Biography - Mrs. Sara Poor
MRS. SARA A. (DUNCAN) POOR, widow of Jasper Newton Poor, is a resident of Vienna, and well known in social circles as an amiable, attractive woman, living in the most beautiful home in the village, planned and built by herself and husband a short time before his death. She is a native of Williamson County, where her parents are still living on the old farm. Her father is one of the substantial farmers of his county, and he has also engaged in business as a general merchant and dealer in tobacco. He and his wife had a family of six children, as follows: Warren Webster, a lawyer at Marion; George Washington, proprietor of a general merchandise store at Lake Creek; James Thomas, who died in infancy; Perrin Wilson, a merchant at Lake Creek; Charles L., at home with his parents; and Sara A.
The subject of this biography was very well educated in her girlhood, and her advantages at home were such as to cultivate the best traits of her character and develop in her a true womanhood, which fitted her for the responsibilities of wedded life, when she was united in marriage with Jasper Newton Poor, September 3, 1882. They were congenial in their dispositions, and worked together hand in hand in the building of a dwelling that is at once the finest and coziest within the precincts of Vienna, its appointments luxurious, tasteful and comfortable. Here Mrs. Poor lives with and for her children, Mamie Newton and Grace Duncan, steadily and cheerfully pursuing the even tenor of her way, and not permitting the lives of her loved ones to be shadowed by her sadness at the loss of one who was a true friend as well as a devoted husband.
Jasper N. Poor was a Johnson County boy, born November 5, 1865, a son of Sampson D. Poor, a well-known pioneer of this county, now residing in the city of Metropolis, in Massac County. Sampson Poor is a native of Tennessee, and came to this State when quite young with his father, traveling hither with a team, their household effects being loaded into a wagon. The grandparents of our subject's husband had but little means with which to enter upon the new life in a comparative wilderness, that was thinly inhabited, and where a great deal of hard labor was required in clearing a farm before they could realize a competence. They were, however, well able to cope with the difficulties incident to pioneer life, and before they passed away had made a comfortable home and had done their full share in developing the county.
The father-in-law of our subject lived in Johnson County for many years, was married here to Sarah Jane Mount, the daughter of a pioneer family of the county of which she is a native, and after marriage he bought an unimproved farm here. He and his wife began life together in a cabin, and he devoted his energies to clearing his land, and in time made a fine farm of it. He and his helpmate also had to encounter the hardships of frontier life, and only through sacrifice and persistent industry carried out their plans, and in time had one of the best farms in the neighborhood. They continued to occupy it until 1886, when they removed to Metropolis, where they are spending their declining years in the enjoyment of the fruits of their early labors. They were the parents of ten children, as here recorded: Sarah Jane, wife of W. J. Fern, of Tunnel Hill Township; Jasper Newton, our subject's husband; Sydney Isabel, wife of Lewis H. Frizzell, of Vienna; George Washington, who died in 1887; Mary, wife of Pleasant Burris, of New Grantsburg; Elizabeth Alice, wife of L. G. Simmons, of Metropolis; Benjamin Franklin, who died in 1868; Dora Ann and Cora Ann, who died in 1873; and India M., who died in 1877.
Jasper N. Poor was the second child born to his parents. He was brought up on a farm, and besides doing what work was required of him as of all farmers' boys when not in school, he tended a general merchandise store, of which his father was proprietor. He had a natural talent for business, and this early experience, seconded by sound instructions in the principles of business and finance at the Evansville Business College, of which he was a graduate, gave him superior advantages and made him one of the leaders in commercial enterprises in his native county. He lived with his parents until he was twenty-four years old, and then came to Vienna to engage in the mercantile business, associating himself with C. Colin for the ensuing four years. At the end of that time, in 1884, he entered upon his career as a banker, establishing the Bank of Vienna, which, in the few short years that it was under his control, rose to lie one of the first moneyed institutions in this part of southern Illinois. He acquired an enviable reputation as a financier, whose keen insight into money matters seldom found him at fault in making investments, while he combined a progressive policy with cautious methods in the management of his bank. He was the soul of honor and integrity, and honest purpose characterized all his dealings. He met his obligations promptly, and his patrons, many of whom had known him from childhood, trusted liim implicitly, and their confidence was never betrayed. He was absorbed in his business and avoided civic life, although he was thoroughly public-spirited and was prominent and influential in furthering the progress of the village and county. While he was yet in the full Hush and vigor of a noble manhood, when life was at its brightest and all things seemed well with him, and a happy home and loving wife and children and many friends added to the charm of living, death came to him, and January 25, 1890, his hands and brain were stilled from their labors, and his eyes closed in the sleep that knows no waking this side of eternity.

The TOEFL iBT test assesses your ability to use and comprehend English at the university level. And it also measures your capability to integrate listening, reading, speaking and writing skills to perform academic tasks.
Over 30 million people from all over the world have taken the TOEFL® test to show their English-language proficiency. The average English skill level ranges between Intermediate and Advanced.
The TOEFL test has the availability of the maximum number of test dates and locations compared to tests conducted by other international language testing systems - over 50 per year. Your score is valid for 2 years from the date on which you take the test. You can reattempt the test as many times as you wish, but you cannot take it more than once in a 12-day period. If you have an existing appointment for a test, you cannot change the appointment or register for another one within 12 days of your current appointment.

The TOEFL iBT® test is an English test administered via the Internet. There are four sections (listening, reading, speaking, and writing) which take a total of about four and a half hours to complete, including check-in.
Since the test is integrated, you are required to perform tasks that combine more than one skill, such as:
|60–80 minutes
|36–56 questions
|Read 3 or 4 passages from academic texts and answer questions.
|60–90 minutes
|34–51 questions
|Listen to lectures, classroom discussions and conversations, then answer questions.

|20 minutes
|6 tasks

|50 minutes
|2 tasks
|Write essay responses based on reading and listening tasks;support an opinion in writing.
Some tests have extra questions in the Reading or Listening section that are not scored. These are either questions that facilitate ETS to make test scores comparable across administrations or new questions that help ETS decide how such questions function under actual testing conditions.
A Standard English language (QWERTY) computer keyboard is used for the test. It is best advised to practice typing on a QWERTY keyboard before taking the test.
Each of the four TOEFL sections (Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing) are scored out of 30. The composite (or overall) TOEFL score will range from 0 to 120 and is calculated by combining the TOEFL scores on each of the four sections. The TOEFL ibt is rated by both automated and human scores.
|Score Range
|0 - 30
|High (22-30) Intermediate (15-21) Low (0-14)
|0 - 30
|High (22-30) Intermediate (15-21) Low (0-14)

|0 - 30
|Good (24 - 30) Fair (17 - 23) Limited (1 - 16)
The Listening and Speaking sections of the TOEFL iBT test include other native-speaker English accents in addition to accents from North America. You may hear accents from the U.K., New Zealand or Australia. These accents have been included to expose the variety of native English accents you may come across while studying abroad.

The Spirograph I Have Always Wanted including the pens, all of the pieces except 2, paper, the little pins, and everything. AMAZING.
My roommate's girlfriend/our friend Crickett found this and thought of me, so she brought it over to our house, and this morning, I woke up to seeing it on the bathroom counter for ME- something I have always wanted (though I am sure it never occurred to me to ask for it). So nobody could possibly have known that I really wanted a spirograph, including me.

4 Home Updates With The Best Return On Investment
Presented by Murray Lampert Design, Build, Remodel
by Gregg Cantor Resident Expert, Approved Home Pros
President, Murray Lampert Design, Build, Remodel
When remodeling your home, personal enjoyment and improving the quality of life for the family is priceless, but prudent homeowners consider return on investment when establishing a budget. According to HGTV, here are the top four home improvements that deliver the best ROI:
1. Minor Bathroom Remodel
The approximate cost to replace a tub and all the bathroom fixtures is $10,500 and the average return on investment is 102 percent.
2. Landscaping
Including design, the average homeowner spends less than $5,000 to improve curb appeal and pride of ownership. The average return on investment for landscape is 100 percent.
3. Minor Kitchen Remodel
Give your kitchen a fresh new look by painting or refacing cabinets and replacing counter tops with quartz. The average return on investment here is 99 percent.
4. Exterior Improvements
Replace your front door and windows, paint wood trim with a current color, install composite siding or stacked stone and build a pergola. These upgrades average 96 to 104 percent return on investment.
I think your family's well being and enjoyment should weigh into the equation, too. Don't you?

Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland will present the world premiere of new Irish short films at the 2018 Galway Film Fleadh, funded under the agency's Short Stories and Frameworks schemes. Frida Think, Procession, Mary, Q4L (quest for love) and Honest comprise the Short Stories premiering at this year's Fleadh, while The Wiremen, co-funded under RTÉ and Screen Ireland's Frameworks scheme will also be screened alongside the five other titles.
In addition to the world premiere of Screen Ireland's latest slate of new Irish shorts, this year's selection will also include two special short film presentations — the world premieres of Brendan Gleeson's directorial debut, Psychic, and Sean Mullen and Meelis Arulepp's animated short film, The Overcoat.
We are thrilled to showcase the exciting work of these emerging and established filmmakers at this year's Galway Film Fleadh. Short film is an important proving ground in the life of any filmmaker and this year's slate is unique and varied. For this particular iteration of our Short Stories scheme, we set filmmakers the task of creating work that centred on the theme of Idols and we can't wait for audiences to see our filmmakers' visions come to life on the big screen.
It is also incredibly heartening to see that over 60% of the titles from our short film schemes are led by a female director, as Screen Ireland remains committed to developing and supporting female creative filmmaking talent from the early stages.
This year's presentation will also feature a title co-funded by RTÉ and Screen Ireland under our Frameworks animation scheme, and we are also excited to offer Galway audiences the first chance to witness Brendan Gleeson's directorial debut with Psychic, co-funded by Screen Ireland and Sky Arts, as well as Sean Mullen and Meelis Arulepp's beautiful animated short, The Overcoat, which features the voice talents of Cillian Murphy.
Emma Scott, Production and Distribution Manager – Screen Ireland
About the short films:
Frida Think tells the story of a woman who walks into a party dressed as Frida Kahlo, only to find that her version of unique has mass appeal. The film is written and directed by Maya Derrington and produced by Paul Rowley of Still Films.
Procession, is written and directed by Jeda de Brí and produced by Claire McCabe of 925 Productions. The film is set in a bedraggled community of misfits who gather to mourn one of their own, the only way they know — a raucous, elaborately eccentric, brass-band funeral.
Mary centres on Charlie, who, after managing to destroy the town's beloved Virgin Mary statue, does the only thing he can do: frames his older brother. The film is directed by Shaun O'Connor, written by Jonathan Hughes and produced by Sharon Cronin of Character Films.
Q4L (quest for love), is written and directed by Antonia Campbell-Hughes and produced by Ailish Bracken of Against the Grain Films. Quest for Love sees Eve and her son Max move to Paris: but does Eve want motherhood or freedom?
Honest, features a young boy whose confrontation with the Son of God makes him question his faith and helps restore his honesty. The title is written and directed by Matthew Roche and produced by Hazel Cullen of TW Films.
Psychic, which was written by Rory Gleeson, marks the directorial debut of acclaimed Irish actor Brendan Gleeson and stars Domhnall and Brian Gleeson alongside their father. The film tells the story of a charismatic psychic (Brendan Gleeson) who is forced out of retirement by his two manipulative sons (Domhnall and Brian Gleeson) and taken on the road. The last obstacle to gaining a large cult following is a TV show host determined to bring them down. Psychic is a dark and human tale of showmanship, the other world and family.
Psychic is produced by Juliette Bonass and Brendan Gleeson and is co-funded by Screen Ireland and Sky Arts.
The Overcoat, is directed by Sean Mullen and Meelis Arulepp and was written by Hugh O'Conor. The film is a warm and unique Christmas story about an office worker who saves all his money to buy a new coat in time for Christmas, only to have fate take a ghostly hand. The Overcoat also features the voice talents of Cillian Murphy.
The film is an Ireland-Estonia co-production, supported by Screen Ireland, BocPix, The Estonian Film Institute and the Estonian Cultural Endowment Fund. The Overcoat is produced by Jonathan Clarke at Giant Animation and Kristel Tõldsepp at A Film Estonia.
The world premiere of Screen Ireland's 2018 slate of short films will take place on Saturday, 14 July in the Town Hall Theatre at 12pm. For tickets, click here.

The historic RedBud National, held in Buchanan, Michigan, marked the halfway point of the 2016 AMA Pro Motocross Championship. Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing's Zach Osborne had a consistent ride and finished third overall in the 250 class, while teammates Christophe Pourcel and Martin Davalos finished seventh and 12th, respectively, in the 450 and 250 classes. Jason Anderson is still recovering from a broken collarbone and was forced to sit the race out.
Zach Osborne has been putting in some strong motos lately, and didn't let the tough RedBud track change his course on Saturday. After pulling mid-pack starts in both 250 motos he put in work and rocketed his Husqvarna FC 250 toward the front of the pack within a few short laps. His consistent lap times and battle mind set propelled him from 12th to a fifth-place finish in moto one.
His second moto was just as inspiring as he started mid-pack and navigated to third by the ninth lap. He overtook second with two laps to go and didn't look back. Continuing to battle, he got closer to the leader in the final lap with third place directly behind him. He put in a great ride and was only a few short bike lengths behind the win at the finish. The 5-2 finish gave him third overall on the day, and he is currently fifth overall in 250 rider point standings.

A boat comprised of 100% trash set sail on Wednesday, June 8 in Taiwan. Coinciding with World Oceans Day, the vessel dubbed the Polli-Boat is primarily made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), currently the most widely used form of plastic. Polli-Boat hopes to bring awareness to the state of distress for the world's marine life along with reminding people about the importance of recycling and alternative energy options.
Polli-Boat is the creation of Taipei-based Miniwiz Sustainable Energy Development Ltd., a leader in eco-friendly design. Miniwiz works to provide consumers with affordable, green technology that is both stylish and accessible. According to the company's website a green product should be compact, stylish, ingenious and functional. Currently, their most well known product is the HYmini, a "handheld universal device that harnesses renewable wind power / solar power and conventional wall plug power to recharge almost all your 5V digital gadgets." However, Miniwiz is not just a technology based company and Polli-Boat is not their first foray into structural design. The company also designed the centerpiece for the Taipei International Flora Expo, Eco Ark Pavilion. The Pavilion was built of recycled plastic bottles and weighs approximately 50% less than standard buildings, yet has enough strength to withstand fires and other natural disasters.
The prototype vessel stretches 23 feet in length with the main flotation system a network of 804 Polli-Bricks (hence the boat's name). Polli-Bricks' large air pockets provide substantial flotation for the main hull and outer tubes, while the hexagonal shape allow bricks to lock together forming a tight bond that can withstand waves.
Innovative design of the trimaran (meaning the boat has three hulls) is not limited to recycled PET. Polli-Boat replaces traditional top decking material, Fiber-Reinforce Plastic (FRP), with eco-friendly wood-plastic composite known as WPC. Unlike FRP, which is non-recyclable and release toxins during manufacturing, WPC uses entirely recycled materials such as sawdust and recycled plastic. The composite material is moisture resistant, providing good traction for the boat's deck. WPC is also very durable, will not rot, will not suffer UV damage and requires no staining, painting or pressure treatments.
A sailboat is not complete without a sail. Polli-Boat keeps to the recycling premise by choosing old advertising banners. Founder and Managing Director of Miniwiz Sustainable Energy Development Ltd., Arthur Huang said the boat is propelled only by renewable resources such as wind power and solar power. But, wind cannot always be guaranteed. For those times the trimaran relies on six modules of soft solar panels with each panel having the capacity to generate 72 watts to the boat's electric motor.
Polli-Boat's design based on the concept of "reduce, reuse, recycle," makes the vessel the first trimaran of its kind. The finished prototype was entered into a National Geographic in Taiwan World Oceans Day event. Over 200 boats, all made of recycled materials, entered the competition with only ten chosen. Other entry designs focused on causes such as endangered animals, protecting the wetlands and the increasing rise in water levels.
World Oceans Day events are over, but Polli-Boat's use is far from finished. The boat will sail through the waters of Taiwan providing continued educational purposes.

This is the best-pressed powder out there!!! This has been a long time favorite of mine, I think I have been using this for about 5 years now and have never had an issue. This powder has a great amount of coverage and a little goes a long way. I love how matte this powder makes my skin look and its a wonderful formula. My favorite way to apply this pressed powder is with a dense powder brush or a sponge.
This powder works well applied with a brush, a sponge or a powder puff, a very versatile product. It comes with a sponge int he bottom and a mirror which makes it ideal for travel and putting in your handbag. The packaging is super sturdy which I really appreciate because I have had so many powders shatter in my bag but this one is very well protected and I haven't had on break yet and hopefully never will.
This powder is super affordable aswell which is even better! Its usually about $13 and is available in many stores including large retail chains and chemists. The formula is also vegan-friendly and cruelty-free which is great and is oil free so its perfect for people with oily or sensitive skin. Hope you try this out and love it as much as me!

I have a fair amount of writing projects on my plate. I've alluded to them here and on social media, and, to put it plainly, I'm essentially obsessed with writing books right now. I'll talk more about the individual projects over the next couple of months, but I thought that today I'd show you a behind-the-scenes look at what writing a book is like for me. Hopefully this will help you on your own writing endeavors or at least gain a little context for what I mean when I talk about writing.
For me, there are two key elements to writing a book: outlining and just gluing my butt to a chair to make myself write. Of course, I mean that figuratively, but you get what I mean. As Ernest Hemingway said, "There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed." The point is you sit down to write and just pour your heart and soul out into words that will eventually need to be cut out until you write the gold that you are capable.
I like to write in natural light, at a table, and with headphones in. I focus best outside of my house, usually at a coffee shop of some kind. If I can, I turn off my internet access and my phone so that I don't have distractions. As much as I love writing, and as much as it is a part of me and my identity, it can be so difficult to focus on at times. But I can't only write when I feel particularly inspired, as then I would hardly write. I know that I just need to get out the words, even if they're awful, especially if they're awful. Later, I'll need to go through it multiple times to clear out the bad and to rewrite over and over again until I'm close to happy with what I have.
If you're thinking of writing a book, I absolutely advise it. But be forewarned – it isn't easy. Writing a book is pouring your soul into something and disliking it almost immediately. Writing a book is working hard on something on the off chance that it turns out okay. Writing a book is stumbling over words and phrases and ideas, picking through them one by one, reorganizing them over and over, and then hoping that others don't hate it. But it's so worth it.

The chances are that one day you're going to have to find yourself a lawyer to help you. What can you do to get one that works for you? What do you expect from lawyer-client relationships? The purpose of this article is to help you decide how to pick a lawyer who is the right fit for your case.
Do not go with the first lawyer you happen to find in the phone book or on the web. But you should seek out a lawyer carefully. If you are interested in a particular lawyer, see if you can find personal references.
A good tip when thinking about hiring a lawyer is to make sure you can always reach him or her. One common complaint people have is being unable to get in touch with their lawyer. You want to avoid being left wondering what's going just because he is out playing golf.
Everything you tell your lawyer will remain confidential. So if you tell them you're guilty, your company's secret recipe or your wife's age, they can't tell a soul.
Never pick the first lawyer you find in the phone book. It is hugely important to research your choices to ensure you get the best. You might get some bad surprises if you base your choice only on a recommendation from someone you know. Be very cautious.
Use referral services to find a lawyer. A lot of times these services will help cut out a lot of the bad ones. They carefully screen according to qualifications and credentials. Some use state bar standard to determine whether lawyers are adequate. Research the referral service's own standards in advance.
Before your lawyer starts work on your case, have them draw up a fee agreement and sign it. This way you won't need to stress about the cost involved. Further, your finances will be more predictable.
When you are looking for a lawyer, make sure that they specialize in the type of case you are seeking. You can find a lawyer for just about any specialty. Some examples are estate law, criminal law and more. You can save time by figuring this out right away.
Many lawyers are too busy with other cases to give your case the time it needs. Inquire if they can take on your case with what is on their plate already. Lawyers are generally honest about whether they have time to properly try your case.
Be realistic and understand that there is only so much that a lawyer can do for you. If you see a lawyer talk about how he is certain to win your case, it is likely that he is a liar and you should avoid him. With court battles, nothing is a given, so try to avoid lawyers who say this.
You will be well-prepared if you know what to find in a good lawyer and if you understand what the attorney-client relationship can give you. Legal issues are extremely frightening to deal with. However, after reading the tips above, you should find yourself ready and able to find the lawyer who is right for you.

I've been recruiting ESL teachers for nearly 15 years. Over the last decade and a half I have looked at tens of thousands of resumes and helped many thousands of individuals find work teaching English abroad. I have also come to the conclusion that most individuals seeking work as ESL teachers, or seeking work in general, have no idea how or even why to write a resume.
Recently I had the good fortune to be selected by Anhui Television to be featured on a program called "Experience Anhui". This program is shown on their international channel and its focus is about the lives of foreigners living and working in Anhui. The TV crew spent 3 days following me around the city and the college. To be frank, I was rather exhausted when all was said and done.
Last weekend I had a very meaningful experience. Because of the Chinese Qing Min Jie (Tomb Sweeping Festival – a time when people remember their ancestors by returning to their tombs) observation, my school had a three day weekend. I decided to take opportunity to travel to Shanghai for a mini vacation.
Notes from China
I have now been teaching oral English at the same Chinese University for 7 years. As a teacher my goal is to simply help the students gain both competency and confidence as English speakers. Over the years I have learned time and again that to achieve this goal, I must help the students create a positive atmosphere that promotes cooperation in the classroom.
As a part of my job I regularly give talks to groups of local TESL/TEFL/TESOL/CELTA students who are finishing their TESL courses. I get invited by local TESL schools local colleges with TESL programs to talk about international employment opportunities for TESL graduates.
Traffic In Anqing
It is not unusual for immigrants in Canada to do their utmost to try and maintain parts of their cultural heritage and the Chinese community in Canada would certainly be a good example of this. For instance, many of them celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year with great gusto allowing Canadians of all backgrounds to enjoy the festival as well.
Top Ten Reasons to Teach Overseas
When I am living in China, Chinese people frequently wonder if I now consider my home to be China. When I am in America, my American family and friends frequently wonder which country I consider as my home. For years I struggled with these two questions. To choose a country would make my listener either very happy or very disappointed.
I just wanted to thank you for your amazing website.
I got an email from an employer in China,and after a Skype interview I got the job, and am flying to China in couple of days.
Thank you so much for all your time and energy.

Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao has urged the country's communist party members to rid the nation of corruption. Mr. Wen used his National Day address Thursday to call for a more intense fight against graft, saying those found guilty of corruption should be punished severely.
Mr. Wen also reaffirmed the government's commitment to economic reform, saying it must remain a priority for China. He called for more socialist democracy and expansion of the rule of law in the country.
The prime minister also vowed to continue opposing what he called the "separatist forces" in Taiwan. China considers Taiwan a renegade province, and has threatened to seize the island by force if it makes moves toward independence.

The Countdown Begins
After a lengthy build-up, 2017 will be the year that construction activity really begins to crank up on the site of Expo 2020 Dubai. But are they cutting it a bit fine?
Preparations for what is likely to be the biggest event ever hosted in the Gulf region are gathering pace following the news that the bulk of construction contracts for the site are set to be awarded this year.
The organisers of Expo 2020 Dubai announced last month they will hand out 47 construction contracts worth a huge AED 11bn ($3bn) over the course of 2017. At the same time it was revealed that just before the turn of the year an Orascom-Besix joint venture had bagged a major contract to carry out deep infrastructure work at the Expo site in Dubai South.
Additional construction contracts to be awarded this year include the third and final infrastructure package for the events support areas, including car parking. Other key awards include the contracts to build the three thematic districts that will host the majority of the pavilions, as well as the public areas and the design, development and delivery of all temporary architecture and infrastructure required to stage the event.
We are committed to working with leading businesses from across the world in order to deliver an exceptional event of this scale, on time and on budget, Her Excellency Reem Al Hashimy, UAE Minister of State for International Cooperation and Director General, Dubai Expo 2020 Bureau, said in February.
This is particularly true when it comes to the development of the physical site, which will live on long beyond 2021 to become an anchor for the UAEs developing knowledge economy in Dubai South.
Once complete, the Expo site will cover 4.38 km2 and host up to 300,000 people a day during the six months of the event which runs from October 2020 until April 2021.
Ahmed Al Khatib, Vice President of Real Estate & Delivery, Expo 2020 Dubai, said: While 2016 was an important year for design, 2017 is when the momentum of construction will really build, ahead of international participants beginning work on their pavilions in 2018.
He added: These important contracts will help us meet our target of completing the majority of construction with a year to go before Expo 2020 Dubai opens its doors in October 2020, providing the opportunity for all-important readiness testing.
Early works on site are now complete, with more than 4.7 million cubic metres of earth moved – enough to fill about 1,800 Olympic sized swimming pools. The first infrastructure contract, covering the deep infrastructure of the non-gated Expo area, including the Expo Village, was awarded to Tristar Engineering and Construction in July 2016 and is due to be completed by April 2018. The aim is to have the site ready for participants to begin work on their respective pavilions by that date.
A challenging timeline
All infrastructure work is due to be complete by October 2019, exactly one year before the six-month event kicks off. But with many of the major contracts still to be awarded, is the government going to achieve its aim of having everything ready by then?
They are cutting it all a bit fine, says David Clifton, Regional Development Director. I can understand the logic of delaying until the latest possible moment as this will delay the high OpEx costs associated with keeping the Expo site running at the level required. I would suspect that the drop dead date to have the site complete will be six months prior to the commencement date in October 2020 to allow successful ORAT (Operational Readiness and Transfer) to the operations team.
However, a recent study by MEED indicates that the average contract build time in the UAE is 36 months but the average build time is between 48-50 months dependent on asset type. This would suggest that the true critical path has passed. There are concerns subsequently that the delivery could be late.
He added: Thats not to say the completion cant meet the schedule, but the probability is that a 24/7 working pattern will end up occurring on larger contracts, which would end up adding additional costs to the delivery programme. Companies will need to fast track projects in the main. Some packages will be easy to achieve, but larger and more complex packages will need to be accelerated.
Clifton details a number of key challenges involved in fast tracking projects to get the site ready in time.
Time with a tightening timeline, certain programmes are likely to shift towards 24/7 construction.
Supply Chain Since so many packages will be running concurrently, suppliers may well be constrained in terms of delivery. Since the global financial crisis when organisations shrunk considerably, few companies are willing or able to expand quickly to fulfil what is a short term project. Without a guaranteed, sustainable pipeline of work to maintain a larger organisation, most wont expand. This means that there could well be a competition for short term resource at the project peak load in 2018/19
Costs Inflation will occur due to constrained short term capacity in the supply chain. Couple that with the introduction of VAT in 2018 in the UAE and we forecast that inflation will be 3 percent in the industry this year and up to 6 percent in 2018.
Overarching Manpower Has the main contractor got the available manpower in the short term to shift to a 24/7 operation if required? Noting that few wish to expand quickly for a short term scheme, contractor capacity in 2018 must be of concern for the delivery programme.

A group of ten UTS Sport and Exercise students accompanied by lecturer, Nathan Renwick, have just completed a three week trip to the Maldives where they taught soccer and netball clinics and ran swimming classes and sports injury workshops. A wonderful time was had by all and below is an earlier update from the trip from student Melanie Boudib. More to follow once the team is back.
"Our travels began with 3 plane rides and a bus ride to our guesthouse, and after flying in at night, we are not at all prepared for what treasures lay before us on this island.
The 4.30am call to prayer wakes us from our air-conditioned slumbers, and marks the beginning of another day on an island full of colourful buildings and even more colourful locals, surrounded by impossibly blue waters . After months of anticipation, a week of frenzied packing, and a long 24 hours of travel, we are finally here.
Our first few days are full of exploring, and before we have even started teaching we've already toured the island with our gorgeous and hilarious in-country partner Suna and her husband Misbah, who is a never-ending fount of local knowledge and adventures. Then, of course, there is Bonda…Maldivian soccer star and the one who has consistently cracked us up with his quiet jokes and constant "Aahaaa"s. We've also played a soccer match in the local stadium, spent hours snorkelling the amazing reefs, visited the school we'll be running sports camps and health workshops in for the next 3 weeks, launched ourselves into the stretch of ocean we'll be teaching swimming in, and had numerous bike malfunctions which have just added to the adventure.
On our 3rd day it feels like we've known each other forever, and it's finally time to start running the sports sessions. The kids are shy to start, but by the end of the 3 hours they're running around happily. Despite the heat that sees us Aussies sweating rivers before noon, the soccer and netball stars on the court don't want to stop, which is surely the sign of a morning well spent.
Our health workshops don't start until after the weekend, so we have a nice long break in the middle of the day until swimming coaching starts. These hours are generally wiled away riding bikes, climbing coconut trees, fishing with the 'Captain', or playing ball in our front yard. Then it's back to what I hesitate to call work, wading back in to the water to teach a younger group how to swim. It's surprising to see the varied skill levels of the kids, but by the end of the second day we've found our groove and everyone's having a lot of fun kicking, splashing, and laughing their way through the 2 hour lessons.
The first week here has been a constant adventure. We've played countless sports (a Human Movement student's dream), ridden our bikes til the pedals fell off (literally), and we still have twice as long to go. Every night we exclaim how amazing this place is, and how long it feels like we've already known each other. We can't wait to see what other treasures this island holds, and we've definitely befriended the right people to help us find out.

Overhead Pressing 101 - Mastering The OHP
The overhead press is one of the most valuable movements towards getting your bench up! However there is typically a lot of technique missing here.
Treat the OHP just how you treat the bench. There is really no difference except one you perform lying, the other you perform standing. In terms of activation, it remains the same
Start from the ground up. Screw and spread your feet into the floor. Everything from your feet towards your hips should feel tight and you should feel rooted into the floor
Brace your midsection like you would in any of the other lifts. Breathe below the diaphragm. Lock it in!
Make sure your scapula is retracted in the same fashion it would be with your other standing movements such as the squat or deadlift. This is something that often goes by the wayside in the OHP but is key towards pressing and controlling with your lats.
Bend the bar just like you would benching!
Then of course, make sure you're pressing straight overhead! Don't let the bar get out in front of you. Bar path will make or break your overhead press. The bar needs to remain over your mid-foot as much as possible
‼➡ Those who join our coaching program are going to see and feel the results! Add pounds to your lifts, gain confidence, excel in meets, and lift pain free. Link below to schedule a free consult today via text or email!

Hello everyone, I hope all is well with you and your families. Okay so on Friday I went to the doctor's office; they were going to do a Pulmonary Hypertension function test, and a X-ray of my lungs. Talking about taking for ever, It was almost unbearable. Keeping my arms in certain positions while in this tubular structure, and not being able to move for long periods of time; okay maybe it was like 7 to 10 minutes during each test. But it seem like a lifetime, I kid you not.
When all of the test were over, I proceeded to the next room to do the X-ray. After completing the X-ray, they had me sit in the waiting room until I heard from the Tech. He was going to let me know if I should proceed over to the emergency room or let me know it was okay to go home. Well as luck would have it, I was escorted over to the emergency room. Sometimes I think If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all. I am freaked out, OMG! I have a blood clot! I am scared, shaking, and on the verge of crying. "Why me Lord? I said. "Could any thing else happen?
I get checked into the emergency room, room #29. EKG's, Urine samples, and another CT Scan, only this time with the Contrast. I wait for hours, I am hungry because at this time it's about 7pm; the only thing I had was a sausage sandwich and juice at 10am. I am grumpy, angry, scared, cold, and my body is sore from that wonderful bed in the hospital.
A special dye called a contrast material is needed for some CT scans, to help highlight the areas of your body being examined. The contrast material blocks X-rays and appears white on images, which can help emphasize blood vessels, intestines or other structures. Contrast material might be given to you by mouth or veins.
Good news at last, although it's 10pm, I can go home, no blood clot, kidneys and everything seem to be functioning well. I tell you, I cannot move fast enough to get out of that hospital. Home here I come, yeah baby.
That's it for now my friends, I believe I can honestly say "I love you" thanks for hearing me out, your precious time. Take care of yourself, and make sure you tell your loved ones how much you love them. Love melts the heart. "I love you Mom (Florence)" It would be mom's birthday today. Be kind to one another!

Helps to noticeably improve joint comfort and range of motion in as little as two weeks.
Pain in or around the knee is a symptom of many probable sources such as torn cartilage or arthritis.
Damage or irritation of tendons and muscles in the shoulder can be caused by overuse, trauma, or aging.
A common cause of elbow discomfort known as "tennis elbow" is an irritation of the tissue connecting muscle to the elbow.
"Five years ago my regular doctor sent me to the best arthritis specialist in the city. He informed me that there was nothing he could do and I wouldn't be walking within a year. While looking through a magazine, I saw an ad for Arthro-7. I ordered some and I now golf twice a week."
Stanley R.
Count your steps and watch your form, because joint pain isn't a concern.
Stretch your legs and swing with confidence, you're going to race to the last hole.
Sure they're fast, but wait them out and kneel down and give them a hug with confidence.
Joint pain can be just mildly irritating, but it can also be downright debilitating. Acute pain may pass as soon as a few weeks later. Chronic pain will linger for weeks or months, even short-term pain from swelling in the joints can cause issues in your quality of life.
Arthro-7 was designed to improve your mobility and quality of life as whole. Designed from the ground up to be made from natural ingredients such as Collagen from chicken, Turmeric which contains Curcumin, and Pineapple which contains Bromelain. The ingredients work together to help increase recovery time, and help mend torn or damaged tissue which can cause acute and chronic pain.
Aging and the lower Collagen levels and joint deterioration that come with it aren't the only forms of benefit that Arthro-7 offers. Several studies showed powerful evidence that collagen supplements and Arthro-7 increased collagen in the surrounding joint tissues and is even shown to decrease the symptoms of joint degenerative disease such as osteoarthritis.
It is the substance that holds the body together. Collagen forms a scaffold to provide strength and structure. Endogenous collagen is natural collagen, synthesized by the body. Exogenous collagen is synthetic. It comes from an outside source, such as supplements.
Curcumin is the active ingredient in turmeric, and it has powerful biological properties. Ayurvedic medicine, a traditional Indian system of treatment, recommends turmeric for a variety of health conditions. These include chronic pain and inflammation.
Like many other enzymes, lipase is produced naturally by the body. When you eat foods with fat content, the fat can't be absorbed by the body in its original form. Lipase has the crucial function of breaking fats down into fatty acids and glycerol, which our body is able to distribute via blood flow.
Is a protein-digesting enzyme mixture derived from the stem, fruit, and juice of the pineapple plant. It has a centuries-long history of being used to treat medical ailments, primarily throughout Central and South America.
This natural form of organic sulfur is found throughout the body and key to healthy collagen. It also breakup unhealthy calcium deposits.
Is an essential nutrient involved in the repair of tissue and the enzymatic production of certain neurotransmitters. Daily consumption is required to maintain and promote a healthy immune system.
Cetylated fatty acids are a group of naturally occurring fats. A unique fatty acid referred to as the WD-40 of joint lubrication to relieve and lubricate the joints.
"I've been taking it for between 12 and 15 years...and it's stopped the joints from feeling uncomfortable. Friends all say, 'When are you going to stay home?' And I say, 'Well, when I'm too old to walk, I guess.' Don't take Arthro-7 away from me. I need this!"
"As a former college and pro football player, my knees took a beating. I used glucosamine and chondroitin, I used shark cartilage - it wasn't what I was looking for. I needed something more and Arthro-7 has definitely helped to alleviate my discomfort."
"I saw almost immediate effects, and the fact that I could walk normally and was not experiencing the kind of discomfort that I had experienced was very exciting. I love Arthro-7 and I have recommended it to several friends of mine and I would recommend it to anyone. Arthro-7 has changed my life!"
One study that focused on joint pain among athletes, showed that after 24 weeks of use collagen supplements and Arthro- 7 helped to reduce joint pain in even the most rigorous of training programs. If you experience relief from your joint pain symptoms it is highly recommended that you improve your physical activity level, which will help improve overall health.
For almost 50 years Dr Hahn and his team have been at the forefront of virtually every aspect of joint health, research, and treatment — from surgery to drugs — to natural solutions too. But it's what Dr. Hahn was able to achieve over that time with Arthro-7 that gave him the title of "America's Joint Doctor".
He and a team of doctors, nutritionists and food scientists were able to take everyday joint sufferers and quickly get them active and mobile, without the aches and discomforts, and keep them that way — often for 15, 20 years or more.
They developed the first and only real long-term solution to joint health and wellness — a natural dietary solution that works without the drugs or surgery.

What is Arthro-7?
Arthro-7 is a doctor-developed and clinically proven joint-health formula that nourishes and feeds the correct food your joints need. It's a perfect balance of 7 top joint-nourishing nutrients that was clinically shown to start improving both joint comfort and mobility in just 2 weeks. Arthro-7 helps support your joints health, flexibility, and lubrication, while naturally reducing joint aches and discomforts.
Do I need to take Arthro-7 with food?
No, Arthro-7 can be taken with or without food.
Can I take Arthro-7 with other supplements?
Arthro-7 has no known interactions with other supplements.
Will Arthro-7 conflict with my medication?
Although there are no known reported conflicts from taking Arthro-7, as with any dietary ingredient, it is always suggested you seek advice from a health care professional prior to taking any new supplement.
Do I have to alter my lifestyle?
Healthy habits such as healthy diet, daily exercise, and targeted nutritional supplementation all support joint health; however, in clinical test, Arthro-7 was effective in supporting joint comfort without these lifestyle changes.
How fast will Arthro-7 work for me?
Based on the results of our clinical study and other user experiences, you may begin to notice joint comfort and mobility with in the first 2 weeks. However, the clinical study showed continued improved results for users over the full 12-week period. The benefits of Arthro-7 add-up over time, with many Arthro-7 users reporting sustained results for 10 years or more. Individual results may vary.
Is Arthro-7 safe to take daily?
Yes, Arthro-7 is designed for daily joint-nourishment. We recommend that for continued nourishment and support for your joints, you take daily as recommended.
How do I take Arthro-7?
After a 2 week "loading-phase" in your first month of use (where you take 2 capsules twice a day), you simply take 2 capsules once a day after that. You can take it any time, with or without food.
I'm confused about the instructions and what the "loading phase" is.
For customers who are taking Arthro-7 for the first time, the loading phase is meant to give you the maximum benefits and help your body needs to get used to taking Arthro-7. What this means is that you take 2 capsules twice a day for the first 2 weeks, then cut back to 2 capsules daily for regular day-to-day use.
Do I need to do the "loading phase" more than once?
No, the loading phase is recommended for the first-time users who are just beginning to take Arthro-7. Once you've completed the loading phase, a single serving of 2 capsules daily is suggested. However, if you stop taking athro7 for a month or more, we recommend you start with a 2-week loading phase again.
What happens if I discontinue Arthro-7?
It is best to include Arthro-7 as a part of long-term health program. We recommend taking Arthro-7 on daily bases to support healthy joints.
Should I stop taking Arthro-7 if I notice improvements?
No, Arthro-7 is designed for daily nourishment. We recommend that for the continued nourishment and support for your joints, you take 2 capsules daily as recommended. If you have any concerns about the continued, long-term uses of Arthro-7, we suggest that you consult a health care professional.
How is Arthro-7 different from other joint products available on the market?
Arthro-7 is clinically tested joint support formula that has sold over 8 million bottles.
Are there side effects or risks associated, any reactions to medication?
Arthro-7 is made from ingredients that are deemed safe. But, as with any supplements, you should consult your healthcare practitioner before taking this product especially if you are pregnant, lactating, taking any medications, have food allergies, or if you have any medical conditions.
Where is Arthro-7 made?
Arthro-7 is manufactured in the United States in an FDA-approved manufacturing facility located in Southern California. This facility adheres to the current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) guidelines that monitor quality control.
How long has Arthro-7 been around?
The Arthro-7 formula has been a proven leader in the joint supplement industry for over 15 years, with over 8 million units sold!
Why is Arthro-7 called "joint food"?
Arthro-7 is a comprehensive formula of 7 well-studied joint ingredients that work together in powerful synergy to provide critical nourishment, "Joint Food" for your cartilage and joints. The key to the Arthro-7 "Joint Food" formula is that each joint nourishing ingredient comes in its more natural or whole state, with supportive enzymes, so your joints and body can more fully absorb and use them.
Is Arthro-7 clinically tested? Has a clinical study been conducted on Arthro-7?
Yes, Arthro-7 was clinically tested in a landmark 12-week study, with users reporting significant improvements in joint comfort and joint mobility within just the first 2 weeks.

EICRs and electrical inspection reports near you in Sheerwater (KT16)
Do you need an EICR certificate? EICR reports (Electrical Installation Condition Reports), formerly called Periodic Inspection Reports are recognised certificates that are drawn up after a registered electrician has thoroughly tested the electrical system. EICRs are required for domestic, commercial and industrial buildings, with different requirements.
EICRs are also recommended before buying a new home and for landlords and rental properties. During EICRs, we will carry out a thorough test of all the fixed wire circuits, including RCD tests, insulation resistance and polarity.
We also complete thorough visual checks to assess for signs of wear and tear. Damaged electrical fittings and accessories will be identified and reported. If anything dangerous or hazardous is found, then the installation will be declared as 'unsatisfactory'. This means remedial work is required to remove the risks to the premises and we are always happy to quote to do this work. Read our blog about electrical safety in old properties.
We can offer you free advice and no-obligation quotes at any time. We keep our prices very low and competitive our EICRs start from just £190.
Ottershaw commercial condition reports
All electrical installations are not immune to aging and will degrade over time. As part of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, employers need ensure their staff and visitors are protected against the risk of electrical faults.
Insurance companies request proof of EICRs to ensure premises meet current regulations. How often to have an EICR will normally be between every year and every five years, depending on the use of the premises.
We provide commercial condition reports for offices, shops, restaurants, pubs, hotels, clubs, cinemas, theatres, factories and many other properties. We also provide commercial condition reports in Lambeth and Kennington.

Some collect vintage cars. Some collect baseball caps. As for me, I collect memories.
There I've said it. I'm an unabashed sentimentalist. A nostalgia junkie, holding on to forgotten little fragments of time as though they were the Crown Jewels. 'Get rid of this junk', my folks have frostily told me over the years, even as I get moony-eyed every time I see:
- My Prefect Book from Class 6, the year we won the Best House trophy
- 5 (slightly fading, never used) handkerchiefs from a tie-n-dye Craft class
- EVERY single birthday card I've received from the time I was 6.
- A Jethro Tull badge, from the first concert I attended
- The chipped part of my front tooth, from my face-first encounter with a stone bench.
Garden-variety stuff, it may seem. But that's just the top level of the multi-tiered Pandora's box. Burrow a little deeper and here's what you might find.
- A thick file of email printouts, sent by close friends dating back to 1998.
- A stamp collection, foisted on me by relatives in 1979, which hasn't been sorted yet.
- 8 kilos (approx) of 'interesting' news articles, well-written columns, trivia, travel articles etc.,
- A plump bag with brochures and maps from the Greyhound bus-stops on my trip to Canada.
- Leftover paints (still usable) from a college festival in 1993
- A bloated portfolio with every single ad I've created during my 5-year stint in Advertising.
And finally the whopper:
723 books ranging from Brothers Grimm to J. K. Rowling, Hemingway to Rushdie. Plus (pause for breath here) over 300 MAD comics!
(There was also a short-lived collection of clam shells. The shells had beautiful, intricate patterns. But the fetid stench got in the way of misty-eyed moments.)
I've tried on occasion to walk the Buddhist path of detachment. Imagined myself throwing it all away. But knowing me, it would only be an invitation to start all over.
So now I've rationalised that my 'accumulations' might just be THE legacy to hand down to the progeny. In the off chance that I become famous, imagine the killing they could make at the auctions.
