New Line-Up for Hydrographic Committee
- Business & Finance
NOAA administrator Kathryn Sullivan, Ph.D., has appointed six members to the Hydrographic Services Review Panel, a federal advisory committee that gives NOAA independent advice for improving a range of services and products that support navigation and coastal resilience.
"Providing coastal communities, boaters, and the commercial maritime industry with timely, reliable, accurate, and authoritative information is essential as we strive to keep commerce flowing through our nation's ports," said Sullivan. "The Hydrographic Services Review Panel provides NOAA with essential expertise on commercial maritime needs and hydrographic data that is tremendously valuable to us as we work to build resilient communities and businesses along our nation's coasts."
New members of the panel are:
– Larry Atkinson, Ph.D., Slover professor of oceanography, Climate Change and Sea Level Rise Initiative, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia;
– David Maune, Ph.D., senior project manager, Dewberry Consultants, Fairfax, Virginia;
– Capt. Salvatore Rassello, director of nautical operations, Carnival Cruise Lines, Miami, Florida.
The reappointed members of the panel are:
– Carol Lockhart, Geomatics Data Solutions LLC, San Diego, California;
– Joyce Miller, director of seafloor data services, Hawaii Mapping Research Group, University of Hawaii School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology, Honolulu, Hawaii;
– Susan Shingledecker, vice president and director of environmental programs, BoatUS Foundation, Alexandria, Virginia.
The new members will join the panel at their next public meeting from April 8-10 in Long Beach, California, where they will focus on NOAA's progress in improving data delivery to support precision navigation at the Port of Long Beach, and improving nautical charts for Arctic maritime traffic.

Ontario Court of Appeal: Expert evidence required in professional negligence claims
Unless a motion is brought at an early stage or it is obvious that the professional's conduct fell short of the standard of care, a court will require expert evidence to rule in the plaintiff's favour, the Ontario Court of Appeal has held.
In McPeake v. Cadesky & Associates, the appellant decided to sell his company. To minimize taxable capital gains, he created family trusts to which the company shares were conveyed. The company was sold, and the trust received approximately $4.8 million. The proceeds were paid to the beneficiaries who reported the capital gains on their respective tax returns.
To minimize taxable capital gains, he created family trusts
The CRA audited the appellant Barry McPeake and took the position that he was a beneficiary of the family trust and could unilaterally control distributions from the trust as trustee (since the CRA believed s. 75(2) of the Income Tax Act, an anti-avoidance provision, applied). The CRA attributed all the gains in the family trust to the appellant personally and reassessed him for $2.4 million in taxes, interest and penalties.
But the Federal Court of Appeal later ruled in a separate case that the CRA's interpretation of s. 75(2) was incorrect. The appellant's tax liability was ultimately reduced to $57,000. He subsequently claimed damages from the respondents: a) a lawyer who had acted for the company; and b) an accounting firm that had provided accounting services to the appellant's company, trust, and him personally.
Who is professionnally liable for a fiscal failure?
The motion judge dismissed the appellant's claim against the lawyer, finding that there was no support for the allegation that the lawyer was retained to advise or prepare for the family trust.
The judge found a genuine issue for trial as to whether the accounting firm was retained to help form the family trust. Using her fact-finding powers, she concluded it had not, nor had it given advice on the matter. The firm was retained only after the family trust was established.
The appellant also argued that the firm was retained on an ongoing basis to provide accounting and tax advice to both him and the family trust in the years after its formation. The judge noted that neither the appellant nor the accounting firm filed expert evidence regarding an accountant's standard of care in the circumstances. There was consequently no genuine issue for trial as she concluded that it was well-established that a plaintiff is required to lead expert evidence establishing a breach of the standard of care to support a claim for professional negligence.
The appeal was dismissed on a number of grounds. The appellant led no argument on how the motion judge erred in her finding that the lawyer did not advise or prepare for the family trust. The court agreed with the judge's assessment.
The appellant submitted that a plaintiff does not need to file expert evidence to support a professional negligence claim when defending a summary judgment motion, particularly when the moving party hasn't filed any. The appellant relied on the 2012 decision Connerty v. Coles, where the Superior Court found that the need for expert opinions in summary judgment motions should be understood as a product of the particular factual circumstances in each case. As the Connerty case had been brought at an early stage, the lack of expert evidence was not held against the parties. The appeal court distinguished Connerty, finding that this case was not brought at an early stage of the proceedings, and that the motion judge had considered extensive evidence and was able to develop a full appreciation of the facts. Once again, the judge had not erred in her decision.
The appellant also submitted that his case fell under the exception to the expert evidence requirement because it was apparent that the professional's conduct fell short of the standard of care. The court found that the circumstances required evidence of the parameters of the standard of care. There was no basis to interfere with the motion judge's discretion to decline to resort to the exception to the general rule.
Finally, the appellant argued that he had filed adequate expert evidence; he had referred to a case demonstrating the widespread reliance by tax advisers on the CRA's erroneous interpretation of s. 75(2) of the ITA at the relevant time. The appeal court decided that the reference to this decision was not adequate and found that there was no expert evidence on the standard of care before the motion judge.
The takeaway from the ruling by the Court of Appeal is that parties seeking to establish professional negligence in summary judgment motions would be wise to retain expert evidence to support their argument.

I am so glad that my normal blogging day occurred so quickly after returning home from the conference!
I had the opportunity to attend the DiabetesSisters (www.diabetessisters.org) Weekend for Women Conference in Washington, DC (Embassy Suites, Alexandria, VA) this past weekend for the first time! I am so glad that I did! Not only did I make new friends, but I learned things that I never knew before (even though I've had Type 1 Diabetes for 21+ years). The most important part of the weekend, however, was being in a room surrounded by other diabetics and not be afraid to cry when a topic touches you emotionally, being able to test your blood sugar right there in the wide open without people giving you "the look" of oh-my-God-what-is-she-doing horror, remembering the sound of my insulin pump as others' were beeping, etc. It was great to not be alone! Sickness, low blood sugars, high blood sugars, eating whatever we wanted and not having anyone ask, "Should you be eating that?" were all shared together with our own support system. I want to especially thank Brandy Barnes, the Founder and CEO of DiabetesSisters for forming such an AMAZING organization. Words cannot express how much I have learned from your organization, this conference, and the PODS Meetups I've attended! I also want to thank Anna Norton, Operations Manager, for all of your hard work and answering my numerous questions in preparation for, and at, the conference! You ladies are amazing and I can never thank you both enough! My life has been changed and I can't wait to attend another conference in the future!
Here are some pictures of Old Town Alexandria, VA, Washington, DC, Embassy Suites, and of course, My DiabetesSisters:

We have a growing client base located in South Carolina – architects, contractors and homeowners looking for authentic cobblestone for their walkway or driveway paving material. Curious whether or not original old cobblestone streets are a readily found in the area, I sought more information.
A quick search led me to Explore Charleston, a helpful website for visitors, along with a blog and photos from a local, Shady Home Journal which has images and information about authentic streets in Charleston.
The photo below was taken on North Atlantic Wharf Street. She believes these are not what one would consider a 'true cobblestone', but more probably old stones used as ballast in the ships from England of which would have been discarded upon arrival in Charleston to load the ships with cargo for the return voyage to England. The frugal Charlestonians at the time 're-purposed' these ballast stones into streets, which made for a smoother ride.
Indeed the word cobblestone comes from the blending of two words, cob and stone and originally referred to rounded river rocks used for street paving in very early times. Rounded cobbles were not however, wheel or foot friendly, so eventually street paving evolved from the use of rounded river rock to hand 'trimmed' flatter shaped rectangles and squares that have been used all over Europe – dating back to Roman times. The word cobblestone remained the common word used to describe the size/type of stone material and today is used to describe both traditional rectangles and square shaped paving stone.
These Charleston ballast stones can be called cobblestones as they were hand pitched to rectangle shapes to begin with. Perhaps the masons in Europe knew they would be well suited to re-purposing even back then! The USA have plentiful streets on the east coast and port towns that are paved with these original ballast stones.
As the author commented, Charleston is not only known for its cobblestone streets…. but for its iron works, many churches, historical attractions and great food . Even Forbes magazine gives the town a huge thumbs up, and an award for being a top destination, paying homage to the charm of the cobblestone streets, horse drawn carriages all 'round the town, great local dishes at the many eateries and restaurants, as well as beaches, Ft. Sumter, Patriot's Point, historic district and local shopping on King Street.
Charleston and its charming cobblestone streets are definitely worth a visit. Do you live in an area with old original cobblestone streets? Let us know!

Scmitor WolcoLt SiKxiks for .AniiMHlniorit. Jt was with much hesitation. Senator Wolcott s:iid, rmd after consultation with otliers. time tlio amendment was ofTiirc'tl.

The proposition. Senator W|0leoit added, would be satisfactory, he thuu^hi, to the blmetallists 1 who voted for bimetallism, a:u! it' should be equally satisfactory to those bijnet- uilists ,vlio professed adhesion to bimetallism, but voted :'k'aln.st it. tLaufrliter].

The senate had, tho other day, by :t , lartfO majority, declared Its conviction that bimetallism through the United ' States should at onco be inaugurated. There had been a disinclination to interfere with the business of the session, and :i knon-lcclRC that .nothiuc In tho way of legislation could be practically accomplished at this time and under existing ctrctunsiances. Uut the senate had declared Us opinion—and the sufl'orias and the poverty, and tlic paralysis of business, which had overtaken the land—that the way out of It w;is,not by waiting for the uncertain action of European countries, not by ihe abandonment of silver und the adoption of gold monometallism, but ov a return to the principles laid down by the constitution and by the financial policy which Jind brought prosperity to tha country lor more taun a auntury. ••We are," he concluded, "for bimetallism by the United Stales' alone. Jf other countries, will join us, so much the better. The adoption of this amendment will give this country an opportunity to act in concert with other nations if that cooperation shall be tendered us." lixihin Appropriation Bill Tnlccn Up. The consideration of the Indian appropriation bill was then proceeded with, this b:ing the fourth day that it has been before the senate. Mr. Kyle (pop., S. D.) offered an amendment tnat the term Indian occurring in any law on treaty shall be held to mean and include not only all Indians of full blood, but also all Indians of mixed blood, of whatever degree, maintaining- tribal relations. Kanaom'tf Nomination Confirmed. A message having been received from the president with the nomination of Senator Ransom, of North Carolina, as United States minister to Mexico, the senate, on motion of Senator Blackburn (dem,, Ky.), went into executive session and confirmed the nomination .unanimously. The senate discussed the Indian appropriation bill until 3 p. m. without disposing- of it. Senator Butler (dem., S.

DEVELOPERS are looking at an alternative way of bringing materials to a site where they hope to begin work soon on building 137 new homes.
Nicholson Crest met with councillors and planners to see if there is an alternative to using Foldgate Lane for the heavy traffic.
The meeting was attended by Ludlow Town Councillor Glen Ginger as well as two of the town's Shropshire councillors, Vivienne Parry and Andy Boddington, along with members of Ludford Parish Council.
Alternatives being considered include utilising an underpass that is currently used by a farmer.
Vivienne Parry, who is both a Shropshire councillor and member of Ludlow Town Council, said that using Foldgate Lane is not allowed under the planning approval and would be unacceptable.
"It would involve heavy lorries going down a narrow and unsuitable road as well as close to a care home that has dementia patients."
Crest Nicholson's plan is for construction traffic to go along Foldgate Lane from the mini roundabout near the Co-op for a length of around 85 metres.
Trucks would then turn into the north field and run along the inside of the hedge. They would cross Foldgate Lane just west of the bend and enter the south field.
Marshalls will be on duty at this point. The works will last for six to eight weeks after which construction traffic will access the site from the A49 using a newly built T-Junction.
Crest Nicholson has gained planning permission for 137 homes, 25 per cent affordable, off Foldgate Lane after a five-year battle with residents, councils and planners.
The developer is ready to go ahead with building the first phase of the housing. But one major hurdle must be crossed before housebuilding can commence. When planning permission was granted by a planning inspector in November 2016, the inspector insisted that no houses can be built until a T-Junction is constructed to allow access from the A49.
"All parties agree that it is not practical to build this T-Junction from the A49," added Mr Boddington.
"The road is around six metres higher than the site at this point.
"That is why Viv Parry and I suggested a different location for the T-Junction where the difference in levels is just one metre. But Crest Nicholson is ruling this out.
"Ludford Parish Council have come up with another proposal. They want construction traffic to approach from Sheet Farm on the other side of the A49."

text: M3 GT3 0 Posted July 30, 2017 Hello Everyone! I am new to the NASA forums, and am really excited to become a member of the NASA community! I am building an e36 M3 for competition in Auto-X, TT, and GTS this summer, and I need some clarification on a couple rules. I have owned the car for almost 7 years and bought it with some front end damage to the wheelhouse assembly that was incorrectly repaired. My plan has been to cut off the damage (basically everything forward of the firewall except the engine rails) and build tubular strut towers and sheet metal or plastic inner fenders. I am building the car primarily for GTS, and by my interpretation of the rules this allowed because a tube chassis is defined as "A vehicle that is built solely for racing, and cannot be be driven with the tube structure removed. Drivetrain and suspension mounting points are exempt from this rule." The rules for TT are a little bit more vague. I would like to be able to run in TT2, but the rulebook for TT is not as clear as the GTS rulebook. It is possible that building a tubular front end could bump me into TTU, and if that is the case, my GTS3/4 BMW will not be competitive at all. Does anyone have experience with this? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated! -Will Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Four of the finest archers of the Low King of the Dwarfs ready their crossbows.
As with all dwarf weapons, these crossbows have been mechanically improved with the latest advances...
like these improved hand cranks to speed up there reload time.
I painted these metal pieces in the 1990's, they are very solid castings but I don't remember the manufacturer. This is the first of a series of pictures of one my favorite fantasy armies-the Under Kingdom of the Dwarf's.
Found out through the good fellows at Lead Adventure Forum, that these were from Heartbreaker's Leviathan range (now sold as Scotia Grendel).

Flip or Flop used to be so good! Then Tarek and Christina got divorced and it became a disaster, which Decider let me rant about.
An excerpt:
While viewing figures have continued to soar this season, the personal B-plots to each episode are dominated by unnecessary and sometimes even downright contrived issues between Tarek and Christina. Presumably, drama is good for ratings and given that fans of the show have also followed and become invested in the relationship between its stars over the years, it would be just as weird if it was never mentioned at all. However, most viewers watch the show because we like to see the transformation of the actual houses, and all this filler content about the state of the El Moussa's conscious uncoupling is distracting at best and downright obnoxious at worst.

Jim Lee Teases DMZ 50
Right from Vertigo's Blog: In February we'll be celebrating this milestone with an amazing issue which includes 5 self contained stories and 5, what I'll call, character studies.
The project includes a power house lineup including Jim Lee, Rebekah Isaacs, Fabio Moon, Ryan Kelly, John Paul Leon, Lee Bermejo, Philip Bond, Eduardo Risso and Dave Gibbons.
Jim Lee explains via his twitter ( @jimlee00 ) "It's kinda like the 50th ish of 100 Bullets, diff artists, each doing a page I believe." Insomniacs were also treated to some eye candy. Click each to super size. Enjoy!
DMZ: In the near future, America's worst nightmare has come true. With military adventurism overseas bogging down the Army and National Guard, the U.S. government mistakenly neglects the very real threat of anti-establishment militias scattered across the 50 states. Like a sleeping giant, Middle America rises up and violently pushes its way to the shining seas, coming to a standstill at the line in the sand — Manhattan or, as the world now knows it, the DMZ.
Matty Roth, a naïve young man and aspiring photojournalist, lands a dream gig following a veteran war journalist into the heart of the DMZ. Things soon go terribly wrong, and Matty finds himself lost and alone in a world he's only seen on television. There, he is faced with a choice: try to find a way off the island, or make his career with an assignment most journalists would kill for. But can he survive in a war zone long enough to report the truth? Download Issue #1 RIGHT HERE.

YoungerSon's best friend was tying the knot and YoungerSon and his Bride couldn't be at the ceremony, only at the after-party, so I showed up instead, along with the mum of the best man. It was at the historic Enoch Turner School House in downtown Toronto. Photo taken before most of the guests arrived.

An extension of their 20th Anniversary season hinges on the 'Cases' Somerset Rebels overhauling a 12-point deficit when they host the Glasgow Tigers later today (Wednesday), after going down 51-39 in the first leg of the 'Four by Two" semi-final play-off at Ashfield on Tuesday night.
The Rebels fought bravely on the Scottish shale and were in touch with the home side for the majority of the meeting but the Tigers' powerhouse of Craig Cook and Rasmus Jensen, the SGB Championship Pairs winners at the Oak Tree Arena recently, prevailed in the closing stages delivering maximum heat scores in both heats 13 and 15 to put the Tigers in the driving seat of the tie.
Team manager Garry May admitted "Our boys did well, very well and we had them worried for much of the meeting as we refused to allow them to get away from us. Anders (Rowe) rode particularly well and with a maturity about him and he very much kept us in it. I think the turning point was when Rory Schlein was denied a second place that he had worked extremely hard for in heat nine and which most people seemed to feel, as I did, that he had stolen the points from Sam Jensen. But the one opinion that mattered, that of the referee, saw it differently and they (Glasgow) banked a 5-1 from the heat. It was always going to be tough to get back from six down after that knowing that they had Cookie and Razzer in two of the last three heats. But we kept plugging away and Luke Harris was close to getting what would have been a vital third place in heat fourteen."
"I have to say that 12 points to pull back makes it tough for us. It means we must outscore them in at least four heats and not allow them to get anything back on us in the others. That makes it tricky but I know our lads will go out there and fight for every point going. We still want to win this tie and if we can get off to a good start, you never know they might capitulate. The Premiership play-off semi-final saw precisely that on Saturday when Poole squandered a first leg lead of 10 to home side Ipswich. We will be looking for 52 points tonight so we need to take all our chances and to quote an old cliché, avoid the last places."
The Rebels have made a switch to the riding order deployed at Glasgow with Rory Schlein switching from number five to three and Nick Morris going in the opposite direction. Captain Chris Harris leads the team and with his October average being 0.01 higher than that of Schlein he assumes the number one race jacket.
First Leg Scorers:-
GLASGOW 51 - C.Cook 11+2 M.Andersen 2+2 C.Vissing 9+1 S.Jensen 4+1 R.Jensen 14 C.Bailey 3+2 K.Bickley 8+1
SOMERSET - 39 C.Harris 7 A.Rowe 6+2 N.Morris 10 N.Covatti 6+2 R.Schlein 9 N.Stoneman 0 L.Harris 1
Second Leg Teams:
Somerset – 1. Chris Harris (Capt), 2. Anders Rowe, 3. Rory Schlein, 4.Nico Covatti, 5. Nick Morris, 6. Nathan Stoneman, 7. Luke Harris – Team manager Garry May
Glasgow - 1. Craig Cook (Capt), 2. Mikkel B.Andersen, 3. Claus Vissing, 4. Sam Jensen, 5. Rasmus Jensen, 6. Connor Bailey, 7 Kyle Bickley – Team manager Cameron Brown

Birthday bash brings brutal band – FPC at 32
The Peace Camp's anniversary passed in some style as friends and former campers joined to celebrate 32 years of anti-nuclear action. Camp stalwarts, including some of its founders, shared memories, whilst current campers offered workshops on present and proposed future activities.
Our still-standing stage took the party to the MoD, or some few feet of its land at least. Unfortunately this gave its police force licence to be annoying, though they did stand off some in the end and made a series of agreements (with themselves) to permit the party, amid some mumbling about multiple trespass transgressions.
Transgression was supplemented with aggression, as probably the first 'brutal death metal' band to perform at the Camp rocked the base with noises not heard locally since the last Punk's Picnic. A surreal segue into elevator music kept the festival sound system warm for our visiting mixmaestros to play out the weekend (and a little over, until the generator failed).
Unsupervised use of this awesome equipment by enthusiastic amateurs led to a number of complaints, but Police Scotland actually confounded expectation by dealing with these in a courteous and tolerant manner. It was almost enough to lead us to forget the numerous wrongful arrests, extended terms in custody, spurious vehicle pulls, speculative stop-and-searches, and idle threats, but not quite.
Perhaps the rationale for the (relative) fluffiness of the forces of oppression was that the party would serve as a distraction from the action that usually accompanies the Peace Camp's birthday. It wasn't; the nuclear convoy staging at and leaving AWE Burghfield over the weekend did that. Since it didn't come up in the end, we didn't get the opportunity to welcome it to Scotland despite putting other plans on hold. In consequence, the next Peace Camp action doesn't count, an attitude we hope is shared by the eventual prosecuting authorities.
More generally, the weekend remained a success in bringing people to the brink of destruction (Faslane, of course) and offering them a mix of entertainment and information. Everyone was lovely, but we owe special thanks to the sound-in-every-way guys and their diligent decksmithery; the musicians who played mostly to midges (numerically at least); the guest-starring chefs who helped us hospitalise; everyone who brought us presents; and our neighbours for their understanding. This said, hopefully the Camp doesn't have too many birthdays left, because neither does Trident.
Please note: there are more and better birthday pictures. These are placeholders until the Campers remember to charge their phones and upload them.

The concept of personal area network (PAN) is relatively new. A PAN, basically, is a network that supports the interoperation of devices in personal space (Elliott & Phillips, 2003). In this sense, it is a network solution that enhances our personal environment, either work or private, by networking a variety of personal and wearable devices within the space surrounding a person and providing the communication capabilities within that space and with the outside world (Prasad & Munoz, 2003). A wireless PAN (WPAN) is the natural evolution of this concept, where all participating devices communicate wirelessly. Furthermore, a WPAN is a network that moves with a person, linking all the devices carried by the person with each other, as well as any devices that are met along the way. Since a WPAN has by definition a limited range, compatible devices that are encountered along its path can either link to it or leave it when they go out of its range in a flexible and secure way.
The limited range of a WPAN offers additional advantages such as low-emitted power (thus reducing potential health risks), lower power consumption (hence longer battery life), and lower probability of interference from other WPANs as well as the possibility of location-based services (LBSs). Nevertheless, the core of a WPAN is the wireless technology employed. Nowadays there are many such technologies to choose from. Each one offers specific advantages and disadvantages, which should be taken into consideration before deciding on the most suitable for a particular service or environment.
Of all current wireless technologies Bluetooth is the most promising and employed for many real-life applications. Applications using Bluetooth have become important in hot spots such as at hotels, shopping malls, railway stations, airports, and so forth. Bluetooth is a well-established communications standard for short distance wireless connections. A wide range of peripherals such as printers, personal computers, keyboards, mouse, fax machines, and any other digital device can be part of a Bluetooth network.
Bluetooth has many advantages: (1) low cost, (2) considerable degree of interference-free operation, (3) speed, (4) appropriate range, (5) low power, (6) connectivity, (7) provision for both synchronous and asynchronous links, and (8) wide availability in mobile phones, PDAs, and other devices. Bluetooth is usage-scenario driven, in the sense that its design points were optimized to satisfy established market needs (Bisdikian, 2005). Such usage scenarios are headset to mobile phone connectivity (hands free); mobile device to computer synchronization; digital camera to printer connection for printing; and so forth. More sophisticated applications in diverse areas have been investigated such as hotel services (electronic door locks, check-in/out) in Starwood Hotels and portable patient monitoring in hospitals so that recovering patients are not confined to their rooms (Dursch, Yen, & Shih, 2004). Another interesting application of Bluetooth technology took place at the CeBIT 2001: Guiding services for finding the shortest path to a particular exhibitor in the hall as well as additional exhibitor information services were implemented (Kraemer & Schwander, 2003).
The core of Bluetooth technology is based on the IEEE 802.11 standard and it is a wireless system for short-range communication. This standard defines the protocol for two types of networks; client/server and ad-hoc networks. Bluetooth supports both point-to-point and point-to-multi-point connections. Both Bluetooth and most of IEEE 802.11x share the same 2.4 GHz industrial, scientific and medical, license-free frequency band. Compared with other systems operating in the same frequency band, the Bluetooth radio typically hops faster and uses shorter packets.

Remodeling Your Home in the Summertime
The summer months are always a great opportunity for change. People often have a little more time on their hands during the summertime. That's the reason they frequently decide to remodel their homes with the help of Signature Kitchen and Bath then. If you want to give your residence a nice update for summer 2017, these useful tips can do you a lot of good. Giving your home a fun summer upgrade can be rewarding and fun. It doesn't have to be time-consuming or stressful at all, either.
Install Energy Efficient Windows
Cooling a home during the summer months can often be quite expensive. Dealing with excessively hot indoor temperatures, however, is never pleasant. If you want to keep your home cool without having to spend an arm and a leg in the summertime, it can be a terrific idea to install brand new energy efficient windows. Energy efficient windows are simultaneously practical and fun. These windows can minimize summertime cooling costs. They also, however, come in all types of visually enticing and attractive styles. If you want to jazz up your home and be practical and economical at the same time, nothing can top installing energy efficient windows.
Increase the Amount of Space in Your Home
Most residential properties can benefit from a little extra space. Who doesn't like the idea of more room? Think about turning your attic into a spare bedroom for guests who visit from out of town. If you regularly host family members who live far away, a guest bedroom can be a significant help. Basement finishing can also be a wonderful idea. If you have a dark and dim basement that doesn't offer you any joy, it doesn't have to stay that way. You can turn it into an entertainment center for the entire family. You can even turn it into another bedroom. The options are abundant.
Remodel Your Bathroom
A bathroom is an important part of any home. People spend so much time in their bathrooms on a daily basis. They get ready for busy days in them. They enjoy soothing and luxurious bubble baths in them at night as well. If you want to make the most out of your bathroom, remodeling it in the summertime can make a great option. Remodeling choices are plentiful, too. It can be terrific to install larger sinks. It can be smart to purchase sleek and eye-catching glass shower doors. Changing the tile flooring in your bathroom can also do a lot. Updating your bathroom floor with sparkling new tiles can be a joy. A major bathroom update can also be great for people who frequently have guests in their homes. If you want the people who visit your home to feel comfortable and at ease, any time they use your bathroom, a summer remodeling project is most likely the way to go!
Paint Your Walls
Summer home remodeling projects don't always have to be complex and detail-oriented. The most exciting residential remodeling projects are sometimes the most simple ones, interestingly enough. If you want to do something good for your home in summer 2017, your best bet may be something as hassle-free and straightforward as painting your walls a new color. Freshly painted walls can improve the appearance of any living space significantly. If you want to give your living room some extra pizzazz and character, a brand new color may do the trick. New wall paint can also make your home look and feel fresh, clean and airy. Paint that's old, fading and chipping is never the most welcoming thing.

Guests attending marriages and civil partnerships can now enjoy a visual feast during proceeding at the Lambeth register office, as a headline designer from last year's Brixton Design Trail has put her own unique stamp in the revamped town hall. Katja Behre of Elli-Popp, whose Cosmos Collages of cosmic landscapes featured as large wall lights at the Animali Domestici ID Papers exhibition, was specially commissioned to create a wallpaper mural.
She has used her trademark 'hide and seek' design to encourage visitors to look deep within the mural of the registry office to discover the hidden depths of Lambeth people and culture.
Katja says 'With such an abundant and rich history I felt it important to discreetly add cultural figures into the design – from William Blake and Olive Morris, to vintage photographs of Brixton and Brixtonians.
'All these illustrious south Londoners are also mixed in with the current locals – as it is the people who make Lambeth. It was an honour working on this commissioned wallpaper mural not only as a local but I also learnt a lot about the cultural heritage of this diverse district and council' says Katja.

The Ohio legislature recently passed House Bill 353, which operates to exempt certain types of prepaid cards, rewards cards, and prepaid electronic payments from the provisions of its Unclaimed Funds Law.
Under previous Ohio law, there was some question as to whether credits owed to retail customers were reportable if the credit was in a certain form, or usable for services in addition to merchandise. Now, any obligation due to a retail customer is exempt, even if redeemable for services (and still for merchandise), and even if that card is issued by a financial organization as defined under the law.
House Bill 353, also now exempts any electronic payment device issued by a financial organization or business that does not contain an expiration date, is not redeemable for cash, and meets the following conditions:
• The instrument is purchased or loaded on a prepaid basis for the future delivery of goods or services
• The instrument is redeemable at a single or affiliated group or merchants/service providers
• Can be an open-loop card issued by a financial organization
• Also includes rewards cards as defined under the new law
House Bill 353 passed the Ohio Senate in September, and Governor Kasich signed it on October 23. The projected effective date is currently set at January 21, 2019. For additional information on gift card production and business usage in Ohio, visit the Attorney General information page.

KBB Study Finds Women Prefer Volvos, Men Prefer Lincolns, People Like Cars
Kelley Blue Book has conducted a study to determine which brands men and women are more likely to prefer. The results suggest that men prefer luxury vehicles of European origins; women tend to prefer imports primarily from Asia, and both genders lean toward cars with four wheels.
When compared to the preferences of men, Volvo is tops among female new-car shoppers on KBB.com with a 119 percent greater likelihood of a woman looking to buy a Volvo than a man.
Of the findings, Diana Duque-Miranda, senior manager for Kelley Blue Book Market Intelligence, said "more women are attracted to Volvo than male shoppers, and more likely to consider Asian manufacturers like Honda, Acura and Nissan that are traditionally known for high safety ratings, as KBB.com research shows 76 percent of women look for safety features in their next new-vehicle purchase compared to 61 percent of men."
On the flipside, men are 174 percent more likely to look into buying a Lincoln luxury vehicle. Kelley Blue Book Market Intelligence manager Arthur Henry noted, "Brands with a rich heritage, such as Lincoln, Buick, Cadillac and Mercedes-Benz, tend to draw the attention of older men more than younger men or even women."
The full findings and more details on the study can be found in KBB's press release. Do you think these findings are accurate? Are you a luxury lovin' lady or a safety-sensing sir? Let us know in the comments below!

Quality player. You must have caught him in his off game.
Comparing a 1st season at Watford to a 3rd season at Stoke is not fair.Look at Shaqiri first season at Stoke: 32 apps 3 goals.Richarlison is a winger that scores around 1 goal in 4 games on average and he's hard to seal with because of his skill and pace.Slot him in a good side and he is going to bag a lot of assists, so he will be abit wasted at Everton.

If you thought Richarlison saying he always watched Everton as a kid was cringeworthy, then Digne is a step above. The tattoo is to do with his parents, not us, which is fine. He then says maybe we are sore because he turned us down twice when he was younger. The best however, is he turned us down because he was always a Blue! Why do they feel the need to put these ridiculous, phoney stories about, he's their player now who cares who he supported as a kid!

The Elizabethtown (Pa.) Church of the Brethren board has responded to the passage of "Policy on Same-Gender Marriage" by the Atlantic Northeast District board, "respectfully requesting" the board to withdraw the item from consideration at this year's district conference. Elizabethtown states in the response, dated Aug. 13, that it is "a congregation that has reached decidedly differing conclusions on the issues of human sexuality and pastoral care to all persons."
The proposed district policy acknowledges "the Church of the Brethren is not of one mind on a number of issues, including that of homosexuality and same-gender marriage," and emphasizes the importance of relationships. Citing past denominational and district actions, however, it goes on to outline a "Response Process for a Minister Who Performs a Same-Gender Marriage." That process includes a report to the district executive, documentation of the details of the report, and conversations with the minister involved, the District Ministry Commission, and the minister's congregation.
For the latest Brethren news go to the main Newsline page
If the congregation supports the minister's actions, then a letter of reprimand and a one-year probation would be given for a "first offense." Further steps could be taken following conversation at the end of the one-year period. For a documented "second offense," a recommendation would be made to the district board for "immediate termination" of ministry credentials. If the minister did not have congregational support, then it would be reported "as a potential Ministerial Ethics Violation."
The Elizabethtown response to this proposed statement notes "the realities of congregational life together with numerous members of (the) LGBTQ community and their participation," provides background on the congregation's "affirmation of being 'open to all,'" reviews the process used to reach the decision, and explores the possible "dilemma" Elizabethtown would face should district conference pass the statement.
Should the paper be adopted, Elizabethtown says, "our congregation will be caught between the district mandate and our understanding of the call of Christ. While yearning to remain in full fellowship with the district simultaneously we are determined to be faithful. We prefer to act in loving mutual discernment rather than forced compliance." The congregation, it says, is open to ongoing dialogue but would "not comply with these arbitrary mandates" out of "a spirit of obedience to the call Christ has placed upon us." Elizabethtown pastor Greg Davidson Laszakovits said that he was "proud of my congregation" for its supportive stance.
The Atlantic Northeast District conference is scheduled for Oct. 5-6 at Elizabethtown College's Leffler Chapel with Mindy Wintsch, associate pastor of Mechanic Grove Church of the Brethren, serving as moderator. Several "sectional meetings" to discuss upcoming business at district conference had already been scheduled for September.

Anatoly Borodin is a photographer and entrepreneur from Moscow. He produces a digital magazine called pro-kolgotki (or Pantyhose Magazine). For the last 10 years, he's taken photos of women in pantyhose and even produced a high end, limited edition photobook last year, raising the capital via Indigogo. Women in Pantyhose was released at the end of 2017 and was well received.
His models are not professionals—they're all amateur girls from Moscow, Kiev and other Russian and Ukrainian cities. Borodin's main goal is to raise their self-esteem and get them good photos to use on their blogs and other social media. Many get paid to shoot with him. Some of the girls wear hardly any makeup and have an all-natural look.
He photographs women in underwear and pantyhose and doesn't consider them to be fetish shoots. His sessions are more about women and their true beauty. And he's done his research for 15 years—Borodin has tested hundreds of pairs of pantyhose and learned everything he can about the hosiery industry. Wolford is his favorite brand. According to Borodin most women shockingly don't know anything about pantyhose—this could be from the decline that started in the 1990s. His conclusion is that they don't care about hosiery and they just purchase random tights whenever and don't worry about brand names or quality.
Borodin enjoys seeing women in pantyhose in everyday life, even if few women wear them these days. His fetish has become his art and the goal of his book Women in Pantyhose was to have more women wear pantyhose. And, he doesn't use seamless pantyhose in his shoots anymore—they're hard to photograph since they're too matt and thin, lighting and angles are difficult, and models can't wear panties since they're made to have nothing worn with them, so the photos become too explicit.
Most fashion photographers say they don't retouch photos, but they do. Borodin spends 10 to 30 minutes retouching a photo. Each issue of his magazine pro-kolgotki features 400 photos and that ends up being 66 to 200 hours of work just in the editing. He sees editing as art and making a vivid image you don't see in everyday life. The photo shoots themselves are completely directed and prearranged—this is another way Borodin gets such amazing images.
Bordin's photos revolve around feminine beauty and showcase women in all stages of dress and undress. He uses mainly younger women, but he features all body types and has even shot plus-sized models. Borodin photographs the more sultry photos in his studio, but he also uses nature like parks and farms to photograph women dressed as professionals or wearing cute sundresses.
Bordin has realized from shooting hundreds of women that most of them have no idea what does and doesn't fit them, and how important matching panties and pantyhose colors are. They think no one will notice, but men definitely notice stockings. He insists on matching underwear and pantyhose on his sets and views white panties under sheer, black pantyhose a major fashion violation. He even has his own guide to matching. Black pantyhose should be worn with black or dark panties. Nude pantyhose call for nude, white, or light panties. If you're going to sport colorful pantyhose, you can make your own call but go for complimentary colors. Look at panties and pantyhose as you would any other accessory like belts, bracelets, earrings, lipstick, etc. And all his advice comes from photographing thousands of models, as well as wearing pantyhose himself to get the feel and sensation, as well as understand women better.

How To Buy Parcels In CAD & GIS Formats
If you use CAD or GIS software for your mapping projects, there are two recommended ways to purchase a section of the data in DWG or SHP format; MapWarehouse or custom order.
The mapping coverage of many kinds of spatial data has been clipped into a grid of 500m x 500m tiles across Southern Ontario. Use the map based search to pick the tiles that cover your area of interest and add them to your shopping cart. Tiles of parcel PINs are priced at a flat rate of $77.00 +tax per tile with the purchase of aerial imagery.
- Fast and always available
- Excellent value in dense urban areas
- Choose SHP or DWG format
- Only POLARIS quality PINs are available (see the map below)
- Parcels are clipped to tile boundaries
|Parcels will be clipped to tile boundaries.
Closed polygons are shown in blue.
|The same tile shown in context. More than one tile will
be needed for parcels that fall on the tile boundary.
What You'll Get
At the checkout, you will pick from a SHP or DWG delivery. You will receive *.zip folder containing a 500m x 500m clipped tile of line work defining the parcel boundaries. DWG files will contain PIN text as well. SHP format deliveries will contain one line file for the boundaries and one point file containing the PIN attribute.
Custom Order
Contact customer service directly to make your request. To expedite the process, you should provide the following information:
- The county or regional municipality where it's located.
- If your company has more than one branch office, your address.
- The end users' company and contact information if you are purchasing the parcel mapping as a consultant or subcontractor for a third party.
- File format preference (SHP or DWG).
- Datum and projection preference (Default is NAD83 UTM Original).
- Your internal job number to appear on the invoice for reference.
Pros:- A boundary file to delineate the area of interest; OR
- A list of PINs as 9 digits numbers, without spaces, dashes; or other characters; OR
- A point coordinate or line, plus a buffer distance to search.
- Exactly the parcel(s) you need, no more no less
- Select by corridors
- Refine your selection based on acreage or intersection with another file you provide
- Excellent value for large parcels spanning several tiles
- Choose PIN, ARN, or both
- All parcels are available, not just POLARIS
- Each order is limited to 3000 PINs
- Only available during business hours
- Fees for custom labour will apply
What You'll Get
DWG orders will be delivered in a similar way as MapWarehouse, but with complete parcel geometry as there is no need to clip parcels at tiles boundaries. SHP orders are delivered as closed polygon features with the PIN number in the attribute table.
Cadastre Disaster
* Quality standards here refer to the accuracy of the lot line locations only, not to other information about the property.
Parcel mapping is a messy business. In the past, this mapping was created and maintained by multiple organizations using different standards of quality. Today, the legacy of patchwork has been simplified into three quality categories based on the source material the mapping was derived from.
POLARIS (Province of Ontario Land Registration Information System): Best spatial accuracy
Produced from established parcel mapping, surveys, and reliable control information.
BIM (Basic Index Mapping): Mid level spatial accuracy
Produced from 1:10,000 MNR mapping. Ground truth locations are less accurate than POLARIS mapping, but the relationship between neighbouring properties is good.
Pre-BIM: Lowest spatial accuracy
Produced from a combination of MNR mapping, older paper map and government sources of 1:10,000 or less.
|** Northern Ontario is Pre-BIM
Accuracy can vary from area to area. Better accuracy can be expected in areas with reliable, controlled surveys, typical of larger and newer urban centres. Lesser accuracy can be expected in rural areas where surveys are less available.
*** Parcel mapping, no matter which quality, is not a plan of survey.

Danseuse Aseka Wijewardene mesmorises audiences with exquisitely, graceful dancing and evocative, expressions. It is no wonder that Aseka is such a unique dancer for rhythm and dance flows in the blood of this third generation danseuse. Her parents are the internationally renowned dancing duo Channa Wijewardene and Upuli Pani Bharatha Wijewardene while her maternal grandfather is the legendary Guru of Dance, Pani Bharatha.
The name Aseka means one who knows all (siyalla dath) and she is indeed a veritable fount of knowledge about dance especially where traditional Sri Lankan dance is concerned.
Aseka is grace and femininity personified be it on stage or in real life. Dainty and slight of build, she has a beautiful, vivacious and expressive face and eyes, great assets for a dancer.
Even before she formally started learning traditional Sri Lankan dancing at eight years of age, Aseka had been character acting on stage and one such role was the role of Prince Siddhartha.
Today, Aseka is one of the principal dancers of the Channa-Upuli Dance Foundation which her illustrious parents founded in 1988. Even though a principal dancer Aseka says that she still has much to learn and has a long way to go.
Aseka has experienced the best of both worlds in dancing. She has studied Western classical ballet under Deanna Jayasuriya – a Grande dame of ballet in Sri Lanka. Though she loved it Aseka had to bid adieu to ballet as there are differences of style and movement in Western classical ballet and traditional Sri Lankan dances. Ballet is essentially a feminine, airy form of dance while traditional Sri Lankan dances are strong and to make a complete switch from one dance form to the other while practising both, was difficult. Aseka has embraced the traditional Sri Lankan dance forms with her heart and soul. A true daughter of Lanka she is very proud of the country's rich cultural heritage and dance traditions. She finds them exciting and inspiring and she reveres them. Therefore, she is meticulous in adhering to the dance traditions of our land, as a proud exponent of Sri Lankan dance.
She gladly endures grueling hours of exercise and practise and many hours on stage to give of her best to the profession she loves and she makes sacrifices too. What a normal young girl enjoys like hanging out with friends and other such entertainment are not for her. If at all she hangs out with friends from the industry where after a show or rehearsal they may go for dinner or something similar. Aseka says that she is lucky that her school friends from Ladies College and other friends understand her. For Aseka the sacrifices she makes are worth it for the sake of dance and of course she has her parents as inspiration. She also had the fortune of having her iconic maternal grandfather, the late Pani Bharatha as a great influence in her life and profession.
According to Aseka every movement, every step and embellishment in the traditioal Sri Lankan dance signify religious and spiritual elements, which give them depth and make them unique.
Aseka is a feminist to her core and she always brings this to whichever dance form she portrays. This trait in her comes from mother Upuli's aunt who was one of the first female dancers who brought feminine grace to the art of Kandyan Dancing. Aseka says that some of the movements had to be stylised in a way suited to Upuli's aunt.
Aseka explained that the beautiful, rhythmic, regal Kandyan dance has rigid and straight lines of movement and that it is also very powerful and masculine with throbbing Thalas. Aseka brings feminine grace to these masculine movements seamlessly incorporating into the dance enhancing its beauty while preserving its tradition.
The low country dance forms are more feminine and exquisitely beautiful as are the Sabaragamuwa dance forms unique to that Province says Aseka and this young danseuse loves them and enjoys performing these dances.
Dance is a very communicative art form and you should use your body, hands and face to convey what the dance is about to the audience she says.
Aseka is also a choreographer and has choreographed many dances and her inspiration comes from many things. She focuses on beauty and feminity in her postures, expressions and movements.
She loves the Indian dances, especially the Odyssey as they are feminine and fluid. She also likes the Thai dances and admires their costumes.
Though she reveres traditional dance forms, Aseka fully believes that you should move with the times. So she encourages Fusion Dance in a seamless blend of the Orient and the Occident and of the old and the new. The different elements should complement and not detract or jar against each other says this young dancer who is at home performing any form of dance.
Aseka is a much travelled dancer who is a cultural ambassador for Sri Lanka. She has performed at prestigious venues like the Sydney Opera House, Kennedy Centre in Washington and the Miller Theatre in Houston, USA among other noteworthy venues.
This talented dancer's advice to aspiring artistes is you have to have a passion and commitment towards what you do and be ready to work hard and sacrifice much.
Asked about her future plans she says she strives to be better and better at what she does.
Good luck Aseka and may you dance from success to success!

Forms are frequently recurring patterns, which appear in all phenomena, and seemed to be the crucial indicators of the nature of these happenings and their involved entities. All our earliest characterisations of things were unavoidably on the basis of their Form, and things with closely similar Forms would initiallyalways be inevitably grouped together as "closely related". But, this didn't usually hold up, as many members of such "groups" later turned out to be hardly related at all: they merely had the same Form. So Forms are not particular and fundamental, but universal: the same forms appear in many different, andcertainly not causally-related, situations. So, though common patterns do recur, and hence need explaining, they are quite different to the more physical causes: they can be common to many unrelated, and differently-caused things.
Now, in addressing why this is, and how Form is characterised by it, we have first to address the other, indeed the primary, consideration, which is what actually physically causes the identified phenomenon!
It is clear that quite different causes, in widely separated areas can display the very same Form, but that this is almost never because they all have exactly the same actual cause. Yet, this being true, why are the Forms themselves so recurrent? They must reflect similar patterns, weights and conjunctions of contributions. (Notice that the conjunctions themselves are not directly involved. It is the MIX that determines Form. Forms must be the natural shapes ofrecurring types of mixes, even if the physical causes of the involved contributions are unrelated. This feature of Form can make it extremely valuable in predicting what is likely to happen next. But, we must also notice that to "follow the Form" in this way does NOT mean that we understand the producing causes, but only the shape, or pattern, of what follows.
These questions are very important because, when asking those who address them what they think, alarge fraction of them insist that the Form is primary, indeed they tend to consider each Form as a kind of immaterial Essence, the makes things the way that they are. Consequences are considered to be driven by Form! Now, this is important because the physical causes can be missed in the worship of assumed Essential Form, and actual causes are not then directly sought for: they become unnecessary if the essential driving forces in Reality are just the Forms. Why do we need more?
Mankind has developed a powerful set of techniques for dealing with Form, and perhaps the most significant stage in its progress has been their distillation into Formulae – into general equations which are abstract mathematical representations of measurables within given Forms.

When I first arrived at EC London I was immediately set to work. I arrived on a Monday morning, the same time as every other new student arrives. My first task was to take pictures of the new students for their student cards. As the day continued I began to get to know the staff and the environment of EC London. Suzie Abrahamson gave me and my college Alexandra a tour of the building as well. Everyone was super nice to us and we felt like we belonged instantly.
As of now I have worked at EC for about three weeks and time passes by so quickly. I am working in the 30+ reception with Giulia and Saima. We get along very nice and I am very satisfied with my working environment. A day of work usually contains me filling in papers, chasing students and emailing about various problems. During a week here no day is the same. Mondays and Fridays are probably the most different because it is the day that the students leave or arrive.
I was happily surprised that EC London has such an open atmosphere. If I need help with something I can always go to anyone, regardless of their position in the firm.
I'm looking forward to the rest of my stay and I hope that it will be just as good as my first three weeks.
