Daewoo Diesel Forklifts
Within the material handling business, the forklift has become a key piece of machinery. This machine is also called a forklift or a powered industrial truck and is able to lift heavy goods and supplies. These trucks changed the warehousing and the manufacturing businesses. Now they are considered to be vital for material handling and are utilized for a wide range of applications.
The lift truck needs an operator who uses the control levers to move goods and materials around the worksite, usually a warehouse or factory. Businesses which own their own lift trucks should maintain the equipment to make certain they have a long lifespan. Similar to any machinery parts, lift truck components, are susceptible to wear and tear and will eventually become worn. In order to ensure the forklift functions efficiently and safely, you should occasionally replace damaged or worn parts. Each lift truck part is made for a particular purpose. Below is a list of some forklift attachments and their purposes:
Forklift Fork Positioner: The forklift fork positioner is a hydraulic attachment which helps to position the forks. It can move the forks either at the same time or separately. Without the forklift fork positioner, the operator of the forklift must manually adjust forklift forks for various cargo sizes.
Side Shifter: The side shifter is a hydraulic attachment which allows the lift truck operator to laterally shift both the forklift forks and the backrest. This type of attachment makes it easier to position the load without having to change the position of the truck.
Pole Attachments: These long metal poles are designed to carry carpet rolls. The poles work better for this purpose than forklift forks.
Telescopic Forklift Forks: Telescopic forklift forks are hydraulic attachments which allow the operator to unload and load from a single side by handling two pallets of various sizes at the same time. This specific attachment is great for handling pallets in 'double deep racking'.

Walk down any British high street as of late and you may in all probability be able to depend a minimum of 5 or 6 completely different cafes and coffee shops. Ranging in size and style from the independents to the chain stores. Cafe culture has elevated to such a stage that in London alone there are….(heaps!) It is actually unattainable to rely as there appears to be a brand new one open everyday! For instance, the most important of the major chain cafes in the UK; Costa, have over 1500 dotted around the UK! And that's just one chain, not forgetting Starbucks, Cafe Nero and the others I've forgotten. Thanks very much for your remark, and thanks for together with your expertise with the baby sling. It's nice to get examples from readers. How great you might have pretty reminiscences of traveling together with your son. I am not positive if it is attainable to get ache treatment whereas on the highway. I can get my Femara and Lipitor simply however I am a bit apprehensive concerning the ache meds. Nice lens, I wish you all secure, gratifying, fun-packed and problem-free trips with your Elvis 🙂 Blessed! I made this journey in an excessive amount of of a rush last time I drove from LA to JAX. I stay up for a extra liesurely strategy utilizing your glorious recommendation. Thanks!
The visa process is tremendous simple and can all be completed online. See the hyperlink below. It took less than 48 hours to get accredited. Applying for an Australian visa I tremendous easy, but there are a few restrictions. You can solely work 6 months for one firm over your yearlong stay. A whole lot of corporations have separate branches which can be utilized as a loophole and allows you to work for a full yr below two firms". There are quite a lot of alternatives for work here in Australia, however I'll be utterly honest. You will have to work arduous to discover a good job. I spent 2.5 weeks sending out resumes and interviewing before I found a good job. Before shifting out right here I would at the least enable for four-5 weeks before you find something you like. Sites like and are greatest for locating work, but nothing beats phrase of mouth. I highly suggest staying in a hostel while you first arrive to find out about extra alternatives.
When on the lookout for places to volunteer, try to avoid being made to pay giant amounts of cash. Now, it would in all probability price you one thing (travel to the situation, perhaps food when you're there), however do not let them cost you to work. Unless it is one thing you truly wish to do or will benefit your future profession, look for something that leaves you the best way it discovered you. Some car rental companies will not all their rental vehicles to be taken into the Czech Republic (automobile theft is outwardly an enormous downside).
I'm hoping to travel to Brazil and stick with a good friend for 2 weeks in July. I've the whole lot but my Visa. The post office is on strike in his state and I am waiting on his notarized letter of invitation since I'm staying with him and his household and not paying to remain in a hotel. Also, I had been advised that residents of NC had to go to go to DC for his or her Visas. I'm operating out of time for my visa and I do know I want this letter but it surely hasn't arrived but. I haven't purchased my tickets yet however I have no other way of showing an itinerary but I do not want to spend a fortune on tickets after which be denied. I'm very pressured and fear that I am doing all of this for nothing and simply going to be denied. Any assist or steerage could be much appreciated. Thank you on your time.
I would never purchase this one. My cat would tear it aside in minutes. Why do they make these horrible web mesh in all places without any spare flaps and security zippers??? I've checked this one in a pet retailer, it is unreliable. Coming from Colorado we miss being near the ocean. My favorite half was seeing the Gulf of Mexico for many, many miles. Based mostly on web evaluations and suggestions from some locals, Blue Star Ferries is the perfect of all the ferry operators. Both Blue Star and Anek Traces have overnight ferries to Santorini and in addition provide cabins accommodation (bed and loo).

Learning doesn't have to come to an end when school finishes for the summer! Introduce your child to new and fun experiences with Sylvan's summer camps in Cartersville.

- Study Skills (Grades 4-12): The new school year brings new responsibilities and challenges along with it, but you can watch the stress levels go down as we help your child develop practical time management and organization skills.
- Fit4Algebra (Grades 6-9): Algebra may have a reputation for being tough, but our activities are tailored to help kids handle tricky algebra concepts to come.
- Writing (Grades 4-9): The end results of our Writing camp are stronger writing skills, greater confidence and a portfolio of work that includes everything from web copy to movie reviews.
Our STEM Summer Camps Include:
- Robotics & Science (Grades 1-6): What better way to hone problem solving and STEM skills than creating your very own LEGO® robot? Using LEGO® bricks and award-winning software, your child will build, program and animate amazing robots, unleashing his or her imagination and creativity along the way. It doesn't get any cooler than that!
- Engineering (Grades 1-8): How are machines, super structures and other cool constructions built? Your child will learn the answers through our innovative, hands-on projects that include designing, evaluating and reconstructing creations based on real-life structures.
- Coding (Grades 3-8): Using our exclusive Tynker™ technology platform, kids get to create their own animations and video games! Younger kids will start off with the fundamentals of coding, while older children will gain more advanced skills by diving into JavaScript and Python Coding.

Publisher's Description▼▲
This completely revised and updated edition of Why Pro-Life? offers factual answers to the central issues of the abortion debate in a concise, non-abrasive way. Infused with grace and compassion, and grounded in medical science and psychological studies, Randy Alcorn presents a solid case for defending both unborn children and their mothers.
Chapters such as, "What Makes a Human Life 'Meaningful,'" "Is Abortion Really a Women's Rights Issue," and "How Can I Help Unborn Babies and Their Mothers" help readers to look at the many sides of this polarizing issue. For those on the fence in the midst of the abortion debate, this book will be a great resource as it clearly and thoroughly examines the pro-life position. For those who are pro-life already, this book is an encouragement to be intelligently and graciously informed.

Eric has always been wary when it comes to intimate relationships. The fact that he turns into a flamingo when the full moon is out really doesn't make it easy to find a boyfriend--or to keep one. Even after ten months with Dan, he still hasn't gotten up the nerve to share his secret.
But Dan has been offered a new job on the other side of the country, and Florida native Eric is having trouble explaining why moving to the mountains would be a bad idea. He'll have to shake a tailfeather if he wants to convince Dan to stay before it's too late.
Things get even more complicated when a new Were shows up in town. Eric might be moving north, whether he likes it or not, but it may not be in the way he thought.

There are more than 33 million people in Bangladesh who live below the poverty line. They can be seen on streets all over the capital; tired, hungry and, more often than not, exploited. Often, these little boys and girls become involved in dangerous and corrupt professions, forced to do whatever it takes to put food in their bellies. As they grow up, they are absorbed into the tide of destitution that plagues this small nation. Later generations fall in step, unable to break out of the mould. This creates a vicious cycle that has held most of Bangladesh in its grasp for decades. We are striving to put a stop to this. We move forward with a vision of having a free of cost school in every district of Bangladesh. Every day we work towards building a better future where every child in Bangladesh will receive quality education.

When investigating modern flashlight technology, advances in bulbs and design are indeed revolutionary, but the most fundamental aspect of the flashlight, the power source, has also enjoyed the most remarkable change in design. Indeed, in the beginning of flashlight history was defined by the challenging aspect of reliable power. The initial flashlights used non-efficient carbon-filament type bulbs, "resting" was essential at short intervals. The name, flashlight, is in existence because, although a life-saving piece of equipment, the first design could only sustain its illumination in sporadic intervals… leading to the nickname highlighting a temporal 'flash' of light.
Flashlights, since the beginning of their invention have been tools for life-saving safety as well as equipment for recreational activity. Properly learning how to design products that meet all needs, applying the latest design and manufacturing developments has inspired companies like stream-light, mag-light, and others have created unique types of flashlights, never before available for civilian use at affordable prices. how to meet the needs for all types of people. The Company recognizes it diverse mix of customers such as Law Enforcement, Firefighters, Low-light shooting enthusiasts, Hunters, Fishermen, Outdoor and even Sports enthusiasts.
Flashlights have become so commonplace and are used in so many situations; it is easy to take them for granted. Initially, the "electric hand-torch" was developed using a relatively simple design, intended to run on the then common zinc–carbon batteries. The term "Flashlight" was coined because Conrad Hubert's original design required intervals of rest after short periods of use due to its inability to provide a continuous current of electricity. Although Mr. Hubert's design was comparatively simple, the invention was due, in part to the then recent inventions of the electric battery and the electric bulb, respectively.
5.11 Tactical is known for quality Law Enforcement Uniform and Tactical-Style Pants. The 5.11 Tactical Team has evolved to offer extensive selections and a multitude of various styles. 5.11 Tactical professional style pants are incredibly durable, but more than that, they have mastered multi-purpose, functional gear that works perfectly for demanding professions and now, they offer pants in many different styles. Tactical Pants, TDU Pants, EMS Pants, Uniform Pants, Outerwear Pants, Women's Pants to name a few.
With the decrease in federal and state funding for public safety personnel over the past few years, there has been a rise in the need for private security guards and officers. From the watchman that protects private property to the more aggressive investigators and private police that actually make arrests and work more in tandem with police departments, employment for security officers is definitely on the rise. This rise in the security industry also means that related industries that serve these professionals like security guard uniforms and security guard gear manufacturers are also giving more attention to their specific needs.

Childlike Trust Series
Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 22, 2005 (message contributor)
Summary: In this study we look at broken things - trust, relationships, and priorities. But we also see how by simple child like trust in God, that which is broken can be mended.
For more Bible studies visit: www.CalvaryChapelNewberg.org
Surrounded by plenty in this country we lose sight of the really important things. We live in such a throw-away society that we think having things is more important than having relationships, and in a time when people's word means nothing and where promises are broken with little or no thought we seem unable to trust anyone or anything.
So Jesus addresses this issue in the first half of Mark chapter 10. He does so by looking at three areas: broken relationships, broken trust, and broken priorities.
We begin with the Pharisees once again trying to trip Jesus up by pointing out a seeming contradiction in the Law.
1 Jesus then left that place and went into the region of Judea and across the Jordan. Again crowds of people came to him, and as was his custom, he taught them.
2 Some Pharisees came and tested him by asking, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?"
3 "What did Moses command you?" he replied.
4 They said, "Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away."
Jesus is a Master at this - of course. But look what He does. First He points these men right back to the Word of God. That is always always the best way to avoid useless arguments over someone's interpretation or idea of what God is like.
The Pharisees thought Jesus was referring to:
Deut 24:1:1 If a man marries a woman who becomes displeasing to him because he finds something indecent about her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house.
A couple of things here:
1. This law was actually a beginning of trying to handle things that were already going on in a way that protects the woman. Women were marginalized in that society and what this law did was make the husband have to think twice before just shoving the woman out on her own - a situation that could have meant life or death for the woman. Now he'd have to give an official document.
2. Divorce is inevitable - whether for abuse, either emotional or physical, or for infidelity. But as we will see, it is not God's desire, but a way to have order in a fallen world.
3. Notice that Jesus asked about Moses' command - while the Pharisees talked about Moses permitted action. Jesus was not actually thinking about Deuteronomy but Genesis when he spoke.
5 "It was because your hearts were hard that Moses wrote you this law,"
What was happening was that men had found all kinds of loopholes to the Deuteronomy statute. There are tales of men finding their wives cooking indecent and divorcing them. As Jesus said, it was men's hard hearts that led to this statute - one to protect the woman from being victimized.
What happened is that they practiced serial monogamy. Technically they were married to one person at a time - but whenever they grew tired of one wife they divorced her and married another - and so on.
Jesus replied. 6 "But at the beginning of creation God 'made them male and female.' 7'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, 8 and the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."
This comes from Genesis 1:27 and 2:24.
Jesus is saying - "your focus should not be on what you can get away with and still be legal - your focus should be on preserving what God created unless the damage or danger is too great."
Divorce is wrong, because it severs a union God created. But it is permitted - Jesus talked of infidelity in Matthew 5 and 19. Paul talks of divorce if an unbelieving spouse leaves (1 Cor 7:15). In that section of 1st Corinthians there is also the suggestion that abuse is also where divorce is permitted.
But here's the overall principal: Just because a relationship is broken doesn't mean it should be severed. Often at the real core of marital problems other than those mentioned here is that one or both spouses have stopped 1-giving themselves to the other, and 2- stopped giving the marriage to God.
In Ephesians chapter 5, Paul talks about the self-giving nature of marital love. Too often it is harbored resentment or unforgiveness - or downright selfishness that leads to marital strife. Husbands - be a servant leader in your marriage. And wives - respect your husbands and build them up instead of tearing them down.
Secondly - do you pray for your marriage?
Eccl 4:12 Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

2008 was a year of turmoil and unpredictability. In March, New York Governor, Eliot Spitzer resigned office after being caught up in a sex scandal with a prostitute. Spitzer further shocked his constituents by announcing that he would be leaving his wife to move in with a woman simply known as Delicious. He said until he could get back on his feet, Delicious would continue in her present career, which he described as public relations.
The Democrats, who entered their convention in
Denver without any candidate with enough
delegates, settled upon compromise candidate
Amy Carter. Carter said that she alone was
prepared for the 3 AM telephone call,
because she already had 4 years of
experience in the White House.
President elect The Right Reverend I. M. A.
Fony was the surprise candidate of a far
right splinter sect of the Republican party.
Unhappy with candidate, John McCain,
spokeswoman, Anne Vulture said that
this is our opportunity to rule, I mean
Fony announced that his first act as President would be to federalize the Connecticut national guard to help quell a potential uprising in neighboring New York State. The uprising began when Governor elect Rosie O'Donnell announced that New York would secede from the union if Fony was elected.
The rarely used Connecticut National guard will be wearing their traditional uniforms consisting of sweaters loosely draped around the shoulders and penny loafers without socks.
In response to Fony, O'Donnell said that she would mobilize the highly regarded Coney Island division of the New York National Guard. There is some question if the Coney Island division will be clad in their traditional uniforms of bikini bathing suits with stiletto heels.
For a time it appeared that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama would run as fourth party candidates, but they could never agree who would head the ticket.
When asked for what he would do now, President George W. Bush simply said, "I'm going to Disney World."

DIFC, home to some of Dubai's best and most talked about restaurants, has welcomed a new Peruvian purveyor to the fold – Totora Cebicheria Peruana.
A locale loved by financiers and foodies alike, DIFC hosts heavyweight culinary competition in the form of Zuma and LPM, both just scraping into this year's World's 50 Best 51-100 list. In a market some might say overloaded with Peruvian and Pan-Latin restaurants, does the new kid on the block hold it's own?
What we ordered:
Champiñones – 45
Button, eryngii and enoki mushrooms, lime juice, inka corn, coriander
Cebiche De Barrio – 65
Octopus, shrimps, sea bass, boiled cassava, chulpi corn, rocoto leche de tigre
Empanadas – 35
Beef, aji panca, chimichurri sauce
Anticuchos De Carne – 70
Ribeye, grilled potato, choclo corn
We started with ceviches of the seafood and vegetarian variety – and one thing we notice about both is Totora really wants you to experience the authentic Peruvian way of doing things – and that seems to be with hefty doses of lime juice. The seafood was top notch and of very high quality, this pescetarian variation containing tigre leche, or tiger milk, making it creamier and more mellow than the mushroom counterpart, which was lime all the way. For me, this vegetarian take was too heavy on the lime note, making it too sour on the palate. Personally I would have liked some more sweetness to balance out the flavour profile. I was informed however that they are importing the majority of their ingredients from Peru, and once they have the variety of limes they want arriving at the degree of ripeness they want, that this sharp edge might soften.
The next stop on our Peruvian culinary tour encompassed two personal favourites of mine, empanadas and anticuchos. Both widely showcased in Dubai, I was curious to see how Totora's versions would stack up against the pan-Latin posse. The empanadas were a winner, quite sweet to the taste which was a nice and unexpected counterpart to the forthcoming wave of chili heat, and the pastry was stunning. Very well executed. They were decently priced at 35dhs, but I'd prefer to see them prepared in a serving size of four rather than three – bit of an odd number especially if you're a party of two or four.
The anticuchos had nice spice and the aji sauce was pleasant too, but the meat was a bit tough for my liking. I asked if they would be able to use the same meat from the lomo saltado (more on why soon) but I was told this is a different cut, rib eye vs tenderloin. A little less time on the grill perhaps and I think these would go down a treat. It's another dish I'd prefer to see in a serving size of four rather than three (and omit the potato discs if need be) as it's tricky to split an anticucho between diners.
They are served with a smattering of kernels of an amazing variety of corn I'd never tried before, Choclo corn. Wikipedia tells me it's also referred to as Peruvian corn or Cuzco corn, and it's a large kernel variety from the Andes. It has a great chewy texture and the way in which it was served to us at Totora made it taste like aniseed – amazing! Rather perplexing for the tastebuds to reconcile at first, and though my dining companion wasn't a fan, I absolutely loved it. I'm a liquorice addict though, so this was bliss – I even asked for an extra bowl of the delicious golden nuggets and they kindly complied. Heaven! I love discovering new-ish foods and this one was certainly relevant to my interests.
Next up was the main event, which always makes me a little nervous – Dubai has a habit of producing great starters, but often falls down when it comes to main courses. I needn't have worried, as Totora passed this section of the dinner with flying colours. Dishes are served sharing style (I'm not sure there's any other way these days) and here's what we decided to try:
Quinotto – 95
White quinoa, portobello mushrooms, aji amarillo, white wine, parmesan cheese, black truffle oil
Arroz con Pato – 95
Duck, aji amarillo, aji panca, rice, coriander, dark beer
Quinoa Salad – 60
Red quinoa, mixed lettuce, asparagus, avocado, cherry tomato, baby spinach
Lomo Saltado – 130
Tenderloin, baby potatoes, cherry tomatoes, dark soya sauce, coriander, onion
My favourite of the main courses had to be the Arroz con Pato. Yes, sure – I love duck, that's a known commodity – but this dish was definitely delish and surprisingly, some serious comfort food. The duck breast was beautifully tender, but my favourite part of the dish was the super juicy boneless duck leg. Paired with rice that was soaked in what was explained to us as coriander water, it was a winner.
Totora's Lomo Saltado I have to say was the best I've had to date in the UAE, with beautifully tender and juicy beef. That's why, as I mentioned earlier, I longed for this meat to be used for the anticuchos as the difference in mouthfeel was rather noticeable. Totora's version of the classic Peruvian dish was very enjoyable and fans of Lomo Saltado should enjoy it immensely.
Quinoa, the Prom Queen of ancient grains, makes more than just a cameo on the Totora Cebicheria Peruana menu. We tasted two savoury dishes featuring the fashionable super grain – dishes that were worlds apart despite featuring the same key ingredient. The salad was full of delicious veggies, asparagus and avocado among them – but like the cebiches leant much too heavily on the sour side with an rather enthusiastic dose of tart lime juice that overpowered the dish. The Quinotto on the other hand, was smooth, creamy and ultra rich. Definitely a dish for sharing. A great variation on a risotto, the truffle oil and parmesan are such a classic combo – not sure if it's exactly an authentic Peruvian dish, but who cares – it was delicious. On to the even more sinful side of Peruvian cuisine…
Tres Leches – 45
Sponge cake, evaporated and condensed milk, whipping cream, berries
Lucuma Andean Cereals – 45
Lucuma mousse, quinoa, sesame, linseed, chocolate pisco sauce
Dessert can be scary territory when you're trying to showcase ingredients native to the country of origin of the cuisine to an audience that may be unfamiliar with them. Totora executes the closing act of their menu particularly well however, so for that I applaud them. Their Tres Leches, a sponge cake soaked with three types of milk (evaporated, condensed and cream), was delicious and had a more pleasant, smoother texture than others I've sample in Dubai. A great choice for those who like indulgent vanilla flavours!
The Lucuma Andean Cereals was a great introduction to a fruit that is wholly Peruvian. Featuring lucuma, a fruit wiht a taste that could only be described by our server as 'it tastes like lucuma!', my best description would be mashed banana crossed with papaya. The dessert also featured sesame, linseed and the house fave, quinoa, making up the 'cereals' of the dish. They really added some great crunch as a contrast against the smooth lucuma mousse. The chocolate pisco sauce was good too – but also reminded us sadly there could be no pisco in our glasses due to the absent alcohol license!
Speaking of alcohol, Totora doesn't have it's license yet, which is a shame as the food on offer is screaming for a worthy counterpoint in the form of some creative libations. Word is however that they are expecting this to be resolved by mid August '16, and when this happens I think the downstairs lounge section will really come into it's own – I only saw it when empty, but once it's full of dining and imbibing Dubaians, this is a venue that seems like it would go off – I have to say the music on offer the night we dined was great.
Totora Cebicheria Peruana is a venue where Peruvians and global citizens alike will find a new favourite from their extensive menu. I can't wait to see what their drink creations do to enhance the experience even further! They may be the newest addition to Dubai's Pan-Latin scene, but given some time to put down their roots I think they are going to grow into a worthy match for their established Dubai stablemates.
The Verdict:
Food: 15/20
Service: 8.5/10
Ambience: 7.5/10
Decor: 8/10
Value: 7.5/10
Overall Rating: 7.8/10

A chain reaction accident on Medway-Carlisle Rd. on Friday afternoon caused damage to four vehicles.
According to witnesses, traffic was backed up on Medway-Carlisle at the stop sign at Milton-Carlisle. The driver of a Ford Pickup stated that his coffee cup fell to the floor, he kicked it with his foot, and it became lodged under the brake pedal. He said that this prevented him from stopping in time for the traffic stopped in front of him and he struck a white Nissan.
The impact knocked the white Nissan into a light blue Nissan, and it in turn struck a white Chrysler. All four vehicles received moderate to serious damage.
Bethel Twp. Fire officials reported that there were no serious injuries.
About 15 minutes later, a vehicle struck a deer on N. Dayton-Lakeview in the vicinity of R. D. Holder Oil Co. The force of the impact popped the air bags in the vehicle.
An elderly passenger was so rattled by the collision that she was transported to Miami Valley Hospital for observation.
The vehicle suffered moderate damage. The deer, described as a "good sized buck," fled the scene.
Four vehicles were involved in a chain-reaction crash on Medway-Carlisle Rd. Friday afternoon

A few weeks ago in my AP Psych class we were learning about conditions that can affect people's memories. My teacher showed us a video of this composer guy who can't form new memories (like Leonard). The composer doesn't even know he has the condition in the first place so how does Leonard knows he has it? because he must've learned that he was diagnosed with the condition after he got hit in the head so there is no way he could've known later on that he has the condition. Probably a stupid question but it has been bothering me for a while.
How does Leonard know?
The famous 2000 film that put Christopher Nolan on the map tells the story of a man on the hunt for the man he thinks killed his wife.

People's Party Presidential Hopeful Says Don't Use Gov't Budget to Create Jobs
SEOUL, Feb. 21 (Yonhap) -- Rep. Ahn Cheol-soo, a potential presidential candidate from the minor People's Party, said Tuesday that allocating more budget cannot fundamentally create more jobs, claiming the government should focus on industrial policies.
"Some politicians are talking about creating a certain amount of jobs, but such remarks are misguiding," Ahn said, apparently targeting Moon Jae-in, former head of the main opposition Democratic Party who has been leading polls among presidential hopefuls.
"The government and the political circle should focus on establishing foundations so that companies and the private sector can create jobs and for the economy to grow," Ahn said. Moon earlier pledged to create some 810,000 jobs led by the public sector.
Ahn said increasing the number of ventures cannot increase the number of jobs on the market.
"Most jobs are created not by conglomerates, but by small companies growing into middle-sized or large enterprises," Ahn said, claiming that bolstering start-ups is not a solution as they are more likely to fail than established players.'

Even Chase Coffey's days get off to a running start.
The Farmington senior, one of the top Class 1A distance runners in the state this year, delivers newspapers for the Journal Star each day and runs his entire route.
Even Chase Coffey's days get off to a running start.
The Farmington senior, one of the top Class 1A distance runners in the state this year, delivers newspapers for the Journal Star each day and runs his entire route.
"It's rough on some of the invitational days," said Coffey, whose route fluctuates between 110 and 130 papers. "My mom has helped me out a lot."
Coffey's self-discipline in performing a seven-day-a-week job extends to his approach to running. After placing seventh in the Class 1A 3200-meter run last spring — from the slow heat — and finishing sixth in the 1600 and eighth in the state cross country meet last year, Coffey has big goals this fall.
"I definitely have some high expectations for myself," he said. "I'm really looking for time goals, and I think if I break 15 (minutes) it will push me where I need to be in the state. I think if I do what I need to do to break 15, let the chips fall and finishing will happen from there."
In Coffey's one chance to run at Detweiller Park before the state meet, he was sick with a cold and cough but still ran a career-best 15:18. That was good enough for a third-place finish in the Woodruff Invitational earlier this month, behind defending Class 1A state champion Justin Rehfeldt of Rockford Christian and Steve Schroeder of Monticello.
Coffey also finished in front of the highly touted Nykaza brothers, Grant and Griffin, from Beecher.
"(Being sick) didn't help me in any way, but I don't know if it hurt me," Coffey said. "Knowing I can run (that time), in those kind of physical conditions, just shows me I can do so much more once I'm healthy. The only difference is I might have had a stronger finish and maybe have been able to stay with Justin when he made his move. But when he took off on me, I really just didn't have anything left."
Although Coffey's finish might have been a surprise to some — one Internet preview of the meet didn't even mention him in the top 10 — it was no surprise to his coach.
"He's got a drive like I've never seen," Farmington coach Jim Hardesty said. "When he's determined, he's going to do what he wants. Great work ethic. And that's the best time he's ever run. We were amazed."
To prepare for this season, Coffey took a different approach to his summer workouts.
"I took two weeks off after track season," he said. "The big difference in my training this summer was cross-training. I went out and bought a new bike, did a lot of pool work and basically just hit the road with different kinds of training. I worked on different muscle groups and brought up my cardio level."
He put together his own workout plan, never going over 60 or 70 miles running but also adding 80 to 100 miles on the bike each week. And although he didn't participate in the local summer running clinic conducted by former Olympian Tim Broe, Coffey would join the participants for the run afterward.
"A lot that they were doing was injury prevention and recovering from injury, and fortunately I haven't had a problem with that," he said.
Coffey's running success started early. He went to state at a sixth-grader in the mile in track and hasn't missed a state meet since.
"Before Farmington was consolidated, there was (Hanna City) Logan," he said. "Classes were about 10-15 people, so they were short on seventh-graders. They brought me up to run and I ended up having a pretty good year and went to state.
"But my brother (Dallas) really got me into running. He was a great runner."
Coffey said he's had interest from a few colleges but recently made a verbal commitment to Bradley.
"My mom works there," he said. "And with the new coaches and new system with everything geared up to restarting the athletic programs, I'm pretty excited about that."
Until then, he's focused on his times and helping his team have success.
"We wrote down our goals, and one of the first things he wrote down was to get the team a trophy or plaque at a meet," Hardesty said. "I'm just a lucky coach to have somebody like him, and hopefully his influence will last beyond the years I coach him."

HandyAudit is the latest product to be launched into the marketplace by Toronto Rehab Research.
Dr. Geoff Fernie, Institute Director, Toronto Rehab Research, has been at the forefront of commercializing health-care products, guiding them through the initial research studies, product development, and the creation of start-up companies.
"The commercialization process presents stumbling blocks for many Canadian health-care researchers," said Fernie. "As a result, many great devices, technologies, treatments don't make it to the consumer."
Fernie and his team have made it a priority to address these stumbling blocks so that innovations reach consumers.
Launched into marketplace
In 2010, HandyAudit was launched into the marketplace and has seen rapid growth in its user-base, with over 170 hospital sites currently using the tool.
More recently, in April, after being incubated at Toronto Rehab for three years, the growing start-up company – HandyMetrics- responsible for commercializing the tool moved out of the hospital to new offices, accommodating more staff.
HandyAudit is an electronic tool developed by the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute (TR) that helps hand hygiene auditors monitor, record and report hand hygiene data objectively, accurately and consistently.
Currently, paper-based observation systems are cumbersome, slow and prone to human error, reducing the effectiveness of the data. HandyAudit provides the necessary data to determine the steps to improve a health-care institution's hand hygiene.
Getting innovations to consumers
"There are two problems in getting research out into the commercial world," said Fernie. "One is the lack of funding to develop products from research to prototyping. And, the second is the challenge of getting your first customer – this is difficult for a start-up."
Toronto Rehab helped HandyMetrics get through the early stages of development and facilitated product testing in its inpatient units.
"We incubate our start-ups and locate them on-site to mitigate the upfront costs and make it feasible for the companies and products to succeed, and get them to consumers and institutions who need them," explained Fernie.
For example, start-ups like HandyMetrics pay for their space, but on a flexible payment schedule to lessen the financial burden.
In the case of HandyMetrics, Toronto Rehab also facilitated a relationship with The Council of Academic Hospital of Ontario (CAHO) – which resulted in the company securing its first clients.
"CAHO's support brought us product orders from 16 of its member hospitals," said Michael Tsang, Managing Director, HandyAudit, who created the product while doing graduate work with Dr. Fernie. "Without them it wouldn't have worked."
Timing is right
HandyMetrics now has six full-time employees and one part-time employee.
"It's really tough out there in terms of bringing hospital innovations to the market," said Tsang. "Without Geoff and Toronto Rehab's support, we wouldn't be around."
The timing was right for HandyMetrics to move out. The incubation process is complete: more than 170 hospital sites in Canada and abroad are using HandyAudit, including Johns Hopkins and Denver Health.
"We're strong enough financially to operate independently and we're excited for set up our new office and build our own culture," said Tsang.
Fernie and his team will continue to support HandyMetrics in its further development. The hospital will also continue to receive royalties from sales.
"There is an innovations pipeline at Toronto Rehab validated by research," said Tsang. "HandyMetrics is a great success story showcasing how researchers are taking good ideas into the real world and impacting quality of health care."

Foods to Eat to Increase Red Blood Cells
Red blood cells, or RBCs, transport oxygen taken in when you inhale to your body organs and tissues. They also carry the metabolic byproduct carbon dioxide to the lungs, where the gas is expelled when you exhale. RBCs survive in your circulation for approximately 115 days.
Video of the Day
Your bone marrow continually produces new RBCs to replace those that have reached the end of their natural lifespan. Eating foods that contain certain required nutrients can help increase your bone marrow's RBC production. This is particularly important if you have anemia, or a low level of RBCs, caused by one or more nutritional deficiencies.
Iron-Rich Foods
Your bone marrow requires iron to make hemoglobin, the iron-containing protein within RBCs that carries oxygen and carbon dioxide. In the United States, wheat and many other flours are fortified with iron.
As such, products including breakfast cereals, crackers, pasta, bread and other baked goods serve as an important source of dietary iron. Other foods rich in iron include:
- Lean red meats -- beef, lamb
- Organs meats -- liver, kidneys, giblets
- Seafood -- clams, oysters, mussels, octopus, crab
- Fish -- anchovies, sardines, mackerel
- Poultry and eggs -- goose, emu, duck, turkey leg, ground turkey
- Legumes -- cowpeas, kidney beans, soybeans, tofu, mung beans, white beans, lima beans, lentils, chickpeas
- Vegetables -- mushrooms, potatoes with skins, leeks, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, Jerusalem artichokes, kale, greens, kimchi
- Fruits -- dried goji berries, dried apricots, dried peaches, prunes, raisins, olives, persimmon, figs
- Nuts -- cashews, pine nuts, hazelnuts, pistachios, almonds, macadamia nuts, walnuts, pecans
Seeds --
pumpkin seeds, squash seeds,
sunflower seeds, chia seeds, tahini
Vitamin B12-Rich Foods
Vitamin B12, or cobalamin, participates in many biochemical reactions throughout your body. It plays a key role in the replication of bone marrow blood cells -- primarily in the duplication of the genetic material, or DNA, that must take place before these cells divide.
A vitamin B12 deficiency makes RBC production inefficient, potentially leading to anemia. Animal-based foods naturally contain vitamin B12. In general, the same lean red meats, organ meats, seafood and poultry with high levels of iron are also rich in vitamin B12. Fish not already mentioned with high levels of the vitamin include herring, tuna, trout, bluefish and salmon.
Foods made from fortified flours serve as additional sources of vitamin B12. Milk, cheese and other dairy products also supply dietary vitamin B12, an important source of the nutrient if you follow a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet.
If you follow a strict vegan diet, possible sources of vitamin B12 in addition to fortified grain foods include nutritional yeast, tempeh and some types of edible mushrooms and algae. However, you might need a vegan B12 supplement to meet your body's needs if you've developed a deficiency.
Folate-Rich Foods
Folate, or vitamin B9, is another nutrient necessary for normal RBC production. Like vitamin B12, folate plays a key role in the duplication of DNA, a critical step in producing new RBCs. Although vitamin B12 deficiency is more common, a folate deficiency can also lead to anemia. Some people have deficiencies of both B12 and folate.
Folate occurs naturally in a wide variety of plant and animal foods. Good animal sources of folate largely mirror those for iron and vitamin B12, namely meats, poultry, fish, seafood, eggs and dairy products.
Similarly, foods made from fortified grain flours also provide a significant amount of dietary folic acid, the man-made form of folate. Other plant foods not already mentioned that are rich in folate include:
- Vegetables -- edamame, asparagus, okra, peas, endive, kale, collards, artichokes, Brussels sprouts, beets, broccoli
- Legumes -- fava beans, pinto beans, navy beans, black beans, peanuts, peanut butter
- Fruits -- avocados, guavas, mangoes, boysenberries, oranges, pomegranates, papayas, blackberries, kiwifruit
- Nuts -- mixed nuts
- Seeds -- sesame butter
Other Dietary Considerations
In addition to iron, vitamin B12 and folate, other nutrients also play roles in RBC production including protein, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, vitamin C, calcium, copper, cobalt, selenium and zinc.
Therefore, it's important to eat a well balanced diet with a wide array of foods to optimally support RBC production. Your healthcare provider might offer specific dietary recommendations, supplements or other interventions to optimize RBC production, based on your individual circumstances.

"Sure it could get rough sometimes, but life wasn't a Hollywood movie. Shit happened. You fought, you screamed, and somehow you worked like hell to get out the other side still intact."
I've had the paperback for so long and this book just kept being pushed down my TBR list. For starters, I enjoyed how it was a fun, quick read or maybe because I've been on a fantasy binge for so long that I'm really excited to go back to my NA world. I also realize that this is my first ever book from Samantha Young and I find her writing style engaging and easy to read.
The thing is, it started out really okay, it was actually strong in the beginning until my interest kind of waned and I think it was mostly due to my growing dislike for the main character. I found myself not really being a fan of Jocelyn/Joss. She has a rocky past but I felt like she was intentionally being rude and aloof. She has the tendency of making everything seem like it's about her. Initially, I found myself being sympathetic to her and the tragedy she experienced but over time, I found her plain annoying and cold. Mind you, I love reading about complex and layered characters but Joss is just bratty. Beyond her traumatized self, it seems like she has no personality… at all.
On the other hand, Braden is an alpha male but his brand of alpha is something that I was able to tolerate and like. When he is not being his alpha self, I find his character really well developed and truly a swoon worthy book boyfriend. If he could not be my boyfriend, at least let him be my brother. *winks* Also, let us take time to applaud him for painstakingly pursuing Joss. This guy has an abundant load of persistence!
However, character wise, I found myself mostly invested on our supporting characters. I just love and adore Ellie and Adam – individually and as a couple. They have purity and sincerity in them and I adore how they just seem fun, positive and light.
There were scenes which felt disconnected and not really needed but still, it has been an entertaining and fun read for me. There was enough romance, sexy times and drama to create a balance to the story and I feel like I would have loved it more had Joss been more likable. But that's just me.
Jocelyn Butler has been hiding from her past for years. But all her secrets are about to be laid bare…
Four years ago, Jocelyn left her tragic past behind in the States and started over in Scotland, burying her grief, ignoring her demons, and forging ahead without attachments. Her solitary life is working well—until she moves into a new apartment on Dublin Street where she meets a man who shakes her carefully guarded world to its core.
Braden Carmichael is used to getting what he wants, and he's determined to get Jocelyn into his bed. Knowing how skittish she is about entering a relationship, Braden proposes an arrangement that will satisfy their intense attraction without any strings attached.
But after an intrigued Jocelyn accepts, she realizes that Braden won't be satisfied with just mind-blowing passion. The stubborn Scotsman is intent on truly knowing her… down to the very soul.

Recently, my friend did a blog post of all her simple gifts; small things that give her joy. She unknowingly inspired me to keep track of every small or big thing that I am thankful for. So, this week, I kept a record of every thankful thought that came to my mind and found that I had a GREAT week, remembering my blessings and praising God for each one. I'm posting a few below. They are in completely random order. Some of them have pictures, some do not. Needless to say, this list is just a drop in the bucket. I hope that YOUwill be inspired to count your good gifts this week!
So, I'm thankful for:
my son Stephen who is so funny and "quirky", even when he sleeps! Yes, he really IS sleeping in this picture.
Laughter, fun and good food with friends.
Creativity! The kids had so much fun doing a graffiti wall in Andrew and Stephen's room on Friday night.
Do the numbers ring a bell with anyone?
Having my oldest son home from boarding school and hearing about the last term. Here he is with another one of our blessings, his good friend Reid.
The wonderful husband God gave me. We're coming up on 18 years of marriage next week and each year is better than the one before.
Dr. Grimbeek, the South African doctor who is making it possible for Stephen to have straight teeth!
New glasses so I can enjoy reading once again!
My neighbor ladies, Lidia, Laurinda and Joana! It's taken some time, and alot of hard work, but they are opening up to friendship with a white girl!
My friend Pam who is so good at remembering birthdays and anniversaries. Something I admire since I'm so bad at it! THANKS FOR THE CARD, PAM J.!!!!
Crazy, wonderful sons who love each other!
