English 101: Parts of Speechbylindiana©
English 101 is brought to you by Lindiana, who holds her Bachelor of Science Degree in Secondary Education/English.
* * * * *
In the English language, there are eight parts of speech:
The Noun
The noun is a word that is used to name a person, place, thing or idea. Nouns are classified as one of three types: proper/common, abstract/concrete or collective.
A proper noun is the name of a particular person, place or thing. Proper nouns are always capitalized.
A common noun is a word that does not name a particular person, place or thing. Examples of a common noun would be words like town, house and lady.
An abstract noun names a quality, characteristic, or idea. In other words, it is a word used to describe something abstract and arbitrary.
A concrete noun names an object that can be perceived by one of the five senses.
A collective noun names a group.
The Pronoun
The pronoun is a word used in place of one or more nouns. Pronouns fall into one of the following categories: personal, reflexive, intensive, relative, interrogative, demonstrative and indefinite.
Personal pronouns are used in place of a proper noun. The personal pronouns are as follows: I, me, you, he, him, she, her, it, we, us, they and them.
Possessive pronouns are used to indicate possession: my book, his house, their dream.
Reflexive and intensive pronouns are used conjunctly. They are words combined with either self or selves and can be used reflexively (the action of the verb is directed BACK at the subject) or intensively (emphasizes back upon the subject).
Reflexive-Justin cut himself.
Intensive-Justin himself was cut.
Relative pronouns are used to introduce subordinate clauses. A subordinate clause is a group of words that contains a subject and predicate and is used as part of a sentence but cannot stand alone as a sentence by itself. The relative pronouns are as follows: who whom, which, that and whose.
Interrogative pronouns are used in questions. The interrogative pronouns are as follows: who, whom, which, what and whose.
Demonstrative pronouns are used to specifically point out certain persons or things. The demonstrative pronouns are: this, these, that and those.
Indefinite pronouns are pronouns that do not fall into one of the classes as listed above. Most, but not all, indefinite pronouns express the idea of quantity. Here is a list of the most commonly used indefinite pronouns: all, each, most, other, another, either, neither, several, any, everybody, nobody, some, anybody, everyone, none, someone, anyone, few, no one, somebody, both, many, one and such
The Adjective
The adjective is a word used to modify or describe a noun or pronoun. In this instance, to modify means to limit or make more definite. This can be done in one of three ways:
1.) Telling what kind:
green eyes, small town
2.) Pointing out which one:
that man, this classroom
3.) Telling how many:
several poets, fourteen freshmen
The normal position of an adjective is directly before the noun or pronoun it is modifying. Adjectives may be used after however and often are used as such by writers.
A predicate adjective is separated from the noun or pronoun it modifies by a verb.
Also note that the same word can be used in different capabilities. Some pronouns and nouns can also function as adjectives. Most of the indefinite pronouns can also be used as adjectives.
Example: Both girls wanted to go to the dance. (Both as adjective)
Both of you want it? (Both as pronoun)
Here is an example of a noun functioning as an adjective: litter box
In this instance the word litter is being used as an adjective, not a noun.
The Verb
It is commonly known that the verb is the action word. The verb in a sentence can also help to make a statement. The action described may be physical or mental.
Transitive vs Intransitive Verbs
Action verbs may or may not take or refer to an object. Those verbs that are linked to an object are called transitive: example, He finished the poem. Those verbs that can express an action without a noun are called intransitive: example, The writer quit.
Some intransitive verbs help to make the sentence complete by expressing a state or condition. These verbs are linked to the word that it is describing. Therefore, they are called linking verbs. The most common linking verb is the word be and its forms: am, is, are, was, were, be, being, been and phrases that end in a form of be. Other common linking verbs are: appear, grow, seem, stay, become, look, smell, taste, feel, remain and sound.
Helping verbs are also used. These are verbs that help the main verb to express action or make a statement. The common helping verbs are: am, has, can (may) have, are, had, could (would, should) be, is, can, could (would, should) have, was, may, will (shall) have been, were, will (shall) be, might have, do, will (shall) have, might have been, did, has (had) been, must, have, can (may) be, must have and must have been.
The Adverb
The adverb is used to modify a verb, adjective or another adverb. It functions much like an adjective does for a noun. It usually will tell how, when, where or to what extent the action of the verb is done. Some adverbs are used mostly to emphasize. On occasion, nouns will be used adverbially. An example: Lindiana taught us yesterday.
Here the word yesterday is being used as an adverb, not a noun.
The Preposition
The preposition is used to show the relation of a noun or pronoun to some other word within the sentence. Here is an example: She enjoys writing in the library more than working on her laptop.
In the above sentence, in and on are prepositions. In is used to link the ideas of writing and the library. On is used to link the ideas of working and laptop.
Prepositions always appear in a phrase and are usually located at the beginning.
The noun or pronoun at the end of the phrase is called the object of the preposition. As well, a group of words may function as a preposition. Following is a list of common prepositions: about, at, but (meaning except), into, throughout, above, before, by, like, to, across, behind, concerning, of, toward, after, below, down, off, under, against, beneath, during, on, underneath, along, beside, except, over, until, amid, besides, for, past, unto, among, between, from , since, up, around, beyond, in, through, upon, with, within and without.
The Conjunction
The conjunction is used to join words or groups of words. There are three kind of conjunctions: coordinating, correlative and subordinating.
The coordinating conjunctions are as follows: and, but, or, nor and for.
The correlative conjunctions are always used in pairs. They are as follows: either/or, neither/nor, both/and, not only/but (also) and whether/or.
The subordinating conjunctions are used to begin subordinating clauses. A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and predicate and is used as a part of the sentence. A subordinate clause is a clause that cannot stand alone as a sentence in and of itself. The following is a list of the most commonly used subordinating conjunctions: after, before, provided, unless, although, how, since, until, as, if, than, when, as much as, in order that, that, where, because, inasmuch as, though and while.
The Interjection
The last part of speech is the interjection. It is a word used to express emotion and has no grammatical relation to other words in the sentence. Common examples we see used often are: Oh! Ah! Ouch! Alas!
There you go. The eight parts of speech made simple.

As some readers may know I like playing and composing music, mainly through keyboard, and I've released a number of demos through the music site Last.fm throughout the years, both as Hopes Were High (a now dead project turned band) and as Quispiam, my current solo project.
With the upcoming Quispiam album "As Autumn Leaves Decay", on which I'm currently working, I'm concentrating a lot more, bringing much better music and focusing more on getting it out there. It is still my project, and I have written all the music and lyrics, and I record all instruments on my own, but I am currently negotiating with several different vocalists to guest on the album, as well as a cover artist to produce the cover to both the album and the eventual single that would preceed it. I have also signed on to a so called "digital record label", a company which helps me bring my music to iTunes and Spotify among other online services. This is already happening in the next few weeks with my old Quispiam album "The Flight of the Last Raven".
What's more, I have created both a Facebook page and a website for the project. On the Facebook page, you can currently follow smaller updates (finished tracks, minor reveals) and on the website you can read more about the bigger updates.
When the album comes out, it will be made available both for free downloading (through the site, Last.fm and torrents), on Spotify and to buy digitally through iTunes.

[Film/Opinion] Get Out: Its Ties To Horrid Racist History and Relation to Modern Society [Written by Shae McCoy]
So I went to see Jordan Peele's Horror/Thriller Get Out. Knowing the director as a comedic figure, I didn't know what to expect. Honestly, seeing the previews for this film earlier on, I didn't even know who the director of the film was. As the release date inched closer I learned of whom was responsible for such a brilliant picture.
At the beginning of the film, I was at ease, in a comfortable chair without a care in the world. As Get Out progressed, my at ease feeling slowly turned into a feeling of disgust. Peele did a good job of layering the plot as each scene began to unveil ugly truths that we, and when I say we I do mean black people, already are familiar with. I won't do much spoiling of the film, but I will tell you that Get Out just adds to the knowledge that we already have of organ trafficking of Blacks, brainwashing, modern-day slavery, jealousy, and just plain hate.
The irony of the film genre and the content was beyond me. The fact that this is a horror movie that's not only for the entertainment of others, but offers insight on the horror for blacks in America that happens every second on the hour. I believe that every person who goes to see this should be sober in mind because you will miss the message if not. The entire time that I watched the film, I just thought about what's happening to black people around the country currently. Although the situations presented in the film are pulled from the past, I have no doubt about them still happening. In fact, Get Out can be attached to some of the lives of big names that we are all familiar with. For example, Kanye West with his drastic change after his mother's death and his marriage into the infamous Kardashian family, and the public's favorite, Ben Carson. I say that with the most sarcasm.
While some may have viewed Get Out as something that may have been done before. I viewed it as a wake-up call to my thoughts and emotions. I left the theater with many others, kind of in a rut. I was feeling iffy about white people and interracial couples. That's how I knew that this film was great although I'm not sure if that was the intent, but I had to realize that this was just a movie and me feeling that way would add to the problems we are already having as the human race.
If you have not seen Get Out, I recommend that you do. If you end up not liking it, at least you could join a conversation about it and provide the opposing view or unpopular opinion.

Rail services from Brighton to London Victoria will see some services axed this autumn, in a bid to 'manage the effect of the leaf fall season'.
It will Gatwick Express services reduced on weekdays from Monday, October 16 to Friday, December 8, affecting commuters in Brighton, Mid Sussex and Crawley.
Rail operators around the country said they are making the move in response to 'slippery conditions' caused by leaf fall in autumn, often leading to congestion and knock-on delays.
Services set to be temporarily axed include the 8.15am and 8.30am from Brighton to London Victoria, and the 4pm, 4.30pm and 7pm service from London Victoria to Brighton.
Brighton resident and commuter Katie Snaydon said: "Between the 7.45am and 8.45am there are no direct trains from Brighton to Victoria - a whole hour during peak time with no service.
"Alternative services involve changes and extended journey time on more crowded services, and we pay £5,000 a year for the pleasure."
The new timetable was discussed by members of the Association of British Commuters Facebook group, with some calling the move 'outrageous'.
A Gatwick Express spokesman said: "The Brighton mainline is the most congested route in the country and, in line with the rest of the rail industry, we have to make these changes to help protect the vast majority of trains that would be affected across the south east. Similar changes were made last year."

I revisited a previous project I had worked on earlier in the year after learning how to created interactive PDFs. This was the Basketball Info sheet that I was working on, in hopes that this would be easier for coaches.
I had noticed in previous years that they would just try to type on the info sheet then send it back and it would look something like this: "School: _____South Barber______; Mascot: _____Chieftains____." Obviously the sheet I sent them was meant to be printed out then written on before sent back either by scanning the completed sheet then emailing it, or by fax. So I wanted to created a PDF that could be interacted with by computer then submitted, or printed off and filled out by pen before being sent back for those who prefer more conventional methods.
When I last worked on this project I was having some trouble with creating tables because it's not really something I went over in InDesign before. Eventually I figured it out myself, but I wasn't completely happy with it so I did some minor adjustments yesterday.
I wanted these each to be text fields, so I placed a field in each box with Name, Class, Height, PPG, etc. and converted them to Text Fields by right-clicking, scrolling to "Interactive" and clicking on "Convert to Text Field."
I created a table for both "Returning Starters" and "Starters Lost" by placing a text field then going to the Table menu and clicking "Create Table…" before setting up how many rows and columns I needed (7×6).
I then created fills for "Every Other Row" before setting the color of those fills to a light yellow color and a tint of 50%.
I then created two more section (the final two) for the PDF for comments on Returning Starters and any other Coach's comments. For coaches to be able to print it out and write on it, I created tabbed lines below (Shift+Tab) so they could fill it out. For those typing, I created a text field, but checked the box for "Multiline."
All I need to do is create a "Print" and "Submit" button then go through testing it in Adobe Acrobat.
Also, the highlighted sections will not be there when I've finished, they are simply there to make sure that my text fields are lined with the tabbed lines.

If you want to get married in a civil ceremony in Gran Canaria, you're probably thinking 'How exactly do we go about this?'
Let us explain…
It is not possible for non residents of Spain (including the Canary Islands) to legally marry in a civil ceremony.
The only way in which non residents can legally marry here in Gran Canaria is via the Catholic Church, Swedish Church or Norwegian Church.
If getting married in any of the above churches is not a possiblity for you, don't let this dishearten you.
You can still hold your dream wedding in Gran Canaria.
All you need to do is hold the legal aspect of your wedding in your home country, at your local town hall or registry office for example. Then hold a religious or non denomination blessing ceremony here in Gran Canaria.
This is a very popular options and one which most of our clients choose.
There are many advantages the above options which can be found on the religious ceremony and non denomination pages on our website.
Residents of Spain
If one of you is a resident of Spain or any of it's islands, then you can legally marry within a civil ceremony.
Your legal signing must take place in the civil registry office or local town hall.
You can also hold a ceremony in these buildings inviting all your family and friends.
In some cases you can ask for the concejal from your local town hall to come and conduct a ceremony in Spanish in another venue, however the legal signing will always be conducted in one of the 2 above official buildings
If you you are unable to organize for a concejal, we have officiants that can conduct blessings in many different languages so you can hold your wedding blessing in the venue of your dreams.
It is also possible to marry in another municipio to which you are registered. The paperwork will be passed internally via the corresponding registry offices.
We suggest you visit your local town hall to ask for information pertaining to your particular circumstances.
Same sex civil ceremonies are legal here in Spain if one of you is a resident of Spain or any of the Spanish islands.

As long as I can remember my mother has said, "As a Christian you have to believe in Hell but you don't have to believe anyone is there." This is her gracious understanding of an essential Christian doctrine. Though she didn't know it, this understanding is a Christian "heresy" called Universalism, a heresy that says all of us, even non-Christians, will go to Heaven. And it was expressly against Catholic, and most Christian doctrine. But wasn't she right about one thing: Don't you have to believe in Hell to be a Christian? This must be the case, if Universalism is a heresy.
Not long ago Rob Bell was in the hot seat with many Evangelicals (and some Catholics) because his recent book, "Love Wins", suggested that no one goes to Hell. He set the conservative Christian bogs on fire and most of them essentially condemned Bell to hell for not believing in Hell.
The ensuing progressive Christian defense of Bell was great. Many Emerging Church and progressive Christian bloggers busted the chops of people like the Three Johns ( Piper, MacArthur and Hagee) for accusing Bell of Universalism . They rightly criticized the conservative Christian tendency to make Hell such a big part of their theology, to the point where this doctrine obscures a lot of the Gospel message. But, unfortunately, few of them go far enough.
Because in their defense of Bell they made it quite clear that they also believed in the doctrine of Hell, they just adapted it to make it more palatable. Most seemed to accept the conventional orthodoxy of a Final Judgment and the potential prospect of Hell (even with little or no scriptural support for it) coupled with the salvic solution of Jesus dying for our sins on the cross, as God's blood sacrifice, to free us from eternal damnation. Which, to me, flies in the face of what Jesus spends a lot of time telling us about God. As I heard a pastor once say, God is either merciful or God is just, but God cannot be both.
I think one reason why so many Christians are unyielding about Hell, and why the progressives still can't shake the doctrine off, is that, in reality, Hell is the cornerstone of the Church, not Jesus. Because without Hell, what is there for Jesus to do? What does he save us from?
No Hell = no Jesus. Or at least the Jesus that many Christians claim to believe in, have faith in. Without Hell he loses his job description. He loses his purpose along with the primary meaning he may have for millions of Christians. So the idea that there is no Hell is just too damn frightening to consider.
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18

Flashback to… Kevin O'Neill!
December 7th, 2015
LIFE TURDS have prevented me from finishing my long promised post on Julia Scheele's comics, so here's a quick ramble about the dick-slap aesthetics of Nemesis the Warlock and Marshal Law that I stole from my own twitter account…
Matt Maxwell once asked me if I had any thoughts on NEMESIS THE WARLOCK. I do, and they're all blurred by time & distance but here we go!
In Alec – how to be an artist, Eddie Campbell described Mills & O'Neilll's NEMESIS as "the wicked satire of a rejected Catholic upbringing". I wouldn't presume to be able to improve on that description, but it does point towards what's so good about *O'Neill's* NEMESIS.
Don't get me wrong, plenty of good artists have drawn NEMESIS (including Bryan Talbot, for fuck's sake!) but O'Neill made it look *naughty*. This is what separates his baroque atrocities from similar dystopias (Warhammer 40K, etc): the heavy metal fanfare never obscures the man.
Less is not more – MORE IS MORE!

Talking Comics #2
March 11th, 2014
Talking Comics is a highly irregular feature where I try to review a few new(ish) books with the help of my phone's voice recognition software. It's just like a regular comics review post except that it takes more mouth than fists to get it done on time, and is therefore far sexier than your average bloggy night on the town.
It's also sort of like a bit of tech writing, except it's even less useful to my future career as a failed magazine writer grumbling about social media in the corner of a pub on a cold Thursday morning.
Anyway, that's enough warm-up for now. Onwards, to the reviews!
The Deleted, by Internet Villain Brendan McCarthy and Darrin Grimwood
Sex Criminals, by Chip Zdarsky and Matt "Matt" Fraction
LOEG: Nemo: The Roses of Berlin, by Kevin O'Neill and Alan Moore
Battling Boy, by Paul Pope and Hilary Sycamore
Multiple Warheads – Down Fall, by Brandon Graham
Dungeon Fun, by Colin Bell and Neil Slorance
That's all we've got time for this week folks – don't know if there'll be any SILENCE! this week or not yet, but keep your eyes peeled because you never know what that amiable auld space god is capable of!

American History Novel Project
Students will read a novel and keep a journal of six topics (these topics are included on the assignment description page which each student has). There will be a check of these journal notes throughout the trimester. The first check will be Friday, Sept. 25, 2015. Students should have read at least 1/3 of the novel by that deadline, and they should have kept a journal on all 6 topics. The journal should be about 1/3 of a page per topic (worth 50 points). The second check will be Friday, Oct. 23, 2015 (worth 50 points). At that time students should have 2/3′s of the book read and 2/3′ of the journal completed. The book should be completely read and final journal notes are due on Friday, November 20, 2015 (worth another 50 points).
I will give a book talk on each novel, so students will have an opportunity to make an informed choice of the novel they would like to read. The novel is related to topics we will study in our American history class throughout the trimester. Since it is a novel, students will experience history from the point of view of historical characters. Hopefully, as they let their imagination soar back through time, American history will come alive. It is easy to delay work on this assignment, so please keep reading and journaling!

The truism says that six months is an eternity in politics, with colossal change possible in that short time.
It certainly has been that way for Bob Filner, the 20-year Democratic congressman from San Diego who last spring was riding high shortly after becoming mayor and ending more than two decades of Republican rule at City Hall. Now he's in disgrace, run out of office by his own misbehavior.
But as the race for governor gets its semiofficial start just before and during Labor Day weekend, it's clear six months has changed little in California's highest-profile contest of next year.
No Democrat has emerged to contest Brown in the primary. Republican prospects that looked weak six months ago seem even weaker now. The only thing looking certain is that Brown will have a runoff opponent in November 2014 — but possibly only because even if a candidate gets a majority of the primary election vote next June, he or she must still run again in November. That happened to Democratic U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein last year as she easily won re-election to the U.S. Senate.
How is Brown doing it? For one thing, there's his performance in office, a sober approach refusing to permit wild spending by his fellow Democrats who control the Legislature, his battling with federal judges while trying to prevent release of more convicts from state prisons, and his efforts to get tax breaks for businesses investing in new equipment.
Put it together, and some of the ammunition Republicans usually use against Democrats just doesn't work against Brown, who now looks likely to have the easiest run of his long career next fall.
Just in case there's a problem, he also has more than $10 million in his campaign kitty — and that's just cash available during the primary election season, when Brown can expect no challenge. Neither of the two Republicans so far publicly yearning to be Brown's runoff opponent has raised even a fraction that much. Big campaign kitties sitting idle a year or two before any election tend to scare off serious opposition.
There's still the possibility a big-money Republican will emerge from the party's woodwork to challenge Brown, but that grows less likely by the day. It has been 15 years since the GOP ran anything but a wealthy, self-funded candidate for governor, with William Simon losing to Gray Davis in 2002, Arnold Schwarzenegger ousting Davis a year later and then winning re-election in 2006, and Whitman flailing and failing in 2010.
While current candidate Abel Maldonado has some wealth, his family having farmed for many years near Santa Maria, he can't write multimillion-dollar checks at will, like the previous three. Meanwhile, Tea Party favorite and former Minutemen border activist Tim Donnelly, an assemblyman from San Bernardino County, has fewer personal resources than Maldonado.
Neither has yet mounted anything like an effective attack on Brown, which they must do in order to attract donations on the scale Brown regularly draws. Donnelly has had no coherent message, beyond saying, "California needs someone to stand up and fight" — presumably against immigration amnesty, which he fervently opposes — and in favor of a law authorizing concealed carrying of guns. Donnelly famously had a run-in with federal authorities when he tried to carry a pistol aboard a Southwest Airlines plane at Ontario Airport.
Maldonado, meanwhile, has built his nascent campaign around blasting Brown for release of state prisoners, something Brown is fighting to avoid. That attack has no legs.
All of which means the GOP must do a lot better in the next few months than it has lately, or concede another four years to Brown.

SMB's, educational institutions, G Suite / Google Apps for Work users, Google Apps administrators, CTO's, CEO's, IT admins, CIO's, tech-savvy families.
Team password manager and record vault that integrates with G Suite / Google Apps for Work. Cloud and On Prem versions also available. Apps for iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, and Chrome. From SplashData, a provider with over 16 years of experience in password management and security.
TeamsID everybody needs this
Pros: The different levels of access to passwords. We set TeamID up that each department has their own access and the manager have full access
Cons: On the web version the color green shows up faded. So sometimes I can't see what I am clicking on. Could be my computer. The app version for windows and IOS are great no problems. I would like the computer version to time out if I leave it open. The app version does time out.
Overall: We have been using TeamID for a few years. The last update they did put it over the top. We have about 10 people using it in our company (soon to add more users). It was a little tough to get started because it offers so many options in setting it up. Once we got thur the setup then things were great. I really like the customer support, ask a question online and they get back to you quickly. I have told other businesses about TeamID, I am sure they will get it for their company also.
Recommendations to other buyers: Years ago we could have one password for everything. Today we have some sites the want a capital letter or $<%<# and at least one number. So want 8 characters some want more. Now I only have to remember my TeamID password.
TeamsID: A great password management system
Pros: Encrypted data, great support, beautiful, easy to use website, android and IOS apps and reasonably priced.
Cons: SplashID allowed users to setup templates which are a missing feature on the current website.
Overall: We were users of SplashId and migrated to SplashID for Teams. TeamsID was our next step and we are very pleased with the complete experience. The website is easy to navigate, fast and clean looking. User management is easy and storing and sharing passwords easy. Single sign in with Gmail means my users do not have to remember any URL or any additional passwords to get into TeamsID. We also use the Android App. We would be lost without a password management systems and TeamsID fits our needs perfectly.
I have had to contact support a couple of times and each time the response was fast and the problem was resolved quickly. I have never had to call twice about an issue
Recommendations to other buyers: While the TeamsID is aimed at the enterprise market, the pricing is such that I setup and account for my family of 4. Also, if you have any issues or concerns, reach out to support. They are very helpful.
Easy to use with single sign on password manager designed for Google App for work
Pros: Simplicity, security & single sign on with google app for work account, both personal and shareable records, team aspect just like Slack increases productivity. Across platforms - Mac, ioS, Android, Windows, etc.
Cons: Nothing actually
Overall: Very robust, easy to use. You can store both personal records and records that you wish to share with different users. Create teams and share records with team members. Just like Slack, this has made life so much easy by helping us store all our passwords and important records, documents, etc in one place.
Better than Last pass, Dash lane and a few other password management tools I have tried in the past. If you are a google app for work user then in addition to every other great feature you also get single sign on with your google account making TeamsID stand apart from the rest of the competition.
Keeps getting better!
Pros: Everything I need is in once convenient location (personal or work).
Cons: I work for the federal government which is notorious for being slow to update to newer technology. TeamsID is not backward compatible with my work browser or its security setting.
Overall: I have been using SplashData products for 15+ years. TeamsID gives me what I was looking for. I use it to make personal and financial information available to my wife and children. It is a great way to share those things I want my family to have access to and keep other things private.
Being retired military, it has always been critical to me for my family to have important information in case anything happened to me or if I was unavailable due to deployment. TeamsID is that tool that gives me peace of mind.
The best password management software out there
Pros: Very simple to use and has great security encryptions.
Cons: I wish they would market themselves more so I could have found them earlier instead of wasting my time with 4 other password managers in the past.
Overall: Very powerful yet easy to use password manager. Allows me to easily create, manage and share passwords and important documents with Teams. It also has a personal section which allows me to share passwords and documents with family members. Therefore one tool helps me at work and at home.
Recommendations to other buyers: Anyone looking to make their life simple, try TeamsID.
SplashData customer for over five years!
Pros: Share passwords with team members.
Cons: Services outages, we do not have access to pertinent information when this occurs.
Overall: I have used many iterations of SplashData, SplashID>SplashID Teams>TeamsID. The software is very useful for our team but it does not come without issues. We have experienced many service outages and glitches over the years. There have not been any major improvements except for the ability to login with Google. In fact, the latest version seems to have taken away some capability.
Recommendations to other buyers: N/A
Excellent Password Keeper for Businesses
Pros: Ease of use whether it'd be only for users or for admin. I learned to use it all on my own, and it has been easy. Plus the convenience of having an app in my phone and being able to reach any password I need. Great for businesses, especially for all the IT passwords I handle at work. Great for sharing entries too.
Cons: Nothing to say, it has worked wonders for my work and me!
Overall: I've learned to use it on my own and had I known before that such a great tool existed, I wouldn't even have complicated myself over sharing passwords and where to keep them.
TeamsID - good team password tool.
Pros: Team password sharing.
Cons: Haven't found how to automatically populate web logins from the app. Not sure if this feature is available.
Overall: We bought this in preference to SplashID for Teams. We originally paid for SplashID for Teams but this was announced and released shortly after but the same company. The customer service team transferred our paid subscription across to TeamsID without any problem at all, so we could use this tool.
TeamsID is great for group/team password sharing, we use it in our IT team for shared passwords to systems. We also have our own shared area and can keep individual passwords private where necessary in the same tool. This saves having to have a solution for team passwords and a solution for personal passwords.
The app is pretty cool too, we can take everything mobile on our iPhones.
Recommendations to other buyers: It's very reliable and works perfectly for us.
Powerful but yet very easy to use
Pros: Ease of use and the solidarity of the product overall. The company has been around for over 11 years now.
Overall: Great tool to have. Makes life easy if you know you dont have to remember every password and mentally at ease if you know your passwords and important documents are secure.
Recommendations to other buyers: They have launched a b2b version called TeamsID. If you want to use it for an organization or a team try that out.
Great Password Solution for Teams
Pros: Platform independent
Cons: better responsiveness on refresh and search in the web version
Overall: I am a SplashID User personally but need a team solution just about at the time TeamsID was released. I was an early adopter. I do like the android app best as I can log on with my fingerprint. For the web version, I highly recommend using Google sign-on as the constant logging in with email and password drove me nuts. I do see some responsiveness and refresh issues in the browser but nothing to troubling. Overall I am a very happy customer and the price is very fair.
Recommendations to other buyers: Sign up with Google sign-in!
TeamsID is a fantastic password management solution!
Pros: I have a small I.T. business and do not have the resources to pay for one of the more known solutions on the market. Teams ID allows me to manage my clients critical credentials securely in an easy to use desktop and mobile application.
Cons: Cost. I am a small business owner and really have to watch my bottom dollar closely. I can always use a discount!
TeamsID is simple to use and take our Password- and Information-Management to a new level!
Pros: The simplicity on the one hand and the fill of features on the other hand.
It work's also great in combination with google G-SUITE.
I've tried them all, and settled on TeamsID
Pros: Does what it needs to do without bells and whistles that get in the way of ease of use.
Cons: For google auth, I often have to click my account name twice to log in. Not a big deal, but odd.
Overall: We have a small team, but we needed a secure way to share our passwords for dozens of clients. I tried at least 10 different systems and settled on TeamsID and am happy with it. Many had apps that were _almost_ ready, but almost is well, not good enough, and can be very frustrating. The TeamsID team worked with me during testing & answered my questions fairly promptly. There were a few bumps in the road in importing data, but we got there with everything intact. Mobile & web apps are in sync, sharing is secure & easy.
Long-time Customer - from SplashID to SplashID Teams to TeamsID
Pros: New integration with Google Apps.
Cons: Inability to change record type and customer service not able to help with product glitches.
Overall: This product has been great to store sensitive information. However, over the years we have had many issues with outages and app glitches and customer service is not good and resolving these issues.
Recommendations to other buyers: Take customer feedback and keep improving the product as you always have. Although I think customers would feel more at ease if proper customer service existed.
TeamsID had gone down more than twice 2017
Pros: I use TeamsID(since it was in 1st Beta) and SplashID(5+ years) for many years. The app is good but.....
Cons: TeamsID server gone down because its SSL expire make us wonder if we can continue to rely on this application!!!!!!
Overall: Good application but service gone down too often.
Securing your Workplace
Pros: - You can store all the logins for your site
- Divide de the access among your organization
Cons: There is a repetitiveness on the software.
Overall: I like this tool since we've been able to centralize our most sensitive infomation.
I use TeamsID to store logins for tools and services common to the team at work
Pros: Easy to use and simple - not a lot of features cluttering the main function, which is nice. Has a lot of options to share logins with different users.
Cons: The only drawback is when you try to share a log in outside of TeamsID - it generates a link which you can then paste in other application to share with teammates. I don't think this is a secure way to do it.
A very good start
Pros: Group organization of key sharing.
TeamsID own server concept
Cons: Missing some basics function on the mac app, drag and drop, group selection and so on
Overall: It's really great to be able to handle passes with groups and share also outside.
The mac app is somehow a bit slow but it's enough for now, it makes the job.
A cool feature could be to drag & drop and select groups of key to assign them a group of user and so on...
Recommendations to other buyers: TeamsID own server price
Awesome team based password manager
Pros: It's ease of use and it's ability to handle out needs
Cons: I wish there were a few more features such as templates, and I would like a bit more overall control of settings
Overall: I know TeamsID is still young and new features are always coming out, but even still it has been a great asset for our team. It's super easy to set up, use, and manage. I have heard whispers there are record templates on the horizon which we are super excited about. If you have a team(s) that share credentials, give this a shot, has been great for us.
Recommendations to other buyers: Read through the FAQs, there are some interesting caveats to using the personal lockers.
Great vault tool, esp. for Google Apps for Work users
Pros: Ease of use, speed, UI
Cons: Not as many features as some competitors like Lastpass, but I don't need all that
Overall: Easy to use password manager/shared vault tool. Works really well with Google Apps for Work or G Suite. Also stores personal passwords and keeps them separate from your work credentials.
Recommendations to other buyers: Free trial so give it a spin before you commit
A great start to a solid product
Pros: Great sharing functionality
Cross platform
Cons: Doesn't have all the bells and whistles
Overall: TeamsID has built their platform on a solid foundation. The way they organized sharing amongst teams makes the most sense when put against its competitors. It lacks some of the flashy features right now but development seems quick.
A good collaborative password management tool
Pros: Ease of use and it's collaborative features along with single sign-on with google.
Overall: I was looking for a password manager that provides ease of use, sharing of records, security and single sign-on capability. TeamsID provides all of the above and single sign-on in the google app for the work environment.
great pw manager
Pros: My whole team likes it! We went through 4-5 different pw managers before we got approval from everyone.
Cons: Sorting the pws was originally confusing, though we've figured it out since.
Great password vault system
Pros: Compatibility with iOS/Android/Mac/PC
Cons: When changing the number of subscribers, the system sometimes bills the wrong amount. Thankfully Customer Support for always being there to the rescue us :)
Overall: Easy to use, helps our organization to securely manage our accounts information. It is very useful to create teams and assign access to teams members as needed.
Recommendations to other buyers: Would be good to hear more about the security behind TeamsID. Possible HIPAA compliance?
Not ready for Prime Time
Comments: I became interested in TeamsID because of my long and successful experience with the SplashID mobile application and the possibility to become a TeamsID Partner. Mind you, I am completely satisfied with SplashID, but I saw the value of TeamsID for team-based usernames and passwords in a variety of settings.
My first effort to use TeamsID for my family was a beta for me and the new application, which I
found to be good looking and quick, but lacking in the ability to edit or understand 'best practices' for family and small shop users. Then the cost model indicated that the ability to share data was rather costly compared to SplashID. Finally, while initial support contact is fast, the answers are slow to non-existent, making me wonder how well capitalized and supported this application is. It also makes me wonder about the long term commitment that Splash Data has for TeamsID. They appear to not be clear on what this does well and how to best do it.
First experience with TeamsID.
Pros: Sharing individual records with other members.
Cons: Incomplete user interface compared with SplashID Safe.
Overall: I had multiple problems with the migration from SplashID Safe to TeamsID. I started a live chat and they could not help me. I went to customer service and filed a help ticket including a full description of my experience. I recieved a form email response which did not address my difficulties at all. I was getting emails from the CEO, asking how I liked TeamsID. I replied back twice to these emails, and never received a message back.
Weeks have gone by with some technical help. But have still not managed a successful migration from SplashID.
The payment portal is very incomplete. My credit card was changed without being able to see if the discount was applied, or how the total was arrived at.
After experimenting with TeamsID using some sample data, much of the program seems to be a stripped down version of SplashID.
I am frustrated and disappointed with my experience with TeamsID, after the original glowing description of the programs capabilities.
Recommendations to other buyers: The idea of the software is very attractive. The implementation is very incomplete.
Excellent software
Pros: Ease of use
Cons: Nothing at the moment
Overall: Nothing more we could ask for. It is already a simplified and lite weight software that packs a whole lot of features
Recommendations to other buyers: Nope
Once you get the hang of it, awesome password manager!
Pros: The fact that sharing passwords in one click is a reality with this software. Definitely a great password manager in which you can limit the access for some passwords and add as many people as you want in others.
Cons: A little bit glitchy when trying to integrate it with gSuite. Doesn't automatically add new users to TeamsID once they have already been added to gSuite.
TeamsID is a valuable tool
Comments: TeamsID is a great tool for us. It provides us with an easy and secure way to share the information that team members need to access the resources needed to perform their various roles and duties. And TeamsID's support is very accessible and responsive.
disappointed with the productr
Cons: totally nonstandard interface, bad UX
Overall: I'm a user of SplasID and SplashData, and this product is far away from all touchpoints (UX, security, ease of use)
Password Knight in Shining Armor
Comments: I had some really bad experiences with Password managers and TeamsID is bullet proof. It is so solid and so easy to use. I was using LastPass for 2 years and it is a nightmare to navigate.
Wonderful Password Manager
Comments: We have been using Teams ID for a few months and have had a great experience. We love how easy it is to access our passwords from any device.
Not convinced yet
Comments: Adding people via Google account did not seem to work. Importing files from a backup from a just expired Splash ID account is not paossible. Have put the question with Splash over a week ago, but no response.

Every day, IMS cares for its retreatants, teachers, staff, facilities and grounds. The income that's needed to successfully operate our Retreat Center and Forest Refuge programs comes from two sources – course fees and donations. Since we try to keep our retreat fees as affordable for as many people as possible, revenue from this stream usually covers just half of our expenses.
This means that we must rely on the generosity of our community to balance our budget and to operate our centers in a sustainable way.
There are two ways to help IMS do this:
- givemonthlyto our Sustaining the Sangha program
- offer aone-time gift
Whenever you are inspired to offer a donation, you join a community directly engaged in alleviating suffering and bringing greater wisdom and compassion into the world.

Week 1 Abstract Painting Class – Color Wheel
I started an Abstract Painting class at the Sharon Lynn Wilson Center in Brookfield, Wisconsin last week. We played with black squares and a circle to communicate words. We looked at the color wheel and started quilt paintings by blending the different colors. And here is my homework assignment, a color wheel. It's been about 30 years since I've made a color wheel and I think it had always been with watercolors before. With this configuration I could use primary colors (red, yellow, blue) to create secondary colors (orange, green, violet,) tertiary colors (red-orange, yellow-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, blue-violet, red-violet,) and quartenary colors (russet, buff, citron, sage, slate, and plum.) The quartenary colors were new to me. I was intrigued that you can get them by mixing the two adjacent colors or by using the closest outer triangle with a little of the opposite triangle (example: russet = violet+orange OR russet = red + a little green!)
I was amazed that the 2 1/2 hour class flew by and I can't wait to go back again this week. I'll post my completed quilt painting (I'm calling it that, but I'm trying to make it not look like a quilt!)Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )

Well, today Termra and I decided to made a pair of beaded Barefoot Sandals. Here is the pair that Termra made. I need a pedicure before I model mines.
Well here is my second Tall Envelope Album I did for my sister. I'm so glad I finish this one. The first travel album I did for her I put on the back burner for now but love how this one came out. Borrowed Laura's ideal of nesting the tags in the flower bed on the front cover.
I spent my time off today rearranging my desk a little. I realized that I was not using my copic markers enough to have them on my desk so I move them to the bookcase. To make room in the bookcase I took out one of the chubby cubbies I made a while back (markers, pencils and small tools holder). Well, I had some strap paper left from the CrossTalk mini and this is what I did to the Chubby Cubby.
Now, all my clear containers in my studio gets the strap leftovers.

We offer a traditional day program based skill building at CWO is organized around interest area classes such as music, art, and gaming. Each person served makes daily choices of activities and is free and welcome to make continual choices throughout the day. Through participating in the various activities individuals may work on fine and gross motor skills, following instructions, completion, safety, problem solving and improving attention.
Community Integration & Skill Building
Each month the individuals engaged in various skill building community events and activities meet to create their monthly community calendar. Using the Community Picture Book each individual has input into creating the agreed upon calendar. Each peer group discusses, negotiates and works together to arrive at a mutually agreed upon set of community activities for the month. Staff and supervisors have input into the specific logistics involved, the calendar is posted and the group is assigned one of the vehicles (by color) so that everyone knows what events are scheduled and which vehicle to use each day.
While in the community individuals work on skills such as task completion, showing up on time, working together, and follow through. Individual needs, wants, and goals are focused on with each person while completing the various community tasks.
Some of the community activities may include but are not limited to:
• Meals on Wheels
• Delivering Magazines to Nursing Homes
• Visiting with friends who have retired from CWO programs.
An additional focus with each of these community activities is making one-on-one connections between individuals by finding out their likes and dislikes, such as which magazine is their favorite? What meals does someone prefer? Why is my regular volunteer absent? A new volunteer may work on something as simple as getting a meal to the door and saying hello. Over time deeper connections are created to the point where individuals may spend considerable time together.
Other community activities may include but are not limited to:
• Folding clothes and sorting merchandise at the local clothing bank/thrift store (Tried & True in Wayne)
• Delivering shredded paper (produced by a CWO customer's shredding business) to the Humane Society for use in the animal crates and pens.
Again, a focus is placed on making connections with people and at the humane society with the animals through taking them out for walks and play time.

On November 9, 2013, the Jenna Druck Center's Young Women's Spirit of Leadership Program hosted a conference that brought together 250 girls from around the San Diego area. Over the course of the day-long event the young women were able to connect and interact with over forty female business and community leaders who shared insight, advice, and encouragement.
The theme of the conference was "Leading Yourself," and emphasized that "being a leader starts with knowing yourself."
The conference included addresses from several speakers, a catered meal, as well as breakout sessions which focused on topics such as goal setting, discovering personal strengths and values, developing decision-making skills, and learning how to more effectively communicate with others. The keynote address was given by Dr. Jackie Freiberg, bestselling author and expert on innovative leadership.
The Jenna Druck Center is a San Diego based non-profit with the stated mission to "transform the lives of young women and bereaved families in our community." Along with the award-winning Spirit of Leadership Program, the Jenna Druck Center also sponsors the Families Helping Families Program, which provides support groups and education events for families who have recently lost loved ones.
More information regarding the purpose and services offered by the Jenna Druck Center can be found out their website or on their Facebook information page.

Additionally to the party members and the creatures placed directly on the battlefield in the toolset, authors can also grant players or creatures the abilities to summon their respective temporary allies via spell. Furthermore, authors can place ibscripts on the ibscrip hooks of an enocunter for doing the very same (eg at the start of the battle or each round). All these allies (of the party or the enemy creatures) only last a configurable number of rounds before they vanish again. In case the encounter ends for some reason, they also vanish anyway.
2. Allies of the party
Allies of the party are technically player characters which eg can be made with the Player Editor of the toolset. For the player, these can still look like monsters/creatures if you assign them the token and name of a monster/creature (eg a bear). The player remains in control of the temporary allies and controls them manually in battle. They will not appear as portraits, have no inventory and will not be displayed in the party screen though. They can cast spells and use traits, providing a huge amount of flexibility. They can only be of normal size, using the the 100x, 200y pix tokens that all players use. When all real, permanent party members drop unconscious or dead in battle, the battle is considered lost even if some temporary allies are still alive. The engine loads these allies from the data folder of your module looking for a .json file with the name of the temporary ally. You can summon the very same temporary ally multiple times in a battle (like six guards all using the same .json file). When a square that the ally is supposed to appear on is occupied/non-walkable, the engine will try to find a fitting location nearby automatically.
3. Allies of the enemy creatures
Allies of enemy creatures are just normal creatures, which are run by the AI. They can have all sizes. You have to slay them, too, in order to win a battle. They are created by the engine like any normal creature, identified by their resref (which points to the creature blueprint to use for spawning this cretaure instance). You can summon creatures of the same (or different, of course) blueprint as many times as you want. Also, again the engine will place them nearby if their intended desitination square should be occuipied/non-walkable.
4.New spells
Summon Ally Bear (Pc)
This the provided example spell for summoning an allied player character. Please note that it calls the spellScript spSummonAlly, which takes two paramters (spellScriptParm1, spellScriptParm2): the first is for the name of the player character to summon (without .json, must be stored in data folder of your module), the second one is for the duration in rounds that the summoned player character will stay. It is a ranged spell, castable at a point location within range.
Summon Ally Spider (Crt)
This works very much the same, but is intended for enemy casters to use. Therefore, spellScriptParm1 defines the resref of the creature to summon. You can summon creatures of any size with this. The spell will be targeted by enemy AI against the nearest player character and will summon the creature as close to him as possible.
5.New ibscripts
The new summonAlly script can be used for summoning as many party allies as you wish. Its building block is this line:
- Code: Select all
This is what the parms do:
- Code: Select all
//gaAddTemporrayAllyForThisEncounter.cs - Adds a pre-made character (as palyer controlled creature, ie no inventory access, no portrtait, not on party screen) for this encounter
//parm1 = (string) PC file name (ex. Drin); ie without the .json ending
//parm2 = (int) x location
//parm3 = (int) y location
//parm4 = int) duration in rounds
You can use the "~gaAddTemporaryAllyForThisEncounter(parm(0),parm(1),parm(2),parm(3))" line as many times as you want in a single call of this ibscript. Just increase the parms count correspondingly, e.g. "~gaAddTemporaryAllyForThisEncounter(parm(4),parm(5),parm(6),parm(7))" and so forth. This way you can add any number of allies with a single ibscript call.
I failed to provide an ibscript example for summonig allies of the enemy creatures in the default module, but it works using a very similar technique. Just call this line here as many times as you wish:
- Code: Select all
Parms work very similar also:
- Code: Select all
//gaAddCreatureToCurrentEncounter.cs - Adds a creature to the current encounter
//parm1 = (string) the resref of the added creature (use one from a blueprint in the toolset's creature blueprints section)
//parm2 = (int) x location of the added creature on the combat map (will be automatically adjusted to nearest location if the spot is already occupied or non-walkable)
//parm3 = (int) y location of the added creature on the combat map (will be automatically adjusted to nearest location if the spot is already occupied or non-walkable)
//parm4 = (int) duration in combat rounds until the creature vanishes again

New, JR's Blog, @HeymanHustle Rocks NYC!, @MikePWInsider on Ross Report, NXT Takeover, @MaeYoungClassic, @JoeyRyanOnline
It's great to be back home in Oklahoma after several days in Stamford and Brooklyn for WWE activities. I'm going to cover many of the events of Summer Slam week on a new Ross Report podcast with Pro Wrestling Insider's Mike Johnson on a new Ross Report that drops this Tuesday night at 9 PM/6 PT on www.podcastone.com and @ApplePodcasts.
Can't thank the great Paul Heyman enough for joining me Friday night at the Gotham Comedy Club for our RINGSIDE Show that sold out and turned people away. Paul was amazing from start to finish and his idea to buy shrimp tempura for our 300 guests was nothing short of brilliant. I hope that we get to do more of these shows in the future as Paul and I both have indicated that we would lke to do so.
Really appreciate my friends at Busted Open Radio and The Taz Show for helping support our NYC event as their contributions were invaluable. I covet my many 'wrestling friends.'
It was a blast to broadcast a live match with Mauro Ranallo as that seemed to be something that many fans wanted to experience, including me. Appreciate the hospitality and respect shown me by not only Mauro but Nigel McGuiness and Percy Watson too. I thought the Aleister Back vs Hideo Itami bout that we broadcast was a helluva wrestling match and one that I really enjoyed being a part. Itami seems to be more at ease as a villain and Black could well be a huge star in the making much sooner than later for NXT and subsequently at the next level, too. I love both men's kicking game as you probably gathered if you watched the match.
"Kick Your Head Off Classic!"
There is a discernable, unique vibe at NXT events that I have personally experienced from working at two, NXT Takeover events, in Chicago and in Brooklyn. The audience seemingly has made a strong emotional investment in the NXT talents and it shows.
Watched Summer Slam sunday night from my Norman, Oklahoma home and enjoyed it. Happy I invested the time to watch the pre game show and the main card even though the length of the overall presentation was a bit challenging in which to remain engaged for approximately 5+ hours. Again, I will discuss the entire Summer Slam week with Mike Johnson on the new Ross Report podcast that we will record Monday night after RAW.
I enjoyed the submission finishers utilized at various times on the show and the overall effort of the talents. The physicality of the Fatal Fourway was off the charts and, as I predicted, Lesnar retaining was the right thing to do and it is obvious that many fans want a Lesnar vs Strowman bout somewhere in the foreseeable future....Wrestlemania? Much more on this matter on the Ross Report.
Lita and I voiced over 16 Mae Young Classic bouts Wednesday in a marathon production session that yielded some excellent results of which you can see and hear beginning Monday August 28 on the WWE Network. I have truly enjoyed working on this project and feel that we are collectively doing a good thing for all the women who have contributed to the genre and who have campaigned for simply better opportunities as it relates to their in ring careers. The first four Mae Young Classic shows will begin airing in succession Monday night August 28 and I hope that you will give these broadcasts a shot. As a wrestling fan, you will be happy that you did.
We will take our RINGSIDE Show to Laugh Boston on Saturday afternoon December 16 which is the day before the TLC event in Boston. Tickets are on sale now at www.laughboston.com. My pal, the talented Jeremy Borash will be our MC in Boston!
Remember that you can order JR's delicious products from www.wweshop.com and have it delivered to your home or where ever you choose. Great grililng and kitchen tag team parttners for sure.
The Q&A's here on the site are updated. Please keep your queries succinct and ask only one question please.
Hope to finish the audio version of our autobiography, 'SlobberKnocker: My Life in Wrestling' by week's end. Tough assignment but one that will be extremely unique for consumers of our book as it's a cool way to listen to the story of my journey.
Congrats to @JimCornette for celebrating 35 yeas in the wrestling biz. Without question, JC is one of the absolute best to ever do his craft and is arguably at the top of a crowded list of marvelous managers who have graced the squared circle. Corney was also one of my favorite broadcast partners ever and I hope that he can help Impact Wrestling recapture their much needed mojo.
Funny how some folks go into business for themselves when interpreting comments that I make including those with Paul Heyman Friday night in NYC. We were asked a question about Joey Ryan who is a talented wrestler with a unique 'gimmick' that might not be for everyone. I have no issues with Joey Ryan on any thing as he is staying booked, he's earning a living, he's entertaining his audience and he's apparently having fun with his unorthodox in ring presentation. Some wrestling websites need to be more creative on their attempt to create click bait.
You can connect with us on Twitter @JRsBBQ and on Facebook and Instragram at JimRossBBQ.
Headed back ot LA for AXSTV next week to spend two, full days voicing over NJPW G1 Tournament bouts with Josh Barnett. The new G1 bouts started airing on @AXSTV this past Friday night and will continue on Friday nights for the next several weeks.
Have a blessed day and an even better week. Maximize life's minutes!
Boomer Sooner!

Business Licences
The business licence program ensures that businesses operating in Burnaby comply with City Bylaws and other regulations. Once a Business Licence application has been received, it is first checked to confirm that the proposed business is located in an appropriate zone. If the zoning is found to be suitable, the application may be then be referred to various other City departments and external agencies to obtain assurance that the business and their premises comply with relevant City Bylaws and other regulations. Depending on the type of business referrals can be sent to the Building Department, the Fire Department, and the Fraser Health Association among others. Non-compliance with a bylaw or regulation can result in the denial of a Business Licence.
Prior to entering into purchase of lease agreements for a business location, you are encouraged to contact the Licence Office to verify your compliance with the Burnaby Zoning Bylaw. All prospective businesses should also determine whether the proposed location complies with City Bylaws or whether corrective work is necessary in order to bring the location into compliance. This may entail the engagement of professionals to undertake an assessment. The Building Department is available to support you in your assessment.
Who needs a Business Licence?
All businesses in Burnaby require a valid business licence. Business is defined as carrying on any commercial or industrial undertaking, or providing professional, personal or other services. Not for profit organizations are also required to obtain a licence, however, these businesses pay a reduced fee. New or temporary businesses, and those that have changed location, changed ownership, or opened a new location, all require a new licence to operate in the City.
Getting Your Business Licence
Which Business Licence Do I Need?
There are generally two types of business licence. These can be further categorized to identify your business:
- Resident businesses
- Permanent location in Burnaby
- Operate from offices, retail locations, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, residencies
- Temporarily operating in Burnaby
- Includes building trades contractors
- Includes mobile businesses with no fixed location in Burnaby
You might also want to visit our Home Based Business Licence page for information, fees, and forms on businesses that are permitted to operate from residential properties.
Completed application can be dropped off directly to the Burnaby Licence Office or sent via mail or fax. Where applications are received electronically, by fax or by mail, Licence Office staff will contact you regarding your application once it has been received.
- Business Licence Application forms may be printed, completed in full and forwarded to the Licence Office. Fees are payable by cash, cheque, Interac or you can now pay online by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express).
- A Supplementary Declaration form must also be submitted for businesses operating at fixed commercial locations in Burnaby.
- One Stop Business Registration (OSBR) also provides time-saving service for business licence applications, in addition to other government registrations for business. Licence Office staff will be in contact with applicants who submit their applications in this way.
For more information on application and fees, please contact the Licence Office at 604-294-7320 or by email at email@example.com.
The first year fee for a business licence is higher than the fee for renewal licences due to the higher resourcing costs that are incurred by the City during the initial licencing year. A non-refundable $50 fee is also required for all business licence applications in order to recover additional administration processing costs. View fees »
Business licences are renewed annually on January 1 through renewal invoices mailed out in early November with a reminder sent in December. Business licence fees are payable by cash, cheque, Interac or you can now pay online by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express).
Fees vary depending on the type of business and the City services involved in the licencing process. Fees paid by credit card are subject to a 1.75% recovery fee. Non-payment and late payment of business licence fees are bylaw violations and are subject to a $50 additional fee as of January 1.

What To Do When You Don't Know
No More Holes in My Pockets
The Four Dimensions of Man
Text Giving!
If you are encouraged or inspired by these messages, why not consider giving a small gift of £1 or £2 or £3 by texting 70070 with the message:
If everyone who listened to an online message each month gave £2, we would have enough to be on prime time TV on one of the big Christian networks!
The only cost is the cost of a normal text message at your network rates!
If everyone who listened to an online message each month gave £2, we would have enough to be on prime time TV on one of the big Christian networks!
The only cost is the cost of a normal text message at your network rates!
2. Don't Forget the New Birth!
When trouble comes the pressure is to act just like everyone else on planet earth - but you are not just like everyone else on planet earth! If you are born again, then you will find out that the life and power and wisdom of God is already inside you. In this inspiring message, Benjamin will show you what the new birth means and how remembering you are born again can carry you over every problem and through every dark time.
3. Don't Forget the Power of Words
Your words have power. They have the power to create life and the power to kill. They have the power to move mountains out of your life and make your path smooth.
If your life is an uphill battle, maybe you are mountain climbing and not mountain moving. Maybe you have forgotten the power of words...
4. Don't Forget Your Covenant!
You and God are linked forever with a blood covenant. There is nothing God will not do for you! Understanding this covenant will anchor your soul into the truth of the love of God and lift you to a new level of grace and peace. This message will change everything!
5. The Three Battles for Your Destiny
If you start speaking the Word of God and start walking in your dreams you will have opposition. In this message, Benjamin looks at the most famous giant slayer in history and explains how to win every battle and walk in your dreams.
On Saturday 12th May, Benjamin, Corwin, Ade and Lee all attended the Preacher's Masterclass at King's Church, Newport. It was an excellent time of learning what preaching is all about and why preaching is so vital to the church. Ade took a few minutes to share his experiences and testimony of the day and we recorded them! Enjoy!
6. What to do when it's not fair!
Sometimes life isn't fair. Sometimes you do the praying and believing and someone else gets the breakthrough before you. In this honest and helpful message, Benjamin explains what to do when someone else gets their breakthrough before you! This message is a clear message on how to keep walking in love even in the worst situations.
7. New Testament Paradigm
The Spirit came on the day of Pentecost and filled not just the apostles, not just the pastors but all the believers. God has called the entire church to know the Spirit, and enjoy a Spirit filled life - but you cannot enjoy the Spirit filled life with an Old Testament paradigm. In this hard hitting and intensely practical message, find out how to enjoy the Spirit filled life.
8. Ignore the Law
The strength and power of sin is not our flesh, it's not the devil, it's not the world - it is the law of God. The reason sin is your master is because you are living in the law. But Jesus Christ came to free you from the law of God - so you are not under law, so that you do not have to listen to God's law ever again. In this thought-provoking message, Benjamin will teach you how to ignore the law and walk in love.
9. Ignore the Flesh
All of us have a stupid voice inside our head that cares nothing for consequences, cares only about self and will continually give you bad ideas. The bad news is that this voice will never shut up until you get to heaven, but the good news is that you can learn to ignore that voice - and walk in the Spirit.
10. Ignore the World
Nobody will ever understand your destiny but you and to fulfill your destiny you need to ignore everyone else on the planet and just do what God has called you to do. You are awesome - too awesome to fail because of bad company!
11. Ignore the devil
Nearly everything that is taught about the devil has no basis in the Word of God, no basis in grace and no basis in understanding how awesome God is and how complete the finished work of Christ is. In this clear, cutting message Benjamin deals with all the nonsense and tradition and shows from Scripture that the devil has been stripped of all authority and is really a nothing!

Anne Smarzik of Relics Jewelry & Gift Emporium proudly holds the Judge's Trophy she won last year at the first annual Wassail competition in Bastrop, Texas. This year she won the People's Choice award at the event, while Caledonia Cottage Quilts won the Judge's prize for an alcoholic wassail.
Some 15 local businesses in this town east of Austin vied for the coveted trophy, mostly with non-alcoholic versions of this Christmas tradition. Anne told me her recipe has been handed down through five generations of women, and she has daughters to continue the tradition. Her secret recipe, consisting of about 8 ingredients, derives from England where she was born.

If you are sentient and live anywhere in the northern half of the western hemisphere, you have been told at some point to "question everything." This postmodern goop that some think is a brilliant insight essentially argues for a lack of trust in authority and even knowledge itself. Kind of like with Apple's "Think Different" slogan, the idea is that we are a generation with the right and the skills to re-think the wisdom of the ages. Or, at least, the wisdom of our parents. So, question everything! Apparently, it's the spirit of the age.
And if spy movies have taught us anything, it's that every car should have built-in heat-seeking misses. No, I meant to say that we should "trust no one." How many times has the hero of the spy film been told exactly that: "And remember, trust no one." Only the person dispensing that advice turns out to the be very person the hero should not have trusted! You sly devil, you! If only the hero had possessed the wisdom to apply your advice to to everyone in his world, he (or she, of course) could have saved himself a lot of anguish.
Both pieces of advice are good for social strategies that are doomed to fail and plot twists in the movies. But both will lead to a pretty stunted life if applied in reality. We live our lives assuming certain things to be the eternally true and good. And if we don't trust anyone, we will miss out on a whole lot of joy, even if we are made vulnerable in the process. So what works well for a society and in the movies doesn't work well for us long term.
There are some things we should answer in our hearts and minds and souls, and never question again. We all have intellectual, theological and philosophical bedrock. When we are convinced we have found it, we should build our house upon it, and stop assuming everything is up for debate. As Christians, that bedrock is the revelation of God, especially the Bible.
In terms of trust, well, it is sad that the Church often gives us good reasons not to trust our pastors and elders. Our spouses and business partners also give us reasons at times not to trust. But trust we must! We will all be given reasons not to trust those we know and institutions we love. But we must continue to take risks if we are to make a difference in this life. When we are burned, we need to allow the Spirit within us to grant forgiveness and forge ahead.
With all of that said, the Christian life is one of constant growth and discernment. And while we have the bedrock of scriptures – indeed because we have the bedrock of scriptures – we are always considering the winds of change in the Church in the light of God's Word. In that sense, we are always questioning the trends, the popular teachers, and even the teachings of our own pastors in the light of the scriptures. And we are also then considering the institutions of which we are a part: our church bodies, our seminaries, our ecumenical agreements…again, in the light of the scriptures.
Not only is that okay to do, it is modeled by the Bereans in Acts 17 and encouraged by John in 1 John 4 when he writes, "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world." There is a line between being a nuisance and one who likes to engage in quarreling, and one who is rightfully always in a discernment mode to make sure his church and his own mind are right with God. Sometimes being on the right side of that line is hard.
But I write this to give you two examples of discernment I am doing, and I do so realizing the risks of my saying this. As a member of the Society of the Holy Trinity (STS) and as a member congregation of the North American Lutheran Church (NALC), I think often about both groups in light of the biblical teaching. For the NALC, the question of the ordination of women is one that I believe merits more biblical attention than it has received. For the STS, I believe it needs to consider to what degree we seek reunion with Rome and on what grounds, and to what degree we can maintain fellowship across denominational lines given the Gospel issues at stake across Lutheranism.
If you listen to my radio show, you know I enjoy a good argument, and that quarreling should never get in the way of a good argument. So I'm not seeking untoward attention or trying to sow seeds of distrust. I'm just here trying to frame the parameters for how and why we do discernment and what its limits are. May you do the same discernment always, so we would draw ever closer to the revealed truths of the Word of God.

Aiptasia pallida gets reclassified into new genus
An Aiptasia by Any Other Name ...
The reclassification of Aiptasia pallida into its own (new) genus doesn't really make much of a difference for reefkeepers who are battling this age-old pest. Still, it's always good to be up-to-date on science pertaining to our hobby. It's also not every day that a species described over 150 years ago gets reclassified into a new genus.
Also of interest: Ragactis lucida, a curly-cue/knobby tropical "Aiptasia" aquarists sometimes encounter, gets moved to a new genus, Laviactis. The new genus is now reclassified into the family Aiptasiidae; Ragactis Laviactis used to be classified outside the family, but DNA shows they belong in the same family tree as other Aiptasia. Um ... welcome to the family. Now please die.

Treasury Makes it Easier for Pension Plans to Pay Partial Annuities
October 17, 2016
By Hrishi Shah
The Department of Treasury has issued final regulations that simplify the rules that allow retiring participants to simultaneously elect a partial lump sum and a partial annuity from a defined benefit pension plan. Under the tax code, the minimum present value of a benefit offered by a pension plan cannot be less than the present value calculated by using a specified mortality table and interest rate. The regulations, which were first proposed in February 2012, are an attempt to balance the need for retirees to insure against unexpected longevity (by promoting partial annuity payments) with the increased liquidity provided by accelerated forms of payment (like lump sums).
The rules make it easier for plans to provide partial annuities. They do so by allowing a plan to separate a participant's accrued benefit such that the tax code's minimum present value rules only apply to the portion of the benefit that is paid in an accelerated (i.e. lump sum) form.
The final regulations became effective on September 9, 2016, and will apply to distributions with annuity starting dates in plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2017. Please contact us for more details on how this may affect the operation and design of your pension plan.
