Raccoon Creek Partnership (RCP) has been an active environmental voice in southeastern Ohio for nearly 30 years. The member-based nonprofit organization works to restore the well-being of Raccoon Creek and the communities of the six counties within its 683-square mile watershed (Athens, Hocking, Vinton, Jackson, Meigs and Gallia). When completing successful restoration projects, the group aims "to work toward conservation, stewardship, and restoration of the watershed for a healthier stream and community."
A History of Involvement
What started in the 1980s as a grassroots effort of citizens in Gallia County quickly became a cooperative partnership of local organizations, government agencies and involved citizens. Originally named the Raccoon Creek Improvement Committee (RCIC), the group's first projects included local trash pickups and logjam removals. The remediation efforts, however, did not stop there. RCIC acquired the necessary grants to fund a project that would extend beyond Gallia County to improve the health of Raccoon Creek in its entirety.
In the '90s, the RCIC launched the Raccoon Creek Watershed Project. The project included community outreach, acid mine drainage (AMD) abatement, and environmental education for the six counties in the Raccoon Creek watershed.
RCIC became Raccoon Creek Partnership (RCP) in 2007 after they worked to coordinate their efforts with local citizens of the watershed and associated agencies. The partnership developed bylaws and became incorporated with the State of Ohio, establishing their presence as an official, tax-exempt, nonprofit partnership in southeastern Ohio.
The RCP Today
Currently, RCP has an AMD remediation project underway at the Pierce Run site, a sub-watershed in the Middle Basin of the Raccoon Creek Watershed, located in Vinton County. The project includes a two-fold restorative effort: AMD treatment at Oreton Seep and a wetland enhancement of Pierce Run.
The Oreton Seep is located in a tributary of Pierce Run and was caused by the abandonment of an underground coal mine in the 1920s, leading to large amounts of acid draining into Pierce Run. Efforts to abate the drainage will include the enhancement of the 20-acre wetland to prevent minerals from the abandoned mine from draining into Pierce Run and in turn, Raccoon Creek.
The project, scheduled to reach completion by the end of the year has not been the only successful project of the Raccoon Creek Partnership. Other restoration projects by RCP include sites at Carbondale II Doser (Athens County), Hope Clay (Vinton County), and East Branch (Hocking County).
The Carbondale II Doser project, completed in 2004, led to the prevention of nearly 758 lbs. per day of acid from entering the Hewett Fork, a subwatershed of Raccoon Creek Watershed. In 2005, the Hope Clay project contributed to the prevention of over 21 lbs. per day of acid from entering Raccoon Creek.
The first phase of the AMD project at East Branch was completed in 2007, including reclamation efforts at seven sites along East Branch tributaries. The second phase of the project at East Branch is scheduled to begin once the necessary funds to continue restoring the health of the tributaries are secured.
Through AMD projects, RCP is able to reverse the damage done by years of acid mine drainage in the region. Sulfuric acid from acid mine drainage considerably decreases the health of the stream for domestic water use, as well as the abundance of aquatic life found in the waterways. AMD abatement projects work to restore the health of the stream through preventing further formation of sulfuric acid. By closely monitoring the conditions of the stream through fish and water sampling, RCP is improving the viability of the local landscape for the health of citizens and environment alike.
The Importance of Partnerships
The remediation projects of RCP continue to be successful in part because of the cooperative efforts of local and state agencies who contribute valuable services to the projects, including funding, engineering design, project construction and oversight, data collection and analysis, and educational assistance.
Agencies aiding RCP in their remediation projects include the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency Division of Surface Water, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Mineral Resources Management, the Midwest Biodiversity Institute, the Ohio University Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs, and the Soil & Water Conservation Districts in the Raccoon Creek watershed counties.
In addition to the local and state agencies partnering with RCP, there are several other watershed remediation groups that work with RCP to maximize the restoration of southeastern Ohio's streams and communities. Monday Creek Restoration Project and the Sunday Creek Watershed Group are two groups who have adopted models for watershed restoration management similar to that of the Raccoon Creek Partnership. RCP works with these organizations to share equipment and resources and to coordinate sampling efforts for remediation projects. Because of their limited funding, the organizations rely heavily on each other and on volunteers to successfully achieve their missions.
Similarly, the volunteers of the Raccoon Creek Water Trail Association work with RCP to promote conscientious use of the land in the Raccoon Creek watershed for fishing and wildlife observation. Sites such as those at Lake Hope, Jackson City Reservoir and Lake Alma are dedicated to promoting responsible recreation in the Raccoon Creek watershed communities.
Educating the Community
Watershed education and outreach programs are central to the mission of RCP. They offer many opportunities for student and community involvement as well as increased awareness of the group's efforts. While there has been steady involvement by college students, RCP hopes to further extend opportunities for involvement to the Raccoon Creek communities.
One such opportunity for residents is the Waterloo Aquatic Education Center located near Hewlett Fork in Athens County. The Raccoon Creek Partnership is in the process of restoring the center, (formerly the Waterloo Wildlife Area Headquarters), into a resource for aquatic education accessible by all.
The Waterloo Wildlife Area encompasses an area of approximately 3000 acres with 35 hiking trails and is the site of many research projects including animal surveys and habitat management. In addition to the research projects conducted here, the education center is open to local school groups and environmental groups through RCP programs for field trips and environmental science workshops.
Plans for the education center include strengthening the relationship between citizens of the watershed and their environment through aquatic science education programs. To that end, RCP plans to equip the education center with resources for wildlife observation including microscopes, a stream table, a model of the watershed, and a research library with a computer station.
Student Partners
Over the past 10 years, graduate students from Ohio University have advanced RCP's success and goals for education and community involvement. One such project is that of Ohio University student Qian Zhang. Zhang is a graduate student in the department of geological sciences at Ohio University. She serves as an intern for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources while working with RCP to conduct water sampling, macro invertebrate sampling and GIS mapping. In addition to these duties, Zhang helps with map-making, report-writing and reviewing management plans.
"It's a very creative thing to do [involving students in RCP projects]. We can participate in activities and lend ideas to help with normal routines," said Zhang. In addition to her regular activities with RCP, Zhang also helped with RCP's Waterloo 2009 summer camps, commenting that she feels it is important to "…educate kids about science."
The relationship between RCP and Ohio University students is mutually beneficial, as students like Qian Zhang provide RCP with their knowledge and expertise and in turn, RCP provides students with a "real world" lab in their own backyard where they can complete their research. This relationship is pivotal to the success of both the Raccoon Creek Partnership and students at Ohio University.
What's Next for RCP?
In addition to the education center, RCP continues to coordinate community events including canoe floats, trash pick-ups, stream sweeps, watershed projects and tours, public meetings, and classroom presentations to K-12 schools in the area. The RCP annual dinner, scheduled for Nov. 8, 2009 from 3:00-6:00 p.m. is the third annual RCP dinner. The evening will include a raffle, silent auction, watershed updates and RCP board elections.
The community-based vision and restorative efforts of the original RCIC continue to guide the successful Raccoon Creek Partnership today. Its success can be measured in the many miles of clean rivers and streams, as well as the many local residents that have come to value and appreciate their watershed. The Raccoon Creek Partnership's unique blend of restoration, science education, and recreation make it a successful model for other remediation-oriented organizations and nonprofit agencies in southeastern Ohio to engage citizens in cleaning up their local environment.

Global Warming Show Finished Recording
Global Warming is a "hot" issue (sorry 'bout that), and this show is nothing short of unexpected. Karen or I will post some information about the guests, but we've got them from both sides of the issue.
Most interesting to me is that there is finally some consensus. The verdict is in: Global Warming is Real! It's just that there are people out there trying to do a power grab — under the guise of saving the world. Nobody wants to destroy our environment…
The Global Warming debate, however, continues!

Starting next Monday, I am hosting a Sugar Detox Challenge. Participants will be giving up refined sweeteners and white flour for two weeks (and many will give up all sweeteners, too). While preparing for it, I was reminded of a 2010 interview I did with a woman named Jennifer who turned her life around. Sometimes just one change, like taking out refined sugar, can change your life. Here's the interview.
Jennifer, you cut refined sugar from your diet three years ago. What lead you to make that decision?
Basically, I was sick of feeling like crap about myself. I was tired all the time, I was 30 pounds heavier, I never worked out because I just didn't have the drive for it. I was eating what I thought was "healthy;" granola bars, protein bars, bagels. I was always what I would call a "sugar-addict" — I was just eating the junk 24-7. I finally decided I would give not eating sugar a try, even for a little while, to see if I felt a difference.
What was the hardest part about giving up sugar?
Pressure. Especially at birthday parties. People will always pressure you; I'm not sure if it's a self-conscious thing that you're doing something so epic? I sometimes feel like a jerk when I'm at a sibling/friend/nephew/niece's birthday party and I don't eat cake. But it's been three years, most people have given up pressuring me to "just eat a piece already."
How did you feel the first few weeks?
The first week was utter garbage. I wanted cookies and brownies SO badly. Sugar is so far ingrained into our blood streams between the refined sugar/corn syrup/random "extrin"s, as I call them — of course we crave it. It's in basically every single processed food, right down to turkey meat and spaghetti sauces. But I lost 10 pounds within the first couple of weeks just by saying goodbye to dessert. I wasn't even hardcore yet back then — I was still eating processed foods like boxed dinners and frozen meals.
How did you persevere and deal with sugar cravings?
Bananas were and remain my go-to food. Aside from being a fantastic post-workout recovery food, they are high enough in natural sugar to switch my brain off of sugar crave over-drive. I also like Lindt's 90 percent Cocoa Supreme Dark chocolate; less than a gram of sugar per square, and a good source of iron. Once you get the sugar out of your system, that super-dark chocolate tastes amazing.
What difference has it made in how you feel?
I feel … great. Much more energy than I used to have. As I said, I started with just nixing dessert. Which branched into not buying frozen meals, and instead cooking my own meals and freezing them. Which branched into shopping the perimeter of the grocery store (produce, meat, dairy), with stops in the center aisles only for pasta and oatmeal. Once my energy levels were so high, and my moods started stabilizing, and my body started responding by shedding the extra weight… I thought, "OK, what next?" So I started training for a 5K. Then a half-marathon. Then a 25K (15.53 miles). Right now I'm a team leader for a run camp here in Michigan, training for the very first Kalamazoo Marathon in May of 2010! (P.S.: first person from every state to register gets free registry and a free pair of shoes! Google it up!) I recently started playing with buying/eating all organic food; it's expensive, but worth it to eat chemical/pesticide-free foods! I've noticed that between the foods I buy, the daily multi-vitamin I take, and the exercise I do … I hardly EVER get sick. You know, it's exciting that a whole world of opportunities has opened up to me, and all I had to do was change the way I eat. I just feel so confident.
What are your favorite sugar-free treats?
Favorites are bananas, pineapple and mango. Of course, those all have natural-occurring sugar, but they also have a host of vital nutrients. I also like SUPER dark chocolate, 85 percent or higher. Lindt and Green & Black are favorites! Just stay away from artificial sweeteners. I used to make the mistake filling up on "sugar-free" candies and ice creams, because they were sugar-free. But they aren't really danger-free; they are full of chemicals, and send a signal to your brain similar to sugar … they'll royally screw your body over.
Any last thoughts for those doing a sugar free week?
Be prepared for it to suck at first. Be prepared for people to judge you. Be prepared to fall at least once (maybe a few times). But also be prepared to feel great. Be prepared to lose weight. Be prepared to expand your world. Be prepared to finally have a grip on your own life, instead of the food you eat having a grip on it.
I find Jennifer's story inspiring. What about you? Have you made a dietary change that then changed your life for the better?

Elected officials from cities across southeast Los Angeles County pledged Monday evening to marshal their political power to sway regulators to shut down a Vernon battery recycler that residents fear is harming their health because of arsenic and lead emissions.
"The solution ... is right here in this room," Huntington Park Councilwoman Karina Macias told a packed meeting hall at Resurrection Catholic Church in Boyle Heights. "More marches. More meetings like this one."
The crowd, including several children and a woman costumed in a hazmat suit, cheered their approval.
Residents and elected officials have been angered about Exide Technologies since spring, when the South Coast Air Quality Management District released a health-risk report showing that elevated arsenic emissions from the plant had posed an increased cancer risk to more than 110,000 people.
Air district officials said last week that the same health risk assessment showed that more than 250,000 people from Boyle Heights to Maywood and Huntington Park faced a "chronic hazard" from exposure to arsenic, including the possibility that children could suffer neurological effects. Air district officials stressed there is no evidence that such a large number of people have been harmed, only that they could be.
Exide officials, who could not be reached for comment Monday, have in the past said arsenic emissions have been reduced substantially since the high readings that triggered the health risk assessment were recorded.
Nevertheless, officials from Huntington Park, Maywood, Compton and Bell said they intend to fight the plant, including holding public protests, lobbying Congress to put pressure on the federal Environmental Protection Agency to step in and even trying to unseat a judge who ruled the plant could stay open.
"They're poisoning us," one woman said. "We need to unite."
Regulators have been struggling to address residents' environmental and health concerns about the plant for months.
When the air district first revealed the elevated cancer risk, regulators from the state Department of Toxic Substances Control moved to temporarily suspend plant operations.
But Exide, which filed for bankruptcy protection this summer, appealed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, arguing that the plant did not pose "an imminent and substantial" danger to the public and that regulators were acting capriciously under public and political pressure. A judge sided with the company, saying it could resume operations.
Last month, state officials announced that the company would begin testing to determine if dangerous metals have accumulated near the plant. In the past, regulators have found that lead dust had sprinkled down on rooftops and streets. Local officials said they are also exploring the possibility of testing residents' blood to determine if dangerous substances are present.

Promotional Clothing As Promotional GiftsMost companies have at least one or two promotional clothing items that their employees can wear. However, what about giving away these items as promotional gifts? Some companies do it, and some do not. Is it the best idea? Analyze the pros and cons to decide if promotional clothing will work as promotional gifts for you. One of the main advantages of using promotional clothing as promotional gifts is that the item is useful. The more useful an item, the more likely your potential clients and customers will be to actually keep it around. The problem with many companies' promotional gifts is that they end up in the trashcan at the end of the day. This is lost revenue, especially because not only did the original recipient not use the promotional gift, but also no one else had the chance to see the promotional gift being used or carried either. Few people, however, will throw away a brand new promotional clothing item, simply because it is too useful. If they don't want the item
Promotional USB Flash Drives - Buyer BewareWhen you think of the promotional USB flash drive industry what words come to mind? Deception, scandal, fraud? I am guessing no. However, for those looking to purchase customized USB drives those words may be closer to your reality than you think. Buyer beware, this is a perilous industry. The majority of USB drives come from China. Virtually no USB Wholesaler carries inventory. This means that they never physically see your product. Therefore, quality control is a serious issue and the possibility of receiving defective flash drives is pretty high. Below are some of the more common mistakes that wholesale USB consumers make and some advice that will help you avert these pitfalls: Penny Saver #1: Saving $100 can cost you $1000's! Do not put your brand in the hands of an untrustworthy USB provider. Problem #1: Buying low quality wholesale USB's can ruin your professional credibility! 90% of USB horror stories start right here.

How to Buy Wholesale from ChinaWhatever type of business you are in, there will always be competitors. As a business owner, you'll definitely be happier when your business is on top of others. But you're also worried when others are getting their way up to your position. Competitors employ different strategies in business. When you notice a competitor selling the same items at prices less expensive than yours, your competitor will definitely be on top of every customer's list. This has been made possible because your competitor has obtained a good wholesale price. Through this, both of the competitor's sales and profits will increase. If you're a new seller, making massive orders may not seem like an advantage at your end. Large investments are needed which might make you hesitant. However, if you can do it, then give it a try. Doing so will really increase your sales since taking on massive orders is actually cheaper. This should be your goal. When you say massive orders, you will usu

Each individual manuscript could have acquired readings from more than one source independently. This means that the diagram encompasses ALL combinatorical possibilities, and this involves many hundreds of variations as to the actual transmission of readings. Its not just two stemmas. Mink has in a relatively simple and intuitive way shown all the most likely possibilities (1st and 2nd order) by which the extant manuscripts could have come to contain their texts.
He still uses vertical position to indicate manuscript date (and therefore has avoided the question of age of text vs. date of MS.).
Other useful innovations are possible. In the following diagram, mixture (cross-copying of readings) is indicated in contrast to genealogical relationship (where the majority of the text was copied from).

Nowadays, it is acknowledged that manuscript relations are not as sharp as simple lines. To show dependence and mixture of text-types as opposed to single manuscripts, something more realistic and representative of "flows and streams" of transmission is given below:

Much can be learned from various solutions to displaying human genealogies. The important relations between individuals need to be retained in detailed family trees, and such methods give us ideas for similar problems with manuscripts. In the following diagram, secondary texts, alternate readings, and the spread of influence can be placed inside boxes using symbols and color-codes if desired:
Where generational information is available, it may be more desirable to display that than manuscript ages:
Sometimes, genealogical dependence is unknown at the start of an investigation. What is needed is to plot affinity or closeness of relation, without presuming dependence per se. Such diagrams, while not 'true stemma', in that they don't indicate direction of dependence, can help to sort and solve relationships when coupled with other data. Two such forms are as follows:
In one diagram, size of node indicates importance, while in the other, the connection is stressed, and its strength is indicated by thickness or style of line.
When many manuscripts are to be displayed and they are not closely related, and many others are missing from the stream, so that no real accurate stemmas are possible, a different method of display is preferable, as in the following diagram:
In other cases, genealogical connections are possible, but mixture may be as strong as genealogical dependence, and so it can be shown with similar lines:
In some situations, alternate routes of dependence are more important than spread of texts, and these details can be highlighted and elaborated with colors and symbols, as in the diagrams below;
In many cases, the earlier manuscripts are missing, and only the later copies survive. Here genealogical relations must be deduced by working backward from extant MSS to the proposed source-structures:
When groupings need to emphasized, another style of display can be used:
Color-coding can be effectively used to indicate groupings, and a more natural, organic display will illustrate the connections nicely:
Since the mass of manuscripts are quite late copies, a realistic understanding of the circumstances can help immensely in capturing the essence of things:
Above all, a look at the many options that are available can greatly stimulate both analysis and articulation/communication of data effectively.
Keep trying various methods, to see what is effective for your data, and someday your genealogical stemmas will be as nice as ours:

text: Very easy drive and the most notable part was that we had a strong tail wind and while cruising at 80MPH past Cabazon the car was actually coasting without any energy usage. And right before our turn onto Bob Hope drive we were passed by a Model S at around ~120 MPH! As it was coming up from behind I thought it was a supercar. We were going 80 and it passed by in a split second like we were standing still. It went off into the distance and I never saw brake lights come on! Hope they didn't get a ticket!

Bio: Born in 1910, Coach John Wooden was the first person to be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame both as a player and coach, while ESPN ranks him as the greatest coach of all time, across all sports. He has created a model, the Pyramid of Success, and authored several books to impart his insight on achievement to others.
Summary: With profound simplicity, Coach John Wooden redefines success and urges us all to pursue the best in ourselves. In this inspiring talk he shares the advice he gave his players at UCLA, quotes poetry and remembers his father's wisdom. Ted.com

Bio: Yves Morieux is a senior partner in BCG's Washington D.C. office and director of the BCG Institute for Organization.
Summary: Why do people feel so miserable and disengaged at work?

(No need for incense or sitting in uncomfortable positions.) Ted.com
Bio: Richard St. John is a success analyst, an entrepreneur, and the author of the bestselling book, The 8 Traits Successful People Have In Common: 8 To Be Great.

The Future of User Interfaces
No, not another post about AJAX.
Instead, I'm thinking about A Digital Life by Gordon Bell in this month's Scientific American. The author is talking about the ability to set up computers and sensors to record all the experiences of a person during his or her lifetime. While I really don't want that for myself, I do think this is the future of user interface. Namely, the end of the concept of "user interface."
One day, it will seem strange that there was once a concept such as user interface. Instead, devices of all stripes will follow us around, record what we're doing, and then coordinate with each other to make our lives easier. The computer will become simultaneously ubiquitous and invisible. A terminal screen with a keyboard would be as quaint as an RCA Victorola.
If this sounds futuristic to you, then perhaps you've spent too long struggling with poorly designed user interfaces to remember how computers should work. Computers should help make our lives better. Instead, they've become the ultimate idiot-savants that require constant instructions from us: click on this screen, then that tab, locate this sub-button, and change this flag. Even the best user interfaces just make the experience more sugar-coated ("A spoon-full of sugar makes the medicine go down?") All too often, though, we have nothing better than
static screens that present data and allow us to update them. This is no more sophisticated than the software that our grandparents probably used in the 1960's.
But let's not despair: the future will be better. All we have to do is follow this basic rule: How can we help our users do what they want with the fewest clicks possible? This implies doing the following:
- Build interfaces to what our users need to do, not what our programs can do.
- Speak to users in natural languages.
- Automate as much as possible.
- Remember each user's preferences and deliver a real custom experience for them.
- Integrate with outside devices.

Maintaining Good Citizenship through a Citizenship Coursework
Although this seems to be an uncommon assignment, the sole objective of assigning citizenship coursework writing is to create a clear idea to the students on any topics which comes under the scope of "citizenship". The term citizenship means the membership given to an individual by a specific community i.e. a country or a state, hence this status would entitled to specific rights, privileges as well as duties and obligations, however citizenship can be looked into different types such as native citizenship, honorary citizenship as well as citizenships of integrated political blocks.
Also a citizen of a country or a state can consist of native individuals as well as migrants. Therefore assuring that all citizens are aware of the country's regulatory system is not possible; hence the coursework writing is implemented as part of the students' educational curriculum so as educate them with subsequent information regarding a specific country and its political and legal systems. This kind of coursework will not only sharpen the writing skills of the students but also create a heightened awareness and involvement regarding citizenship issues. This coursework would require extensive researches regarding a specific country and what ever found out has to be presented through essay writing. This enables the students to gain knowledge in depth relating to the civic rights, legislature, and social responsibilities and so on.
In addition this would enable to compare different political policies of different nations. For example a country which holds a policy of democracy can differ widely from a socialist country. Therefore the students will get a clear knowledge regarding differential government policies.
A student can develop a citizenship coursework based on general topics regarding a country such as the fair trade, civil rights, climate change, crime rate, media independence etc. where a comprehensive essay can be written by comparing and contrasting specific issues of a country such as "how far do the public community make use of the voting rights","tax payment vs. national development" and so on. This would allow students with vast opportunities to get an understanding of how a country or a state operates and its laws and regulations. Therefore if students have any misunderstanding and controversial views regarding the role of the government this coursework would enable those students to overcome their wrong attitude.
The above mentioned benefits of citizenship coursework ensure prosperity and peace among individuals towards a harmonious nation which can lead to global harmony. Although this seems to be one of a kind assessment the pupil might find it difficult in terms of gathering information and presentation. In such circumstances, the best option is to log onto coursework-writing.co.uk and enlist coursework help. This website provides you with assistance, guidance, examples and even custom writing which can lead towards a perfect completion of the coursework writing.

Business Valuation
What is my Business Worth today?
… And what could it be worth tomorrow?
These are two very important questions that every entrepreneur should be asking him or herself. Even if selling your business is not a priority right now, or ever, a business should always be 'built to sell'. Think about your business for a moment, and consider the following:
Does it have true worth as an asset that generates profit regardless if the owner works in it or not?
Who would buy it? Somebody who wants to work a high paying 'job', or an investor who is looking for 'turn key' profit machines? Perhaps a larger competitor?
A great way to track if you are growing your company as an investment and as a financial asset, is to complete a regular business valuation.
Why is this Information Important to Me?
When you know how much your business is worth (officially, not what your heart and years of hard work tell you it's worth) you are better equipped to make objective and informed decisions by weighing the risks and rewards. The data in our Business Valuation report will allow you to:
- Sell your company for top market price
- Receive added lines of credit or loans from banks and investors
- Grow confidence of partners to further invest in the business
- Align the business for optimal transition or passing to next generation.
- Negotiate Buy/Sell agreements in confidence
- Have real asset analysis for insurance policies
With our world-class valuation tools, you can get an accurate valuation report for a fraction of the typical cost – so stop guessing and find out how much your business is really worth.
Your Business May be Worth More than you Think
In less than 24 hours from receiving your full details, you can get a unique and dynamically driven report on your business valuation. This will include a valuation in different scenarios and will include a comparison across the market.
- Register your interest: Enter your details in the contact form below. You will only have to submit some basic details at this stage, so that we're able to get in touch with you later.
- Wait for the follow up call: One of our experienced team members will get in touch to collect the complete details of your business that we need to complete your valuation.
- Receive your 23-page PDF report: We will use our powerful business valuation tool to assess your business. We endeavour to deliver all reports within 24 hours of collection of details.
- Book your complimentary Strategy Session: Once you have received your report, you will have access to a 60-minute complimentary Strategy Session where Murtaza will take you through the quickest and most powerful strategies that you can implement straight away to start raising the value of your business.
Your 23-page pdf report will include:
When you know how much your business is worth (officially, not what your heart and years of hard work tell you it's worth) you are better equipped to make objective and informed decisions by weighing the risks and rewards. The data in our Business Valuation report will allow you to:
- Customised, number-driven valuation report
- Four different estimates of value including a range of scenarios
- Financial assessments and summary relative to industry data
- Comparative analysis of income, cash flow, assets, plus other fundamental metrics and critical success factors
- Financial, business, and growth characteristics to calculate your business value

Plague of Shadows: A Written Remains Anthology, edited by J. M. Reinbold and Weldon Burge (Smart Rhino Publications, Fall 2018) is the kind of book writers and readers need. Writers need it because it showcases their work and readers because it offers fresh perspectives on complex subjects.
Plague of Shadows is a theme anthology about ghosts, featuring original stories and poems by the Written Remains Writers Guild, plus a handful of reprints from well-known invited authors.
Starving Time by Jane Miller
Bark of the Dog-Faced Girl by Maria Masington
McMurdo Sound by Billie Sue Mosiman (reprint)
For Number 11 by Carson Buckingham
Powder Burns by J. Gregory Smith
The Bottom of the Hour by Phil Giunta
Neighbors from Hell by Graham Masterton (reprint)
Finding Resolution by Patrick Derrickson
The Fierce Stabbing and Subsequent Post-Death Vengeance of Scooter Brown by Jeff Strand (reprint)
On the House by Jacob Jones-Goldstein
No Good Deed by Gail Husch
Haunting the Past by Jasper Bark (reprint)
To Heart's Content by Shannon Connor Winward
Twelve Steps by Jeff Markowitz (reprint)
Song of the Shark God by JM Reinbold
Dollhouse by Jennifer Loring
The Black Dog of Cabra by Patrick Conlon
The Angel's Grave by Chantal Nordeloos (reprint)
Vindictive by Weldon Burge
A Hanger in the World of Dance by Stephanie M. Wytovich
Not surprising, two of the best original stories are by the editors: "Song of the Shark God" by JM Reinbbold and "Vindicative" by Weldon Burge. Others that will haunt you are "Bark of the Dog-Faced Girl" by Maria Masington , a marvelous tale about adolescent angst; "For Number 11", an ambitious tale that mixes history with the supernatural; and "Bottom of the Hour", an interesting twist on "For Whom the Bell Tolls."
My favorite story is "Finding Resolution" by Patrick Derrickson. It's more science fiction than pure horror, even if the spacecraft does have a ghost. But not only is it very well-written, the inevitable ending is so fulfilling and satisfying it brought tears to my eyes. Kind of the way Tom Godwin's "The Cold Equations" did when I first read it more than half-a-century ago.
"To Heart's Content" by Shannon Connor Winward is my second favorite story in this anthology. It's an apocalyptic tale of a lost innocence and a lost love haunting a handful of survivors.

On Thursday I will have completed a full month as a public defender. The move out here went smoothly and we're pretty much settled in. It's been busy, with two trips back to the east coast, so not a lot of time to rest.
Life as a PD is busy. I have over 100 cases right now, and should have over 150 by the end of this week, as more are transferred to me. I'm regularly in the office until 6:30 or 7:00, catching up on writing motions and returning client phone calls.
I was supposed to have worked on two trials by now, but one client didn't show up on time to court and another trial got continued because the prosecution didn't have their witness. I have another trial scheduled for next week.
I'll try to update more often, but I'm pretty busy and there's a lot of stuff I can't say, due to client confidentiality concerns.

Hospital operating rooms (ORs) are typically high cost centers—as well as potentially high revenue centers. Most hospitals charge OR time by the minute, so there is tremendous pressure to make peri-operative services as efficient as possible. The incentive toward efficiency was heightened throughout the U.S. in the mid-2000s, as insurance and Medicare reimbursements dropped significantly.
Central Maine Medical Center (CMMC)—a large general medical hospital and three regional affiliate hospitals serving a population base of nearly half a million people in central and western Maine—sought to build capacity within its surgery division without raising labor costs. Efficiency studies that tracked patients through every step of their surgical experience at CMMC revealed that poor communication among hospital staff members was creating unnecessary delays in processes.
Since implementing the Vocera® Communication System in 2011, CMMC has seen dramatic increases in the efficiency of its surgery department. The hospital has used the voice-driven, hands-free Vocera Badges to create an additional 350 hours of annual OR capacity while saving more than $300,000 in yearly labor costs.
Slow Responses Diminished OR Efficiency
"Walkie-talkies, beepers, and overhead paging were the traditional communication technologies in place. None were effective at getting answers to questions, or finding people or specialized pieces of equipment, when they were needed," said Bruce O'Donnell, Chief Nurse Anesthetist and the administrator in charge of CMMC's nurse anesthesiology department. "We knew we had a major internal communication problem that we needed to address."
The issue was not the volume of communication—the top six surgical division team members were receiving more than 750 pages a month—but its effectiveness. For instance, each of those pages had an average closed-loop cycle time of three minutes, and sometimes a number of pages would have to be exchanged to get an answer to a simple question.
The communication problem translated directly into delays in nearly every step that surgical patients took in their time at CMMC: from admissions into the hospital, through pre operative, OR, and post-operative areas, through recovery time and finally release from the hospital.
To address their communication issues, CMMC considered giving everyone in the surgery department a walkie-talkie-like solution from Nextel, but that system's satellite operation created security and patient confidentiality concerns for the hospital's IT staff. The IT department rejected the use of cell phones for the same reasons.
Vocera Streamlines and Simplifies Communication
"We chose the Vocera System because it is wireless and operates inside the hospital over the hospital's wireless infrastructure. It alleviated the security and privacy concerns of other open network approaches," said O'Donnell. "Vocera makes it easy for hospital staff members to communicate with each other instantaneously."
CMMC deployed the Vocera System and distributed Vocera Badges to staff members throughout the hospital's surgery division, which encompasses 24 beds for same-day surgery and admission; a 5-bed holding bay for pre-op; 16 OR suites on 3 different floors; and a 10-bed PACU (postanesthesia care unit) suite. They deployed Vocera as a "pyramid" with the staff, starting with runners such as orderlies, the room turn-over teams, and then the anesthesiology department.
"With Vocera, we can immediately get an extra set of hands to help with a patient in the PACU, or quickly locate specialized equipment that might be in a different end of a wing or on a different floor," O'Donnell said.
Delivering Quantifiable Improvements
CMMC's administrators insist on measurable bottom-line results in all aspects of the hospital's operation. "When the CFO signed off on the capital expense for Vocera, he demanded that we provide data points at the end of the first year of deployment," O'Donnell said. Because the hospital already had SIS (Surgical Information System) electronic medical record (EMR) tools in place, they could compare productivity, delays, and other metrics before and after the Vocera deployment. "We had tons of data, we just needed to mine it."
Highlights of CMMC's analysis, comparing essentially the same patient volume in FY 2010 (pre-Vocera) to FY 2011 (with Vocera):
• Increased capacity was created in the surgical department through a 26% decrease in high-impact delays (as identified by team leaders); a 2.6% drop in average length of each surgical case (responsible for opening up 350 hours of capacity); and a 2.7% decrease in the total time spent on surgical division procedures for the same number of cases.
• Productivity improved 9%.
• Labor costs were lowered by more than $300,000, by decreasing FTEs (full-time equivalent workers) and paid hours by 11.6%.
• Communication time decreased as measured by a 93% plummeting of beeper pages per month—which at 3 minutes per page, cut 35 hours of communication time per month.
O'Donnell identified four additional areas where Vocera has provided unexpected benefits:
• Safety—Nurses and other healthcare professionals on staff can get help with patients almost instantaneously, without leaving the patient's side. Instead of minutes being wasted in finding or remembering beeper numbers or waiting for pages to broadcast and be answered, with the Vocera System a specific person can be called to help in mere seconds.
• Broadcast ability—Vocera lets the CMMC staff reach groups of individuals all at the same time, simply by saying the group name into the Vocera Badge. "This capability saves an enormous amount of time when you don't have to dial each person in the group one at a time," said O'Donnell. The ability to broadcast with Vocera also makes it easy to find shared, specialized equipment. Rather than sending someone from room to room to look for a glidescope, for instance, "Vocera lets you press a button, broadcast that you need a glidescope in Room 3, and you get an immediate response: 'I'll bring it right over,'" he said.
• OR flow—ORs demand lots of staff besides the surgeon, including the anesthesiologist, scrub nurses, circulating nurses, orderlies, and other surgical assistants. "These staff members are not on leashes and must be mobile. If an operation does not start on time, everyone disappears to do other things," said O'Donnell. "Rounding them up again used to take lots of time. With Vocera, you can say, 'Report to OR 4 for immediate surgery' and all the appropriate people know to take their places right away."
• Answering simple but important questions—"Let's say the admitting ward needs to tell an anesthesiologist that a patient's blood sugar results are out of whack, so anesthesia needs to be postponed or recalculated, which could impact the OR schedule for the whole day," said O'Donnell. "Previously, that simple exchange might have taken 10 or 15 minutes, by the time the admitting clerk tracked down the anesthesiologist. With Vocera, the whole conversation can be completed in well under a minute."
While O'Donnell has not conducted a formal employee satisfaction test on Vocera, he said, "I know I would have a mutiny on my hands here if I ever tried to remove it. And other departments are now clamoring for the system: respiratory therapy, lab, emergency department, ICU (intensive care unit), and radiology."
O'Donnell appreciates the Vocera System for another, more personal reason, as well. "The president of the hospital has made it clear that in these times of financial crunch, it is important that people be responsible about capital purchases," he said. "Because I was the one pushing for the Vocera System, I became accountable for its performance. The fact that we were able to prove quantitatively that it did what it promised to do, I now have more credibility for the next time I want to make a request."

Cheating on your partner is no laughing matter — except, maybe, when it's not actually happening. Amid rumors that country superstar Brad Paisley has been having an affair, his wife of 10 years, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, stepped out in New York City and cheerfully dismissed the notion of his infidelity as ludicrous.
In fact, the rumors are so far-fetched that the Nashville actress, 42, wasn't even aware of them until Us Weekly caught up with her on Thursday, Nov. 21, at the 5th Annual African Children's Choir Gala.
"Am I in the National Enquirer?" she asked when Us brought up the gossip. "You're breaking it to me! What did I do?"
Once informed of the report, which claims that Williams-Paisley's husband has been hooking up with his CMAs cohost Carrie Underwood, the Father of the Bride alum (who, incidentally, played someone's mistress on Nashville last season) burst out laughing. "Are you serious?" she said. "Wow! I hope it helps our careers! That's all I can say."
In reality, the couple's marriage is still very strong. "We have family Sundays together," Williams-Paisley told Us of life with her husband and their two kids, Huck, 6, and Jasper, 4. "We spend as much time as we can. We're very down-to-earth people. We come from good families, and we appreciate family."
Asked what she loves most about the "I Can't Change the World" singer, she replied, "His sense of humor. [He makes me laugh] not all the time, but when it's important!"

Coupe (section or cross section) is used contrary to élévation (elevation).
A coup emphasises on what is shown when one cuts through an object or a building.
A plan could be defined as a section in the horizontal plane; sections are normally cross or longitudinal sections.

According to reports, AS Roma have won the race to sign Paris Saint-Germain starlet, Adrien Rabiot, after the teenager agreed a deal in principle with the Italian side.
The 19-year-old is expected to leave PSG in January after failing to agree terms regarding a new contract, and with the club keen to avoid losing him on a free next Summer, they will look to sell him in January so that they can raise funds from his sale.

- Strootman not for sale, warns Roma
Laurent Blanc, who has held numerous talks with Rabiot, is resigned to losing the teenage sensation and will look to move him on in January for a fee believed to be around £5.6million.
However, according to reports, Rabiot has already agreed a contract in principle with Italian side, Roma, and could join them on a free next Summer, meaning PSG won't make any money from the deal.
Premier League Snub
Rabiot has been tracked and monitored by three Premier League clubs, with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United, all interested in signing the midfielder, but it looks like they are all set to miss out on the Frenchman as Roma awaits.
Chelsea and Arsenal have been interested in Rabiot since the Summer, whilst United have sparked interest in the last few weeks, but it appears all three have lost the race after the player held talks with Roma boss, Rudi Garcia.
Contract Demands Refused
After failing to agree terms on a deal with the French side, Rabiot came back to the club with demands he wants in order to make him renew his contract.
The Frenchman wanted a substantial pay-rise and also wanted to be guaranteed regular first-team football, but after holding talks with Blanc, both demands were rejected.
Roma Talks
Garcia has been interested in the French midfielder for some-time now, and admitted that the club were monitoring his contract saga in Paris, but now, according to reports, talks between Garcia and Rabiot's representatives have been held, and a deal has been agreed in principle.
It's believed Roma have offered the midfielder a contract worth £4million-a-year, breaking down to roughly £83k-a-week.
