Well, contrary to my intentions of taking it relatively easy on Sunday, I ended up putting in a full day's work, complete with two new problems for two different projects that I'm still in the process of attempting to resolve. One is an optical sensor that is hitting a high temperature limit intermittently, and the other is a programming glitch in a Matlab script. I think I have the latter issue figured out, and just have to wait and see what the project staff have to say about my proposed fix before I run with it. This waiting game for communications from people in the U.S. is probably going to be one of the more difficult issues for me. When I was working flight ops on the SOHO satellite most of the time troubleshooting was something that got jumped on immediately and with all the resources necessary, regardless of the time of day. Here, it's a lot more lax.
Last night I did get to listen to the Mayo Clinic altitude sickness researchers' presentation on their research. It sounds like this is one of the few places where they can get the numbers of people being rapidly exposed to high altitude from sea level. I wonder if they've ever considered working with people on flights from Lima to Cusco, Peru. That's sea level to 12,000 feet in about as long as the flight from McMurdo to Pole. We've had pretty depressed barometric pressure this last week, and it has regularly been at an equivalent altitude of 11,000 feet and higher.

Learn some tips that can help you choose the best auto insurance for you and your vehicle. You can figure out everything you need so that you will not fall for policy traps and how to save money by choosing a good provider who offers a plan with great coverage. It's not so scary once you know the basics.
When considering auto insurance for a young driver, consider the benefits and drawbacks of having a higher deductible. If the deductible is higher, then it will be a cheaper policy and vice versa. It is usually recommended to find a good medium between the two, based on the driving skills and area that the driver will be driving in.
With auto insurance, the lower your deductible rate is, the more you have to pay out of pocket when you get into an accident. A great way to save money on your auto insurance is to opt to pay a higher deductible rate. This means the insurance company has to daily car insurance compare pay out less when you're involved in an accident, and thus your monthly premiums will go down.
Get your insurance quote before you buy a vehicle. This way, you will know in advance how much everything will cost altogether. Find out if buying a slightly different car will change your rates. Every little bit helps, and if you can walk away with a car that has lower rates, you would want to do so.
If you can afford to do so, save some money on your car insurance by paying the entire year's premium at once. Most insurers will offer the option to pay premiums monthly. But this adds on a fee for the convenience, which can add up over the course of the year. You can still save by splitting the annual premium into two payments.
Move to a rural area. The closer you are to the city, the higher your premiums will be. Accidents, break-ins, and vandalism all increase inside city limits, so premiums have to be higher to cover the damages. The farther away from the city you go, the lower your premiums get.
Having more vehicles than one needs is a way to pay more than one needs to be paying for insurance. By selling or storing cars or anything else that one does not use often they will no longer have to pay insurance on that vehicle. It will save them money off their insurance.
If you do not have a vehicle yet, be sure to think about what the insurance premium will be for the type of car that you will buy. The type of car that you drive plays a great part in calculating your premium. Your insurance premium will be higher if you own a sports car or a car that is high in value.
Even though you may be loyal to a certain auto insurance company, it pays to shop around for other companies each year. The prices of auto insurance are constantly taking and by not looking around, you could be spending far more on your current insurance than you would be with another company.
Choices are endless and companies numerous when it comes to auto insurance. Get ahead of the game by doing your homework and knowing what it is that you want to get out of your coverage.

Ok, so even if I try to sound intelligent and pretend I'm a serious Shakespeare reviewer I'm gonna look an idiot, so I'll just tell you about my night at Everyman Theatres Romeo & Juliet.
Set in beautiful Sophia Gardens is the outdoor theatre where Everyman have been holding a series of summer shows, there's been musicals, comedy, Disney and Ofcourse Shakespeare!
Huge credit must be given to the staff that manage these events, everyone is soooooo nice and they put so much effort into creating a lovely environment. The bar area is fab and for Romeo & Juliet it was decked out in pink and white and a lot of effort had been made to make it a romantic setting.
And there's oven baked Pizza there too and it's delicious! Pizza & Pimms in the park surrounded by fairy lights is just the loveliest way to start your evening at the theatre.
Ok.. Showtime, the cast assemble on the stage and it is reminiscent of a street corner in Llanrummney, a police helicopter even flew over adding to the tense fight scene that was about to take place.
I don't know much about Shakespeare but I know when something is done well and these guys are fantastic and the fight scenes so convincing I muttered ouch a couple of times under my breath.
You couldn't ask for a better setting than Sophia Gardens for a backdrop for Romeo & Juliet, as it got darker the trees were lit up and the whole set become more atmospheric.
Even tho the language was a form of English that has not been spoken in Cardiff for many many years the show is easy to follow, the acting is first class and may I add an exceptional performance from Juliet.
So, am I now a Shakespeare fan? Probably not but I'm a huge fan of Everyman and fully appreciate a great performance and that's what they give.. A Great Performance.

My First Novel
Writing or story telling was a passion to me way back in my life. Well, there is no future for writers specially in countries in India where books are time wasters basically. that along with my family pressure to earn made me stop writting books and verses (கவிதைகள்). But now i have reached a point where i need certain relaxation to my life and i found solace in story writing. I began writin my first novel, but was not sure how to get it across to you all. If i write more than ten lines itself no one reads it, so ebook surely wont work. Then thought blogs are the best place to release that. I wanted to do something different and thats the reason why this unique idea of publishing a novel part by part came up to me. I expect you all to read it, comment it, encourage me or at least thrash it. Well my world has mostly revovled around my friends and i am sure you all will be with me in this comic yet brave attempt. Fasten your seat belt guys...the journey begins from tomorrow...:)

WTF Friday
WTF? A dead octopus as a fashion accessory?
Ugh. The girl doesn't need that.
I couldn't decide if this pic is Photoshopped or not.
What do you think?
That is a good question. But looking at some of the shadows and the way the octopus is lying I would say it is almost certainly not photoshopped and is real.
Ooops, Sorry made a big mistake. Just had a quick count of how many tentacles there are and there appear to be way too many of them on her body.
I count 9 arms there and it is not a squid or cuttlefish.
So it appears to be PS'ed.
This seems to be the result of Japanese tentacle rape animes.
I vote for photoshoped. The octopus looks OK on her head, but looks fake around her breasts. The octopus does not hang right in my opinion.
That's cause it "sticks" to the skin. I vote for real, having played with octopi before. Of course, after an evening dancing under the hot lights I don't think this fashion maverick is going to smell quite so sweet!
You know what they say about suckers: there's one born every minute.
The "laying on of hands".
Looks like she's going to a Detroit Red Wings hockey game!!!! W00T!!!!!
is she going to be in a remake of the James Bond film Octopussy?
On a side note, the shadows don't look quite right- almost like the light is coming from her breasts… maybe it is a reflection, but I doubt it. Skin isn't that luminescent, is it?
I'd have to say that the one on the head is real and the tentacles around her chest are fake….
They just don't look that real to me. The tentacles not the boobs.
I vote for Photoshopped, but it's quite a nice job. It could just be the compression, but as someone pointed out above, the shadows don't look quite right down around the breasts. The tentacles very flat and almost 2D down there. And yes, I know they stick to skin, but in this picture, they just don't look natural. Speaking of her skin, very rarely is skin that flawless, which makes me think it's been touched up.
It is, at the very least, cleaned up in Photoshop and maybe given a slight effect, and more likely the octopus is completely added/blended from another photo.
The real question I have is does anyone find this picture erotic?
oops, …tentacles APPEAR very flat…
I think the real question is: are there ANY "real" pictures anymore. I don't know of any photographers who do not photoshop EVERY photo they have, so I don't think that's a realistic response (ie. that he skin is "flawless"). The question is whether the squid is fake, not whether the photo has been enchanced.
I think there is an octopus on her head. But there is too much post processing in Photoshop. The tentacles over the beast are photoshopped in. They are on the same 'layer' in PS. A case where less would have been more.
I don't see an octopus.
She is absolutely lovely, regardless of the fashion accessory.
The octopus puts me in mind of Richard Avedon's famous photo shoot of Natasha Kinski with a boa constrictor (or python?) that was as big as she was. BTW, Kinski was ravishing, but has a cute little pooch to her tummy that would be considered chubby by today's anorexic standards.
Surely, one of the most attractive WTF offerings. My thoughts are that the octopus is real, which qualifies the model as a true professional.
Ditto what frogman sez
Medusa's original idea for a do was regarded as quite silly. Her hair just laid there and was not at all terrifying.
I'm mildly intrigued about the origins of this pic. It's the sort of thing I'd only expect to come from Japan.
And I think the octopus is a real prop (but not a real octopus), and that the lower tentacles are probably added in Photoshop. Still, very lovely – albeit odd – photograph.
I'm amused at the false dichotomy in the previous comments: either it's a real octopus or it's Photoshopped? Come on people, photo-fakery is older than computers!
(By the way: octopodes. It's a consonant-stem, not an o-stem like most 'us' words. Others include corpus, corpora and prius, priora, both of which happen to be neuter. Then there are the rarer u-stem nouns like hiatus whose plural merely lengthens the last vowel.)
Okay, the Octopus is real, the girl is a fake, and we still don't have a comprehensive health care plan.
Sorry..I know it makes no sense, but I've been working in DC all day, and it sucks the creativity (along with morality and decency) right out of you. I'll be better tomorrow. Promise.
Hey! I live and work in DC and…
…okay, yeah. I can't really argue with you there.
I agree with Kaze. The octopus on her head is real but not a real octopus and the lower parts are ps'ed. They don't lay correctly. It could be something to do with Pirates of the Caribbean. Maybe someone trying to do a bizzare fan pic?
Is there any chance that there is no octopussy, but an elaborate hair job/wig. That might explain the wrong looking tentacles observed by many.
Something beyond rastafare 🙂
No no no! I ordered Octopus and PRAWN!
It's definitely 'shopped.
No shadowing of the tentacles where there should be, given the studio lighting;
The tents hanging off of the breasts leave no shadow, cause no "drag", and the left-side (as viewed) tent is warped to make it appear as though it's following the breast's curve (look at it under high mag – Gads. I have *no* life…)
Lastly, this thing is sticking to the model, especially on her arms, yet there is no "slime", no wet-skin shine (on either Ock or Cutie), nor any other mark on her skin to show what is causing such adhesion.
It's real and 'shopped to death to make it look "uber-clean".
My vote, and that of three professional photog friends: Fake.
My $0.02 worth. Don't spend it all in one place.
its sucking out her brains

SunButter Lentil Soup
- Start to finish: About 5 hours, including refrigeration time
- Makes: 4 servings
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 small onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large carrot, chopped in 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium parsnip, chopped in 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium sweet potato, chopped in 1/2-inch pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder (see Notes)
3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
4 cups vegetable broth
2 cups cooked brown or green lentils (see Notes)
1/4 cup SunButter Natural Crunch
4 cups packed chopped greens, such as swiss chard or kale
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
Salt, if needed
Notes: For the curry powder, you may need less depending on its intensity. Start with half the amount if you're sensitive to spice, then add more at the end of cooking. If you are using canned lentils, drain and rinse before using.
IMPORTANT: Check to ensure all individual ingredients are produced in a peanut and tree nut free facility.
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the carrot, parsnip, and sweet potato to the mixture. Cook for 5 more minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the curry powder, turmeric, coriander, and ginger to the vegetable mixture. Cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant, then add the broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer on medium-low heat, cover, and let cook until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Add the lentils, SunButter, and greens to the mixture. Cook until the greens are wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir in the rice vinegar.
Adjust seasonings and add salt to taste (you may not need salt if you used regular-sodium broth). Serve warm.

text: Canadian TV star Dave Coulier has slammed press reports suggesting Alanis Morissette's bitter song YOU OUGHTA KNOW is about him, insisting it's never been proven he is the subject of the lyrics. Coulier was the Canadian singer's first love and rumours have continually linked him to the famously sour break-up anthem. He says, "I never said that song was about me. The press made it out to be a bigger deal than it was. "We (Coulier and Morissette) laughed about it." The actor admits that he has no hard feelings toward his ex-girlfriend, who is now engaged to VAN WILDER star Ryan Reynolds. He adds, "Alanis is a phenomenal person. Really one of the best people I've ever known."

Job Description
Our client, a leading Investment Management firm in London is seeking to appoint a Compliance & Risk Executive to join their London team.
About The Role
We would like to recruit an experienced Compliance/Risk Professional who is keen to develop and grow in this role. The individual that takes this role will need to display that they have or can develop the attributes required to step up to establish themselves in the team and deputise in the absence of the Chief Compliance Officer.
Ideally the successful applicant should have:
Approximately 5 years asset management compliance and/or risk working knowledge.
Background in dealing with international institutional clients (retail experience is not so relevant)
Good knowledge of European (UCITS, MiFID, EMIR) and US (Investment Adviser/Investment Companies Act) regulatory requirements would be an advantage
Good Degree and IMC/CISI or other relevant investment management/compliance qualifications
Computer literacy to a reasonably high standard e.g. good working knowledge of Excel and an understanding of, or willingness to learn, VB/VBA
Strong interpersonal skills
Excellent communication/presentation skills
Well organised working style with good attention to detail
Sound judgement and self-confidence but should be prepared to listen and take-on other viewpoints
Ability to be commercially aware and provide solutions i.e. not a "traffic warden" approach
Strength of character and self-belief to "dig their heels in" when the situation demands
Clear team focus i.e. a team player who is prepared to learn from colleagues, share knowledge with them and get involved in all aspects of the team's activities
Gravitas and leadership qualities (or at least able to clearly demonstrate the potential to develop these over the coming years)
We would envisage someone in the early stages of their career who has a solid range of experience e.g. as a member of a larger team or a generalist in a smaller team - so not likely to be interested in someone who has been doing KYC/AML for 5 years. They should be on a career track where they would quickly establish themselves as a leader within the team and could expect to be promoted to management level over the next two to four years.
The firm is a relatively small company so the individual will often be working with senior staff (who are also the owners of the company) so they can expect an environment of continual informal assessment during their early years with the company. Although the company is a friendly and informal company, we do expect high professional standards from our staff so it is important that the individual conducts themselves accordingly so they can earn the respect of colleagues. They should be prepared to prove themselves as capable of assuming a senior role within the next few years
The individual will be involved in all facets of the Compliance & Risk team's work - in order to operate effectively as a leader in the team they will need to have a good understanding of all the tasks the team performs. We would expect this to operate as a rolling programme of on the job training where they will be introduced to and be expected to perform key tasks over a period of time i.e. probably 12/24 months. As the individual develops in the role they can expect to be given more responsibility and leadership opportunities.
It is important to stress that this is a role with the potential to grow into a more senior position - success will depend heavily on the individual's ability to demonstrate that they are the type of person that the client company wants in a senior position in the future.
Key Responsibilities
The main duties that the role will ultimately entail are as follows:
Client Interaction: dealing with client compliance & risk enquiries from allocated client's e.g. general compliance reporting, due diligence questions, contract renewals and compliance certifications. In time, this will also include managing and attending client meetings
Risk Framework Maintenance: Responsibility for ensuring the risk framework reflects key company risks and take input from business quarterly and run updated reports for business
Managing Errors Process: Ensuring that errors are properly handled by investigation i.e. validating business proposals and looking for further enhancements. Formal reporting (Compliance & Risk Committee and if necessary, the Board)
Compliance Monitoring Programme ("CMP"): responsible for co-ordinating and supervising the operation of the rolling risk based monitoring programme. Ensuring that appropriate records are kept to evidence comprehensive coverage, that reviews are performed, completed and followed up on a timely basis. Review and update the CMP on an on-going basis and perform a formal review with the CCO each year end
Guideline Compliance Process (LVTS): various duties related to ensuring that guideline compliance controls remain effective
Compliance Projects: ad hoc duties related to development of processes within the team, or the wider business which require compliance input, and any other specialist tasks.
Other duties which the individual will need to be involved with (as backup or owner for a period of time) willinclude: personal account trading system approvals etc, US Regulatory Reporting (ADV, Form PF etc), Shareholder disclosures and other general compliance duties.
Additional Information
All members of the Compliance & Risk team report to the CCO who in turn reports to the Chief Executive Officer. The CCO also has an informal reporting line to the Executive Chairman and a communication line to two non-executive directors.

An interesting article was released a few weeks ago regarding the "best" and "worst" states in which to practice medicine. I'm pretty happy practicing where I do and I hope you can say the same, regardless, I was curious. You may wonder (as I did) where does your state rank for physicians and what makes a state a good place to practice?
We each have our own criteria when looking at jobs after fellowship. Some will favor compensation, some location, and some reputation of the institution. This article looks at some of those factors but also considers many items that most PEM physicians don't count at all in their decision process.
Here is a link to the article: Best States
Surprisingly, the top three "states" are: Iowa, Minnesota, Idaho and the worst "states" are: New Jersey, DC, and New York.
In order to explain why they make these determinations let's dig a bit into the methodology of the report and also why some of the factors they consider should be on the radar of PEM physicians when deciding where to practice.
In their methodology they give a score to several factors:
- Physicians average annual wages
- Physicians average annual starting monthly wage
- Hospitals per capita
- Insured population rate
- Primary care provider shortage
- Projected elderly share of the population
- Current physician competition
- Projected physician competition
- Number of CME credits required
- Presence of interstate medical licensure compact law
- Quality of public hospital systems
- Punitiveness of the state medical board
- Malpractice award payout per capita
- Annual malpractice liability insurance rate
As you can see they take many factors into consideration. Some of them we often think of like salary and the quality of the health system we are joining but many are unique (and some don't apply to the PEM physician at all like the elderly population rate). For instance, I did not consider the insured population rate, the presence or lack of a primary care physician shortage, or the punitiveness of the state medical board in my decision to practice in Indiana. Many of these are directly related to your finances, hence the examination of this article on this blog.
Let's dive in a bit. The factors that arguably can make your job help or a hinder your financial future include factors that directly affect your compensation and factors that effect the chance you will get sued potentially taking away financial resources.
The authors assign a 0-100 score to each state based on the 14 factors listed above. The first 10 make up the opportunity and compensation factors where a state can score up to 70 points and the last 4 make up the medical environment factor where a state can score up to 30 points.
As you would imagine, several different states lead in different categories and none is all "good" or "bad." For instance, Indiana ranks #1 in physician compensation and in the top 5 for malpractice insurance premiums, whereas New York is in the bottom 5 for annual wage, competition, malpractice awards and insurance rates. Given this it isn't hard to see why some states ranked lower than others.
One important caveat is that compensation rankings in this article were adjusted for cost of living. This makes it easy to see why a relatively high wage would be ranked higher in a place like Indiana than say, California or New York as the cost of living is much more on the coasts. Also, more desirable locations attract people, physicians included so this inevitably leads to more competition (and higher physician density) decreasing the score for some of the same locales that have lower adjusted compensation for the cost of living. This proves a double whammy to certain states.
Other important factors that have nothing to do with physician density are the punitiveness of medical boards (sorry New Mexico, Ohio, Delaware, Louisiana and Wyoming), the amount of malpractice awards (lowest in North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Texas and North Carolina), and the cost of malpractice insurance (condolences New York, DC, Michigan, Illinois, West Virginia). Malpractice insurance is cheaper where malpractice awards are relatively lower and this is often partly due to the presence of tort reform laws. These awards also cause a double hit to certain states, as it seems that many states with high desirability, geographically speaking, also have more punitive environments for physicians and any mistakes they might make.
Overall, I found this article interesting and it raised a couple of points that I think are pertinent to PEM physicians looking for a new/first job. Namely, the state practice environment depends on more than just whether there is an ocean/good climate/mountains present and that a PEM job seeker should consider physician density, the state medical board, and the malpractice climate along with more traditional considerations like salary when they make their decisions.
What do you think about the article? Did you consider the malpractice environment in your future practice site when thinking about your current job? Do you think the score is faulty or how would you change the scoring system to rank states in your opinion?

Benefit from our free and personal service while securing the best conditions available.
What documents are needed for a mortgage application?
The supporting documents needed for a mortgage application can vary depending on your personal and financial situation. Once you have discussed your profile with your mortgage consultant, a tailored document list will be sent to you. Typically copies of the following list will be needed:
- Passport
- Marriage certificate
- Recent utility bill of your principal address
- Title deeds or rental agreement of principal address
- If salaried: Last three salary slips and Last two P60
- If self employed: Letter from your accountant confirming your income, Last three years company accounts, Last two tax returns
- Last three months bank statements
- Sales agreement, compromis de vente,
- Mortgage application and Insurance forms to be completed
Which projects can be financed?
The projects that can be financed
- Buying a French second home
- Buying a French main home
- Renovation loan
- French bridging loan
- Buy to let
- Leaseback
- Equity Release
- Re-mortgage
- Post financing
How much can I borrow?
If you are a non fiscally French resident you can typically finance 80-85% of the purchase price, also known as the Loan To Value (LTV). However this rule is too general as it is only your personal and financial situation that will determine how much you can borrow. Some profiles could get 110% LTV financing, while some others would only get 50%. One of the most important element in securing a mortgage in France is the income to outgoings ratio, more commonly known as the French Debt Ratio.
Only your mortgage consultant can provide you with your borrowing capacity.
What is the French Debt Ratio?
The French debt ratio is a calculation of the fixed outgoings (loans, mortgages, rent, child maintenance etc) divided by the Income (Salary, rental income etc). This ratio should typically be inside 33%. All the French banks can have a very different approach on how they calculate this ratio and can have different threshold levels on the maximum debt ratio they can accept.
For example:
Your income is: 3 000 €
Your mortgage on your principle residence is 500 €
The mortgage on the French property you are buying is 500 €
1 000/3 000= 0.33 or 33%, the debt ratio is 33%
What are the Fees?
The agency fee, can vary depending on the agency and price of the property. On average the agency fee is around 5% of the purchase price.
Legal/Notary fees, frais de notaire, is government tax similar to the stamp duty. This is about 7% of purchase price if the property was built less than three years ago, for recently built properties the legal fees are approximately 3%
Mortgage registration cost, approximately 1% of the financed amount
Bank arrangement fee, varies from one bank to another. Typically this fee is no less than 700 € and maximum 1% of the loan amount.
Broker fees, unlike most brokers we do not charge a brokerage fee
Furthermore on completion day, you will have to pay pro-rata the "Taxe fonciere" similar to the land tax. For example if this tax is 1 200 €/year and you sign over the property in September, the vendor will pay 9/12th (900 €) of this tax bill the buyer will pay 3/12th (300 €)
Example of a purchase with financing
Mr and Mrs SMITH, a British couple are buying a holiday home in France.
The Purchase price is 100 000 € FAI (FAI means Frais d'Agence Inclus - Agency's fee included)
The legal/Notaire's fee is approximately 7% of the purchase price. So in this case about 7 000 €
the mortgage registration cost is approximately 1% of the financed amount, in this case 800€
Total cost to them is 107 800 €
Why do I need a mortgage insurance?
The mortgage insurance is a legal requirement in France. The financed amount will be insured at 100%. In the event of death or serious invalidity the mortgage insurance will pay off the mortgage.
Depending on the borrower's age, medical history and loan amount a medical may be needed. To find out more about this contact your mortgage adviser.
The compromis de vente
The Compromis de vente is sales agreement, a contract between the seller and the buyer. It can be drafted by the real estate agent or by the notaire. Once the compromis de vente is signed by all parties, a 7 day cooling period starts, at this stage a deposit of 5-10% will be required. It is recommended to make this payment to the notaire. Beyond the 7 days, you are committed to purchase the property subject to securing the mortgage. In the event that the bank refuses the mortgage within the allocated 30-45 days, you deposit will be returned.
The Notary -le Notaire
The notary or Notaire in French
As a legal professional with a public authority, the Notaire drafts the deed relating to the transfer of ownership and thereby ensures the enforceability of this contract. Thoughout the legal process of the transaction, the notaire advises you in order to clarify, structure and optimise your project according to your family situation, your professional status and tax implications.
It is recommended that you have your own notaire representing you.
What is the EURIBOR?
The Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR) is an interest rate based on the average interest rates at which a panel of 57 European banks lend money to one another. The EURIBOR interest rates are calculated daily and made public at 11:00 Central European Time. The EURIBOR rates come in different maturities: 1, 2 en 3 weeks and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 months.
A variable rate is usually composed of two elements, a fixed component the bank's margin and the tracker for example the EURIBOR3M.
What French taxes am I going to pay?
Taxe fonciere, land tax
Taxe d'habitation,
Capital gains Tax, this has recently changed. It used to be no capital tax to be paid after 15 years. Now you have to wait 30 years to be exempt of this tax. Contact your Mortgage consultant to get further details on this tax.

The Trillions To Be Made Beating Climate Change
Climate change lauded as 'opportunity' in Davos
January 26, 2018 (EURACTIV)
"…[Climate change is the next century's biggest financial and business opportunity, the Chair of the $19 billion Indian Mahindra Group] conglomerate told the World Economic Forum (WEF)…[He called it a $6 trillion opportunity. The put the 2017 investment at $8.13 trillion. The transformation will be like] when cars were first introduced and the industry that developed around them.

This year I was Co-chair for the Polar Plunge Lead Team with Ellen Wegener! We were in charge of spreading awareness about Polar Plunge and helping make the Leadership Institite team a success – here is the link to our donation page, https://www.firstgiving.com/team/363453.
We raised $3,211!! Unfortunately, this is a lot less then last year and are still questioning the decrease this year. This is the first year with a Polar Plunge team, and in all honestly believe it is more successful as one team, including leadership launch and polar plunge together.
This was an easy LEAD team to run, and all members were willing to work and spread awareness! I couldn't the actual polar plunge since I had a graduate school interview. Though members all attended and volunteer for the event to help it run smoothly!

Who is the leading CPU IP core provider after ARM (I know that ARM is #1)?
Hi Howard, I would say that will be Imagination Technologies
I think Imagination provides MIPS cores and not ARM cores in terms of CPU.
A lot of other companies like Qcom/Samsung takes ARM architecture licence and build their own cores.

Grand Teton National Park, in partnership with Jackson Hole Public Art, Teton County School District and Subaru of America, are hosting an event to celebrate a newly created and innovative art exhibit about recycling in the park. The public event will be Thursday, July 13, 5-7 p.m. at the Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center in Moose, Wyoming.
The event will include a presentation and reception on the terrace of the visitor center, recognizing two public art projects, "STREAM" and "Mountain Recycling Bin" that will be on display at the visitor center through July 30. The art was created, designed, and implemented by local high school students under the leadership of Jackson Hole Public Art's professional artist-on-staff Bland Hoke and funded by Subaru of America, Inc.
"STREAM" (Science, Technology, Recycling, Engineering, Arts, and Math) is a large scale project that is 25 feet high by 45 feet long, and includes shimmering trout coated with recycled materials and a flowing stream made of recycled water bottles. The largest fish is six feet long with recycled pieces of aluminum from soda cans as the shiny scales. The project visualizes the 2016 recycling diversion rate in the park. The smaller display inside the visitor center depicts the amount of plastic and aluminum cans currently being collected in the park for recycling, while the larger display on the terrace represents materials that are going to landfills rather than being recycled.
"Mountain Recycling Bin" is fabricated out of steel in the shape of three Teton peaks, each with a clear window that displays three commonly collected recycled materials; glass, aluminum and #1 plastic. To address the problem of contamination by mixing materials, the students chose to showcase the recycled materials in an engaging way. Using hammers and blenders, they processed glass, plastic and aluminum into different sized particles and filled a container with the smallest particles on the bottom and recognizable recycled materials at the top of the mountain. The result depicts geologic time and the compression of material. The design solves the challenge of communicating how to properly recycle across languages by showing what materials can be recycled.
The overarching goal of the installations is to improve the park's waste diversion rate and facilitate easier collection, while communicating to a diverse audience that recycling can be fun. Over 100,000 visitors will see the temporary artwork and learn more about recycling.
The project took several months to realize. Starting in October 2016, students conducted research, participated in site visits, and held stakeholder interviews. After the first phase, Bland Hoke taught students the Stanford University's Design Thinking Process to evolve their concepts into solutions that ranged from practical to conceptual. The students then created prototypes and tested various solutions, culminating in the development of highly innovative final design concepts. In March 2017, eight student teams presented their concepts to a panel of Grand Teton National Park, Subaru and National Parks Conservation Association staff that selected two final projects to build. Students then spent the final months of school fabricating their designs with professional guidance from Hoke in order to achieve a high level of quality and ensure that local engineering standards were met.
The creative partnership equipped students with in-depth knowledge of the waste stream in the National Park and Teton County, and engaged students as ambassadors of the park. The students were empowered to use art, design and technology to address current issues in a proactive manner, as well as get introduced to a variety of professions.
Grand Teton National Park is one of three national parks working with Subaru of America on a Zero Landfill Initiative. Through this initiative, Subaru is sharing its knowledge of zero landfill practices with the national parks and working towards a goal of significantly reducing waste going into landfills.
Note: Participating student quotes
"My favorite thing about this project is that I am making something that revolves around art and design instead of my first idea of just making a different type of recycling bin. I've started thinking outside the box and have found a way to show how recycling can be turned into a very fun and alluring piece of art. It shows the public that the materials they recycle can be used to create something that you wouldn't expect."
– Raegin, Student at Jackson Hole High School
"Our favorite thing about this project is how it makes people think about and understand that they can make a choice when they go and recycle their materials in the park." – Ashley, Vinny, Gage, Gus, Students at Jackson Hole High School

SANDPOINT — After stepping up a weight class in one-sided losses to 5A Post Falls and 4A Greater Spokane League University to start the season, the Bulldogs will finally pick on someone their own size, facing Raymond High School on Friday night with an early 6 p.m. kickoff at Barlow Stadium.
The Bulldogs (0-2) will look to bounce back by starting quicker, as both losses got out of hand early, and will have to adjust to Canadian rules in regards to running backs and receivers moving at the snap.
First year head coach Ryan Knowles has been preaching a quicker start to his team all week.
"Don't lose it early so you can win it late. We can win a game late if we can begin the darn thing," said Knowles, whose team hasn't shown any quit despite the tough losses. "The kids are hard workers. We care about each other, make sure we're doing things the right way. I want these kids to love the game as much as I do."
The Comets (2-0) play in Tier 1 in Alberta, the top class that is akin to 5A in Idaho, and own early wins over Edmonton teams Bellerose and Salisbury, scoring 64 points and allowing 19.
The teams will play 11 versus 11 at all times, unlike the 12 man Canadian brand, and all American rules in special teams and on defense. For those unfamiliar with the Canadian offensive game, it will look odd with receivers and backs sprinting toward the line of scrimmage at the snap.
The two teams played last year, with Sandpoint winning 35-30 on the strength of three second half rushing touchdowns from Declan Plummer in a backup quarterback role, a strip sack and touchdown return by linebacker Payton Cox and two interception by then safety Alex Stockton.
Comets head coach Darryl Salmon, who is also the school's vice principal and athletic director, relishes the chance to cross the border and pop the pads.
"We always try to get American competition once a year. We enjoy the competitiveness that we get, it's different than up here, the intensity is a little more," described Salmon. "Football is very important in our community. It's a great thing to come down and feel that and be part of that."
A bright spot last week was the Bulldogs trimming their penalties from 13 to just two, and the special teams play was excellent, with Payton Cox booming punts, solid coverage and Dillan Mitton and Christian Niemela giving the offense good starting position in the kick return game.
University had a pair of 300 pound offensive linemen, and a typically fast and physical front seven, but Knowles felt his team beat itself with early turnovers offensively and too many chunk plays allowed defensively.
"When we made them beat us, we did OK. We gave up eight plays of 25 plus yards. We need to make teams throw the ball, and keep the dang thing in front of us," claimed Knowles, who hopes to get back to power football tonight. "We have to establish a run game. Here's our run game, deal with this until they figure things out."
Kickoff was moved up an hour to 6 p.m. at Barlow Stadium to accommodate the long bus ride for Raymond.
n Wampus Cats host Knights in North Star League clash tonight
CLARK FORK — The Wampus Cats impressed in a rout of league rival Kootenai last week, and will look to notch another league win and get a leg up in the playoff race tonight when Lakeside comes to town.
Lakeside (0-2) has lost to Kendrick and Wallace, but both are much bigger teams and last year they took down the Cats. Clark Fork can take command of the league race with a win, with only Mullan left to play.
Kickoff is at 7 p.m. in Clark Fork.

I am feeling like I could sleep for 1,000 years. I am pretty exhausted from all of the traveling around and the hard work, and am really looking forward to being back in England by the end of the week. Right now I am sat in Seoul Airport about to fly to Osaka. Once there, I have a night in an airport hotel, before flying back to Germany.
Seoul was interesting, but I am mixed about what experience I am going to write up here. Perhaps I will do it on the plane. I know that there is a lot of work to do.
My blog had 102 hits yesterday, which is a record!

Dog Walker Tayport UK
Dog Walker Tayport, Scotland: Now there could be a number of reasons why you end up hunting for a local dog walker in Tayport, you might be away working the entire day and quite simply don't have any spare time for walking your dog, it may be that you are not well and you are not fit enough to walk your dog, or you could be simply just idle and would prefer to hire somebody else to take your dog for a walk.
Well thankfully you can find lots of dog walkers out there enthusiastic to do just that. Actually you should be able to get hold of folk in Tayport who will not just walk your dog but additionally carry out various other doggy and pet activities, for example dog whispering, dog to vet services, cat visits, dog sitting, dog and pet taxi services and small animal care.
Finding a Local Tayport Dog Walker: Despite the fact that we of course all cherish our pet dogs and treat them like they are one of the family, we often don't have ample time to give them the care that they need, in particular with regards to exercise and walking. With our hectic work commitments, children to take care of and social calendar to keep up with it's not always an easy task to fit in walking the dog, as regularly as you would like or as much as they need.
Now I reckon that all of you recognise that your dog needs to have plenty of exercise and it is important that you take your dog for walks consistently, both for your dog's overall good health and wellbeing and for fitness reasons. it is always better if you do it yourself as you'll be able to obtain very similar health benefits as your dog does, getting all important exercise and fresh air. Also there is the benefit of bonding, enjoying activities together helps you to build up a relationship with your pet. In the real world however, many of us just cannot spare the time to take the dog for a walk, certainly not once or twice a day, and this is one of those chores that can easily be overlooked.
Now this is certainly where a local Tayport dog walker might be a God send, supplying a consistent dog walking service on a daily basis, taking the pressure of at least one daily duty and allowing you more time to do demanding stuff. A dog walker will go to your home in Tayport, collect your pet and walk it for perhaps an hour or more. It can be daily, three or four times a week, or perhaps just on the odd days when you have more important responsibilities or are too busy.
Certain Tayport dog walkers will walk your dog solo, other services could take dogs out in groups, so you might like to discuss your exact needs with a potential dog walker should you have any misgivings. If you have a dog that is gregarious and is happy to mix with other dogs, a group walk may perhaps be more beneficial, but if your dog doesn't get on well with other dogs, a solo, one to one walk may be best.
Several professional Tayport dog walkers could be able to offer alternative services not solely for dogs, for example they might visit your house daily to feed your dog or small pets, provide dog board and lodging whenever you are on your holidays, give your dog or puppy some basic training if needed or collect your dog or pet and taxi it to the vets. Others may even be able to provide a dog grooming service as well. Such services may be very helpful and provide a complete pet care service which gives peace of mind in relation to the wellbeing, happiness and health of all your animals and pets, while still letting you socialize, look after your family and work.
Using a dog walker in Tayport should never totally take the place of your own personal relationship with your furry friend though, you should still try to take your dog out walking as often as is possible, to retain that bond and relationship. You really should be a fundamental part of their exercise and training regimen to guarantee that your treasured pet stays content, adored and healthy.
The Benefits of Dog Walking: There are an assortment of positive effects that a dog gains from being walked and exercised on a regular basis such benefits include: improved cardiovascular fitness, reduced blood pressure, obesity control, stronger muscles and bones, better mental health and wellbeing, decreased loneliness and bonding improvements.
How Much Does it Cost?: Just like any services, the prices for dog walking may vary quite a lot, depending on the kind of service required, the amount of time spent on each walk, the town in which you live and whether it is a group or one to one walk (group walks tend to be cheaper), but as a rough guide you should expect to pay between £9 and £14 for a sixty minute walk with hugs and kisses included.
Things to Bear in Mind: Of course as there aren't any qualifications or certifications for dog walking, just about any Tom, Dick or Harriet can set up shop as a dog walker and begin running that service, therefore you need to be very mindful with regards to who you pick to walk your dog in Tayport. There might be security worries since you could be permitting access to your home for them to be able to pick up the dog or check up on your pets. You'll have more faith in any dog walkers who have passed a DBS police check (Disclosure and Barring Service check). You might in addition wish to see whether your prospective Tayport dog walker has some insurance, just in case there any mishaps involving your dog, having some form of public liability insurance would certainly be suitable. It might also be a good idea if any potential dog walker has a meeting with your dog first so as to ensure that that they will get on together.
Setting Yourself up as a Dog Walker in Tayport: If you are keen on dogs, enjoy being out in the elements and do not mind a bit of exercise, setting yourself up as a dog walker in Tayport might be the career for you. You should not imagine for one moment that dog walking is the easy route to prosperity, because it's not, and there are certainly limits to what you can expect to earn, especially to begin with, however if you are unemployed at the moment, just exploring ideas for a different occupation or miserable in your present job, then dog walking might be just the career for you.
Prior to starting a business you need to do some market research, you'll want to figure out if there is a demand for dog walkers in the area, check just how many dog walkers are presently in business close to you, figure out just what existing dog walkers are receiving for these services, figure out if there are appropriate areas for walking a dog, find out whether there are any local council bylaws relating to walking dogs and any additional germane information that comes to mind. Get as many facts as you can before you think about shelling out any cash getting a business set up.
To begin with it would be sensible to walk dogs owned by pals, neighbours, family members or work colleagues, as a way to make sure that you are going to like being a dog walker. Provide this on a voluntary basis and once you ultimately get started as a real business, these start up "clients" might turn into paying customers and make up a fledgling round.
Its important that you have ample money put by to last several months without having to rely on your earnings from dog walking, it isn't certain to take off right away and you may have to be patient in cultivating a client base. It could take as much as 12 months to develop a proper round and even then, your income may not be enough to survive on. You could start off on a part-time basis until you become established.
Be certain that you get an adequate insurance policy, accidents do occur and you don't want to be crippled by lawsuits when they do. You will discover insurance coverage aimed specifically at dog walkers, do some research online and locate a nice policy.
Its easy to get an idea of what to charge from anyone locally already running a dog walking service in Tayport, it is a good idea to set your rates at a similar amount and you shouldn't try to charge less than all the others, simply in order to steal their customers. Try to offer prospective customers extra services for the same price to stand out from the crowd.
Tayport Dog Walkers And What They Do
Dog Walker Tayport: There are not surprisingly a vast assortment of undertakings which you might require a local Tayport dog walker for, and directly below we have detailed merely a selection of the most common reasons you might have to look for the expertise of a dog walker in Tayport, Scotland.

Dog Walker Tayport Scotland - Tips and Hints for Picking One: Among the dated yet still well used approaches to track down a dog walker in Tayport is by wading through web business directories, local newspapers or local directories, so you could have a look at some of the better business directories such as Yell, Mister What, Touch Local, Local Life, Cyclex, Yelp, Thomson Local, 118 118 or City Visitor although anybody could have a listing in these directories meaning there is little guarantee of the credibility of any individual Tayport dog walker, therefore you will be relying on good fortune with this particular solution.
There are several ways by which you might track down a professional Tayport dog walker and you might apply all or any of them to find the very best Tayport dog walker for the task: 1. Look on one of several trades sites where people post reviews for dog walkers who've completed jobs for them previously, 2. Look at the business directories, local newspapers, Yellow Pages or leaflets put through your front door, 3. Check with close friends, workmates, family or maybe even neighbours to ascertain if they may advocate a dog walker in Tayport who they have used recently and who did a great job.
Looking on on Google: In this day and age the popular way to track down a dog walker in Tayport is by using the internet. Sometimes even this technique is fraught with difficulties, because you need to sift through exactly what results are relevant to the phrase you entered. Being as accurate as you can is the right approach whenever conducting a search on Yahoo or Google, most of us may just enter "dog walker Tayport" or "Tayport dog walker", this may give confused results mostly from a number of of the well known web directories such as Yell and Thomson, yet what might not be quite so evident to you is that the first two or three search results are pay per click adverts, to put it clearly someone will have paid a fee to gain that position and possibly they won't be suitable for your needs or even a local business, so you need to ignore these advertisements and scroll down the results. Some of the search results might also be from job websites offering dog walker jobs in Tayport, these can of course be disregarded.
From time to time results for the website of a real dog walker in Tayport will show up on page one of the search results, look very closely and you may be able to spot them, click on pages two or three and you will probably come across a better proportion of actual Tayport dog walkers. You should try being more precise, for instance, if you're a woman living independently you may favour hunting for a lady dog walker, in which case your search phrase could be "lady dog walker Tayport", or you could possibly try "dog walking Tayport", "dog walker near me in Tayport" or "dog sitter Tayport". You might also bear in mind that not every dog walker in Tayport will possess a website, so another excellent tactic is to search for some hidden gems in the business listings situated under the map on almost all of the search engines, whenever you do this type of search.

Writer Kind
More than anything, stumbling upon this question launched some big thinking. Questions I haven't attended to in a long time. Lots of self-criticism. Lots of other-criticism. About authenticity and what it means to actually write. What it means to be 'a writer'. More so, not what kind of writer am I? But more importantly, Why do I write?

The brewing storm
Jaymie Stuart Wolfe
As we approach Holy Week, there is something quite powerful about still being in the grip of winter's last gasps. The truth is that the cold does not go easily: not in nature, and not in the human heart.
Ironic, isn't it, that the first days of spring are full of predictions and hype about yet another snowstorm? Three significant nor'easters within two weeks were rough; we certainly do not need a fourth. But the fact that they've all happened in March makes it worse. I mean, what are we supposed to do, break out into a stirring rendition of "I'm Dreaming of a White Easter"? Winter is long enough, and the last thing anyone wants or needs is more snow.
I imagine that it is quite similar to how the disciples of Jesus felt just before Holy Week began. Things had been going so well. Sure, they had weathered a few difficulties and challenges: the death of John the Baptizer, the Pharisees' entrapping questions, the constant press of people and their needs. But the crowds had grown larger and larger; the miraculous healings had become increasingly astonishing; and it seemed that the obstacles they had encountered were just bumps in the road. Yes, there would always be critics. But there was nowhere to go but up. Jesus had everything -- and everyone -- in the palm of his hand.
Those poor fishermen had no idea of the storm that was brewing in Jerusalem. None at all. It's likely they experienced Palm Sunday as proof positive that all their expectations would be fulfilled just as they had hoped. For them, it must have felt like the first day of a new spring. What they got instead was everything they didn't expect: betrayal, arrest, denial, conviction, and crucifixion. In other words, they got what they needed from Jesus, rather than what they wanted from him. The glory they hoped to witness was replaced by the salvation they couldn't even begin to imagine.
Sometimes, when life seems like it is becoming warmer and brighter, the storms beneath the surface are brewing unseen. Spring doesn't really come because a calendar says it's here. There are times when winter lingers, and when storms follow on each other in quick succession. There are times when things don't go the way we anticipate or hope they will. There are times when the currents we've been counting on suddenly change course.
But when the storms keep rolling in, it isn't because God has abandoned us to the storms. Remember, he is the master of the wind and waves. Even they obey his command. Instead, God weathers the storms with us. He stands beside us in the rain and snow and wind and cold. He remains with us through the winter, however long, and leads us into a spring that will never end.
As we approach Holy Week, there is something quite powerful about still being in the grip of winter's last gasps. The truth is that the cold does not go easily: not in nature, and not in the human heart. It retreats beneath the surface, where some of the biggest storms we experience brew and gain their strength. And when those storms erupt, we often make the mistake of assuming that what God allows in our lives isn't going to work for our good. That simply isn't the case.
God will be generous, not because we ask him to be, but because he is. But if we want to experience the goodness of God, we will need to set aside our desire to be comfortable. When we are able to do that, we may begin to see that God's goodness is beyond what we can imagine. So let the storms brew. God is gracious nonetheless. Let the winds blow and the rain and snow fall. Spring will follow winter as surely as Easter follows the cross.

Blood boils during �The Twilight Saga: New Moon.�
The heat isn�t generated by the creatures of the night on the screen.
It comes from the excited tween and teen girls in the audience.
Taylor Lautner, 17, who plays the werewolf Jacob Black, appears shirtless on the screen and flashes his washboard abs. The actor pretty much steals the PG-13 picture from co-stars Kristen Stewart, 19, and Robert Pattinson, 23, as the stressed mortal Bella Swan and the tortured vampire Edward Cullen, respectively.
At a preview showing of the highly anticipated sequel, hundreds of young ladies in the audience erupted with nervous giggles, appreciative applause and sounds of approval for Lautner. He gained 30 pounds of muscle for the role, and on screen, the teen performer reveals his chest and turns himself into enough cinematic eye candy to fill Hershey Park.
�New Moon,� the second installment in Stephenie Meyer�s wildly popular four-book, fantasy-romance series, is basically a love triangle revolving around Edward, Bella and Jacob. Edward worries that his vampirism will destroy his beloved Bella, and he leaves her to live in Italy, though his spirit sometimes appears to give her advice, strength and chills up her spine.
At home, Bella no longer has Edward to save her from enemies, a task assumed by Jacob. His ability to transform into a snarling werewolf allows him to protect Bella, and though the young woman appreciates his guardian-angel efforts, her heart still longs for the love of her life, Edward.
�New Moon� ranks as a for-fans-only title. It�s hard to imagine anyone not a �Twi�-hard (as devoted fans have been nicknamed) buying the slow pacing, flat dialogue and lackluster visuals.
For the fans, such elements pale in comparison to watching the three attractive young stars on the screen in a non-threatening tale in which the characters long for intimate relations but never act on them. That�s all fine, but director Chris Weitz (�The Golden Compass�) might have improved this glum installment by adding some levity to ease the tension.
Poor Pattinson, who has became an international heartthrob thanks to �Twilight,� drifts through the film with little to do. The handsome actor, who looks frighteningly pale and frail here, remains a background figure while the youthful Lautner enjoys a showcase role.
Like Pattinson, the talented Stewart seems slightly trapped in a part that forces her to deliver lines such as, �Hello, biceps!� (when she first sees Lautner�s abs of steel) �and �So, you�re a werewolf!� (also to Lautner).
�New Moon� wrestles with some issues � particularly whether Bella should be bitten so she can spend eternity with Edward � from the original and has many of the supporting performers returning.
�Twilight Saga� fans will be glad to contemplate the sequel�s themes about life, love, commitment, sex and sacrifice. However, average filmgoers unfamiliar with the series may find this follow-up as welcome as a vampire bite or a werewolf attack.
�The Twilight Saga: New Moon�
Grade: B (for �Twi�-hard fans only)
Starring: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner; screenplay by Melissa Rosenberg, based on the novel by Stephenie Meyer; directed by Chris Weitz.
Running Time: 130 minutes.
Parental Guide: PG-13 rating (violence, thematic elements).�
