When you are planning on having any type of affair in the outdoors, there are many things that you must consider prior to setting it up. The first and most obvious thing is to check on the weather for the day you are planning. Since adverse weather will put a halt to all of your plans, knowing what is expected for the day is imperative. The other things you need to plan for are the seating and table arrangements and food delivery. However, one other thing that is most important is the bathroom facilities you will have for your guests. Without proper sanitation needs, your party can quickly go from great to a complete bomb.
Renting A Portable Restroom
If the facility where you are planning your party does not have bathroom facilities, you will need to make arrangements with a portable restroom rental Sarasota County Fl. company to bring in these much-needed items. Even if you are having a party at your home, you should consider renting one of these units so that you can reduce the amount of foot traffic in your home all day long. You can find a number of companies on the internet who can provide these for you and the cost will depend on the type of unit you rent from them. Contact several of them in order to get the best deal and information on how many units you will need to have. They have the experience to know the number of units needed because of their past rentals.
Type Of Unit You Need
For the most part, portable bathroom units come with just a toilet inside them. These are the lowest costing units that are available and most people find that this is all they will need. But, in order to give your guests a much more luxurious experience, there are units that include handwashing stations as well inside each of the bathroom stalls. For hygiene reasons, these are probably the best choice for you to make. Otherwise, you will need to have some type of washing facility so that guests can wash their hands. Some units are also available that are decorated so that they do not stand out from the landscape of your yard or the place you are renting. Each upgrade in service that you require will increase the price and you should choose the unit carefully.
Many times, the companies that rent these units will bring them to wherever your party will be the day before the event. Pickup will typically take place the day after. This is so that it is not an inconvenience to you. When planning any outdoor event, remembering that bathroom facilities are one of the most important items can make your party go smoothly. Many of the places you can rent for a party will also have information on companies they have worked with in the past. Contact a company in your area to see what they can offer you. Also ask for any discounts they offer.


text: Philip Report post Posted November 24, 2019 23 hours ago, 7Mo said: Adding info on Robson: Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 30 | Run: 65 | Arm: 45 | Field: 50 | Overall: 40 The Tigers made Robson their eighth-round pick in the 2016 Draft after an injury-plagued career at Mississippi State that included a broken hand as a redshirt junior. Pegged by the organization as a breakout candidate ahead of his first full season, Robson did just that by reaching the Florida State League and finishing third in the system in batting average (.305) and fifth in stolen bases (21). The Ontario native then built upon the performance in 2018, hitting both for average and even some power as he climbed from Double-A to Triple-A. Robson's best tool is his speed and it allows him to be a basestealing threat as well as a defensive asset in the outfield. He has played all three spots thus far, with his best chance to be a regular coming in center or left, where his fringy arm would be acceptable. He has shown a solid approach at the plate and a willingness to draw walks, and he added some power to his game in 2018 with career-high totals in home runs (11) and doubles (29), albeit at the cost of more strikeouts (140). The Tigers continue to stress bunting as a tool to help him let his legs do the talking. Robson profiles best as a fourth outfielder or bench presence, one whose speed can do a lot of things. If he can continue to refine his approach and get on base, he could be a table-setting type at the highest level. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/jacob-robson-615699?stats=career-r-hitting-milb It looks like Robson may have more to offer on the offensive side of the game than first expected, though. Here's what Emily Waldon of The Athletic had to say in her preseason Tigers Top 30 Prospects list: With his defensive instincts already common knowledge, the more refreshing aspect to Robson's season was his deceptive push of raw power. At 5-foot-10, you wouldn't predict that, but his natural eye at the plate complemented the added power on contact. As the numbers referenced earlier would indicate, Robson utilized a newfound power stroke in 2018. If this new facet of his game is for real, that would obviously boost his value immensely. There will always be a place in the game for players with both power and speed. Even if he only makes minimal contact, that combination of attributes makes for a decent bench piece. a look at his batting average on balls in play would indicate that, to a certain extent, Robson was getting lucky in 2018. An normal batting average on balls in play would hover around .300. Speedsters generally are able to pad that number thanks to their ability to beat out throws. Robson's figures, though, were very high. He put up rates of .382 and .406 in 2018. Frankly, those are inflated and unsustainable. As they normalize, the rest of his stats will obviously suffer. To what extent, though, will determine his role. Finally, while his speed makes him an asset on defense, his arm limits his defensive flexibility to center and left. It's far from a death knell as a prospect, and he doesn't profile well in right field offensively anyway, but it does limit his versatility. https://www.blessyouboys.com/2019/1/25/17048116/detroit-tigers-scouting-report-jake-robson-farm-system Isn't another fourth OF the last thing we need? how about a first third baseman/2nd baseman/SS? Having said that, if this guy is better than what we have, sure why not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After reading the comments on my previous column about the shortcomings of Positive Train Control and weatherproofing signal systems, doing further reading and consulting with knowledgable sources, I'll admit that my conclusions drew on a limited understanding of how signal systems work and of the true complexity of what it takes to make them less susceptible to failure in heavy rain and other weather events.
I did not intend for my words to be interpreted as in any way denigrating towards front-line rail infrastructure and signal system designers and maintainers. These individuals' laudable work is constrained by the limited resources granted and priorities assigned by management, whose decisions are in turn shaped by political decisions made by Congress and administrative agencies. It is these higher-level influencers whose focus must adjust if we are to arrive at a more permanent fix for the issues described in my previous column. The design of effective means of managing railroad traffic is always a matter of balancing safety with speed, fluidity and other criteria while giving safety the most weight.
Diagram showing how track circuits detect trains, from the Electric Power Research Institute's 'Power System and Railroad Electromagnetic Compatibility Handbook, Revised First Edition' (Nov. 2006).The signal indications that govern train movement are determined by circuits in the running rails that detect the presence of steel wheels on the rail. One or more of these circuits makes up a block, and the detection of a steel-wheeled vehicle within the block automatically changes signal aspects so as to prevent other vehicles from entering the block — dispatchers do not control this process.
Any time a track circuit is interrupted, the system will act as if that block is occupied and will cause restrictive signals to be displayed so as to prevent the movement of other trains into that block. Unfortunately, the signal system cannot tell the difference between pressure exerted by the wheels of a train and that exerted by water saturating the ballast beneath the rails. Therefore, after a heavy rain on a track section with poor drainage, or during flooding, the system may falsely indicate that a block is occupied.
Lightning can also disrupt track circuits and cause signal failures. Most railroads have installed lightning deflection devices on signal cases or bungalows, but the rails themselves can act as lightning rods, and this is near impossible to mitigate. When a circuit is disrupted, the operating crew of any train passing through the affected block(s) must stop at the signal and receive permission from the dispatcher over the radio to proceed at a restricted speed, generally 15 mph. This is what happened to my westbound Cardinal three weeks ago as it passed through thunderstorms at the north/west end of the New River Gorge.
There are a number of measures that could prevent this type of disruption from happening as often as it does, but they all cost money. Most railroads' management have, for better or for worse, concluded that capital expenditures are more effectively allocated elsewhere. One such measure is improved ballast drainage — ballast will not become oversaturated if rainwater has somewhere else to go downhill. But it is costly to design, operate and maintain effective drainage techniques, as these vary greatly by context, climate and geography. Climate change's effects exacerbate this challenge.
'Rain on the Plains,' taken June 1, 2015; location unspecified. Photo by Flickr.com user railsr4me.The latest advances in track circuit technology, such as mechanically and electronically-coded circuits, help train control systems operate more reliably by allowing track circuit energy to promulgate over a greater distance, thereby minimizing the likelihood that "low ballast" conditions will cause blocks to be falsely shown as occupied. The challenge with broadly implementing these solutions is that they require an entire line, generally an entire subdivison, to be upgraded at the same time. These technologies are being put in place on more lines, but the places where soggy ballast most routinely slows trains down to a crawl are usually those where management has determined that its benefits to operations are overshadowed by its cost.
A third potential solution is to shorten the length of track circuits by installing a 'cut section,' thereby replacing one circuit with two. But this is also costly, as it entails putting in more insulated joints, wires and bungalows. Much of the budget that railroads might have put towards signal upgrades like this, as well as other capital improvements, has instead gone towards installing PTC to comply with the federal mandate.
PTC uses means other than track circuits to locate trains and determine their speed and other characteristics. This groundbreaking innovation could have been implemented as a replacement for legacy signal systems, which would have delivered a number of operational benefits to railroads. Unfortunately, in part owing to the narrow way in which the 2008 law was written, railroads are implementing PTC only as an overlay to their existing signal systems to enforce their most restrictive indications. Therefore, any structural weaknesses impacting the current signal system also underlie PTC.
Holistic thinking needs to be done about the appropriate level of investment and the most effective techniques for allowing railroads to maintain schedules and fluidity in the midst of more frequent storms, floods and other troubles posed by a warming planet and disrupted weather patterns. The challenge will be getting both the public and private-sector actors who have the power to alter the industry's course to come to a constructive agreement that does the utmost to maximize safety without giving short shrift to other measures to help the rail industry thrive and grow, attracting more travelers and shipments off of the highways.

Feel the energy from the sky coming down into your heart on the exhale.
Feel the energy of the earth coming up into your heart with each inhale.
Feel where your body connects to the ground, to Mother Earth.
Notice sensations in the physical body. Listen to the sounds all around: your breath, the breeze, the birds, the people, the lapping lake, the hammer. Listen quietly, attentively.
Send gratitude and love to Mother Earth, thanking her for all she has provided us with, each day, each night, each season — without fail.
In the Mayan Calendar, the Trecena of Ix begins on Tuesday, September 1O.
This two-week period is all about our connection to Mother Earth and the magical soul of nature. It is a time to ask ourselves how we can connect more fully with nature and help sustain our planet.
According the Mayan Calendar Portal:
Ix embodies the very soul of Nature and the spirit, energy, force, and vitality of life and all living things. The nagual of Nature and Mayan altars, it symbolizes the sacred energy pulsing through running water such as streams and brooks, and the protective energy of places like plains, hills, and mountains.
Feline and feminine in nature, Ix represents innate intuition, curiosity, and the creative forces of the universe; in fact, this is the day sign that grants the spiritual and psychological strength to reach the highest levels of consciousness, which underpins mysticism and divination. It also rules the seven human sins—from the Maya point of view: pride, ambition, envy, lies, crime, ingratitude, and ignorance through laziness. The animal totem of Ix is the jaguar.
-Excerpt from The Serpent and the Jaguar: Living in Sacred Time by Birgitte Rasine, pp.134-135.
Ix pertains to our connection to sacred sites, the old places that deepen our connection to Mother Earth. It empowers our own personal magic to come through in our thoughts, words and actions.
By finding our inner jaguar through quiet and solitude in nature, we can connect with our intuition and innate creativity. This is a time to give thanks for all we've received from Mother Earth, the food, the water, the shelter and so much more. It's a time to give back by planting a tree, picking up litter or otherwise showing gratitude and care for our planet and all her habitats.
"Of all the signs, Ix expands the mind the most, providing the strength to reach the highest level of consciousness. This strength, combined with mental acuity, benefits the highest levels of mysticism… This day has a special power to change negative aspects. It is a day on which to withdraw, meditate, and reconsider life, to formulate a new strategy, and to solve problems. It is also a good day for inner strength and for magic and handling occult forces." – Carlos Barrios, Book of Destiny

You are here
The Fashionable Thing
Neil Leadbeater
The most important question sociologists are asking these days is "where were you when company X launched the i-phone?"
"Oh, I was halfway between Queen Street and Wellington Square when the red ribbon snapped and the crowd surged forward in a sea of expectancy…" somebody said.
"Yes, but where were YOU?"
"I was in a dilemma."
"I was over the moon."
"I was off-limits."
The answers came flying back in a virtual continuum.
"And what were you wearing?"
"A smile."
"Dolce and Gabbana."
"Were you aware that this was going to be an historic moment?"
"Oh, yes, definitely. A defining moment. Although it was only later that I learned that universities had re-shaped the curriculum to coincide with events: European History from 1650 until the time when company X launched the i-phone; Language and the i-phone; The Politics of the i-phone; Economics after the i-phone.
Life changed that day. The sociologists say so. Everyone remembers what they were doing They all know what they were wearing. Now we divide every aspect of our lives into the time before and the time after THE BIG EVENT. Even the mannequins (who were not wearing anything) walked out of the shop fronts and wiped the smile from their faces. Yes, they acquired a life of their own because everyone else was giving theirs up in order to buy the i-phone. Conversation died that day. The quiet contemplation of nature slipped by unnoticed.
"Who were YOU with that day?"
"Mary Quant, Vivienne Westwood and Yves St Laurent (metaphorically speaking)."
"What were YOU doing that day?"
"I was going for a job interview. I wore a mini in midnight blue and spent most of the interview crossing and uncrossing my legs. It was the best dialogue on offer and they bought it wholesale as they always do. They gave me the job."
"What were you driving?"
"A hard bargain."
What did you say to the interviewer?"
"I said I know how to use the i-phone…would you like to see my i-phone?…He really liked it."
Face-to-face contact lost its connectedness that day. Reactions to sights and sounds were nullified. The wider wonder of the outside world shrank to the counterpane and the art of living was reduced to a few digital routine manoeuvres, heads bowed down in subservience to that all-important phone…
"What did you have in your handbag?"
"Estée Lauder"
"Estée Lauder"
"Estée Lauder"
"And what did you do next?"
"I remember walking into the opticians and asking if I could select a pair of glasses. I had to explain that I didn't want an eye test, that my vision was 20/20. The glasses were just for wearing on top of the head – a sort of fashion statement."
"We get a lot of requests like that," they said. "I take it you just want the frames?"
Now for a moment of reflection.
Our i-phone, which art in our hand, your time has come. Your will be done. Give us this day our connections. Forgive us for not paying attention to anything else when it is now no longer meaningful; lead us not into the temptation of buying the next version and the version after that (whenever that will be) and deliver us from technological failure for this is the only thing that is important to us anymore – the power and the icon. For ever and ever, O.K.
Next month, it will be so last year.

Existential Education
by Donald Cowan - 1981
Peter Abbs, a highly persuasive lecturer in education at Sussex University, has buckled on armor to challenge society-in the United States as well as Britain-through a radical revisioning of the aims of contemporary education. The three books here under review set forth the present state of his challenge: first, a bill of particulars against a civilization dominated by a voracious industry and, second, a proposal for correction through the establishment of a single small college devoted to the formation of teachers capable of raising up a new, truly human, generation.

As defined by the 2018 Constitution, the government of Clan Quest is comprised of three major bodies: The Clan Council, the Guild Councils, and the Honor Councils. A member of the Clan Quest "Government" is any person who serves on one these Councils or their various subgroups in any Guild. Every member of the Clan Government is also considered to be part of the "Membership-at-Large", the official term used to describe the entirety of the Clans membership across all Guilds.
For a full breakdown of the Clan Government, please review the Clan Constitution, as it is the sole document referenced in all official clan business.
Clan Council
Main Article: Clan Council
The Clan Council is the top administrative branch of the Clan that manages the entity of "Clan Quest" as a whole. This includes managing funds, social media accounts, all official Clan Quest websites, communication platforms, branding, and content. Members of the Clan Council are not, necessarily, the leader of any Guild by default. While Clan Councilors lead the Clan as a whole, it is the Guild Council that is ultimately responsible for the leadership of their own individual Guild. Considering each individual Clan Councilor may not play a certain Guilds game, it makes little sense for them to have a say in their day to day activities, but they may still join the Guild Council for a Guild they are part of.
Click here to read about the Clan Council in our Constitution.
Head of Clan Council
The "Head of Clan Council" is elected by the other members of the Clan Council on terms the Clan Council itself is free to determine. Typically, a Head of Clan Council will serve a "life term", meaning that they will hold the position until they resign or are deemed unable to serve by the other members of the Clan Council. Despite what the name might suggest, the Head of Clan Council does not hold any actual power over any other member of the Council, or the Clan. The Head of Clan Council is simply the official mediator between Clan Councilors should any disputes arise, as well as official communicator between the Clan Council and the Membership-at-large.
Joining the Clan Council
All members of the Clan Council are chosen to join the Clan Council by the Clan Council. There are certain requirements that must be met, such as currently serving on a Guild or Honor Council and have been a member of any Guild for more than ninety days. A members dedication, commitment, and loyalty to the Clan as a whole are taken into consideration when selecting a new Clan Councilor.
Guild Council
Main Article: Guild Council
A "Guild Council" is the administrative body of an individual Guild, serving as its de facto leaders and policy makers. How a Guild Council specifically operates is entirely dependent on the policies of that Guild Council; you could have a Guild Council that takes an active role in shaping the path of its Guild, or one that works from behind the scene, content to let the Guild run itself. However it works, a Guild Council, not the Clan Council, is in charge of their own Guild. The Clan Council may, however, request immediate access into a Guild Council, or promote a member to a specific Guild's Council barring any resistance from its current members.
Click here to read about Guild Councils in our Constitution.
Head of Guild Council
The "Head of Guild Council" is the leader of a Guild Council, and must be elected once a year by the members of the Guild Council. Unlike the Head of Clan Council, the Head of a Guild's Council actually has more power than other Guild Councilors. They still serve as the official communicator between the Guild Council and their Guilds members, but they also have the ability to audit all their Guilds funds, to accept or deny a Clan Councilors request for Guild Councilor status, and to determine and change a specific Guilds entry requirements. This is a significant amount of power for one individual to hold, and as such a Head of Guild Council is typically seen as a role model to the clan, and should act accordingly.
Joining a Guild Council
The exact requirements to join a Guild Council are entirely up to each individual Guild's rules set either upon formation or by later policy. The Questing Clan of RuneScape Guild Council, for example, requires possession of an ingame "Quest Cape" to join. However, there are a few basic processes for joining a Guild Council that are universal to all Guilds:
-A majority of active Guild Councilors may vote to promote a member to their ranks.
-If two-thirds of an entire Guild vote to promote a member to the Guild Council, then the Guild Council must comply.
-Clan Councilors may be granted a position in a Guild Council by the Head of Guild Council.
-The Clan Council may choose to promote a member to a Guild's Council, who will then retain that position permanently after three days of being unopposed by the Guilds membership or Council. If a single member of the respective Guild Council challenges the promotion, each member of that Guilds Honor and Guild Councils, as well as the Clan Council, will all collectively vote on the issue, where each individuals vote is equal to one.
Honor Council
Main Article: Honor Council
An Honor Council is the judicial branch of an individual Guild, responsible for mediating disputes between members, impeaching Councilors, pre-reviewing amendments to the official Clan Constitution or any Guild-specific documents, auditing the Clan Government, and deciding whether actions are fair and honorable or not, among other responsibilities listed in the Constitution. The Honor Council has a much more defined role that a Guild Council, but it is ultimately up to them how to handle appeals based on the revised code and the canon of ethics. They possess a lot of power in a Guild, and even across the Clan, and are expected to use their absolute best judgement when using it.
Click here to read about Honor Councils in our Constitution.
Head of Honor Council
The Head of Honor Council is any member of a Guild who has been elected to hold that position by the Membership-at-Large. They are not required to hold any other positions within the clan, they must simply win the largest share of all cast votes within a Guild. There are no requirements for a Head of Honor Council to be reelected, however there are numerous ways in which a Head of Honor Council may lose their position. If the members of the Honor Council determine that the Head of Honor Council is no longer active, they may vote to remove them. Similarly, if a Guild Council believes a Head of Honor Council has become inactive, or any member of the Honor Council for that matter, they may appeal the Clan Council to review the case. If there is no response within forty-eight hours, the Honor Council will be disbanded and a new vote will be held.
One important detail to note is that if a single Honor Council leaves or is removed from the Honor Council, then the entire Honor Council is disbanded and a new vote must occur. There is nothing stopping past members of that Honor Council from running again, but a single Honor Councilor who resigns cannot be replaced, the entire Honor Council must be replaced.
Joining an Honor Council
As stated above, one may become the Head of Honor Council by majority vote by the entire Guild. All other Honor Councilors are then selected by the newly elected Head of Honor Council within seventy-two hours of the election. There may never be more than nine Honor Councilors, including the Head, in any one Guild at any given time, and the number of Honor Councilors in a Guild must always be odd. Should a Guild have more than fifty members, then the Honor Council must never have less than three members.
While the term is not listed in any official documents, the "Emeritus" group is sometimes used in various parts of the Clan Government to mark a member as inactive, or temporarily unavailable. A Councilor is moved to an Emeritus group either by request or by a decision made by the Council in question, usually after the Councilor in question has been inactive or unresponsive for a significant period of time. Any Councilor who is part of an Emeritus group is still considered a member of that Council, and may return to active status if they show a significant understanding of their Guilds current policies. Any Councilor who is on an Emeritus list is not counted when determining the number of Councilors for votes, so if a Council has five "active" members and four "Emeritus" members, then for voting purposes the Council only has five members.

We all agree advancing in life is like climbing a ladder. Problem is, the rungs on that ladder are getting farther and farther apart all the time.
Millennials make 20% less money than baby boomers did for the same work, at the same age. They'll also have to save twice as much for retirement as the previous generation. On top of it all, the cost of a college education has been rising steadily for decades and is now out of reach for many.
And now, that college education doesn't even guarantee a job for a majority of college students — unemployment and underemployment among grads have been rising steadily since about 2001. Underemployment rallied somewhat in 2015, but it still stood at 44.6% among graduates.
Not to get too mushy, but all of these factors combined paint a clear picture: Work life in the US for millennials is of obviously lower quality than it was for their parents' generation, and "getting ahead" is becoming harder.

I've never been very patriotic. I mentioned at the time that I always wanted the England cricket team to triumph, but hey, if they didn't, I'd soon get over it. I could just never buy into the whole pride-in-the-nation thing that so many others obviously could. It wasn't in my makeup.
And then I watched the Olympics on Saturday night, and was truly moved. What an incredible, magical, unforgettable night of sport that was. Call me a great big softie, but I had a tear in my eye when the lovely Jessica Ennis was interviewed after that 800m run that brought the Gold medal in such exhilerating style. I had a lump in my throat as Mo Farah kicked for home at the end of a totally absorbing half an hour of tactical, punishing, rough running to claim his own piece of greatness. And the long jumper? The lad done good.
How refreshing is it though, to see massive achievement from athletes that come across as being "normal" people? Compare with so many Premiership footballers, obsessed only with how much they can earn, with what they drive, and who treat others - not least their employers - with so little respect. I don't remember seeing any Olympic athlete interviewed after winning a medal, coming across as being as egocentric or arrogant or plain nasty as so many in the England football team. The athletes simply come across as normal people, revelling in their fortune in having been born with a God-given talent, and who have worked so bloody hard to make as much of that talent as they possibly could.
Farah and Ennis - true representatives of our country. Two people taken to the country's heart. One of mixed heritage and the other an asylum seeking immigrant from Somalia. THAT is what finally, after 41 years, made me feel truly proud to be British. It was with that thought, when the Union Jack was hoisted after Ennis had been given her gold medal, when the majority of the 80,000 in the stadium had belted out the national anthem with exquisite passion, that made me think that this country isn't all bad after all. It has it's issues - let's face it, it's only a year on from the worst riots seen for many years that left the national mood somewhat different to how it is now - but it has it's good points too.
Isn't sport a magical thing?
Weekend's Betting
Well so far this month, it's been a relapse into the pattern or losing money on the horses and seeing the sports side of the portfolio scrambling to minimise the effect on the bottom line figures. The weekend was a microcosm of this overall scenario, with a rotten weekend on the horses - Northern Monkey (0/5), On The Nose (one placed from six, no winners), The Market Examiner (0/1), Winning Racing Tips (one placed from two), and The Sportsman Racing (0/1).
Summer Of Football carried on where they left July though and found four winners from four. The service really is on a spectacular run at the moment, which we know won't last as variance strikes and results return to the norm. More impressive than the simple results over the last five or six weeks though is the mentality of James, the service operator. I hope he doesn't mind me printing this, an exerpt from a monthly review of the service he sent out to members today, as I haven't asked permission, but it does give an insight into his way of thinking and I'm sure he won't mind...
Remember to remain disciplined with and keep betting at proportional stakes to your betting bank. This current run will come to an end but I will do my best to avoid it. Interestingly my short list for yesterday had 4 bets on it which I ruled all of them out on value. 3 were losing bets and one was a void... I love it when that happens!
I have seen a bad run with the service. I remember a horrible weekend not long after I joined. These spells are of course inevitable, and will undoubtedly strike again at some point. But with the level-headedness with which James is treating this current golden spell, my confidence in SOF is growing and growing, and it is becoming what I would consider to be a long term part of the portfolio.
A mixed weekend for Form Lab Lite (one winner, one void bet, two losers) and break even for Service X (4/8). What I would say about Service X though is that through no fault of it's own, bets that are released on the Saturday are backed in a rather haphazard manner at present. I don't put money on if the price has collapsed and doesn't later rebound closer to kick off, and with my playing cricket, I'm missing as many bets as I'm hitting. I'm not unduly concerned though because of course the cricket season lasts only into early September, after which things will return to normal.
The month to date figures are below.
Northern Monkey: Staked 12pts, -12pts, roi -100%
On The Nose: Staked 12pts, -5.4pts, roi -45%
The Sportsman Racing: Staked 0.5pts, -0.5pts, roi -100%

Service X: Staked 61pts, +8.737pts, roi 14.32%, ROC 8.737%

3 Best Health Benefits of Chia Seeds
Do you know Chia seeds? Have you ever heard this? Most of people may do not know what Chia seeds are. Chia seeds are known as the natural foods which contain many kinds of healthy nutrients which are needed by the human body. The health benefits of Chia seeds are many and some of them will be presented in the following section.
Top 3 Health Benefits of Chia Seeds
1. Great amount of Nutrients and Few Calories
The first health benefit of Chia seeds is providing the greatest amount of nutrients. Before I continue describing the benefits of Chia seeds, do you know Chia seeds? What do they look like? Chia seeds are known as the tiny black seeds from the plant of Salvia Hispanic. This plant originally grows in the South America. This type of seeds had ever been the essential foods for the Mayan and Aztecs tribes long ago. The Society of those tribes consumed this type of seeds because the seeds could provide the greatest energy. The name of Chia came from a Mayan word which means strength.
Chia seeds have been recognized as the Superfood which can be helpful for the health. At the beginning of the appearance, the health benefits of Chia seeds were for the smaller people in the Mayan and Aztecs. Today, Chia seeds have been consumed by most of people around the world. The size of these seeds may be so tiny, but you do not just look at from the size, you need to look at the benefits and the nutritional profiles which are contained in these tiny black seeds.
To prove the health benefits of Chia seeds, I would like to present the nutritional profiles of Chia seeds below. 28 grams (1 ounce) serving of Chia seeds contain more 12 grams of fibers and 6 grams of proteins. Besides that, 1 ounce of Chia seeds contains 9 grams of healthy fat. 30 % manganese of required daily allowance (RDA) is contained by 1 ounce of Chia seeds. 30 % magnesium and 27 % phosphorus of RDA are contained in 1 ounce of Chia seeds. Chia seeds contain the decent amount of Potassium, Vitamin B3 (Niacin), Vitamin B1 (Thiamine), vitamin B2 and Zinc.
2. Sources of Antioxidants
The second health benefit of Chia seeds that you have to know is producing antioxidants. These tiny black seeds are known as the high sources of antioxidants and this type of nutrient is used to protect the sensitive fats from having rancid. The thing that you know is obtaining the natural antioxidants from foods, including Chia seeds deliver the positive impacts for your health, even though the antioxidant supplements are known not effective.
One of the functions of antioxidants is forcing and fighting the free radical productions which can deliver the negative effects on the molecules in your cells. Besides that, free radicals contribute to certain disease like cancer and aging. There is a statement which state that Chia seeds have more antioxidants compared to blueberries, but the student cannot be verified. Chia seeds produce the antioxidants which are useful for your health as the health benefit of Chia seeds.
3. Rich in Protein
Another health benefit of Chia seeds that you need to know is rich in protein. As mentioned in the previous section that Chia seeds own many healthy nutrients, one of the nutrients is protein. These tiny black seeds have the decent amount of protein. The weight of the protein in 1 ounce Chia seeds is about 14 % protein of RDA. The amount is relatively higher compared to the other plants. Besides protein, Chia seeds contain a good balance of amino acids so that your body will be able to use the protein in your body.
Talking about protein as a health benefit of Chia seeds, these seeds can be the perfect food for those who want to take diet since these foods contain high protein. The protein is helpful to reduce the appetite. It reduces your weight. The bottom line is Chia seeds belong to the foods which preserve the decent amount of protein. If you do not want to consume these seeds directly, you can make these seeds as additional food in salad.

|Wisbech 0 Lynn 1
LINNETS won the Kinsella Cup for only the second time as they took it off hosts Wisbech, thanks to Jon Palmer's solitary strike.
The Fenmen shaded the first half - and Chuck Martini made a brilliant save low to his right to keep out former Linnet Shaun Keeble's penalty following a needless Tony Spearing foul on Peter Munns.

The Cavaliers return home with diminished prospects
Jamie C. Harris | 6/7/2018, 1:05 p.m.
The resigned look on LeBron James' face spoke volumes as Game 2 of the NBA Finals wound down. Despite scoring 29 points on 10-20 shooting in addition to recording 13 assists and 9 rebounds in 44 minutes, James sat slightly slumped on the Cleveland Cavaliers' bench as if he just had one of the worst games of his illustrious career.
However, it was a brilliant showing, at least measured by any other player's standards. It gave James series averages of 40 points, 8.5 rebounds and 10.5 assists. It just wasn't enough—like his 51 points in Game 1—to get the Cavs past the Golden State Warriors. They had been victimized by Stephen Curry's Finals record nine three-pointers and went down in defeat by 122-103, falling 0-2 in the best-of-seven series.
It was James and the Cavaliers' sixth loss in their past seven Finals games against the Warriors, including last season's 4-1 series spanking. After giving away Game 1 when guard J.R. Smith experienced a brain freeze and essentially dribbled out the clock with the score tied at the end of regulation, the Cavs still hadn't figured out how to solve the riddle of conquering the Warriors since their potent opponent added Kevin Durant to an already formidable roster in the summer of 2016.
Returning home for Game 3 last night (Wednesday), their circumstances were immensely unfavorable because they needed to win four of the remaining five games to reclaim the title they took from the Warriors two years ago, a challenge James acknowledged was monumental.
"I know it feels like we're down 2-0, and I don't like the way I feel," James said from Cleveland Tuesday. "I don't like the way, the mood that I'm in right now, knowing whatever. There's no, like, OK, you're down 2-0 and you feel better than when you're down 2-0 before."
He continued, "I mean, when you're down like this, in a deficit like this versus a team like this, there's no good feeling. So I don't feel good about it."
His feelings were warranted. Golden State had yet to play a strong game from start to finish and were expecting the return of starting forward Andre Iguodala from a knee injury no later than Game 4. Iguodala last played May 20 in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals against the Rockets.
"I don't feel good how I feel right now, not how I feel about the rest of the series," James expounded. "I personally don't feel good today of the deficit that we have. Not about tomorrow. I feel great about our opportunity."
A Game 3 win for the Cavaliers last night was paramount to them having any possibility of winning the series, a probability that was already dire after Game 2.

San Gennaro's Restaurant (located at 140 South Barrington Place, just across the street from Archer) has courteous servers, excellent food with generous portions, and clean '50s style decor. The restaurant has been in business for 21 years.
Javier, the kind young server I spoke to, attributed this to catering events, many Brentwood kids coming to the restaurant after school, and a mix of loyal and new customers. When I went for dinner on a Friday night, the café was busy with a steady flow of customers.
There were enough waiters to accommodate the amount of people eating at the restaurant, and they checked in often to ask my opinion of the food. The "Genuine New York Italian cuisine" style café, open for lunch and dinner, also delivers and caters to many types of events.
The extensive five-page menu contains delicious food served for about 20 years without change, always coming with an appetizer of fresh-made garlic bread and classic Italian olive oil.
The restaurant incorporates many choices for dietary restrictions, such as introducing a new option of "Italian lite" – food made without oil, salt, or cheese for the weight-conscious individuals. Also, San Gennaro offers gluten and whole-wheat pasta or pizza on request.
The specials menu, though more expensive, has very interesting combinations and changes every two weeks. Some new and favored dishes from the specials menu are the classic Osso Bucco (a veal and marrow bone stew) and the most popular Trio Ravioli Del Mare (Jumbo shrimp, crab, and lobster ravioli in a tomato garlic wine sauce, for $28.95). For a special treat, many young diners love the fresh gelato bar, which can be sampled and also put atop desserts. For the older customers, a separate wine menu is provided with choices from the wine bar.
The food is available for takeout, and there's also a separate delivery menu, ordered by phone or online. The waiters always sing "Happy Birthday" for birthdays and bring the special guest a dessert. With the soft oldies music playing in the background and colorful tiled walls, the feeling of hospitality is reinforced.
Javier, who has worked at San Gennaro for 6 months, shared his story about coming to this genuine and delicious Italian restaurant. Javier was friends with the owner's son from baseball, and was unfortunately laid off from work as an accountant because of the sinking economy. Afterwards, Javier turned to his connections in order to earn some extra cash, which he mentioned is "always handy."
Javier also informed me of the catering service at San Gennaro, which is still in effect though sadly doesn't provide for Archer anymore. The restaurant does private parties, weddings, birthdays, etc. on any budget with a special catering menu.
They also still cater for other schools, such as Westview in West LA.
If you feel like having some authentic and scrumptious food, just visit San Gennaro's for lunch or dinner. For the lucky Juniors and Seniors, this means it's as easy as crossing the street from Archer during your free time.
Editor's Note: As of summer 2013, San Gennaro Cafe has closed.

A Preview of This Year's Homes:
209 N. 25th St. Built 1881
This Italianate row house was built in 1881 and maintains much of its original character today. Some of its original fixtures include gingerbread stained glass above the living room window, pocket doors, unique woodwork including door frame rosettes, and three working fireplaces (of the original five). The later addition of a sunroom casts light through the first floor of the house. In the winter months when the leaves have fallen, the front windows provide picturesque views of St. John's Church. The first residents were Irish immigrants Cornelius & Mary Reardon who first arrived in the states in the 1850s. Cornelius made a living as a stone cutter, including work on the Old City Hall on Broad St.
2607 E. Grace St. Built 1840
The Greek Revival Turner-Turpin House, known for its center hallway, was built by William and Susan Turner in1840. The house was enlarged by E.S. Turpin, owner of a tobacco processing business, between 1853-1892. This sun filled home sits on a large wide city lot that allows for a sprawling landscaped garden. It also has a large double porch with winter city views, beautiful heart of pine floors, an English basement, formal dental molding, and 6 fireplaces.
2608 E. Grace St. Built 1885
Built in 1885, this is one of the few three story houses on the Hill. It was the residence of John Mann, a Baltimore native who set up business in Richmond as a brick manufacturer in 1874. He and James Netherwood, an Englishman who established himself as a stonemason and contractor in the city in 1859, built the 13 houses in the "Mann-Netherwood Block" on the south side of E. Grace, opposite this home, as rental properties. This stunning home was recently completely renovated with top of the line fixtures and upgrades while keeping the historical charm. It has 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths.
27th St. Built 1890
This single-family home was built in 1890. With its impressive arched entrance, pointed gable, profusion of windows and unusual side garden, this house has great presence and storybook allure. Every room is a corner room, filling the house with cheerful light. Original 1909 period details include mantels, moldings, wood floors and detailed brickwork. A spacious entrance hall with original turned staircase connects the living room to a designer, eat-in kitchen that opens to the garden. The living room has double fireplaces and exposed brick wall. Upstairs are two bedrooms with fireplaces and a tastefully updated full bath with laundry.
307 N. 28th St. Built 1862
The Thomas Morris House has been placed on the tour as a "work in progress" and an example of how, even in an advanced stage of deterioration, a property can be adapted for contemporary living while preserving the floor plan and surviving historic fabric. This hipped roof Greek Revival has two floors above an English basement. Besides a considerable amount of original material found hidden beneath layers of "modernization," perhaps the most interesting find was a sign for the style icon Saks when the retailer was started in Richmond.
425 N. 33rd St. Built 1910
After a series of fires, botched renovations, and foreclosures, this house was basically a shell when renovation began in January 2011. The only woodwork original to the house are the mantels, and the molding all around the front door, which suffered severe fire damage but was restored. A notable feature is the curiosity cabinet in the parlor. Everything on the top shelf of the cabinet is from this house specifically (found either in or under the house), which includes an old wooden baseball bat and a Victorian shoe, amongst other things. This house was featured on Apartment Therapy in 2014, "House Tour: Tess's Grand & Colorful Virginia House."
3307 E. M St. Built 2016
Incredible, one of a kind modern home in Church Hill with a 2.5 car garage and open concept floorplan with 3 bedrooms and 2 and a half baths. Fully automated power solar shades throughout. Beautiful two-sided contemporary fireplace in the living room and gorgeous hardwood floors throughout. State of the art kitchen with white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, glass tile backsplash and awesome cedar wood island. This home includes new landscaping, hardscaping, lighting and Irrigation system to create a backyard Zen Garden. Built-In natural gas grill and great patio for outdoor entertaining. This house is located on one of the largest lots in Church Hill.
The Rebecca Brett House 2815 E. Grace St. Built 1852
Rebecca Brett, a young newly widowed mother, built this unique Greek revival house. It has two pairs of chimneys on both sides. Later, a full width porch replaced the original entrance. In the late 1980's the house underwent major restorations when the front porch was restored to its original appearance. In 2009 the house underwent a further significant renovation with the addition of a double sunroom, a completely new basement apartment, new bathrooms. The house is rounded out with a professionally designed rear garden with recirculating pond.
2908 E. Franklin St. Built 2017
This modern-style rowhouse is tucked in a valley between Libby Hill Park and Chimborazo Park, near the eastern end of the sealed Church Hill Tunnel. The area known as Sugar Bottom, is part of the first new construction in this area in decades. This lovely home offers a custom level of finish throughout. The open first floor plan has 10′ ceilings and site finished oak floors. The kitchen features quartz countertops, dual fuel range and a vented hood with a marble backsplash. The unique rear stairs feature casement windows in-between each floor and a triple covered 8×16 rear deck for air and entertainment! The gracious master bedroom with 9′ ceilings, leads to the beautiful master bath featuring penny tile floors and vanities topped with Carrera marble.
Church Hill Gables 2418 E. Franklin St. Unit 110 Built 1910 & 1960
When the owners decided to buy an urban condo three years ago, they had clear goals – no more yardwork and "spontaneous living". After buying a 600-square foot condo in the Church Hill Gables, they spent four months remodeling it. Among their projects was installing bookcases and a built-in bar and entertainment area near the front door. The loft platform over the unit's bedroom contributes nearly 100 square feet to the living space. They replaced the laminate and tile upstairs flooring with tongue and groove black walnut that had been milled in Orange County. The underside of the loft – the new ceiling over the bed – also features black walnut accentuated with LED strip lighting. The bathroom door dates to the 1850's and has a one-of-a-kind feature — a rat chewed corner! The bathroom has a marble tile shower and heated marble tile floor. Read more here.
2209 E. Grace St. Built 1894
Richmond Hill, the highest hill in Richmond, has been a place of prayer for several millennia. Native Americans confirmed this use when it was known as Tsenacomoco. The hill overlooks the Falls of the James and faces the setting sun. In the mid 1780's, Col. Richard Adams built a mansion on Richmond Hill. In 1866, at the request of Bishop John McGill of the Catholic Diocese of Richmond, the Sisters of the Visitation in Baltimore sent six sisters to establish a monastery and girls' school in the devastated city of Richmond. Bishop McGill purchased the house that Col. Richard Adams had built for them. In 1894, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Fortune Rya gave a new Chapel to the Sisters of the Visitation. The sisters sat in one wing of the Chapel behind a screen, and the students and the public sat in the other. The Second Vatican Council prompted architectural changes. The screen separating the Sisters' Chapel from the main Chapel was replaced with a railing, the altar was brought out from the wall, the stenciled walls were covered with vinyl, and the 30' ceiling was lowered in the main Chapel, obscuring the wainscoting and six second story stained glass windows.
L.B. Robinson House: 600 N. 23rd St. Built 1863
Mr. Robinson built this Greek Revival dwelling as a modest one-story center hall raised cottage with a central passage floor plan. The raised foundation likely came about later as a result of street grading that occurred around 1882. The 1st story is stretcher-bond brick. The 2nd story is frame with Masonite siding. The home was renovated around 2007 by previous owners who removed both the rear entrance and staircase, and covered over the void to create a continuous rear frame. The current owners exposed the brick fireplaces and removed layers of paint to restore the mantels throughout the house. The kitchen, dining room, and connecting hallway display original brick walls that were once the exterior of the home. Approximately half of the hardwood floors on the second level are original to the home. During a recent restoration, flooring from a similarly-aged house in Norfolk was used to replace modern flooring for the 2007 renovation.

Transforming the East Tip of Haulbowline into a public recreational amenity is one step closer after the signing of an €8million contract for final remediation works.
Cork County Council have said the awarding of the contract to PJ Hegarty and sons was a milestone in the redevelopment of the site.
The transformation of the 22acre site is expected to take 18 months.
Deputy Chief Executive of Cork County Council Declan Daly said "the project has been many years in the making and the result of a tremendous amount of work. The redevelopment will be an enormous benefit to local communities and will join the ever-increasing number of amenities within Cork harbour."
The new amenity will include a car park, playing pitch, walking / jogging circuit, picnic areas and viewing points.
The site estimated to hold up to 500,000 tonnes of slag a by-product of the steel manufacturing process, is believed to contain carcinogen chromium 6 and other heavy metals.
In 2011 the Department of Agriculture appointed Cork County Council to oversee regularisation of the East Tip after the EU threatened heavy penalties, if the site was not secured and made safe.
Some of the waste was taken off site and processed in Germany. It's understood no further waste is to be removed and the site is to be capped with a semi permeable layer.
Independent Cllr Kieran McCarthy has expressed a lack of confidence in the clean-up operation.
He said by just dealing with the East Tip Haulbowline will still continue to pose a health risk to harbour communities.
"Everything we hear in the media is the East Tip but I have former contractors telling me the southern part of the island needs attention."
"I have my concerns that we may be coming back to this in another number of years. We need to deal with it now once and for all."
Independent Cllr Marcia Dalton concurred with Cllr McCarthy's concerns, but remained optimistic that this would be "the first step of erasing the tragic legacy of Irish Steel in Cork Harbour."
Labour Cllr Cathal Rasmussen a former employee at the Steel works said he was "delighted the contract was signed and that work on removing the eyesore from Cobh will commence."
He said he was looking forward to the new amenity being available for all and that it will enhance the harbour back to the way it should be.

- Finley Crafted Beer.
It's Vegan. It's full of empty calories, alcohol & B12, which means it's somewhat healthy. This post was written on finely crafted beer.
- Vegan Twinkies / Vegan cornbread (Much easier, just as tasty and MUCH EASIER TO MAKE.)
Yes, they are nearly impossible to make, but the effort is rewarded with the taste of mediocrity. Just buy a $10 damn E-bay Twinkie already!
Vegan cornbread is very easy to make. You can substitute applesauce for oil to make them fat free. I love cornbread. This recipe is super easy. Add more sugar/agave/stevia for a sweeter bread.
- Banana Blueberry Bars
Fairly tasty, failry ugly, fairly healthy. Make 'em, eat 'em, run, run, run.

Get Slim & Flat: Dose Yourself with Pig Fat
I don't believe in strict diets, not only because they don't work, but also because they are unhealthy.
Hunger, craving, and appetite are muddy areas. Most people eat to satisfy their psyche rather than their body; there's also that biological aspect: sweets and fat are rare in nature; so, we're hard-wired to go after them. It's tricky business. I'll spare you the rant about striving for the "ideal weight" and just say that I think watching your weight is stupid. The goal should should be healthy and active, not meet some obsolete BMI rating.
Even so, some of us do have craving for food that aren't healthy or have an unhealthy urge to eat way too much. I accidentally discovered an easy trick to putting those cravings and overeating to an immediate end.
How did I discover this magic bullet?
A tattooed pig gave it to me. For those of you who don't know, I am a licensed tattoo artist. Whenever I try out a new needle configurations or re-configure my machines (I'm on a short stroke shader kick), I use Fat Back Pig Skin for practice. It's less expensive than the tattoo practice skin on the market and much more like human skin. It has tough spots, you have to stretch it, heck you even have to shave it, etc.
The fat under the pig skin smells after about an hour. It's a VERY particular odor that has a very specific effect. It completely takes away your appetite. It's literally a "disgusting" smell. And it sticks to your clothes.
It doesn't stink like roadkill or rotting flesh. It's more of a sweaty animal barnyard scent. I have seen aroma therapy diets that include scents that are supposed to make a person feel satiated, but none that take away the urge to eat. The smell of Pig-Fat on fat-back does just that.
To get the pig-fat to smell just do this. De-thaw it in hot TAP-water. Expose it to the sun or heat for a few minutes.
At .89¢ a lb, it might be good way to stop yourself from eating all the Haagen–Daz. Or could just NOT buy Haagen-Daz.
I am NOT a nutritionist, psychologist, or health expert. I'm just a guy who runs on concrete with barefeet, who tattoos old skool wolves on dead pigs, and who writes about hair-brained pig-fat diets on his a blog from time to time.

Glide your fingers along my arm. It makes me shiver and smile. My short, soft, barely-visible hairs stand on end. Caress the length from elbow to wrist, over and over. Touch my lips. Send electricity through them. Make me laugh with the sensation. Place your index and middle fingers on your lips, then mine, showing your love for me. Kiss my cheeks, my eyes, my forehead, my nose, my mouth with tenderness. Place your hands on my waist. Look into my eyes. Smile. Let me know, that in this moment, you and I are all that matter. Share with me something that happened you today. Something small. Something inconsequential. Something that mattered to you. Ask me how my day was. Not because you should. Because you care. And when I share, know I did because I trust you. Let me take your face in my hands, kiss you gently, brush your cheek with my lips. Accept my whisperings in your ear, of my happiness to be here right now. Let me be the one to take your hand this time. Let me lead you home. To our bed. Our place. Our safety. Let me show you all you show me. I will let you show me all, in return.

A bit late here - I only just finished my P-40. I am keeping to one kit at a time only at the moment, given the massive piles of Shelf o' DOOOOM! models that remain...'unfinished'. The M-72 was a 'licence-built' Soviet version of the German BMW R71, via the very short-lived Molotov-von Ribbentrop 'Pact' of 1939. The machine is still apparently in production in China today, after the Russians sold the whole production process to the Chinese. The Wikipedia page for this machine can be found here. The Germans passed over the BMW R71 in favour of the R75 (and apparently preferred the Zündapp KS750 motorcycle over the R75). 1. Kit box (a you-beaut end-opener 😬🙄) top: 2. Back of M-72 box - wine (no women) and song 3. Frames 'A' - two of them: motorcycle parts 4. Frame 'B' - sidecar and figurines. Note where the ever-vigilant floor monster made one of its spirited attempts on a part just out of the bag. 5. Frame 'C' - figurines 6. Transfers - not one set, but three! 7. Instructions part 1 8. Instructions part 2 There are two versions out of the box - one a travelling heavy machine gun party, the other a travelling musical party. Being a musician (of sorts 🤣) myself, I can't but not do the musical one. Great three-part accordion, as you will see eventually. I've located one of the required - sacked - Humbrol 'paints'*: the rest of them I can get away with using LifeColor, MIG and Tamiya acrylics. I may have enough courage after this one to tackle a Tamiya 1/12 bike - we'll see. Given my current completion rate I may not make the Oct 1 deadline. But we'll see. There's quite a few parts (for me) in this one, and figurine painting. At least it's 1/35, not 1/72! And no cornflakes either. I promise! Cheers, Dr L. *Total time-wasters

There is an old axiom that the 3 keys to successfully selecting real estate are "location, location and location". The 3 keys that guide the successful selection and development of commercial properties are Visibility, Accessibility and Parking.
An effective on-premise sign is critical component of visibility, and the sign should receive the same careful attention as these other components. Without a properly designed and placed on-premise business sign, a commercial site cannot function at its full economic potential.
The Functions of the On-Premise Sign
An effective on-premise sign is critical component of visibility, and the sign should receive the same careful attention as these other components.
1. It develops a memory for a location and the products or services available at the location.
2. It reinforces a memory and extends recall of other advertising efforts.
3. It attracts new customers by prompting first-time or impulse visits or purchases.
4. It modifies customary purchase decisions or habits. Changeable copy and temporary window signs are especially effective in encouraging variation from accustomed consumption patterns. (For more about modifying customary purchase habits, see the section that follows.)
Branding a Site
One measure of how effective or valuable an on-premise sign is to its site is demonstrated by how well it helps to brand the site. A sign "brands" a location, just as a product label brands the product. If an attractive image is not communicated by the business' sign, the business will rarely convey its true message, or get the clientele it seeks.
Every site development and sign program strategy will benefit if the on-premise sign is made the focal point of the site. If a site is "signcentric", it means that the sign catches the customer's attention and leads him to the target business. A measurable positive effect on gross revenues should immediately result from signcentric site development.
Image is Everything
The quality of a sign and the image a business portrays say a lot about the products or services the customer can expect, and subsequently a professional sign WILL enhance the image of your business.
For the benefit of your business, Reed Signs urges you to try as much as possible to outclass your competitors on signs in order to project a higher quality image. In marketing, perception is reality, and for many businesses the signs have a large effect on customer perception.

Wrangle and Verbal Abuse in Georgian Parliament
A verbal controversy occurred in the Parliament of Georgia today. Member of the Patriots' Alliance, Emzar Kvitsiani verbally insulted MP of Movement for Liberty - European Georgia, Giga Bokeria and threw a pen at him.
Today members of the Parliament listened to the annual report of the head of State Security Service, Vakhtang Gomelauri. Members of European Georgia and United National Movement demanded to have an open format during the political speeches and Q&A. The controversy between the MPs started around this subject.
During his speech Kvitsiani stated that it does not matter whether the format will be closed or not, when a resident of a foreign country, Giga Bokeria, was sitting at this meeting.
Another member of Patriots' Alliance then further elaborated that "Bokeria was the Resident of Russia". Kvitsiani later apologized for his actions and stated that verbal abuse was "just an emotion".
After today's meeting at the Parliament one of the MPs of European Georgia, Otar Kakhidze was injured. Another incident occurred in MP's room and there's no video footage of it, however the ashtray thrown into his head.

From James Madison to Henry Dearborn, 4 March 1815
To Henry Dearborn
Washington Mar. 4. 1815
Dear Sir
Being desirous of obtaining for the Department of War, services which I thought you could render with peculiar advantage, & hoping that for a time at least you might consent to step into that Dept. I took the liberty, without a previous communication, for which there was not time, to nominate you as successor to Mr. Monroe who was called back to the Dept. of State. I had not a doubt from all the calculations I could make, that the Senate wd. readily concur in my views, and if a doubt had arisen, it would have been banished by the confidence of the best informed & best disposed with whom I conferred, that the nomination would be welcomed where it was to be decided on. Contrary to these confident expectations, an opposition was disclosed in an extent which determined me to withdraw the nomination. But before the message arrived, the Senate very unexpectedly had taken up the subject and proceeded to a decision. They promply [sic] however relaxed so far as to erase the proceeding from their Journal, and in that mode to give effect to the withdrawal.
I have thought this explanation due both to me & to yourself. I sincerely & deeply regret the occasion for it. But to whatever blame I may have subjected myself, I trust you will see in the course taken by me, a proof of the high value I place on your public, and of the esteem I feel for your personal character. Permit me to add that I have been not a little consoled for the occurrence to which I have been accessary [sic], by the diffusive expression to wch. it has led, of sentiments such as your best friends have heard with most pleasure. Accept assurances of my great respect & sincere regard
James Madison
