Detail oriented Mortgage Advisor with 20+ years of experience and an Economics Degree. Enjoys surfing, skiing, and spending time with his daughter and two Labrador Retrievers. NMLS # 284800
Born and raised in the Midwest, Kevin graduated from the University of Colorado, Boulder in 1993 with a degree in Economics. After graduation, he immediately jumped into the mortgage industry, specializing in purchase-money loans and refinances including FHA, VA, and Conventional financing.
In 1995 Kevin relocated to North County San Diego where he has continued to have a successful career focused on residential lending. Kevin feels that his best assets are his attention to detail and his ability to listen to his clients. He is customer service oriented and works hard to provide tailored solutions that fit his client's unique needs.
While technology has changed the way buyers shop for homes, Kevin knows it's important to continue to include a personal aspect in each loan he works on and enjoys getting to know his borrowers. With more than 20+ years of lending experience, Kevin's goal is to not just be a client's lender today, but to become a buyer's lifelong mortgage resource.
When Kevin is not working, he enjoys an active life surfing, skiing, and competing in triathlons. He also enjoys running on the beach with his daughter, or throwing the ball with his two Labrador Retrievers.
I've been helping people obtain home financing for a very long time. At first, it was all about the numbers. I used my Economics Degree to determine the best mortgage strategy for each client. Today I know that there is also a human element to the home financing process that is priceless…

As a REALTOR, I rely heavily on my team of affiliates, escrow/title/lender/inspector/stager. You are a valuable part of that team Kevin and continue perform at a high level. Thank you for taking care of my clients.
Kevin - thanks again for the timely closing. We know that it was a little tight at the end trying to sell our old house and buy the new one, especially in this market. Appreciate the effort. D.T.
Thanks for helping us with the financing of the 3-plex in Carlsbad. We are looking at some more properties and will be in touch.
Kevin has bee a pleasure to work with and we have completed 3 transactions to date with him. He is very detailed and provides excellent customer support. He returns all my correspondence within less than 24 hours. I would consider doing future business with him because of this and would recommend him to anyone.
Your team did a great job. I have already given your name to one of my co-workers. Thanks again.
Again, you delivered as promised. That is why we call you whenever we need home financing, or even just have a question about it. Thanks Kevin!
Hi Kevin, we are really happy in our new house. Can't believe we put our deposit down when it was just a plot of dirt. Now we have a brand new home.
We spoke with several lenders while shopping for our refinance, and we are very glad that we decided to use your services. Thank you for closing our transaction in a timely manner.
Even with the extra paperwork because I changed jobs during escrow (remind me not to do that again), the process was still pretty easy. Thanks again for walking me through it.
Kevin, as 1st time homebuyers, we were of course very nervous. Thank you again for explaining everything to us, from beginning to end. We will definitely refer our friends to you.
Thanks for helping us wade through the lending waters. There was a lot more to know than we expected, but you explained everything to us in a way that made it easy. Will refer you to our friends and neighbors.
Thanks a bunch, our son loves his new home.
On time as promised, thank you Kevin!
Easiest refinance ever. Thanks Kevin
Didn't know we could refinance without an appraisal until I spoke with you Kevin. Thanks for taking care of my VA refinance. Hassle free too!
Wow! Kevin, thank you again for helping us purchase our new home! You delivered as promised, on time, and with ease. We are so happy and will refer you to all of our friends and family looking to refinance or buy a home.
Other lenders told us we couldn't refinance our home because we were underwater. Thank you for taking the time to explain the FHA streamline refinance loan to us. We are very happy to save $350 per month...every month!
Great job Kevin! Thank you for helping us with our new home.
I have refinanced several homes and this was by far the easiest. Even with all of the paperwork that is required these days, it was still easier than my last one. Thanks for your professionalism and guidance throughout the process. GH
Kevin - I had been working with one of the big banks for a while and nothing was happening. I am very glad that I switched to your company, you got the job done!
Kevin, we are very glad that our Realtor recommended you. You were extra thorough at the beginning of the process which helped make the entire transaction much smoother. We have already handed out your card to a couple of friends. Wishing you continued success!
Kevin, thank you again for a very smooth transaction. I have purchased several homes over the years, and this was by far my best experience. Your knowledge and professionalism were greatly appreciated.
Great experience dealing you and your company, from beginning to end. Thanks again for a job well done.
Thank you for helping me buy my first home, and thanks again for assisting with the Mortgage Credit Certificate program. Looking forward to the tax credit.
Start to finish, on time. Communication throughout. Well done.
Kevin - thanks to you and your staff for a smooth transaction. And you attended the closing! Nice touch.
Our first home and we are so excited! Your staff was great to work with and were so happy to have you at the loan closing with us. We will definitely recommend your services to our friends and family.
Great working with your team Kevin, all very professional.
Thank you for helping us secure financing for our son's first home. He and his roommates have already begun redoing the yard to make room for their BBQ. Can't believe he is already a homeowner. Regards.
You did it! After being turned down by three other lenders, all of which said, "no problem," we were very hesitant to think that we would be approved. But you found a solution, and you did it quickly. We got our keys on Friday and have been painting all weekend. We get to spend Christmas in our new home. Cannot thank you enough!!!
Kevin, thank you for your patience and working with us for the year that it took us to get our credit up to speed. We are so incredibly happy in our home and have already started the remodel. New kitchen!!!

SavingSpecies has been moving at a considerable pace in the last year. The most important news is that we are now officially a 501c3 registered charity! This means we can now receive donations directly. We couldn't have done what we have accomplished to date without the Environmental Media Association. They have handled all SavingSpecies donations and paper work over the last few years, as well as being a major donor. They have just been wonderful.
Our updated Donate web page reflects our new status.
We can now accept donations with checks (see Donate page for the address) or via Paypal. Paypal charges, of course. I want to keep our promise that all the money donated goes to land purchases and so I personally commit to paying the Paypal charges imposes on us for receiving donations. We also offer the option of having our donors give something directly to our operating costs, all of which I have covered up to date.
All this has happened because of the energy of the management board. We'll be including their bios in the Meet Our People page, to be updated shortly.
We've had wonderful news about our project in Brazil, which we'll share with you shortly. And I'm thrilled with our Colombia project. You can stay in touch with us through our (very unspammy) newsletter and, of course, Facebook and Twitter. And if you have a professional interest in saving species, please join our Biodiversity Professionals group on LinkedIn, now more than 3,000 strong! We're going places and I welcome you aboard for the ride!

Enjoy the Services of the Wellness Center
What better way to spend the afternoon at the Deluxe Fitness Hotel than by enjoying a hot stone massage or having your body covered in the finest clay available? The wellness services available at the hotel will dazzle anyone, both through their diversity and the quality at which things are executed. Everyone is invited to learn more about them by reading the following paragraphs.
Relaxation of the customers who arrive at the hotel is ensured right from the beginning, especially for those who are coming for the wellness services. A specialized division of the welcoming staff is dispatched and they will ensure that from the moment the customers enter in the hotel's building, they reach the preferred wellness activity, they will be in good hands, with no stress or other additional paperwork that might make them feel at unease.
This has been at the core of the hotel's wellness center's policy and the fact that so many customers return with a happy and satisfied attitude is the proof that the polite and kind attitude emphasized by the staff is always working for the well being of the clients.
One can choose from a wide range of activities, but the most sought-after ones are the massage therapy and clay embodiment. Those who choose massage will be able to have their senses revisited by the soft touch of the massage therapists, who have extensive experience and can work in numerous ways in order to increase the circulation in the customer's muscles and even treat old injuries.
Choosing the clay masking techniques is also a great idea, especially for those who wish to purify their skin and actively release any build-up toxins. By carefully applying closely selected clay types, the therapists can attain a skin cleansing that will ensure that customers will leave with their skin soft and well treated, not to mention toxin-free.

It's easy to start developing Django apps running on Google App Engine standard environment, and because App Engine scales dynamically according to traffic, you can be confident that they will scale to serve all of your users, whether there are a few or millions of them.
This tutorial assumes you are familiar with Django web development. It walks you through deploying the official Django tutorial app, Writing your first Django App. It's a good idea to work through that tutorial before this one, especially if you are new to Django development. The app's models represent polls that contain questions, and you can interact with the models using the Django admin console.
This tutorial requires Python 3.7.
Before you begin
Check off each step as you complete it.
Create a project in the Google Cloud Platform Console.
If you haven't already created a project, create one now. Projects enable you to manage all Google Cloud Platform resources for your app, including deployment, access control, billing, and services.
- Open the GCP Console.
- In the drop-down menu at the top, select Create a project.
- Click Show advanced options. Under App Engine location, select a United States location.
- Give your project a name.
- Make a note of the project ID, which might be different from the project name. The project ID is used in commands and in configurations.
Enable billing for your project, and sign up for a free trial.
If you haven't already enabled billing for your project, enable billing now, and sign up for a free trial. Enabling billing allows the app to consume billable resources such as running instances and storing data. During your free trial period, you won't be billed for any services.
Install the Cloud SDK.
If you haven't already installed the Cloud SDK, install and initialize the Cloud SDK now. The Cloud SDK contains tools and libraries that enable you to create and manage resources on GCP.
Enable APIs for your project.
This takes you to the GCP Console and automatically enables the APIs used by this tutorial. The APIs used are: Google Cloud SQL API.
Download and run the app
After you've completed the prerequisites, you can download and deploy the Django sample app. The following sections guide you through configuring, running, and deploying the sample.
Clone the Django app
The code for the Django sample app is in the Google Cloud Platform python-docs-samples repository on GitHub.
Clone the repository to your local machine:
git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/python-docs-samples.git
Go to the directory that contains the sample code:
cd python-docs-samples/appengine/standard_python37/django
cd python-docs-samples\appengine\standard_python37\django
Alternatively, you can download the sample as a zip and extract it.
Setting up your local environment
When deployed, your app uses the Cloud SQL Proxy that is built in to the App Engine environment to communicate with your Cloud SQL instance. However, to test your app locally, you must install and use a local copy of the Cloud SQL Proxy in your development environment.
Learn more about the Cloud SQL Proxy.
To perform basic admin tasks on your Cloud SQL instance, you can use the MySQL client.
Install the Cloud SQL Proxy
Download and install the Cloud SQL Proxy. The Cloud SQL Proxy is used to connect to your Cloud SQL instance when running locally.
Linux 64-bit
- Download the proxy:
wget https://dl.google.com/cloudsql/cloud_sql_proxy.linux.amd64 -O cloud_sql_proxy
- Make the proxy executable:
chmod +x cloud_sql_proxy
Linux 32-bit
- Download the proxy:
wget https://dl.google.com/cloudsql/cloud_sql_proxy.linux.386 -O cloud_sql_proxy
- Make the proxy executable:
chmod +x cloud_sql_proxy
macOS 64-bit
- Download the proxy:
curl -o cloud_sql_proxy https://dl.google.com/cloudsql/cloud_sql_proxy.darwin.amd64
- Make the proxy executable:
chmod +x cloud_sql_proxy
macOS 32-bit
- Download the proxy:
curl -o cloud_sql_proxy https://dl.google.com/cloudsql/cloud_sql_proxy.darwin.386
- Make the proxy executable:
chmod +x cloud_sql_proxy
Windows 64-bitRight-click https://dl.google.com/cloudsql/cloud_sql_proxy_x64.exe and select "Save link as..." to download the proxy, renaming it to
Windows 32-bitRight-click https://dl.google.com/cloudsql/cloud_sql_proxy_x86.exe and select "Save link as..." to download the proxy, renaming it to
Create a Cloud SQL instance
Create a Cloud SQL for MySQL Second Generation instance.
Name the instance
polls-instanceor similar. It can take a few minutes for the instance to be ready. After the instance is ready, it should be visible in the instances list.
- Now use the Cloud SDK to run the following command where
[YOUR_INSTANCE_NAME]represents the name of your Cloud SQL instance. Make a note of the value shown for
connectionNamefor the next step.
gcloud sql instances describe [YOUR_INSTANCE_NAME]
The connectionName value is in the format
Initialize your Cloud SQL instance
- Start the Cloud SQL Proxy using the connectionName from the
previous step.
./cloud_sql_proxy -instances="[YOUR_INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME]"=tcp:3306
cloud_sql_proxy.exe -instances="[YOUR_INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME]"=tcp:3306
[YOUR_INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME]with the value of connectionName that you recorded in the previous step.
This step establishes a connection from your local computer to your Cloud SQL instance for local testing purposes. Keep the Cloud SQL Proxy running the entire time you test your app locally.
- Next you create a new Cloud SQL user and database.
Create a
new database using the GCP Console
for your Cloud SQL instance
polls-instance. For example, you can use the name
Create a
new user using the GCP Console
for your Cloud SQL instance
In a separate command-line tab, use the
MySQL client
or similar program to connect to your instance. When prompted, use the root
password you configured.
mysql --host 127.0.0.1 --user root --password
Create the required databases, users, and access permissions in your
Cloud SQL database using the commands below. Replace
[MYSQL_PASSWORD]with your desired username and password.
CREATE DATABASE polls; CREATE USER '[MYSQL_USER]' IDENTIFIED BY '[MYSQL_PASSWORD]'; GRANT ALL ON . TO '[MYSQL_USER]';
- Create a new database using the GCP Console for your Cloud SQL instance
Configure the database settings
mysite/settings.pyfor editing.
In two places, replace
[YOUR-PASSWORD]with the database username and password you created previously in the step "Create a Cloud SQL instance". This helps set up the connection to the database for both App Engine deployment and local testing.
Run the following command. Copy the outputted connectionName value for the next step.
gcloud sql instances describe [YOUR_INSTANCE_NAME]
[YOUR-CONNECTION-NAME]with connectionName from the previous step.
[YOUR-DATABASE]with the name you choose during the "Initialize your Cloud SQL instance" step.
Close and save
Run the app on your local computer
To run the Django app on your local computer, you'll need to set up a Python development environment, including Python, pip, and virtualenv. For instructions, refer to Setting Up a Python Development Environment for Google Cloud Platform.
Create an isolated Python environment, and install dependencies:
virtualenv env source env/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt
virtualenv env env\scripts\activate pip install -r requirements.txt
Run the Django migrations to set up your models:
python manage.py makemigrations python manage.py makemigrations polls python manage.py migrate
Start a local web server:
python manage.py runserver
In your web browser, enter this address:
You should see a simple webpage with the following text: "Hello, world. You're at the polls index." The sample app pages are delivered by the Django web server running on your computer. When you're ready to move forward, press Ctrl+C to stop the local web server.
Use the Django admin console
Create a superuser:
python manage.py createsuperuser
Start a local web server:
python manage.py runserver
Enter this address in your web browser. To log on to the admin site, use the username and password you created when you ran
Deploy the app to the App Engine standard environment
Gather all the static content into one folder. This command moves all of the app's static files into the folder specified by
python manage.py collectstatic
Upload the app by running the following command from within the
python-docs-samples/appengine/standard/djangodirectory of the application where the
app.yamlfile is located:
gcloud app deploy
Wait for the message that notifies you that the update has completed.
See the app run in the cloud
In your web browser, enter this address:
This time, your request is served by a web server running in the App Engine standard environment.
This command deploys the application as described in
app.yaml and sets the
newly deployed version as the default version, causing it to serve all new
If you update your app, you can deploy the updated version by entering the same command you used to deploy the app the first time. The new deployment creates a new version of your app and promotes it to the default version. The older versions of your app remain. Be aware that all of these app versions are billable resources. For information about deleting the non-default versions of your app, see Cleaning up.
When you are ready to serve your content in production, make the following configuration change:
- In
mysite/settings.py, change the
DEBUGvariable to
Understanding the code
The Django sample app was created using standard Django tooling. These commands create the project and the polls app:
django-admin startproject mysite
python manage.py startapp polls
settings.py file contains the configuration for your your SQL database.
The code in
settings.py uses the
GAE_APPLICATION environment variable to
determine whether the app is running on App Engine or running on your local
computer. When the app runs on App Engine, it connects to the MySQL host using
/cloudsql Unix socket. When the app runs on your local computer, it
connects to the MySQL host by using TCP, which requires a username and password.
if os.getenv('GAE_APPLICATION', None): # Running on production App Engine, so connect to Google Cloud SQL using # the unix socket at /cloudsql/<your-cloudsql-connection string> DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', 'HOST': '/cloudsql/[YOUR-CONNECTION-NAME]', 'USER': '[YOUR-USERNAME]', 'PASSWORD': '[YOUR-PASSWORD]', 'NAME': '[YOUR-DATABASE]', } } else: # Running locally so connect to either a local MySQL instance or connect to # Cloud SQL via the proxy.

The app.yaml
file contains configuration information for deployment to App Engine. This
app.yaml file specifies that App Engine

About The Bodyworks Practice Epsom - Surrey Healthcare Since 2008
Named 'Top Rated' Business in 2013 and 2016 By Wahanda
The Bodyworks Practice became a health practice back in 2008. Myself (Nicole Ferguson) and my husband Karl Monahan, were, and still are, 2 therapists with a sense of adventure. Karl studied in Belize and many locations in the UK and I became a nutritionist, iridologist and massage therapist in Sydney Australia and later a naturopath adding on colon hydrotherapy and herbal medicine to my skills back in London.
We believed (and still do) in honest, clean healthcare, placing the patient's health and well being at the highest priority, understanding that we are all individuals and that we all require individual treatments and education on health
At the end of 2016 our first healthy son was born. He is our life and changed our life and the way we work. So in May 2017 we made a very hard, but needed decision, to close on Nork Way.
Which brings us to now. The Bodyworks Practice is now just me. Nicole Ferguson. You can read more about me and my qualifications on my profile page.
I am still offering the same services (see therapies page) at the same high standard and would welcome you to come and have your treatments here, on Epsom Downs. We have built an annex on the side of our house to keep everything separate for both you and us.
I support SANDS a charity very dear to my heart
Cancellation Policy
I operate a strict 24 hour cancellation policy

Hey everyone! We've been busy this week getting ready to attend the Freedom Festival in Mesa, AZ. They expect between 15,000 - 20,000 people over the course of two days. Steve Wright is the public relations guy for the City of Chandler and also the event coordinator behind this HUGE event in Mesa this weekend. He has been extremely busy in preparing for this weekend, but also took the time to make sure Lanee's Legacy was in attendance AND was armed with everything we need to spread the word! He provided us with 1,000 brochures that HE designed and then passed on to Americopy to have printed for us - all free of charge! He also got us a screaming deal on some new t-shirts to sell! He has been such an amazing help to Lanee's Legacy all along. THANKS SO MUCH STEVE!! He created the powepoint presentation that is shown at the beginning of this video we made to show this weekend. We have been using this presentation to pass out to businesses, and anyone who is interested in donating and would like to learn more.
Anyway, here's what we've been working on this week to have for not only this event, but any others in the future! I think we did pretty good for amateurs! Let us know what you think!
If anyone would like a copy of our powerpoint presentation to pass on to anyone you think would be interested in donating, please don't hesistate to contact us and we will be happy to get you one.
Have a wonderful and safe 4th of July weekend!

Sea Salt & Cacao Nib Brownies (+ Brownie Sundaes with Whiskey Pepper Chocolate Magic Shell from "Food With Friends")
Summer, my friends, calls for ice cream. Of all sorts, shapes, sizes, methods of delivery. Shakes, malts, cones, sandwiches, cakes, dip cones. And the ultimate: the sundae. In my mind, the ice cream cake is a close second, but the sundae reigns supreme 'cause you get to top it with WHATEVER you want each time. Cakes bind your creativity, with having the same "cake" for 8-12 slices with the same...stuff...in/on it.
The fickle, flakey, ever-changing nature of my personality loves the sundae. The endless options. Ice cream: vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, rocky road...the toppings: crushed cookies, brownie chunks, salted peanuts, praline pecans, crunchy Maldon salt flakes, strawberries, raspberries, blackcaps....the sauces: fudgey, chocolatey, caramely...the extras: SPRINKLES. whipped cream, cherries. You know the deal. Something about how cold, creamy, sweet ice cream meeting with hot, instantly-turns-viscous, or even completely solid, caramel/chocolate sauce, and topped with crunchy, sweet, salty, fruity things just melts my heart. It takes me back to visits to Culvers (my stepdad and mom go there during the summer, and the turtle sundae is pretty hardcore). To Dairy Queen stops with my Dad as a kid (he would always stop when he would tote along my sister and I to gun shows...the greatest debate still stands: chocolate, cherry OR butterscotch dip cone?? And WHY can't they just do all THREE on one cone?!). And finally, to the simple combo of freshly picked strawberries, blackcaps, or raspberries tossed with a bit of pure cane sugar, macerated until juicy, and piled high over the top of vanilla ice cream to produce purple-pink swirls of creamy, summery goodness. My grandma would buy (...ok, ok, she still does buy) those biiiig plastic gallon tubs, with a handle, full of vanilla-infused kid bait. Often times, she would bribe us to "FEED THE CHICKENS!!" with this simple summer treat of berries and ice cream (but let me be clear, berries and ice cream was a special treat, as most days, for feeding the chickens or doing whatever chores she had for us, we would get a rock hard piece of expired generic bubble gum...HA). For birthdays, she would step it up one notch: berries, ice cream and angel food cake. Which, let me be honest, is another whole story, one that ends (at least on my part) in a cruel plot twist. Oh grandma, you trickster you...
ANYWAYS. For how much I (clearly) friggin' love these ice cream treat situations, I don't indulge enough in them. This, my friends, is changing TODAY. And come on, you need to treat yo'self, too! You are worth it. And, summer!!!This sundae is friendly. It plays nice with those who cannot eat the gluten and the dairy. If you want to go all out, you can top the sundae with your favorite whipped cream, and a cherry. I was simply too infatuated with the chocolate bourbon magic shell to do those things, but really, points for you if you do. And I suppose you could just eat the brownie as-is, without doing the sundae business, since these brownies are very, very good in their own right. They are my current go-to brownie, and have been for about 2 years now. Their only flaw is that they are a *touch* crumbly, so be sure to not over bake them. But hell, even if you do, the crumbles are still perfect for ice cream! And pro tip: if the brownies are cold or frozen, simply zap them in the microwave for a few seconds to warm and soften them up before piling on the ice cream and toppings.
Ok, and now...this magic shell business. MAGIC, you say. Well, it isn't reeeeeally magic, in fact, it is simply medium chain triglycerides (or "MCTs" for those keeping up with colloquial, semi-scientific terminology) that have similar fatty acids attached to their glycerol backbone molecule, which yields an oil with sharp melting, and solidification, temperatures. Meaning: you pour the chocolate sauce made with coconut oil over cold ice cream, and it "magically" solidifies before your eyes. It is really just basic lipid science, but we'll stick with "magic". What else is magical about this chocolate sauce? The bourbon, the black pepper, the sea salt and the cloves. Oh, and it seriously takes about 5 minutes to stir together. Count another 1 minute to scoop your favorite ice cream (I love me some Vanilla Island Luna & Larry's Coconut Bliss) into a bowl, drizzle with the magic shell, wait about 30 seconds for it to harden, and there you have yourself a mighty fine, super quick and easy summer dessert. I tell ya, Food with Friends mastermind Leela Cyd knows what she is doing on all food/entertaining fronts. I am really loving her book, and will be providing more feedback on it for my first Blogging for Books review. I just couldn't wait any longer to share the magic shell recipe...so just...go with it. Side note: a jar of this magic shell would make an amazing host/hostess gift. Look at you...all generous and kind to yourself and others. Happy summer and sundae'ing!
Brownies with cacao nibs, walnuts and sea salt // plant-based; vegan; gluten-free; soy-free; low FODMAP// makes 9 large, or 16 small, brownies //
- 1 cup almond flour
- 3/4 cup oat flour, certified gluten free if necessary
- 1/2 cup raw cacao, or natural cocoa powder (do not use dutch process/alkalized), plus extra for dusting baking pan
- 4 tsp finely ground flax seeds, or flax seed meal (could also substitute very finel ground chia seeds)*
- 1 TB arrowroot powder**
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup semi or bittersweet chocolate chips or baking chocolate
- 1/4 cup plus 2 TB melted virgin coconut oil, plus extra for baking pan
- 1/2 cup organic cane sugar
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk, using nut free if necessary,
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- add ins: 1/4 to 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks or chips, 1/4 cup cacao nibs, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- to top the brownies: large flake sea salt, such as Maldon
*I make flax meal by pulsing whole golden flax seeds in my coffee grinder until the seeds are completely pulverized and powdery.
**this is completely optional, as I have successully made these brownies without it many times. The arrowroot helps to bind the brownies together a bit more upon baking, but do not fret if you do not add it. The brownies will turn out fine as-is, just be sure to allow them to cool 100% before cutting.
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare an 8"x8" baking pan by lining with parchment OR by greasing it with coconut oil and dusting it with cocoa powder. Do not skip the parchment or oil/cocoa powder, as these brownies will stick if you do. Let me learn these mistakes for you :)
2. Into a large bowl, sift the almond flour, oat flour, cacao/cocoa powder, flax seeds, sea salt, baking soda, arrowroot powder and cinnamon. Set aside.
3. In a medium bowl that is microwave safe, or in a medium sized sauce pan, combine the 1/2 cup chocolate chips or baking chocolate and coconut oil. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil, stirring to combine. Once melted, off the heat, and add in the cane sugar and milk. Stir to combine.
4. Add the melted chocolate mixture to the dry sifted ingredients, along with the vanilla extract, extra chocolate chips or chunks, cacao nibs and walnuts. Stir to thoroughly combine. The mixture should be thick, but still a touch goopy. If the mixture is too stiff, add in a TB or two of milk until the consistency is that of proper brownie batter.
5. Scoop the batter into the prepared pan, and spread it evenly out into the pan. Pat down the top to make an even surface, and to slightly compress the batter into the ban. Top with flakey sea salt, if desired.
6. Bake the brownies for 28 to 33 minutes, or until the center of the brownies is just starting to firm up. If you here a bit of moisture still bubbling in the brownies, that is ok. These brownies are better left under baked a touch than over baked.
7. Allow the brownies to cool COMPLETELY before cutting. If you used parchment, simply lift the entire works out of the pan, and onto a surface to cut. If you greased and cocoa dusted the pan, cut with a sharp knife and use a small off-set spatula to get the brownies out. Store in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Whiskey Pepper Magic Shell from "Food with Friends" // adapted for a 1/2 batch, double measurements for the recipe as-written by Leela with my comments in parenthesis //
- 1 cup semi or bittersweet chocolate
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (I used virgin coconut oil, but used refined if you do not like the mild coconut flavor of virgin coconut oil)
- 1 TB but 1/2 tsp of your favorite bourbon or rye whiskey (I used Four Roses single barrel Kentucky straigh bourbon whiksey, as it is indeed one of my favorites!)
- 1/4 tsp large flake sea salt (or a generous pinch, I used Maldon)
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves (I used just a pinch, as I am sensitive to clove flavor)
1. In a small sauce pan, or microwave safe bowl, combine the chocolate and coconut oil. Melt, taking care to not burn the chocolate.
2. Stir in the remaining ingredients, taking care to not add them when the melted chocolate and coconut oil are too hot, as this will flash-off the booze and volatile oils in the spices. If the sauce is a bit too thick after adding the bourbon, add in a TB or two of melted coconut oil. The goal is a drizzly, thin sauce that will form a thin chocolate shell.
3. Use immedieately by drizzling as much of the sauce as you would like over ice cream, and waiting about 20 seconds for it to firm up. Or, for later use and gifting purposes, simply store in a glass jar or conainer in the fridge for up to 1 week. For future ice cream use: gently reheat the sauce to a consistency that can be drizzled or poured before enjoying.
First things first: the BROWNIES. Get yourself some cacao nibs (I shelled some from whole cocoa beans from Dandelion Chocolate)Now, organize, prep baking pan, measure, melt, snack on chocolate. Oh and preheat that oven, yo!You know what to do: mix!Into the greased and cocoa dusted pan (or parchment paper lined). Batter slightly compressed, evened on the top, and sprinkled with crunchy sea salt flakes.Baked, cooled all the way through, then cut. Some crumbs will happen, but you know what to do with those...patience is rewarded with intact brownies. Rejoice!
Ok, now you prepare yourself some MAGIC SHELL. With BOURBON. Yes!
Simply melt the chocolate and coconut oil, then sprinkle in the sea salt flakes (intact flakes are good!), freshly cracked black pepper and cloves.Have yourself a mini-party, and add the bourbon! The mixture may thicken a bit, but not to worry. Adding another TB or two of melted coconut oil will smooth things out. We want a thin, drippy consistency to drizzle over ice cream!Into a jar, and used right away. OR, covered, stored in the fridge, and gently reheated for future drizzling, magic needs.The needs are real. Get on it! Brownie + Ice Cream + Magic Shell + Sprinkles. Waiting 30 seconds hardens the magic shell! MAGIC!Add sprinkles, and you know what to do...

Convert a video to your iPod or iPhone
How to Convert a video to your iPod or iPhone
A feature of the iPod Touch and the iPhone for Apple was able to view a video in a resolution of 480 by 320 pixels. The transfer is done easily via iTunes and the reading is a simple child. But it is a step that requires more knowledge than all others combined: the conversion of the video. And also grabbing of your favourite YouTube videos to PC.
Indeed, the player and the Apple phone will not accept any video. They can read files encoded in MPEG4 and MPEG4 H.264 in a maximum resolution 640 x 480 pixels at 30 frames per second and with a maximum bitrate of 1.5 Mb / s for the MPEG4 H.264 and 2 , 5 Mb / s in the case of MPEG4. Do not adhere to these constraints will lead to iTunes refuse to integrate the movie into your device. We therefore propose to show you how to transform your videos into a format adapted to the iPod like the phone with the software Videora iPod Converter.
Step 1: Downloading and installing
1. Download Videora iPod Converter : Here
2. Start the installation of the software.
3. Check on "Run Videora iPod Converter" to launch the application.
Please note that the formats accepted by this software are many, the mkv mpg via flv. Once the software is launched, do not be frightened by the many advertisements appearing on this software and carefully follow the following.
Step 2: System and the first launch
1. Select the player that fits your model.
2. Select as a video source on your hard drive by clicking on "Video File".
3. Opt for the normal mode if you want to avoid the most complex stages.
Converting a DVD requires a few additional steps that will not be discussed here. The ability to encode videos from the Internet is restricted to users but works perfectly from sites such as Youtube (see box at the end of page). There will be limited by the conversion of a video on your hard drive.
Step 3: Definition of source and destination
1. Start by selecting the file to convert via the button "Select File."
2. Specify then the destination directory the line "Output Directory".
3. Finally Click on "Next" in the main window to move to the next step.
This procedure is the simplest proposed Videora iPod Converter. If you want to have more leeway on the various options for conversion, you can opt for the "Power mode" or pass through the tab "Settings".
Step 4: Choice of options
1. Indicate the title you want to give your video.
2. Specify then the different quality options for your movie.
3. Finally Click on "Start converting" to start the process.
The various options that you must enter a well-known influence on the video size, quality course, but also the time taken by your computer to make the conversion. By varying the different settings, you can observe their effects on blue gauges that represent these characteristics of time (Speed), quality and size.
Step 5: Conversion and transfer
1. Click on "View conversion progress" to control the process.
2. Wait time of conversion and the addition of video to your iTunes library.
3. Synchronize your iPod or iPhone to load the video.
If the time of conversion is particularly long, you can choose to let the work be done during the night and turn off the computer when done. Check this box, "Shutdown when completed." Similarly, nothing prevents you from creating multiple tasks simultaneously conversion, treatment with queue being provided in this software.
The videos on Youtube on your iPod?
One of the particularities of Videora iPod Converter is to simply copy the video Youtube to your iPod or iPhone.For that, go to the tab "Online Video" or choose this option starts. Then click on the link to Youtube and look for the video you want to copy. Once found, then use the "Download Video" above the logo Youtube then return to the tab "Convert" then "Progress" to observe the evolution of the conversion of selected video. It seems, however, that Youtube videos are now protected against this type of downloading, but the creators of Videora iPod Converter probably return the charge to circumvent this protection and continue to offer users this feature.

CHENGETAI ZVAUYA, PARLIAMENTARY EDITOR • 4 July 2014 1:48PM • 2 comments
HARARE - Jonathan Moyo, the minister of Information, Media and Broadcasting Services yesterday defended the appointment of Sunday Mail editor Edmund Kudzayi who is currently facing charges of terrorism, banditry and insurgency, among others.
He is also accused of being the faceless man behind the Baba Jukwa facebook character which became popular last year for revealing Zanu PF's "dirty secrets."
Moyo was responding to a question by Zanu PF Makonde Member of Parliament, Kindness Paradza who asked whether he had been surprised by the 28-year-old's appointment to such a high post.
"I am happy with appointments of young people to high posts and we want to see more of them going up. I don't want to talk about the Kudzayi matter as it is before the courts," said Moyo.
The minister had been summoned by the parliamentary portfolio committee on Media chaired by Zanu PF MP William Dhewa, where legislators also demanded to know who was funding the Independent Media Panel of Inquiry (Impi) and who had appointed members of the panel.
Moyo said it was necessary to set up Impi to end media polarisation which has been affecting the country for the past 15 years.
"It is a fact that we have a lot of political differences which are being reflected in the media. We hope that one of the issues that Impi will address is about polarisation.
"Some people want to link Impi to my vernacular language of war which is not correct. We want to correct all the ills in the media through Impi by gathering the views of the public. Let's try to find each other despite differences caused by politics," Moyo said.
He added that; "This is one of stages towards re–alignment of the media laws with the new constitution."
James Maridadi MDC MP for Mabvuku asked where the money to fund Impi came from and how much the panellists were earning during outreach programmes.
Moyo told the legislators it was funded by treasury to the tune of $1,6 million with each member getting $300 allowances per sitting.
He told legislators that he appointed the panel which had concluded its work.
Moyo said the panel would be travelling to South Africa, Tanzania and Kenya to learn from their experiences before producing their report.
Yesterday's meeting comes after legislators on Tuesday slammed Impi for wasting tax payers' money, saying they are embarking on a non-essential programme which does not add value to the development of the nation.
Zanu PF MP, Joseph Chinotimba raised the matter in Parliament during question time querying the logic behind Impi.
Impi was launched in April to "enquire into, assess and determine the policy, legal, technological, business, human resource and institutional adequacy and readiness in the information sector."
The panel is made up of editors from the public and private media, marketing and advertising representatives, information and communication technology experts, civil society members and other professionals.
The panel has been travelling around the country, collecting information on media issues by holding public hearings.
How do you criticise something you dont fully understand? Surely I think we have stooges for legislators only good at missing planes while shopping. I dont particularly like Jona but I praise him for the IMPI, initiative. Industry and Mining ministers - take a leaf.
I like his defense of young appointments, and hope it is the beginning of a new phase in ZANU PF! Please let's give the young generation a chance! The current leadership does not even understand Facebook, twitter, or dot.com, let alone word perfect! Instead, they understand hate, opposition as enemy, treason, corrupt practices, getting rich quick through massive unexplainable acquisitions!

Kirklees Citizens Advice and Law Centre wants you to understand your rights and to avoid pension scams.
Recent changes in legislation have made it easier for people to withdraw money from their pensions.
If you are 55 or over you can withdraw lump sums from your pension schemes and 25% of this is tax free.
This is good news for people as it allows you to choose what you do with your money but unfortunately an increasing number of people are being targeted by pension scammers and are losing some or all of their pension pots.
We advise anyone over the age of 50 to take advantage of one of our free Pension Wise interviews.
Pension Wise is a free and impartial government service about your defined contribution pension options.
Our Pension Wise service covers Kirklees, Wakefield and Calderdale. We can see clients at offices in Dewsbury, Huddersfield, Wakefield and Halifax.
You can find out what you can do with your pension pot, how to shop around and what to look out for with regards to taxes and fees.
We explain how to avoid pension scams and the importance of taking your time to make sure your money lasts as long as you do.
We will talk about your pension options and what you can do next.
Appointments usually last around 45 minutes and after your appointment you will be sent a summary of your details and the next steps you need to take.
Here are some top tips on avoiding a pension scams:
l Avoid unsolicited approaches by phone call, text message, email or in person especially where the firm doesn't allow you to call them back or if their contact details are only a mobile phone number or a PO Box address.
If you want financial advice see a professional adviser who is registered by the Financial Conduct Authority (www.register.fca.org.uk)
l Never be forced into making a quick decision, be pressured into doing so, or be encouraged to transfer your pension quickly and send documents by courier.
Never believe anyone who claims that they can help you or a relative unlock a pension before the age of 55, sometimes known as 'pension liberation' or 'pension loans'.
Only in very rare case, such as very poor health, is this possible.
If you do go ahead with this you may face a tax bill of 55%.
l Don't be tempted by high rates of return on your investment or claims that it is low risk. You could lose your entire pension by investing in schemes that make this sort of promise.
Get professional advice before withdrawing money from your pension to invest, however attractive the scheme looks.
l If you think that you have been scammed contact your pension company quickly as they may be able to stop any payments.
In the first five months of 2017 over £5 million was lost by people who were tricked into parting with their pension savings.
Please be aware and make sure that you don't become one of them.

Style Lessons from Today's Small Cool Entries (Vote for Your Favs!)
Every home has something to teach and each small home in the Small Cool contest holds lessons and tricks for living well while living small. Below is some wisdom from today's crop of entries including using customizing your furniture to fit your space, disguising your bed, and mounting furniture to the wall to free up your footprint.
Fit the Bill
Choose furniture that truly fits your space. And if you can't find something that works — make it yourself. Laura built both her coffee and end tables herself, customizing the look and size to her needs.
Fridge Front
It's easy to let your fridge front get junked up with magnets and papers which can be handy to have accessible, but can make a tiny kitchen feel terribly cluttered. Lindsay's neat-as-a-pin spice containers, however, make use of the fridge front without making the room appear messy. Their grid pattern actually projects a feeling of neatness and order.
Pillow Talk
Lindsay's small studio can't accommodate a sofa so she wisely created a daybed effect by choosing a bed without a headboard and lining the wall with pillows. It allows the bed to pinch hit as a sofa and makes the living room feel less like a bedroom.
Off the Wall
Andrew purposely chose to not hang very much on his walls. He says this strategy helps "keep the apartment feeling airy and light."
On the Wall
Bryer and Vanessa have the opposite strategy as Andrew and have filled this wall with art and objects. Painting the wall blue helps minimize the amount of visual heft as the display items become pulled together by the blue backdrop.
No Leg to Stand On
There's lots to love about this small entry nook in Miwa's home: the pattern and texture of the wall and carpet and how she smartly mounted the cabinet to the wall, freeing up the footprint below.
Window of Opportunity
If I had the amazing arched windows Kristy has I'd play them up as much as possible, too. She placed two large mirrors directly across from her windows to reflect light and give everyone as many opportunities as possible to admire the windows' beauty.
Wee Workspaces
We're big believers that you can squeeze a workspace into almost any unused corner of a home. Alexa's done just that with this simple office nook in the bedroom. The rug lends a sense of separation but the space is otherwise simple and uncluttered.

Re: Found & Lost Ephemie Lemelle & Charles Maran
In Response To: Re: Found & Lost Ephemie Lemelle & Charles Maran ()
My grandfather was Dewitt Lamell of Alexandria, Louisiana. He was the brother of Mary Lamell Abraham. I'm curious as to how he's connected to Ephemie Lemelle.
According to my family history my mother, Dorothy Lamell and my uncle, Ulysses Lamelle (this is how he spells his name), were his first children. However, my mother has always known of some of her siblings and some of them are actually the same age.
I would like a better idea of how all of the names in this thread are connected.
The children of Dewitt Lamell that I know are: Two daughters named, Dorothy, Ulyesses of Miami,FL., Robert (RT) of Marksville, LA., Bobby of Marksville, LA. and Mamie of Alexandria, LA.
I would love to know more of my family and anyone can help it would be appreciated.

In the above-mentioned article the author says:
"If evolution is true, we are improved animals instead of fallen sinners in
need of redemption."
I just can't imagine why anyone would feel this way - it saddens me
greatly. Its as if our salvation and saving grace depends on our own
interpretation of the laws of nature, because in the end, we ALL are
interpreting whether we think we're taking it "literally" or not. It is
precisely statements like this that turn scientists away from Christianity
unecessarily. Because it is out and out false. Our salvation depends on no
more and no less than Jesus Christ dying on the cross for our sins, and his
bodily Resurrection. Everything else is there to help us know how to relate
to otehrs, how to lead more joy-filled lives, and how to turn others to
Christ in order to glorify God.
Also, I'm curious if anyone knows Dr Hugh Ross? He sounds like an
interesting fellow and one I'd love to have come speak at our church.
Another argument in the article by Borton Davidheiser is that the various
early church leaders, Irenius, etc who Hugh Ross claims believed in long 24
hr days of Creation did not really believe in them (does that make
sense?!). But as "proof" all Borton does is quote a couple passages from
each of them, but the quoted passages do not say anything that actually
contradicts that the particular person believed in non-24 hr days. Its
almost as if he's manipulating the "data" to fit his conclusions. In fact,
that is precisely what he is doing, unless Dr Hugh Ross is wrong and the
various church leaders did not believe as he says. Anyone know the
positions of "the Jewish historian
Josephus (1st century); Irenaeus, bishop of Lyons, apologist and martyr
(2nd century); Origen, who rebutted heathen attacks on Christian doctrine
(3rd century); Basil (4th century); Augustine (5th century); and, later,

Lessons from IBM Eagle TCO Analyses
Posted by dancingdinosaur in bottomlineIT on March 21, 2013
A company running an obsolete z890 mainframe with what amounted to 0.88 processors (332 MIPS) planned a migration to a distributed system consisted of 36 distributed UNIX servers. The production workload consisted of applications, database, testing, development, security, and more. Five years later, the company was running the same in the 36-server, multi-core (41x more cores than the z890) distributed environment except that its 4-year TCO went from $4.9 million to $17.9 million based on an IBM Eagle study. The lesson, the Eagle team notes: cores drive platform costs in distributed systems.
Then there is the case of a 3500 MIPS mainframe shop that budgeted $10 million for a 1-year migration to a distributed environment. Eighteen months into the project, now six months behind schedule, the company had spent $25 million and only managed to offload 350 MIPS. In addition, it had to increase staff to cover the over-run, implement steps to replace mainframe automation, had to acquire additional distributed capacity over the initial prediction (to support only 10% of total MIPS offloaded), and had to extend the period of running the old and the new systems in parallel at even more cost due to the schedule overrun. Not surprisingly, the executive sponsor is gone.
If the goal of a migration to the distributed environment is cost savings, the IBM Eagle team has concluded after 3 years of doing such analyses, most migrations are a failure. Read the Eagle FAQ here.
The Eagle TCO team was formed in 2007 and since then reports completing over 300 user studies. Often its studies are used to determine the best platform among IBM's various choices for a given set of workloads, usually as part of a Fit for Purpose. In other cases, the Eagle analysis is aimed at enabling a System z shop to avoid a migration to a distributed platform. The Eagle team, in fact, is platform agnostic until it completes its quantitative analysis, when the resulting numbers generally make the decisions clear.
Along the way, the Eagle team has learned a few lessons. For example: re-hosting projects tend to be larger than anticipated. The typical one-year projection will likely turn into a two- or three-year project.
The Eagle team also offers the following tips, which can help existing shops that aren't necessarily looking to migrate but just want to minimize costs:
- Update hardware and software; new systems generally are more cost-efficient. For example one bank upgraded from z/OS 1.6 to 1.8 and reduced each LPAR's MIPS by 5% (monthly software cost savings paid for the upgrade almost immediately)
- Schedule workloads to take advantage of sub-capacity software pricing for platforms that offer it, which may produce free workloads
- Consolidate workloads on Linux, which invariably saves money, especially when consolidating many Linux virtual servers on a mainframe IFL. (A recent debate raged on LinkedIn focused on how many virtual instances can run on an IFL with some suggesting a max of 20. The official IBM figure: you can consolidate up to 60 distributed cores or more on a single System z core; a single System z core = an IFL.)
- Changing the database can impact capacity requirements and therefore costs, resulting in lower hardware and software costs
- Consider the IBM mainframe Solution Edition program, which is the best mainframe deal going, enabling you to acquire a new mainframe for workloads you've never run on a mainframe for a deeply discounted package price including hardware, software, middleware, and 3 years of maintenance.
BottomlineIT generally is skeptical of TCO analyses from vendors. To be useful the analysis needs to include full context, technical details (components, release levels, and prices), and specific quantified benchmark results. In addition, there are soft costs that must be considered. Eagle analyses generally do that.
In the end, the lowest acquisition cost or even the lowest TCO isn't necessarily the best platform choice for a given situation or workload. Determining the right platform requires both quantifiable analysis and judgment.

Over 900 young people to begin their apprenticeship with ThyssenKrupp
Over 900 young people will begin their apprenticeship with ThyssenKrupp on August 1 or September 1, 2014. It takes the total number of apprenticeship places in the Group in Germany to around 3,400, slightly higher than in 2013. "We are delighted that so many young people have chosen ThyssenKrupp as their apprenticeship provider. Well-trained skilled workers are the basis for innovation and progress," said Oliver Burkhard, CHRO of ThyssenKrupp AG. The dual system of vocational education and training is a key success factor for the industrial group. From office clerk to chemical laboratory worker to materials tester to machinist, ThyssenKrupp offers well over 50 different apprenticeship occupations in Germany.
The apprenticeship training rate has been steady at 5.6 percent for many years. Of the young people who finished their apprenticeships in 2013, 73% were retained. Most of ThyssenKrupp's apprenticeship places continue to be in North Rhine-Westphalia, where over 60 percent of the Group's apprentices complete their 3-year programs with various subsidiaries. In this way the Group is also meeting its responsibility for the region, said Burkhard.

Even before Article 50 has been triggered and the United Kingdom formally begins the process of leaving the European Union, the first effects of Brexit have well and truly worked their way across Ireland, writes RTÉ business journalist Aengus Cox.
The biggest issues right now for Irish companies exporting to the UK are, in the first instance, the sharp fall in sterling since the Brexit vote (the pound has fallen about 15% against the euro since last June) and uncertainty over Ireland's future trading relationship with the British market.
Firms here that export to the UK are paid in sterling and when they convert those earnings back to euro, they are now receiving roughly 15% less in euro terms than they were last summer.
This has had a major impact across sectors here, with margins been hit hard.
Fresh food producers have been worst affected, with margins previously already tight in this area.
The Brexit effect – Six mushroom farms close in six months
In the mushroom industry at least six farms closed in as many months following the Brexit vote.
Producers here would receive around £1.50 for 1kg worth of mushrooms. Before Brexit this would have worked out at €2, but now the same amount of mushrooms is only yielding c. €1.70 when the sterling-euro conversion is made.
The challenges facing producers was again highlighted only a few weeks ago when one of the biggest players in the market here, Walsh Mushrooms, swooped in to rescue one its main suppliers that was struggling, Golden Mushrooms in Tipperary.
Britain as a gateway to mainland Europe is threatened
However, for shellfish exporter Connemara Seafoods the main concern is not the drop in sterling, rather how a hard Brexit might affect its ability to transport its produce to mainland Europe.
More than 90% of the shellfish harvested at its Clew Bay base near Westport in Co Mayo is transported through Britain to markets in countries such as the Netherlands and France.
Connemara's managing director Andy Mulloy foresees significant issues around delays if new borders and tariffs are introduced.
Exporting chocolate to Britain is bitter sweet
The Meath-based Celtic Chocolates exports the majority of the chocolate it manufactures to grocery retailers in Britain.
Monitoring currency shifts has become a daily practice, and here is no exception.
The specialist chocolate maker's MD Joe Callery says he monitors any small fluctuation between the euro-sterling rate closely.
"First thing in the morning when I wake up I check the currency."
He also has an arrangement with his bank to hedge currency prices going forward if he feels the need, while he sources and pays for raw materials in sterling where possible to mitigate the effects of the euro-sterling volatility.
Despite the uncertainty over Ireland's future trading relationship with the UK, Celtic Chocolates has also committed to a growth strategy, which it believes will help to insulate it from the fallout from Brexit.
'We see the UK very much as a home market'
Meanwhile, near the border in Co Monaghan, forklift manufacturer Combilift is taking a similar stance with regard to growth.
The company exports virtually all of what it makes, with the UK accounting for 25% of its business.
Even with the shroud of Brexit, Combilift managing director Martin McVicar believes Irish businesses are best placed to trade with Britain and should take advantage of Ireland's close proximity to the UK.
The firm has backed up its confident talk by investing €50m in a new manufacturing facility, which will see Combilift double its output over the next five years.
Although it is still very early days when it comes to meeting the challenge of Brexit for Irish firms, it is encouraging to see how many sectors have are well prepared on issues such as managing currency volatility and amending growth strategies to reduce dependency on the UK market.
Support agencies too, such as Bord Bia and Enterprise Ireland, are playing their part in ensuring firms are as robust as possible when facing these issues.
Having spoken with a lot of companies, in a lot of different industries, all over the country, it is clear they value the supports on offer - and see them as being of genuine use as opposed to token efforts.
The hope is that should leave Irish companies well placed to navigate the choppy economic waters once Article 50 is triggered.
