Sterling High Pressure Hydro Jetting
Are you looking for an experienced plumbing contractor that offers Sterling high pressure hydro jetting? Kiddco Plumbing offers professional high pressure hydro jetting to the entire Northern Virginia area. Clogged drain and sewer lines are one of the most frustrating plumbing problems facing homeowners and businesses. A clogged drain or sewer line can cause all of the sinks, toilets, showers and other plumbing fixtures in the home or commercial building to back up.
Leesburg VA Water Jetting
Kiddco Plumbing uses the latest equipment and techniques for expert Leesburg VA water jetting. The traditional method used to clear a sewer or drain line is to use a commercial grade plumbing snake with a special cutting head to cut through the clog. Plumbing snakes are an important part of every plumber's toolbox, but they have some limitations. Plumbing snakes can cut through most clogs, but they leave behind bits of debris and gunk that provide a starting point for a new clog to form.
This is especially true for clogs caused by root infiltrations. When roots from trees and shrubs infiltrate drain lines, grease, oil, sludge, paper, hair and other debris quickly accumulate on the tree roots and clog the pipe. A plumbing snake can cut through the clog allowing the water to drain, but most of the roots are left behind and a new clog will quickly form
Ashburn Clearing Sewer Lines
If you need an experienced Ashburn plumber to clear your sewer lines, call the Northern Virginia sewer line experts. Kiddco Plumbing uses modern high pressure hydro jetting to remove tough clogs in drain lines and sewer lines. Kiddco Plumbing's hydro jetting equipment uses water pressurized to about 3,000 psi to scour the inside of your pipes to remove built up layers of scum and debris and clear your sewer lines. Our trained plumbers insert high pressure water hose with a specially designed nozzle into the pipe and spray the inside of the pipe with highly pressurized water.
Hydro jetting uses no caustic chemicals and is safe for your pipes and sewer lines. Hydro jetting thoroughly cuts through clogs and removes the entire clog, including tree and shrub roots. The water used to clear the clog and clean the pipe flows down the train along with the clog and debris. Your drain and sewer lines will be returned to nearly new condition. For tough sewer and drain line clogs, contact our Sterling High Pressure Hydro Jetting Experts at Kiddco Plumbing.

HDB flats are covered by the compulsory HDB Fire Insurance Scheme—but is that enough? Some HDB owners would think that getting enhanced home insurance isn't necessary as their flats are already insured. When it comes to protecting your home, it is important to understand why the HDB Fire Insurance Scheme alone may not be enough, and how a home insurance can give you a better sense of security and a peace of mind.
Is Home Insurance Really Necessary for HDB Owners?
Financial Planning: Get MAPPED
Contributed by: Estelle Heng
Intern from Gerontological Management Studies, School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Temasek Polytechnic.
'I'm too young to think about this' is probably the most common excuse not to start financial planning in Singapore. However, if we think twice, we're never too young. Parents buy insurance for their babies as soon as they are born, some before they even take their first breaths. What's so important about insurance that it is this urgent? The reality is that unexpected things happen. And when they do, you can't afford to give up your future because of piled-up debts from hospitals or leaving your dependents to pay them off. So really, insurance is more than just protecting yourself, it includes supporting your loved ones as well.
Insights on Financial Planning at Different Stages of Life
Despite the large number of financial advisers in Singapore, many are still unaware that personal financial planning goes beyond some discussions with a financial adviser and is, in fact, an essential part of leading a fulfilling life. The list below highlights different stages of a person's life and gives you an insight on what should be noted when making financial decisions at these life stages.

The Elgar Companion to Transaction Cost Economics
Edited by Peter G. Klein and Michael E. Sykuta
Chapter 16: Empirical Methods in Transaction Cost Economics
Michael E. Sykuta
Michael E. Sykuta Transaction cost economics (TCE), and the New Institutional Economics (NIE) more generally, places a strong emphasis on empirical research. That research, in a number of applied fields, is described throughout this volume. Empirical observation and analysis has played a central role in the development of TCE, going back to Coase's original inquiry into the nature of the firm (Coase, 1937). Coase's seminal work was motivated by observations of incongruities between economic theory and the real world, and a desire for a theory of the firm 'where the assumptions may be both manageable and realistic' (Coase, 1937, p. 386). This approach has led TCE researchers to crack open not only the black box of production known as the firm, but also the market itself, examining the structures of individual transactions and their implications for firm and market performance. The result is a burgeoning field of empirical research on the causes and consequences of different modes for governing the allocation and coordination of resources in an economy. Is the empirical evidence persuasive? Macher and Richman's (2008) review of the application of TCE across the range of social science disciplines finds 'considerable support for the main propositions derived from transaction cost economic theory' (p. 138) but concludes there are lingering challenges. Oliver Williamson (2000, pp. 605–7) is more bold, calling TCE an 'empirical success story'. But this view is by no means universal (see, for example, Chapter 25 by Foss and Klein and Chapter 28 by Hodgson, in this...

What exactly is CBD? Let's begin with some fundamentals. Cannabidiol (CBD), is a compound that comes from the Cannabis Sativa L. plant. There is a multitude of fallacies about cannabis, but the first one worth clarifying is that both marijuana and hemp are part of the Cannabis plant species and both embody compounds known as "cannabinoids." Unlike its notorious cousin, THC, CBD does not make a person high.
A fact that many people find astounding is that the human bodies produce their own cannabinoids, known as endocannabinoids (endo- means within). Humans are born with them! Something else that shocks people is that cannabinoids aren't just found in the cannabis plant, they're also naturally occurring in nature (like kale and broccoli for examples), but they are the most abundant in cannabis.
When we consume cannabinoids, they interact with the endocannabinoid system, a system of receptors throughout our central nervous system and almost every organ of our bodies (our skin, digestive tracts, etc.). Cannabinoids are the keys that unlock these receptors and this system is extremely important to our health because they can help regulate the immune system, protect the brain, help manage stress and even keep the body in physiological balance (homeostasis).
I like to think of CBD like a vitamin. For example, we're born with calcium in our bones and as we age, our natural reserves of calcium deplete. Similar to how we're encouraged to start taking calcium supplements to keep our bones strong, we also need to supplement our natural reserves of CBD as we get older to help keep our bodies in balance. The body becomes more susceptible to damage by stress as a person ages. This is why CBD should be considered as a general wellness supplement. Because it has no debilitating side effects and is non-psychoactive, it is virtually safe for any person of any age to use.
As with any supplement, how it affects a person can vary based on their individual body chemistry, but here are some of the researched benefits of CBD:
– analgesic/pain relief
– anti-inflammatory
– anti-anxiety
– neuroprotectant
– antioxidant
There is an abundance of ways one can consume CBD and it's essential to understand that the human body processes and absorbs CBD differently depending on how we consume it. The proper phrase for this concept of absorption is "bioavailability." Higher bioavailability makes it easier for the body to absorb it.
What all of these methods share is that CBD is not psychoactive — meaning, no matter how you use CBD, the CBD itself won't make you feel high.
Sublingual (tinctures/oil): Some tinctures are oil based while others are alcohol based. Tinctures allow for consistent dosing of CBD since they come with measured droppers. You squeeze a few drops (or more, depending on how much you're looking to consume) under your tongue and you hold it there for 30 seconds. Under the tongue is an effective way to consume CBD because it absorbs more directly into your bloodstream so your body doesn't waste much of it.
Inhalation (vape/flower): The lungs are highly permeable and so this is another good method in terms of higher bioavailability and it can work faster than other methods since the vapor goes straight into your circulation.
Oral (capsules/edibles): Surprisingly, taking CBD orally often has the lowest bioavailability, or, the lowest absorption by your body. If you think about the digestion process, you'll start to understand why: Your food passes through a lot of enzymes that break it down as it goes through your digestive tract. In general, not much of the CBD taken in capsule form is absorbed (only 20%). With that said, "water-soluble" formulas are best in this form of consumption.
Topical (creams and salves): Our skin is the body's largest organ and we absorb a lot more through our skin than you would think. CBD not only absorbs through our skin, but it also can be more bioavailable than most other methods. While CBD used topically has the same effects as CBD used in the other methods above, many of these products contain added ingredients that can provide additional therapeutic value. Many CBD tinctures/oils work topically as well!
With the farm bill passed, the community can expect more in-depth research on cannabis to come to light. With over 100 different types of cannabinoids included in this divine herb, there is yet more magic to be revealed about what cannabis is really all about.

Abstract : This report describes the punching of the casing of explosive projectiles with several types of punching charges. These types are: a type which punches a hole with 2 diameter of about 3 cm; a type with 2 circular shape, which punches a disc with a diameter of 10 cm; a type with a linear shape, which punches 2 groove with any desired length. It is also possible to apply this charge in a radial or axial direction; a type with a square shape. Attaching a charge with this shape might be more easy than a attaching a circular charge. The punching of the casing takes place without causing an explosive reaction of the filling of the projectile. A special application is the disposal by an EOD team of bombs which have not functioned. The pinching charge is tested on several types of bombs during NATO EOD trials in cooperation with the EOD of the Royal Dutch Air force. The casing of the bombs, up to a thickness of about 12 mm, can be punched without causing a reaction of explosive content.... Punching, Bombs, Tests.

In one of our recent articles, we explored the ways in which the highly praised "open concept" office might actually be a less conducive work environment than initially thought. But wait. Isn't that pretty much every startup's office layout?
Research tells us that open plan offices could be lowering productivity instead of raising it, but your company's response doesn't have to be a radical change back to traditional cubicles. If you're a startup, you probably can't afford to anyway.
What you should be doing then is identifying the issues that arise with open concepts, determining the root of each problem, and making changes that will develop your open space into an open office.
RELATED: The 13 Things Female Entrepreneurs Do Every Morning That You Ought To Do Too
Creating an effective open office plan
1. Expand with your team
Keep in mind that the office isn't just a room for employees to sit in while they work in complete silence. It's a space for collaboration and discussion. And let's be real, the casual conversations you have with your colleagues about everyday life and current affairs can make work much less dull. That sort of "inconsequential" chatter might even spark inspiration about new trends and interesting events you wouldn't have thought of otherwise. What may be seen as "noise" isn't inherently bad at all.
However, the problem of excessive background noise tends to arise when too many employees are crammed into an office that, had it not been built with an open plan, wouldn't have fit that many people.
While an advantage of open office plans is their lower cost in comparison to traditional office layouts (which explains a startup's attraction to them), companies must ask themselves if it is ultimately cost effective. If the noise and lack of privacy becomes too large an issue, productivity will suffer.
An open layout does facilitate easier in-person communication. However, adequate space also has to be given to those who are simply not involved in certain discussions to focus on their tasks.
So, as your startup grows, make sure you expand your office space to grow with it. Don't try to fit 10 employees into a space that is only effective for 5 to operate in, even if your open plan office appears to allow for it.
2. Provide some degree of privacy
Companies should ensure employees have some amount of privacy when it comes to their work. It's not just about fulfilling the fundamental human desire for privacy, it's also giving every employee's work a sense of importance.
In one startup I worked in, some employees would become so frustrated with the sheer volume of noise generated by the number of people having separate conversations in the office that they would end up leaving the room with their laptops in an effort to concentrate. Mind you, they didn't leave for other special rooms either; they would sit outside at publicly available tables and chairs. While that certainly isn't the most demeaning thing that can happen to an employee, it still speaks of a lack of respect for others' work.
RELATED: Tech Education In Singapore Needs To Be Revamped, Here's How
Your startup's office architecture should aim to reflect the importance of everyone's role. Employees constantly having to choose between leaving the office and trying to work in a disruptive environment are likely to feel their needs in the company disregarded. Morale is bound to suffer if you feel like others' work always takes precedence over yours. Furthermore, who wants to be the person who's always isolating themselves from their coworkers? Do it enough and people start thinking you just dislike them.
So aside from individual workspaces, employees in an open plan office need rooms dedicated to common activities, such as conference rooms, meeting rooms, and pantries. Where possible, more than one workspace should be made available for employees to choose to work in. An open office shouldn't be defined superficially by its lack of walls and barriers, but by open communication among employees who are actually trying to interact with one another and adequate privacy for those who are trying to work without being distracted.
3. Delineate boundaries creatively
Even if you are convinced that the open office plan is a bad idea, it might not be feasible for your company to install new walls in your office. Consider then how strategic desk placement, or maybe the addition of a few large potted plants to divide areas up, could help make your open plan office more purposeful in its openness. For instance, you could purchase cost effective furniture, such as a comfy high-back sofa that could double as an enclosed area for discussions or interviews to take place within (as pictured below).
RELATED: 3 Qualities Every Data Scientist Should Have, According To This Tech Recruiter
Remember: the execution of interior design should take into account traffic flow and aim to delineate individual work spaces!
4. Make it open for everyone
Nothing is more disenchanting about the benefits extolled by your bosses regarding an open layout than knowing that they have their own personal room in the office, while the rest of you are packed like sardines outside. Because what message does that bring across about not only the corporate hierarchy, but the genuine advantages of an open layout?
It's demoralising for entry-level employees to hot-desk every day while higher-ups inhabit large offices, all while being told it's "better for collaboration". Before long, employees will start questioning why the boss isn't more involved in these collaborations.
So perhaps more companies can take a leaf out of Accenture's books. The management consultancy firm's office spans a total of six floors in Raffles City Tower, but unlike traditional offices, all rooms on all six floors are accessible to every employee regardless of career level. According to Accenture's workplace lead in Singapore, Ong Sock Hwee, it is '100 per cent hot desking'.
Furthermore, there is no fixed segregation of departments, which gives employees an opportunity to build connections across job functions. Different rooms are available for various needs, from meetings to teleconferences, as well as ThinkPods made for individual work. Such a design gives everyone a place to work, whether it be by themselves or with others, and whether they are the boss or an intern.
5. Reduce the noise
Aside from making changes to the office space, it is also necessary to look inward and consider if the people in your office are practising social awareness to maintain an effective workspace. As an employee (or employer) yourself, be mindful of the noise you create and its effects on your colleagues.
If you can take a long phone call elsewhere, do it. If you can tell everyone that 10-minute-long story about the phenomenal durian you had in JB last weekend during your lunch hours instead, do it. Distracting behaviour shouldn't become a habit in the workplace, after all.
At this point, it should be said that you mustn't think that being considerate will inevitably end in you having to walk on eggshells at your place of work. It's about considering others' needs, reducing your volume and allowing your startup to remain productive.
RELATED: Here's Why Singapore Is The Best Place For Growing Startups
You can make it work.
It's hard to imagine open plan offices phasing out any time soon, given their lower cost and reputation for tending to be more "vibrant" for the working millennial in contrast to traditional office spaces. It is not sufficient, however, for startups to place any old desk and chair in a four-walled room and call it an office. At least, not if they want their employees to be productive in it.
If you're a startup with an open office plan or if you're looking to move into such a space in the near future, perhaps now would be a good time to evaluate the efficacy of your work environment and make the necessary changes. Invest in more space, better furniture, or maybe even a professional interior designer. Your employees will love you for it. And maybe hate each other a lot less.

Lundin ready for Goddo well spud
Oil and gas company Lundin Norway will spud the Goddo well (16/5-8 S), located in license PL 815 offshore Norway, shortly.
The Goddo well is located in the North Sea and it will be drilled using the Transocean-owned Leiv Eiriksson semi-submersible drilling rig.
The license PL 815 is operated by Lundin with a 60% interest and Concedo and Petoro are its partners with a 20% interest each.
Although the well was supposed to be drilled in May, Concedo said on Friday it would be spud shortly.
A contingent horizontal sidetrack (16/5-8 A) will be drilled back to back with the main bore pending the contingencies. The well is located on the Utsira High, not far from the giant oil field Johan Sverdrup in the central North Sea.
Lundin has already secured a drilling permit from the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate and a safety consent to use the Leiv Eiriksson rig for the well.
Production licence 815 was awarded on February 5, 2016 (APA 2015). This is the first exploration well to be drilled in the current license, but one wildcat well has been drilled earlier within the license area.

Cosmos Add MLS Veteran Adam Moffat To Their Midfield
By Cesar Trelles 1/4/15
As the December buzz surrounding the introduction of Raul has started to settle in, the New York Cosmos got back to work right away after their brief break for the holiday. On Friday, the storied New York soccer team announced the signing of midfield veteran Adam Moffat for the upcoming 2015 season. Moffat is a Scottish soccer player who does have a valid green card in the US. As such, he will not occupy an international roster spot for the Cosmos on their roster.
Moffat has played in Major League Soccer for eight seasons, most recently playing with FC Dallas. He spent four seasons with the Columbus Crew (2007-2010) and three seasons with the Houston Dynamo (2011-2013). During his time with the Columbus Crew, he helped the team capture the MLS Cup in 2008. In 2011 and 2012, Moffat would help Houston reach the MLS Cup finals. Prior to joining MLS in 2007, Moffat made 27 appearances for Elgin City in the Scottish Second Division.
Moffat is seen as a tenacious midfielder and a player that has a hard nose attitude. Standing at six feet tall, he will provide a big body in the midfield which will help the Cosmos replace the physical presence lost by the departure of Joseph Nane. His aggressiveness on the pitch made him a favorite amongst his teammates and fans while in Houston.
Being a midfield veteran, Moffat will be able to provide some experience and guidance to the younger players on the team. Helping him to transition to the spotlight in New York will undoubtedly be Hunter Freeman, who was Moffat's teammate while they both played on the Houston Dynamo.
On the surface, this may not be a glamorous signing for the Cosmos but it covers one of the concerns that head coach Giovanni Savarese had once the 2014 season came to a conclusion. Savarese talked several times about the lack of quality depth at midfield particularly when injuries were a common occurrence. With midfielders such as Senna, Szetela and now Moffat, quality should not be an issue going forward.
"Adam is a quality midfielder with a tremendously competitive personality and has significant starting experience," Cosmos head coach Giovanni Savarese said. "He adds bite and aggression to our midfield and is going to give us a lot of diversity and options in terms of how we can line up."
Finally Moffat had a flair for the unexpected. On multiple occasions he was known for unleashing some long distance shots on goal, some of which would find the back of the net. With the Cosmos lack of scoring and their frustrating predictability of crosses into the middle, an occasional Moffat strike from long distance might just be what the Cosmos need to mix things up a bit offensively. Below are a couple of videos of Moffat's long distance goals. As a Cosmos fan, I don't remember goals like this other than of course, the Marcos Senna goal in Soccer Bowl!

Cacciatorino (small hard salami)
This particular salami has this name because, in the past, it was the favorite food of hunters, thanks to its small size allowing an easy carriage inside the haversack. Compared to the past, this salami is much less fat and salty with less cholesterol, more protein and a much more balanced taste that made it completely different. Its size has remained small, around 200/250 grams, and this allows a faster aging. The color is a typical ruby and the taste is sweet with a particular delicacy that makes it perfect for an aperitif or an appetizer. Its perfect pairing is with a young or fruity white or red wine, but also with a beer or Franciacorta sparkling wines that mitigate its natural flavor.

Tom Pacheco
Biography (RGF/TPDCD046)
The release in 1998 of Tom Pacheco's first totally solo album, the 2xCD set 'Bare Bones & Barbed Wire', marked a renaissance for the American singer/songwriter following a period of five years when his albums were only released in Scandinavia. 1998 saw two separate European tours by Pacheco (Britain twice, Italy and Norway, with more countries to follow soon), and 1999 will find him consolidating this European following in support of a second 2xCD set, 'The Lost American Songwriter (Bare Bones II)', on which he worked with producer/multi-instrumentalist Jim Weider (of The Band).
Born in 1946 in Massachusetts, Tom is the oldest of nine children raised by Tony Pacheco, a jazz musician and artist. Tom's chosen medium of musical expression, like his father's, became the guitar: "I had my first lesson from my father at the age of ten, but he never pushed music at me". After graduation from Dean Junior College, the 17 year old Tom took off for New York, specifically Greenwich Village. By day, he attended Hofstra University, by night, he was a regular performer at venues such as The Night Owl, the Cafés Wha and Au Go Go and The Bitter End.
In 1965 he formed a "psychedelic folk/rock" band, The Ragamuffins, who released two obscure singles on the Seville label. In 1969, Euphoria, his next group, made an album for the MGM subsidiary, Heritage: "Four folk singers, two guys and two girls. Sharon Alexander was in that band". Pacheco and Alexander, who had met at university, went on to work as a duo. Spotted while performing at The Gaslight, they were subsequently signed by CBS label chief, Clive Davis. "We were real broke, maybe had $5 between us. We took a subway to the CBS offices, did seven of my songs, and walked away with a record contract. We had $3 left". 'Pacheco & Alexander', released in 1971, was the duo's only LP, and they subsequently broke up. Three years later, Jefferson Starship included Tom's 'All Fly Away' on their gold 'Dragon Fly' album].
Pacheco first met legendary producer George 'Shadow' Morton in 1966, while busking. After he signed to RCA Victor during 1975, Jacob Solman, Tom's manager, suggested that Pacheco and Morton should work together. They cemented an enduring personal and professional relationship on a three day train ride across America. Cut in Los Angeles and respectively entitled 'Swallowed Up In The Great American Heartland' and 'The Outsider', the LPs surfaced at either end of 1976, and are classics. But few at the time agreed: "I did some gigs, and then became so frustrated by the music business that I decided to leave it. I settled in Mount Trumper, ten miles outside Woodstock, eventually assembled a band, and we played roadhouses for years. Songwriters didn't have a prayer of getting signed between '77 and '81".
During the first half of the Eighties, Tom moved to Austin, Texas, returned briefly to New York and then resettled in Woodstock, before being tempted to try his luck in Nashville during 1986/87: "They told me they wanted positive uptempo songs. Nothing else". Unsettled, Pacheco's next move was radical, taking him across the Atlantic to Dublin, where he signed with a local independent label, Round Tower. Between 1989 and 1997, Tom Pacheco released seven albums including a duo recording, the last three of which have not been released in the UK - yet.
Around two dozen of the songs featured on 'BB&BW' previously appeared (performed with other musicians) on 'Eagle In The Rain' [1989], 'Sunflowers & Scarecrows' [1991], 'Tales From The Red Lake' [1992], 'Big Storm Comin'' [1993, which was cut in Oslo, Norway, with Steinar Albrigtsen] and finally 'Luck Of Angels' [1994]. Using only guitar and voice, these new renditions bring a "stripped down" perspective to the work of one of America's greatest [folk] songwriters. Subsequent to 'Luck Of Angels', Polygram (Norway) also released 'Bluefields' in 1995, and 'Woodstock Winter' (1997, on which he was assisted by various members of The Band, including Levon Helm, Rick Danko, Garth Hudson and Jim Weider - this album also became Pacheco's first US release for 20 years).
Ecstatic critical reaction and a series of outstanding gigs promoting 'Bare Bones & Barbed Wire' led to Road Goes On Forever Records inviting Pacheco to make another double album in a similar vein, and 'The Lost American Songwriter' emerged in the spring of 1999, with another European tour to follow.

CLEARFIELD – A Brooklyn, NY man has been accused of a large-scale organized retail theft that occurred at the Clearfield Wal-Mart Supercenter in September, according to court documents.
Jamel Wilson, 37, of Brooklyn, NY has been charged by Lawrence Township police with organized retail theft, retail theft/taking merchandise, receiving stolen property and criminal mischief/tampering with property.
According to the criminal complaint filed by Officer Elliott Neeper, police received a call from Wal-Mart Loss Prevention regarding an alleged retail theft. It had allegedly occurred at approximately 3 a.m. Sept. 9 at the Clearfield Wal-Mart Supercenter.
Loss Prevention personnel told police a Verizon phone case, located in electronics, had been broken into overnight. They indicated surveillance video showed three African-American males in the electronics department at approximately 3:10 a.m.
While reviewing surveillance video, Loss Prevention personnel observed one of the males allegedly using a screwdriver, which was obtained from the hardware department, to pry open the glass case displaying the cell phones.
They also observed another male allegedly arrive with a shopping cart with a tote inside to collect merchandise. A third male allegedly acted as a "look-out" for Wal-Mart associates.
Loss Prevention personnel told police that the second African-American male allegedly assisted the first in forcing the security door open and removing cell phones.
Loss Prevention personnel told police the males allegedly loaded the cell phones into a storage tote from the store. They allegedly secured the lid in order to conceal the merchandise contained within it.
Upon further investigation, police determined that the African-American males entered the store at approximately 2:53 a.m. Two males allegedly picked up a 35-gallon tote and proceeded to the shampoo aisle, where they cleared a shelf of all Rogaine products.
The two males then allegedly cleared a shelf of Crest white strips. They also allegedly removed other products, including Align Probiotic, Anti-Acid medication (Nexium, Prilosec and Flonase), Diabetic strips, Claritin and other medications. They allegedly placed all of the merchandise into storage totes.
The two males allegedly met the third male in the children's department, where they removed Leap Pad toys and games as well as other toys. They allegedly placed this merchandise inside an additional tote.
The males proceeded to the Verizon cell phone display case in electronics. They allegedly pried open the case and loaded cell phones and tablets into the totes. The males then allegedly exited the store beyond the point of sale at 3:17 a.m. and entered a silver Sedan that was waiting in the parking lot.
At the store, police observed the Verizon cell phone case, which was allegedly broken into. It had been taped off by Wal-Mart staff in order to keep the public out. Police could allegedly observe fingerprints and smudges left on the security door that had been forced open.
Police requested the assistance of Sgt. Greg Neeper of the Clearfield Borough police with the fingerprinting and removal of the damaged glass from the display case. Upon arrival he photographed the location of the display case and located multiple fingerprints. He also located fingerprints inside of the glass, which is not regularly touched by Wal-Mart staff.
Police collected the two security doors from the display case to enter as evidence. Also, police collected the photographs taken at the scene by Clearfield Borough police. Police sent partial prints to the Erie Crime Lab for an attempted identification.
Police contacted the Pennsylvania State Police PACIC Division for assistance in locating similar incidents. PACIC advised additional Wal-Mart stores were hit, including one in Clinton County and another in North Lebanon County.
On Nov. 4 police received a preliminary laboratory report from the Erie Crime Lab. It indicated that the fingerprints submitted had been identified as that of a 39-year-old male and a second male, Wilson.

Matt Strauss grew up in Wilmette, where professionals have no problem networking their way to new jobs. Mentoring at tech incubator nonprofit I.C. Stars, Strauss discovered that some job seekers on the South and West sides—particularly those with criminal pasts or gaps in employment, or without housing or transportation—don't have that ability.
Strauss found research indicating that a person's ZIP code at birth is a major indicator of economic success. That led him to launch Solve, a software company that connects job seekers to employers and social services. Solve launched in June and has five full-time and three part-time employees. It has built a network of 125 nonprofits and corporations, 23 of which license its software. The software helps organizations locate prospective employees. The organizations can then help the prospects apply for jobs, track them through job placement and measure their success once they start working. Monthly licensing fees range from zero, for basic information, to as high as $10,000, with higher fees buying more information. Solve's donor-advised fund, Building Together, makes grants to social services nonprofits. Strauss envisions a group of funds to provide microgrants to job candidates in need of support services.
Partners so far include Turner Construction, which is building the Obama Presidential Center; Rush University Medical Center; the University of Chicago; Skender Construction; Clayco Construction; and nonprofit workforce-development firms Ucan, Cara, Year Up and No Veteran Left Behind. Solve and its partners have placed 130 people in jobs since its launch a year ago. "We're really breaking down the silos," says Strauss, who lives in the South Loop, not far from Solve's offices at 1400 S. Michigan Ave.
Solve has posted revenue of $100,000, with a goal of $1 million by the end of this year. It's raised $490,000 from angel investors, among them Tom Gimbel, founder and CEO of recruiting firm LaSalle Network. "How (Strauss) sees the ability for corporations to work with nonprofits is unique," says Gimbel, noting that sites like LinkedIn ignore "the more blue-collar population" of job seeker. Strauss is "bringing a for-profit mentality to a social service endeavor."
Next up: Expanding to San Francisco and other cities and adding 200 organizations to its Chicago network. "It's time to change the narrative in Chicago," Strauss says. "We need to see more opportunities and create ways to get people in the door."

resume description for tutor
The purpose of one's resume will be to secure one of the meeting. Do not wait until you return to career objectives or produce a specific amount of cash until you allow yourself to relax and be happy. The intent of the resume is to create the most offender stand aside from the competition and detect an interview telephone. The principal aim of a resume is always to get a work interview that's the place you will attempt to get the available , although a great deal of people believe the goal of the CV is always to find employment. If it's not applicable to a intended job targets, reevaluate its location on your resume. It's possible to observe wide array of excellent resume templates and create a educated decision. Utilities help comprehend the flow of resumes. Layout Resumes generally start having a contact advice along with proficient overview. Deciding up on a design and restart layout is essential for work. Make sure you create a resume with the acceptable style and accurate data. The ideal means to approach a restart will be to utilize it as a way to convey your very best strengths. Your resume includes an objective in place of a skilled overview Target statements describe your own prerequisites, rather than how you will meet the requirements of a company. You may possibly have known about functional and chronological arrangement. Non traditional resumes are ideal for women and men in creative fields, who'd love to exhibit their own capacity to produce visually engaging layouts or even to make web pages. They've traditionally become the primary ticket to surfing the work market. In the summit of the restart is a list of someone's abilities and credentials. Even a HR manager will require just a few moments to scan the summit of one's restart before choosing which heap to set you personally in. What convinces choosing managers to provide you with a second thought could be the way relevant your resume is to this job description. Becoming mindful of exactly what recruiters and hiring managers perform along with your resume at each step together the application will enable you to set expectations regarding if and when you are going to be supplied a response. Un-professional e mail addresses are only one of the ways of delivering employing supervisors the erroneous concept. You may have a foundational resume that compellingly articulates the major advice, states Heifetz, however you have to change it for each possibility. In case you require assistance, you consistently have the option to check on great resume templates. Needless to say, it's far very important to find the guidance of a professional author to get ready the very best federal resume because the demands of national resume are somewhat different than resume demanded for private occupation. You have to adjust your resume to get each and every company or work position you are applying to. If you would like to re locate to get work, you likely know it's ideal to leave your current speech off your own resume. As it has to do with boosting your resume, maybe not all tasks are all produced equivalent. Make an effort to write a concentrated resume for each job. As an alternative, you should tailor your resume to get every work which you apply for. By highlighting knowledge rather than job background, somebody can emphasize he/she she is qualified to the work. About the reverse side, even if you're requesting for employment for a restaurant supervisor, then you could be better suited to discuss your previous expertise in the restaurant market at the exact top of your resume.

Construction of a prestige student accommodation block in Bankside is due to be completed by the end of 2014, developer Carlyle Group has confirmed.
The asset manager said this week that contractor Elliott Thomas had been appointed to construct the Pure Student Living development in Ewer Street, following the securing of some £125 million in bank financing for the project and two other developments.
Carlyle Group managing director Mark Harris said the finance agreements had paved the way for the contractors' appointments.
"Over the next two years we will bring online three state of the art and well located student accommodation facilities which will deliver more than 1,400 much needed new beds into the London market," he said.
The other two developments are at the site of the former Hammersmith Palais in West London and in Goswell Road, Islington.
Pure Student Living is a joint venture between Carlyle Group and Generation Estates.
"We've already surpassed one degree of global warming," said Kristen Buida, manager of the London Climate Change Partnership.

God so loved the world, that in mercy He gave
His Son as a ransom, lost sinners to save;
O thou who hast never believed on His name,
Remember the truth that the Scriptures proclaim:
Condemned! Condemned! already condemned!
On Jesus the Savior thou hast not believed;
Condemned! Condemned! already condemned!
The life that He offers thou hast not received.
Already condemned in the sight of the Lord,
Because thou art turning away from His Word;
Thou choosest the evil, rejectest the right;
Thou lovest the darkness far better than light.
Already condemned, unbeliever, thou art;
O think what a sentence hangs over thy heart;
Yet why wilt thou perish when thou canst be free?
If thou wilt accept it, there's pardon for thee.
Already condemned; wilt thou turn from thy sin?
Then yield to the Spirit now pleading within;
Thro' faith and repentance give Jesus thy heart;
Delay not a moment, but come as thou art.

How EHS Performance Keeps You Fit For Work
When you think about "EHS", what is the first thing that comes to your mind? If you're more interested in the "E" of EHS, you'll probably think about air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, water management or waste management. While if you're more interested in the "S", you'll probably think about incident management or job safety analysis. But what about the "H"? It seems that in the EHS family, "H" is the middle child that is not getting the attention and respect it deserves. Well, this post aims to give the "H" of "EHS" its 15 minutes of fame.
Keeping employees "Fit for Work"
If you had a chance to read about the , you came across value drivers and how they help organizations become best-in-class. At Enablon, we help companies enable nine value drivers, including safe operations, world-class compliance, green facilities, keeping employees fit for work, collaborative supply chain, etc.
Many of the nine drivers are relevant to occupational safety and health, but let's talk about two of them: "Safe Operations" and "Fit for Work". Safe operations are enabled through effective incident management, Job Safety Analysis (JSA), Behavior-Based Safety (BBS), Management of Change (MoC), Process Safety Management (PSM), and other functions. Workers are enabled to be fit for work when companies maintain a healthy workforce, which allows organizations to keep operating in a smooth and productive way. It is more related to the "Health" part of EHS. The key to keeping employees fit for work is to centralize Industrial Hygiene, Occupational Health and Ergonomics analysis as part of enterprise .
Industrial Hygiene helps anticipate hazards
Effective EHS management must include an program that allows companies to assess employee risk exposure and perform data sampling. Industrial Hygiene protects workers by anticipating and identifying workplace hazards or "stressors" that can be of different nature: biological, chemical, physical, ergonomic or psychosocial. It is important to automate an Industrial Hygiene program centrally through software, assess employee risk exposure through qualitative analysis, and monitor employees through data sampling and quantitative analysis. Industrial Hygiene software also allows organizations to access data and exposure assessment information centrally from anywhere in the enterprise, ensure compliance, mitigate risks and facilitate collaboration. For example, if tests inside a warehouse reveal that the air contains a specific chemical above acceptable exposure limits, then a more proper ventilation system can be put into place or the proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) can be recommended.
Occupational Health gives visibility over medical records
Industrial Hygiene keeps workers fit for work by helping organizations anticipate workplace hazards. But what happens if workers are not healthy even before they set foot in a plant to start their workday? This is where becomes relevant. An Occupational Health solution allows a company to gain a real-time view over medical records of workers, keep track of their workers' medical history, plan visits and manage prescriptions and treatments. This in turn helps to track and analyze trends in health issues, in order to proactively implement changes to working environments to better serve employees. A solution for Occupational Health must store up-to-date data in a format that can be easily searched and reported on, across the entire organization. It must also ensure the confidentiality and privacy of employee health records.
Ergonomics analysis prevents injuries
Keeping employees fit for work would not be complete without analyzing Ergonomics in an organization. It is important to prevent workplace injuries, such as musculoskeletal disorders (carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, etc.) by identifying and addressing ergonomic hazards, such as sudden exertions, repetitive strains, or awkward postures. As part of an EHS management program, Ergonomics analysis centralizes information by generating an inventory of hazardous postures at the workplace. The first step is to define Similar Exposure Groups (SEGs) across the organization. For each SEG, ergonomic hazards or stressors are then identified. This allows the identification of SEGs with the highest ergonomic risks that need to be controlled and mitigated.
Enable a cycle of continuous EHS performance
Now that we have seen how EHS performance helps companies keep their employees fit to work, it's good to take a step back and look at the big picture one more time. Earlier in this post, two value drivers for occupational safety and health were mentioned: "Safe Operations" and "Fit for Work". These two value drivers do not operate in silos. They work together as part of a holistic EHS management system, and form a cycle where they support each other, thus increasing EHS performance. Once employees are fit for work, workplace incidents and injuries due to human factors become less likely, thus leading to safe operations. Safe operations then create a safer workplace, leading to greater employee health and wellness, making them more likely to be fit for work. The end result is a safe, healthy and productive workplace that helps the company save time and money, and creates the foundations of operational excellence.
When evaluating an EHS management platform, be sure to look at things holistically and take into consideration solutions that will also keep your employees fit for work. Thinking about Industrial Hygiene, Occupational Health and Ergonomics analysis as part of EHS management is an excellent start.
