Around 12,000 NPI pension policyholders received annual projections twice their actual value after a system error doubled up guaranteed yearly pension and annual bonus figures.
Policyholders were sent the projections between March 16 and April 13 this year. They were sent the correct information and told there had been a mistake in a letter dated May 12.
The letter stated: "Due to a temporary system issue, projection rates for some NPI pension policies have been overinflated, which has affected the annual update mailing. As soon as we became aware that projection values were incorrect, we halted the mailing to ensure that we were not mailing customers with incorrect information."
One customer's guaranteed yearly pension was stated as £7,500 when the value was £3,700 and the annual bonus figure as £7,800 instead of £4,100.
NPI attributed the errors to a new computer system and said it received no complaints about the matter.
An NPI spokeswoman says: "We apologise and acknowledge that there was a mistake which was resolved as soon as it was noticed. This will not happen again."

Dirty O Artwork & Prints
Unfortunately I don't have the time to do a full-on painting every week for Hot Dog Of The Week (my column on Serious Eats).. these things take me at least a few days to finish... but every once in a while there's a place so awesome that it really deserves an illustration. The Dirty O was one of them, awesome food along with awesome hand painted signs covering every inch of the place. They also sell beer and greeting cards. The vibe was more Philly Cheesesteak stand than hot dog joint.
Anyway check out the process shots below or check out the article on Serious Eats. Or pick up a 10 X 14 giclee print of the artwork here- www.hawkkrall.net/prints

The Village inn has one of very few south-facing walled beer gardens in North Norfolk. It is sheltered and often a lot warmer than the North facing local beaches. In the Summer months we have seating for 250 still leaving plenty of room for children to play in complete safety as the garden is fully enclosed by flint walls. Dogs are very welcome (we provide water) but must be kept on short leads at all times. The full menu is also available in the garden so on a nice day you can order from the same menu as that available in the restaurant.
Food is served lunch and evening 7 days a week. See the Menu page for further details.

Joakim Nilsson, Rikard Edlund (both formerly of Norrsken), Axel Sjöberg, and Truls Mörck formed Graveyard in 2006. When Norrsken disbanded in 2000, guitarist Magnus Pelander went on to form doomy folk metal act Witchcraft and Nilsson and Edlund joined Albatross, a growly blues rock band whose lineup also included Sjöberg on drums. Initially they considered Albatross a hobby project, but after five years the members began taking their music more seriously and had grown dissatisfied with the direction their sound had taken. When Albatross broke up, Nilsson and Edlund decided that for their next venture, they would head back towards their roots as musicians and songwriters. Nilsson explains, "I am a singer, but in Albatross I only played guitar. Rikard played guitar but he is a bass player. We also wanted a more straightforward [rock] sound."
Together with Sjöberg and guitarist/singer Truls Mörck they began practicing as Graveyard. Upon their initial formation, Graveyard quickly recorded a two track demo, played a total of three shows, and began planning for a full-length album with Swedish label, Transubstans Records. In the meantime, they posted a demo of some of their material on MySpace. Songs from the band's Myspace caught the ear of Tony Presedo, founder of TeePee Records. Their self-titled debut album was recorded by Don Ahlsterberg and released in early 2008. On the recording sessions' completion, Truls Mörck was replaced by guitarist Jonatan Ramm. The debut album received generally good reviews. Graveyard performed at the 2008'sSouth by Southwest Music Festival.
Graveyard was featured on Rolling Stone Magazine's Fricke's Picks for their first ever US gig at SXSW. After SXSW, Graveyard toured with label mates Witch. In the Fall of 2008 Graveyard toured with Witchcraft and then Clutch. In 2009 they toured with the rock band CKY. Graveyard released their second album in spring of 2011.
In 2013 they toured Europe with grunge band Soundgarden.

"Why do you recite my statutes... with your mouth?"– Psalm 50:16
"Magnanakaw ka!" (You're a thief!)
When Edwin was a little boy, his aunt accused him of stealing milk from their kitchen. The spoonful of milk in his mouth caused Edwin to be beaten to a pulp.
Edwin's aunt was a devout Catholic. She would gather everyone and lead the nightly rosary prayer but would utter each Hail Mary with lightning speed. She would have made it to the Guinness Book of World Records for the Fastest Talking Rosary Leader had there been such a category. As if that wasn't enough, she would squeeze in a few scowls here and there. She knew the rosary all right, but her life was hardly a prayer.
The kitchen incident and his aunt's behavior confused little Edwin. How can someone so prayerful be harsh and merciless?
At certain points in our lives, we may have been like Edwin's aunt. We chose to be right rather than loving. We know God by the book but fail to recognize Him in the face of our brothers and sisters. Let us remember that a truly prayerful life is backed up by a loving heart. Osy Erica (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Reflection: Do your actions follow what you preach? Remember that the real Gospel you preach is your life.
Lord, cover me with Your grace so I may stay true to what I preach. Make a sincere servant out of me, one whose life is a prayer and an offering to You.
St. Oliver Plunkett, pray for us.

You can see the city of Cartagena from their front doors. Tierra Bomba is a small, beautiful island in the Cartagena Bay on the northern coast of Colombia. But, Tierra Bomba is almost like a forgotten island even though it is only a 10 minute boat ride from Cartagena, one of Colombia's hottest tourist destinations.
The people of Tierra Bomba are descendants of enslaved Africans who claimed this island as their home. Fishing and tourism provides some income for their families, but most are poor beyond our imaginations! Due to a lack of opportunities for work and education many of the young people of Tierra Bomba are led into prostitution in the city of Cartagena to earn their living.
We at ER International are building a relationship with a local church in Cartagena, Colombia so that we can make a difference in the lives of the people of this forgotten island. On Sunday, May 29, 2016, a group from the church went to Tierra Bomba to do an outreach in this very poor island community. They brought sacks filled with food items provided by ER International that were given away to about 50 children.
Team members from the church dressed as clowns and shared the message of hope in Jesus Christ with all the children and adults who were there. The people loved it and their response to the message of Jesus Christ was incredible!
Joy and happiness could be seen on their faces and expressions of gratitude were displayed for the much needed food items they received that day.
We love having the opportunity to change lives in other parts of the world and make a difference in the lives of children. These precious people are not forgotten by those of us at ER International. We feel compelled to do something, to make a difference. How about you? Will you join us in making a difference on the forgotten island of Tierra Bomba? Together we can make a difference, we will not forget them!

The best cake shop that makes noodles in COMO/
Lao Li became the owner of U Knead Sweets a few months ago after the Korean couple has been operating the cake business for about 20 years. Lao Li is from Henan, China, and he has been selling noodles at his house in Columbia, Missouri even before he brought U Knead Sweets.
This week, Lao Li brings in a new kind of noodles called spicy oil noodles to U Knead Sweets for Columbia residents to try. The spicy oil noodles are special because of the boiled oil on the surface of the noodles and flavors.
Here are the details on how to make the spicy oil noodles. It's easy enough for you to cook them at home as long as you have all the flavors, which is not that easy :)
First of all, cook the noodles with boiled water. Put the noodles in a bowl and pour out the water. Some vegetables on the top of the noodles, and add some peanuts on the top of the vegetables.
Add some sesame on the top of the peanuts.
Add the spicy sauce called Lan Ganma chilli pastegarlic powder and chilli paste.
Sprinkle the soy sauce on the top of the vegetables.
After sprinkling the soy sauce, add some white vinegar.
Add some Wuxiang powder over everything.
Last but not least! Cook some oil(oil only), use a thermograph to test the temperature and make sure it's almost as hot as the boiled water.
Sprinkle the boiled oil on the top of noodles, vegetables and flavors so they will be heated and mixed together to add flavors to the noodles.

Human Resources
Many companies forget that human resources is just as important to a successful business as customers and inventory. Maintaining a healthy team often requires the same tools and techniques as required to manage and grow your customer base.
Nextsoft provides a central place to track employee information, including personal data, hire/fire dates, payroll and benefits, and pay history. In addition, a journal allows you to keep a log of notes through out the employee's tenure, each date stamped and digitally signed. Documents such as commendation or grievances can be stored in the private documents area of each employee file.
Employee Information
Each employee file contains all pertinent personal and employment data for the employee. Name, address, spouse, home phone, SSN, direct deposit bank info and personal notes.
Hire and termination dates, along with last review and next review allow you to keep track of review activity and new hire reporting.
Location and Work Group allow you to specify an employee's geographic location for a multi-location business, and their corresponding work group, which control the rules governing timecard calculations.
Filing Status & Payroll
The Filing Status area hold all pertinent payroll specific data, such as federal and state filing status, state of filing, number of exemptions, and any local tax jurisdictions.
Payroll tax calculations are based on these entries, and can be updated at anytime, effective the next payroll.
Job Skills
In an era of high workers compensation rates and liability insurance, managing the risks of employee injury has become an integral part of human resources. Job Skills allows you to list those skills that an employee is qualified or authorized to perform. Time & Attendance then collects activities (Job Skills) in association with punches on a timecard, allowing you to track which skills or activities an employee performed each day.
Paycheck History
Each paycheck for the employment life of the employee is kept in their file, along with hours, deductions, taxes and all related information. Year-to-date and life-to-date balances on 401k, loans and other deductions are readily available during a review or personnel matter.
Pay Rate
For hourly employees, rates can be built using a pay scale system, much like a union or government scale. As an employee improves experience or tenure, you can apply new pay rates based on the next tier in the scale.
For non-scaled hourly or salaried employees, pay rate changes are logged in the employee's journal, providing a complete audit trail of wage increases over the tenure of their employment.
Journal & Documents
Letters received from employees, or letters that you write to them, are cataloged in the Documents area of their employment file. Documents can contain faxes, letters, spreadsheets and other documents, such as commission reports, reviews and employment applications.
The Journal allows you to record notes and other miscellaneous information in a private journal for each employee. This might include notes summarizing telephone calls, sick calls or reviews.
Managing Employees
Protecting your business and your employees from the liabilities, while nourishing growth and teamwork, are the benefits of a quality human resources effort. Nextsoft's human resource tools allow you to clearly document and manage a professional workforce.

When you have heavy metal poisoning, you can experience a form of low sex drive or impotence for all practical purposes.
Not that an erection is not possible but it's difficult to get there or to maintain.
This is because of the nature of heavy metal poisoning. It 'clogs' all filtering organs ( liver, kidneys, …) with heavy metals. So the body doesn't have the ability to balance its chemistry and ends up with excess of nutrients, especially metals, such as zinc and copper.
Zinc and copper excess/toxicity is directly linked with issues of impotence and low sex-drive.
Zinc is essentially a heavy metal. Although it's not usually known since its accepted as an essential nutrient such as copper and iron.
Copper in many research is linked with mental issues such as schizophrenia and paranoia. Episodes I easily remember experiencing to the extreme – to the full extent of it.
I remember going and give blood at the red cross or other blood donation center. I immediately felt better but it doesn't last very long. Since the excess of irons, zinc and copper whether the body can't eliminate them or won't is a question I am not interested in spending time finding the answer, but if you do, please write a comment.
It's possible the body keeps all this iron, copper and zinc, because it needs it to balance all the heavy metals. And unfortunately it's causing more symptoms, low sex-drive, dementia, schizophrenia, paranoia, agoraphobia, multiple personality disorders, asperger disorder and other autistic spectrum ailments such as ADD, ADHD, bipolar, etc…
It's interesting I experienced all conditions of the autistic spectrum (Ref. DSM IV).
I remember experiencing the above mental issues above. But a mental issue is one thing. You can reason yourself and prevent it as I said with blood donations or lactoferrin ( iron chelator). So you tell yourself okay I am very reactive right now, I will choose, decide to not take such and such actions because my sensors are off. I must confess that at the pick of a schizophrenic episode, you can't do much but stay safe at home and that's it.
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO SEX!!! You can't adjust, reason, accommodate, adjust, compensate : You got it or you don't got it.
And if you date, the person will 'feel' that you don't find the person attractive.
Unfortunately, yes, I found the person attractive – but I had no more energetical change in my being showing attraction. I just showed and actually felt myself as merely friendly. A friend. Like I wanted to be friend only.
So how do you balance excesses of zinc, iron and copper?
Chelations! same way as with heavy metals. EDTA and DMSA help tremendously. You can add lactoferrin for iron chelation.
How long would it take until you get your sex drive back?
I don't know. Stamina is a factor of physical exercise, cardio and happiness. If you are depressed, it won't help. So take some Phenylalanine – any mood booster will do – that one is nice since it's an amino acid, it also contributes to the release of heavy metals.

Well, we've made it! We've been at it for one whole year and have really made some serious progress. Someone recognized Tate from my Instagram account (read that here). I've written about postpartum depression, IVF from the woman's and man's perspective, adoption, and so many other issues that face us as parents. I've also written about the fun times and the hard times.
So, happy one year anniversary to this crazy, fun journey we've begun. I am so happy with all the progress we've made over the past year and all the issues we've discussed; whether they are funny, serious, detrimental, life-changing, uncomfortable, important, or difficult.
I just wanted to tell all my followers and supporters thank you for everything. It means the world to me when you comment and share your thoughts and ideas and when you share my posts. Here's to another awesome year!
Much love,

This morning my horoscope told me to start putting myself first more. To an extent, I understand this because I know I am a people pleaser, I like to make people happy and do things right for people. But at the same time, where is the truth in that? If you are constantly trying to please other people where does the truth sit in pleasing yourself. But what if making other people happy, is what actually makes me happy? In that case can't I continue living the way I am. Maybe it is not how everybody lives their life, but for me I think it works. I'm not saying I am better than anybody I am rather saying that to make myself a better and more joyful person I aim to do the same for others, and when I succeed for other people I succeed for me.
Make other people smile, because it will rub off on you. Making other people happy is the greatest gift we can give to another person, and it is not rocket science.
The pure simplicity of making another human smile brings more joy than any money will ever buy.
I'm a Leo, I can be stubborn and I cling to my pride, but one thing I will always be proud of is my adaptation to new situations and altering my opinion to empathize with others. Nobody is perfect. I am so far from perfect it makes life hard sometimes, as it does for everybody, but when you realize that life is a journey, nothing in life is perfect and every choice you make has a consequence, positive or negative, you can alter your motives and your opinions–which are constantly capable of changing–and you can make people smile, too.

I have decided to go on the Fat Smash Diet by Dr. Ian Smith from Celebrity Fit Club.

Check out http://www.essence.com/fashion_beauty/beauty/articles/essences_biggest_loser/ to read her story. Has anyone else tried this diet?
MAC's Friends and Family Sale ended yesterday. Best believe I bought some coveted items. I'm all over getting a discount on MAC items. I will update you guys on what I purchased.

Putt-Putt Travels Through Time is a point-and-click adventure game developed by Humongous Entertainment in 1997. It is the fourth game in the Putt-Putt series. Infogrames later re-packaged this game in a bundle with Putt-Putt and Pep's Balloon-O-Rama in 1999. It was, fifteen years later, ported to iOS by Nimbus Games, Inc. on August 14, 2012. A Lite (demo) version was released a week later.
In this game, Putt-Putt must travel through time to retrieve his calculator, history report, lunchbox, and Pep. He travels through four time periods: age of the dinosaurs, medieval times, wild west, and the future. It is also the last game to feature Jason Ellefson as the voice of Putt-Putt.
The game begins with Putt-Putt packing his new school supplies. Putt-Putt is excited to show Mr. Firebird his history report, calculator, and Smokey the Fire Engine lunchbox before school starts. He wakes up Pep, brings his coin, and heads down the road to Mr. Firebird's Lab. He explains about his new Time Portal invention, which allows the past and future to be seen without actually traveling there. After Putt-Putt takes out his things, Mr. Firebird attempts to start the machine. After failing, he realizes he needs a coin to start the machine, and he is fresh out. Putt-Putt offers the coin, and Mr. Firebird starts the machine.
However, the Time Portal goes haywire (out of control) and opens up. It sucks Putt-Putt's objects and Pep into time. A panicked Mr. Firebird tells Putt-Putt of the risk of being sucked into time unless the portal is closed for good. Putt-Putt assures him that he will gather his things soon, and enters the Time Portal. Putt-Putt must retrieve his lost things in order for Mr. Firebird to close the portal for good.
Putt-Putt returns to the present his things and Pep, and Mr. Firebird closes the portal for good. Putt-Putt tells Mr. Firebird that he likes time traveling. Mr. Firebird was glad that Putt-Putt had fun while time traveling, but then tells Putt-Putt that he's going to be late for school unless he hurries. Putt-Putt tells him that he's right, and he will show him his school supplies later. At school, Putt-Putt shares the news by telling everyone about time traveling.
Putt-Putt Travel Through Time, like other Humongous Entertainment games, is a point-and-click adventure game. The player takes control of Putt-Putt with the goal of rescuing Pep and his lost school supplies and having fun along the way. The game is played by using the mouse to interact with the environment. By clicking on various areas called Click Points, the player can collect items, talk with other characters, and watch funny animations. Items are collected to help the player solve puzzles. The game contains four different areas to explore: the Age of the Dinosaurs, Medieval Times, Wild West, and the Future. These areas are joined in the middle by the Time Portal and Cartown.

That's a total of sixteen individual paths, the highest of any Junior adventure. Each era can only have one item in it. Thus, the total number of games is 4! = 4*3*2*1 = 24. This is second to Freddi Fish 2: The Case of the Haunted Schoolhouse (56).
- When a tube emerges from Mr. Firebird's time portal after it malfunctions, he smiles.

Adrian Hancock paid me a visit (his first to East London) and we spent the morning discussing our approach to the Socitm Vision and Direction work stream – which was very helpful for me.
The next key input will be an all-day workshop developing how to manage the professionalism agenda, at which we will be assisted by PARN (Professional Associations Research Network).
The afternoon was spent in Resource Services "Speed Dating" sessions with front-line services, at which I was accompanied by ICT Portfolio Managers. These sessions, which were held for the first time last year to assist in the development of properly resources annual service plans, have proved quite effective, and the extra networking opportunity to chat about our organisational environment, in general, is useful.
I decided, this week, that the time is ripe to run a series of data optimisation seminars, with the working title (following exchanges between myself and Geoff on the subject) of "Turning Data into Intelligence for Effective Customer Services".
I plan morning seminars, followed by discussions over lunch. The idea will be to show delegates how our systems inter-relate (using Newham's updated "Flight path"), demonstrate the approach to data quality surveys and improvement plans, present Newham's Information Systems Architecture and Customer Data Integration project, with information about related security developments such as role-based access.
The first seminar will be targeted at our most senior management and executives. We hope to start running them about the end of February.

Equities Fall On Potential Rate Increase From Fed May 27, 2015
Markets Have "Holy Crap The Fed IS Going To Raise Rates" Moment
Yesterdays move in equities along with the USD strength can really mean only one thing and that is that they are really starting to believe the Fed is going to raise rates sometime this year. To be honest I am having to rethink my perspective as well. Although a look at the big picture still shows that they really cant raise rates I have to admit that they do seem determined to do so regardless of the potential unforseen consequences. Having said that I will repeat what I said in yesterdays live London session. In reality they should have raised rates long ago and let the cards fall where they may. In what seems to have been a time buying act to give the government some room to make the necessary reforms to get the economy rolling the actions from the Fed have essentially made things worse because doing the right thing from the politcal view is not an option. Going back to the famous J C Juncker statement of "we know what we need to do but dont know how to do it and keep our jobs". At this point I can only hope that the Fed will have the nerve to do the right thing considering that there cant be any real change until most all the cronies in the government are gone. I think Peter Schiff said it best even though hes not convinced they are going to do it, the premise that now they are ready to go full blown China and manipulate every figure in favor of rate increases says quite a bit. Below is his view.
When Steve Liesman pressed the Bureau of Economic Analysis (the government entity that supplies the data) to explain his findings, the agency responded "BEA is currently examining possible residual seasonality in several series, which may lead to improvements in…the regular annual revision to GDP." We should understand "improvements" to mean changes that make first quarter GDP higher.
As if on cue, the Federal Reserve itself waded into the debate with its own new study (released by the San Francisco Fed – Janet Yellen's former stomping grounds) that seemed to confirm and expand on Liesman's analysis and the BEA's concessions (makes one wonder if these campaigns are coordinated). Fed economists took a hard look at the disappointing .2% annualized first quarter 2015 growth, and determined that the seasonal adjustments that have been in use for years were insufficient to fully reveal the true health of the economy. When the San Francisco Fed added a second level of seasonal adjustments, it determined that Q1 growth should have been measured at 1.8% annualized. While that growth rate would not be considered strong, it is much closer to the 2.7%-3.0% that most forecasters had predicted at the end of 2014. No matter that the Atlanta Fed's "GDP Now," which was designed to be a more objective and contemporaneous measurement tool, was confirming near zero growth in Q1, many economists and media outlets jumped on the Fed study as proof positive that the economy is stronger than the pessimists portray.
People understand that holiday spending juices GDP at the end of the year, and that post-holiday depletion and cold winters cause consumers to retrench. This causes them to try to compensate for the weakness in the first quarter. But there is no pressure for them to find reasons that GDP may be too high in December and May (when Christmas lists and pleasant weather should be encouraging shopping).
Given that, why do we really need seasonal adjustments in the first place? Yes December is different from July, but those differences persist every year. If we are looking at full year GDP, which is the measure that everyone is really after, why not keep a cumulative tally that we compare to prior years rather than prior quarters? Wouldn't this strip out a needless and opaque system of adjustments from a measurement system that is already overly complex to begin with? I believe the truth is the system is getting more complex because we want it that way. We prefer the ability to manipulate figures rather than allowing the figures to tell us things that we don't want to hear.
In any event, many market watchers are grabbing at the San Francisco Fed report to conclude that Janet Yellen will raise rates this year, despite the weakness that the unadjusted GDP reports indicate. Such a conclusion is premature. I believe that the Fed wants us to think that the economy is strong, in the hopes that perception may one day soon become reality. If people think the economy is strong their optimism could influence their spending, hiring, and investing decision. As a result, optimistic Fed pronouncements should be considered just another policy tool; call it "open mouth operations." But I do not believe the Fed has any actual intention of delivering the rate increases that it may expect will damage our already weak economy.
That last paragraph is where I hope he is wrong. After all the Fed has done using every tool it has my hopes are that they are fed up with being the top player for backa$$wards politicians having enriched themselves through the crisis rather than do whats right by the people and make the changes necessary to get the economy rolling. Yes that may be a bit too optimistic and I understand that, however I will never give up hope.
EUR/USD Lower On USD Strength
The conviction on the EUR/USD yesterday proved to be true during the London session giving a nice Confirmation Entry at the beginning of the NY session for a nice 50+ pip continuation trade. Good job to those that caught that trade.
With the pushes not all that clear I will be open for a long today while slightly more bias for the short. If they really think the Fed is going to raise rates this USD strength should continue. The best level to short will be around the Asian highs of 1.0891 but if they cant widen the range this morning the probability of a test up to 1.0933 goes up. The exception would be if price leaves the Asian box at the lows. At that point running stops and breakout traders to the Asian highs should suffice. I will only consider a long from a stop run to the lows and a screaming at me type of set up.
GBP/USD Drops With EU Showing USD Strength
The GBP/USD dropping in step with the EU along with the daily close beyond a less significant daily low suggests the next long term test will be down toward 1.5165 or even this months lows. Again the pushes are questionable so I will be open for the long while mainly bias short considering most of the info available is bearish. The best level I see for a short is up at 1.5412 but if they widen the range lower and leave the Asian box at the lows the Asian highs around 1.5400 are more probable for a good set up.
EUR/JPY "Houston We Have A Problem"
The EUR/JPY is in a conundrum these days moving with either the Euro or USD. Yes that seems funny if not outright weird but after thinking about the cause this morning it actually makes sense and this is likely what will be known as the "new risk off trade". Typically during a risk off scenario we see the USD strengthen while the Yen also does the same and we get the extended move from the EUR/JPY. Well if we think of the cause its due to investors going from higher risk assets to lower risk ones. However since the BOJ is not only buying up every Japanese bond issued but also buying ETFs it only makes sense that there are no JPGs to buy in a risk aversion move so the EJ will follow the UJ in such situations and track the EU when the Euro is just plain weak. Welcome to the new normal once again.
Considering the push I will be bias for the push up today but will need to see that the UJ is dragging it along like it has so far this morning. The best level is at 133.68 but if they show conviction above 133.98 and push off far enough I will look for the continuation trade to the upside from there. Its possible they will push back down considering the rejection but I will need to see them moving with the EU.
Forex News Today
The calendar is rather dead today with only German GFk Consumer Climate before London opens. Expected to drop slightly a bigger disappointment should get more Euro weakness while an improvement should only get a subdued move considering all the issues in Europe these days.
The NY session only has the Canadian interest rate decision for all the Loonie traders to watch.
Tomorrow during Asia there is Japan Retail sales to keep an eye on but I doubt its going to do much.

According to Mary Foley, three key factors singled out her experience with Kim Brundage Photography – Preparation, "Wow" Factor and Quality Return on Investment.
In the world of digital marketing, first impressions are consistently formed before two people even meet. A powerful tool in facilitating that first impression is imagery. Mary Foley understood the power of images to enhance and communicate her brand, which is why she booked a branding session with our team.
Mary had very specific goals entering this process. She was in the process of updating her web presence and wanted updated images to illustrate her business. Our preparation process really made a lasting impression on Mary. She'd never experienced our level of detail to prepare for a photo session. She really enjoyed having a wardrobe consultant. Bringing a third party into her closet opened her eyes to possibilities she never knew were there. She discovered new outfits and rediscovered how to wear her clothes and accessories in ways she'd never thought of.
The excitement over her new wardrobe discoveries created a feeling of anticipation on the day of her photo shoot. Mary couldn't wait to model her new looks, and even confessed that she continues to wear many of these looks today. Upon arrival the day of the shoot, the presence of our makeup artist gave Mary a sense of calm. She felt taken care of. Our team listened to her needs and responded in kind, further increasing her trust and confidence in us.
By the time Mary reached me for her photographs, she was ready to have some fun and show her personality on camera. The preparation that went into the day allowed her to let go and enjoy her photo shoot to the fullest. She described our preparation process as unique. It is what puts you at ease on 'game day.'
When the time came to review her photographs, Mary experienced her first "wow" factor. She was so impressed with the outcome of her photographs, she felt inspired to be her best self. Her photos did such a great job of depicting who she was and who she wanted to be, she felt the need to live up to them. Mary described this as an unexpected gift she received from us – a priceless gift.
When considering a branding session, Mary admitted that is was indeed, an investment. But, an investment is something you receive a return on, and this was no different. She has used her various images so frequently in her marketing, it has already paid for itself. She even had an instance where someone commented on one of her images and remarked, "whatever you're selling, I'm buying." This no doubt confirmed that her investment was worth every penny. Her images not only created a magnetic pull for future clients, but more importantly, the right clients.

Criticism notwithstanding, behaviorism can be interpreted to supply a cautious optimism about changing one's current state of affairs. But optimistic outlooks can be fickle.
Changing one's environment can bring about lasting change. This means the power to alter the environment, and who wields it, can become a central concern. As put by William Ralph Inge:
"The proper time to influence the character of a child is 100 years before he is born"
This is not to say that wielding power is bad. Initially this puts the forces of conditioning as neutral. Used correctly, this can lead to positive changes one wants to bring about. But as this change is done externally, that means other people can change it as well. We know circus bears can be made to perform unnatural things under enough pressure of conditioning. People are presumably more resilient, but everything has a breaking point. Some take this conditioning to be therapeutic, others may consider it torture. If you're the person wielding the power it makes no difference, what matters is that the other person chooses what you want them to choose.
Inevitably, the struggle over which group will wield power becomes political. For some, this gives rise to a politics of S&M. Any ideology that uses the Biblical "spare the rod spoil the child" does this implicitly. As do he Hindu laws of Manu when they state: "Punishment is an active ruler; he is the true manager of public affairs; he is the dispenser of laws; and wise men call him the sponsor of all the four orders for the discharge of their several duties. Punishment governs all mankind; punishment alone preserves them; punishment wakes, while their guards are asleep. . . . The whole race of men is kept in order by punishment."
Elites champion these forms of social control as benevolent. BF Skinner himself said, approvingly, that "science does not dehumanize man, it de-homunculizes him." And by homunculus he meant "the autonomous man, the inner man…the man defended by the literature of freedom and dignity." So what follows after you remove freedom and dignity? Naturally, traditional morals dissolve and things are pushed beyond good and evil as people become nothing more than products of their environment.
IRL, whether due to cupidity or cupid's arrow, social media harnesses this principles expertly to form habits. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg stated this explicitly when he said: "I'm curious about whether there is a fundamental mathematical law underlying human social relationships that governs the balance of who and what we all care about. I bet there is."
It also provides metaphorical justification for organizing economies. When Daniel Dennett says "neurons are akin to Skinnerian agents", this provides comfort to decision theory, game theory, public choice theory, and any other theory predicated on a rational agent selecting from randomly generated choices the way behaviorism allegedly does. This includes justifying the current laissez-faire economic system when Dennett says "the brain's functional architecture is more like a free market than a politburo hierarchy."
Which brings us to the current crowning glory of the current Trump administration: née the Cut Cut Cut Act. The bill focuses on reducing corporate taxes. Presumably, lower corporate taxes will provide incentive for foreign capital inflows, which would then presumably lead to higher wages and GDP growth.
However, low corporate tax rates create an incentive to use transfer pricing to make profits appear in a country due to foreign capital without much autochthonous activity. This means GNP will go up less than GDP, and GNI may actually go down. The foreign capital inflows should also increase the trade deficit.
This will also increase the budget deficit. By 2027, those making $40 to 50,000 per year will pay a combined $5.3 billion more in taxes, while those earning $1 million or more will get a combined $5.8 billion cut.
There are other reasons for dissent as well. As put by Larry Summers in an open letter, here:
"Much of the projected growth benefit from corporate tax reform comes from enacting expensing of equipment, which reduces the entity-level effective tax rate to zero on equity-financed investment and makes it negative if financed in part with debt. In the presence of debt finance, textbook analysis would suggest that a cut in the corporate tax rate would raise the cost of capital because interest deductions would no longer be as valuable and thus discourage investment. Have you considered this important possibility, since most of the budget cost of the reform comes from the corporate rate reduction? Moreover, even with the lower statutory tax rates in the bills if expensing ended after five years, as it does in the bill, effective marginal tax rates on equipment investment would actually be higher than they are today with bonus depreciation in effect. It would be ironic if lower corporate rates and an expiration of bonus depreciation actually discouraged investment at the margin relative to continuing current policy but we believe this is likely."
The end result of all this is that, by 2027, GDP will be 0.3-0.8% higher with tax cuts than without. That's quintessentially measly. This is also willfully ignoring the detrimental effects such as discouraging higher education, reducing nutritional programs, and all the other complications stemming from a higher deficit.
This also despite all the evidence against supply-side economics. Theories contrary to this have been proposed for a long time. As far back as 350 BC, Aristotle requested something akin to a welfare state since:
"Great then is the good fortune of a state in which the citizens have a moderate and sufficient property."
And the evidence to the contrary abounds. The economic boom under Clinton. The financial crisis under Bush. The tax cut disaster in Kansas. Economic growth since 2013. Not to mention Verdoorn's law, Okun's law, etc. etc.
So why persist in supply side economics when even the CBO recognizes that a higher multiplier is achieved when tax cuts are given to working people rather than rich? Because it's not just about keeping things from falling apart, it's also about maintaining power.
The political consequences of this was foreseen by the prescient Michal Kalecki back in 1943:
"The level of employment depends to a great extent on the so-called state of confidence. If this deteriorates, private invest declines, which results in a fall of output and employment (both directly and through the secondary effect of the fall in incomes upon consumption and investment). This gives the capitalists a powerful indirect control over the government policy: everything which may shake the state of confidence must be carefully avoided because it would cause an economic crisis. But once the government learns the trick of increasing employment by its own purchases, this powerful controlling device loses its effectiveness. Hence budget deficits necessary to carry out government intervention must be regarded as perilous. The social function of the doctrine of 'sound finance' is to make the level of employment dependent on the state of confidence."
This is why all the evidence to the contrary doesn't matter. Analyses to the contrary will never win out because maintaining power over the environment will always have greater political viability.
Once this is taken as axiomatic, many aspects of politics will make sense. It explains why some judges unconditionally support business, why businesses have unlimited speech, and even why too much democracy is viewed as problematic.
And those who remove their ideological glasses can intuit that no solution is readily available since the majority of the population has no way of influencing policy.
Merry Christmas indeed.

One of London's most recognisable sights, familiar from dozens of movies, Tower Bridge doesn't disappoint in real life. Its neo-Gothic towers and sky-blue suspension struts add extraordinary elegance to what is a supremely functional structure. London was a thriving port in 1894 when it was built as a much-needed crossing point in the east, equipped with a then-revolutionary steam-driven bascule (counterbalance) mechanism that could raise the roadway to make way for oncoming ships in just three minutes.
A lift leads up from the northern tower to the Tower Bridge Exhibition, where the story of building the bridge is recounted. Tower Bridge was designed by architect Horace Jones, who was also responsible for Smithfield and Leadenhall markets, and completed by engineer John Wolfe Barry.
The bridge is still operational, although these days it's electrically powered and rises mainly for pleasure craft. It does so around 1000 times a year and as often as 10 times a day in summer; check the Exhibition website for times to see it in action.

By: Danna Subia,
President of SGA at NHS
Since the beginning of the 2016-17 school year, the Student Government Association (SGA) at Newnan High School has been working toward the goal of becoming a part of the State of Georgia's Student Council of Excellence. During the week of February 22nd, they finally accomplished this high achievement.
Mrs. Jenny Welch, Co-Sponsor of SGA, proposed the idea to run for the award to Mrs. Lori Mayes, Co-Sponsor of SGA, and NHS' SGA in the spring of 2016. Since the seniors were almost ready to leave, the proposition was an extended goal for the officers and members of the upcoming year to take on.
Shortly after, the rest of the Newnan High School's Student Government was on board and ready to take on the challenge of becoming a Council of Excellence in the State of Georgia.
A little less than a year later, Newnan's Student Government is the only council of excellence in its region.
The efforts to receive Council of Excellence were led by senior officer and representative Katelyn and Stephanie Cannon.
Some of the activities that were involved in the process were events such as the cleaning up of Armory Road, as well as SGA visiting Atkinson Elementary School for a leadership workshop.
Working the projects, initatives and activities into students' already packed scheduled was the most challenging part of earning the award. Junior representative Dominik Rados mentioned that the most difficult task was "The time. You always feel like you need more of it."
To qualify for the award, a student council must complete a number of diverse service projects. Some of the required service projects had already been projects that SGA took part in, but the majority were new. For example, the council had never before taken part in Bridging the Gap. This year, the SGA has gotten multiple clubs to commit to donating multiple household necessities for Bridging the Gap to distribute.
This and many other projects contributed to the successful recognition as a SGA Council of Excellence.
The upcoming 2017-18 school year's SGA will be run by Mrs. Amber Steele as well as a fresh class of officers. The officer election takes place in early may, to replace the leaving seniors with the current juniors soon to become seniors.
According to Dom Rados, candidate for President, SGA will not stop at just student council of excellence in the State of Georgia, and instead of settling for what it has already accomplished, next year SGA will be running for national spotlight.
With a great class of Juniors ready to become the leaders of this stellar organization, NHS' SGA is sure to have a bright future in leadership.

This will turn your urine a bright orange color, so wear a pad so you don't stain your clothing. It works very well and greatly relieves the pain of the infection until the antibiotics can kick in.
after just one dose, (my pee turned the orange color after that), all that burning from my uti was gone. It was a godsend.
I don't know what I would do without this medication. It works within half an hour for me. The orange urine doesn't bother me as long as the pain goes away! I have been using it for frequent urinary tract infections for over 15 years now. I have never had a side effect from it either.

I seem to have a lot of itching and after taking this Drug three times a day for three days that night I had a fast heart beat. A lot of burning when I urinate. The Itching started with my arms now it's all over my body.
I had a terrible allergic reaction. Fortunately, I was already on Prednisone for another problem and popped two Benadryls and rushed to the hospital. My eyes were swelling shut, as was my throat. I'm allergic to Sulfa but I was assured there was none in this drug. If you have allergies, be very wary of this drug.

For some odd reason my kidneys hurt like heck when I take it. So I had to either bear the urinary pain or the pain in my kidneys(which was worst than the urinary pain)
this medicine is awesome!It helped me so much with my pain with interstitial cystitis.the only bad side effect was bad cottonmouth and a scratchy voice.

This was my first UTI. Treatment will turn urine orange-red color, which is normal. I experienced some dizziness but it subsided after the first day. Only take for as long as you are on antibiotic, about 2 or 3 days, which worked very well for me.

I know when I'm getting a bladder infection. I've lerned over the years to recognize it immediately. First I make an appointment with my Doc andthen go by Pyridium. Works like a charm....only one thing though, I have to double the dose to get the soonest effect.

I am a chronic UTI sufferer and can't believe how long it took me to discover this treatment. It is truly a life transforming medication. 30 minutes until relief when sometimes it has taken me 8 hours of suffering before I can function - even though I always have Cipro right at my fingertips so I can take it the minute I have a hint of UTI.

I used this drug last year with UTI and it was great. It really relieved the burning,and feeling of having to "go". But, I just used it again for the same reason and my heart has been racing. So I got on this web site to see if any problems with others. Well many of you have the same problem, it's in the trash right now.
this medicine caused my wife to be re-admitted into the ER 4 hours after taking it. The doctors told us that if she would have waited another 30 minutes or so, she would have been dead. Allergies to the medicine can cause death.
I got a sudden painful UTI and the doctor prescibed me this medication. He warned me that it would turn my urine dark orange/red, but I was still shocked at HOW orange/red it was. This medication is wonderful as it almost fully took away the pain and burning when urninating. I'm thankful this medication exists!
I was given this medication along with Macrobid for a bladder infection. I've had many, many, many bladder infections (even 2 kidney infections) and have never been prescribed 2 medications for it. I didn't know exactly what it was for, the doctor said it was to relieve the symptoms. After taking this for 3 days and reading about it, I don't think I'm going to continue it. Aside from the urine discoloration (which doesn't bother me), it has seemed to make it sting more in between urination. It doesn't sting when I go, but after I'm done, it stings worse. The antibiotic (Macrobid) by itself has worked just fine for me in the past for relieving the symptoms.

I get UTI's a couple of times a year. Sometimes they're so bad I clot and see blood. This really, really helps with the pain. Take your antibiotic to kill the infection, but take this to get rid of the pain. Nothing works this good or this fast! The only side effect I get is nausea...but I can never tell if it's because of the infection, my antibiotic or if it's this drug. Either way, this stuff is amazing at stopping that unbearable pain and the constant urge to go.

This is an amazing medication!! It completely takes away UTI pain & discomfort within 30 minutes. Works great and last a long time (was told to take 3x a day) Turns your urine dark orange/red, but it is harmless.
It took the pain away, but I have a weak stomach, so I sometimes felt nausea when taking it even with food. Also, my left side of my upper back hurts, so I am wondering if it is a side effect on my kidney.
i have had 2 UTI's inthe last month. The first antibiotic was leviquin. The second was sulpha. Pyridium was used in conjunction with both. Both time s I had a 3 day migraine headache- it has to be the pyridium. Never again.

It works wonderfully, no pain after the first pill, I just wish they could do something about the nausea. Even eating didn't help.
I had my uterus and left ovary removed 15 days prior to being diagnoised with UTI. My right side of my belly felt "full" as if a balloon that was blown up to max. also had alot of pain on entire right side of stomache. This medicaine was great,I was unable to urinate before taking this and Bactrim DS. I would highy recomend it to anyone suffering with UTI pain

I was prescribed this after surgery on my kidneys and UT. It worked fine the first few days, then on the 4th i started itching when I took it, and burning. I stopped taking it, and the itching and burning went away. I recommend this drug for a few days, but no more than 3.
This has definitely helped the symptoms of my UTI, which had been making me completely miserable. All the urgency and pain I was having seemed to go away after I took the first dose. I'm not fond of the fact that it turns your urine orange, however.

This blog is a condensed version of an article from the National Sustainable Agricultural Coalition. To read the full article go here.
Celebrating Local Food by Taking Action for Family Farmers
Every time you reach for a perfectly ripe tomato at your local farmers market or pick up freshly laid eggs at a roadside farmstand you are supporting not just your own taste buds, not just local family farmers, but a vibrant and diverse local food ecosystem. It may not seem like it, but that ripe tomato and those fresh eggs are intimately tied to federal policies made in Washington DC – particularly the farm bill.
Local food advocates are fighting to ensure that the 2018 Farm Bill (which needs to be passed by September 30th) supports family farmers and healthy food access. The House's draft farm bill, passed on April 12, was a disaster for the local food and sustainable agriculture communities. Among other concerning provisions, the House bill (if adopted) would effectively eliminate the Farmers Market and Local Food Promotion Program (FMLFPP) and the Value-added Producer Grants Program (VAPG) by providing them with no farm bill funding. Thankfully the Senate draft farm bill, which passed on June 8 with strong bipartisan support, stood in stark contrast to the House bill and rightly recognized the important role that local food systems play in our national economy and local communities.
Now that both the House and Senate have passed their respective versions of the bill, the next stage is for Congress to work in a "conference committee" to finalize a single bill that can pass both the House and Senate. This is a very important time to be watching the policy process and staying engaged with our legislators because programs that support farmers markets hang in the balance.
The Senate bill makes significant long term investments in farmers markets, small farms, and local/regional food economies through a new program called the Local Agriculture Market Program (LAMP), which combines all the great things about the FMLFPP and VAPG programs and ensures mandatory farm bill funding for the work. On the other hand, the House bill would effectively eliminate these important programs and make drastic cuts to others that support family farmers and healthy food access. Cuts to these programs would represent a massive step backwards for farmers markets, seriously undermining a decade of investment in local food systems and agricultural economies, and putting markets and farmers in jeopardy.
So, how can you engage in the policy process to support farmers markets and local food systems?
- Contact your Senators and Representatives and tell them that you support the Senate farm bill and that you want LAMP included in the final bill.
- Shop regularly at your community's farmers markets – and bring a friend, too!
Farmers depend on people like you and me to be part of the celebration and solution. And, of course, for us to show up to market each week eager to buy the fresh, delicious food that they worked so hard to produce. Please remember to support your local family farmers both with your dollars and by being an active part of the policy process.

Nearly 30 subsidiaries of South Korea's family-controlled conglomerates may be newly subject to a ban on inter-affiliate trading when the nation's antitrust watchdog toughens a related rule, a market tracker said Wednesday.
In a policy report last month, the Fair Trade Commission said it will seek to revise the law forbidding inter-affiliate trading within a business group whose owner and family hold 30 percent or more of listed affiliates by lowering the threshold to 20 percent. For unlisted subsidiaries, the limit is 20 percent.
Should the law be amended as reported, 28 more subsidiaries of the 57 conglomerates with assets of 5 trillion won or more would be subject to the ban on inter-affiliate trading, according to CEO Score, a website that monitors conglomerates.
Currently, the rule governs 203 units out of 1,802 subsidiaries belonging to conglomerates, known here as chaebol.
|Fair Trade Commission Chairman Kim Sang-jo (Yonhap)
Such trading is blamed for allowing owner families to easily net large profits by having subsidiaries award lucrative contracts to each other, undermining the principle of fair competition.
CEO Score said the revision of the law would have a considerable impact on major business groups as the 28 companies are their cash cows or play a key role in their governance structure.
The firms include top life insurer Samsung Life Insurance Co.; Hyundai Glovis Co., the auto freight unit of South Korea's Hyundai Motor Group; and SK D&D, a property development arm of SK Group.
