What is free software? Does free software help you in the idea of your business? This page will help to understand the basics of free software and how to benefit from it.
The term of free software has been introduced an characterised by the Free Software Foundation. It describes software which is licensed to the user. This software licence declares to the users to receive it, to study the code, to manipulate it and to redistribute it under the same software licence. The free software licence does not imply that there would be no cost to obtain the product as it is assumed from time to time.
There are four thesis in the free software licence describing the rights to the user:
Software released under a licence which determines all the stated rights is free software in the sense of the Free Software Foundation/FSF.
Based on this philosophy free software will contribute to an improved society.
To understand this it may be helpful to imagine why there are people writing free software and providing it to the users. Richard Stallman writes about his motivation in the essay Copyleft: Pragmatic Idealism. He is one of the most influential persons in the world of free software. Basically he wrote that he works on free software for idealism to achieve a world in peace and improve the cooperation of people. This would only be possible with free software but not with proprietary.
Cooperating people are beginning to talk to each other, to know each other and to learn to understand the goals, wishes and needs of people having been strangers. Beyond technical discussions acquaintances and friendships will evolve.
Free software will be published in the internet in most cases. The are no limitations and relevant distances to the internet therefore it is very easy to bridge differences in culture, education and differences in years in using that medium. No one can argue that seen from these aspects, there will be contributions to improve society.
Many software developers from all over the world are motivated to work on free software based on the essential rights they where given by the licence. The large number of software developers, the specific development process and the well organized structure of collaborative activities in large software projects, e.g. the KDE project, result in software programs which are of superior quality than commercial programs. Likewise this is given for development cycles and vitality of innovation.
Effect: Free software gives best quality
Usually there are many software developers working collaborative at a project. Every one does have his or her own background and view to the principles of programming. The process of repetitious reviews and the collaboration will give the best and optimal result. A very strange idea would be discussed and criticized with great emphasis.
As a result the free software product will be compatible with the standard definitions, in terms of data structures, protocols and technologies. Standards are agreements on the state of technology and principles in practice issued by committees. Standards should be free of particular interest. Well documented they provide safeness to the user and a system change can be done with more ease.
Effect: Independence given by standard compatibility
The source code is available to the user upon request or at time of delivery. The source code can be compiled by the users on his/her own machine. The users can study the source code, verify it and search for errors. The user may change the source code for his or her requirements or patch it in case of an error. No one pretends that this can be done without adequate knowledge, at last somebody with the appropriate skills may be found and do the changes.
At first glance there is the advantage of commercial software that nobody has to take care of such things as named above. All the time the commercial enterprise is in the market and the customers of the product follows the changes in versions and updates and is willing to pay the price for maintenance agreements during the software life cycle this may adequate. A forthcoming client should consider that there may be any of the following cases.
These kind of problems usually do not appear with free software. Programmers join and they quit the group of developers in a free software project. Projects are developed continuously and bug tracking of critical errors is provided as an essential service. Project may be closed in cases that there is an analogue successor based on newer concepts and/or techniques.
Effect: Safeness by independence from the manufacturer
The main advantage of free software is safeness. The safeness composes of integrated levels:
Effect: Safeness in possessing the source code
Frequently it is said that the main benefit of free software is that there are no cost at all. This is some kind of misunderstanding. Free software is characterised by the four topics discussed above and the fact that it is royalty free. In normal situations it is not necessary to buy another software licence when enlarging the staff.
A current release of a complete, sophisticated and professional Linux distribution may be received from a server at no cost. However there will be some expense for literature, adapting the system and professional support running highly available computer systems in a business. Those costs are not a contradiction to goal of free software.
Effect: Reduction of costs
There is a variety of products driven by creative collaboration of people in the world of free software.
This may be boon and bane. The diversification may end in vast numbers of products. The main distributors choose the most perfect applications to be included into the distribution, Preconfigured and ready for use.
Effect: Choice of products through a variety of solutions
Who uses free software? A lot of people right now and still growing. Universities, trading groups, banking groups, tourism enterprises or insurance organistions running large scale IT-server infrastructure trust on free software. Free software is not mainstream yet. Realising the advantages of free software helps making the descision for a change towards "alternative" software products, taking into account that the most valuable commodity of an enterprise are data. Only a few middle-sized or small-sized enterprises can afford to employ an IT-professional. It is a great leap to alternate to free software showing a responsible posture and entrepreneurial courage.
Effect: Improving the image of the enterprise
People are volunteering on interesting software projects. The users of the software, their opinions, their cooperation and their satisfaction are success and motivation for the developers. Good productive collaboration between developers and users are the pleasing milieu to find the solution. Throughout the world communication is done by eMail, forum threads or IRC.
Free software: It's fun
The above parts of text may have given you the impression that there would be no more problems and every thing would be at it's best in using free software.
Regretfully this is not correct.
There are difficulties in using software so there are with free software also. Starting up is hard work to do. Kraft is embedded in the KDE project applications. The KDE project applications are running on UNIX-like operating systems. Linux is the most popular of free operating systems. Linux distinguishes from the competitive products of the windows class.
The Goal of the KDE project has been and will be to provided a modern user interface system to work with the computer without having to know a lot of technical details. The basic idea is to integrate office work flow and the necessary procedures to get the best from a computer. There are a lot of differences between Linux and Windows, and some solutions may be comparable.
Linux is not Windows. Linux not even tries to be. The article "Linux ist nicht Windows (in german)" may be of interest for further reading.
The openSUSE Projekt is one in a group of distributors of the operating Linux. In that project much work has been done to build of well defined installation and administration system. In the past there have been some problems with proprietary hardware drivers, most commonly available for an other operating system only.
A Linux system installed from the scratch on non-exotic hardware will give you a desktop computer system including a great number of programs and tools for productive use in office.

text: Why do we forget our dishonest actions? Sclafani June 7, 2016 We behave a lot more badly than we remember Francesca Gino, Harvard Business School and Maryam Kouchaki, Northwestern University We come across dishonest acts in our day-to-day lives. Perhaps we commit them as well. But, guess what? Most of us care so much about being moral that we tend to forget our unethical behavior.

Ask the Gerontologist – 8/17
Q: How do we know when more care is needed?
One of the questions we get most often is how to determine if more help is needed in the house. Honestly, most of the families who have asked it are responding to a gut feeling – something in their solar plexus or heart or wherever these feelings generate tells them something is wrong or needs their attention. Bottom line: trust your gut.
Ask the Gerontologist – 7/17
Q: How do I even start a conversation about long-term care?
First, realize you are not alone. According to the US Census Bureau, there are more than 4 million Americans living in assisted living, congregate senior housing or nursing homes. That means millions of families have been in your shoes, including us at Stonebrook Village.
"Life of Service"
Frederick "Bud" Cooney, a resident of Stonebrook Village, was recognized with the Connecticut Veterans Wartime Service Medal. One of the libraries at Stonebrook Village was dedicated to him in his honor.

Hi Chaps
I'm getting geared up for the run to the Ace Café this year. My mate at St Neots can't put me up this year, so I'm stopping at a pub near Stilton on the way down. It's Super Saturday for the six nations rugby on the 19th so I'm getting down there to watch all 3 matches and have a few pints. A run to the Ace café on the Sunday and back to the pub for the Sunday Night. Gentle ride home on the Monday. What a completely wonderful weekend (She doesn't know what she's missing)
So, a bit nearer the time, we'll arrange a meet on the A1 for the trip down if that's OK, that's if anyone else is going.

Last night, conservatives in the Senate blocked the proposed $14 billion loan to General Motors and Chrysler. As Ali Frick notes over at ThinkProgress, conservatives blamed the bill's failure on the United Auto Workers (UAW) refusal to accept steep concessions — introduced in a pay-cut amendment by Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) — that would have effectively neutered the union.
But various media outlets have reported that blocking the bill also had a wider purpose: sticking it to labor unions in advance of the anticipated debate over the Employee Free Choice Act. Often referred to as "card check," the Free Choice Act would level the playing field for workers looking to form a union.
As the LA Times reported today, conservatives circulated "an action alert" calling for lawmakers to "stand firm and take their first shot against organized labor":
In doing so, analysts said, Republicans were planting the seeds for a fundraising appeal to big business — other than the Big Three, of course — as they gear up for a major political fight next year over expected legislation that would make it easier for unions to organize.
The BBC noted this line from the conservative talking points:
This is the Democrats' first opportunity to pay off organised labour after the election. This is a precursor to card-check and other items.
If the rescue loan was a "pay off" to the unions, it was a pretty lousy one, considering the UAW made serious concessions — including delaying Big Three payments into a retiree health care fund — as a prerequisite to the rescue bill proceeding.
Furthermore, conservatives denied the automakers their loan — potentially causing further harm to an already dismal economy — for the sake of preemptively sending a message on legislation that can help the economy. As David Madland and Harley Shaiken point out, competitiveness is "linked to productivity, quality, and innovation — all of which can be enhanced with higher wages" derived from unionization.
Yesterday, President-elect Barack Obama said that he wants to "strengthen the union movement in this country and put an end to the kinds of barriers and roadblocks that are in the way of workers legitimately coming together in order to form a union and bargain collectively." It would appear that conservatives are already gearing up for the fight, even if that means sacrificing America's auto industry and all the jobs that go along with it.

If you do business in China, staying current with its regulations and business environment is paramount. For your reference, here's a reading list of commentary and analysis by lawyers and law firms on JD Supra on recent events.
China Clarifies and Expands Reporting Obligations of Foreign Enterprises on Indirect Equity Transfers (Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP)
"The Announcement clarified the tax reporting obligations of non-resident enterprises to make payments related to interest, leasing fees, guarantee expenses, property rentals, equity investments and transfers originating from China. More importantly, the Announcement contains interpretations of Guo Shui Han [2009] No. 698 relating to Regulations on Enhancement of Income Tax of Non-resident Enterprises ("Circular 698") which requires, among other things, all foreign enterprises to report their gains from any indirect transfers of Chinese-resident enterprises to the applicable Chinese tax authorities."

The FCPA in BRIC Countries: 2011 Enforcement Trends in Emerging Markets (McDermott Will & Emery)
"In the coming decade, developing BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) economies will continue to expand while becoming further intertwined in the global economy. Attractive as potential investment opportunities in BRIC may be, U.S. and multinational companies need to remain vigilant to the potential corruption risks of doing business in these emerging markets. It is apparent that BRIC-based entities will become increasingly subject to U.S. FCPA enforcement in coming years, while emerging market governments are increasingly willing to piggyback off U.S. enforcement actions, and cross-border cooperation will increase in enforcing anti-bribery laws."

China's NDRC Adopts New Measures to Further Regulate Equity Investment Enterprises in Pilot Regions (Morgan Lewis)
"On January 31, 2011, China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) issued a "Notice on Further Regulating the Development and Record-Filing Administration of Equity Investment Enterprises in Pilot Regions" (the Notice). The Notice provides a more specific operating and compliance guidance for equity investment enterprises (EIEs) established in four pilot regions (specified below). Generally speaking, a private equity (PE) firm, whether domestic or foreign-invested, is an EIE as defined in the Notice." Read more »

U.S. Department of Commerce Proposes Drastic Policy Change in Handling Antidumping Administrative Reviews of Non-Market Economy Countries, Including China (Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP)
"A June 10, 2011, Federal Register Notice proposes to change how Commerce instructs U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate antidumping entries after concluding an administrative review. Under Commerce's existing practice, it instructs CBP to liquidate entries that were not reviewed or examined in the administrative review at the cash deposit rate at the time of entry. With this policy change, Commerce will begin instructing CBP to liquidate these non-reviewed entries at "country-wide" rates rather than at the cash deposit rate." Read more »
China's Growing Constellation in the Global IP Sky (Finnegan)
"The dizzying growth in patent filings in China shows little signs of slowing down. According to SIPO Commissioner Tian Lipu, 'By the end of the 12th Five Year Plan (2011-2015), invention applications received by SIPO every year are expected to double over the current number. More companies will have their own patents and [intellectual property rights].'" Read more »
China Issues New Guidelines on Data Privacy Protection (Morrison & Foerster LLP)
"The PRC General Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection, and Quarantine ("GAQSIQ") and the Commission for the Administration of Standardization (the "Commission") have circulated a draft Information Security Technology Guidelines for Personal Information Protection (the "Guidelines"). The Guidelines, if issued, would represent another in a series of recent efforts by Chinese authorities to address their citizens' personal data protection concerns in the absence of a comprehensive regulation on this issue."

China Beefs Up Its Anti-Bribery Law With Its Very Own Version Of The FCPA (Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLC)
"On February 25, 2011, the [People's Republic of China] legislature passed 49 amendments to the PRC Criminal Law. One such amendment – Amendment No. 8 of the PRC Criminal Law – criminalizes the payment of bribes to non-PRC government officials and to international public organizations (the "Amendment"). While the Amendment is brand new and no interpretive guidance has been issued, it appears to be the PRC's version of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA")." Read more »

How nice it is to be able to hand Aberdeenshire Council a bouquet rather than a brickbat for a recent initiative which every law abiding citizen should applaud.
It's not every day, after all, that a local council has the bottle to stand up to errant drivers, especially when it involves parents who are dropping off and collecting offspring from their place of education, but that is exactly what the Park Smart scheme is designed to achieve.
The fact that the the initiative is backed by Police Scotland should pretty well ensure that the 16 pilot schemes in the shire will be a success. We should all hope so, not I should add that I have anything against young parents, just the ones who are an embarrassment to other road users.
Something had to be done about the irresponsible ones who feel it is their right to abandon vehicles across other people's driveways, or on double yellows, or even worse on the zig zags at schools.
But it is not just the illegal parking which draws attention to the issue, but the belligerent responses you evoke if you dare to challenge their actions.
Road rage is not nice at the best of times, but when it is conducted in front of young children, it becomes quite distressing, especially if it we have any aspirations about presenting good role models for our youngsters.
Interestingly grandparents seem, at least as far as I can see, to be less guilty of breaching the law, though I accept there will be exceptions.
But don't get me wrong as not for a minute am I suggesting every parent or guardian should have to walk their charges to school, but that they should stay within the law, thus setting good examples to their young who are watching and learning all the time, and sadly benefiting little from observing adults behaving badly.
At the end of the day, the protection of our youngsters has to be the major consideration. As it stands, what is happening around our school gates borders on the dangerous, and while there has not been a fatal accident of late, it is surely only right and proper that we should take steps to ensure that safety is the order of the day.
Take a bow Aberdeenshire, you are to be applauded for your courageous attitude, taking on motorists is never easy. Good luck with Park Smart, it deserves to succeed.
Finally as someone who makes a living about writing about the noble game of rugby, I was desperately sad to have written, along with others, about the demise of the national team. With the World Cup in the autumn, I fear more pain to come, even humiliation, and no sign of where the improvement is to come from.

While I was pedaling on May 5 through the streets of Santa Monica (the only possible way to travel during the Cinco de Mayo gridlock), I recalled that a few years ago the City Council decided to tone down the 4th of July celebrations. If memory serves, the reasons given were: massive crowds, congestion, violence, cost, litter and air pollution caused by the thousands of idling cars not going anywhere. In their enigmatic wisdom, they decided to have the fireworksdisplay before dawn, hoping no one would show up. I have never really understood why, if theydidn't want folks to come, they just didn't cancel it outright, but I guess that's why I'm not awise man in the city government.
Now comes the Mexican Independence Day celebration. Traffic was backed up for miles on the freeways and the streets were tangled with cars. We had crowds, pollution, gangs, litter and basically everything the city government anathematized American Independence Day for. I suggest we dispense with this obvious double standard and do one of three things: (a) Don't celebrate either holiday; (b) Celebrate both during the hours when most Homo sapiens are awake and simply grit our teeth to the consequences; (c) Observe both holidays at 4 a.m.

News Release
Justice and Office of the Attorney General
Family justice service delivery model expanding in September16 August 2018
MONCTON (GNB) – A new service delivery model will expand to Moncton next month to provide families with an alternative, streamlined court process.
The expansion of the Family Case Management Model to Moncton was announced in March, but no date was specified at that time. The government's funding of $650,000 is for resources including family case management masters, a triage co-ordinator, family law information centre personnel, and lawyers to provide legal advice.
The goal of the model is to decrease court delays, encourage alternate dispute resolution processes and improve access to legal information, as well as legal assistance. A team of specialized court staff and case management specialists will triage cases and direct them to early resolution.
The model has four main components:
Family law information centre: This office will be open to the public five days per week. It will provide information and forms related to family law and will be staffed by the triage co-ordinator and support staff. The triage co-ordinator will help self-represented litigants understand the processes involved in resolving family law issues. Lawyers will also be available to provide preliminary legal advice.
Triage co-ordinator: In addition to providing assistance in the centre, the co-ordinator will meet with parties to help them identify which issues need to be resolved and identify paths for resolution. They will also track the progress of each case.
Advice lawyers: Two part-time advice lawyers will provide preliminary advice to self-represented litigants. These lawyers will not accompany litigants to case conferences, settlement conferences or court hearings, but will provide assistance at the entry point of the process.
Case management master: This person will conduct case conferences with the parties, outside the formal court setting, to help them resolve their issues. The master will draft consent orders for parties who have reached an agreement and will be authorized to make procedural orders and temporary orders for support, custody and access.
This service delivery model is meant to reduce wait times for first appearances in family court. The first appearance can address many of the key issues, such as interim custody, access, possession of the home and support. Establishing these interim measures at such an early point helps limit the disruption to families.
A pilot program was previously launched in Saint John. The pilot was evaluated and enhanced to help ensure family needs are met effectively and is now being expanded to the Moncton region.
In Saint John, this model reduced wait times for first appearances from months to weeks or days. The model helped reduce the overall amount of time spent in court before a judge by limiting the scope of final matters for resolution in court. Every month, the family law information centre in Saint John responds to between 600 and 700 requests for assistance.
Families in the Moncton judicial district will be able to access this service beginning Sept. 17 by visiting the family law information centre in the Moncton courthouse or by calling 506-856-3131.

Miss Rose De Lago stamped herself as a filly to watch with a strong win in the Listed Burgess Queen Stakes (1400m) at Ascot on November 2 and led all the way to score an impressive victory in the Group 3 Western Australian Champion Fillies Stakes (1600m) last Saturday.
Trainer Jim Miller told Racing Ahead that the daughter of Encosta De Lago had recovered from the tough run in excellent condition and is a good chance to back-up against the colts in the Western Australian Guineas this weekend.
"I have done a little bit with her and Thursday I will do a fair bit with her," Miller said.
"She is so tough and she bounces through everything, so she will do a little bit of work Thursday and I will make a decision on whether to run her or not on Friday."
Miller said that Miss Rose De Lago had shown plenty of talent since she entered his stable but even he has been surprised by the improvement that the three-year-old has shown since making her racing debut at Belmont on September 11.
Miss Rose De Lago was a short-priced favourite heading into the Western Australian Champion Fillies Stakes and set an extremely quick tempo at the start of the race but was able to hang on to score a clear victory from Via Laurentina and Balmont Girl.
"She is an absolute ripper," Miller said.
"As soon as we started educating her we knew that she was well above average and to do what she has done in her first racing campaign is just great.
"To win a Group 3 five runs in was remarkable and she will be a filly of all class next prep.
"She has a really laidback nature and I was surprised how fierce she was when she went out there and ran along.
"I was a bit soft on her leading into that and I probably underestimated her rate of recovery and her ability to work.
"When she was really fierce she set it up for the backmarkers but she still gave a kick and fought them off."
Miller has two of the leading fancies in the 2013 Western Australian Guineas but rates Miss Rose De Lago his best winning chance after the undefeated Saint Bro drew at the very outside of the seventeen horse field.
"Before the barrier draw came out I had the favourite in the colts division Saint Bro," Miller said.
"He is two starts for two wins but I think that she is a lot stronger than him.
"He is a really good horse but he has drawn barrier sixteen and he will need a lot of luck from out there."
Miss Rose De Lago ($4.20) is currently a narrow favourite in Western Australian Guineas betting markets from Gai Waterhouse-trained Vitello ($5) and Saint Bro ($7).

Customer Relationships are extremely important to us. Our significant growth has largely been the result of referrals from one customer to another. We're proud of our strong relationships with outstanding companies.
Feed and Grain – Food – Chemical – Ethanol – Brewing – Pulp and Paper – Mining and Power Production
Meat Processing / Rendering – Sugar – Wastewater Treatment – Dairy – Other Industries
Feed and Grain
Screw conveyors are used in many areas including truck or rail car dump systems and for elevating material to top of storage bins. Paddle screws are used to mix product streams, press screws are used for mechanical moisture removal, etc. This can sometimes be very dangerous because of the big loads, so when our employees get injured they file complains with The Medical Negligence Experts.
Stainless steel screw conveyors and mixers are sed for all types of food handling. This is an ideal application because they can be fully enclosed and manufactured to meet FDA and USDA standards.
Screw conveyors/mixers are used for handling all types of bulk, granular chemicals. They are a good fit since they enclose the materials and prevent contamination. Corrosion resistant stainless steels are often required.
Screw conveyors and screw feeders are used in dry mills for whole corn unloading, conveying ground meal, wet cake, DDGS, etc. Wet mills also use screw conveyors and mixers with germ, starch, fiber and gluten.
Screw conveyors are used for grain and hops conveying and storage. Special leveling screws can improve storage capacity and efficiency.
Pulp and Paper
Screw presses, mixers and screw conveyors are used for handling paper pulp, wood waste, sawdust, bark chips, wood chips and lime. Mass-flow hoppers and feeder screws are often required.
Mining and Power Production
Screws are used for feeding, conveying, mixing and blending salt, coal, lime and other materials. Hollow flight screws and jacketed troughs are often used to cool fly ash after coal is burned. Corrosive salts and wet coal typically require stainless steel materials.
Meat Processing / Rendering
Stainless steel screw conveyors are used for all material handling. This is an ideal application because the product is contained and equipment can be easily washed down.
Screw conveyors are used to move both wet and dry sugar products throughout the plant. Large screw presses are used to squeeze juice from sliced sugar beets.
Wastewater Treatment
Post separation from liquids, solids are often conveyed using shaftless 304SS screws which are a very good fit for sticky, gritty, wet materials. Inclined screw conveyors are also often employed to move materials to elevated areas.
We have designated areas of our plant for the productions of high quality, 3-A sanitary screw conveyors and mixers for the dairy industry. We also employ even higher QC inspection standards for this type of equipment.
Other Industries
Ice, pharmaceuticals, abrasives, contaminated soil, sand, cement, cottonseed, hay, and rice are just a few of the many other products that we have designed screw conveyors and mixers to handle.

Research Description:
Matthew studies the synthesis of photoluminescent minerals that exhibit tunable emission properties under ultraviolet radiation. By employing wet chemical sol-gel techniques, he modifies their photoluminescence by the doping of lanthanide and transition metal ions into their compositions. He seeks to explore and understand various energy transfer phenomena between the host minerals and doped ions, as well as among the dopants themselves. His latest achievement was the conversion of a tungstate-based mineral into a white light-emitting phosphor with promising solid-state lighting applications, which are expected to replace mercury-containing fluorescent lamps in the near future.

The first try called for 50% open space, a convoluted "clustered" development, and various bonuses to achieve a "one unit per acre density" which would provide for a increase in density (number of houses) of 30%. (Historically RA-1 meant each house requires one acre of land, and each lot required 200 ft of road frontage; meaning on a ten acre parcel, about seven houses could be built after the roads were put in.)
A few short months under the new ordinance brought the realization that the ordinance was virtually unworkable, somewhat equivalent to trying to place eight pounds of substance in a five pound bag. A second moratorium was called and a second plan formulated, nearly as bad as the initial change, both proposing/allowing/encouraging a large increase in the number of houses (a 41% increase in density over pre-moratorium, with 40% LESS open space than the previous ordinance). This also included the subjective bonuses amounting to a possible 70% or so with only30% needed to maximize.
Needless to say, a minor flood of pent up development demand jumped on the bandwagon, with the usual disastrous result - more houses on smaller lots with a generlaly serpentine nominal "open space" winding it way between the potential McMansions. The Planning Commission generally approved near the maximum density, Council often cut it down somewhat.
Result - further erosion of the universal desire for rural, small town environment. The increased workload on the Planning Department and subjectivity of the bonus system, brought us to the current dilemma - and solution (NOT). After the Planning Commission decided to recommend the worse of two options, the Council opted for a third option. Basically, just give the developer one unit per acre by jumping through some small hoops or coughing up a little cash.
The hoops:
- 30% "open Space
- 20% of lots with animal rights (= over one acre)
- trails, enhanced minimum landscaping (which may be required by any development)
- I think that was it folks!!! (as no written copies were available, it may be slightly different and, as always, the devile is in the details)
An option was being offered to buy out of the open space requirement for 50% of the raw land cost. For example, on ten acres parcel, the three acres of open space could be avoided by paying ca. $150,000 (half of raw land cost). Although this was presented as a open space buy out, it certainly appears to be an increased density purchase. The $150K would provide for three lots to sell for $250,000 each PLUS the profit in the building of the McMansion.
That amounts to 3 lots at $200K plus 3 houses at $50K (??) profit or roughly $750,000 - a five to one return on investment.
One more step on the road to Wasatch City. The County has added to their website a new listing of developments, with a map and their size, density and status. It's a well conceived report which should be helpful to those wanted to follow the progress of citification.
More later, maybe.

Atos says it is meeting the rising expectations of its customers as it announces record results in 2016 and the over-achievement of all its 2016 financial objectives.
Revenue was €11.717bn, up +9.7% year-on-year, +12.8% at constant exchange rates, and +1.8% organically. Revenue grew by +1.9% organically in the fourth quarter, showing "good sales momentum" and the continued revenue trend improvement. This dynamism was particularly led by the Atos Digital Transformation Factory answering the strong demand of large organisations in their digital transformation.
Operating margin was €1.104bn, representing 9.4% of revenue, compared to 8.3% in 2015 at constant scope and exchange rates. This improvement by +110 basis points was notably resulting from more cloud-based business and the execution of the Tier One efficiency program through industrialisation, global delivery from offshore locations, and continuous optimisation of SG&A. In addition, operating margin benefitted from ongoing cost synergies including the integration of Unify.
The commercial dynamism of the Group was "particularly strong in 2016" with record order entry reaching € 13.0bn, +16.2% compared to € 11.2bn statutory in 2015. It represented a book to bill ratio of 111% in 2016, of which 119% during the fourth quarter of 2016. Full backlog increased by +11.9% year-on-year to € 21.4bn at the end of 2016, representing 1.8 year of revenue. The full qualified pipeline represented 6.4 months of revenue at € 6.5bn, compared to € 6.2bn published at the end of 2015.
Net income was €620 million, +41.9% year-on-year and net income Group share reached € 567m, +39.6%. Basic EPS Group share was €5.47, +36.1% compared to € 4.01 in 2015 and diluted EPS Group share was €5.44, +36.5% compared to €3.98 during 2015.
Free cash flow reached €579m in 2016, +47.3% compared to €393m in 2015, materializing a strong improvement of operating margin conversion rate to free cash flow, reaching 52.5% in 2016 compared to 43% in 2015 and in line with the circa 65% 2019 objective. Net cash position was €481m at the end of 2016.
Thierry Breton, Atos Chairman and CEO said: "In 2016, we achieved an excellent performance by overreaching all our financial commitments. Atos delivered revenue growth across all sectors, as well as record margin improvement and free cash flow conversion. Accelerating innovation in cybersecurity, automation, and analytics, mirroring the booming demand from our customers, combined with a rigorous execution of our strategy were the key factors of this success. Our very solid financial performance materialized the alignment of our comprehensive Digital Transformation Factory with rising client needs."
"With this record performance, Atos' teams have built a unique foundation to deliver our new 3-year plan "2019 Ambition", matching new expectations of our clients, gaining new market shares, driving more profitable growth and cash generation, while continuing to enhance value creation for our shareholders."
Indeed, year after year, the plan is to embrace the global digital transformation while offering stronger visibility and resilience in a less predictable environment, he says. "We can count on the now tier-one technological profile of Atos, on its very solid balance sheet, and on the quality and dedication of our 100,000 digital technologists to strengthen our leadership in digital transformation and to deliver stronger financials in 2017, the first year of the new 3-year plan."
2017 objectives are:
Revenue growth: Circa +6% at constant exchange rates, above +2% organically.
Operating margin: Between 9.5% and 10.0% of revenue.
Free cash flow: Operating margin conversion rate to free cash flow between 55% and 58%.

I visited Rio de Janeiro on business a few years ago and had a wonderful time, walking around with a constant smile on my face at the vibrancy and colour of my surroundings.
Yesterday, I was amazed, nay, even stunned, that Frommers travel guide 'Has placed the seaside town and the surrounding area alongside top global destinations such as Rio de Janeiro in Brazil and Stockholm in Sweden. Frommer's writers and editors have classed the Kent coast among the dozen most desirable destinations in the world for 2011.'
As a Thanet councillor and Margate Charter Trustee I'm delighted and council leader Bob Bayford and South Thanet MP, Laura Sandys are both quoted in today's Daily Mail. Laura adds:
'Well we join Brazil and Chile in Frommer's top 12 international destinations. This is fantastic news for Thanet and shows that our environmental beauty, our historic tourism, our sandy beaches and the character of each of our towns shines through.'
I'm sure this accolade will attract more than a few comments but in difficult times, it gives us all optimism for the future, with under a year until the opening of the Turner Contemporary gallery in Margate.

Last night we got seven inches of snow here in the Chicago are. Since the ice/snow mix also made the power go out we had to go out and enjoy the beauty of the snow sticking to the branches. The robins were everywhere, trying to puff up and stay warm. The kids and Dad had fun building one last snowman and heading off to the sledding hill with the rest of the die-hards.
It's a lot easier to take knowing real warmth is just around the corner!

There was a time when I followed after the muse but she was a ghost. She took many forms. Once she took the form of a butterfly and brushed her wings against my hand as she flew by.
Up she flew out of sight calling me upwards and so I went.
I chased and chased and she denied me and the more I pursued the more lost I became.
Inspiration turned to desperation and bitterness and so I turned away.
My spirit broke under the weight of her thrall, from which there is no recovery. Just like a dam that breaks at the bottom and caves in on itself, that was the crush of my spirit.
The weight of her influence I will never entertain again.
My inspiration needed no ascension. My inspiration lives in the realms above.
I simply allowed her to dance with my inspiration like a leaf falling from a tree.
No dear muse...it is you that must ascend...I am the sky you dance beneath.

I'm obsessed with Geodes. They are completely unique and stunning in their own individuality and are years upon years in the making. When I was a child I of coarse had a rock collection and have always been fascinated with geology. As an adult my love for geodes has influenced the way I decorate as well as my jewelry designs. Here are a few of my favorite geode selections.
It's that time of year again… Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!!! (If you are looking for the 2015 sale – you can find it here) Let me just start off by saying, in my humble opinion, this sale never has and probably never will live up to the hype behind it because it's essentially a well executed marketing tactic to buy items that will eventually go on sale in September. With that being said,… Read More

A two-year-old girl has died after she and a woman were discovered lying unconscious in a street in Bradford.
The West Yorkshire police investigating the incident have said they are not "currently seeking anyone else in connection with it".
The two were found seriously injured in Delamere Street on Tuesday, 18 February, at about 09:15 am.
The woman, aged about 36, remains in critical condition and is receiving medical treatment.
The girl had apparently plunged from the upstairs window of a terraced house and the woman fell afterwards, local reports suggested.
Councillor Sher Khan told the Telegraph and Argus: "It's unbelievable. Apparently, the woman had recently moved from somewhere else – another city – to this area. My understanding is that nobody knew her that well."
Police said the investigation is in an early stage, while local residents expressed shock over the incident.
"Enquiries into this incident are at an early stage, but we are not looking for anyone else in connection with it. A forensic post mortem is due to take place tonight and I would ask anyone with information to call the police on 101," said Jon Morgan, Detective Chief Inspector of West Yorkshire Police Protective Services.
"Police were called by paramedics to Delamere Street, Bradford at 9.15am today, following reports that a woman and child had been found unconscious outside the back of an address on Delamere Street," he said.
"The child, a two-year-old girl, was taken to hospital with serious injuries, but was sadly pronounced dead a short time later," Morgan added.

Black Friday 2015 is set to be the biggest single online shopping day in UK history, but British shoppers are being warned to be on their guard for an increased risk of online fraud on the day.
With a predicted first ever online spend of £1.07bn in one day alone in the UK on 27th November, Black Friday is an opportunity for consumers to get major discounts in the run up to Christmas, though the increased online activity also provides opportunities for fraudsters to take advantage of those caught up in the spending frenzy of good deals.
From the overall spend prediction of more than £1bn in one day, research from Voucherbox.co.uk reveals that up to £614,259.26 could be scammed from eager Brits shopping online.
Research has demonstrated an incident rate of around 0.0574% of scams on the total £21.6bn spent over the Christmas shopping season in 2014, amounting to £12.4 million. Applying this rate to the predicted £1.07bn figure for Black Friday would see scams reach in excess of half a million pounds.
The £12.4 million conned out of Britons over the Christmas 2014 period was a 31% rise from 2013 when UK consumers were duped out of £9.5 million over the same time frame.
A specific operation used by professional scammers around holidays such as Black Friday and Boxing Day is the creation of fake retailer websites using replicated brand logos, offering 'must-have' tech items such as smartphones and video game consoles at "unbelievable" prices. Fraudsters monitor the most sought after goods and entice consumers to pay for products which will never arrive.
Other types of online fraud include the creation of fake listings on genuine sites, the implementation of fake or insecure payment systems, email and SMS scams related to fake retail offers, enticement to transfer money online for purchases and the theft of personal banking details through official retail sites specifically targeting busy shopping days.
Originating from the US, Black Friday has an increasing relevance to UK retailers and consumers, with huge temporary discounts offered at the start of the Christmas period. Data from Google UK trends saw a 300% increase in searches for the term Black Friday from 2013 and 2014.
Global digital commerce consultancy Salmon have said that 30% of Brits, almost four times as many as the 8% in 2014, are planning to shop online this Black Friday, making it the biggest Black Friday in the UK to date.
Shane Forster, UK Country Manager at Voucherbox.co.uk said, "Online security is a huge topic at the moment, and with the rise of scams that are focusing on big shopping days such as Black Friday, bargain hunters need to be switched on to deals that look too good to be true when they are shopping online. If not, they are at risk of losing money, rather than saving money."
"On Black Friday this year more online shopping than ever is expected and less experienced internet users are often targeted by fraudsters. We advise shoppers to always double check a website if they have not used it before to ensure that it is a valid site. If they are in doubt, consumers should avoid purchasing from the site at all costs."
Online security consultant Stuart Spice of Spice New Media commented: "Scammers are becoming increasingly sophisticated and are using very genuine looking websites to entice shoppers. These websites will be online for barely a day or two, leaving victims high and dry. Even certain sponsored advertising links on popular search engines should be treated with caution as fraudsters commonly use this technique to quickly get to the top of the search results list. Because these websites are so new, it's likely that anti-virus software will not be aware of them, leaving shoppers further exposed."
Online safety tips for Black Friday shopping are as follows:
• Purchase on credit cards not debit cards
• Look out for spelling mistakes or poor images which may indicate a hastily created website
• Check that the URL is legitimately from the recognized retailer's website, make sure it is www.ebay.co.uk and not www.ebay1.co.uk, for example
• Use payment verifications systems such as Verified by Visa
• Choose passwords that are secure and change them often
• Beware of clicking links in emails that could lead to a scam site
• Avoid money transfers to unknown people, instead use online secure payment systems such as PayPal
• Make sure there is a firewall installed on your computer and that it is kept up to date
• Be aware of shared Wi-Fi zones that may not be secure
• Ensure the payment page starts with HTTPS not HTTP, as this indicates a secure page
• If you have been scammed, report the crime here

1. What kind of training do you do?
We offer a full range of training services including private lessons, group classes, and behavior evaluations.We specialize in family dogs, teaching them the skills they need to live comfortably in a household environment, such as walking on a loose leash, greeting new people politely, coming when called, and much more.
We are committed to positive-reinforcement training techniques and avoid the use of any method that suppresses behavior through force or intimidation. Our trainers are committed to continuing education to provide you with the best possible behavior counseling.
2. Can you fix my dog's behavior problem?
Behavior is a complex mix of genetics, environment, and choices. Some behavior problems are easy to change; others require long-term strategies. We cannot guarantee your dog's behavior will be "fixed" any more than a personal trainer can guarantee you won't gain 10 pounds or a therapist can guarantee you will never again bite your nails.
We guarantee we'll be there for you with professional advice and support. We'll teach your dog how to handle sticky situations using proven methods of behavior modification. As you learn to be your dog's best advocate, we'll be your coach and cheerleader.
3. Are kids welcome in your classes?
Yes, kids are welcome in our regular classes, but not in Relaxing Rowdy Rovers. Kids 8 and up are often very good trainers, with a little help from their parents.
Younger kids sometimes find the classes a bit long, so they may prefer to stay at home. Children must remain beside their parents and may not interact with any dog other than their own.
Some teens want to do all of the training and don't need any help from their parents. That's fine with us. However, every minor who comes to class must be accompanied by an adult who remains in the classroom with the child.
4. I'm not sure my dog can handle a group class. Are there any special options?
No problem…we'll help you in our Relaxing Rowdy Rovers and Calming Cautious Canines classes. Or we can do private lessons.
Relaxing Rowdy Rovers. Are you unable to walk your dog down the street? Got a bouncy, barky, revved-up dog? Is it hard for your dog to settle in new environments? Does your dog lunge at passing dogs, bark when stressed, or pull constantly when you are around other dogs? Then this class is for you! Learn handling skills and desensitization procedures to make your dog more manageable around other dogs. Training will focus on understanding anxious behavior, learning how to control the environment to desensitize your pet, and modifying your dog's behavior using counterconditioning and positive reinforcement methods.
All About Dogs has been proud to offer Relaxing Rowdy Rovers for over 10 years! We specialize in helping anxious dogs reach their goals.
NOTE: The Relaxing Rowdy Rovers class is a subset of our Levels Program in Woodbridge. You'll sign up for a regular orientation and then join our special Relaxing Rowdy Rovers classes. Our goal with most of our Rowdy Rovers is to provide you and your dog with the tools you'll need to eventually join a Level 1 training class. This class is by invitation only. If you'd like to learn more about it, send us an email to tell us more about your dog.
Calming Cautious Canines. It's not easy having a shy dog. It's hard watching your dog when you know she is scared: worrying about new environments, trembling when friendly people approach, flinching at loud noises, or hiding behind you rather than running around checking things out. Having a shy dog can also be frustrating because the qualities you know and love so much about your dog sometimes seem to disappear when you take your dog outside. You want everyone to see the wonderful qualities about your dog, but all they see is nervous energy. This class will teach you the skills you need to help your dog develop confidence and to feel secure in new situations.
NOTE: Our Calming Cautious Canines class is included in our Levels Programs in Woodbridge.
For this class, you'll register for one of our regular training memberships and attend a Levels Orientation. Then, you'll start attending Foundations Skills classes where we will provide you and your dog with some extra skills geared especially towards confidence building and relaxation. Our Cautious Canines often spend a little longer in Foundations Skills or Level 1 just to get acclimated to the class environment and learn some basic coping skills. Our goal is to then help you proceed through the rest of the program as your dog begins to relax more.
5. How old does my puppy have to be to come to class?
The first four and a half months of your puppy's life are a wonderful time to teach him or her about the world. Let's not waste a moment of it. We like to get started with puppy socialization classes for puppies as young as 8 weeks and then move right into regular training. To learn more about the vaccination requirements for puppies, click here.
6. I have a vacation coming up and will miss some lessons. Do you provide makeup classes or extended time?
Makeup lessons, refunds, or class credits are not issued for missed classes due to personal schedule conflicts or illness.
7. How do levels classes work?
In our Woodbridge and Springfield locations, we offer a special kind of training program that offers maximum flexibility. You get a membership for a time period (rather like a gym membership) and come to the classes that fit your dog's skill level and your personal schedule. The levels program has four tiers, each with its own skills and priorities. All dogs start in Foundations Skills and move up at their own pace. You can attend any class at or below your dog's assigned level. The benefits of levels training are numerous:
- You can get two (or even three) times as much training in the same time period since our classes are offered more than once a week.
- Orientation classes start approximately every two weeks so there is little wait to enroll your dog in a class.
- All the dogs in each level are at a similar stage in training. This allows instructors to better address the needs of each dog.
- You can work at your own skill level for as long as necessary. You'll never fall behind since there is no requirement to move up.
- Students can revisit a lower level at any time to brush up on previous skills. You are encouraged to attend any class at or below your dog's level. The higher you move up, the greater flexibility you'll have.
- Dogs move in and out of each level throughout the training, which provides new dogs as distractions each week—and learning to focus on you in a distracting environment is a wonderful canine skill!
- Students can take time off if they have a very busy week or go out of town. Just return to class at the same level without fear of falling behind.
- Level 4 will continue to work on your dog's skills in a wide variety of areas such as off-leash training, public manners training, and distance commands around distractions.
8. You talk a lot about healthy food for dogs. How do I know what to choose?
At All About Dogs, we strongly believe there is a correlation between healthy eating and good behavior. While there is no single product that is perfect for all dogs, we can identify characteristics of a healthy diet. The Whole Dog Journal (which is like Consumer Reports for dog lovers) recommends changing foods regularly and prefers wet food over dry. See the Whole Dog Journal list here.

Residents who opposed a bid for a new housing estate on a green belt site celebrated its refusal by a Government minister over the weekend.
But the Ponteland Greenbelt Group is now bracing itself for an 'even tougher' challenge to try to prevent the deletion of this land as proposed in the draft version of a key county document.
Last Friday, it was revealed that the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, Greg Clark, had rejected Lugano Group's appeal over its application for up to 280 homes and other facilities on a site at Birney Hill to the south of the Darras Hall estate.
He ruled that accessibility to services and facilities from the site is 'relatively poor', the economic or social benefits of the proposed development were not convincingly argued and there would be 'clear environmental harm'.
A total of 4,310 objections were submitted when the plans were refused by Northumberland County Council.
However, in its draft Core Strategy the county authority has proposed the deletion of just over 200 acres of green belt in and around Ponteland by 2031 for a leisure centre and schools relocation and new housing and employment units.
Ponteland Greenbelt Group deputy chair Tony Noble said: "We're delighted with the Birney Hill decision and a big 'thank you' goes out to all our supporters and the residents of Ponteland. This was a community effort.
"Whilst this decision is very encouraging, the green belt around Ponteland continues to face an even greater threat from the county council's Core Strategy.
"On the one hand, the strategy proposes that Ponteland 's contribution to the housing requirement of the county is to build 640 houses.
"With the building that has already taken place and the current planning permissions granted, we are less than 50 houses short of that target, but on the other hand, the council is currently proposing to release over 200 acres of green belt land. It just doesn't make sense.
"If these plans for Ponteland are included in its final documents, we will challenge the council's overambitious and unrealistic growth ambitions when the strategy is assessed by an independent planning inspector."

Official Paperwork and Catalog Information
Below is a scan of the 1987 Dealer Price List from Lotus Distributing
Corporation in Paoli, Pennsylvania.
The building is currently a Goodyear Tire Store.
The document shows the hierarchy of the different Lotus Models in 1987 and their wholesale, quantity discount and suggested retail prices.
It's interesting to note that the top-of-the-line
Elan 75
and Prestige models had no "suggested" retail price or listed a quantity discount. We're guessing the bike shops back in the day would ask for whatever they could get for the Lotus premium bikes.
Sadly, missing from the price list is the 1987 Lotus
"Design Cinelli SUPREME"
. The 1987 Lotus Catalog states:
"From the other side of the world comes our Design Cinelli SUPREME made in Italy through an exclusive association of LOTUS and CINELLI bicycles. The SUPREME boasts a Campagnolo Super Record racing groupo , Columbus SLX frame set and Cinelli investment cast components. Each frame is hand crafted in the highest tradtions of the Italian frame builder's art. This care extends to the beautifully pantographed stems, chainrings and seat stays."
The SUPREME is pictured in the 1987 Lotus catalog in "Pastel Blue", Lotus did have this to say:
"Due to the extended times involved in producing these hand built models, production and supply may be limited."
Mixte and 27" frames were five dollars more than standard frames.
We think the four bikes at the bottom of the page weren't made by Lotus, all the lotus biked have a L-number model code and the four listings at the bottom of the page are all "T" codes.
It's amazing how much information one can learn from just one piece of paper! We're hoping to find even more official information and we're hoping some of our readers can help. Can YOU?

Torn between two destinies...
Claire is having the perfect sixteenth birthday. Her pool party is a big success, and gorgeous Matthew keeps chatting and flirting with her as if she's the only girl there. But that night, she discovers something that takes away all sense of normalcy: she's a werewolf.
As Claire is initiated into the pack of female werewolves, she must deal not only with her changing identity, but also with a rogue werewolf who is putting everyone she knows in danger. Claire's new life threatens her blossoming romance with Matthew, whose father is leading the werewolf hunt. Now burdened with a dark secret and pushing the boundaries of forbidden love, Claire is struggling to feel comfortable in either skin. With her lupine loyalty at odds with her human heart, she will make a choice that will change her forever?
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! I have read quite a few Shifter and werewolf books before but I have never come across the concept of werewolves all being females, which I really liked! My favourite characters were Claire, Marie and Zahlia, all of which are werewolves. Claire was my favourite character because she was the newest werewolf to enter the pack in this book and as she went on her journey to earn more about werewolves so did I. Marie was one of my favourite characters because of her stubborn, secretive nature and her loyalty to the pack. Zahlia was also my favourite because of her friendliness towards Claire as well as her different views on werewolf life. I love the cover of this book! The heart of branches ties in well with the story within.
Available at Amazon.co.uk.

basic black is always a good investment, however,
and after work? a pretty blouse minus the jacket takes business to dressy casual for an evening of cocktails.
where you would wear it.
Wow, that is one sharp dress =0
Definitely a powerful look. Very authoritative.
OMG! LOVE!! XOXOReplyDelete
I LOVE the red suit and many of my thrifties are from Limited!
My go-to power suit is a black jacket, pin-striped wide leg pants, a tight-fitting white tee and a POW! scarf and of course pumps....
I keep the jewelry to simple hoops or diamond studs. Sometimes I throw in a long chain necklace or brooch.
Off to enter!
Im so in red now, love it
That's a great looking suit oomph! And I so agree, that it's important to have at least one great suit. The color combinations are endless. I have basic black, chocolate and camel combinations. You can always mix and match. Thanks for giving the sweepstakes link. ((HUG))
SassyUptownChic xoxo Kim
that suit is simply amazing! so powerful and sleek! :)
you're so right that you can stick with those pieces and really just switch them around. very versatile. i love that red suit, so gorgeous. i used to always buy the editor pants from Express. they have cute stuff at a reasonable price. i guess you could even wear one of those suits to a wedding!
Pretty. I love the clean lines of a pencil skirt and blazer. The red suit looks absolutely stunning.ReplyDelete
The red suit is sassy, but sophisticated! Its got the wow factor for sure!ReplyDelete
I have a really plain black suit I bought at Express about 4 years ago, when I graduated from college. I've worked at the same place ever since, so I haven't worn it again!ReplyDelete
I have 5 suits but none are red, I work in the Finance industry so this would be a bit much but I think a red suit is awesome!ReplyDelete
Love love love express suits! I was just looking for one myself!
XO Carrie
read is such a great color. and totally perfect for Fall! love that suit!
kisses from kaitlin
i lovee the prettyy colour!! :)ReplyDelete
Love the idea !!
LOVE this suit! So sleek and absolutely fabulous! Love the red!!
Express has some great suited looks. I have shopped there before for work stuff. I have to dress up pretty professionally (always with a fashionista twist, though!) for work, so I totally get it.

I'm just so not a suit girl. I still feel like a kid in grownup's clothing if I wear one. And considering I don't wear pants either well, haha.ReplyDelete
I love suits although I don't have much occassion to wear them. I have always wanted to wear a sexy men's tuxedo inspired suit to a fancy party- maybe a New Year's Eve event!
Liv @ bklynlifestyle.blogspot.com
I love their business clothes! I like that they look professional but still feminine, because I hate having to dress like a boy.ReplyDelete
Love a suit and love making it feel "new" each time and mixing the pieces with other things!ReplyDelete

Tin Can Forest – Interview
The deep, dark forest of our collective unconscious has never seemed more beautiful and mysterious than in the images of Tin Can Forest. The Toronto-based team of artists Pat Shewchuk and Marek Colek spin tales where barter-happy demons and animal spirits, drawn from Slavic folklore, walk in step with witches and villagers. Squidface & The Meddler caught up with Tin Can Forest to ask them about their work and new book "Baba Yaga and the Wolf" from Koyama Press.
