A ten minute film is a tricky length to establish a narrative. It needs good content, it is not enough for it to be just visually spectacular, but it is not enough time to develop a complex narrative or have too many characters. This makes the editing very difficult. There is so much from Jill's interview that I would love to put in because she had such insight, but I had to be very selective. Also, it is not just a case of selecting the 'best bits', the parts selected have to flow smoothly into each other and make sense in the piece overall. Also adjusting sounds takes a lot long than I expected. I used free sounds to get music for the film. I used people tuning instruments, I feel like it is appropriate.
In order to represent the experience of depression while at university I decided the use of metaphor was important.
In my research I have seen a lot short films about depression. In most of the films to represent depression they use ominous music, black and white affects, and clips of derelict buildings. This makes them look more like horror films that films about mental health. I promised myself I would not use anything in the film to provoke fear or dread. I do not think it shows depression for what it really is. Instead, after a very long time, I settled on two visual metaphors I think are appropriate. Firstly, trying to light all the candles on a birthday cake while a fan slowly turns and blows them out every few moments. Secondly, trying to sort papers in a strong wind. This shows the struggle and frustration and the difficulty of holding on the a goal when there are continuous set backs. I also see these as metaphors of what it is like when depression clouds the mind, it allow no candle of hope to stay lit.
the responsibility of dealing with mental health
There is a huge responsibility when dealing with mental health. It is not only a politically sensitive topic, but a bad representation of depression could make someone's condition worse. This must be avoided at all costs. It is hard to represent people with the condition fairly, I can only represent myself. Also if I am in the film I am responsible for who it affects me, but I am not willing to risk people being negatively affected by being in the film, and I don't feel comfortable forcing the people I know who struggle with it to be in the film. It would be hypocritical to make others speak about it and not talk myself.
finding an approach
I know a few people also struggle with depression and I have spoken to them about what they think about making a film about it. They all think it's a good idea and they all said they feel good about being involved although I feel uncertain about whether it is fair to ask them to be in the film. I want to focus as well on student support. I think it is brilliant that there is a service like student support there for students. Maybe spreading the message that they are there and want to help will mean more people will go to get help rather than leaving it until it is too much like I did.
the direction that's been offered to me
I have been thinking about the film a lot recently and my original idea hasn't been inspiring me. I was lying in bed last night and I realised there was something which I was really interested in and would had real value. I am going to make the film on depression.
sometimes what you fear most is what you need
Today I went to the seminar. I was scared of being asked questions about how I was doing. Shelley had emailed mike to let him know why I had been absent and that really was the reason I built the confidence to go. As soon as the class began we were called into a circle and asked to explain how our project was going. When it got to me I had nothing to say. I would have lied but I just couldn't think of a lie because I'd been worrying. So I just said that I had depression and that had just had a really bad episode and was trying to get back on top of my work. I would never have expected that I would ever do something like that. I don't tell people I know let alone a group of people I barely know. At first it freaked me out but as the day went on I felt better and better about. By the end of the day I couldn't stop smiling, I felt so liberated by it. It is a moment I won't forget. I now feel I can do this course and make this film to the best of my ability.
Also in this session I explained to the group what I wanted to make my film about and a girl from the class said she was from the atheist society and would talk to those in it to see if they would like to help me. I will email her as soon as I have a more specific idea of what I'm doing.
Thanks to help from student support I am getting on top of the work I fell behind with but I haven't fully recovered yet. I am putting the tactics I have learnt into practise and hope it gets better.

Haley is so petite for her age. We have had her checked out for any growth hormone deficiency a while ago, but no deficiencies were found. I think its just genetics (from her daddy's side) and some from the extreme prematurity. We are ok with her petite size. She is perfect the way she is. It awes me though that she is still wearing some 3T size clothing. Most people don't believe she is 5 years old. She is growing though its slow.
Haley's vision is the same. No changes. She is still getting around ok in familiar places. She needs to hold someone's hand in unfamiliar places. She presses her right eye often which is a common thing in people with very low vision. Its called a blind mannerism and we have not been successful at getting her to stop it. That will be a challenge. As for her hearing, she has not had any recent testing since there have not been any changes with her ear canals. Her ear canals are still small and the doctor has not been able to get ear tubes in. I think she is way past the age for ear tubes and not sure if it will help her hearing. But its worth a try if her ear canals would just get bigger. Haley is just small all around! Haley is learning sign language, but its a challenge for her to learn since she can't see the signs well. She does know how to sign eat, done and more. I think she signs a couple more at school as well. Haley is still not talking. Not sure when she will. She continues getting all the therapies she can get. We hope that some day she will talk.
Haley is a very picky eater. Its a challenge to get her to eat new things. Again this is most likely due to her blindness and some of it could just be her age.
Developmentally I'm not exactly sure where she is at. She ranges developmentally. She will be tested at school soon to see where she is at. As soon as I get the test results I will post it.
Haley is a busy girl and doesn't sit still well. She is always needing some kind of stimulation. She likes to make noise that she can feel. So she bangs toys on the floor or uses two toys to bang together. She loves to go to the park and swing on the swings. She loves her bathes as well as being tickled. She also loves hugs and readily gives hugs to just about anyone! She is a sweet girl!
Rachel is a feisty girl! She is very strong willed and stubborn. She knows what she wants and persists until she gets it. Rachel is average size for a 5 year old and is growing well. Rachel has my genetics (tall and skinny).
Rachel still has not learned to swallow foods. We are going to have her get a swallow study in the near future to make sure we are not missing something. She is still on g-button feeds 4 times a day. We give her foods 4 times a day to chew with the hopes she will swallow it. She likes to put food in her mouth and chew it, but she spits it out. She will swallow small amounts of water. That is progress and I will take it. We don't know what it will take to get her to swallow her foods. Just hoping and praying it will click one day or that she won't be scared.
She is doing well with her cochlear implant. She wears it well and will go get it to have me help her put it on. That tells me she likes to hear sounds. Rachel is not talking either. She is doing well with her speech therapy and is making more noises and sometimes sounds like she is trying to say the words that her speech therapist is working on with her. Rachel continues with all the therapies as well. She is making some progress and her developmental level will be tested at her school soon as well.
We took Rachel to the same eye clinic as Haley back in October. This clinic is awesome and they did a very through testing of her vision. We found out that Rachel's vision is worse than we thought. Her vision is 20/130 with her glasses on. She is visually impaired. They prescribed her a new and improved glasses prescription and those new glasses have helped her. We had noticed Rachel would put things close to her eyes to see it so we figured she had worse vision than her previous eye doctor had said.
Rachel loves jumping on the trampoline and going to the park. She also enjoys watching TV though her attention span still doesn't keep her at the TV for long. Her attention span has gotten better though. Rachel loves to go up to people and is friendly. Rachel likes to play dress up along with Kayla. Rachel is a friendly girl who loves attention and praise.

Interview with Robert L. Moser, Senior Vice President Global Key Accounts and Wolfram Heymann, Vice President Marketing Global Key Accounts
"Understanding local needs, but acting globally"
For many years Brenntag has had a successful Global Key Account program that is valued by suppliers and customers alike. Robert L. Moser, Senior Vice President - Global Accounts and Wolfram Heymann, Vice President - Marketing, Global Key Accounts talk about the advantages of Brenntag's Global Key Account program, how the team is positioned and the outlook for the years ahead.
How are Brenntag's Key Account teams positioned on a global scale?
Moser: Each of Brenntag's four global regions has a Director of Key Accounts who is responsible for managing the activities with our Key Account customers. Each region has a team of Key Account Executives, Key Account Specialists, Business Managers and Key Account Administrators, who focus on our customers.
Out of this group we choose specific Key Account Executives to manage those customers that need and want 'one face' for Brenntag. Those 'Global' Key Account Executives manage the customer relationship on a worldwide scale, using their colleagues and teammates from each region in support of their activities.
My role is to offer support, guidance, strategic planning and coordination for these colleagues so that we function as a singular and cohesive unit. Our team truly lives our slogan 'ConnectingChemistry' across the globe for Brenntag and our customers.
Heymann: In this matrix organization, communication and coordination is very important. We have to ensure that our strategy and value proposition are aligned well. A global account expects an aligned approach. Our Global Account organization enables us to act as a global player. We have very strong and experienced regional key account teams and the global organization coordinates our business across the regions.
Additionally our objective is to gain new global accounts and we are the first point of contact for customers looking for a global approach.
What is the USP of Brenntag's Global Key Account structure?
Moser: In one word: flexibility. Our Global Key Account structure allows Brenntag to combine the strength and coordination of a uniform decision on issues important to our customers counterbalanced with an appreciation of locally important cultural, governmental, and regulatory issues.
For example, our program allows us to set specific pricing processes for our customers, no matter their location. We bring a uniform approach to safety globally. We can bring a uniform management approach to KPIs important to the customer such as one standard for OTIF (On-time-in-full) scores. But at the same time, our structure allows us to understand and appreciate the local needs, nuances, and uniqueness to a customer's operations so that we tailor our service and approach to what that customer needs locally.
We appreciate the local cultural aspects of our customer's employees, we understand local import rules. We understand regulatory issues important to complying with all local laws. No other distributor has this combination of capabilities. Brenntag brings the best flexible approach. This is becoming more evident as we are finding that many customers are proactively coming to Brenntag asking to be made Global Key Accounts.
Heymann: The USP is the organization as such. We are very fast if a customer asks for a global program, because our procedures are implemented and well established. Bob mentioned already the flexibility. Every customer has a different strategy for a global program from extremely decentralize to totally centralize. Our organization can handle of these requests and everything in between. Each customer project is tailor-made.
What are the advantages for global customers in doing business with Brenntag?
Moser: The list is actually quite long, but more importantly, what is important to one customer, may not be important to another in the least. The Global Key Account team believes that insuring that we understand what is important to the customer is what we focus on as we support their business.
Now, clearly certain things are almost universally important to customers such as safety, assurance of supply, competitive and fair pricing, and having a Key Account Executives that understands their business and are available, attentive and responsive. They know they have an amazing resource in their Brenntag Key Account Executive to help them do their business more effectively and efficiently.
But we also appreciate that one customer may, for example, be critically focused on product quality and specifications, while another may be critically focused on recycling of used chemical containers in order to comply with local regulatory laws. We appreciate all of these requirements, and tailor our efforts to align with the customer's needs and wishes.
But let's also not forget some of the other things that bring great value to our customers. Brenntag's membership in Together for Sustainability and in the UN Global Compact is unique among chemical distributors.
Let's also not forget that financial stability is also a very important aspect for any supplier a customer may have. Brenntag's financial results are obvious as we report them quarterly. This strength may sound good, but what many do not realize is that it allows us to do many things for our customers. Capital investment to add mixing and blending resources, purchase additional trucks, lease railcars, build or expand new warehouses, acquire additional distribution companies, etc.
Heymann: Our global footprint is a real advantage for our global accounts and of course a differentiator compared to competition. With more than 550 sites across the world we provide an unparalleled logistical service. The global accounts appreciate this – Brenntag is just around. Combined with the geographical strengths our product and service portfolio is the broadest in the market place.
Can you elaborate on a global project Brenntag has with a customer? What is different from local/regional projects?
Moser: One of our Global Key Account customers was quite concerned with assurance of supply for two key materials critical to the manufacture of most of their finished goods. They had been procuring the material in each country in which they operated but had little economies of scale with any producer, and were perpetually frustrated by product outages.
They approached Brenntag and asked if we could coordinate a global program for them on these two materials using our tank infrastructure and delivery capabilities. We developed a specific program to manage these materials, and today ship them to locations in all four global regions in tank trucks, IBCs and drums.
The customer is very pleased, Brenntag is thrilled with the business, and our manufacture/producer partners have a much better defined volume and run rate that they can depend upon by having Brenntag manage the program. This is truly a best in class example of 'ConnectingChemistry' along the entire supply chain and bringing value to every part of the connection.
Other examples are multiple customers that simply recognized that they could not adequately manage their entire portfolio of small and mid-sized chemical purchases. In some cases our customers purchase chemical items that number into the thousands of SKUs. This becomes extremely costly and time consuming to manage. Brenntag, with the largest portfolio of chemical items of any distributor globally, can many times step in and take over the management and procurement of all of these items.
Then using our warehouse infrastructure around the globe and providing just-in-time delivery, reduce the inventory on the customer's floor thus releasing working capital for them, and greatly eliminating issues such as shelf life expirations or old and damaged raw materials.
Heymann: Another example is a project where we provide mixing and blending services across the world for one customer. We guarantee the same service level in multiple countries and locations.
Moser: What makes the above examples quite interesting is that we do this on a global basis. Locally and regionally Brenntag brings very similar service to its customers. Frankly other distributors can do this locally as well. But when a customer wants to have this uniform approach across multiple countries and continents, only Brenntag has the capabilities to do so.
What is the outlook for Global Key Account at Brenntag?
Heymann: Although we are already quite successful, we are working on optimizations all the time asking ourselves "Where are our weaknesses?", "What can we do better?", "Is the market changing?". Our first objective is to create growth.
That means customer retention in order to protect our existing business on the one hand and launching new projects with existing customers on the other hand but at the same time. Of course we are looking for new global accounts as well. We identified some fields for improvement and we working hard on these topics.
Moser: I love the Global Key Account Program at Brenntag. I have been dedicated to it since 2000 when I inherited it as a North American 'National Account' program from several very excellent predecessors who had gotten the program running. Since then we have seen the program expand around the world and become truly global.
As mentioned earlier, we are having many, many customers approach us about being managed as a 'Key Account'. As many industries and companies consolidate, their need to manage their business on a more centralized and coordinated basis increases. These companies need Brenntag as a partner. Thus, I am extremely positive about the Global Key Account program.

Lipstick musing
I've been thinking about lipstick lately. Sounds strange, I know. That's what happens when you are a stay at home mum, you think about all sorts of bizarre, random things. I could write a whole post about the crazy things I think about, but I won't.
Anyhow, I was wondering how other people use their lipsticks. I use a different one every day, usually several different ones each day. I'll put one on in the morning before the school run, usually a matte or long lasting formula. I retouch around morning tea time, normally with a cream formula. Lunchtime I'll put on another matte lipstick and then I touch up with a cream formula before the afternoon school run.
I rarely change the lip products in my handbag, so if I'm out and I need to touch up I'll just put on whatever I have in my bag. Back when I was working I'd use the same lipstick all day, I'd put it on in the morning and take it to work so that I could touch up during the day.
I had a friend who only had one lipstick, she'd use it constantly until it was finished and repurchase the same colour. If that colour had been discontinued she'd go on a hunt for a similar colour. I used to be like that too, I had two lipsticks and two glosses that I'd use until I'd finished them. Those were the days I used to finish my lipsticks and glosses. Sometimes I'd like to go back to those days but I doubt it'll ever happen.
How do you use lipstick? Do you use the same colour all day or switch it around? How many lipsticks do you own?

- Monera - the most simple living things.
- Protista - eukaryotes with only one cell.
- Fungi - mushrooms, mould and yeast.
- Plantae - all plants, such as trees and grass.
- Animalia - all animals, including people.
How are living organisms classified?
They are classified according to:
- cell type
- number of cells and
- type of nutrition
Monera include all kinds of bacteria.
Protista are also very small. Most have only one cell, but some have a few. Unlike monera, they are eukaryotes. They can be autotrophic or heterotrophic.
Examples of protista are single-celled algae and amoebae (singular: amoeba).
Most fungi (singular: fungus) are multicellular, although yeast is unicellular. Their cells have nuclei (singular: nucleus), which means they are eukaryotes. Unlike plants, fungi do not have tissues, and they cannot make their own food, i.e. they are heterotrophic.
Mushrooms, mould and yeast are fungi.
The plantae kingdom is the second largest kingdom, with over 250,000 species. They are autotrophic eukaryotes, which means they have complex cells, and can make their own food.
Plants range from tiny mosses to enormous trees. There are flowering plants called angiosperms and non-flowering plants called gymnosperms. Without plants, there will probably be no life here on Earth! Almost all heterotrophs feed on plants.
The largest kingdom is animalia, consisting of over 1 million species. All animals are heterotrophic eukaryotes with many complex cells. The higher animals are vertebrates, such as birds and mammals; and the lower animals are invertebrates. The simplest (least highly evolved) include the protozoa (singular: protozoan), sponges, jellyfish, and worms. Other invertebrates include arthropods, molluscs, and echinoderms.

Are you interested in reading and buying the best selling philosophy books, but, above all, is there a philosophy book that became a real best seller? Yes, there is. I am discussing about Figures of the One Must Go by Victor Living. This work has sold tons of copies since the first three months of his release. It is not traditionally published, but self-published by a new author living in the US. Indeed, his pen name Victor Living is already a symbol. Starting from his pen name, in this best-selling philosophy book, the author deepened the most hidden sides of the modern world, its gloomy nuances and the worst flaws of Humans.
It is really interesting reading a book written by such author-originator who lives in the US. Just these days, where the fear of a new cold war between the US and Russia is always closer and closer, a philosophy book like this can give an unconventional point of view to try fixing the problems of the globalized world.
The main philosophical concept of the book is that the worst human happenings, such as exploitation, wars, slavery, dictatorship, have the same root, in common. If you observe the subtitle of the book, namely Symbolical Logo Roots, injustice comes from a very ancient human root founded on greed and dominance of people over other people. That is the book 1, because the author wants to release two interesting philosophical sequels. In this first book, anyway, the author asks the following question to all of us: Why, despite the great figures of the past, such as Galileo Galilei, Aristotle and shining examples of Democracy such as Greece and despite the faith in God, Evil always prevails over Good?
The upsetting explanation is in this best-selling philosophy book, that is also a must read work! But this is only one of the many topics explored in the book. There are many other ones that readers must read to deepen the several points of view faced by the author.
Moreover, Victor Living has added other controversial chapters to the book, such as Male Marriage, surely a fairly controversial and burning modern topic to discuss nowadays.
To help us better understand the modern world, this best-selling philosophy book has been split into different chapters, everyone with a own title and topic which summarize four different paths of life: Philosophical Path, Psychological Path, Political Path, Lyrical Path.
These various chapters are perfectly intertwined among them, to lead us to a unique, clear and shocking truth: we are all programmed like a software and not only because of the widespread presence of the Internet and digital devices. They are undoubtedly guilty and accomplices in this big game of manipulation, but the mechanism to control our life and mind is more sinister and perverse. That is why, among the best-selling philosophy books, the one written by Victor Living deserves to be read.
I read it and can affirm that the book expands our mind on the strange and often unfair contradictions of the 21st century. Browsing the various pages, you'll be driven to know more about the private life of the author, his childhood, his early stages of his philosophical journey. At the beginning, in fact, the author also discusses about his personal and private life, his relationship with the parents, especially his wise and clever father, that in the book turns out to be a real philosopher capable to express and give life tips and advice about friendship, disease, poverty and richness.
But not only, through four different paths of life, the author takes advantage to tell also about the tragedy of 09/11 and the misleading manipulation behind this same tragedy. He also goes across the alleged Russian plot to foster the election of Donald Trump.
In short, this writer managed to offer an excellent comparison between beauty and ugliness of our modern life. In the book, the author also faces the concept of Capitalism, that has been shown as another wicked manipulation tool. Today, due to Capitalism, the power only belongs to money and not to humankind. From here, you can find further explanations about other modern distortions, such as broken promises by politicians, economic crisis, enslavement and exploitation of labor.
Through the book, readers can find surprising answers on their doubts and their own life, to expand their mind and gain inner peace and joy of living.
Thanks to this book, they'll also gain, the courage to overcome grief and loss and the power to face the daily and unavoidable troubles of the modern lifestyle. For all I said here, this is one of the most outstanding and unexpected best-selling philosophy books of the 21st Century and surely the best for beginners, book lovers and for all of us.

Personal, Social, Health and Citizenship Education at Cleves is a planned programme of learning though which children acquire the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to manage their lives now and in the future. As part of a whole school approach, we are aiming to develop the qualities and attributes children need to thrive as individuals, family members and members of society.
Each year we cover a range of topics including creating a community, how we solve problems, managing feelings and learning how to make school a safe place for all.
There is also a focus on bullying and how to deal it. Children will learn to develop relationships and friendships both within and outside of school. As a school, through our PSHCE curriculum, we will enable children to set themselves goals and work towards them.
To enrich the PSHCE curriculum we arrange visits from community bodies such as the police, environmental health, health professionals, traffic management.
Our School Council, elected each term, meets regularly and is active in helping children to take an active role in the school.

Sometimes you just want to read a text and not respond immediately. Of course, if read receipts are turned on, that'll make whoever sent it think, "WTF? ARE YOU IGNORING ME?" While Mom should probably calm down, there is, in fact, a way to get around pissing her off. And it doesn't even involve medication.
You can totally avoid that "read" marker altogether by using the "3D Touch" on newer model iPhones, as demonstrated in the above MacRumors video. Basically, "3D touch" allows you to view an iMessage and keep it in a state of "Delivered" limbo. Alternatively, you can go into your settings and turn "read" off forever. But, the "3D Touch" option allows you to be selective, and dare we say... sneaky?
See exactly how to execute both options in the video above. But also, maybe just tell Mom you're OK?

This month is my anniversary.
Congratulations, you say! But anniversary of what?
Ten years ago, I came home from work, and Mr. X announced that we would need to move. His sales were drying up and it was time to make a move to a better opportunity.
He contacted a realtor and put the house on the market.
A few days later, I came home from work, and Mr. X was packing up books from the living room bookshelves. He had the family Bible, and he said that we should throw it away because we weren't using it. I was clearly horrified at the thought of throwing away a Bible, and this was our special family Bible that my mother had given us, and it had family genealogy recorded inside. I dismissed his comment as a deepening spiral in his apparent mental illness.
We sold the house, we moved hours away, knowing few people there, leaving our home that our children were born into, and started over.
Almost exactly one year later, he announced that he would be leaving, and packed his things and left in 45 minutes.
Today I record for you how Mr. X was like my left arm.
How Mr. X was like my left arm, and indeed I am right-handed:
- Sometimes it helped out, although it performed clumsily.
- Mostly it just hung around waiting on someone else to get the job done.
- Wanted to be thought of as essential when in actuality its main purpose was to hang around and act important.
- It's been around for so long, it seemed like part of me.
- I could get another one.
How your husband leaving is like someone cutting off your left arm:
- It hurts.
- You miss it, if for no other reason than it was a part of you that was yanked from your body.
- It really didn't do that much anyway.
- You look around, the damn thing's gone, and you go ahead and figure it out by yourself and probably do it better, smarter, faster than before.
- There's going to be a big mess to clean up.
- You can get another one.

Jenn's Review: The Last Olympian
Summary: All year the half-bloods have been preparing for battle against the Titans, knowing the odds of victory are grim. Kronos's army is stronger than ever, and with every god and half-blood he recruits, the evil Titan's power only grows.
While the Olympians struggle to contain the rampaging monster Typhon, Kronos begins his advance on New York City, where Mount Olympus stands virtually unguarded. Now it's up to Percy Jackson and an army of young demigods to stop the Lord of Time. In this momentous final book in the New York Times best-selling Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, the long-awaited prophecy surrounding Percy's sixteenth birthday unfolds. And as the battle for Western civilization rages on the streets of Manhattan, Percy faces a terrifying suspicion that he may be fighting against his own fate.
Review: I couldn't stop thinking about Percy Jackson, so once again I was sucked back into the series... And now I'm sad that it's done. Luckily, I still have his other series to read, Heroes of Olympus and the Kane Chronicles.
The Last Olympian is the pinnacle of the series and it is fabulous. It's a final battle as I could never have imagined. Who is not what they seem? Everyone has an agenda, and it maynot align with Percy's attempt to save the world. What friendships will stay the course? Or will Percy himself make a decision that destroys it all? There was plenty of twisty goodness to the plot so that you never knew where things were headed next.
I love the way Percy finally took charge and became a leader. He took risks and made hard decisions. I love that Mr. Riordan took the time to tie up all the loose ends. It would have been easy to just resolve the major storylines and let everything else be left to the readers imagination, but Mr. Riordan makes sure he completes all aspects of the story.
It's wonderful to see how everyone has grown and how much they have learned, gods and demi-gods alike. I look forward to adding more Rick Riordan to my TBR pile. I know I won't be able to stay away too long.
Final Take: 5/5

To the mid-right you will see a JR which put me very much in mind of Jasper. I would have had a shot of him (or her) chasing Dylan except that Dylan run off frit and went behind a bush as soon as the animal approached. In this picture it is on its way back to its owner who is shouting stuff at it, stage left.
This is an evidential shot to show Dylan safely in the car post-water jump. Pls note the original Potters sticker on the rear screen. (It's a bit cramped and not his normal carriage: that is a priceless [after what I've spent on it] antique with an auto box and rear wheel-drive: useless in snow.)

Favorable Decision for Clients in SEC Ruling
Edgeworth Economics worked on behalf of clients who received a favorable decision from the SEC in a ruling on a proposed rule change.
At the request of several exchanges, Edgeworth Partner Dr. Parker M. Normann submitted a comment letter on the economic implications of the proposed rule change, which was frequently cited and quoted by the SEC in its ruling. Dr. Normann's analysis explained that the proposed rule change is likely a form of price discrimination and is not motivated by efficiency-based volume discounts. He provided an expert opinion on pricing, efficiencies, and the effects on rebates as they related to the issue.

It's harder than most people think. Everyone wants to say, "I understand" or "It will get better with time" or "It will stay with you forever."
And which do I believe most? – "It will stay with you forever."
As for the rest – No, you probably don't understand and No, it won't get better with time.
Because losing him was hard. It was a life-changer, a life-changer I want nothing to do with, a life-changer that nobody needs or wants, a life-changer that I didn't get a choice in. Many people might say it's a life-changer that nobody deserves. However, when I hear the word deserve, my question isn't about whether or not I deserved it or my family deserved it, but did he deserve it? It doesn't really matter though, in the end, because deserving something is a moot point. We make choices and we live with those choices. Sometimes, choices made by others will have just as big as, if not bigger, of an impact on us than our own choices.
With that said, I miss him terribly. I miss everything about him. His kindness. His laughter. His insane belief that he must carry his burdens alone. I miss his smile and the way he played with his siblings. I miss his quick texts, short and to the point, never saying more or less than was needed. I miss the quiet way he walked through the house and his hugs. I miss his hugs so much. Not the quick, arm thrown across my shoulder kind of hugs (although all hugs are Great!), but the way he wrapped his arms completely around me and he let me do the same. I miss him asking me to make him oatmeal every afternoon after school or at some random time on a Sunday. I miss watching him interact with his siblings. I miss the wrestling matches with his brothers and watching them toss the football in the yard. I miss the love that shown so brightly when he held Zephaniah. I miss the softness that he was in his heart, his voice, his temperament.
He was quiet. He was lovable. When he smiled, his eyes lit up the world around him. I miss him something awful and I will never get over it.
It's only been 8 1/2 months – sad, depressing months. I can't fathom the rest of my life without him.
Most days, like happened this morning, something will trigger thoughts of him and then the sadness starts all over again.
I miss him and I want him back. Nothing will ever change that. Not time. Not age. Not years that go by. He will always be part of me and there will always be sadness there.

SeThey removed 11 overgrown shrubs, shredding them on site. These shrubs were approximately 10-15 ft. tall. The process went very smoothly and in a orderly fashion. Care was taken when removing the shrubs not to interfere with power lines on property, etc. The clean up afterwards was quick and efficient, removing all branches and debris.
Mr. G., Pompton Plains, NJ
The crew that took down my massive tree worked like a well oiled machine. The day they took down that monster was not a nice day. They worked thru the pouring rain without complaint. In my estimation you could not find a more diligent crew.

An extremely professional group of people.

German Shepherds - A Quick Overview german shepherds, german shepherd puppy, german shepard puppy, german sheppard puppy German Shepherds - A Quick Overview German Shepherds
The German Shepherd Dog or Alsatian is a breed of dog. Because they are eager to please, they are easily trained in obedience and protection. German Shepherd Dogs are often used as working dogs in many capacities, including search and rescue (SAR) dogs, military dogs, police dogs, or guard dogs. They are also used as assistance dogs (particularly guide dogs), though not as much as Labrador Retrievers and Golden Retrievers.
The German Shepherd Dog is a large, strong, handsome-looking dog. The fur is a double-coat and can be either short or long haired. It varies in color, coming in many different shades, mostly cream (tan) and brown, but also solid black or white. Dogs with coats that have tricolored hair (black and white with either brown or red) are called sable or agouti. Different kennel clubs have different standards for the breed according to size, weight, coat color, and structure.
Common faults
There are several common features that are disqualifying faults in show dogs:
Breed lines
There are several types or lines of GSD and the behavior, abilities, and appearance of each is quite different. The major lines are the international working line, the international show line, and the North American show line.
Dogs from FCI-recognised international working lines are bred primarily for traits involving their working ability rather than appearance, so their appearance can be somewhat varied.
The FCI-recognized international show lines differ in that emphasis is given more to the appearance of the dog when breeding, so they are very consistent in type or appearance.
The North American show lines have also been bred primarily for their looks, but have a markedly different appearance from the international dogs, featuring a noticeably sloped back and sharp angulation of the hock joint. There is a current debate over whether the American show lines still represent the original German Shepherd Dog, or whether the line has become distinct enough that it should be considered a separate breed. Critics of the American line argue that the working ability of these dogs has been lost, and that the angled back is detrimental to the health of the animal. Proponents of the line believe that the altered bone structure of their dogs represents an improvement to the herding ability of the animals.
In the erstwhile GDR, the German Shepherds more closely adhered to the old prewar standard marked by straighter back, longer and denser coat and darker color. These dogs are now praised for breeding working dogs as they are less prone to hip dysplasia. Attempts to preserve this distinct line and raise it to the status of an officially recognized breed ("East German Shepherd Dog") are stalled.
Variant sizes and coats
Some groups or breeders have focused on variants or mutations of the breed that are not recognized by most kennel clubs as acceptable show GSDs but that might eventually become breeds on their own.
White coat
A white (or very light), but not albino, version of the German Shepherd has also always occurred, but was designated a disqualifying fault in the AKC in the late 1960s. The white coat is considered a fault by International (FCI) Fédération Cynologique Internationale breed standards in most parts of the world.
The white coat, however, does not prevent the white-coated German Shepherd Dog from being registered in the AKC as a German Shepherd Dog. White Shepherds hold champion titles in the UKC (United Kennel Club). Now, some breeders selectively breed White Shepherds for their beautiful snowy white coats and physical stature, striving for a Shepherd that closely resembles the original dog; less angular than today's German Shepherd breed. See the WGSDCA or American White Shepherd Association for more detail. However, the white German Shepherd has been recognised by some organisations under the name Berger Blanc Suisse (or White Shepherd Dog).
Long-haired coat
The so-called "long-haired German Shepherd" is considered a "fault" in the German Shepherd Dog breed according to American Kennel Club standards as well as the International (FCI) breed standard. The long hair gene is recessive. Dogs with this coat look somewhat like the Tervueren type of Belgian Shepherd Dog. An example with pictures can be found here. Popular myth holds that long-haired GSDs ("fuzzies") are more affectionate, but there is little evidence for this. Long coats usually have no or little undercoat, thus they can be rather sensitive to extreme weather.
Giant shepherd
Some organizations recognize a deliberately bred, larger variation of the breed as the Shiloh Shepherd Dog or King Shepherd.
Well-bred GSDs have powerful jaws and strong teeth, can develop a strong sense of loyalty and obedience, and can be trained to attack and release on command. Poorly bred GSDs such as those from puppy mills can be fearful, overly aggressive, or both. GSDs (like Pit Bulls, Rottweilers and Dobermanns), are often perceived as inherently dangerous, and are the target of Breed Specific Legislation in several countries. If a GSD is violent or aggressive, it is often due to the combination of poor breeding (bad nerves) and the owner's lack of control or training. GSDs are often used as guard, attack and police dogs, which further contributes to the perception of being a dangerous breed. However, many GSDs function perfectly well as search dogs and family pets, roles where aggressive behavior is unsuitable.
GSDs' sense of loyalty and emotional bond with their owners is almost impossible to overstate. Separation trauma is one reason they are now used less often in guide dog roles, since guide dogs are typically trained from puppyhood by one owner prior to final placement with their employer.

Vivo is all set to follow the footsteps of most of the other recently released flagship and release their very own near bezel-less smartphone titled as the Vivo Xplay 7. Nothing has been officially revealed yet but we did learn a lot about this upcoming phone from multiple sources. Before we get to those details, let's check out the Vivo Xplay 7 Kuwait price first. It will be quite expensive and will be available for around KWD 200 . Keep reading to find out more about the phone and the Vivo Xplay 7 release date Kuwait.
From what we have seen in the leaked rendered pictures, Vivo Xplay 7 might show up with a surprisingly high screen-to-body ratio. It will be a big 6.0-inch screen showing 2160 x 1080 pixels resolution and 402ppi of pixel density. The display will be protected by Corning Gorilla Glass but we don't know the exact version yet. There are also rumors that the home button with fingerprint sensor will be hidden in the display which will be interesting to see after the Vivo Xplay 7 release date Kuwait. For now, if you want to get a phone with bezel-less display, there is the Google Pixel 2 XL and iPhone X you can check out. The Vivo Xplay 7 is expensive but these two phones are way more expensive compared to the Vivo Xplay 7 Kuwait price.
Another rumor about this upcoming phone is that the phone will feature not one or two but three cameras on the back. However, another rumor suggests that the phone will be packing two 112-megapixel cameras with OIS and dual-LED flash. We will have to wait for its official announcement to find out whether it's true or not. It will be capable of capturing 2160p videos at 30fps. The front camera will be also a good 16-megapixel one with f/2.0 aperture. Things are looking great on paper and if the triple rear camera part is true, this phone will be one of its kind with a fingerprint sensor on the display and triple camera. For now, there is the Samsung Galaxy S8, Google Pixel 2 and iPhone 8 Plus you can check out if it's a good camera focused phone you are after.
Under the hood, the Vivo Xplay 7 will be packing the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 octa-core processor paired with 6GB of RAM. There is no microSD card slot but users will get 128GB built-in storage which should be enough. We don't know the size of the battery yet but it should be close to 4080 or more similar to its processor. Other notable features include: Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, NFC, fast battery charging support and Android 7.1 Nougat operating system.
The Vivo Xplay 7 will be here sometimes around December, 2017.
