BERKELEY LAKE - Mayor Lois Salter on Thursday shared with the council her findings regarding residents' concern over the changing demographics at Berkeley Lake Elementary School."Several residents have expressed their concern over this," Salter said. After trying unsuccessfully to establish a citizen committee to look into the issue, Salter took on the task herself. Berkeley Lake residents have been voicing their fears about a possible decline in property values because of the increasingly international makeup of the school's student body. In a letter to Salter from Principal Leigh Westcott, Westcott acknowledges that, while demographics have changed over recent years, standardized test scores meet or exceed standards, and 100 percent of the students passed the language arts portion. Salter's written report to the council said "the student population is about 30 percent white with increasing numbers of ESOL (English as a Second Language) students." Based on further research Salter conducted comparing county and state data, she added, "What stood out to me in studying this data was that although they do have a growing percentage of ESOL students, the test scores do indeed continue to look very good. Their (the school's) population as compared to other Gwinnett County schools has less black students than the county average and more Asian and Hispanic ones. The large majority of retained students were Hispanic." The mayor has also taken residents' concerns to District 2 county commissioner Bert Nasuti, who reassured her there are several factors that should help keep Berkeley Lake property values healthy. "(Nasuti) noted that the county has not been approving any more multifamily residential developments for quite some time," Salter said. Nasuti also made reference to a planned police precinct in the Peachtree Corners area, which will be much closer than the Gwinnett Place-area precinct which now serves Berkeley Lake. Also, the planned park/aquatic center just across Peachtree Industrial Boulevard from the city will be under way soon, an attractive feature to both current and prospective homeowners nearby. Salter also said she has persuaded officials to add a dog socialization park to Pinckneyville Park, adding to that park's value to residents. Salter concluded the report by encouraging residents, whether they have children enrolled in the school or not, to get involved by volunteering. "Our citizens of all ages could visit BLES regularly to read to students, to share their talents or experiences in specific careers, to mentor struggling students as individuals, or to do any number of volunteer tasks." Council considers cutting back meetings Council members will vote at the next council meeting whether to continue to hold two meeting per month or scale back to just one, which would be held on the third Thursday of every month. New city inspector, procedures on board City residents can soon go online to request building permits soon, City Clerk Jackie Wall said. Permit fees also will be published on the city's Web site. "I think this is going to be a good thing for the city," Salter said. Under the new policy, residents do not have to travel to Lawrenceville for permit issues, then duplicate some of the same efforts for the city. The entire process is a city matter now, saving homeowners time and money. Permit fees are lower than when the county was involved because, the mayor said, "We don't want to charge citizens any more than we have to." Permit and inspection fees are not intended to be a source of revenue generation for the city.

WorkFirst NJ
The state's welfare reform program, WorkFirst NJ, emphasizes work as the first step toward building a sustainable and stable future. The goal of the program is to help people get off welfare, secure employment and become self-sufficient, through job training, education and work activities.
WFNJ provides temporary cash assistance and many other support services to families through the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. Cash benefits and support services to individuals and couples with no dependent children, are available as well through a General Assistance (GA) program. Services under WFNJ are limited to five years.
Under the supervision of the NJ Division of Family Development (DFD), the 21 county welfare agencies administer the TANF and GA programs.
To be eligible for TANF/GA you must:
You can apply for TANF and GA online or go to your local Board of Social Services.
Apply online.
Contact your County Board of Social Services.
Emergency Assistance (EA)
WFNJ clients may receive emergency assistance in certain situations. Benefits under this program include, but are not limited to: essential food, clothing, shelter and household furnishings; temporary rental assistance or back rent or mortgage payments; utility payments (such as heat, water, electric); transportation to search for housing; and moving expenses.
Eligible persons include those who are homeless or at immediate risk of becoming homeless, and those who have experienced a substantial loss of housing, food, clothing or household furnishings due to fire, flood or similar disaster. EA is limited to 12 months, though extensions may be granted under certain hardship circumstances. Contact your County Board of Social Services to apply for EA.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
The state also provides financial assistance and services to people who cannot work, due to a disability or other reason. People who are disabled may qualify for the federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. This program is also managed by the County Board of Social Services.
Once applications have been received for WFNJ programs you will participate in a personal interview. Should you have questions before that time, you are advised to call ahead and make an appointment to meet with a case worker. Case workers have been trained to assist you and are most familiar with all eligibility and program requirements.
Legal Services/SSI Initiative
WFNJ recipients who may be eligible for federal SSI benefits can now get free legal help. The Division of Family Development has established an agreement with Legal Services of New Jersey (LSNJ) to assist these recipients in either filing for SSI benefits or appealing a denial of benefits.
The project primarily targets WFNJ recipients who currently receive a medical deferral from work requirements for at least 12 months, or those who are participating in the Emergency Assistance Pilot for the Long-Term Chronically Impaired. Recipients may call the LSNJ toll-free number 888.LSNJ.LAW (888.576.5529) for assistance.
Family Success Centers
Family Success Centers may offer services that could help you during these difficult times. Centers are community-based, neighborhood gathering places where any community resident can go for family support, information and services. Centers are designed to enrich the lives of children by strengthening families and neighborhoods; provide integrated, locally-based services; reduce isolation and promote connections among family and community; and provide services in a warm and welcoming environment. Services are provided at no charge.
Pick up the phone and dial 2-1-1 when you need help.
You are encouraged to dial "2-1-1" 24 hours a day, seven days a week if you need help in understanding and finding available assistance services. NJ 2-1-1 staff is trained to help identify with you the best local resources to fit your individual needs during times of financial distress or for life's everyday situations. Language translation and TTY services are offered to any caller. You can also search our database for services in your local community. All services are FREE of charge, supported by local United Ways of New Jersey and NJ state government.

When Broadway comes to Buffalo. No, it's not a special showing at Shea's Performing Arts Center – its the New York Rangers coming to town to give the Buffalo Sabres what could be their 2013 curtain call.
With their win over the Florida Panthers last night, the New York Rangers pulled back ahead by four points, and have a game in hand on the Sabres still. A regulation win by the blue shirts tonight – would end the Buffalo Sabres late season heroics at trying to catch the NY Rangers for the final playoff spot.
Since dropping a miserable game to the Montreal Canadiens, the Buffalo Sabres have won three in a row, a recipe for disaster for the Blue and Gold because they have not been able to win four in a row in the 2013 campaign. Advantage white.
Coming off one of the best games he has played all year, expect Ryan Miller to be back in the net tonight for the Buffalo Sabres. Buffalo will need him to be in the same form tonight that he was in during the Boston game – if the Sabres are going to have a chance at the playoffs. Advantage blue. While mathematically speaking the Sabres are still in it, the Rangers know better. They will rest Henrik Lundqvist and go with Marty Biron in net. Advantage Blue
It should be an interesting game. The teams have split the games so far this year, with both teams winning on home ice. Advantage blue.
If the Rangers don't come in tonight respecting the Buffalo Sabres game – spotty as it may be – the blue and gold could turn the tables on the Rangers and send them back to Manhattan flattened. Buffalo will have rested a day after playing an emotional game in Boston. Hopefully the Rangers expunged all their energy while defeating the Florida Panthers last night.

The 61st Atlantic Coast Conference tournament is scheduled to tip off Wednesday afternoon, and there is a new look to the tourney this year.
Some former Big East powerhouses have crashed the party, and everyone is looking to say an early goodbye to the Maryland Terrapins, who are leaving for the Big Ten.
The Pitt Panthers met expectations coming into the season, as they were picked to finish sixth in the conference and actually placed fifth.
The newcomers entered the ACC with a new look, as freshman 7-footer Steven Adams departed to the Oklahoma City Thunder of the NBA, while senior point guard Travon Woodall and center Dante Taylor graduated. Junior guards J.J. Moore and Trey Zeigler transferred from the program (to Rutgers and TCU, respectively).
True freshmen Michael Young, Jamel Artis and Josh Newkirk entered the fold and gained immediate playing time for a team that lost the majority of its scoring. Key returning players included seniors Lamar Patterson and Talib Zanna, junior Cameron Wright, and sophomores Durand Johnson and James Robinson.
This season was certainly a wild ride for the Panthers, beginning the season 18-2 and entering the rankings; 17th would be the highest they climbed. In the mid-to-late season stretch, Pitt hit some roadblocks, finishing the season 5-6 in its last 11 games.
The loss of sixth man Durand Johnson to season-ending injury was a serious blow to Pitt, but freshmen Newkirk and Artis have certainly stepped up in his absence.
Overall, a 23-8 record isn't too bad, considering how much coach Jamie Dixon lost. I think fans are more discouraged by how Pitt finished, the weak non-conference slate, and an inability to close out tight games. (Next year will be exciting as the Panthers will be in the Maui Invitational, with the possibility of playing Sean Miller's Arizona Wildcats squad).
I won't go into all of the close finishes, because I am sure us Pitt fans are all aware of the last-second losses. I won't be forgetting about Tyler Ennis' dagger anytime soon, nor hearing Bill Hillgrove's disappointed voice as Malcolm Brogdon buried a 3-pointer to give the Virginia Cavaliers a 48-45 win at the Pete.
Though I thought Pitt was safe after their unbelievable comeback win on the road against Clemson, the "experts" are still considering Pitt as on the NCAA bubble. Maybe a win against either Notre Dame or Wake Forest on Thursday will help.
Joe Lunardi currently has Pitt as a 10 seed playing Kentucky, whereas Jerry Palm has it as an 11 seed playing Saint Louis. USA Today lists as one of the "last five in," facing Arkansas in a play-in game.
This makes me a bit uneasy, especially as I was expecting Pitt to be anywhere from a 4 to 6 seed last year, and they got an 8 seed and had a date with Wichita State (who is now 34-0 after their run to the Final Four last season).
Regardless, Pitt can change the experts' perspectives with a solid ACC tournament run. Hopefully the Panthers can get past their first game Thursday and set up a great matchup with James Michael McAdoo and 15th-ranked North Carolina.
If Pitt can get by the Tar Heels, there is the potential to square off against the ACC regular-season champion Virginia Cavaliers in the semifinals. The 'Hoos are ranked sixth in the country.
These games could certainly give Pitt a little boost for the tourney, if the Panthers could get revenge on some of the teams who defeated them.
As for my predictions, I am going to go with Wake Forest over Notre Dame, Miami over Virginia Tech, and Georgia Tech over Boston College in the first round.
In the second round, I am predicting Florida State over Maryland, Pittsburgh over Wake Forest, N.C. State over Miami, and Clemson over Georgia Tech.
Looking at the quarterfinals matchups, these were more difficult to predict, but I am going to say Virginia over Florida State, essentially ending the Seminoles chances of a NCAA bid. I truly believe Pitt will get revenge on a North Carolina squad that was on fire until losing to Duke last week.
I think that N.C. State, primarily lead by sophomore sensation T.J. Warren, will upset a struggling Syracuse in one last effort for a tourney bid. Then Duke will outlast Clemson in a game where freshman Jabari Parker is too much to handle.
As for the semifinals, I think Pitt will fall to Virginia in a hotly-contested defensive battle just like we saw at the Pete during the season. To me, Virginia seems to be a mirror image of Pitt teams from the past, playing suffocating half-court defense and stepping up in the clutch. Duke will end the Warren show, stopping the Wolfpack's chances for a bid.
In the finals, I am going to predict that Virginia gets revenge on Duke and eventually becomes a No. 1 seed on Selection Sunday.

Sorry for the mix-up with the Trinidad post. I do a lot of research all at once, and it's usually during sleepless nights, when I'm not functioning properly. Add to that my lack of organizational skills and it's no wonder that pictures often get saved under the wrong names. I usually catch the problems before publication, but when I'm rushing to publish something (like when I've just finished a three-page essay on George Foreman), the occasional error slips through the cracks. This isn't the first time it's happened, and I doubt it'll be the last, so thanks for sticking with me.

Progress 2013: Bigger towns focus on infrastructure
The towns of Front Royal and Strasburg share much in common this year as they work on their wastewater treatment facilities
By Alex Bridges
Strasburg and Front Royal share similar futures this year as two of the area's largest towns addressing major infrastructure needs.
Strasburg Town Manager Judson Rex in a recent interview highlighted some of the major initiatives and projects ahead for the locality.
"The town is seeing substantial progress with a lot of projects that have been discussed for many years and we're finally seeing those coming to fruition, beginning with the water treatment plant and continuing with the other projects," Rex said. "I think the projects we're working on now are ones that only come up every 20, 30 years really for the town.
"So I think as we're able to finish up these large-scale projects we'll shift our focus back to managing the assets that we have," Rex added. "There's always going to be infrastructure projects that we have to complete to keep the system in shape."
Town officials expect the new water treatment plant to go online soon, at least for testing purposes.
"So we're testing out the different components and hopefully we'll have substantial completion done within a month so we can hopefully start producing water come spring time," Rex said. "So that's something that we expect to check off this year, if you will.
At the same time, the town continues to work on the expansion of its wastewater treatment plant. Officials hit a snag in the fall when the lowest bid for the project came in at approximately $11 million higher than estimated. But in the months that followed, Town Council, staff and the low-bidding firm, PC Construction, tried to reduce the estimated cost of the upgrade. The price remains higher than the $20 million estimate provided by the engineering firm.
"In 2013 there's several different directions that project could take depending on what progress we could make with our engineers and our potential contractors on the project," Rex said. "If we're able to bring the cost down to affordability for the town, then I could see that project moving forward to construction."
The town recently advertised a need for information from experts on how Strasburg could either cut the project costs or find other ways to address wastewater.
"If we're not able to bring the cost of the project to where the town needs it, I can see us going back through a process of redesign ... and trying to find out how best to meet our wastewater treatment plant needs," Rex added.
With the completion of the water treatment plant, the town has money leftover that it needs to spend by the fall on any other related improvements, Rex noted. But how the town spends the money remains unknown. A water system study has recommended the town build another water tower for reserves, but the proposal sparked outcry from residents who live near the potential sites for such a tank.
No matter what improvements Town Council approves, Rex said he anticipates some kind of work on the water system because of the spending deadline. But given the timeline, Rex added that he does not expect construction of a water tank to begin this year.
"It's still a project the town needs and will pursue," Rex said.
Instead, the town manager foresees Strasburg spending the money to replace water lines.
"So I think 2013 is a year for infrastructure improvements for the town," Rex said.
Town officials also expect to see progress on initiatives years in the works - the utility and Downtown Streetscape Enhancement projects. Plans call for the town to replace many of its water and sewer lines along King Street, then to make enhancements to the streetscape on the road from Fort Street to Holliday Street.
Improvements to the lines and sewers are set to begin in March, according to Rex.
Strasburg officials also are in the planning phase for a sidewalk that would extend from downtown along U.S. 11 to the Food Lion shopping center. The town has $40,000 in its current budget to go toward preliminary surveying and design for the project.
Front Royal
Front Royal shares much in common with Strasburg, at least in the coming year as its Town Council addresses wastewater treatment plant needs. A plan to upgrade the Front Royal plant remains in the planning and design phases.
Front Royal recently began moving department offices from Town Hall to a new location in the former BB&T bank building on Main Street. Front Royal purchased the building in 2011 and began making renovations to accommodate most town departments. Likewise, the finance department will relocate into the new government building. Town Manager Steven Burke said officials hope to complete the transition by the middle of February.
Transportation improvements also should keep Front Royal and Warren County leaders busy. As Burke explained, the town and county are working with the Economic Development Authority to hire a consultant to design the Leach Run Parkway - a road seen as a way to alleviate traffic congestion in Front Royal.
Much of Front Royal's progress in 2013 relies on how far along leaders move on plans to create a looped water system to the business-rich U.S. 522 corridor.
Progress for some local governments can mean figuring out ways to do more with less. As with other localities, Strasburg officials expect to begin work on the fiscal 2014 budget.
Strasburg continues to see revenue remain flat with no growth anticipated, Rex said.
"However, we are dealing with increased costs of operating and providing services, so that will continue to be a battle for us as we try to use our revenues as efficiently as we can and still not affect the level of service that we provide our residents," Rex said.
Strasburg leaders anticipate moving forward on the annexation of the Northern Shenandoah County Industrial Park. The moratorium that halted the annexation of the park in Shenandoah County just to the north of town ends in June and officials plan to investigate the pros and cons of adding the land to Strasburg and how best to develop the property. Town Council could decide by the end of the year whether to annex all or part of the park.
"We see the industrial park as the best opportunity the town has for economic development and revenue growth into the future," Rex said. "So it's an exciting time to be able to have that coming into town."
Like Strasburg, Front Royal faces the possibility of adding land to the town limits, the results of which could bring in more revenue. Town Council and the Warren County Board of Supervisors continue to discuss and debate the merits of a request filed by the Front Royal Limited Partnership to annex approximately 600 acres from the county to the town.
Exact details of how the private firm intends to develop the land remains unknown, though officials have indicated the owners may seek both residential and commercial uses. Such development may not happen for years, officials have advised, but reaching an agreement on the annexation and the future uses could happen this year.
Front Royal and Warren County leaders may likely use 2013 to continue their discussion of how best to help the town recoup lost revenue by supplying utilities to the U.S. 522 Corridor.
Like Strasburg, Front Royal continues to work on upgrading the town's wastewater treatment plant. The project is still in the design phase as town officials work with a consultant.
Burke said each projects does have a cost assigned.
"We have been working with our financial consultant to evaluate our sewer rates to fund the upgrades to the wastewater treatment plant," Burke said.
Front Royal also is partnering with the state in a revenue-sharing program to fund the construction of the Leach Run Parkway project. The town will pursue other avenues for revenue to fund the remaining projects.
Pedestrian access such as sidewalks and crossings remains an initiative for Front Royal.
"A number of those projects we're hoping to complete this upcoming year," Burke said.
This year also marks a milestone for Front Royal as the town celebrates its 225th anniversary. Planning began last year. Now the town is in the process of ordering memorabilia and other anniversary items Front Royal officials hope to sell for the celebration.

KUALA TERENGGANU: Felcra Berhad is offering jobs in its plantations to youths without permanent work to reduce the agency's dependence on foreign workers.
Its senior executive Che Mohd Zainun Abdul Jalil said that Felcra had developed 24,000ha in Terengganu, with 22,000ha planted with oil palm and the remaining with rubber.
"However, most of the workers are foreigners," he said.
He said that Felcra was prepared to develop abandoned land belonging to individuals under its land consolidation and rehabilitation programme.
"Profits from the projects will be given to the owners depending on the land size," he added.
Che Mohd Zainun also said that Felcra provided opportunities for participants to farm cash crops like maize, watermelon and lemon grass for supplementary income.
"They can do so while waiting to harvest the oil palm fruit of tap the rubber trees," he added. — Bernama

Useful Tips For Successful Creation And Accumulation Of Wealth
There are no big secrets and techniques in creation and accumulation of wealth and anybody can do it. What is important is to understand the need for creation of wealth in the first place. One should clearly know that it is simply not possible to beat inflation and erosion of the local currency merely by earning income from salary or small businesses. Hence, there is a need to set apart some part of income towards income creation avenues. The practice should be started when the individual is young and has just entered the income creation world. When the habit of saving becomes regular and one becomes disciplined about it, there is reason to believe that over a period of time enough wealth will be created. One should clearly understand that living high and living in a luxurious home with the best of car is not all about being wealthy. Being wealthy is being able to enjoy a lifestyle that is different from leading a life.

When this happens it is quite likely that most of us would drop the entire process sooner than later. However, while being realistic it is also important to set some time frames by which they plan to achieve the process of creation of wealth. Only when the above two are in place, will we able to devise the right wealth creation and accumulation plan. While being goal focused and oriented, it is important to also be flexible because these plans cannot always be put in a straight jacket.

This will help you to take corrective decisions if you find that you are not going in the right direction. It will help you to do away with such wealth creating avenues and opt for better ones.
How Valuation Can Help Monitor Wealth Accumulation
There is no doubt that creating wealth is not something that could be considered as a choice. Given the uncertain world that we are living there is no denying the fact that one should get into the task of creating wealth from an early age. Creation of wealth takes time and those who believe in delayed gratification are the ones who will be able to create wealth and enjoy it when it matters the most. Many youngsters believe in spending their earnings and borrowing beyond their means in order to satisfy some immediate needs and desires. This is a wrong approach and sooner than later they will find themselves in deep trouble.
Today there are literally dozens of wealth creation option and if one spends some time on the internet they will surely be able to come across quite a few such wealth creation ideas. One could invest in stocks and shares, they could buy real estate properties purely from the investment perspective or also invest in valuable commodities like gold, silver, precious stones and also crude oil.
While there might be many such wealth creation opportunities it is important to ensure that we are investing in the right areas keeping in mind a few important criteria. First and foremost, the investment should be safe and we should be able to get back our principal without any problem. Secondly, the returns should be reasonably attractive without being abnormally high. Thirdly, the investments should have liquidity so that it can be converted back into money whenever needed.
There also is the need to have a periodic review of the wealth creation methods and also find out how much wealth has been created over a period of time. Towards this objective there is no doubt that the role of property valuers is extremely important. They help not only in valuing the entire wealth portfolio and coming out with the current market value of the same, but they perform a lot of other services too.
Professional property and asset valuers help in counseling customers about the way in which their wealth portfolio is moving. If they find that some course corrections need to be made, they help out with various suggestions and advices. They also can play a role in looking at such wealth creation methods from a futuristic point of view. Hence, taking the above points into account there is no doubt that quality valuers and wealth creation methods are closely related to one another.
Wealth Accumulation Explained The Simple Way
There is no doubt that creating wealth is a technique that has to be learned early in the day. As youngsters we should be taught the virtues of savings and keeping something apart for the rainy day. We have to understand and also make our children understand that saving wealth is not a one-day operation. It takes years for the wealth to be created and calls for a lot of patience and understanding. It is something that requires a sense of sacrifice and believing in the concept called delayed gratification. This is the biggest challenge with modern day youngsters who believe in enjoying all good things in life immediately. While there is nothing wrong in it one should also understand that setting apart a bit of today's earning augurs well for the future.
Today there are literally endless options of wealth creation. Therefore finding one that suits specific requirements and needs should not be a problem. However, it is important to choose the right asset creation methods keeping specific need and requirements and mind. While accumulating wealth importance should also be paid to easy liquidity. This is very important because as individuals we would need to have some easily available forms of assets in case of unforeseen emergency. Safety and security of the assets where the money is being invested is also something that should be borne in mind. It would not be advisable to run after assets that offer unhealthy returns because it may not be sustainable in the long run. Choosing the right types and forms of asset is also very critical to ensure that you are able to build a solid wealth portfolio over a period of time.
Evaluating and valuing the asset portfolio on a regular basis is also something that cannot be ignored. Though you may be disciplined as far as setting apart some money for regular wealth creation, it is vital that it gets invested only in the right portfolios. The performance of the portfolios has to be monitored closely and if needed the help of a good valuer should be taken. However, it has to be borne in mind that ordinary real estate valuers would not be in a position to go in for such valuation. You should look out for valuers who have specific experience and expertise in this area. If needed, you could also take the help of financial experts to ensure that your wealth creation juggernaut is moving the right way.
How To Accumulate Wealth Smartly
The moment we take up a job after completing our studies, the first thing that should come to our mind is to set aside a portion of our earnings towards savings. This is something that is very hard to come by. The habit of saving is extremely difficult for youngsters who believe in living only for the day. While this might be excusable for the first one or two years, once the youngsters have gained some experience and expertise in their jobs or businesses, it is very important that they start realizing the importance of saving something for the future and also for the rainy days. Saving early in life plays a big role in helping create wealth. While saving is all about small amounts, wealth creation when done properly is all about having time, money and security together in a package. The importance of creating wealth will be understood only when a person reaches an age where he is not able to perform as productively and efficiently as he was able to do when he was in his prime age.
Today there are many avenues for wealth creation and hence if you make up your mind to create wealth there are no dearth of opportunities. Investing in shares and stocks, investing in commodities and last but not the least investing in real estate is without any doubt one of the most important ways by which we can create wealth. While there is no doubt that there are many avenues to create wealth, it is also important for us to be sure that we are moving in the right direction as far as wealth creation is concerned. This has to be done by regular evaluation or valuation of the wealth that has been created.
Towards this objective it is very important to take the help and assistance of valuers who have experience in such valuation. A typical real estate property valuer may not be able to do the job.

They will look at all wealth creation avenues that you have chosen. They will ask you to give emphasis on those avenues that are doing well while asking you to either go slow or stop saving on avenues which they feel is not giving you the desired results. Hence, valuing your wealth once in a while is something that should never be ignored.
Tips On Accurate Valuation Of Wealth
Creating wealth is not something that is the domain of the rich and privileged. It is something that is now becoming extremely necessary even for ordinary job goers and small business men. However, creating wealth is an art and it is best learnt when we are young.

Only then will it be able for us to find out where the wealth is headed. It is quite possible that some wealth creation tools might be doing very well while others could be posing problems. Only when we get into the habit of valuing wealth on a regular basis would we be in a position to take corrective steps for those wealth tools that are not doing well. We may have to swap some wealth tools, get rid of some and get into some new avenues.
Valuing wealth and that too on a regular basis is not easy and it calls for the services of professional valuers and appraisers. They are the right persons who will be in a position to find out the current status of the various wealth portfolios that we may have created over the years.

There are several extremely important and crucial reasons for getting into the habit of wealth creation at an early age. Unless one learns and implements the tricks of wealth creation at an early age, once a person reaches a certain age, it would be very difficult for him to do it.

Towards this objective it is very important for you to find out way and means by which you are able to value the wealth on a regular basis.

Creating Wealth The Valuing Them – Why They Are Important
Creating wealth is no longer a luxury but has become an absolute necessity. Given the rapid rate at which inflation is growing, the real value of money is getting eroded very fast. Hence depending on small bits of incomes like pension and government dole outs would be peanuts to say the least. Hence, one should get into the habit of creating wealth from a very young age. As soon as someone gets into a job it is important for them to set apart at least 15 percent of their earnings towards a fund that will help create wealth over a period of time.

Savings should be started at a young age and only then will it be possible to create wealth over a period of time. Apart from that there are quite a few important tips that could help you to create wealth easily and without putting your daily life into any turmoil.
Falling in debt is perhaps the biggest impediment for those who would like to create their good wealth over a period of time. The interest that is payable on the debt can literally paralyze a person and pour cold water on all his ambitions to create wealth. Hence, staying away from debt is very important for wealth creation. Finding out the right sources of investment is also very vital if you are keen on creating the right kind of wealth. You should look at avenues where the interest rates are high apart from ensuring the safety of the investment.
Outside food eats up a lot of our disposable income and hence this should be reduced to the maximum extent possible. It is important to try and eat home cooked food, which at the end of day is also very healthy. Further it is also very important to value the entire wealth portfolio on a regular basis. This has to be done by a qualified and experienced valuer. This will certainly help us to find out the areas where we are going right and also find out the grey areas where correction needs to be done. This will certainly help in having a revisit to the entire wealth creation portfolio and take corrective action wherever needed. At the end of the day, there is no doubt that constant monitoring of the wealth portfolio, taking advice on various wealth portfolio options and being ready to play the waiting game are all very important for being a successful wealth creator.
Useful Wealth Creation Tips
We are today living in a world of materialism and this is perhaps the biggest reason why the younger generations in particular do not understand the importance of saving and wealth creation. Most of the younger groups of people are after instant gratification. While there is nothing wrong in enjoying life and making the most of today, it is also important to think of tomorrow. Small bits of savings when started at an early age can go a long way in creating reasonably big wealth over a period of time. Simple things like saving at least 15% of your annual income and investing it in some wealth creation avenues will go a long way in securing your future when you are reach the age of 60.
However, it is important to choose the right vehicle for wealth creation. It should not only yield good returns but also must be safe and secure. You should also look for wealth creation plans that also offer tax benefits and tax concessions. If you are not sure about the right option to choose you should not hesitate to take the help and assistance of professionals. You ca take the help of chartered accountants and also property valuers for getting the right advice on wealth creation.
The role of valuers is very important because they help you in finding out what exactly is the value of your wealth at any given point in time. This is very important because the valuer will tell your where exactly you are headed for with the current mix of wealth creation portfolios. If there are some grey areas he will help you to take corrective steps. Hence, apart from taking the help of financial consultants for choosing the right portfolio, the role of valuers is also extremely important. You have to be sure that you choose only those valuers who have experience in this line rather than choosing the ones who are more apt at valuing buildings and homes.
Tips On Making Wealth And Building On It
Wealth creation is a habit and also calls for developing discipline and making small savings a habit. Wealth is something that is not created overnight and there are no magic wands of getting rich overnight. It is process and has to be gone through diligently and regularly. Further one has to understand the importance of creating wealth at an early age. This is extremely vital because all those who have understood the importance of saving early have been able to create reasonably big wealth over a period of time.
It is also important to understand the various avenues from where wealth can be created. Wealth creation is not all about saving money and putting in a bank account that yields very low rates of interest. It is about identifying the right avenues where there is a good chance of getting healthy returns. The risk factors of such wealth creation avenues should also be taken into account. One should not go overboard in their quest to create wealth and lose their hard earned savings just because they have chosen the wrong vehicle.
It is also important to pause at regular points in time and find out where exactly your wealth is headed for. This would call for taking the help of professional valuers. If you have invested in real estate properties you should regularly value the same and find out whether it is giving you the right kind of returns that you had expected of it. Though the market can be a good indicator, when you employ a valuer, you will not only be able to get a feel about the value of your real estate property but also other wealth creation portfolios that you may have in your kitty.
How To Build Wealth An Also Keep It
Today the modern financial world offers us various sources by which we can create wealth. We could choose the options depending upon our needs and requirements. It could range anything from savings in government bonds and securities to investing in mutual funds. Many wealth creators have created history of sorts by investing in commodities like gold, silver and other precious metals. There are some big business tycoons who have made billions of dollars by trading on crude oil and speculating on it. However for middle class investors it is always better to stay away from speculative saving because it is bound to backfire at some point in time. The success percentage of speculators in the wealth creation market is abysmally low.
Investments in land and real estate can be a great way to build wealth. If we look back and plot the growth of real estate prices, it is quite likely that even in the smallest of towns and villages the percentage could be quite astounding. However, before buying real estate properties it is extremely important to take the help and assistance of professional valuers for more reasons than one. They will assist you in finding out whether the particular investment is good from the long term view. Further, they will also offer some valuable advice and tips which could help you in your decision making.
Last but not the least, it is also very important to review your wealth creation portfolio so that you are able to take corrective steps as and when needed. For such review of your wealth portfolio the role of property valuers and appraisers is again very important and vital.

CHICKASHA – Entering post-season with one of the best records in school history, the Drover softball team is hopeful a powerful run in the tournament could keep their post-season dreams alive.
The University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (36-22) enters the Sooner Athletic Conference tournament as fourth seed, which is where SAC coaches picked USAO to finish in their annual pre-season polls.
CHICKASHA – The Drovers struggled on Tuesday night in the team's regular-season closer, dropping twice on the road at Oklahoma City, a team that is tied for 17th in the NAIA's most recent poll.
The University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (36-22, 18-14) will look to bounce back in the Sooner Athletic Conference tournament, which is scheduled to begin on Thursday.
In the first game, OCU (45-11, 25-7) scored two runs in the second inning and then found a rhythm, scoring nine runs in the third to put the game out of reach for the Drovers, who dropped 11-0.
CHICKASHA – The fifth-seeded Drovers are now looking to continue some strong performances in post-season as they enter the Sooner Athletic Conference tournament this weekend.
The round-robin style tournament spans four days, with each team competing in a game Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The team with the highest tournament record from each pool will compete in the SAC Championship on Monday afternoon at OCU.
CHICKASHA– An impressive offensive showing from senior Ryan Wescott is what led to him being chosen as the Sooner Athletic Conference Player of the Week for the week of April 21-27.
In the week's three games, which the Drovers went a perfect 3-0 against Southwestern Christian, Wescott had a batting average of .643 (9-for-14) with two home runs and 10 RBIs on the weekend.
Five of those runs batted in came in one game when he used two timely hits, including a three run homer in the first inning of the second game of the doubleheader.

CNN originally reported that the Supreme Court found that the individual mandate is not a valid exercise of the commerce clause and that it appeared as if the Supreme Court had struck down the individual mandate. Then CNN followed up by saying that the court actually did uphold it under the taxing clause, with a narrow reading of the U.S. Constitution. People are calling this a screw-up.

Both reports were correct.
Five to Four, the Supreme Court has said that although the individual mandate (that everyone must obtain health care coverage) does not stand via the commerce clause, in essence it stands via the provision in the U.S. Constitution for Congress to tax the American people. This is because people who do not obtain coverage will have a fine "taxed" onto their yearly income taxes, via the IRS 1040 income tax form and/or another form.
Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution states that Congress is allowed to "lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States."
The Supreme Court is not saying that the health care law in and of itself is constitutional, as per Article 1 Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution. But instead, it is saying that taxing people who don't have coverage is constitutional under this section because it is viewed as "Providing for the general welfare of the United States." By saying this, they are not saying "general welfare," as in our personal health care welfare. it is saying that the taxation is needed for the "general welfare," as in the fiscal welfare of the United States (the money.)

In other words, the court is saying that if Congress feels that the fiscal (monetary) welfare of this nation is harmed by people who do not obtain health care coverage, that it is in the best interest of this "general welfare" of the United States to tax such people in order to make up some of the revenue that is lost each year by uncovered hospital visits, doctor visits, etc. This is because otherwise, the cost largely goes to taxpayers and people who do pay for health care coverage, which hurts the overall economy.
What was exposed:
Basically, the Supreme Court has said Obama's health care act's core reason for being is in fact to place a tax on people who already cannot afford health care coverage.
Obama had sworn he would not put any new taxes on anyone earning under $250,000.00 a year. Many of us were fully aware that he was lying, as were many of us fully aware that Obama's health care act was simply a back door to taxing of the poor and an increase in the overall cost of health coverage on most everyone else. This is, of course, excluding Congress and presidents, who are all excluded from the act.

This fig tree, with its big veiny leaves is the one for me.
Unfortunately the company's based in New York. So I'll have to ask around the local garden centres.

User One : In which an Art Experience is happening.
Here is our beginning.
We can finally start looking and examining.
Take one step forward onto the red x, facing in the direction the arrow is pointing towards.
This marks our starting point. From here we will begin our exploration of the art world.
Welcome to the degree show.
You are listening to a sound piece by Rebecca Dunne, exhibiting for her degree show.
For the duration of this piece we will explore the space we are in and investigate what the space means for art.
For the past nine months, the diverse range of media artists in their fourth year have been working in here, generating their ideas into works to be shown as the pinnacle of their student career.
They have vacated the space, for the most part, occupied space around the college to exhibit their work.
Where you stand now, more than one artist created their degree show work.
There is a certain element of mystery you may experience as you cannot determine who this was, and it is more than likely you will see their work later, or have already experienced it.
The history of the space, recent and from further in the past before this location was used as an art college, lends itself to the piece you are now experiencing.
How many people have stood here before you and thought the thoughts you are now thinking?
We cannot determine exactly, and it is entirely possible these thoughts have never been thought here before, as this is a completely new and original piece.
Let us for a moment consider the empty space before you. Take a step forward into the room, just beyond the arrow on the ground. Allow the space to surround you. Although this may sometimes be referred to as 'negative space', this is in fact not negative. It is occupied and it holds the previous inhabitants movements. There are traces on the found where they once walked through. Their footsteps pressing into the ground, leaving an almost visible impression in the physical space. You can almost feel the depressions in the floor as you walk over it.
The black chair in the corner holds the weight of the entire history of the place on its fragile legs.
It never held the weight of a student, but of all.
Perhaps you should allow the person behind you to experience this space as you are now. They may become a little impatient; don't allow this to become an issue. We will move forward in a moment and we can discuss the rest of the space.
Look behind and acknowledge the person behind you.
Nod to them to let you know you understand.
We are moving towards the black panels propped up against the wall, surrounded by debris and scraps of wallpaper. Stop just before it.
The walls were torn down, the layers covering them torn and scratched away. We may consider the artist who looked at these walls, stripping them bare in order to start anew.
His creation begins in the destruction of what went before him. The history of his own little space, the previous artist's wallpaper, their graffiti, were torn away before he could begin his own formation of art.
He has moved on to another space, inhabiting a sterile exhibit again to make his own.
To overlay that space with his own meaning and own art. Here we just see the remains, the ruin and historical studio space once occupied.
Continue on, we are walking to the apparent construction site, wooden beams and white painted panels propped up against the wall. Standing before it, we allow ourselves to consider the planned construction. We can almost feel the intensity of work we have just missed out on, almost see the sawdust still falling towards the floor…the dust just settled, we may speculate on what was planned; what great construct are we looking at the leavings of? No doubt the whole structure is within the college, elsewhere, in the exhibition.
The nails scattered on the floor amongst the dust and scraps could have held this whole thing together.
Move over in front of the window, to the extreme right of the bench beside the black piping.
From here we can see the other places the artists from this studio are exhibiting.
On the far right, the top floor of the glass panelled building flooded with light holds the work of eight of the artists who previously occupied this studio.
Moving down to the end of the bench, to the extreme left, you can see the stairwell that leads up to the Noel Sheridan room, which three artists are occupying. Look beyond the residue of the paperwork on the window. These panels of work are completed.
The stairwell may be symbolic in some sense, as the ascent to the room is not an easy one, much like that of the artist's buildup of work in the weeks leading up to an exhibition.
Turn around.
Walking back into the centre of the room, allow a moment to consider the mustard coloured chair holding fast in the heart of the studio.
It seems to occupy a particularly vacant space in the room. The clear, clean rectangle on the floor, void of dust and debris, scraps and rubble.
An air of mystery hangs over this area, impenetrable almost, dare we even step within this sector of nullity? We cannot know for sure what took place here, it is almost sacred in its form.
Do we light a candle? Do we speculate, or attempt to recreate the ritual we seem to have only just failed to catch? Perhaps we just leave it and let the dust settle.
Turn to your left, walk just out into the corridor and wait there, just out of the way of the door.
You must wait for the person behind you.
They won't be long, they are on the same path as you are.
At this point, the viewer behind you will come up and greet you.
You are now invited to swop your headphones. That's right, take them off and hand them to the other person, they are going to do the exact same.
There is no need to pause the track, just take them off and swop.
Put them back on and keep going.
Put them back on and keep going.
Put them back on and keep going.
*****THE SWAP- This is now User Two.*****
Thankfully not much has changed, and this will still continue as it would have before.
You're both going to walk back in in a moment, but allow the other person to go first.
They need to look at things in the studio closer, look again.
You're going to feel as though there is something larger going on, but you're not quite sure.
How could it be predicted? It's probably not, yet…
You can re-enter the red carpeted studio.
Walk towards the desk you initially collected your headsets from, past that meticulously clean space in the middle of the floor (that is surely there for a reason?).
Walk beyond the place the other person is standing, stand beside the white shelving unit.
You can look at the script displayed right above the shelves.
Now this is it.
There is nothing hidden,
it is all laid bare.
In a moment the other person will look your way.
Invite them over to where you stand; beckon them over, gesture, be friendly and welcome them.
You may even shake hands.
Give them one of the leaflets from inside the box once they come over.
You've completed the walk.
This is the end.
User Two : In which they disrupt User One's experience of art.
We are starting this piece where the x is on the ground.
The person ahead of you is probably taking this too seriously, they could be spending far too long looking at that space.
It most likely means nothing. They are probably thinking about how the space has been used by other people, people have moved through this space. But how are we to know who they were, or how they moved through this space? We don't. I don't, you don't, the person in front of you certainly doesn't know.
Move them on.
Stand right behind them.
Give them a little nudge if you need to, let them know this is where you need to be right now. Don't be afraid, they'll understand.
Perhaps they'll understand in a different way, but they won't mind.
You need to stand there now, let them know.
They're going to nod to you and move on.
They have no idea what's going on, really.
But that's art.
What lies before us?
An empty studio.
It is not an exhibition space, nor is it a gallery space.
We may be talking about a journey, the same journey the person in front of you is on, but we are going to consider a very different inference of the space than they are.
Let us take what we know.
We know this was a studio. It was where the fourth year media class worked from the end of September up until about two or three weeks ago.
-Move forward, stand in front of those black boards, beside the ripped down wallpaper and scraps.
We know there are seventeen students who occupied this space.
So, we may assume the studio did not look like this for the whole year.
Well let's be logical.
In order to accommodate all of them, it surely must have been more cluttered.
It must have been grubbier.
Stains on the walls, blue tack still sticking, nails left in.
Are they still there? There are some left…
It certainly looks like a used studio, a once occupied working space.
Walk forward again, position yourself beside those wooden beams and scraps.
Try to align your movement with the person in front of you.If they are moving towards the window, you are one step behind them, beside the white and wooden scraps.
Imagine you are told this space did not look like this the whole year;
that everything in this space was put here purposefully as a prop.
Are they not real studio paraphernalia?
Who knows.
Walk forward to the window, stand on the extreme right of the bench.
You'll be looking to the right, to the glass building within the college campus.
Some other media students have moved over there to exhibit.
Exhibit: publicly display their work of art or item or performance of interest.
Make pristine the space they occupy and present their art in a show.
Conceal the true use of the space, and the regular history of it.
Paint it up, clean it up, present a show.
But I will never get rid of those masking tape marks from the window and there's no point in pretending they were never there…
X's and O's. That game was never completed you know. And it wasn't all games here everyday…
You can turn around and survey the studio.
The person before you is probably leaving the studio.
They will be waiting in the corridor for you.
You can take a moment to look at the whole studio on your own.
So what if it's all constructed deliberately?
Does it matter that this may not be the authentic studio you're lead to believe it is? How do we know it's not?
It's not that it all means nothing.
It just could mean anything.
Walk out the door the first person walked through.
They are waiting for you, and you will now swap your headsets.
Take yours off, hand the headphones and mp3 player to the other person.
You'll take their set and put it on.
You'll take their set and put it on.
You'll take their set and put it on.
*****THE SWAP- This is now User One.*****
Now the changeover has taken place,you are partaking in a work and creating it.
You are on the same journey and moving forward together.
You may move back into the studio first, before your fellow colluder moves in.
Walk past the desk where you initially collected your headset, past that white board where the traces of a colourful project remain, crushed to the ground. Walk over to where the carpet is covered with white protective plastic sheet, let us stand in front of this wall.
The ghostly remnants of previous work stain the very walls we look at now.
The red rectangle shines through, almost like a scar to remind us of the intense creative working period, nine months in gestation.
The superficial attempts to hide these indications of laborious work have been in vain, the cracks that have come through on the skirting board are evidence of that.
The process of healing the space, of concealing what went on, has been abandoned. It was a futile task, the space is transparent when we examine it.
Look around, look to the corners.
Boxes, air, fillings; how many projects have been abandoned here, how many half formed ideas linger in this space?
The artists have moved on; their expectation of this space failed to bring it to another level.
There is no exhibit; there is no great gallery.
There is the pure, magical evidence of traces of work created here.
Turn around and face the other participant.
They are calling you over, beckoning you to them.
Go over and accept the leaflet they are offering you.
You've completed the walk.
This is the examination of art and a culmination of thought.

Before stating a budget, determine how accurate the estimate must be. A rough order of magnitude estimate depends on past project estimates. It requires more research than simply stating a ballpark estimate off the top of your head. A detailed estimate requires using actual information about the project, such as the number of laborers, to come up with the budget. This estimation technique requires more work than a rough order of magnitude estimate but is much more accurate.
Estimation Techniques in Project Management
Project managers can use many estimation techniques to stay within the budget. According to CIO magazine, an estimation or cost is one of the three main constraints in the project management triangle. The other two parts are time and scope. The best estimations will keep the project management triangle balanced.
Set Accuracy Levels
Bottom-up Estimate
This estimating technique requires finding the cost of lower level tasks and then adding up all the costs for a total project budget. This is one of the most accurate ways to estimate a budget because it is easier to figure out costs for small tasks than for large ones. For example, you can estimate the cost of each item on a grocery list to get an estimate of the entire list's total. Typical costs in projects include hourly labor rate, equipment cost and cost of materials.
Top-down Estimate
Top-down estimates are when you decide on a total maximum budget then figure out how much of the budget will go towards each task. This technique is often used when a client seeks bids from many vendors. Vendors submit a total budget and, if chosen for a project, provide more details on how the money will be used.
Phased Estimate
Estimating the phases of a project is a compromise between top-down and bottom-up estimating. Estimating a phase is more detailed than coming up with a total maximum budget but less detailed than breaking down each task's cost. When each phase is completed and the budget is used, each successive phase budget becomes more accurate because project managers use past phase information for the new budget.
Parametric Estimate
These estimates are based on assigning a dollar amount to a basic unit of work. This is an accurate estimation method because you use past information from similar projects to create a new rate and basic unit of work. For example, a book editor can look at past projects and charge for editing based on dollars per hour or page as the basic work unit.
Cash Flow Schedule
The cash flow schedule helps project managers see when money is used or available during the project. This ensures that each phase or time period has enough money to complete the work. You can use project management software, such as Microsoft Project, to track cash flow on the project timeline. Carefully plan the cash flow schedule so that money is spent wisely.
