was" inverted snobbery"
Musically it all became stail.it was all 9omiles an hour & everyone dressed the same
it became a uniform mohawks ,leather jacket,boots tartan bondage trousers.
all this was exacatly the oppisite of what punk was about
All the 77/79 bands sounded & looked different..
iam stopping there in fear of wearing you out trying to read this essay lol!
you get the idea?

— UPDATE 23rd November —
We've collected a bunch of ROK grinder videos that address some of the topics covered in our review, here: http://blog.espressounplugged.com/2015/11/23/rok-coffee-grinder-videos/
We also did some more static tests and tried out the Ross Droplet Technique, here: http://blog.espressounplugged.com/2015/10/14/using-the-ross-droplet-technique-for-coffee-grinder-static/
Now that Indiegogo backers' ROK grinders have started shipping we're seeing some in depth feedback and reviews online. Overall, the feedback has been positive, both from those folks lucky enough to have already received their grinders and also by the team here at Espresso Unplugged.
We do share some of the minor gripes we've noted in various reviews and have detailed them below. It should be noted that none of these niggling issues have diminished our enjoyment and appreciation for the product. It's a great bit of kit. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, we don't sell gear we don't use and love.

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Wal-Mart Stores Inc.'s turnaround strategy is on a rocky path littered with uncertainty, according to a Goldman Sachs analyst who Monday called for senior management changes and cut her rating on the shares.
"Wal-Mart's strategy seems to be in flux," Adrianne Shapira said in a research note in which she lowered her rating on the stock to neutral from buy. The world's largest retailer had a tough fiscal 2006 and is likely to find that fiscal year 2007 is one of transition, at best.
Wal-Mart WMT, -0.10% shares were off marginally to $47.15.
While Wal-Mart has touted improved return on invested capital as a major goal, it has stumbled in its efforts to step up sales with initiatives that havent gained traction, she said. Wal-Mart has tried to entice better-heeled customers to buy apparel and electronics - what Wal-Mart calls "crossing the aisle" - at the same time that it has been cutting prices and advertising them broadly as a means to attract bargain-hunters and lower-income customers.
As a result, Shapira said, Wal-Mart appears to be "straddling the fence, attempting to do both and not garnering much success," she said. Last week Wal-Mart said sales at stores open longer than a year, the industry's benchmark of growth, rose 1.6% in December, up from November's 0.1% decline.
"Will Wal-Mart continue to target incremental sales from higher-end consumers," she queried. "Or will the company go back to its roots to reinforce its pricing message?"
Considering that the strategy is uneven, Shapira said she thinks some "critical senior management positions" might be changed.
"There are clear voids in marketing and merchandising missteps suggest the need for some new talent," she said. "More leadership change means more strategy change, which all adds time to the turnaround."

The Wildlife Center also has need of a variety of supplies that are hand-crafted. We do have plans and instructions for each of these projects below.
Cutting & Taping
- Tail guards: When raptors are admitted to the Wildlife Center, they often require an extended stay in the Wildlife Center's clinic. This means they may be housed in small enclosures while they heal. During this time, the veterinary team apply tail guards to the birds' tails -- a stiff plastic cover that prevents breakage in the tail feathers. These tail guard instructions simply require cutting and taping, though do also require a special kind of plastic file folder for waterproof protection. Please note: The most commonly used (and needed) sizes of tail guards are for Red-tailed Hawks, Bald Eagles, and Cooper's Hawks. WCV does not use screech-owl sized tail guards, but they are included in case you'd like to share this document with another rehabilitation facility.
- Raptor Wrappers: The veterinary staff use "raptor wrappers" at the Wildlife Center on "weigh days" -- the wrappers are useful tools to quickly contain raptors for weighing, making the weighing process safer for both birds and humans. Please note: As of October 2012, the Wildlife Center has a good selection of raptor wrappers. However, if you'd like to add to our stockpile, we do share these items with other permitted rehabilitators. We also like to have back-ups since we send the laundry to an off-site laundering facility.
- Booties: Other sewing projects include making foot wraps for pelagic birds and other birds with sensitive feet. While these aquatic birds often swim during the day during their hospitalization, the staff will "dry dock" the birds at night. During this time, it's important to keep those sensitive feet protected so that the birds don't injure themselves. Please note that these instructions specify which material to use -- other soft, pre-shrunk, non-loopy fabric will also work. May 2017: We're currently all set on booties!
- Program Crate Covers: Every time an education ambassador animal participates in an on-site or off-site program, the animal travels in a crate. A crate cover provides the animal with privacy as it travels; the covers also add to the professional look of the Wildlife Center outreach team. Please note: Neutral crate covers only; no patterns or bright colors. These are best created as a "set" of three or four, so that the same color of crate cover can be used for multiple travel crates for the same program/event.
- Reptariums: The rehabilitation staff use a variety of reptariums for songbirds each year -- meaning that we have a lot in use during the busy summer months! While reptariums can be purchased through reptile supply vendors, they can also be created by those with sewing skills!
For additional information, please contact the Wildlife Center at 540.942.9453 or at firstname.lastname@example.com

Ernie Renner is one of a rare breed of government bureaucrat -- one that is welcomed by businessmen.
As director of the Best Manufacturing Practices (BMP) Center of Excellence in College Park, Mr. Renner's mission is to scout out the best methods used by American industry, write them up and then distribute the information to thousands of other manufacturing operations through booklets and an electronic database available to anyone with a computer and a modem.
With a 20-person staff, the operation acts like an industrial honeybee, picking up information pollen from one factory flower and spreading it to other plants. The only difference is that the flower gets to decide which nuggets of information are let loose.

SunTV on DirecTV
Dear Tamil enthusiasts, I recently switched from Dish Network to DirecTV since the HD package on DirecTV was $10 cheaper than on Dish network. Unfortunately. as part of the DirecTV package I was stuck with getting Vijay TV with no option to get SunTV. I used to watch SunTV on Dish Net and loved that channel. Now watching Vijay TV is like watching paint dry, its too boring. I called DirecTV to check if there was any way I could get SunTV on DirecTV. I was told the only way that could happen is if they get enough requests from DirecTV subscribers to get SunTV. I went ahead and put in my request. I am writing this mail to request everyone who has DirecTV and who would like to watch SunTV to please take some time and call DirecTV and request SunTV. If there are a large number of requests we may have the opportunity to watch SunTV on DirecTV and not have to put up with watching grass grow. You can call DirecTV at 1-800-494-4388 and talk to a customer service rep. Please don't delay, even if you don't watch Tamil channels please do this for your fellow Indian friends who do. Thanks

Turkey's President has criticized foreign diplomats who attended the trial of two prominent journalists in a show of support for media freedoms in Turkey, the Associated Press reports.
Can Dundar and Erdem Gul went on trial on Friday accused of espionage and terror charges for their reports on alleged government arms shipments to Syrian rebels. The government says their reports are part of a conspiracy to bring it down.
In a speech in Istanbul Saturday, March 25, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused the diplomats present at the opening hearing of "violating" boundaries and siding with those want to carry out "a coup" against the government.
"Who do you think you are? … This is not your country, this is Turkey." Erdogan said.
The trial was adjourned to April 1, when it will proceed behind closed doors.

Podcast Series | Meet Dr. Bobbi Wegner
Doctor Entrepreneurship Podcast Series
Klara is on a mission to inspire and help modern people within the modern healthcare system to reach new heights in their own lives through access to communication. One way we do this is by featuring inspirational doctors who have started entrepreneurial ventures or have grown their practice in successful way. We are focused on connecting people for a better future.
Introducing our guest, Dr. Bobbi Wegner.
If you're not able to tune in, check out the transcript of our conversation below:
Hello and welcome to the Klara podcast series on doctor entrepreneurship. Today we are speaking with dr. Bobbi Wegner who is here to discuss her experience as a clinical psychologist.
That being said, Dr. Wegner, could you please introduce yourself, and give a little detail on your background and experiences.
I'm a clinical psychologist at an integrated psychotherapy and behavioral medicine practice in Brookline, Mass called Boston Behavioral Medicine. I've been here since 2008 after working at a number of different medical senders and came here to really specialize in integrated psychotherapy and behavioral medicine.
So I've worked here, I do a lot of stress management using behavioral medicine techniques like clinical hypnosis and mindfulness to biofeedback to treat symptoms. Over the years I've developed a specialty in working with primarily new mothers but young and new parents to manage kind of normative anxiety around having kids and incorporate mindfulness into the home to have a calmer and more stress-free parenting experience and home life for their entire family.
With that, how have you grown your practice over the years?
How did I develop it? Yeah it's grown, I mean honestly I've joined a group practice and we've really had it going and over the years its really really flourished. Unfortunately I can't see everyone that reaches out to me each week because there is such a demand out there and we have such a specialized practice in behavioral medicine and stress management and there's such a need out there.
So I think part of it for me was really connecting with other providers as a behavioral medicine practice we would work often with medical offices and physicians. It was really about networking and developing good relationships with people. Some would send us a patient and then I would contact with them and then once physicians would feel comfortable and confident that we had good clinical skills, good people and could have a good rapport, then it was sort of easy, I guess to go from there.
What has been your biggest accomplishment in your career?
My biggest accomplishment… Well something that is most exciting to me now is [sic] so I have this specialty in stress management. Then seeing this need with new moms and young parents I have realized there's a lot of pressure in our culture to be perfect in a lot of ways and this is what happens for parents. I guess parents feel this way often that they want to be the perfect parent, that they want to have perfect children and they feel a lot of stress and shame that, you know, when things go wrong.
People don't talk about it because they feel like parenting should be easy or natural and they learned that parenting is very bumpy, we all make mistakes, and I have three children myself. As a psychologist I know all the right things to do, and it's still really difficult. So I started running groups to connect parents to talk about some of these things and learn skills to manage some of this at home like what to do when your kid is having a complete meltdown for the fifth time in one day, and you're at your wits end, you just want to run away, what you actually do in that situation.
So I started groups to work on that, and from that, I started writing for the Milton Times, and have a regular column called Raising & Roasting: The Food and Psychology of Modern Day Parenthood. I've gotten a lot of great feedback about that. People write in to me, they say they can really identify. I write from a psychological perspective but I also use my own personal experience as a mother.
I try to share more. In my profession as a psychologist there's oftentimes not a lot of transparency, and I feel like so much is lost with that. It's important to kind of be honest about your experience. I've used this talent to really do that.
From there, I launched a podcast. So [the podcast is] interviewing parents to talk about their experience, what works, what doesn't, to share tips, to share with everyone. So that's also called Raising and Roasting and I'm working on a book now too under the same title.
It's really exciting, I'm really proud of it. It's a really fun thing that I'm working on.
Do you have any advice for physicians or therapists looking to grow their practice or launch a new venture?
I think psychology in a lot of ways can be a bit slower on the entrepreneurship end. There's this thing because we're this very private field where you don't want to put yourself out there too much because just historically, you haven't shared, or you want to keep things private.
I really think that there is a way for therapists to be out there and to market yourself. Also, [there is a way] to respect the confidentiality of the individuals and the groups that you are working with.
I would say to really just get out there and connect with people, to network, and do what you want to do. Make a plan. Schedule time to work on a special project or to market your practice and to actually do it. Schedule time in your day to commit to it.
I think scheduling comes up a lot as one of the biggest issues especially professionals find. Just finding small snippets of time to achieve smaller goals.
I think that's totally true. It's like picking something - so I'm working on writing right now. I'm trying to set aside at least a half an hour each day right, and if I don't do that then time just passes. We're all very busy and you just have to commit to it and do.
Last I would just ask you if you have anything else to share with the audience.
I think it's just follow your dreams. We all have ideas and sometimes think it may not be good enough or valid enough. If you're interested in it, you have to know that someone else out there is too. So really get a plan, talk to people about it, and go for it.
Thank you so much for speaking with us today. It was great having you.

I've finished another old kit from my stash.
It is the Cornflower Accent from Periwinkle Promises.
The pattern was copyrighted in 1997 so I've had it for a while. Actually, this is my third accent and my guess is they were all purchased around the same time.
The Acorn Accent was my first one and I initialed and dated it in 1998.
Next was the Antique Accent which wasn't initialed and dated.
My guess is that it was finished shortly after the first one. I vaguely remember working on it while traveling, doing one band every night.
After that something else new must have come along because the last kit didn't get done until now. I know that when looking for a travel project, I'd always consider it. But then I would decide to take something else because of the beads. Well, now it's done.
Unlike some of my other old kits, this one was easy to find on the web. In fact, you can still get the kits at the link above. I was surprised at how may others were available. My box of old kits is still full so I resisted the urge to get more.
Back to the box ... this time I think I'll get something less counted ...

"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might" (Ephesians 6.10 NKJV).
People talk about a lot about being strong. Strength seems to be synonymous with someone who has everything together—all their ducks in a row. Strength helps people perform, advance and succeed in all areas of life. But what people don't realize is that human strength will not achieve the victory in God's Kingdom. Personal strength can only go so far, and most of the time God calls us to conquer things that are way beyond our current ability. The only way to thrive doing God's will is to rely on His strength, power and might. We gain a supernatural strength when we have a firm reliance on God's strength. As we become fully aware of how strong God is and how powerfully He can move in our obedience, we learn to tap into His might. We will never be strong enough to achieve the amazing things that God has planned for us, but God knows this. He bequeaths His strength to those willing to accept and wield it. God's strength is a gift that must be used in order to accomplish great and mighty deeds for His glory. Our arms may be weak, our emotions may be compromised and our perseverance may be floundering, but God is consistent in His might. We simply need to step into a power that is rightfully ours through the Finished World of Jesus Christ on the Cross.
"So he said to me, 'This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: "Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,"' says the Lord Almighty" (Zechariah 4.6 NIV).
