For employees, business trips are an opportunity to get out of the office and benefit from a change in surroundings. Employers, on the other hand, may be more concerned about footing the bill.
Now, new research from fuel card provider Allstar Business Solutions has revealed the cheapest – and most expensive – British cities to take your company on a short-term visit.
The study used common, day-to-day expenses such as fuel, food, transport and accommodation to find out the level of disparity between domestic destinations for business trips.
Somewhat predictably, business trips to London emerged as the most costly – at £342.31, as much 57 per cent more expensive than any other UK city.

Manchester followed with a £247.16 price tag, and the two cities together were some way ahead of the remaining 18 locations.
Five cheapest cities for business trips:
- Bradford (£147.70)
- Plymouth (£149.64)
- Hull (£151.90)
- Newcastle (£152.90)
- Brighton (£153.30)
Five most expensive cities for business trips:
- London (£342.31)
- Manchester (£247.16)
- Birmingham (£207.07)
- Edinburgh (£198)
- Sheffield (£195.03)
For employers looking to put up staff overnight, the nation's most affordable hotels were found in Humberside. At £82, an overnight stay in Hull was just a fraction of the average night in the capital of £264.
Meanwhile, the cheapest breakfasts were identified in Coventry, at £9. Everyday items, such as cappuccinos and bottles of water, were priced more similarly across the UK. However, business owners could purchase both of these items for £2.64, while the coffee alone in Bristol was priced at £2.70.
The smallest expenses gaps were found in the cost of fuel, with just a nine per cent difference between the London price and the least expensive, in Bradford.
Commenting on the findings, Paul Baker, Allstar Business Solution's vice president for customer management, suggested a few changes could help decision makers at small companies make significant savings.
"Taking control of your business expenses can be difficult at first, but by updating your company's policies and effectively monitoring your expenditure, your business can quickly rein in those loose ends," he said.
Allstar Business Solutions offered small firm owners four advice points to ensure business trips remain a cost-effective option
- Making hotel reservations well in advance can save your business a lot of money, four to five weeks is typically the optimal time to book.
- Budget hotel options aren't the most glamourous but serve their purpose and can be far cheaper than other hotel chains.
- Hotels where breakfast included in the price can work out cheaper than ones without.
- Dining can be expensive, using restaurant discount loyalty cards can lower the costs.
Five clever ways to lower the cost of business travel
There are ways to cut the cost of business travel for your small company quite significantly. All it requires is some planning, research and resourcefulness.

U & I Restaurant serving you and I for 40 years
U & I Restaurant began serving its fresh, hearty dishes to Corpus Christi diners well over 40 years ago. It was founded In 1971 by George Piperis, who still runs the restaurant at 309 S. Water St. in Corpus Christi today. He bases the long success on his philosophy of nurturing an interdependence between his business and the community it serves. This philosophy is embodied in the name of the restaurant — U & I.
In today's world of texting, this might seem like a form of text-speak, but Piperis came up with the name long before cell phones.
"U & I describes the relationship between the customer and the owner," he told Corpus Christi Business News. "It is a relationship between you and I. I can serve the community as long as the people come and support my restaurant. So you can't have one without the other. We truly appreciate our customers. Without them, there is no restaurant."
Piperis is originally from Greece. He came to the United States when he was 27, living the first few years in New York City. When he traveled to Corpus Christi on a visit, he fell in love with the area.
"Corpus Christi reminded me of home," he said. "It was surrounded by water and was a smaller city with a simpler way of life [than New York.]"
His entire family became involved in the restaurant business as they grew up and now, as adults, help run the popular eatery.
Sophia Piperis manages the floor, while son, Bill Piperis, works the kitchen as the restaurant's talented chef.
"They are both very hard workers," Piperis said. "And they love working with the public."
Work is certainly one aspect of the business upon which the whole family agrees. Running a successful restaurant takes a tremendous amount of it!
"The restaurant business is like a marriage," Piperis said. "You have to give it as much attention as you would your family."
Sophia Piperis agreed.
"This is a seven-day-a-week job," she said. "We are here at 7 a.m. preparing for the 11 o'clock lunch hour."
The family proudly offers a broad menu that includes many Greek favorites but also Mexican and Italian cuisine as well as a choice steaks and fresh seafood. U & I boasts unique dishes prepared on an open-flame, mesquite charbroiler.
"The quality of our food is our top priority," Sophia Piperis stressed. "Everything that comes out of our kitchen was made here from scratch every day — our sauces and dressings — everything."
Their attention to maintaining a quality, wide-ranging menu is for the customer, George Piperis said. The success of their approach is evident by the consistent stream of patrons reflected in their constantly full parking lot.
"Thank goodness for the people of Corpus Christi for supporting us for so many years," George Piperis said.
U & I Restaurant serves lunch and dinner seven days a week with daily lunch specials. It offers an impressive wine selection and a full bar. A banquet room is available for booking private parties up to 60 people.

Moldova is a landlocked country, sitting between Romania and Ukraine, in the far reaches of Eastern Europe. With a population of just over 3.5 million, its citizens are renowned for their warm, welcoming hospitality and overwhelming eagerness to make you feel at home.
After you land in Chişinău International Airport, the first you see of Moldova is likely to be its capital city, Chişinău (pronounced kish-i-now in Moldovan or kish-i nyov in Russian), situated in the heart of the country. In stark contrast to the humble pleasures that most of Moldova has to offer, this vibrant and strikingly wealthy city seems worlds apart from the rest of the country. With a refreshingly Slavic attitude to living life for the moment, and letting one's hair down, you'll be sure to enjoy the attractions this funky city has to offer. In the daytime, you might find yourself wandering around some of Chişinău's elegant boutiques, dining in some of its fancy restaurants, or simply taking in the eccentric, colourful atmosphere. If you are a fan of nightlife, you might want to stick around – Chişinău never sleeps!
Whilst Chişinău is a great base, due to its location in the centre of this small, gracious nation, don't miss the opportunity to explore the wider attractions of Moldova, including emerald forests, rambling pastures, stunning landscapes, and ancient monasteries. Also, be sure to take advantage of the fact that this charming country has a thriving wine industry. Explore some of its vast, rambling vineyards, and historic, traditional wineries, and of course, taste some of the delectable wines that are being produced before your very eyes.

I can-with my plan-these are Social Security Administration numbers, they ran my numbers-get us to full solvency within 75 years and beyond for less than the $3.7 trillion debt that we're already in.Chuck Hagel
"Charles Timothy "Chuck" Hagel" is an American politician who is the 24th United States Secretary of Defense. He served as United States Senate/United States Senator from Nebraska from 1997 to 2009. On November 24, 2014, the White House announced that Hagel had tendered his resignation from his position as Secretary of Defense, effective as soon as the Senate confirms his replacement. Hagel did not refute rumors that Obama asked for his resignation, but he explicitly contends that it was a "mutual decision" between him and President Obama. Senator John McCain offered his own insight: Hagel was frustrated with the White House decision-making process, national security policy, and "excessive micromanagement" within the White House. On December 5, 2014, President Barack Obama nominated Ashton Carter as Hagel's replacement, pending confirmation by the Senate.If you enjoy these quotes, be sure to check out other famous politicians!

Attorney-client privilege covers a lot at Chicago Board of Trade
Chicago Observer
You can't tell the lawyers without a scorecard at the Chicago Board of Trade. "I don't think your column is big enough," warns one director. Forewarned, here's a stab at the lineup:
There is a lawyer for the board of directors; there is a lawyer for the chairman of the board of directors; there is a lawyer for a key committee of the board of directors; there is a lawyer for another key committee of the board of directors; there is a lawyer who is chasing leaks. And these are just the lead lawyers and don't include others on staff.
"The Board of Trade is either attorney-rich or attorney-poor because we have so many," says one executive. "Our legal fees are going to be staggering."
The flood tide of forensic advice is related to two realities: the Chicago Board of Trade's (CBT) restructuring effort and membership factions that are warring over that and other controversial topics. Emerging as a pivotal legal power is Edward T. Joyce, serving as Chairman David P. Brennan's personal attorney, specifically in recent negotiations to remove President Thomas R. Donovan.
Mr. Joyce's CBT-related work stems from counsel he provided to dissident members under a prior administration who now have the upper hand. He shares office space on LaSalle Street with attorney Peter B. Carey, a cousin of CBT First Vice-chairman and Brennan ally Charles P. Carey Jr. Mr. Joyce also is active in Democratic political circles and has been identified as the largest shareholder in 21st Century Telecom Group Inc., holder of a lucrative Chicago cable TV franchise.
Also on board some say at Mr. Joyce's direction is law firm Piper Marbury Rudnick & Wolfe, which is representing the CBT's Implementation Committee, charged with working out restructuring plans. Over at the Allocation Committee, which recommended which class of members would get what share of a newly public company, is law firm Winston & Strawn, headed by CBT director and former Gov. James R. Thompson.
Says Erroll R. Halperin, co-chair of Piper Marbury's business and technology group: "The Allocation and Implementation committees are both legally established subcommittees of the board of directors of the Chicago Board of Trade, and it's entirely normal and appropriate for such committees to have their own independent counsel to advise and consult with them."
Mr. Thompson also defends the legal patronage. "I think if a chairman wants counsel sitting at his side . . . it's all right," he says. "These are challenging times." As for the separate retention of Baker & McKenzie partner William Joseph Linklater to trace security breaches, Mr. Thompson adds: "The board has always suffered from leaks. . . . It is harmful to the board, and I think David got fed up with it."
Mr. Linklater, who is scheduled to become president of the Chicago Bar Assn. next month, declined to comment. "They think they're Perry Mason," suggests a CBT director who says he was interviewed by a junior Baker attorney and a former FBI agent. Mr. Thompson, a former prosecutor, was uncertain about potential charges. Brennan foes think it's merely an intimidation ploy.
All this might be leaving other lawyers, namely John Stassen at Kirkland & Ellis, the CBT board's traditional law firm, and CBT General Counsel Carol Burke, feeling a bit displaced. Newcomers no doubt will be angling for future opportunities, such as who gets the legal work for the CBT's proposed electronic-trading spinoff.
Dearborn redevelopment could get arrested
After word here about plans to demolish Victorian-era property for a luxury condo tower at Dearborn and Elm streets created a neighborhood stink, the city is moving to head off another. That could throw a wrench into what real estate sources say is interest by owners of Blake-Lamb Funeral Home to sell its Dearborn-Oak site to a high-rise redeveloper. Alderman Burton Natarus (42nd) is tossing a bone in that direction by recommending R-6 zoning, which would permit a 10-to-15-story replacement, compared to a roughly five-story cap for the rest of the corridor, including the mansion that houses Biggs Restaurant Inc. Under current zoning, says Mr. Natarus, a 30-to-40-story building could go on the funeral home parcel. The difference is worth millions.
Plenty of six-shooters around here, too
When Phil Gramm, the party-switching (to the GOP) U.S. senator with the immutable Texas twang, describes Democratic Chicago as his "favorite mega-city," it sounds like a qualified endorsement. But Loop-area residential development seems to truly impress him, more so now than when his "crazy" friend Bob Pritzker moved into a "renovated warehouse." During a recent Senate-related visit, Mr. Gramm exclaimed in Texas fashion: "Man, this is a boomtown."

Feeling trapped is not a pleasant feeling. Oppression comes from the inability to see the possibilities available to you. So being trapped ultimately is an illusion. But when you are in the middle of it, it sure feels real- and hopeless.
The first thing to understand is that the source of the oppression is inside of you. You could argue that clearly your job or boss is oppressing you. At one level this is true. But there is something inside of you that is allowing the job, coworker, boss, or ex- to oppress you. This thing is a mistaken belief about yourself in relation to the world. You acquired this belief from a past experience. I call this karma or unfinished business.
Orchestrating Your Weekend
It's Wednesday. Wake up. It's time to orchestrate your weekend. I know you are tired, but people are counting on you. Your significant other needs some romantic time. Your kids need to be exposed to new experiences. Your friend needs to meet for a cup of coffee or a beer- don't forget to call. And you need some time to develop that passion that you have been feeling. Some you time.
None of this stuff will happen if you don't focus. If you just let he weekend go any old way- it will be lost. Not that every aspect of it needs to be planned. There will be plenty of room for spontaneity. You just need to set the stage.
Are you willing to fail?
Several years ago, Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad and numerous books on financial intelligence, was on Oprah speaking about the power of starting your own business. One of the audience members indignantly challenged Robert saying, "What would you say about the fact that one out of ten businesses fail?" Robert said something like, "Well, then I guess I'm gonna have to start ten businesses."
Add to that my all-time favorite TV commercial (you got to check it out- YouTube link) with Michael Jordan saying, "I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed."
I watched a story on ABC's This Week Sunday morning where George Clooney is working with commercial satellites to expose human rights abuses in Sudan (link). It is called the Satellite Sentinel Project (link). He has found his true calling (we just thought it was acting). Also, you may have heard that Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are traveling around the world and urging billionaires to contribute half of their wealth to change the world. Many are doing it.
Well, few of us have the wealth, resources, and influence as those people- but our offering is no less profound or important. Clooney, Gates, and Buffet are doing what makes sense for them to do. There is something that makes sense for you to do. You have unique gifts that you are blessed with. You have skills that you have developed. You have

A wonderful example of a flexagon, is found in Vermont artist Carolyn Shattuck's The quilts of Gee's Bend, V.2. To be more precise, this is a flexagon book, a movable structure made up of 6 tetrahedons. This creates a kinetic structure that allows the user to manipulate and display the book in multiple, unexpected ways.
This is the second book Carolyn Shattuck created, that was inspired by the beautiful and unusual patterns found in quilts created in the rural African American community of Gee's Bend, Alabama. The unknown artists who created the original quilts developed unique designs that are exceptionally vibrant, and this handmade book, #8 in edition of 25, was designed by Shattuck as a tribute to the artists who designed the original quilts. It can be found in the Sherman Art Library Special Collection, call #N7433.4 S417 G34 2011.

I have all my passwords in my vault on iPhone 6 , it is currently syncing to my iCloud. I am planning to purchase a new iPhone 7 and planning to exchange my current iPhone for reduced price. So I have to reset my current iPhone and give it to store when buying the new one. So I am not sure once I factory reset my iphone 6 and buy the new iPhone 7. I do now know how to get back my 1password app and all accounts synced to icolud to my new iphone. If someone can give me exact steps for this scenario will be much appreciated.
I do not have an 1Password account. Appreciate any help quickly. Also do I need to purchase the app on the new iphone 7 as well ?
1Password Version: Not Provided
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Not Provided
Sync Type: Not Provided
Hi @vemi007! Thanks for reaching out to us, and congratulations on the new iPhone.
It sounds like you're on the right track, but to double-check, can you make sure that iCloud syncing within 1Password is all set up before you proceed with wiping your iPhone 6?
If needed, you can download 1Password from the App Store again. As long as you're signed in with the correct Apple ID, you'll be on the right track. Once you've downloaded 1Password on your iPhone, you will want to pick the option "Use without an account," then "Sync with iCloud" and follow the instructions from there.
To restore your Pro features, open 1Password and unlock your vault. Tap Settings > Pro features. Then tap Restore Purchase.
Please keep us in the loop, and let us know if any questions arise during the migration process.
Thanks much for the information. Yes, I am already setup. When I go to Settings -> Sync , I see the following as mentioned below;-
Primary iCloud >
Sync Now
I have synced it up a couple of times and also taken a backup as well. I will follow your steps and contact you if I have any questions. Thanks again.
Excellent, it sounds like iCloud syncing is indeed up-and-running. And again, congratulations! I'm only slightly jealous.
I am having a similar issue. I bought a new iPhone 7, but didn't sync my iPhone 6 vault with iCloud before starting to use the new phone. I got the app installed, but can't open it. I am a longtime user and do not recognize the Families and Teams version of the app. Where did all my data go? Help!!!! I don't have a 1Password account and can't login to the app. I was able to download the Mac version and see my account on my computer, but when I follow the steps above to sync with iCloud nothing happens after I select the "Sync with iCloud" button. Above you say to follow further instructions--for me nothing happens, no syncing.
I'm correctly logged in with my Apple ID on both devices.
Also, when I try to open without an account on my phone it tells me that no 1password data was found on iCloud.
I bought a new iPhone 7, but didn't sync my iPhone 6 vault with iCloud before starting to use the new phone. [...] Also, when I try to open without an account on my phone it tells me that no 1password data was found on iCloud.
@tracy_yates: if you didn't sync your 1Password data with iCloud previously, there won't be any data there for 1Password to retrieve. Were you using Dropbox sync before instead? Where do you have your 1Password data currently, on a computer, or the old iPhone? Please let me know!

.................leaving only the grin.
This is what is commonly known as a 'crisis of confidence', all artists get it at some time, I know of excellent beadwork designers who will not look at other beader's work because they will start to believe their own stuff is inferior and stop designing. The ideal place to be is in a niche where there are very few other artists - less competition, but also less mass appeal! 'Tis a quandary.
I will post pictures of 'Karen' when I get the Swarovski crystals to behave and stop pretending they're different colours when they are, in fact, just crystal.

I don't agree ! I would wear your creations in any occasion ! Your work is gorgeous, rich... you bead like a woman (and it is a real compliment, lol !)ReplyDelete
Peter - Your work is not office wear. But it's stunning, uncluttered and could be worn with any simple elegant dress to dinner, to the theater, to a party, a wedding, dancing. Need I go on?ReplyDelete
As the self-appointed "Plain Jane" of the group, I often envy your sense of proportion, balance and elegance of your pieces. They ARE wearable. You wouldn't have to be meeting the Queen. And remember what just sold of Ned's? That's not exactly blue jeans & sweatshirts material either. Patience. Courage.
Hmm. I'd wear any of your stuff every day. I like bling.ReplyDelete
Patience, courage - and lots of Cynthias!ReplyDelete
Peter, I think the clean lines of your designs make them incredibly wearable. I don't think you have to worry....plus when you only make one it only takes one person in the entire world to buy it :)ReplyDelete
Crisis of confidence is part of being an artist, show me a good artist and they'll be able to tell of their self doubt. Personally I don't really trust an artist who claims to not experience this...sort of like a skinny cook :)
We are our harshest critics. Peter, your work is pure joy.ReplyDelete
Well, I have to 2nd & 3rd what the others are saying, your work is incredibly wearable, you just have to know how to work it.ReplyDelete
And there is no such thing as "just a crystal," they rule our universe. Or at least the rule mine in 2nd place behind the toddler.

More Info... by email
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is a popular term that refers to the quality of air inside a building. Air quality inside of buildings has become increasingly important, since a buildings' inhabitants can suffer medical ailments as a result of poor air. Inadequate indoor air quality can be caused by a number of different things.
Radon is one of the biggest culprits of negative air quality. This odorless, colorless, and highly toxic gas is caused from the deterioration of radium. Radium can usually be found inside of a building's pipes, though it can also come from rocky ground beneath a building. Radon can cause lung cancer, and it kills thousands of people every year.
While radon can be easily detected by installing radon kits inside of buildings, building owners rarely check for this harmful gas. Radon can be eliminated by sealing concrete floors, increasing ventilation, and checking water draining systems. Aside from radon, mold and other types of allergens may contribute to bad indoor air quality.
Molds and allergens can be caused by many different things, though the most common causes are moisture induced mold, and animal or plant induced allergens. Mold can grow in high moisture areas with poor ventilation. Mold can grow inside of walls, or on the outside of any wall. In order to test for mold growth, a mold inspection should be administered by an independent inspection company.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) are another reason why many people suffer from poor indoor air quality. VOCs can come from a variety of sources including paint, wallpaper, cleaning supplies, building materials, furniture, and many other materials. These compounds are both colorless and odorless, though they will contribute to respiratory problems if they are present within a building.
The reasons for inadequate indoor air quality mentioned above are just some of the things that contribute to dangerous air. However, the only way that a building can be tested for air quality is through specific testing measures. If you suspect that a building you live or work in is contributing to your poor health, make sure to call professional indoor air quality testers.
It is not recommended that you allow a building owner to hire a professional. Instead, in order to avoid conflict of interest, call an independent expert. Once you have obtained testing results, you can contact a building owner in order to have a harmful gas, or other substance, removed.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Your shopping cart is empty!
Shawls have increasingly become a growing trend these days. For women, it is difficult to wear jackets over saree or gown in the evening parties. With the passing time, the shawl has also become a part of the day wear in winters. These are cosy and extremely comfortable attire and are available in vibrant colours and print. There are party wear shawls, party wear shawls and even corporate wear shawls.
Shawls come in many fabrics like alpaca, wool, pashmina and silk. Some carry handcrafted work while some are beautifully knitted. Shawls also come in furs like fox fur or rabbit fur. These fur shawls are pretty expensive but worth every penny. But it is not easy to identify a fur and differentiate a real fur from faux fur. Thus, you should always buy from a genuine and reputed store such as real fur store.
There are three possible ways in which you can style your attire with the real fur shawls. The first one is classic drape. It looks best with the collared jacket. The shawl snuggles comfortably under the collar and adds an oomph factor even to the minimalistic attire. You can drape it over both shoulders and stay warm.
• You can also sling it over to one shoulder. It is a good style for a little cold or if you are carrying the shawl in anticipation of temperature drop later during the event. It looks stylish, displaying your gown to its fullest and acting as an accessory to your attire.
• You can also pin the shawl to the side. It when you don't need a jacket but want to add a little glamour to your look. Drape the real fur shawl over your shoulder with one side longer than the other. Pick the edge of the shorter side from a little below your shoulder, bring it to meet the longer side and secure with a brooch. The look you can create with this is stunning and indeed very glamorous.
• Also, you can buckle up your shawl. Drape the shawl on one shoulder, the front shorter than the back. Pull both the ends together like a sash and secure them with a belt. The people have been going crazy over this style and be assured that the crowd will go gaga over your style as well.
While purchasing real fur shawls, it is necessary to Identify real furs for getting the right product. You must know the qualities of the fur. Like, the mink fur is short and flat and the pelts are long and narrow. The look of the mink is almost shiny and wet.
On the contrary, the fox fur is much longer when compared to any woodland creature. It is soft and its colour depends on the species of fox it has been extracted from ranging from beige, brown, blue, silver, white or red.
• The fur of a rabbit will feel like you have a cat in your hand. It makes you want to rub the garment made of it on your face. Its colour may vary, depending on the colour of the rabbit and moreover, it is also dyed. Angora is the most used fur shawl and very popular for its feel and look.
• The fur from beaver is dense and very warm. It has the tendency of retaining its look and hardly falls apart or shed. This is strongest, most hard wearing and warmest of all furs. It is easy to maintain and stays for a long time in your wardrobe.
• Raccoon fur feels a lot like the fox fur, longer and soft in touch. What makes it distinctly different from fox fur is its colour. It is easily identified due to its black tiger-esque stripes.
Now that you know how to identify the real fur, you can never go wrong with buying a fur shawl that will be your pride and envy for others. So you are always advised to shop from leading stores like real fur store and thus you will be staying warm with glamour in the party while others will shiver with the jealousy of your expensive and dreamy looking fur shawl. Enjoy the winter in the comfort of these shawls.

"I have reason to believe my client will be playing in the NBA Finals," lawyer Alex Spiro, representing Barnes, said in court in Manhattan on Friday, according to reports.
"Good luck," Judge Herbert Mosessaid, agreeing to the new date.
Barnes signed with the defending Western Conference champion Warriors this week in the wake of Kevin Durant's knee injury.
The 36-year-old forward faces third-degree assault charges, a misdemeanor, after police said he was involved in a Dec. 5 altercation at Avenue, a bar in Manhattan. Barnes also was charged with obstruction of breathing.
A related civil suit has been filed against Barnes and former teammate DeMarcus Cousins in a New York District Court by two plaintiffs, Jasmine Besiso and Myrone Powell. The lawsuit alleges that Barnes grabbed Besiso by her neck and began choking her at approximately 3 a.m. after a fight broke out in the VIP section of the club.
Cousins -- now with the New Orleans Pelicans -- is alleged to have punched Powell in the face after Powell had attempted to help Besiso, while Barnes is alleged to have elbowed Besiso in the face, knocking her unconscious.
Cousins was cleared of any criminal wrongdoing and will not face charges following an NYPD investigation that concluded last week.
Barnes and the Warriors play the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Sunday.

Once again, we're asking, Are you PREPARED?
With the cold weather upon us, we begin hearing news reports of people being affected by carbon monoxide. Firefighters and EMS personnel agree: as temperatures drop, carbon monoxide poisonings go up. Tragically, about 430 Americans die every year from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning.
The National Center for Environmental Health's Division of Environmental Hazards and Health Effects recommends that homeowners have their heating system, water heater and any other oil, gas or coal-burning appliances serviced by a qualified technician every year. Fire officials urge homeowners and renters install at least one battery-operated carbon monoxide detector in their home. Batteries should be checked or replaced annually. New Year's Day (for Arizonans) or Daylight Saving Time Eve (for everyone else) is a great time to do this.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include: a dull throbbing headache, nausea or vomiting, chest pain, confusion, convulsions, dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, hyperactivity, impaired judgment, irritability, loss of consciousness, low blood pressure, muscle weakness and shortness of breath. Seek immediate medical attention if you suspect carbon monoxide poisoning. Also, get everyone outside into the fresh air and away from any suspected source of carbon monoxide (i.e., a running vehicle).
If you haven't had a chance to get your heating system serviced, why not make it a New Year's resolution? Goettl's wants you to be free of worry about your home or business, so you can spend many more New Years with family and friends.
Wishing the very best to each of you in 2019,

Finding the Best Influence: Should You Hire a DUI Defense Attorney?
Each year, more than 1.1 million drivers are arrested for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. However, experts believe that this number is only a fraction of the nearly 30 million people who likely drive under the influence without getting caught.
While driving under the influence is never acceptable, if you are arrested for a DUI, you do have the right to fight your charges.
If you want a chance at fighting them successfully to either have your charges dropped or reduced or your punishment lessened, you need help.
Keep reading to learn a few circumstances when it's absolutely necessary to seek the help of a DUI defense attorney to fight back against your DUI charges.
This Isn't Your First DUI Arrest
Seeing police lights in your rearview mirror after having a few drinks will cause anyone's stomach to turn. But when you already have a DUI on your record, that sight is even worse.
In most states, the penalty for a second or third DUI is far harsher than the penalty you received for your first.
A first DUI is often a misdemeanor. You will likely face probation as well as fines, and have a DUI on your record. Depending on the state that you are arrested in and the circumstances of your arrest, you may also face some jail time.
But if you have had a DUI on your record in the last 10 years, your second DUI will carry much harsher consequences.
You'll still have to pay a fine. You'll face probation and a license suspension as you did with your first DUI, though both periods will likely be much longer.
The biggest difference between a first and second DUI charge is that the second carries mandatory jail time.
If you have been arrested for a second DUI, you need to hire a DUI criminal attorney right away. If there is any chance of reducing your charges, you'll need a DUI defense lawyer to help you find it.
After your second arrest for a DUI, you also might want to reevaluate how you're coping with your addiction to drugs or alcohol. It may be time to check yourself into rehab to make a change in your life and avoid a third DUI charge in your future.
You Aren't Guilty
While rare, it is possible to be accused of a DUI when you really weren't driving drunk.
Perhaps the officer mis-performed the sobriety tests. Or you refused to take the tests for one reason or another, but weren't drinking that night.
Or maybe you did take a breathalyzer test and you were on the line between the legal limit and being over, and you feel you should not have been charged. There is a margin of error, especially involving breathalyzer tests performed in the field.
Whatever the case, if you're convinced that you are not guilty and are being falsely accused, you'll definitely need a lawyer's help to fight your charges.
Trying to figure out how to fight a DUI without a lawyer is never a good idea. The legal process is incredibly complicated, especially when it comes to DUI charges.
If you want the best possible chance of fighting your charges and avoiding a DUI on your record, you'll want a DUI lawyer's help.
You Feel the Arresting Officer Didn't Follow Protocol
Whether you are truly guilty of driving under the influence or not, there are specific protocols that have to be followed while making an arrest.
Sometimes those protocols aren't followed. Maybe the officer was overly aggressive towards you. Or you don't feel that the sobriety tests were performed correctly or interpreted fairly.
If you feel that the arresting officer or other officers at the scene did something wrong, you'll need to be able to prove it in court.
Unless the offense is obvious, you may be uncertain about whether or not the procedures were properly performed, especially if this is your first DUI charge.
A DUI lawyer will listen to your story and help you determine whether the officer or officers acted inappropriately. If they determine that you were right and something was off, they'll help you compile a case to present in court.
Navigating this process requires advanced knowledge of the law, as well as experience presenting evidence to a judge. Trying to go it alone is likely only going to get your complaints dismissed.
You Caused a Serious Accident
Every day in the U.S., 29 people die as a result of auto accidents involving an alcohol-impaired driver.
If you drink and drive and cause an accident, you'll be facing far more serious charges than you would with a DUI that doesn't lead to an accident. While the charges will be more severe if a death occurs, an accident that causes only injuries and property damage will still lead to harsher penalties.
If the accident leads to a death or a serious injury, you could be facing spending the rest of your life in prison for vehicular manslaughter.
As soon as you are able to, seek out the help of an experienced DUI lawyer. They'll help you navigate the legal process to see what can be done to lessen your charges.
Don't hire just any lawyer. An attorney with experience fighting DUI charges, like The Benari Law Group, will give you the best chance of reducing your penalties.
Your Livelihood Depends on Your Ability to Drive
Losing your license and facing probation is a major obstacle for anyone.
If you're lucky, the consequences at your workplace won't be much worse than failing a drug test and facing counseling or probation.
Depending on your career, you could face the loss of your job or have trouble getting a job if you're unemployed.
Unless you get driving rights to get you to and from work, you'll be at the mercy of your friends or family or public transportation to get you where you need to go.
But if you drive for a living, losing your license is much more serious. Whether you're a bus driver or hold your CDL, a DUI will not only likely mean losing your job, but will also make it impossible to get another job in your field. You'll lose your CDL, and never be eligible to get another.
The only way to prevent this is to get your charges reduced from DUI to reckless driving or another charge. You could try to fight your charges on your own to get them reduced. But if you aren't familiar with DUI law and the legal process, your chances of success are low.
Don't risk your future and your career any more than you already have. Let an experienced DUI lawyer decide how to fight your charges and whether or not you have any chance of avoiding getting a DUI on your record.
When You Don't Need to Hire a DUI Lawyer
If you know you aren't guilty, feel your arrest was mishandled, or think that there is a chance your charges could get reduced, you'll want a DUI attorney's help.
But not every DUI charge requires a lawyer.
Lawyers are expensive. When you're already facing fees for your DUI, adding in the cost of a lawyer may put you into debt or be completely unattainable.
If you can't afford a lawyer or choose not to hire your own, you'll be assigned a public defender. While you won't get the same specialized care and professional help of an experienced DUI attorney, you'll at least have some help navigating the legal process.
In some cases, though, a public defender might be the better choice.
If this is your first DUI, and you have no other serious charges on your record, you may not need a lawyer. If you weren't far over the legal limit, didn't put anyone in danger, and won't lose your job if you get a DUI, you'll be better off saving your money and facing your charges.
Another instance when you don't need to bother hiring a DUI lawyer is if you know that there's no chance of beating your charges.
If you're arrested and are far over the legal limit and all tests are performed appropriately, there's little chance you'll escape a DUI charge.
Finding a DUI Defense Attorney
Whether you're charged with a DUI or your DUI defense attorney is able to get your charges reduced, being accused of drunk driving can change your life.
You may face jail time and probation. You'll lose your license, either temporarily or permanently if it isn't your first offense.
You could lose your job or face changes in your personal life.
How you handle these changes will determine what your future is like. If your drunk driving incident has inspired you to make changes, rehab may be in your future.

The bodies of a man and his wife, both in their 60s, were found in their house in Nagoya on Friday, police said, adding that it appeared they had been dead for at least 10 days.
According to police, Tatsuji Yonehara, 68, and his wife Takako, 66, were both stabbed to death, Fuji TV reported.
Yonehara worked as a courier. One of his co-workers went to a koban (police box) on March 13 and said he had not been able to contact Yonehara.
Police and a ward official went to the house in Minato Ward at around 5:30 p.m. Friday and found the couple, in their pajamas, dead in their bedroom. The front door to the house and the windows were locked.
Police said they are also looking for the couple's son, who is in his 30s. His whereabouts are unknown.
Police did not say why they waited until Friday to check on the Yoneharas.© Japan Today

A redefinition of burnout as a depressive condition is called for so that the harmful effects of unresolvable job stress can be more accurately and comprehensively assessed. As research compellingly suggests, reducing the harmful effects of unresolvable job stress to the experience of burnout's dimensions of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment is mistaken in that it denies the depressive core of the syndrome referred to as "burnout." Replacing the notion of burnout by the concept of job-induced depression would help us be more effective in the management of occupational adversity.

Jamie Fristrom, Founder of the newly formed Happion Laboratories, announced that the independently developed Energy Hook will make its way onto PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4 in 2014. The revelation comes a post on the Official PlayStation Blog by Fristrom himself, who is perhaps best known for his work on the critically acclaimed Spider-Man 2 video game.
Energy Hook is clearly inspired by the Fristrom's time with the web crawler, but the game also mixes in "points-for-style" elements that are perhaps more synonymous with titles based off of action sports.
"You swing from rooftop to rooftop, pull off mid-air tricks, run along walls, and rack up points and energy for doing it. Because: it's the future. And that's what the extreme sports of the future look like. You have gravity beams and gravity boots and jetpacks and can do awesome stuff."
Moreover it seems that the developer is genuinely excited to be bringing Energy Hook onto PlayStation Platforms, and particularly PlayStation Vita.
"PS Vita is my favorite handheld. There's no handheld like it – nothing else comes with dual sticks, and Energy Hook wants those dual sticks! It's a very expressive game that wants precision controls. A touchscreen is not enough. So while casual gamers are playing Candy Crush on their phones, we can play Energy Hook on PS Vita. I daresay it's going to be the first time a decent 3D swinging game graces handheld, ever."
Energy Hook will release with exclusive-priority on PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4 sometime in 2014.

Despite griping about how much they are paid compared to their Kiwi counterparts, Fonterra's Australian dairy farmers have been queuing up to supply it with their milk.
The amount of milk Fonterra Australia has collected from farmers has risen by 400 million litres to two billion litres last season.
But they say they are sick of being paid less than New Zealand farmers for the third year in a row.
For the 2016-17 season they received NZ$5.65 per kilogram of milksolids, compared to $6.12 paid to New Zealand farmers. In 2017-18 the Australians were paid $6.19 compared to $6.75.
Fonterra's opening forecast for Kiwi farmers for the 2018-19 season is $7, whereas Australian farmers have been told the maximum they might receive is $6.78, although the price might go as low as $6.40.
As members of a co-operative, New Zealand farmers also receive dividends which in the last two years have been an additional 40c and 20c per kg respectively.
Farmer Power executive officer Garry Kerr said Australian farmers were being "screwed over" and next week were launching a campaign to raise public awareness of their plight.
Australians were still smarting over comments made by Fonterra chief executive Theo Spierings two years ago when he told New Zealand farmers "what we are doing is drive every cent of money which we can out of Australia back to New Zealand shareholders in this extremely low milk price environment."
That year it revised its payments to Australian farmers for the 2015-16 season from $5.75 to $5 per kilogram of milksolids. In order to make an average payout price of $5 for the whole season, it reduced its payout to $1.91 for the last two months.
It then offered farmers the option of taking out a loan at an interest rate of 3.75 per cent.
That treatment contrasts with the interest-free loans worth $383 million Fonterra offered to its Kiwi farmers in order to smooth the impact of low global milk prices, which went from a high of $8.40kg/MS in 2013-14 to $3.90 in 2015-16. About 76 per cent took up the offer.
Kerr said part of the reason farmers were increasing supply to Fonterra was related to the turmoil in the Australian dairy industry.
Rival co-operative Murray Goulburn (MG), previously the largest processor, has now been sold to Canadian company Saputo after a troubled financial history. Fonterra's offer for the co-op was spurned.
A Fonterra Australia spokesman said Australian farmers were paid less because their payout was related to cheese. Most of their milk is converted into cheese, which has been a relatively stable priced commodity.
"The New Zealand price is based on a five commodity model and is driven by global dairy trade auction – predominantly whole milk powder – pricing, which means that prices move both up and down much faster than in Australia. In comparison, Australia sells next to no product on GDT."
"It's also worth noting that while Australia doesn't experience New Zealand's extreme highs such as $NZ8.40, it doesn't have extreme lows like $NZ3.90 either," the spokesman said.
Another factor in Australian farmers receiving lower prices is the supermarket discounting wars, with the stores drastically reducing milk and cheese prices to entice shoppers in to buy more expensive items.
The Fonterra spokesman said the $7 price for the 2018-19 season was a forecast, which could change according to the market.
Fonterra's Australia operations have recently turned around as it invests in sites in Victoria and Tasmania – for example, an expansion of its Stanhope cheese factory in northern Victoria, almost doubling its size.

The Librarian Mom blog on Scholastic's website features a series of Dewey Decimal-themed knock-knock jokes. The first humorously treats the placement of comics and graphic novels within that system while mentioning the Little Lit series of books:
Knock knock!
Who's there?
Wire who?
Why're the comic books in 741.5 when they're not even NONFICTION? Huh?
Comic books are in 741.5, right next to the books about drawing, because the 740's are the section for art books. That's where you'll find Little Lit: Folklore and Fairy Tale Funnies, edited by Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly, which provides a sampling of traditional tales retold in comic-book form by a jaw-dropping array of illustrators and graphic artists. Fun for kids, teens, and adults, who might recognize some of the artists from underground comic books or the covers of The New Yorker magazine.

Tip #6: Adrenaline is often seen as the anxious person's hubris. In fact, it could save your life one day.
The Why: Adrenaline is the chemical that causes your heart to begin racing, the tightness in your chest, the sweaty palms, the panic attack. These symptoms alas, are also the symptoms of a heart attack. Many people who have anxiety believe that they are suffering from the latter, which of course causes vast amounts of distress. You believe you're dying, which fuels the panic even further, which exacerbates the symptoms, which makes you believe you're dying ad infinitum.
However, one thing to know if you're in the midst of a panic attack, and you think your heart is about to beat out of your chest, is that the adrenaline causing your symptoms, unless you have a pre-existing heart-condition, is not going to cause a heart attack. It's for your survival. Adrenaline is in fact given to patients suffering from a heart attack to revive them.
So, although adrenaline may currently be causing you pain, it won't harm you during a panic attack, no matter how real or awful it feels.

Bowdleflode Testimonials
Portsmouth High Prep School
February 2020
Testimonial for the Bowdleflode Project
Dear Mike
Here we go, just a brief one.
The children had a great time completing the Bowdleflodes project and it was a very successful addition to our curriculum. They explored their creatures through art lessons but found themselves immersed in so much more. Through their research into habitats and a variety of real world animal they gained an understanding of how endangered species face challenges throughout the world. A wonderful opportunity and one that was thoroughly enjoyed. This will be part of our year from now on.
Paul Marshallsay, Headmaster, Portsmouth High Prep School
November 2019
Testimonial for the Bowdleflode Project
"Our Arts Award Explore group of year 5/6 children took part in the Bowdleflodes project earlier this year and produced some super imaginative work.
The fact that they gave their creature a name and characteristics really appealed to them, as did having their own page on the website.
The Bowdleflodes Project linked directly with their Arts Award Explore (Part A Inspire) which in turn links to our Artsmark application statement of commitment.
This year's Arts Award group will be working on their own Bowdleflodes in the Spring Term and our year 1/2 class will link it into their class theme of 'All Creatures Great and Small' in the Summer Term.
Taking part in the project and visiting Neil, a local author and artist and the founder of The Bowdleflode Project, have definitely been inspirational for the children and useful forms of evidence for both Arts Award and Artsmark."
Sue Hawkins, Arts Leader, Funtington Primary School
Katie Hoebee is the head teacher at Crofton Anne Dale Junior who were one of the first schools to take part in the Bowdleflodes Wildlife Project in 2018. The school repeated the project in 2019 and this is what she has to say about it.
February 2019
Testimonial for the Bowdleflode Project
The Bowdleflodes project has proven to be a great success within my class. It has inspired their imagination and creativity and has been an enjoyable experience for all children. It has allowed for cross-curricular work as the children researched endangered species and broadened their understanding of what the term actually means. They then used this to support their designs.
The whole process from start to finish was straight forward and there was always support available via email if I had any questions or queries. I would highly recommend that other schools participated in this project as the satisfaction the children had to see their designs published online was a delight.
Liz Woodward
Teacher – Class 4
St HELEN'S SCHOOL, NORTHWOOD
The Bowdleflodes Project has proven itself to be a really powerful educational tool that young artists, of all abilities, readily engage with. It is a playful and imaginative way to sharpen creative thinking, ideation and literacy skills, through active and reflective learning.
It is also a highly accessible catalyst for cross-curricular expansion because the central idea reaches out to Natural Sciences and touches on the ethical questions of animal conservation and habitat protection.
My students loved the books and the delightful illustrations, and they learned much about the relationship between author and illustrator; something that, perhaps, they had not realised before when looking at children's books.
I would strongly recommend all Arts faculties to integrate this programme into their curriculum.

Testimonial for the Bowdleflode Project
We were thrilled to be one of the first schools to take part in the Bowdleflodes project. The concept of the Bowdleflode Zoo allowed us to make meaningful links between art and science and gave the children a real purpose for their learning about classification, while raising the profile of endangered species. By asking the children to create their own unique animal, we could assess their scientific understanding in an exciting and creative way. The children were truly inspired once they knew their designs were going to be published online; it really added an extra dimension to the task they were given and we were thrilled with the quality of the children's work. Being able to order items printed with their design will take it to the next level!! We can't wait for our next group of Year 6 children to take part in the project and to see more of their imaginative creations enter the Bowdleflode Zoo.
Mrs K Hoebee
Head of School
Hi Neil,
I really loved hearing about your brilliant children's project – the story, the art and the entire concept are all so engaging, creative and fun.
Here are the poems I mentioned to you earlier. Thank you for asking me to send them.
Thanks again,

August 2018
Email from The Head of Art – WOOLSTON BROOK SCHOOL, CHESHIRE
"Hi Neil
Hope you are well,
I have just put the children's artwork from my school in the post to you for the online Bowdleflode Zoo.
The Bowdleflodes book you kindly donated was really well received by our primary children and they loved the story and thought Lauren's colourful illustrations were really great.
Our children then researched the internet for ideas and I'm sure you'll agree they have come up with some unique creatures.
Because many of our children may have low self-esteem, anxiety and problems when socialising with other children; it means that they seldom venture outside when at home. Therefore, I'm particularly delighted with what they have achieved!
Thanks again for the great opportunity to be part of something that's got such a wonderful message and to get our children thinking about wildlife and nature.
I am a true advocate of the importance of art in education and getting children to experience the great outdoors and to love and respect it's frailty.
I wish you every success with the future Bowdleflodes books and if I can help in any way, please don't hesitate to drop me a line. All the best."
Wilfred Woods Head of Art.

One click saves 50 % cost of sensors for Valensina About Company name: Autosen Gmbh Brands: Online sales and trading in sensor technology Headquarters: Essen, Germany Products: inductive proximity switches and photoelectric sensors on the actual needs of the industry Every day, up to 500,000 litres of high quality fruit juice can be filled on five lines in the Valensina's Mönchengladbach plant. As a supplier to the major trade chains, the Valensina group has largely automated its production site in the headquarters, to meet the high requirements on freshness and delivery times. The required sensors are purchased via the internet which reduces costs and simplifies logistics. When one of your major sales points are the food retailers, availability and visibility of the products is extremely important for your brand and you just cannot afford a plant downtime. The logistics chain in fruit juice production, expanding from harvesting, squeezing, packaging up to the sales counter, is tightly timed. To guarantee optimal freshness and the maximum best before date, Valensina's juice packages usually go directly from Mönchengladbach- Giesenkirchen to the refrigerators in the stores, without any delays and within 24 hours of the order receipt. A small buffer stock in the neighbouring town Korschenbroich is used to meet peaks in production and demand. The goal is to reduce delivery times to ensure maximum freshness. Every day, up to 500,000 litres of high-quality fruit juice can be filled on five lines in the plant in Mönchengladbach. The juice, which is freshly squeezed three times a week, is mainly exported to Europe, whereas the direct fruit juice, filled daily and cooled, goes mostly to the German supermarkets. The especially careful pasteurisation and permanent cooling of the juice ensures a fresh taste experience. Hygiene is the highest priority in all production processes, also because it is important for the best before date. In addition to two conventional filling lines, they also operate three sterile ultra-clean lines. High hygienic requirements Due to the high hygienic requirements the sensors installed in the plant are put to the test. Juice production on the ultra-clean systems starts from Sunday evening to Wednesday morning without interruption. Then the installations are cleaned by means of chlorinated cleaning agents and foam nozzles, at an operating pressure of 25 bar. The conventional installations are cleaned daily. This AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGIES 4/2015
SENSORS AND MEASUREMENT means that the inductive and photoelectric sensors that are developed to detect and transmit information reliably and precisely, are exposed to chemicals and moisture unfavourable conditions for the devices. Wear and tear in sensor technology For the harsh and wet production environment, sensors with a high protection rating and special equipment for the food industry are chosen. Devices such as the AO001 diffuse reflection sensor from the supplier autosen featuring a flush front lens made of resistant and shatterproof plastic for residue-free cleaning, stainless steel housing with the protection rating IP68 / IP 69K and double seals. The robust design reduces the risk of defects, nevertheless they cannot be entirely excluded. "To reduce downtime to a minimum in production processes, sensors must be easily replaceable if need be", says Ernst Peter Froitzheim, technical leader of the FSP Frischsaft Frische Produktions GmbH, operator of the production installations at Valensina's facility. The foreman is increasingly using Autosen products which he can order online 24/7 and that make a spare parts stock almost redundant. "Significantly easier and faster than via the wholesaler", says Froitzheim who also has to keep economic efficiency in mind. He estimates the savings to about half of the usual price, thanks to switching over to Autosen who dispenses with the conventional sales tools, commissions and passes the cost advantages on to the customers. So far, Froitzheim has replaced about 15 percent of the sensors, each including connector and cable. Autosen positioned itself as a quality supplier at the interface between manufacturer and user. Under its own label the company offers a range of thoroughly selected and tested inductive as well as photoelectric sensors of established suppliers. A routine test is carried out on all sensors before being dispatched. Only those who meet the quality requirements will get the Autosen quality seal and will be distributed under the Autosen label – on notably better terms. potentials were created through automation. The manually operated butterfly valves were replaced by automatic two-way ones through which the juice and the cleaning agent run separately from each other without mixing. All plant states are permanently detected and monitored, all operations are automatically controlled and documented. For each of these processes step sensors are required. Froitzheim estimates that they use hundreds of sensors in their plants, about 70 to 80 % in standard applications such as the packaging and picking area. Here, simple devices with plastic housings are used that have the same functions like their more robust counterparts, but are economically even more efficient. Also in this area, Valensina plans to switch over to Autosen. In conclusion, the logistic and financial costs for the sensors are considerably reduced thanks to the online procurement. With significant savings of up to 50 % per sensor and several hundred devices used daily, Valensina can achieve considerable cost advantages without having to make concessions with regard to the sensors' lifetime. Moreover, in the medium-term the spare parts stock can be reduced so that less capital is tied up. The procurement process is simple and requires no specialist knowledge thanks to its intuitive handling. Moreover, "compatibility is fully guaranteed" says the technical leader who has now even equipped the highlight of the production – an Italian ultra-clean filling line put into operation in 2014 – with green glimmering sensors from Autosen. Photographs: Autosen GmbH, Valensina GmbH www.autosen.com Optimisation through automation In the past decades Valensina has increasingly invested in the production installations, and in 2004 the production was completely switched over to fully automated operation which led to a considerable increase in the economic efficiency.

A number of companies specialised in coding and programming introduced AlpineBits to the world in November 2011. It is a free and open interface for the exchange of data on tourism. What is so innovative about this project is how competing companies have collaborated to find a common solution for the benefit of their clients.
How does the project work?
It all boils down to finding a common language different systems can communicate in. Once this is achieved, they can maximise their untapped potential. Room availability is one good example. Traditional methods dictate that staff interact with data, often resulting in a cumbersome, fallacious and costly process; in this case, data are exchanged automatically. Any interested party may integrate this interface into their system, thanks to the open and free nature of interface documentation, without waiting for an authorisation and absolutely license-free. An unprecedented situation in South Tyrol.
What does the future hold?
AlpineBits and its compatible systems take a weight off the chest of hotels, relieving the effort needed to manage data. This also results in cutting costs and saving time. It is of the utmost importance that big players in the field, such as Google or Booking.com, do not gobble up the small players, which are to all effects the beating heart of the South Tyrolean network. Hence, the ever-growing importance of a platform like AlpineBits, which allows different platforms to synch and collaborate. In the future, South Tyrolean hotels should be able to count on an attractive offer such as this.
Who is working behind the scenes?
Members include Altea Software Srl, ASA OHG, Brandnamic GmbH, GardenaNet snc, Geo Marketing GmbH (Sentres), HGV Service Genossenschaft, Internet Consulting GmbH, LTS – Landesverband der Tourismusorganisationen Südtirol (Association of the Tourism Bodies in South Tyrol), Marketing Factory GmbH, PCS Hotelsoftware GmbH, Peer GmbH, SiMedia GmbH. Christian Peer, Reinhold Sieder and Michael Oberhofer chair the Board of Directors.
Who is it meant for?
AlpineBits is an extremely technical and abstract project. The open interface was mainly designed for all those companies offering their services online. The interface's aim is that of structuring the companies' platforms and systems into a more pleasing layout and saving hoteliers time when managing data.

Chilean court: Private health facilities can't be forced to do abortions
December 17, 2018 CNA Daily News News Briefs 0 Print
Santiago, Chile, Dec 17, 2018 / 10:53 am (ACI Prensa).- A Chilean court has ruled that private healthcare facilities may conscientiously object to abortions, declaring unconstitutional a law that had gone into effect in October.
By a vote of 8-2, the nation's Constitutional Court struck down a portion of the Regulation on Conscientious Objection of the Law on Abortion. The court accepted a Dec. 6 appeal filed by senators of the Chile Vamos coalition which sought to annul part of the Department of Health regulation.
