During the early hours of Sunday morning (one of the coldest of the year-24/3/13) the fuses in the rented property tripped. On exploration the fault was in the boiler and I call CJ Hole to report this. On getting through to someone in the office, they made me aware that they had been in touch with their maintenance contractors and someone would soon be in touch.
After a couple of hours, Id called back and the person at the end of the line was surprised that no one had been in touch, and so forwarded another message. This continued throughout the day (I called 5 times) until cold and in need of a warm bath, I booked myself into the cheapest hotel available.
The following morning, I called at 09:04hrs to be told people in the office were only just arriving and so I should call back, which I did at 09:30hrs. I was told that when I\'d taken the lease, I\'d ticked a box to say i\'d been given an emergency number and should have contacted that and so they would not cover the cost of a warm room and shower from the night.
They are aware that i\'m a disabled woman and that as the cold greatly effects my levels of pain I was shocked that they then decided to allow this situation to go on a further day while waiting for parts. They offered an electric heaters (one 2000w to heat a whole flat) , which I accepted (and had to take accept the further cost) and expected me to wash with water from the kettle.
They have expressed no sympathy for the matter , saying they have done all they are obliged to do and have chosen not to compensate me for any of the expenses occured.
What agent could do to change your mind?
Needs to offer a better level of service to Tenants.

I would like to offer my apologies to you for the way your calls to CJ Hole were handled last Sunday. Moneypenny look after calls for hundreds of estate agents, there to make sure calls are answered even when their offices are busy, during the evenings and at weekends too.
We have clear instructions from the team at CJ Hole that any calls on Sundays will not be returned until Monday as the office is closed. The fact that these explicit instructions were not followed for your calls is unacceptable, and I am very sorry for the inconvenience and distress this has caused you.

Dear Jane,
We are sorry to learn that you feel your maintenance issue was not dealt with satisfactorily by the team.
To date we have never received a complaint from a Tenant or a Landlord about the way an 'out of hours' maintenance issue has been dealt with. We at CJ Hole pride ourselves on the level of service we offer both our Landlords & Tenants so the issues you've raised have come as a shock to us. We (the office staff) share the 24hr call out phone 365 days a year so we can respond personally to calls from our tenants as we know each property so it is unfortunate that you called the office number to report the issues you were having (but out of office hours) rather than the 'out of hours' number issued to all our managed Tenants.
We will respond to your points in full directly to work out how these unfortunate events occurred and to make sure they do not occur again.

Apartiniums : Turning Back the Crack Shacks
The business license was revoked. The drug addicts moved on. The place started to undergo some heavy renovations. I thought it was just getting a facelift. A week or so ago, the work dwindled. A couple of days ago a big showy sign went up with a Web address at the top: "www.apartminium.com" I'm a geek, my curiosity was piqued.
It turns out that www.apartminium.com is the catch-all for a bunch of propeties undergoing renovations in the area:
So, is this a brilliant new strategy or one pulled from Monopoly?

Flight 705 : From Memphis to the FedEx HQ
FedEx Flight 705 was the scene of an attempted hijacking of a McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30 on April 7, 1994. Auburn Calloway, a FedEx employee, was due to be fired for lying on his résumé about his previous flying experience with the United States Navy. He boarded the San José, California-bound aircraft, which was loaded with electronic equipment bound for Silicon Valley, intending to murder the flight crew with hammers, and then use the aircraft for a kamikaze attack on FedEx Headquarters in Memphis, Tennessee. His reason for using hammers was so that the injuries inflicted would resemble those occurring in a plane crash — Calloway wanted to disguise the attack as an accident so that his family would benefit from his work's $2.5 million life insurance policy. As a last resort, he was also armed with a speargun, smuggled on board in a guitar case. Calloway attempted to disable the Cockpit Data Recorder to cover his tracks. Unbeknownst to Calloway, the 2 man flight crew that was supposed to fly that flight was replaced by a new 3 man crew, consisting of Pilot Dave Sanders, Co-Pilot James Tucker, and Flight Engineer Andy Peterson. Calloway, a former Navy pilot and a martial arts expert, decided to attack just minutes after take-off. He brutally wounded the flight crew with hammers, and fractured the skull of Co-Pilot James Tucker. A lengthy struggle ensued with the flight engineer and pilot. Co-Pilot James Tucker, also an ex-Navy pilot, managed to control the plane as the 3 men struggled in the cockpit.
By means of extreme aerial maneuvers the flight crew eventually succeeded in restraining Calloway, though all three crew members were critically injured and none would ever fly commercially again. Loaded with fuel and too heavy to land, Pilot Dave Sanders landed the jet safely at Memphis International Airport despite the dire circumstances. As the police gained access to the plane, by escape slide and ladder, the cockpit interior was covered with blood.
Auburn Calloway plead temporary insanity but was sentenced to life without parole on August 15, 1995 for attempted murder and attempted air piracy, which he is serving at the United States Penitentiary, Atwater federal prison in Atwater, California.
As of 2006, N306FE, the DC-10-30 involved, is still flying for FedEx.[1]
On May 26, 1994, the Airline Pilots Association awarded Pilot Dave Sanders, Co-Pilot James Tucker, and Flight Engineer Andy Peterson the Gold Medal award for heroism, the highest award a civilian pilot can receive. Because of their injuries, none of the crew has been certified as medically fit to fly commercially.
This incident was also featured on television, in National Geographic's Air Crash Investigation — Suicide Attack [2].

Robin Hood Fund
I got in on an early drawe and votes for the one thing I wanted that I couldn't get myself: a better Christmas for my Mom, niece and nephew. Their finances suck. I try to help, but with whatever I do, there is always room for more. So, I asked for "A Good Christmas" for the Mom. I let it be known to my friends that they could vote for my Mom's cause. They did and we won. So, I distributed $200 amongst them.
Today, I put together a video of the hand-off of the cash. Enjoy!
Did I mention that I was a fan of Robin Hood Fund and Cambrian House? They're cool.

What's in store for 2007?
Wrap up a Drupal development for The CI - Take a legacy system built many years back and drag in into the 21st Century: RSS, tagging, sophisticated CMS, flexible theming. The reason I did the Game-Boyz design to was as a testbed for the CI work. The CI is maybe 10 times more complex-- hence why my day-job project isn't done, but my side-project is done.
The Halloween Alphabet Book - I have 23 of the 26 letters done in Sculpey. After that, I have to do a pass over them with a dremel, gloss and paint to fix little flaws. I have to do up the background effects. Then built sets, set the scenes and with the help of my talented wife, shoot 26 keeper images plus a cover, do some post-production CGI and take it to a publisher. If they act like jerks, then I will published it via Lulu.
Cthulhu Ornaments - These sculpey ornaments made a big splash last Christmas. So, as possible, I will make new ornaments. I learned from a friend that because of the age of the Cthulhu property, Lovecraft's work is now in the public domain. So, I am going to pay homage to this century's first cat-loving, bigotted, sickly, shut-in geek who was unappreciated in life: Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Maybe Alan Quartermane deeps to hitch a ride to Ry'leh from Captain Nemo. Damn.. now another idea....
Drupal 101: 101 Tips for Developing Drupal Sites - I have about 5-10% of a book done for how to make a Drupal driven site. I have seen two books on Drupal: one devoted a third of the book to the subject. The other one, from Packt, devotes the whole book, but I have to wonder why. The book I am pitching with be about 1/3 background/foundation information; 1/3 themes and 1/3 module development. After sufering the ass-clowns in tech publishing, this book has only one destination: Lulu.
Making Money Online 101: Tips for Making Money Online - This isn't a "get rich quick" book-- it's a "get some money from your surfing" book. We use the web to get rid of stuff we don't want to haul to the dump; we get deals off of the web; we get pin money out of things like Google Adsense and PayPerPost; we get swag for doing product reviews.
Scavenger of the Battle - The first sci-fi book I did sucks. So, I've taken the concept and started over. The plot points will remain intact: a war that doesn't exist; a conspiracy to hide the truth; some of the characters. More than that, the titular character is getting its own role. Three guesses where I intend on publishing this one when it's ready.
I have other ideas, but I would prefer to get the above items off of my to-do list first. Then we can see what else is possible in the Year of the Finish Line.

I did a cheeky Google search to see if my Facebook page would pop up and sure enough......
It did! This is a huge relief because that means my work can be searched by potential agencies and clients. The next step is to make business cards!

The RDS is an independent, voluntary, global down standard that places a great deal of emphasis on animal welfare. The standard is owned by the Textile Exchange and certified by a third party, Control Union. RDS was developed over a period of three years and reviewed with the support of animal welfare groups, industry experts, brands and retailers. The standard recognises "best practice" (the best methods/processes) in the field of animal welfare, and excludes companies that violate the welfare of the animals.
The down in our products is carefully selected in order to ensure that it comes from suppliers that meet the high standards required to ensure animal welfare. This is guaranteed by the RDS certification, which makes tracing possible. This means the products can be accurately labelled, allowing consumers to make informed and educated choices.

We were the first to tell you that Shah Rukh Khan would do a sizzling item song with Sunny Leone for Rahul Dholakia's Raees. Now as the original Don Amitabh Bachchan sang 'Woh Ghadi Aa Gayee Aa Gayee'.
Shah Rukh and Sunny Leone are currently grooving to choreographer Bosco's dance steps and Kalyanji-Anandji's chartbuster 'Laila Oh Laila' from Feroz Khan's Qurbani which was sung by Amit Kumar and Kanchan and filmed on Feroz Khan and Zeenat Aman.
The shooting started on Saturday and will end on Monday.
The new version of the song being filmed on Shah Rukh and Sunny has been re-mixed by Ram Sampath. The voices are yet to be decided. Says director Rahul Dholakia, "It's quite an iconic song of its times and lends itself beautifully to the situation in our film. Bosco is the choreographer. At present we've recorded it with new singers."
Adds producer Ritesh Sidhwani, "We are yet to decide the final voices for the song."

| View Exclusive AAUP Compensation Survey Data |
Families are spending more on college, but parents are less concerned about that investment paying off, according to the results of a new survey from Sallie Mae, the student lender.
The study is based on phone interviews with 800 traditional-aged undergraduates and 800 parents of traditional-aged students. It is the eight installment of the survey. Results show that spending on college was up across the board this year, but that a 25 percent increase by high-income families was responsible for the bulk of the increase. Parents' out-of-pocket spending exceeded scholarships and grants for the first time since 2010.
However, fewer parents reported being "extremely worried" that their college-student children won't find a job after college -- 13 percent said this in 2015 compared to 27 percent the previous year. In addition, fewer parents were worried about student loan interest rates. Overall, six of 10 families did not borrow money to pay for college.
Oregon's governor, Kate Brown, a Democrat, on Friday signed a bill to create a free community college grant, several news outlets reported. Oregon follows Tennessee as the second state to fund a statewide free community college program. The legislation includes $10 million for qualifying students, who will each receive at least a $1,000 grant. The state also will spend $7 million on related student success and completion programs.
The news earned a celebratory tweet from President Obama:
Congrats to Oregon on passing two years of free community college! Every hardworking student deserves access to higher education. — President Obama (@POTUS) July 17, 2015
Congrats to Oregon on passing two years of free community college! Every hardworking student deserves access to higher education.
Earlier this summer, the Department of Education proposed new regulations addressing the management of Title IV funds and the distribution of financial aid refunds. As a system with 32 community college campuses that serves nearly 200,000 students, Ivy Tech processes on average 155,000 financial aid balance disbursements each year.
This is a huge undertaking and one that we take very seriously, as students use their disbursements to pay for books, supplies and other living expenses.
Many of our students -- 61,000 of whom receive Pell Grants -- rely on the speedy and safe delivery of their student aid to ensure they can pay their bills and continue their education. Without significant modification, the proposed regulation would create unnecessary challenges for us to provide students with their financial aid refunds in a timely, secure manner. While many provisions of the proposed regulation seek to limit fees and tighten security measures, several aspects unfortunately have the opposite effect.
A Move Back to Paper Check
Today, institutions can decide whether to offer paper checks as an option for disbursement among the other options for electronic disbursement. In the event that students do not choose any method for receiving their funds, they will be mailed a paper check. This method has allowed institutions to encourage and promote electronic delivery, which is a more secure and a timely method for students and institutions. Requiring institutions to provide the up-front option of a check goes against decades of encouraging electronic transfer of funds for many consumer purposes, including government benefits and employee earnings.
This will be operationally challenging for our system, and it also would provide a ready market for check cashing services and their exorbitant fees. Again, other provisions of this regulation seek to limit fee exposure to students. Unfortunately, the requirement to provide paper checks up front will expose many students to check cashing fees.
Increased Risk of Financial Aid Fraud
Under the new requirement, colleges would be limited in what information they could share with their third-party disbursement providers. No data, other than a student's name, address and email, would be permitted -- information that is too vague and opens up exposure to financial aid fraud.
Without the ability to securely authenticate the identity of the student and share additional information, including the amount of a student's disbursement, third parties would have no way to process these transactions with the level of security and accuracy that they do today. We need to find middle ground on this issue, which could be accomplished by giving third-party providers access to refund amounts and unique, nonpersonal student identifiers.
Federalization of the Disbursement Process
Under the proposed regulations, the education secretary is reserving the authority of the department to operate the credit balance disbursement process -- essentially an invitation for unnecessary complication and delay.
Institutions and their students would be required to use the department's system, whether or not it met the unique needs of a particular college and despite logistical burdens on both institutions and the department. Additionally, any system developed by the department is unlikely to deal with non-Title IV funds, requiring institutions to have redundant systems for the delivery of this aid, which could lead to more delays and errors.
The distribution of financial aid disbursements to our students is a process we take extremely seriously. Students must receive this aid quickly and securely to ensure they can benefit from the education they receive at Ivy Tech and other institutions across the country.
Like the department, we want to protect our students' financial well-being and provide the least expensive, least burdensome and most financially secure systems. Unfortunately, despite good intentions, the proposed regulation in its current form would be a step in the wrong direction -- a step many students can't afford to take.
Thomas J. Snyder is president of Ivy Tech Community College, Indiana's statewide community college system.
New report calls for expanded effort to reach out to students and their families with financial aid information -- years before they will apply to college.
Missouri Governor Jay Nixon, a Democrat, announced Saturday that he will veto legislation that would bar students whose parents brought them to the U.S. without legal authority to do so from participating in a state student aid program, The Kansas City Star reported. The legislation "flies in the face of what we believe as Americans and everything we know about the transformative power of education," Nixon said.
Robert Shireman, who founded the Institute for College Access and Success and engineered the Obama administration's overhaul of student loan programs and increased regulation of for-profit colleges, has found a new home from which to work on higher education issues. The Century Foundation, which has focused its work on higher education on issues related to college access for low-income students, announced Friday that Shireman will become a senior fellow there as Century expands its education and labor policy teams.
Shireman has had a hand in most of the major higher education policy issues of the last decade, through work in Congress (as an aide to the late Senator Paul Simon of Illinois), the White House (as a member of President Clinton's National Economic Council), in the foundation and think tank world (at the Aspen Institute and at TICAS and its Project on Student Debt), and then as deputy under secretary of education in President Obama's first term. More recently, he has worked on college access, funding and community college issues at California Competes, a nonprofit group.
The availability of subsidized federal student loans play a role in increasing tuition, particularly at less-selective private nonprofit colleges with relatively affluent student bodies and for-profit colleges, a study by researchers for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York finds. The study adds to a body of studies -- frequently challenged by higher education leaders and some economists -- suggesting that federal financial aid contributes to tuition increases by easing constraints on students and families.
The foundation's first higher education policy proposal aims to simplify the financial aid process for students while satisfying college and state concerns about getting rid of too much information.
For today's enrollment manager, it's nearly impossible to go a week without someone forwarding an article about another college trying a new way to describe the difference between its listed sticker price, the actual cost of attendance and the institution's discount rate. The current funding model for higher education is broken and we can only blame ourselves for creating a norm of bargain basement pricing for those families in the know, opaque business models and unexplained annual increases based more on competitors' current price tag rather than our actual campus needs. We continue to play a game of chicken as we wait for a so-called peer to do what we need to do.
On my own campus, we've been discussing this issue for several years and have yet to figure out what, if any, changes we should make, but we do know that honesty is a safe bet.
Gimmicks like so-called tuition resets and freezes, as well as "inflation +" models, are our industry's desperate attempts to respond to critics and to try to appease the price police, when perhaps we should be discussing why we cost so much instead. These efforts are often undertaken in response to the chorus of calls for affordability, but they seldom illustrate for whom the experience will be more affordable.
Neither these efforts nor simply sticking with the status quo are acceptable over the long term -- families deserve additional information before they pay tuition or incur debt to cover campus costs. But any change has a substantial impact and cannot create spiraling financial scenarios for our campuses, either.
There are significant risks involved in changing how we discuss pricing, cost and value. Private colleges, as tuition-dependent institutions, are hesitant to try something new, especially if all of our peers stick with the currently murky language and approaches to cost and price.
As an industry, we need to work at getting it right for our students, which includes lowering actual costs for students and maintaining sufficient revenue to deliver on our mission. Meanwhile, we are muddling through how we describe our costs, often with too many apologies, and witnessing the shuttering of campuses across the country that didn't find the right programmatic offerings, words or approaches to make themselves institutions of choice for students.
As best I can tell, there are no clear or easy solutions, but there are a few key elements we need to stress in future rhetoric and approaches:
A clear rationale for a new model. Families would benefit from an honest conversation with college leaders about why unfunded tuition discounting cannot continue at the current rate and why discounting has a negative impact on a college's short- and long-term finances and bond rating. Further, colleges need to clearly describe their business model to their campus constituents, students and parents of current students and delineate how the annual operation is funded. Finally, leaders need to acknowledge that percentage increases in tuition costs cannot continue in perpetuity. At some point we will price ourselves out of the market and into bankruptcy.
Genuine reductions in cost to students. In too many cases, a clear illustration of exactly what has changed and how much less a student will pay is missing entirely from the launch of a new plan. Some institutions reference averages or scenarios for the financially neediest students while ignoring the middle class. Seldom is there a clear statement that all students will pay at least $XXXX less to attend the next year. I realize this is pretty tricky -- saying that the education offered is less expensive than the previous year -- but this is exactly what's missing and why many of the efforts so far seem to miss the mark. Without a clear explanation to students and families of the financial benefits of a new model, colleges remain vulnerable to criticism that a new model really doesn't change the cost of attendance to the student (a criticism that is fair in many cases). Colleges need to clearly articulate whether or not students will benefit.
Substantive changes to the business model and how we operate as institutions. One of the reasons many newly introduced models for calculating costs and how they are applied are viewed as gimmicky is because there is no clear explanation of what (if anything) has changed. Will changes in pricing result in a reduction of departments or student services? Is the college dependent on increasing the size of the student body to make up for lost revenue? Has the college become more efficient? Will the college open a new line of business to generate more revenue? How things will change is the key unanswered question, and our public is smart enough to want to know what changes -- and theoretically reductions -- will occur before they commit.
Sufficient marketing of any new model. While I've seen some clever YouTube videos and good press releases, strong marketing of a new model seems pretty limited. Some colleges don't want to be seen "wasting money" on marketing when trying to prove to the world that they care about reducing costs to students. Additionally, many colleges view new models as highly risky, and they don't want the hangover of a marketing rollout if it doesn't work. However, the lack of a confident marketing plan results in most of these efforts being viewed as isolated, gimmicky or done with an ulterior motive, like lowering the price to attract more students because there is excess capacity to educate and house them on campus. An aggressive and comprehensive public relations and marketing campaign would have great benefit to a college if it really does want to transform the model and be a market leader.
Clear connection between price and return. Although there have been recent efforts to describe the return on investment of a college degree, historically speaking, connecting price with results and service has been inadequate at best and incredibly opaque at worst. There are so many questions to consider: What goes into a "comprehensive fee"? How does what a student pays for, and gets, differ from year to year in order to justify an increase or not? Are the services students receive as first-year students more comprehensive than as seniors? Should having a full-time faculty member as an adviser add value and cost? Colleges must do a better job connecting the price of attendance with what a student receives from year to year.
Even if a college committed to addressing these missing pieces, could it transform how we calculate cost of attendance for the student and the institution? I don't know for certain. But a college that starts out willing to change the business model, reduce the actual price (and cost) for students, clearly describe what a student gets for what he or she pays, and aggressively market a new cost/price model -- that college would get attention. And that would be one of those articles forwarded to me that I would be interested to read.
W. Kent Barnds is executive vice president and vice president of enrollment, communication and planning at Augustana College, in Rock Island, Ill.
Martin O'Malley, the former Maryland governor who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, is today releasing a proposal to create debt-free college options in public higher education. O'Malley's plan would take five years to carry out, but immediately he would create new loan refinancing options and limit monthly repayments based on income. Longer term, he would reduce the need for borrowing by calling on states to freeze public tuition rates, while creating new state-federal spending programs to add funds to public college budgets. O'Malley's plan calls for bringing four-year public tuition levels down to 10 percent of median income in a state (5 percent for community colleges). He says that the rates are more than 20 percent of median income in 10 states. Other parts of the plan would increase the value of Pell Grants and support efforts to speed up time to completion.
There are no details in the plan about how it would be financed, but aides told The Washington Post it could be paid by eliminating corporate tax loopholes and increases in the capital gains tax.

(IPI/IFEX) - The International Press Institute (IPI) condemned the arrest of NewsDay reporter Obey Manayiti on criminal insult charges brought by an ousted ruling party (ZANU-PF) official.
On Monday, Feb. 18, Manyiti was taken into police custody after having appeared at a police station to demand personal security.
The Zimbabwean reported that Manyiti had approached police because he was facing death threats from ousted provincial youth chairman Tawanda Mukodza. But Manyiti was taken into custody when he reached the police station, because Mukdoza had filed a complaint of criminal insult prior to Manyiti's arrival.
Reports say that Mukdoza had been sacked from his position as youth chairman for the Manicaland regions over allegations of corruption, nepotism, provoking divisions within the ruling party and insubordination.
That the police gave more significance to the insult charges than the alleged death threat is a troubling indicator for press freedom.
The Criminal Law Act, which provided the legal basis for the charges against Manyiti, has often been used to threaten and harass media practitioners in Zimbabwe, which remains one of the most tightly restricted areas in terms of press freedom in the entire southern African Region.

I remember Ms. Woodruff so very fondly. Her wonderful dance classes are among my happiest childhood memories. At the time of my lessons, I was a student at Woodside Elementary School (graduated from 8th grade in 1967), and some of my schoolmates were in attendance, as well. We had such fun! Thank you Ms. Woodruff, and my condolences to your family.

I am still coughing and have not had the mental wherewithal to do much of anything with my night. Have two music videos. Both come from Sxip Shirey's A Bottle of Whiskey and a Handful of Bees (2017): handful_ofdust linked Rhiannon Giddens' "Woman of Constant Sorrow" and I found Xavier's "Cinnamon Stick" on my own. Some of the visuals of the latter almost remind me of Derek Jarman. The former is just really great.
I was also impressed by this article on the metrics of the shitgibbon, by which I mean that I read it to derspatchel and made it all the way to the last word of the next-to-last paragraph before cracking up. The same blog offers a more serious and useful perspective on microaggressions.
The other night in the shower I was revisiting the fantasy casting of film noir Blade Runner and realized that the last time I asked myself the question, I just hadn't seen the actor I really wanted for Roy: a very young Kirk Douglas. He is stupidly beautiful in The Strange Love of Martha Ivers (1946) and rewatching Spartacus (1960) last year reminded me of his physical intensity and then I think pairing him with Veronica Lake as Pris would be fun, because she would look exactly, disarmingly like a china doll next to him. He could do the charm and the danger (and the running around shirtless in the rain) and I wouldn't even mind the absence of accent. So that's nice to have cleared up.1
1. The other actor I keep coming back to is Philip Ahn, who was also ridiculously beautiful, with a speaking voice to match. The stills and production photos I've seen from Daughter of Shanghai (1937) tempt me to pair him again with Anna May Wong, and since at this point I believe I have departed entirely from plausible Hollywood casting in the era of the Production Code, then the only thing I can't decide is whether I should cast Canada Lee as Deckard or swap him with Ahn for Roy. I could see it either way. I'd love to get Theresa Harris into this fancast, but she'd have to be Rachael and then the slightly blank quality that made me think of Kim Hunter would disappear. Still want Joan Bennett as Zhora, though.

Climate Change to Cost Millennials Trillions in Lifetime Losses
Citing research originally conducted at California's Stanford University and University of California, Berkeley, a U.S. environmental advocacy group says today's 21-year-olds stand to lose a lifetime average of US$126,000 in wages and $187,000 in savings to the economic effects of climate change.
"As an entire generation, U.S. millennials—all 175.4 million of them—could lose nearly $8.8 trillion in lifetime income without climate action," Mashable reports, citing information released by NextGen Climate. For Americans between the ages of 18 and 34 in 2015, "global warming may very well be the biggest threat over the lifetime of a single generation," said Tom Steyer, the group's billionaire founder, in a call to reporters announcing the figures.
"This is the first time that losses have been applied at the individual level and to generations that will bear the brunt of our actions or inactions," said Heather McGee, described by Mashable as "a self-identified millennial and president of Demos, a left-leaning research and advocacy group," who also spoke on the call.
"The millennial generation and our children are the ones who will face both the crisis and potentially the opportunity to be part of transforming our economy and our society," she added.
NextGen is a non-profit environmental advocacy organization funded by a U.S. super-PAC (political action committee) of the same name that gave $74 million to Democratic Senate and gubernatorial candidates in 2014 races, according to Mashable.

Let's get one thing clear straight away. If you are the dad of a promising young footballer, then you are a nobody! The clubs will not speak to you. Your son doesn't care what you think. If you tell him he had a great game, but the coach has told them they were disappointed at how they dealt with a particular one on one situation, who do you think they will listen to?
I do know that I am not the only dad who has been through this. There are approximately seventeen thousand young footballers at the ninety-two professional clubs in England and Wales from the under 18 sides, right down to under 9's. That's seventeen thousand young footballers who all have parents living the dream or experiencing the nightmare.
I could have been a decent player if I hadn't discovered fags, booze, and women at the age of thirteen. I could have played pro if it wasn't for that, oh, and of course, my lack of ability. My undistinguished career took me all the way from the now unfortunately named Bushey Queens side in Watford, to the unfortunately then rubbish side of Alderbury in the third division of the Salisbury and District Sunday league (Fourth division after my one season at the club!).
Despite my own chequered career, I have always been a football fanatic. I am a mad keen Watford supporter. Yes, all right, I know, what's that got to do with football? No, I haven't had a relationship with Elton John!
So, when my middle son, Joe, started showing immense promise as an uncompromising centre half for Salisbury City juniors, I was very excited. I could see that he was head and shoulders above the other players in his team and his league. I was sure that it was only a matter of time before he was scouted by a professional club. Sure enough, halfway through the under 14's season, I got a call from Martin Allen at League one Swindon Town asking me to take Joe along for a trial. I was ecstatic. I was so excited. Oh, yes, so was Joe. Me, living my life again through my son? Never!
Joe played in one trial game and was asked to complete a six week trial as a result. Two days later he was playing for the Swindon Town under 14 side against Portsmouth. He should have been playing against Spire Juniors in the Burbage league. I don't know about Joe, but it was a dream come true for me.
He did well in that game, and continued to do so over the next six weeks. He was signed on until the end of the following season. I was in full time employment, and lived over an hour away from Swindon's training ground. I had to have Joe at the ground for training at 5.30 on a Monday, and 5.00 on a Thursday. The games were on a Sunday morning, and could be as far away as Swansea, a two and a half hour drive. What this meant, of course, was that I needed and got the support of my management at work. It meant spending a fortune on petrol. It meant spending anything up to twenty hours a week away with Joe's football. I needed and got the support of my long suffering wife, and my other children. Most importantly, it meant spending up to ten hours every week in the car alone with my son. Not many Dads get to spend that sort of time with one of their children. It meant being prepared to do all that without a word of thanks from anyone.
The rest of that season went well for Joe, and he established himself in the side. I made some good friendships with some of the other dads. We were always very careful not to criticise each others children. You can criticise your own, but God help anyone else who dares to!
There was a big disappointment for Joe, and me, at the end of that season. A squad was selected for the summer Milk Cup tournament in Northern Ireland. Although Joe was young enough to go again the following year, I had high hopes that he would be selected. He wasn't. He was devastated. So was I.
The following season was full of highs. Joe played well in almost every game. He scored some goals, and defended beautifully. I regarded him as one of the best players in the Swindon under 15 team. After every game, I would ask Joe what his coach had said. 'Not much,' would come the unhelpful reply. It became very evident that I was a taxi driver, motivator, encourager and supporter. Nothing else. My opinion was never asked for, nor appreciated.
Shortly before the Milk Cup tournament that summer, Joe sustained a serious head injury that necessitated a scary and long night in hospital. He went to the Milk Cup, despite not being fully fit, and I'm sure he wouldn't mind me saying so, he had an absolute stinker! In the first game, after only a couple of minutes, he scored an own goal by chipping his keeper from fully forty yards. It was spectacular. To be honest, his performances went down hill from there!
The next season, at under 16 level, was crucial. This was the year that would decide whether he would be given a two year scholarship. The season started badly, with Joe struggling to get into the side due to his poor Milk Cup performances. He showed great ability, and great strength of character, to force his way back into the side. Did I play a part in keeping up his morale, and rebuilding his confidence? I would like to think so. I didn't see anyone at the club doing it. He played wonderfully well until February when decision time loomed. He had played a few games in the under 18's, and although keeping our feet on the ground, I thought they would offer Joe something, and I'm sure he did too.
Decision day arrived and we were invited into the office to meet with the Youth team manager, Ian Woan and the director of the academy, Iffy Onoura. 'This is the hardest decision we have had to make' was the first thing that was said. I wonder if they said that to all the players they released. 'I'm afraid we're not going to offer you anything Joe'.
I didn't hear much of what they said after that. I vaguely remember something about Joe being a great lad, and a good player, but that they had taken a centre half from the previous year and couldn't afford to take another. I was absolutely destroyed. Poor me. All that work and time for no result. Why does everything bad happen to me? Oh yeh, Joe was pretty disappointed too.
Seriously, Joe was inconsolable. His dream had been shattered. He felt that his life had been destroyed. On the journey home he was crying. I stopped the car to give him a hug and try to reassure him. I'm not sure who required the hug more.
On his release from Swindon, I had to encourage Joe to get another club as soon as possible. He went to Salisbury City and Eastleigh. At that time, Eastleigh, a Southern League side, were much more accommodating, and they were eager to sign Joe. He was put into the reserve team set up rather than the youth team, and the young reserve team manager, Danny, did an absolutely wonderful job in rebuilding Joe's self esteem and confidence. He played brilliantly for them until the end of the season. Danny told him he wasn't a centre half, he was a footballer. They played him at centre half, full back, and even in midfield. He loved it. For the last game of the season, he was even included on the bench for the first team. He wasn't even sixteen yet.
At the end of that season, Joe was invited to a trial with League two Bristol Rovers. He did well in the trial game, and was invited to join Filton College and Bristol Rovers for two years. This meant that Joe would have to live in digs in Bristol, but he was keen to do so. His mother hated the thought, but was totally supportive. Joe moved to Bristol.
At first, things went well for him. He was playing regularly for Rovers' under 18's and doing pretty well. He was clearly not happy in his digs, but the success of his football was making it bearable for him.
Everything was OK until the first round of the FA Youth cup. Bristol Rovers against Bristol City at the memorial ground. A big crowd including Joe's mother, me and his younger brother. Joe was playing right back. A pulsating game finished 5-3 to City. I thought Joe had played well and I was so very proud. He had been up against a very quick and skillful left sided player who has since gone on to play age group football for England. This player had 'roasted' Joe a couple of times, but overall, I thought he had done very well.
The following day, Joe found out that his coach did not agree with my assessment. He tore a strip out of Joe for his performance and left him out of the team. This setback was too much for Joe who was by now terribly homesick. The extreme pain I felt seeing my son so unhappy had to be balanced against his (my?) desire to be a professional footballer. It was a very difficult time.
Joe became unhappier by the day, and being a confidence player, his performances for the second team were never going to get him back into the first team reckoning. It became a downward spiral very quickly, until we agreed for him to leave Bristol and come home.
Having returned home, Joe played the rest of the season with Salisbury City youth team. He didn't enjoy it. I hated the fact that he didn't seem to be enjoying playing football any more, and will always believe I left him in Bristol for too long.
That summer Joe told his mother that he was seriously considering packing in football altogether. Neither of them told me that because they both knew how much that would upset me.
The following pre-season went well, and Joe rediscovered his enjoyment of the game. He had a great season as captain of Salisbury City youth team. He won player of the season and was asked to stay on as a senior. He has agreed a part-time deal with the club who have recently turned professional and now play in the Conference. At the age of eighteen he is now the captain of the Salisbury City reserve team, and has achieved his (my?) initial ambition of being paid to play football.
This, of course, is only the very start of an enormously long journey. I still have every confidence that Joe has the ability to go all the way. I will be there to support him whatever happens. If he needs a lift, a shoulder to cry on, some encouragement, or even an opinion, I will be right there to deliver what he wants.
It has been an emotional rollercoaster ride so far, and there is no doubt more to come. It has taken a great deal of my time, and energy. Even now Joe tells me nothing about his training, his future, or what his coaches think. If I want to know anything I have to ask. Even then, I'm likely to get a one word answer, or something he thinks I want to hear rather than the truth.
My youngest son is 13, and he is also showing great potential. If he is scouted by a bigger club I will have mixed feelings. I know what the process is likely to entail.
Will I do it all again if that happens? You bet I will!

Remodelers sending out customer satisfaction surveys always ask, "Are you likely to recommend us?" But clients can be fickle. Geoff Graham, president of GuildQuality, which does customer satisfaction surveys for the construction industry, discovered that unhappy clients often turn around and some happy clients, over time, are less satisfied. —Stacey Freed, senior editor, REMODELING.
Unhappy Customers
This customer feedback was shared with the remodelers who could tackle any issues that may have arisen. "About one-third of the time, it looks like [remodelers] can't change [a client's] attitude," Graham says. But 63% of the time they were able to partially or fully address their customers' concerns. "Using a survey helps in a big way."
Generally Happy Customers
This graph shows the same trend as with unhappy customers. But, says Graham, remodelers often accept a moderately happy survey response as a sign that everything is OK. "Yet 19% [of clients] are at risk of being unhappy over the course of the year, and that's the impression they'll share with everyone they know."
Happiest Customers
Why do customers become unhappy? Maybe there was confusion over service and warranty issues, or the punchlist wasn't fully resolved, Graham says. And there are always people who just won't be satisfied. Don't give up: "Just like a sports coach, you need to invest the time in your 'A' and 'B' players so they continue to be there."

Quoting RecordSeason: So now the hurricane sends you private messages and last message from Igor said, "yeah, ima wait, i don't feel like shutting my eye right now, i'll let you know when I plan on doing so." |
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:18 PM GMT on September 12, 2010
Tropical disturbance (92L) over the Central Caribbean, a few hundred miles south of the Dominican Republic, remains a threat to develop into a tropical depression. Satellite loops this morning show 92L may be starting to form a surface circulation, and an Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft will investigate 92L this afternoon to see if a tropical depression is forming.
The storm has only a modest area of heavy thunderstorm with limited low-level spiral banding and upper-level outflow, thanks to an infusion of dry air last night that disrupted the storm. Long range radar out of Puerto Rico shows that heavy rains are affecting that island, but there is no rotation to the radar echoes evident. Wind shear over 92L is low, 5 - 10 knots. The waters beneath are hot, 29.5°C, and these warm waters extend to great depth. Water vapor satellite loops show a large area of dry air lies to the north and west of 92L, and this dry air could interfere with development at times over the next few days.
Figure 1. Morning satellite image of 92L.
Track forecast for 92L
The disturbance is moving west to west-northwest at 15 mph, and steering currents favor a continuation of this motion for the next three days. Model support for development is scattered. The GFS and NOGAPS models do not develop 92L. The GFDL and ECMWF models predict development, with a track taking 92L into Belize or Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula on Wednesday. On this track, the southern Dominican Republic can expect heavy rains of 3 - 6 inches today through Monday morning; southern Haiti can expect similar rains tonight through Monday night, and Jamaica and the Cayman Islands can expect heavier rains of 4 - 8 inches Monday and Tuesday. Eastern Cuba can expect rains in the 2 - 4 inch range. Once 92L crosses the Yucatan, the ridge of high pressure steering it is expected to remain in place, forcing 92L to a second landfall in Mexico south of the Texas border.
Intensity forecast for 92L
NHC is putting the odds of 92L developing into a tropical depression by Tuesday at 50%; I'd put them higher, at 70%. However, time is running out for 92L to become a hurricane before hitting the Yucatan Peninsula on Wednesday. Given the current disorganized state of 92L, it would be difficult for it to intensify quickly enough to become a hurricane by then. The storm may also suffer another of its mysterious evening collapses, where it loses most of its heavy thunderstorm activity. However, the SHIPS model predicts wind shear will remain low, 5 - 10 knots, through the period, and water temperatures are certainly warm enough to support development. The main detriment to intensification is likely to be dry air, and 92L could wrap in some of the dry air to its northwest at times, slowing down development. There are a number of research flights being made into 92L this afternoon that should help long-term efforts to make better predictions in the future on whether or not disturbances like this will develop or not.
Figure 2. Morning satellite image of Igor.
Hurricane Igor appears destined to become a large and powerful major hurricane over the Central Atlantic in the days to come. Wind shear is low, 5 - 10 knots, and is expected to drop below 5 knots for the next five days. Waters are warm, 28°C, and will warm to 29°C by Wednesday. Igor has moistened its environment enough to keep the dry air of the Saharan Air Layer (SAL) at bay. Igor is undergoing a period of rapid intensification today, and will probably be a Category 3 or 4 hurricane by Monday.
The track forecast for Igor remains unchanged. Igor will move west under the influence of a strong ridge of high pressure for the next 2 - 3 days, then turn more to the west-northwest then northwest in response to the steering influence of a broad trough of low pressure moving across the Western Atlantic on Tuesday and Wednesday. This should allow Igor to pass several hundred miles to the northeast of the Lesser Antilles. In the longer range, Igor may be a threat to Bermuda, and does have a small chance of making landfall on the U.S. East Coast or Canada. Climatology shows that about 15% of all tropical cyclones that have existed at Igor's current position have gone on to hit the U.S. East Coast; these odds are about 10% for Bermuda and 10% for Canada. The forecast steering pattern for the period 5 - 12 days from now from the ECMWF and GFS models shows a continuation of the pattern we've seen all hurricane season, with regular strong troughs of low pressure moving off the U.S. East Coast. This pattern favors Igor eventually recurving out to sea without affecting any land areas. Recent runs of the ECMWF model indicate that these troughs may not be as intense as previously thought, so it is possible Igor has a higher chance than usual to hit land than climatology suggests. One wild card may be the possible development of TD 12 behind Igor. If TD 12 develops into a hurricane, and moves close to Igor, as some of the models are suggesting, the two hurricanes could rotate around a common center, forcing Igor more towards the coast of the U.S. The long term fate of Igor is difficult to predict at this point.
Tropical Depression Twelve forms
Tropical Depression Twelve formed between the Cape Verdes Islands and coast of Africa this morning, and is already affecting the Cape Verdes with winds near tropical storm strength; sustained winds of 35 mph were recorded in the northwest Cape Verdes this morning. You can follow the progress of TD 12 through the Cape Verdes today using our wundermap.
Next post
I'll have a new post Monday morning, and perhaps late this afternoon if events warrant.

Wow, just don't see the trough influencing steering at this time, maybe the second trough, but I am now seeing what StormW was talking about. |

Quoting KATRINABILOXIGIRL: Absolutely. I hope this pattern hold out. I hope that no one is affected by Igor, or any other storms for the remaining season. |
folks...quit whining on whether this is this or that. get a little bit more scientific, and little less whiney. I get tired and weary of the stupid rif raf over nothing. let's analyze this hurricane...do our job. check it out....learn stuff. put your pride in the bucket. none of your are experts...save a few.... from flhurricane.com "An annular hurricane is a tropical cyclone in the Atlantic or Eastern Pacific Oceans that features a large, symmetric eye surrounded by a thick ring of intense convection. This type of storm is not prone to the fluctuations in intensity associated with eyewall replacement cycles, unlike typical intense tropical cyclones. Annular hurricanes also tend to persist, even when encountering environmental conditions which easily dissipate most other hurricanes. Forecasters have difficulty predicting the behavior of annular hurricanes; they are a recently recognized phenomenon, and as such, little is known about their tendencies. Because of this, they can be more dangerous than typical hurricanes." |

If I hafta see one more pic of Julia...i swear i'm gonna puke here..... :0 |
Quoting GeoffreyWPB: The models seem to be getting confused with how the ridge and trough will affect Igor..which makes the forecast after 48 hours highly uncertain. Also the models didn't forecast or see this huge period of rapid intensification occuring, however im out of here, been a long day need to get some sleep. I really do hope that dive southward is ONLY a wobble. I'll be on tomorrow, Goodnight all. |

Quoting hurricanehunter27:Is Igor winking? |
Quoting MiamiHurricanes09: An EWRC is also another possibility for why the convection is warming. |
Sorry about the pre comment got a little excited by looking at sat pic! |
Quoting traumaboyy: Ah! The Calm, In-Control Captain.... Freaking -out within. I know the feeling... |
Good night. Should be interesting to see what happens tomorrow. |
Warming cloud tops, shall see if this is temp. |
Guys, I know that I had a temporary mind lapse. I know what a Cat 5 is. I know that 130 kts = Cat 4. I forgot. |
Igor and friends |
Quoting GainesvilleGator:Cruise ships have stabilizers and will also divert if necessary to avoid any potential rough stuff. The Redskins score!!!. Sorry...Back...you can also follow the ship at sea through their website. |
Quoting Goldenblack:Nah, dry air is distanced from the core. Just a convective fluctuation I guess. |
Quoting MiamiHurricanes09: I am aware. My source hasn't been updated, I guess. We're close, though. |
Quoting Hurricanes101:Whats a few knots between blogs?...Besides he will be at 5 shortly? right? |
We are witnessing the most powerful hurricane of the 2010 season right now and it might make it into the top ten strongest hurricanes if it keeps this up. After a day or two Igor will start to expand and beacome a good bit larger than it is now. Man, the IR sat is shows the best looken eye iv seen sence Rita in 05. I wish the 11pm advisory was 10 pm so we can see how strong it is right now! I put Igor at 90% chance at being at cat 5 satus by 11pm the only thing that could happen to stop this is EWR. Winds right now i am guessing are in the 165-175 range. |
IGOR's track is very similar to Hurricane LUIS at this point |
Quoting Hurricanes101: A Cat 5 is 156mph and over. 150 is a high end Cat 4. Still impressive none the less. |
A little dry air perhaps MH09?Quoting MiamiHurricanes09: |
2851. nyhurricaneboy 9:48 PM EDT on September 12, 2010 That isn't category 5 intensity...that isn't the actual estimate either. It's at T6.8...which indicates winds of 155mph. 2010SEP13 011500 6.8 928.6/ +2.0 /134.8 |
Water Vapor |
Quoting RecordSeason: Dont blame you. 3 fishermen were killed here last year from lightening (2 seperate incidents). Best to get out of the boat and paddle till it goes over, I think... |
Quoting Hurricanes101: Oh shoot! You're right. Sorry guys. Memory fail. No need to get nasty. |
Quoting Goldenblack: I guess I'm thinking high doom time. It won't be until 11 PM, I guess. Although, I have a feeling that anything named "Igor" should be considered a likely candidate for high doom. |
Quoting OracleDeAtlantis: Next advisory is in an hour. |
Quoting nyhurricaneboy: would be nice if people did not post incorrect information, 130 knots is not a CAT 5 |
Pottery, You are correct. And for those of you who think that we might be alarmist, we are not alarming, just observing what influences might be causing Igor to wobble a little south of path at this point. Quoting pottery: |
I think that is IGOR on the right. |
I was only referring to the 6 models that the Wunderground posts. |

My brother left on Saturday for a cruise to Puerto Rico. I don't know when the ship is supposed to doc. Igor will be close enough to PR to bring some big waves though. I am thinking in the 10-15 ft range so you might end up with a lot of sea-sick passengers. |
It looks like Igor is taking another jog to the wsw. Link |

Animesh Gupta (name changed) and his mother have been running from pillar to post in the past month and a half to find a way for the guy to study science, which his school does not offer.
Gupta, who attends Spring Days Model School, Ashok Vihar, belongs to the EWS (economically weaker section) category and is good in his studies. He is waiting for his final class 10 results. Considering his track record, Gupta is expected to be a high scorer who will still not be able to take up and pursue a subject stream of his choice in Class 11 and 12.
"My son wants to study science. He is a good student who will easily be able to cope with the demands of the stream but we don't understand how to go about it," says Gupta's mother.
For students like Gupta, being a high scorer does not guarantee a chance to able to study what subjects they want, as a large number of schools in the city do not offer science as a stream. For Gupta, the struggle is twice as hard. He is an EWS student who has been facing problems trying to shift to a school that offers science. No school is ready to give him admission under EWS category.
"We have been running from pillar to post. My son has written admission tests. But our inability to pay the required fee coupled with the fact that his present school not offering science means that he may have to settle for either commerce or humanities," Gupta's mother says.

brands worked with:
I have literally watched Girls Tween Fashion go from a thought, to a hobby blog and now to one of the top ranked blogs for tween and teen fashion in the world. In 2015 we experienced explosive growth with half a million visitors.
I'm still glowing at the response, but I'm not surprised. The tween and teen influence in pop culture and social media has skyrocketed and brands are definitely listening and utilizing the superstars of now to elevate their brand for the future. We are seeing ladies like Selena Gomez team up with Coach and Lily Depp as the face of Chanel. It's true, the Tween and Teens will be the new 'it girls'.
We began thinking about expansion and editorial in 2016 and now in 2017 we are launching our first magazine to round out the content at Girls Tween Fashion and propel the brand into a new digital space where blogging meets traditional editorial style. We will also be adding new contributors and guest writers.

If you offer last-chance agreements instead of immediately firing employees, you can impose seemingly draconian measures without worrying about a lawsuit. If you later terminate an employee for violating agreement terms, most courts will take your side.
Recent case: Robert Tack worked as a pipefitter and was frequently cited for safety violations. Instead of firing him outright, the company offered him a last-chance agreement.
Tack signed the agreement, which said he could be fired for even minor rule violations. Then a supervisor observed him working without safety glasses and fired him.
Tack sued, alleging sex discrimination. The court tossed out the case, reasoning that breaking the last-chance agreement was a legitimate reason for termination. (Tack v. PCC Airfoils, No. 2008-CA-00015, Court of Appeals of Ohio, 2008)
