Issues at Glance – The Toronto Car Tax
Taxes. One of those few single words a politician will inevitably utter which is sure to draw attention from voters. We all pay them, acknowledge that the revenue which they generate will make society better, but, push come to shove, we'd really rather pay less of them. Everyone has a position on taxes. Although the taxman will never get his dues from smiling faces, if you convince us the taxes are fair, we will hand they money over with little resistance. The main issues with taxation arise when the levies are perceived to be either unfair or simply too heavy. In walks the Personal Vehicle Tax (PVT).
How Much Is This Costing Me?
The Personal Vehicle Tax or the Toronto Car Tax, as some call it, is a municipal vehicle registration fee which was officially launched on September 1st, 2008 by authority of the City Of Toronto Act. Under the tax, the owner of a vehicle is charged an additional fee upon their annual registration. The fee is $60 for cars and $30 for motorcycles (commercial and "classic" vehicles are granted an exemption). The justification for the tax was that Toronto already suffers from a structural budget deficit and that the additional revenue generated would go towards transportation infrastructure. The tax was initially projected to bring in $56 million, with last year taking in $46 million in additional revenue.
Toronto City Council passed the bill on October 22, 2007 by a 25-20 vote. Councillors, however, were not the only Torontonains who were divided on the issue. The tax was lobbied against by the Toronto Automobile Dealers Association as well as several other consumer groups. A great deal of the public's opposition derived from sentiments that Toronto car owners were already subject to enough vehicle-related taxes.
Taxes For a New Car Buyer
- Goods and Services Tax (GST) – 5%
- Provincial Sales Tax (PST) – 8%
- Gas Guzzler Tax – $75-$7000
- Air Conditioner Tax – $100
- Yearly Vehicle Validation Fee – $74 (car)
- + new Personal Vehicle Tax (PVT) – $60 (car)
– For the average $30 000 new car, the purchaser would have to pay an additional $4 309 in taxes.
In addition to these taxes and the tax on mandatory car insurance, federal and provincial taxes account for roughly 1/3 of the cost of gas at the pump. This means that for an individual purchasing $60 of gas a week translating to $3 120/year, about $1 030 of that cost is paid as a tax. These figures do not account for "taxes" garnished from parking meters (You only have yourself to blame for those parking tickets so don't try to pass it on).
What You Get, and What You Don't
Any rational car owner will recognize all of the freebies they have received when it comes to driving. The average driver on the road today purchased their heavily taxed vehicles, filled them up with highly taxed gas and pulled out on to a series of roads and highways which cost countless billions of dollars forked over by a collective society long before that driver was born. No driver truly believes that they are exempt from this "deal" and understand the need to pay it forward. That is why, for the most part, taxes related to driving are seen as being fair and are handed over, again, with little resistance.
The new Personal Vehicle Tax just doesn't fit into this equation for two reasons:
- The additional tax revenue generated is not specifically earmarked for driving related concerns such as road maintenance and congestion alleviation.
- Even if it were directed towards these issues, only vehicle owners residing in Toronto proper are subject to the tax. A huge percentage of drivers on the streets and motorways within Toronto reside in the 905 suburbs and beyond. These users, who regularly contribute to traffic congestion and the degradation of transit infrastructure, should in some way contribute to related funds.
A City Facing Some Problems
Regardless of your opinion on the tax in question, traffic related issues remain a huge concern in this city and, as well, the municipality's structural deficit requires swift attention. The fact remains that 71% of the region's population is car-dependent. Simply put; people need to drive places and the infrastructure that supports that need must be maintained. At the same time, congestion within the city is not just a matter of annoyance but has economical ramifications as well. It is estimated that the loss in productivity caused by traffic congestion, costs Torontonians $2 billion per annum.
Another Way?
There are many alternative solutions, albeit with higher degrees of complexity, than a blanket fee. Several cities around the word have experimented with and have implemented varying forms of congestion control including commercial vehicle taxes and user fees (most notably in London, England). It is in these places where Toronto City Council should look for more than just a band-aid solution. Mayor David Miller, who was one of the main proponents of the PVT, has also advocated toll roads as a viable means.
Get Informed
This issue is already a point of contention for the upcoming Toronto Municipal Election. Rob Davis, candidate for Ward 15, has launched publicity campaigns against the tax. As far as Mayoral candidates are concerned, George Simtherman has stated that he is against the tax and is open to toll road discussion, however, is neither for nor against the use of tolls. Both Giorgio Mammoliti and Joe Pantalone voted in favour of the tax. Rocco Rossi has also yet to take a position and former candidate Adam Giambrone also voted for the tax.

COMPUTER FUN ~ How Well Do You Know Your Geography??
How well do you know your World Geography? Back in 1989, I convocated with a Bachelor of Arts degree with a Major in English and a Minor in Geography, so I thought I knew something about the topic. But last night, when I was looking online for math games to play with Alisdair to reinforce his numeracy, I discovered I knew a whole lot less than I gave myself credit for.
We found a site called "Cool Math" and, in addition to various puzzles and games to assist pupils with that subject, there were also other things posted.
One of the things we found we several "Snap Maps". We started with a game featuring the 50 States. The outline of a state would pop up and you were given four choices to choose from to provide the proper name of that particular shaped piece of the map. Some were easy (like Hawaii and Alaska), while others (like the New England States) were pretty complicated.
Then we found a "Snap Map" of Canada. Of course, being Canadian and having such large portions for most of the provinces and territories, we were able to complete the task very quickly. Next, Alisdair and I decided we should do the map of Europe! That was a completely different ball game . . . Do you realize how small Litchtenstein really is? You could hardly click on the tiny green shred representing that country! And the countries in the Balkans were really difficult to piece together, too. Slovakia? Croatia? Tricky, indeed!
Like the Canadian map, the one for Australia is also fairly easy. Then I tried South America and on to Asia... again unbelievably tiny pieces for countries like Oman and Kuwait, or Lebanon and Israel. You know countries like Laos exist, but where exactly ARE they?? I persevered and eventually got all the pieces snapped in and the clock stopped but the minutes had added up to a ridiculous total. I didn't even try to do the map of Africa!
This is a website we will be bookmarking as I am sure we can learn a lot more about the world around us if we try to become more familiar with Geography facts. I'm just glad my old professors weren't around to witness my struggle with the various "Snap Maps."
Try your hand at some of the maps and leave us a comment about how you managed! Good luck . . .

St. John doesn't have an airport, so most travelers fly to St. Thomas (just two miles from St. John by water) and take a ferry over from one of two ports. From the St. Thomas airport, a 15-minute taxi ride takes you to the ferry dock in downtown Charlotte Amalie, for a 45-minute ferry ride to St. John. Or, a 45-minute taxi ride will take you to Red Hook, for a 20-minute ferry ride over. The ferry from Charlotte Amalie runs every two hours (9:00am - 5:30), while the Red Hook ferry departs hourly (6:00 am to 12 midnight).
While the ferries are usually punctual, be prepared to take a deep breath, relax, and enjoy the slower pace of "island time." The ferry is part of island culture, so why not take a seat outside and enjoy the ocean spray? Just don't forget your sunscreen!
Many of the taxis are open-air in trolley style, so sit back and take in the spectacular views as you make your way along the curves of the one main road. To cut back on traffic and avoid wasting time on return journeys, you'll find most taxi drivers will wait until their cab is full before departing.
Cyril E King Airport, St Thomas' modern facility (with two bare-bones restaurants, a shop and ATM), are served by flights from (and via) Puerto Rico, as well as several cities in the continental US:

Tea Party Represents America, Not Occupy Wall Street
For years, I have been impressed with this young man I see working at Walmart retrieving shopping carts in the parking lot. He is challenged, I suspect from birth, with a physical disability involving an arm and a leg. I saw him leaving work one evening in his car. While I do not know his living situation, I do know he has a job and drives what I assume is his own car.
Looking at this young man hobbling around doing his job, one could think, "Why isn't this poor soul home collecting disability?" He obviously prefers the dignity which accompanies earning his own money. Thus, the reason for my utmost respect for him.
Then, I look at the Occupy Wall Street protesters, all demanding freebies while claiming ownership of the fruit of other folk's labor. And the left expects me to respect and sympathize with these parasites.
The liberal media, the left, and the Obama administration are trying to convince us these arrogant Occupy Wall Street protesters represent the thinking of most Americans. If their premise were true, we would be in deep, deep trouble as a nation. Fortunately, these mobs are NOT a majority.
Like parents who are in denial protecting a juvenile delinquent child, the left is doing everything in their power to portray these Occupy Wall Street thugs in a positive light. Meanwhile, the left remains relentless in their quest to slander the tea party with false undocumented accusations of racism and violence.
The tea party movement which is driven by "We The People" is the polar opposite of the far left organizations funded Occupy Wall Street assault on Capitalism and America. How dare they compare themselves to the dignified tea party.
As a tea party activist/performer who has traveled on five Tea Party Express national bus tours, I have attended over 300 tea parties. I can assure you the well-informed, hard working and decent people who attend tea parties represent the thinking of a majority of Americans, not the Occupy Wall Street mobs.
While Occupy Wall Street participants trash, vandalize, and disrespect public parks and government buildings, we tea party patriots leave our rally sites the way we found them or cleaner. The Tea Party is inspired by love for America and a desire to follow our Constitution. It is also in rebellion of political correctness and about restoring values and principles which have made America great. Tea Party goals are far superior to Occupy Wall Street which proclaims, "You rich guys have too much and we're takin' it!"
Occupy Wall Street is nothing more than a vile amalgam of class envy, covetousness, and hatred of achievers.

We live on the corner of Chula Senda Lane and Georgian Road in La Cañada.
Coming south on Georgian, past the fire station, there is a completely blind curve — there are dense bushes right next to the curb, making it impossible to see more than three feet in front of you. Traveling east on Georgian there is a steep hill and you cannot see the street at the bottom of the hill for about 20 yards.
The steepness of the hill makes it a big draw for skateboarders.
For about a year now, we've had a growing faction of young boys getting together almost every day practicing their skateboarding skills on this corner. I've stopped several times to warn them of the danger, and I've seen many other drivers stop as well.

What is Elixir, and what does it can be used for?
Elixir Resource is used to train and upgrade troops. It is also used to upgrade Barrack, Dark Barrack, Laboratory, Spell, Spell Factory, Army Camp and use as ammo for X-Bow.
How can I obtain Elixir?
There are 3 ways to obtain Elixir. First is using Gems to instantly buy it. Second is loot from other players or Goblin campaign. And the third is collecting from your own Elixir Collector.
|These storages contain the elixir pumped from underground. Upgrade them to increase the maximum amount of elixir you can store.
Capacity = 1500
Hit Points = 400
Available loot = 20% and capped at 198,000 (without any loot modifier)
Attacker can steal 20% of the amount in Elixir Storage but not more than total of 198,000 combined from all Elixir Storages.
Should I upgrade Elixir Storage to max level?
Yes, you should. More Storage capacity allow you to save lots of Elixir for the next upgrade, and also increase hit points of the Storage making it last longer from attack.
Should I build additional Elixir Storage as soon as the new one is available?
Not necessary, this depends on your play style and your village defense tactics.
At Town Hall level 8, should I have 2 or 3 Elixir Storages?
From Town Hall level 3 to level 7, you should have 2 Elixir Storages. When you upgrade Town Hall to level 8, you will have an option to build additional Elixir Storage.
Building third Elixir Storage allow you to store more Elixir, this is great for player who have lots of time to play enough to loot millions of Elixir from other players. 3 Elixir Storages also fit with separated compartment tactics. Attacker need to break more Walls or attack from different direction to get to all 3 Elixir Storages. And because available loot from Elixir Storage are capped at 198,000 Elixir, losing 1 from 3 Elixir Storages means losing only 66,000 Elixir (instead of 99,000 Elixir by losing 1 from 2 Elixir Storages).
Having said that, to play with only 2 Elixir Storages has its own benefit. Basically, needless to protect more Storage, your base will be more compact with better defense coverage. While it is against Advanced Defense Tactics, if you have enough splash damage against Goblins, it is viable to put all Storages together for all or nothing tactics.
This tactics can be applied to Town Hall level 9 which ask whether they should build forth Elixir Storages or not.
Elixir Storage Tactics
Defense Tactics
1) Separate Elixir Storages in different compartment. Make attacker to destroy more Walls in order to get to all Storages.
2) When your Elixir Storages are empty, you can put Elixir Storage outside as a buffer to slow down attacker.
On the other hand, at some point, you may encounter Elixir overflow which is you have full Elixir Storages with nothing to upgrade using Elixir. You may put Elixir Storage outside as a buffer to slow down attacker, or as a bait to lure attackers then revenge them later.
3) At high trophy range where you prefer trophy over Resource, because Elixir Storage has high hit point (2,016 at level 11), you can use Elixir Storage as a buffer to slow down attacker.
Attack Tactics
1) Take into account how many Elixir Storages you will be able to destroy. When you see available loot of 198,000 Elixir but your troop can get to only 2 of 4 Elixir Storages, it means your loot will be only 99,000 Elixir. Therefore, it may be better to attack village with less loot but guarantee to get to all Storages.
2) Don't get so hasty when you see Elixir Storage exposed outside Walls. It may be empty and Elixir is actually in the Elixir Collectors instead, so don't forget to check whether it is Abandoned Village.
3) Carry few Minions. Sometimes Minion can destroy free Elixir Storage without Air Defense or Archer Tower around. Or after big wave of your attack, Elixir Storage may exposed to your Minion allow for easy grab.

if you follow me on instagram, you may have noticed the frequent "caturday" post featuring our beloved kittens, edison & dahlia aka eddie & dolly.
i never knew i loved cats so much until these cats came into my life. they are a brother and sister duo from the same litter. last summer, ryan and i got the fluffiest, cutest tiny babies! now, they are almost 10 months old and they've grown like crazy. eddie, who is a tabby, is way bigger than dolly, who is a siamese/tabby mix.
these two have an affinity for hot fires, warm sunshine, kitty food, playing with mini whiffle balls, and the best, sweetest snuggles, ever. eddie is a total mama's boy. he is my big fat baby. whereas, dolly has chosen ryan for her favorite snuggle buddy. she is the most tolerant cat i've ever met, like a noodle when you pick her up, she just melts from love.
i love these kittens so much! i think we really do have the sweetest, most well-tempered cats.

The missile corvette Zeleny Dol from Russia's Black Sea Fleet has arrived at Syria's second largest port, the fleet commander said Thursday.
"The Zeleny Dol arrived in Tartus yesterday as part of its mission. It will be relieved by the Serpukhov," Adm. Alexander Vitko said at a keel-laying ceremony for the Project-22160 Pavel Derzhavin patrol ship in Zelenodolsk, Sputnik reported.
Both the Zeleny Dol and the Serpukhov are Buyan-class corvettes designed by the Zelenodolsk Design Bureau. The missile version of a Buyan-class corvette is typically armed with Kalibr (SS-N-27) anti-ship missiles, 100-mm and 30-mm guns, as well as Igla-1M air defense missiles.
Last Saturday, the Zeleny Dol left its home port in Crimea's Sevastopol to join Russia's permanent naval task force in the Mediterranean.

For years Sacha Baron Cohen could get away with being the unknown comic infiltrator. Following acclaim for Da Ali G Show and the follow-up feature Ali G Indahouse, 2006's Borat was propelled to worldwide box office takings of over a quarter of a billion dollars. The joy of the film was the fact it found that balance between a few carefully staged elements and complete and utter mayhem at the hands of an unwitting American public who were oblivious to the fact that it was all a joke.
Cohen tried the trick again with 2009's Brüno, but with less success, both critically and commerically. With starring roles in Talladega Nights, Sweeney Todd and Hugo, the Brit had unwittingly become one of American comedy's most familiar faces and could no longer perform his sabotage style of comedy on an unwitting public. So after the varying successes of his three character-based spoofs, it's no great surprise to see him bring his new character of The Dictator to a regularly scripted feature film.
With frequent collaborator and Curb Your Enthusiasm/Seinfeld alumni Larry Charles directing and sharing a script-writing credit with Cohen once again you can get a good sense of the absurd tone of the film. Cohen's dictator General Aladeen, ruler of the fictitious North African Republic of Wadiya is loosely based on the exploits of the ever-stylish Libyan ruler Muammar Gaddafi. The setup for the film sees Aladeen travelling to New York to address the United Nations after being threatened with sanctions after pursuing a nuclear arms development strategy. The only problem rests with his jealous uncle Tamir, played by Cohen's Hugo co-star Ben Kingsley, who attempts to kill Aladeen and replace him with his body-double. Aladeen escapes and finds solace in the company of Anna Faris' eco-warrior Zoe.
While we're treated to fun cameos from John C. Reilly, Megan Fox, Fred Armisen and Chris Parnell keep things interesting but the undisputed highlight here is Faris. She's one of Hollywood's most gifted comic actors and yet always seems to end up brightening up terrible projects like Yogi Bear, What's Your Number? or The House Bunny. When she gets a good role, like her part in Observe and Report, the world tends to ignore it. Such is life.
So the big question is whether The Dictator is actually funny and therefore worth shelling out for on a Friday night. And while it may sound like a cop-out, it really does depend on your perspective. Cohen's humour is incredibly divisive and you either buy into his juvenile, crass style or you don't, and this isn't going to change your opinion. Personally I think he's a very funny man and one of the best character actors working today, this film affirms that belief.
The film is really preposterous and tasteless at times, but unlike the controversy shit-storm that followed Borat no one is really going to take offence here because it's all so damned silly. You could keep a checklist of the minority groups that are in the firing line, but really it's better to just let it all slide and laugh it off.
But while the jokes and setups are funny and well-written and the relationship with Faris' Zoey does reveal a little bit of heart in the film, the reality is there's not a lot of substance to the film. Cohen and Charles are both articulate, intelligent men but they've taken the approach of writing a comedy film that will appeal to everyone without any pretense of political or social commentary. And in an age of films continually trying to be cleverer than they really are, that's absolutely fine by me.

text: Say hello to newlyweds Steph and Justin! This was a really fun wedding I shot tonight (with my buddy Stacy) over at Como Conservatory. I met this couple almost two years ago when they started planning their big day (remember that lovely engagement photo?). In fact, they were the third wedding I ever booked! They have been waiting for Justin to finish up law school before tying the knot, and with as much time and emails and visits as we have had, they felt like old friends getting married, and it was such a fun day.

Oh look, I'm in Rangefinder
This morning I was texting with a photographer friend who mentioned something about "talk about what you mentioned in your Rangefinder article." In typical me fashion, my response was "huh?" And then "oh yeah I did an interview with them" but I had yet to actually see an article nor could I remember when it would be published. But apparently it is in print in the current issue and so I immediately had to go find the article so that I could read about myself…mostly to make sure that I didn't say anything stupid or otherwise publicly humiliate myself. And I was very glad that there seem to be no immediate or obvious reasons for embarrassment. And therefore I am happy to share it here. Click here to go to the article if you want to actually read the words.
RANDOM STORY ALERT: Just in case anyone questions why my default reaction to a magazine article would be to brace myself for public humiliation, I would like to reference an event in high-school when I was interviewed by the local paper after a lacrosse game. I was on a championship team and although I was not exactly a star player, I did get particularly lucky one day and scored a bunch of goals. Woohoo, go me. So after the game they let me talk to the local newspaper. A week later upon reading the one paragraph "article", what was sure to be my 15 minutes of fame and the pinnacle of my existence, I read my little quote in the Fairfax Connection. And whatever it was they claimed I had said (by now I have blocked out the specifics), was practically nonsense. It may not have even been English. "OMG, I didn't say that!" I was embarrassed. Because when you are 17, pretty much everything is horrifyingly embarrassing. Just ask my mom, she has plenty of stories. Actually, no don't ask my mom.

Walt Disney's Nine Old Men
The Flipbooks
Author: Pete Docter
- Hardcover: 1408 pages
- Publisher: Disney Editions; Gft Dlx edition (Mar 12 2013)
- Language: English
- Product Dimensions: 15.5 x 14.7 x 17 cm
- Shipping Weight: 2.7 Kg
- Price: $60.00 US / $60.00 CAN
This box set of nine flip books pays tribute to Walt Disney's original animators–the Nine Old Men: Les Clark, Eric Larson, Frank Thomas, John Lounsbery, Ward Kimball, Ollie Johnston, Mark Davis, Wolfgang Reitherman, and Milt Kahl. Each flip book features an iconic scene from an animated Disney feature in its original line-drawn form, having been selected from among a wide range of films for great movement and classic characters. The films include Alice In Wonderland, Dumbo, Fantasia, Peter Pan, Bambi, Lady and the Tramp, 101 Dalmatians, and Pinocchio. Such iconic clips from the reel of Disney animation history include: Lady and the Tramp's moonlit spaghetti dinner; Sorcerer Mickey's ordeal with a horde of mops; and Thumper's announcement that a prince has been born!
In addition to the flip books, the box contains a booklet providing additional information about the artists
This is a different kind of book set. It doesn't take more than a few minutes to flip through the nine books and to catch a glimpse of what an animator sees when proofing his work. But it's a few minutes well spent!
Pete Docter obviously put a lot of love into this publishing project and it shows. The introductory booklet provides a wonderful insight into each of the nine men featured along with a 'remembrance' from a modern animator currently working for Disney.
We've all heard of Walt Disney's nine old men, but now we can really get to know them!
Docter concludes the booklet with a section describing The Animation Process.
Again, this is a very special book set, and as such won't appeal to everyone. For the Disney or animation fan, it will be a welcome addition to any existing library. But it doesn't take long to flip through it, literally, and so some may question the value at $60.00 US.
I would give this release a 4 out of 5 stars, mainly because of the value issue for the general public. And even many Disney readers may end up looking at it once and rarely again. But for the Disney fan, obviously it will rate higher!
I'd like to thank Disney Publishing Worldwide for sending me this preview copy.

Taxes- Tolls and more- Why Certain people pay and others don't! Where is all the Money Gone to
Now I know this is a tough topic, But I have wanted to post this one for a while. There are a few things I want to mention in this blog about our taxes, tolls and more . I did mention my next couple of articles were bigger, well this is one of them.
So everyone knows that we pay taxes, well most everybody anyway, Which I think everyone should pay taxes no matter who you are, but I will get to that to. Anyway we pay State, Local and federal taxes, we pay property taxes and we pay sale taxes, luxury taxes and more. So I took the liberty to search on this and on E-How.Com http://www.ehow.com/info_7987574_services-do-taxes-pay.html this is what I came up with. According to E-How Federal Taxes are used to finance initiatives and programs like defense, security, war. They also finance social security payments, various health insurance and people in difficult times to. Like Medicaid, Medicare, and tax credit opportunities like (earned income or child tax credit). So why is it they say that there isn't any money, if you figure out how many people actually pay their taxes, that bothers me and then they want to try, or are trying to take away social security, what about our kids, and their kids and so on.
Next is State taxes and according to E-How it is income and sales tax, which is used to support education, state funded health care programs, and assistance for low-income families. It is also used supposedly to fix roads,transportation projects, and systems and funds the jails and correction facilities to. So now another point to make with all the people who do pay taxes and there is supposedly no money. Where is all this money gone to. because I don't see them fixing the roads, which the tolls go for the same thing to maintain the roads, bridges and more. I see roads that are so bad in need of fixing but never get done.
Then there is the Local taxes according to E-How includes property, sales tax and local income taxes. They finance local projects,including economic development, and resources to attract businesses and provide education and extracurricular activities in low-income neighborhoods and supports local area schools and maintain county and city parks. Now this to me is a joke, you know why because if I go to a town like Haverstraw, which is not as bad as Spring Valley or Monsey there is so much garbage there you couldn't find what you were looking for. They closed our Village police down which I think is the biggest mistake they made here in Haverstraw and they want to raise property taxes, why? because they don't have enough money. So I don't understand it, but I think they spend on unnecessary things that don't need to be done, instead of worrying about what needs to be done. I don't even feel safe in my town, even when they had the Village police dept. open. Oh and last but not least Garbage (Joke) and snow removal. You go to a place like Piermont in Nyack there is no garbage,so you can tell the towns that actually care what they look like, compared to others that don't care at all when you see that much garbage on the ground. Which this will be another topic I talk about separate.
One more thing I wanted to mention is that I think what they need to do is as far as budget goes, they should put the money for like education, libraries, roads, and more in an escrow acct and let it stay there , each separate acct that way not only is it there but it will earn at the same time. Stop making them waste equipment to for them to use the budget or lose it. There are people out there that have nothing and we as a nation waste so much. Another topic for another time.
If I knew that President Obama could or would read this I would say we need to stop wasting money on things we don't need to worry about like a stupid salt law or banning big drinks. Please we have more critical issues to worry about. I should become president LOL but HMMM !
check out this website it shows a chart of an example of what our taxes pay for. http://www.christiancentury.org/blogs/archive/2010-10/what-our-taxes-pay

Women Need to Take an Active Role in their Financial Lives!
Posted on May 05, 2018
Too often I have clients who have no idea what assets they really have. Their husbands took control of all financial aspects of their married life. However, it is important that you know what is going on in your life financially.
We handle divorce cases all the time where women do not learn of what assets they own until the case starts. And, even then, we have to run investigative searches to determine if their husband is hiding any money or assets.
Call our office if you are a woman contemplating divorce and want a lawyer who will stand up for your rights.

Time: 11:30AM – 4:30PM
Location: Below Buttonrock Reservoir
North Fork of St. Vrain Creek 03/30/2018
Steve and I returned from our wonderful trip to Wyoming on Thursday, March 22, and the weather returned to typical variable conditions with cool temperatures, a couple small snow accumulations in Denver, and high winds. I was quite anxious to get out on a stream before my scheduled skin procedure on Friday March 30. Jane and I skied on Tuesday, and the highs on Wednesday and Thursday barely reached fifty degrees. This translated to much lower temperatures at higher elevations, where I was likely to fish.
On Thursday I received a surprise call from the dermatology office, and my appointment was rescheduled for April 20. This provided me with a two week reprieve, and Friday now became an option for a day of fishing. The high in Denver was projected to peak in the low sixties, and I chose another trip to the North Fork of the St. Vrain. The forecast high in nearby Lyons was expected to top out at sixty-one, and I concluded that the small tailwater would be a better bet than other freestone options given the possibility of low elevation snow melt from the recent storms.
[peg-image src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-eJPe0sfimfM/Wr-UIJcHKrI/AAAAAAABaiM/RScIBD650XcE2Yo2RI_IFy1TsWeGhkSHgCCoYBhgL/s144-o/P3300001.JPG" href="https://picasaweb.google.com/108128655430094950653/6539108050220820817?locked=true#6539108051658943154″ caption="Pool at Starting Point" type="image" alt="P3300001.JPG" image_size="4608×3456″ ]
I took my time preparing on Friday morning, and I arrived at the parking lot below the gate by 10:45. I hustled to apply sunscreen, pull on my waders, and assembled my Orvis Access four weight; and this enabled me to hit the dirt road by 11AM. A thirty minute hike delivered me to a nice section of the stream, and I scrambled over some rocks and entered the creek. I began my quest for small North Fork brown trout with a size 8 fat Albert, beadhead hares ear nymph, and salvation nymph. These flies produced quite well on my previous visit to the St. Vrain.
Twenty minutes elapsed before I finally detected a pause in the fat Albert, but I reacted and landed a small brown trout to register my first fish of the day. I continued my progression upstream for another forty-five minutes, until I reached a long deep slow moving pool, and here I paused to eat my lunch behind a large streamside boulder that offered protection from the gusting wind.
[peg-image src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-f10sWfqvLN8/Wr-UV5Nz0oI/AAAAAAABaiM/3uqQpXn8rb4VQdthVRywEHOYW_5GZuX_ACCoYBhgL/s144-o/P3300003.JPG" href="https://picasaweb.google.com/108128655430094950653/6539108050220820817?locked=true#6539108287822156418″ caption="Rising Fish in This Long Pool" type="image" alt="P3300003.JPG" image_size="4608×3456″ ]
Fortunately after lunch the catch rate elevated, and I finished the day with seventeen on the fish counter. The wind remained a nuisance throughout the afternoon, and large gray clouds prevented the air temperature from rising to the sixty degree range. In fact, I wore a fleece and light down coat during my entire day, and I was quite comfortable.
Three of the first five brown trout favored the beadhead hares ear, and two snatched the salvation, but then I somehow snapped off the salvation on a rock or stick. I replaced it with a size 20 soft hackle emerger, since a small gray stonefly landed on my hand, and the soft hackle emerger proved to be a favorable imitation in previous years. I was also covering my bases in case a blue winged olive emergence evolved.
[peg-image src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-UjPy5fvleYw/Wr-Uok5I0GI/AAAAAAABaiM/CxJAMkC45P4SnDOurmcz5_s3iKwu3mNaQCCoYBhgL/s144-o/P3300007.JPG" href="https://picasaweb.google.com/108128655430094950653/6539108050220820817?locked=true#6539108608784257122″ caption="This Guy Liked My Hand" type="image" alt="P3300007.JPG" image_size="4608×3456″ ]
The soft hackle emerger yielded three trout, but then my catch rate slid below my expectations, so I swapped the small fluoro fiber BWO imitation for an ultra zug bug. This fly produced one eater, and then I slipped into another lull. Finally I approached another slow moving deep pool, and small sipping rises were visible in the tail area. I reluctantly removed my dry/dropper configuration and knotted a size 22 CDC BWO to my line. The wind continued to blast down the canyon, and the tiny fluff of CDC was not a fit for casting into the gusts. After ten unsuccessful casts I moved up along the bank a bit and shot a cast across, thus causing a cross wind to blow the fly near my target area. The adjustment worked, when a small brown sucked down the minute olive. It was my first landed trout on a dry fly in North America during 2018.
[peg-image src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-pqS7a5TyCmg/Wr-U7r4MT7I/AAAAAAABaiM/GIJ1aB4iVQw7gZvUiGPQ_0q_cb5oAAhdwCCoYBhgL/s144-o/P3300013.JPG" href="https://picasaweb.google.com/108128655430094950653/6539108050220820817?locked=true#6539108937076854706″ caption="Having Fun" type="image" alt="P3300013.JPG" image_size="4608×3456″ ]
I continued with the CDC BWO olive a bit longer, but the fierce wind compromised my accuracy, and I reached the head of the pool, so I reverted to the dry/dropper. I assumed that the fish were responding to blue winged olives, even though I never saw a natural, so I combined an RS2 with the hares ear nymph. The move rewarded me with five additional trout, and three grabbed the RS2, as I lifted at the end of a drift. The other two snatched the beadhead hares ear.
[peg-image src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-NAjmTooeFRM/Wr-VQ8KTIHI/AAAAAAABaiM/SZvfz5SdrOYergnpZYG-gemXIBtusJS1wCCoYBhgL/s144-o/P3300017.JPG" href="https://picasaweb.google.com/108128655430094950653/6539108050220820817?locked=true#6539109302225018994″ caption="Quality Spot" type="image" alt="P3300017.JPG" image_size="4608×3456″ ]
This action coincided with fairly rapid progress through some nice quality water, but eventually I broke off the RS2 on a submerged stick. I covered some juicy spots without results just prior to losing the fly, so I used the separation as an excuse to return to the salvation nymph. The salvation was on fire during the afternoon on March 15, 2018, and I hoped to recapture the magic. To some extent the ploy worked, as I landed two more trout during my remaining time.
[peg-image src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JgHf5rdJPNs/Wr-VQ5aomyI/AAAAAAABaiM/NKskgDkhWsQqm2r2w_I-0yY1DdgAEFdAQCCoYBhgL/s144-o/P3300016.JPG" href="https://picasaweb.google.com/108128655430094950653/6539108050220820817?locked=true#6539109301488229154″ caption="Keeping Wet" type="image" alt="P3300016.JPG" image_size="4608×3456″ ]
By 4:30 I was quite chilled, and the wind continued to attack everything in its path, so I hooked my flies to the rod guide and scrambled up the steep bank to the road. Forty-five minutes later I was in the parking lot, and shortly thereafter I was munching on sourdough specials and sipping a Red Bull.
[peg-image src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-HY5ynhCb-kM/Wr-VZXUboXI/AAAAAAABaiM/exJ2i4Qc-6YOQrJ6Lzmoos2FiOInAt7rACCoYBhgL/s144-o/P3300020.JPG" href="https://picasaweb.google.com/108128655430094950653/6539108050220820817?locked=true#6539109446954230130″ caption="Ears on Alert" type="image" alt="P3300020.JPG" image_size="4608×3456″ ]
Friday was a fun, although challenging, day on the North Fork of the St. Vrain. The fish were small, with the largest perhaps extending to eleven inches. I cycled through an array of flies, and I experienced some success with each. I suspect the trout were hungry, and Friday was more about placing casts in prime areas, and this required patience and persistence given the persistent air movement. Blue winged olives made an appearance, and that event encouraged me to schedule more fishing outings over the next two weeks.
Fish Landed: 17

We've long had a great relationship with Palms West, and we've donated paintings in the past. While I was there to take photos of the art in the treatment room, I walked around and found a few more paintings in other areas. It seems we donated some other paintings before I even became a member of the Art Society. I think this was around 2008. The paintings still look great, and the hospital is taking good care of them. Here's a few of them:
This first one is by Arlene Brand.
This one titled "Courage" was created by Judi Bludworth.
Here are some others:
Thank you to all of our members who generously donated their talent and time to Palms West Hospital.

Description: Gil Ra Im is a poor stunt double for action films and Kim Joo Won is the wealthy owner of a shopping mall. The two meet at a movie set when Oska, Joo Won's cousin, is having troubles with a stalkerish ex. Its basically love at first sight for the both of them. Joo Won thinks up all sorts of plans just to meet her again. One of these ends up being a trip to Jeju Island with her favorite idol, Oska. Joo Won shows up and ends up getting lost in the woods with Ra Im. They stumble upon a small restaurant and are given some medicinal wine, which, after drinking it, causes there souls to switch places every time it rains.
Personal Opinion: I really love this drama! It is a little less innocent for a Korean drama. There are a lot more kisses than the usual K-drama. There is both plenty of drama surrounding the characters. There is a monster-in-law. Oska finds his true love, and Joo Won and Ra Im have a deep past that they don't even know about. Its great because there is a perfect mix of drama and fluff. I have already seen it like three times, and I am still not sick of it. I highly recommend this drama!

Hi I read on an forum that a sitemap is a must in SEO so I went searching, came across Auto Map It. We have an osCommerce site and some of the code built into it makes searching by the search engines complicated, Shawn from the support was really helpful and helped to resolve this in the sitemap.

1) Evangelism should be non-confrontational – Sharing the gospel is a not a shouting match, a guilt trip, or an extended theological discussion. Evangelism should never involve discussions about the end of the world or going to Hell. The best evangelical tool in your possession is the life you lead. Whatever words you ultimately use to talk about the faith should build on the example of what you say and do.
2) Consider: If you knew next to nothing or very little about Christianity or its basic tenets, how would it sound to you? Realize that what you want to share and the beliefs you believe to be self-evident sound foreign, strange, and alienating to many people. Put yourself in their shoes. You can't tell your story, or what works for you, to people who don't share your foundation or worldview.
3) As a result, you must hear their story, language, and worldview. This means: before we speak, we listen. Christian listening is active and engaged listening. The art of Christian listening is a tradition nearly lost in the era 140 character tweets and short attention spans. Listening well means slowing down.
4) Review: We are not confronting, convincing, or even converting (in the most traditional sense). In this era, people are rarely one faith then change to another. Conversions are drastic psychological and emotional shifts in one's belief, lifestyle, and outlook.
5) Most of the people we encounter will be those who were:
a. Once connected with a church but stopped coming for any number of reasons
b. Have no religious background at all; they were raised without church
c. Their ideas of religion are shaped by popular culture (we're all Bible thumpers or involved with the Da Vinici Code)
d. Had faith forced on them by parents or family
e. Come to United Methodism from a Christian tradition they knew as a child
f. Agnostic
g. Functional Atheists
h. Looking for a group identity beyond those already present in the community
6) How would you talk about your faith persons in these groups? What is the difference between a "testimony" and your "story"? Why does it matter how you characterize your journey? What's the difference (or possible barriers caused in hearing when you contrast "giving" a testimony and sharing/telling a story? (Large group conversation)
7) Activity: Describe your religious life to people in each of these groups? Remember, evangelism is more about description than it ever is confrontation. (Try this as an exercise in small groups.) Try not to use "churchy" or "insider" words. What part or parts of your story would you tell? Are some more relevant than others?
8) This model of dialogue, listening, and conversation based evangelism/outreach mirrors Jesus' approach to ministry.
9) In Luke 10 (The Mission of the Seventy) Jesus sends seventy disciples ahead him to begin the work of the kingdom of God.
a. The work is notable because their need for equipment (i.e. stuff) is minimal.
b. They are charged with bringing welcome and peace.
c. Avoiding confrontation at all costs.
d. Meet the most basic needs which they find (hunger, sickness, and shelter).
10) In listening to the stories of those we encounter, are we listening for needs? In the midst of these conversations, even before we have responded, do we find ways the church may help someone in a basic, even life saving way? This, according to scripture, is evangelism.
11) Our actions, as the church and individuals, tell the gospel story. If we are welcome (as in Jesus' story) we can proceed. If not, we can move on.
12) Action driven evangelism is: non-confrontational, need driven, scripturally based, and central to our identity as United Methodists.

When I was a child my parents used to take me to the local country show and I have clear memories of those days spent in a field surrounded by livestock in boiling August temperatures. Most clearly I remember the horticultural tents, filled with home baked cakes, giant cucumbers and knitted jumpers, with a flurry of florists, bakers, jam makers and gardeners eagerly awaiting the results of their months of labour to see who had won a red rosette. I recall my granddad entering his prize vegetables and my grandma her knitted cardigans, I think my dad even entered his tomatoes one year with not such great results!
I was a child who loved to make things be it crafts or cakes, and even had a designated area of the garden to grow vegetables and flowers. So when I got a little older my mum would enter me into some of the competitions at the show and I have fond memories of making pink coconut ices and Victoria sponges, as well as creating a garden on a tray from bits and pieces I foraged from the great outdoors.
When I grew older these 'uncool' pastimes were quickly forgotten but over the last few years I've grown to enjoy spending time baking and making again, and since we bought our house I can happily spend time planting flowers in the garden. I think the recent popularity of home made crafts and shows like The Great British Bake Off have given me the confidence to embrace my love of 'hand made' and not shy away from it!
So when my Mum handed me a flyer for The Ellingham Show I decided to organise a family trip to rekindle those fond memories spent there as a kid!

LANCASTER -- The bottle was thrown into the water a little over two weeks ago.
It launched from the Isles of Shoals, just off the coast of Maine on July 21. Stripped of any label or marking, the tiny glass vessel drifted south until it washed up on the shores of Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, three days later.
The sturdy brown soda bottle had traveled more than 11 miles, with only a skillfully wedged cork stopping the Atlantic waters from seeping in and dissolving the note inside.
The note's author, Lancaster native Jim Hodson, was notified of the bottle's safe arrival a few days later.
"From what I've found in any of the reading I've done on this, it seems like roughly 40 percent will get found if you put them in the Atlantic and only about 4 percent if you put them in the Pacific Ocean," he explained.
Of the roughly 500 bottles he's thrown in the ocean Hodson estimates that only about a quarter of them were ever found. Many were thrown into the Atlantic, but others were tossed into lakes, streams, and coastlines all over the world.
Hodson's unusual hobby began in the summer of 2004 when he was on a family vacation to Cliff Island, Maine. Then 13, he had just read a book about messages in bottles and, wanting to learn more about ocean currents, decided to give it a try himself. The messages he wrote were simple: a basic greeting, a request for anyone who found the bottle to write back, and the return address of his family's home in Lancaster.
Hodson threw four Mason jars off Cliff Island that summer.
"A year later we went back to the same island," Hodson said. "I was beach combing and I found another jar stuck in the rocks. It had my name on it."
The jar he found turned out be from a retired lobsterman who lived on the island and had found Hodson's message from the previous summer but was unable to make out his address.
He has not yet learned the fate of the other two jars and likely never will.
Hodson said many of the people who have found bottles and written back have become good friends who have kept in touch years after one of his messages floated their way.
Though he's enjoyed getting to know his castaway pen pals, he said his hobby initially began as a science experiment.
"When I was a freshman in high school I always wondered if there would be something like another Exxon Valdez spill. I wanted to learn about the currents just for fun's sake," he said. "When we had the [Deepwater Horizon oil rig] spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 I had already figured out that the water would probably spread toward Florida because I had a friend drop a couple bottles there the year before."
Many of Hodson's friends have been enlisted to help with his hobby, bringing bottles with them whenever they travel abroad. Hodson's messages have been dropped in the waters of about 15 countries including Jamaica, Norway and Cuba.
To stay environmentally friendly, Hodson avoids using any metal or plastic, opting instead for repurposed glass soda bottles. The message contained in each of them has also stayed the same over the years, including the Lancaster address for the home his parents still live in.
"It's actually pretty cool. We no longer get surprised," said Hodson's mother, Jennifer. "It's really neat. It's just a quirky thing he's done that we're all used to now."
Hodson has filled a shoe box with the correspondence he's been sent from people responding to his messages. His bottles have been found by noted orchestra conductors, nuns, and even one of Hodson's former high school English teachers. A man living on a Native American reservation in southern Ontario once wrote to him after finding a bottle in his front yard, where it sat buried for 10 years after being carried there in a flood.
One bottle even traveled a full 625 miles from Cape Cod before it made landfall in North Carolina.
Although his friends and family have kept up with the work over the summer, it's been a few months since Hodson has actually cast off any of his bottles. He explained that he's been preoccupied recently with his newest hobby: beekeeping. However, a trip to Brazil this September will bring Hodson to the Amazon River and he said he plans to pack "five or 10" bottles in his luggage.
He expects more to wash up on the shore soon.
That's something to keep in mind if you get to the beach this summer. You too might spot the glimmer of a glass bottle poking its neck out of the sand and a Lancaster return address tucked safely inside.

Movie 43 was an anthology of 12 short films starring twenty-five well known celebrities. This was a comedy film, but you will not actually get the part of laughs in the ninety-seven minute runtime. One thing there were many casts here that you could not focus on each character. This was directed by several directors and written by several writers so I thought they made a good film. The actors and actresses that can be seen in this film are Greg Kinnear, Dennis Quaid, Charlie Saxton, Common, Odessa Rae, Anna Madigan, Seth MacFarlane, Mike Meldman, Rocky Russo, Kate Winslet, Julie Claire, Katie Finneran, Roy Jenkins, Hugh Jackman, and Will Sasso.
This movie proclaimed a comedic riot, but unfortunately it didn't reach the viewers. Well, this film had great actors and actresses, but it didn't make the film interesting. There were several events happening in this film which they seem funny, but for the viewers, they were not like when Kate Winslet was having a date with Hugh Jackman and accidentally the pubic hair gets into his soup he eats and he puts it on a baby's forehead. It looked like a surreal nightmare. For me, this part was not really funny at all. Another one was a woman played by Anna Farris who asked her husband played by Chris Pratt to ca-ca on her when the woman wanted a sex. The man here eating a lot of Mexican food and drinking a bottle of poop Viagra. So, as a result he had problem in stopping his bowels as his wife wants foreplay. He made his wife mad and she went into the street and he followed her, accidently he was hit by a car and defecated all over the street. Then, the wife said it was the most fascinating scene she had seen. This scene was not actually putting sense for me. There were still a lot of improper scenes that can be found in this film which I think lead the film in getting a low rating.
Even though there were many unfunny scenes in this film, but there were some scenes that still made me laugh while watching the entire movie. Some of these were Emma Stones having a great performance in a segment where she made a dirty talking at a supermarket, a 7th grade young lady played by Chloe-Grace Mortez having her menstruation and her idiotic male pal freaking out and the last one was Terrence Howard spoofing motivational sporting film like Remember the Titans.
Now, I have just reviewed the unfunny scenes and funny scenes of the entire film so it will up to you if you go and see these collections of short films.

Your session was very engaging and funny and your style of presenting is open and welcoming and encourages people to want to have a balanced lifestyle. I am still laughing about your story about your Mother and the bacon and pancakes. I have told my colleagues that story here in Ottawa. They all had a chuckle!
KATHY MAGEE Volunteer Specialist, Parks and
Recreation, City of Ottawa
Just a quick note to say what a pleasure it was to meet you and to participate in your sessions at CanSPEP 2015! You are an amazing presenter, very engaging and passionate and entertaining.
Sales Manager, Discover St. John
This is the type of session I have been seeking for some time. Our organization embraced an increasingly diverse workforce, but the appropriate tools, like this session, have not been offered. At the leadership level, there is an expectation that staff will challenge respectfully. Without understanding the cultural differences, organizations may not achieve excellence.

You rock! Loved your sense of humour, was so refreshing! It was a great reminder for me to take care of myself.

Director, Alberta Real Estate Association
Your session was the fuel I needed. I've been saying for at least a year now that I want to specialize in the "New to Canada" market. I had fear of not knowing enough or saying the right things. Well, that has changed! Thank you Tina for a wonderful session!

Sometimes people cross your path and make a difference in the direction you are going. Interestingly you did this for me with your 'work-life' balance presentation. You have such a charismatic way of presenting your topic! Your sense of humor and your personal experience brought your presentation to life. You made accountants laugh… imagine.

Tina is one of those rare finds – unique, refreshing, and has a positive high impact on those she works with. She knows just the right approach to fit the audience and is not afraid to push to get to the heart of the matter.

Your morning keynote 'Communicate with the Cross-Cultural Advantage' rated 4.8/5 as did the afternoon workshop, 'Recruiting and Retaining Foreign Workers for Success and Sustainability'. This is excellent since the audience was quite a mix of people from the entire production chain. I had nothing but rave reviews and will be referring you to anyone looking for a speaker on cross-culture topics. It was informative AND fun…nice to have participants leave on a high note!
Conference Organizer

10 Worst Cover Letter Mistakes
Kim Isaacs | Monster Resume Expert
Mistake #2: Using a Weak Opening
Job seekers frequently struggle with how to begin a cover letter. This often results in a feeble introduction lacking punch and failing to grab the reader's interest. Consider this example:
• Weak: Please consider me for your home health aide opening.
• Better: Your need for a top-performing home health aide is an excellent match to my three-year history as an empathetic, hands-on home health aide with a proven track record.

You hear a lot of people nowadays say chivalry is dead. The next thing you hear is each sex blaming the other for the death of chivalry. Is it that men just don't care anymore or do women just aren't as receptive to chivalrous tactics anymore thus making them pointless? I've been thinking about this a lot lately so here is a blog post about chivalry.
The most popular side of the argument is that we as men just don't care anymore. We aren't gentlemen anymore. We are more brash, ignorant, and self-centered than the men of past generations. This side is of course represented mainly by women. They feel they aren't treated and held at the same level that women of past generations were. Shit just isn't the same they say. My answer to this is that men respond to women, not the other way around. In most cases, the man approaches the women and whatever happens from there happens. The men act and the women react. The men that evoked those women to say chivalry is dead only met the standard the felt they needed to. The standard is set by women and met or surpassed by the man. Now of course in a perfect world men don't need to see a standard and they just treat women the best way possible. But, we don't live in a perfect world. The few men that brought a woman to say that shouldn't represent men as a whole. So in those scenarios where chivalry seemed dead, the dude just did what he felt he needed to, thus the standard he needed to meet (which was set by the woman herself) wasn't high enough. And whose fault is that?
The other and less popular side of the argument is it was in fact, women, who killed chivalry. Men say these women just aren't receptive to chivalrous act anymore. It isn't worth it anymore. These chicks don't deserve the door being opened for them and nice dates and all that they say. The men feel that the women today don't hold themselves to as high of a standard as women in past generations. Shit just isn't the same they say. My answer to this is the women these dudes are talking to have no standard set thus, the ball in is the man's court. It is then the man's standard that is the focus. In this case, the standard of the man is low enough to meet that same woman whose standard was too low or just didn't exist. Now those women without standards should not show a man how to treat a woman that does. So let's say a man keeps dealing with and choosing women that in his mind don't deserve that high level of respect and to be treated with chivalrous acts. Who is now at fault?
This is a rare scenario where I believe there are two truths.
First, as seen in both arguments, it is the person who is complaining that is usually at fault. If you complain about either sex, simply raise your standards. It really isn't that complicated. The past does not dictate the future, the present does. To put it plainly, you keep fucking with ain't-shit individuals, you will get ain't-shit results.
The second truth here blames social media. Chivalry does not exist AT ALL on social media. Chivalry on social media is deemed as "thirst". It is so bad that even in person; chivalry can be seen as thirst. It's almost crazy if you think about it. Maybe it's Because of the Internet (capitalized for a reason a few people will know, if you don't know, carry on). Being nice, being chivalrous, is seen as thirsty and way to straight forward. I know a few women that if a door was opened for them and then the man went on to say how beautiful they are and all that; they would probably later on call him thirsty to their friends or whoever would listen.
Our generation doesn't really understand chivalry. Maybe because, for the most part, we're more awkward. I don't know. Maybe our generation just doesn't know how to, for the most part, find, execute, and respond to chivalry properly. What I do know is, if at least for those reasons, and at least in its old form, chivalry had to die.
Not to say that chivalry and a good response to it is impossible to find, just that the idea is endangered, thus making it very hard to find. Kinda goes along with idea of slim pickings. Good luck.

The top gainers and losers on any day represent the stocks in which there is momentum.
When stocks gains or lose they tell a story and therefore before understanding these
stories it is essential to understand which are the top gainers and top losers.
NSE/BSE top gainers & losers are covered as a separate item with analytics on LKP

understand the stocks that are pushing the markets up and the stocks that are pressuring
the stocks down.

The 10 Best Resources For Brokers
Quality Pink Diamond Investments
The scarcity of the mineral makes it more valuable in the Market. Diamond being a scarce commodity to find it has always attracted high valuation more than any other precious mineral in the entire universe.
There are two major types of diamond in the world, and this includes diamonds from Argyle mine and the diamonds from the rest of the world. The Pink stones are precious stones that are very scarcity for that matter its fetch market in entire world.
The precious stones from Argyle are in three structures favor pink, red jewels, and favor concentrated pink, it is dependably a typical expression that precious stones are a young lady's closest companion, this expression truly tries to delineate the significance and estimation of jewels to the general population we prize the most and in light of the fact that we live in a general public that is driven by warmth that is simply communicated through adoration precious stones have discovered a place in our lives.
The preciousness and the scarcity coupled with its magnificent view has made it be more demanded in our generation thus the prices of diamond has remained steadily or attracted.
The market assessment on minerals amid the budgetary emergency that was caused by subprime home loans and the extreme use on the subordinates everyone who puts resources into the precious stones previously the money related fall was fortunate to win more returns when the monetary framework balanced out Thus individuals should attempt to enhance their venture by putting resources into the quality pink jewels.
One noteworthy issue that influences precious stones to be better than Gold to is a result of its weight, gold is substantial and now and again not it can be awkward to convey it from one goal to the next, yet jewel measures less, and it's justified regardless of a considerable measure of cash more than gold.
To put resources into the jewel showcase financial specialists can incline toward putting resources into super subsidies, which is a pool of cash from various speculator with a point of purchasing and directing the investigation of precious stones in different fields.
There are essential merchants on the planet that can offer and purchase precious stones secretly for financial specialists that at whatever point they purchase and offer a benefit, the speculators can acquire an arrival.

The geomatics industry provides us with the opportunity to strengthen the various strategic initiatives in our department such as the Back to Basics (B2B) programme, disaster management and the implementation of the Integrated Urban Development Framework (IUDF), together with infrastructure planning and investment across local spaces.
The theme of the 2017 conference, ""Transforming Today for a Better Tomorrow†resonates with the current initiatives within the Department of Cooperative Governance and resonates with the Chapter 13 of the National Development Plan, which focuses on building a capable and developmental state through the development of technical and specialist professional skills.
