Policy and Research
Creating an Autism Friendly Workplace
We need your help to develop a tool to adapt the workplace to better suit the individual needs of adults on the autism spectrum. We need the help of employers/manager/supervisors or co-workers of employees on the autism spectrum to complete two 15-minute surveys.
Benefits of taking part
By helping us develop a workplace tool this will assist us in understanding how employers can adapt the workplace specifically to the needs of adults on the autism spectrum. In the long-term we hope that this will lead to more people on the autism spectrum remaining in jobs that they enjoy in a workplace tailored to meet their individual needs.

All The Great South Carolina Search Engine Optimization Advice You Need
The point of search engine optimization is to boost a website's chance of being found on search engines. This helps people increase the income that comes in from their site through boosting visitor numbers. The tips you will read about will maximize your SEO skills.
When setting up pages using SEO, it is usually better to have multiple short articles on similar topics than to have one extremely long article. Long pages don't carry as much weight with the search engines as short ones do. Also, many viewers don't read the whole article if it is too long.
In order to use search engine optimization to increase your visibility, your website must be well coded. If you are using a messy Javascript code for content, you may find your site getting much less traffic, because the spiders are incapable of indexing things from your site. In addition, you won't be indexed if you have Flash included without a description written out.
To help you to rank highly on search engines you'll need to take advantage of the meta tags for "Title", "Description", and "Keywords". The larger the variety in your meta-tags the more likely it is that your website will be ranked high in a given search. If your website is about eyewear, some good keywords to include might be "glasses," "eye glasses," and "glases."
It is important to use a name that is rich in keywords for your domain. Picking a keyword that people search for as your URL will ensure that your website is easier to find in search engines. Not all clicks to your website will come from your marketing efforts. Some people will stumble on your site while searching for similar products.
Learn what kind of experience they have in SEO. You will want to find out what risks are involved in order to make the best decisions for your site Let genganic organic search experts improve your SEO.
If your goal is to improve your ranking, you must make your site search engine spider-friendly. The spiders will move through your site, looking at your content and keywords, but they need to be able to get around easily. Create a detailed sitemap for your website. This will allow the web crawlers to index your site with ease.
People might come to your website in droves, but if they click away after 5 seconds, it's not going to help much. It is believed that the length of time that someone spends on a website will have an influence on the website's PageRank. There is more and more evidence suggesting that how long a visitor stays on a site affects their PageRank, according to Quantcast scores. Forums and other discussion services are a great way to keep your visitors on your site for longer.
Product feeds are an excellent way to generate more site traffic, which will help you build a larger base of customers. Things regarding your business such as prices and product descriptions can be listed in these feeds. Enticing potential customers to click onto your site, could mean a profit for you. Feed readers make subscribing to your feed easy for your customers, too.
Try including transcripts for videos or audio you post to your site. These transcripts will help search engines better place your website in relevant searches.
To avoid the spam filters of the search engines, avoid duplicating any content on your site. This could happen by accident. For example, a duplicate description of a product is a no-no.
It's important to make sure that each picture on a website has an "alt" tag. Alt tags display to visitors if they have chosen not to view images on your site. The point here is that the search engines pay attention to alt tags, so if you have keywords sprinkled into your alt tags, search engines will take them into account.
Use plural or longer variations of keywords to increase the opportunity for your site to pop up on search engines. Keyword stemming is a strategy that some search engines use. This means that the keyword "accountant" may not be enough to bring in people who search for "accountants" or "accounting." Use keyword stemming by using a longer version of a word, such as "accounting" to get results for "accountant."
SEO improves your ranking when your keywords are searched for. This works out favorably for website owners, since more exposure means more traffic, popularity and revenue. With these tips, you can do SEO on your website.
Why New Jersey Search Engine Optimization Is Crucial To Your Success
You may find it helpful to hire an outside organization to handle at least soome of your site's SEO. This will enable you to focus on key elements of SEO while leaving time to make modifications to your site. You may find the information you were looking for to increase your knowledge and success in this article.
When you are employing search engine optimization strategies, do not fall prey to the idea that advertising on the side has anything to do with your rankings with the search engines. Sure, advertising can mean more visitors, but that doesn't immediately equate to better page ranking. Want to grow your business online?
Good search engine optimization relies on keyword density. To avoid this from happening, keep the total number of keywords on a certain page under 20%.
A domain name which contains your keywords can be a real boost to your efforts. You want to make your website easy to find when people are searching for it on the web. Not all clicks to your website will come from your marketing efforts. Some people will stumble on your site while searching for similar products.
Using proper anchor text is important to your internal links on your site. Using the words "click here" is not going to help your search engine rankings because it is too generic. Selecting the optimum keywords to use in anchor text will really get you noticed by the crawling spiders.
You should sell yourself to others as a specialist in your field. This tactic can really bring in the cash. You can do this by starting a website focused around your niche. You can additionally implement search engine optimization strategies to attract as much targeted traffic as possible. Make sure you know what customers want, and be sure to give it to them.
If you are wanting to make the most of search engine optimization, then you need a site map describing your website. Search engine spiders will crawl the site more easily with a site map in place. A large site might require more than one site map. One map should have less than 100 links.
If you want more traffic to your site, you should improve your content first. Visitors will not waste time perusing a site if they cannot find what they want, so getting your content up to par is a good way to keep traffic steady.
If you host video or audio content on your website, try to include transcripts. Your audio and video content will be better understood by search engines if you use transcripts.
Blogging on your own website will lead traffic to you, rather than another site. Of course this leads to increased visitor numbers viewing your website.
Videos along with a video sitemap can increase your site's SEO. You can use video for introducing your staff or yourself or to showcase products. Use effective keywords to label the video, then display it on your site. After you create the video sitemap, submit it using your Google Webmaster Tools in your account of Google Webmaster Central. Once you have done that, display the video on other sites, such as Yahoo, YouTube and Metacafe. Then, just sit back and watch the visitors come in.
Invest in online advertising like adwords or adbrite. Do it yourself search engine optimization may sometimes not be enough to see a significant increase in rankings. These advertisers specialize in increasing your hits. Using advertising can help your site grow.
Use the right anchor text when interlinking your site. You need to steer clear of particular words, since they won't help the optimization effort. Consult an expert to help you craft your anchor text.
A good thing to remember about marketing on the Internet is to always try to tie current events into your offerings. This means you attract visitors who began searching for something that was not related to your subject. This can also make your site give more information to the people that visit often.
Make sure you implement the use of social networking sites as a means to improve your SEO. Connecting with your customers on a personal level can really make all the difference.
Use the tips offered here as a stepping stone to higher site rankings and great success for your business. It's easy to learn and implement good SEO strategies, which will lead to your rankings steadily growing.

text: 189 FXUS63 KPAH 200858 AFDPAH Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Paducah KY 358 AM CDT WED JUL 20 2016 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Friday night) Issued at 335 AM CDT Wed Jul 20 2016 Main forecast issues with this package center around the heat headlines, where to possibly upgrade to warnings and extend current advisory in time. Firstly, today looks like a wild card in the deck as far as the overall picture that looks to be shaping up for the Thursday through Saturday time frame. Mid level cloud deck left over from last night`s convective complex could very well give us a temporary break from the oppressive heat in many locations today, esp along and east of the MS River. Much of the model data now suggests this deck could hang on much of the day. However, even a few hours of sun would pop temps into the 90s, so do not want to back off too much at this point. The bigger concern lies with the Thu-Sat time frame, when the upper ridge is really expected to build excessive heat east into the region. Surface temps could easily make it into the 96-98 degree range over the current advisory area, with heat index values up close to 110. Decided to invoke two major changes at this point. Firstly, even tho today may be iffy in many locations, decided to go ahead and extend the current advisory out through Saturday. Secondly, out in our far western four counties of se MO, where clouds may end up being less of an issue this afternoon, per collaboration with neighboring offices, decided to go ahead and upgrade to an excessive heat warning through Sat. This may well end up being the area that sees the highest heat indices the quickest. That said, I would not be surprised if advisories and warnings need to be expanded eastward across the rest of the forecast area in later forecast packages. Most all of the region could be flirting with 110 heat indices by the end of the week. .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Tuesday) Issued at 335 AM CDT Wed Jul 20 2016 The extended forecast period will start out with the expansive mid/upper ridge dominating the weather picture for the PAH forecast area, with oppressive heat and humidity in place and an unstable atmosphere, at least in the low levels. Plenty of sun, and mainly diurnal widely scattered shower and tstm development can be expected over the weekend, with a possibility of an isolated strong downdraft or two with better developed tstms. Highs should be in the middle 90s, lows in the upper half of the 70s. Dewpoints should stay in the middle 70s, even considering afternoon mixing, what little there is. This will yield heat indices between 105 and 110, especially on Saturday, which should be a tad warmer than Sunday. The ridge will begin to lose some of its influence next week. The medium range models now appear to be in reasonable agreement through the extended period with the overall mid level flow across the CONUS. A persistent shortwave centered near the Canadian border is progged to make its way eastward toward the Canadian maritimes. The ECMWF has recently been bullish on digging the shortwave into the upper Midwest and therefore slowing its forward speed, however the 00Z run now moves it along, similar to the other models. This is supported by the GFS/EC ensemble means solutions. This feature will induce a trof of low surface pressure and a frontal boundary which will trail across the Midwest. According to the initialization blend of models, the front will make it into the PAH forecast area by Sunday night/early Monday (the ECMWF depicts a tad slower fropa). The frontal boundary will provide low level focus for scattered showers and tstms across the region during the day Monday (the best PoPs of the extended period), tapering off from the north Monday evening. The leading edge of drier air may not make it all the way to the AR/TN border by Tuesday, therefore shower/tstm activity may still occur in that vicinity. by Tuesday, highs should cool at least five degrees compared to Saturday. && .AVIATION... Issued at 1147 PM CDT Tue Jul 19 2016 A decaying thunderstorm complex over southern IL as of 0430z will send an outflow boundary across the taf sites by 08z. Winds will shift into the north for a couple hours in the wake of the boundary, along with some showers and possible thunder. Overall, no change in the weather pattern is expected this taf cycle. MVFR vsbys in fog will be common around sunrise. The fog will burn off shortly after sunrise, followed by scattered to broken diurnal cumulus. Winds be light and variable. Isolated thunderstorms will be possible again Wednesday in this very humid and unstable air mass. However, sparse coverage and lack of a specific time-frame precludes mentioning them in the tafs. && .PAH Watches/Warnings/Advisories...

AOL To Slash A Third Of Its Jobs
AOL, the struggling Internet company, announced it's cutting a third of its staff as it prepares to spin off from parent Time Warner next month.
AOL, which now employs 6,900 workers, is asking for 2,500 volunteers to accept buyouts and plans to resort to layoffs if it does not get enough people.
Last month, the company's chief executive, Tim Armstrong, announced a strategic shift for the company, toward building "a large platform around content and monetizing that content." To support this new strategy, AOL has in the past six months grown its staff of journalists from 500 to 3,000, he said.

Lots of anime choices to watch and friendly people. This was my first meetup and I guess it was not held in the regular area so won't comment otherwise about that. The only this I would like to have seen more of was interaction betweenwith members. I would love to get to know others better, possibly make some new friends with any luck. Overall, worth going and meeting new people, seeing new anime.

Ukraine: APK-Inform to not change its forecast on grain harvest in 2014
According to analysts of APK-Inform Agency, in 2014 the general grain harvest in Ukraine will total 57.4 mln tonnes, which completely meets the previously announced forecast, declared Rodion Rybchinskiy, Head of Business Projects Division of APK-Inform Agency, on July 31 within the press-conference "Conditions and prospects of the grain market of Ukraine in 2014/15 MY".
He called the decline of the planted areas under grain crops due to unfavorable weather conditions during the winter crops planting campaign, isolation of the planted areas in the Crimea, and difficult political and economic situation in the country, as the main factors which cause formation of the harvest volumes in the current year.
At the same time, favorable agro-climatic conditions during the period of vegetation allow to receive rather high yield indices even in terms of low financing of agricultural production in the country, said R.Rybchinskiy.
The expert added that due to rainy weather in some regions of the country during the harvesting campaign, agrarians harvest grains with high moisture content, which requires additional drying, resulting in lowering of the yield level.
In addition, the expert noted that some fields remain unharvested, due to active military operations in Donetsk and Lugansk oblasts.
Also, R.Rybchinskiy added that in the current year Ukraine is expected to reduce the production volumes of some niche crops, including buckwheat, rice and peas.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Stewart's ability to evoke a setting is richly apparent in her latest tale (after Thornyhold ), which takes place on Moila, a remote Hebridean island. Cambridge professor and writer Rose Fenemore seeks quiet and inspiration in a rented cottage that she expects to share with her brother, a doctor and amateur bird photographer. An unforeseen delay in his arrival gives her a week of solitude, during which time she is profoundly affected by the starkly beautiful landscape and abundant, almost fearless wildlife. Her peace of mind is shattered one rain-swept evening, however, by two unexpected visitors. Ewen Mackay, charming and persuasive, says he had been the former tenant of her cottage, and was unaware the place had been let. When, later in the same night, another man arrives, drenched and agitated, he tells Rose and Ewen he is simply seeking shelter from the storm. The visitors are jumpy, evasive and mutually antagonistic, and Rose's suspicions are aroused. The mystery of their relationship and real purpose, never menacing, is quickly solved, and takes second place to Stewart's vivid rendering of Moila's lochs, glens and wild birds, especially the graceful stormy petrels who nest there. A subplot about an irresponsible land developer seems an excessive afterthought. While devoid of real suspense, the tale is nonetheless laced with charm and good humor.

From Kirkus Reviews
By the English author of Thornyhold (1988), etc., more atmospheric romance, but here in a slight, mere wisp of a novel set in Scotland's Western Islands. The scenery, however, is grand. Rose Fenemore is a tutor of English at one of the Cambridge colleges; she also writes poetry and now needs an ``ivory tower'' retreat. Brother Crispin promises to join her for a holiday on the Scottish island of Moila but is delayed. Alone in her cottage, Rose is at first terrified, then angry and puzzled, by the night arrivals--separately--of two men. Both are strangers to her. Ewen Mackay, who lets himself in with a key, claims that the cottage was his childhood home and hints that he was the love-child of the now- deceased Colonel Hamilton, owner of the nearby ``Big House.'' But the man who calls himself John Parsons turns out to be the Hamilton heir. There are curious break-ins at the Hamilton house, and odd movements of Ewen's boat, the Stormy Petrel. As Rose puzzles, and enjoys the scenic wonders of the island, others arrive--including two of her students; Crispin; a Mr. Bagshaw (ex-con and developer!); and, at the finale, two policemen. Before the crowd thins, the island is saved from development, and a romantic interest is hinted. But all this is a mere puff beside the cries of birds, boom of sea, and ancient artifacts. For Stewart's many followers, a pleasant armchair holiday in a wild and lovely landscape. (Literary Guild Dual Selection for Fall) -- Copyright ©1991, Kirkus Associates, LP.

next year they may have net earnings of around 100 million. problem is present market cap is 1.6 billion. plus u have the class b shares - in order to buy all of those u may have to pay another billion. then u have plenty of debt. so someone taking over has to pay about 3 billion and gains net earnings of 100 million - for a 3 % yield on investment?? doesnt make any sense. way too overvalued.

We have 2 gable vents in our roof (approx 2' high or so), one at either end, and upon inspection it does not appear that there is really enough overhang in the roof for soffits. I still have to inspect it closer from the outside, but they are for sure not installed at this time. The roof is also slate, so going in through that is not really an option we'd like to pursue. If we install a attic gable fan on one end, will there be enough air flow through the attic to make this project worth our while in terms of heating/cooling costs, or should we go another route?
I can tell you from experience in my house a slate roofed colonial, it will make a difference. Even with the fan mounted in an attic window that is that is 3 inches off the floor of my walk-up attic the temperature drop in the attic was 30 degrees.Most fans will have a spec sheet telling how many square inches of ventilation opening they require. It is important to remember that you are calculating square inches of unimpeded opening so subtract for louvers and other obstructions. In my case I have a large peak where hot air tends to get trapped. If we have several days of very sunny and hot weather I place a small table fan on the attic floor. With the small fan pointing up it circulates the air to remove the hottest air trapped at the ridge.
In terms of most efficient usage of money, I suspect weather stripping will have a bigger impact on an older home. Sealing all the gaps around doors and windows will cut down on drafts. If fixing a window involves replacing it with a new energy efficient model, all the better.
Once the drafts are solved, insulation is usually next. But that can be expensive, especially in an older home where blown insulation is about the only way to get it in the wall, and that also has a habit of settling over time.
A fan in the attic will be a lot cheaper than insulation, and I'm betting that it will be a net positive. If I were to install it in your situation, I'd do the following:
For the timer switch, I'd install that somewhere easy to access, such as near the attic entrance inside your home or close to your thermostat. This way you can turn it off completely when the forecast calls for cooler weather.
Here's my ascii art of the layout:
For the GFCI/thermal switch, you can probably get both of those in a double J-box next to the fan for a clean looking install.
Do you have continuous eave vents and continuous ridge vents? It is recommended to actually close off gable vents if you have continuous vents because it messes with the convection flow along the underside of the sheathing.
There is way more radiant heat being put into a roof that one or two little attic fans can ever pull out of the attic to be effective. They would have to be about 4 feet in diameter or more to effectively remove that amount of heat radiated into the attic. There is just too much surface area heated by the sun on a typical roof for any small fan to handle. The heat dumped is more then made up for because of this simple fact.

The Chubb Corporation, through its subsidiaries, provides property and casualty insurance to businesses and individuals. The company operates through three segments: Personal Insurance, Commercial Insurance, and Specialty Insurance. The company is member of the S&P Dividend Aristocrats index.Chubb has increased dividends for 45 years in a row. The company announced a 5.70% dividend increase in February 2010, plus a 14 million share repurchase initiative.
Over the past decade this dividend stock has delivered an average total return of 5.90% annually.
The company has managed to deliver a 13.30% average annual increase in its EPS between 2000 and 2009. Chubb is expected to earn $5.30 share in FY 2010, followed by $5.60/share in FY 2011.
The Return on Equity has remained around 15% for the latter part of the last decade, after falling to as low as 2% earlier. Rather than focus on absolute values for this indicator, I generally want to see at least a stable return on equity over time.
Annual dividends have increased by an average of 8.70 % annually since 2000, which is slower than the growth in EPS. The disparity is mostly due to a gradual decrease in the dividend payout ratio and the billions of dollars the insurer has spent on stock buybacks.A 9 % growth in dividends translates into the dividend payment doubling almost every eight years. If we look at historical data, going as far back as 1984, Chubb has actually managed to double its dividend payment every nine years on average.
The dividend payout ratio has been on the decline, and is still much lower than my 50% threshold. 2001 and 2002 stick as outliers, since earnings per share were lower on high underwriting combined ratios. A lower payout is always a plus, since it leaves room for consistent dividend growth minimizing the impact of short-term fluctuations in earnings.
Currently Chubb is trading at 9.20 times earnings, yields 3.10% and has an adequately covered dividend payment. In comparison rival Travelers Cos (TRV) trades at a P/E multiple of 8 and yields 2.90% , while Cincinnati Financial (CINF) trades at a P/E multiple of 9 and yields 5.90%. Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) is also a competitor to Chubb(CB), although it trades at a P/E of 22, and does not pay a dividend. The company does spend a lot of its cash flow on stock buybacks, which could prove beneficial in the long run since it could provide above average dividend growth over time for the same effort. I like the company and its business model. Insurance companies like Chubb (CB) are a way for investors to fill in the need for exposure to the financial sector, after several high profile payers like Citigroup (C) and Bank of America (BAC) cut their distributions.I believe that the company is attractively valued at the moment; thus I would be looking forward to adding to my position in Chubb (CB).

1066 Therapy
covering East Sussex, Battle, Hastings, Bexhill, Rye, Heathfield, Hailsham, Eastbourne, Brighton, Crowborough, Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge, Ashford and Kent.
Psychotherapy, PICT, Lifespan Integration, EMDR, Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Therapy
Hello, my name is Beaula Page and I run 1066 Therapy (formerly known as 1066 Hypnotherapy) which is conveniently situated just outside of Battle in East Sussex along the A2100, one mile from Battle mainline rail station (regular taxi services) and is on a bus route. More about me…..
So, why the change of name? I changed the name to reflect my on-going commitment to continuous professional development: this has resulted in my being able to offer a wider range of therapy approaches, enabling me to help people more effectively with their problems.
The practice is easily accessible from most of the South East area and covers East Sussex, Battle, Hastings, Bexhill, Rye, Heathfield, Hailsham, Eastbourne, Brighton, Crowborough and is convenient for most of Kent including Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and Ashford.
The practice is set down a private track in peaceful, secluded surroundings ensuring complete privacy for all clients and there is ample, private, off-road parking.
Please scroll down page to view video testimonials from satisfied clients.
Psychotherapy is a well-established method of helping people with all sorts of psychological/emotional problems: there are a variety of psychotherapy models available and I specialise in one which is known as PICT (Parks Inner Child Therapy). I have also completed Level One Lifespan Integration Therapy training. EMDR was created in the 1980s and is one of the most researched therapy models available: it is also one of just two approaches for treating trauma recommended by NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence). Hypnotherapy and Hypnosis have been in use for centuries and can be effective methods of helping all kinds of problems, particularly those which have a psychological or emotional component to them. More recently, cognitive therapy & positive psychology is also proving to be useful to help manage a wide range of problems.
Psychotherapy, EMDR, Hypnotherapy & Cognitive Therapy can help with:
|Adverse childhood events
Weight Control
Fears & Phobias
Low self-esteem
Anger problems
Lack of Confidence
Psycho-Sexual Problems
Low feelings
Children's Problems
And much more…
What makes 1066 Therapy different from other practices / therapies you may have considered or tried?
I specialise in helping people who have experienced some form of 'trauma' or adverse experiences in their life, most often in childhood but it can also be in adulthood. The specialist skills training I have undertaken to do this puts me in a good position to also help people who may not have experienced any 'trauma' necessarily, but who still have psychological and/or emotional problems that they would like to resolve.
This specialised therapy is known as 'PICT' for short: the following brief description is from the main PICT website – "PICT is a powerful and versatile visualisation-based therapy model. It is an evolving form of cognitive therapy with a foundation in Transactional Analysis that incorporates Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to aid rapid positive change." I am a fully qualified PICT practitioner.
For problems which are not, for whatever reason, suited to the PICT process, I also offer Lifespan Integration Therapy, EMDR, Cognitive Therapy, and Hypnotherapy: I use an integrated approach with my clients where I tailor the therapy approach(es) to fit them and their problems.
