As longtime labor and employment attorneys, we represent individuals from all backgrounds. Recently, amid internal strife within the Democratic party, President Donald Trump stirred a firestorm of controversy when he called out four far-left Congresswomen (AKA "The Squad"), directing them to "go back" to the countries from which they/their ancestors came.
The exact phrase used within his series of tweets was:
"Why don't they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came."
The issue is not the fact that the president has some folks in an uproar, as this is nothing new.
EEOC Considers Comments in This Vein Evidence of Racial Discrimination
What our Los Angles racial discrimination employment lawyers can say is this:
Far in advance of this maelstrom, the federal agency responsible for enforcement of anti-discriminatory employment laws expressly noted a phrase very similar and in the same vein as that shared by the president, noting it to be the type of language that might violate federal anti-discrimination employment laws.

The Jacksonville Aviation Authority spread the net widely in picking two more people Thursday to interview for its executive director job.
The choices: a Canadian who works for a private airport management firm and a Jacksonville banker who focused for years on the minority business community.
Colin Lowndes, a senior director with Vancouver Airport Services; and Cleve Warren, CEO of Essential Capital Finance, will join six other candidates during interviews that will begin next week.
Although today is the deadline for applications, recruiter Michael Bell told the committee he thought it unlikely any other promising candidates would show up.
Warren, one of three local residents on the eight-person list, is the odd man out when it comes to aviation experience: Although he served on the authority overseeing the airports in the 1990s, he's never worked in an executive capacity at one.
That shouldn't be a problem, he said. "They need someone with not just airport experience but leadership skills, finance background, business background," he said, adding that his knowledge of the political community - having worked in city administration and served on several boards - would be useful.
Otherwise, though, the committee reiterated its opposition to going outside the airport executive community, turning down a construction company executive and deciding not to reconsider airlines executives they rejected in the first round.
Among other applicants the committee rejected were the CEO of Richmond International Airport, the deputy executive director of the Orlando airport authority and the former secretary of state for Puerto Rico.
The selection committee will begin interviewing the candidates Monday. Conversations with the candidates will be done by individual board members, so as to remain private.

The Middle East Institute and Arabian Sights are pleased to co-host the U.S. premiere of Amir Ramses' latest feature film, Cairo Time (2014), starring Nour El-Sherif, Mervat Amin, and Samir Sabry, three of Egypt's silverscreen icons.
Cairo Time intertwines three stories that take place during the course of one day in Cairo, fusing elements of romance, comedy, and drama. The film is a multigenerational story of six interconnected characters, all at a turning point in their lives. Lila, a retired actress is looking for her last acting partner to resolve unfinished business. Salma, a germaphobe, is dating Wael and arguing about the biggest decision of their lives. Hazem, a young drug dealer on his way from Alexandria to Cairo, picks up an old man desperate to find the woman in the picture he has carried around for years. Together they embark on a rollicking journey.
Ramses is most noted for his groundbreaking and critically acclaimed documentaries Jews of Egypt (2012) and Jews of Egypt: The End of a Journey (2014), two documentaries that explore the lives and eventual expulsion of Jews from Egypt after the end of World War II.

Being in control feels strange
My cousin has kindly lent me a Nikon D200 and two lenses, It feels strange being in control of the camera again after using a point and shoot for the last 5 years or so. I went out with it this morning although the lighting was terrible and did leave me with a few problems, but I still managed to get a couple of shots that were ok. The one below of the daffodil is probably the most successful shot of the day. I did a bit of quick editing on it, I think it kinda works but I am also thinking that the daffodil could do with being over to the the right. I will go back tomorrow to take the picture again.
I should also mention that my cousin is a photographer of live events and gigs you can see his work at Mutant Rock Photography he also does portrait photography and you can see his work at Michael Walker Photography.
Toad photo
Saw this Toad while out walking Horace this morning.
It was confirmed by Lynne at BBC Springwatch that this is a Toad and not a frog as I thought.
Stiff Little Fingers
Went to see them last night at the O2 Academy in Leeds, 1st time I had seen them live, Before I went I thought I would be the only one there that didn't know anything they had done but as they started I began to recognise some of the songs and in the end I knew more than I thought I did. It was a good gig and the crowd was good too, they where very passionate about SLF. At the end of the gig we went to get some t-shirts, I asked for a kids t-shirt and the guy asked how old? I said 9 months, i mean 10 months, He looked at me and 9-10 months? the smallest we've got is 3-4 years, I said that will do as long as he's got one! then a cheer went up around me and call of nice one get him in early. I felt so proud and walked away with a huge smile on my face.
I took some photos on my iPhone that you can see below.

Towpath Tidy in the paper
The Towpath Tidy I went on made it in the local paper, Shame I didn't make it in the photo though. Lets hope more people see it and think about joining us on the next tidy.
New panoramic photo
Anew panoramic photo has been added, On this one I used a tripod and took 19 separate photos and joined them together in Photoshop. I normally take the photos hand held.
Photo highlight of the week.
Oliver is 10 months old today, We took him to the Ponderosa Park in Heckmondwike, He enjoyed it, He talked to and touched some of the animals. They also have a beach area which was new to him, he kept eating the sand and we built him a sand castle. Here he is on a police bike rocker.
Bomb Shelter Photographs
Back in 2007 a bomb shelter was unearthed after a factory was demolished in Dewsbury, We went to investigate, you can see the photographs in my Photography section by clicking the image left.
I was going through my photos today and came across this photo of a Ladybird I took in 2009, I did a bit of editing on it to improve it so I thought I would post it.

text: Apricot wood beads. The wood for these beads came from our good neighbor, who we gave a hand one day cutting a few branches off her sick apricot tree. The tree is now in good health. The wood is stained using apple cider vinegar and steel wool giving the beads a dark finish. All beads are handmade in our home studio. We offer four sizes, medium being the most universal fitting. For the individual with a thicker wrist we offer a large or XL, as well as a small size for the petite wrist.

Episode 16: Cultivating Adventure Mindset
We are in the thick of the holiday season. Last week's episode focused heavily on how to have a Magical Minimal Holiday, and I loved the feedback from that show. This week we are not going to talk specifically about the holidays, although the topic will relate to the holiday season and really to everything because this topic is about your mind. This topic is about the way that you perceive the events that happened in your life and the way that you can prepare yourself mentally to even further enjoy whatever it is that happens. Before I dive in with two feet talking about cultivating an adventure mindset, I want to share some of my peaks of the week.
Segment: Peaks Of The Week
Album: Hue + Hum Christmas Album
It was created in 2011 by my friends, Katelyn and Robbie Connolly, who have now moved on to bigger and different things. Caitlin is an incredible artist and Robbie now plays the guitar for The Killers, so I don't see a followup album happening anytime soon and I'm so happy that they had this time back then that they put their hearts into this album. It's called a hue and hum Christmas. It's five of the most beautiful ethereal Christmas tracks that you will ever hear and lucky for us. It's still available on itunes. It is so beautiful and one of my very favorites.
Product: Trader Joe's Soy Candles
If you have a trader Joe's near you and you haven't yet tried out their candles, I'm telling you they are the best. There are a couple things that I really love about them. One is that they're really inexpensive for a natural soy candle. The tin burns for up to 24 hours. They're all natural and soy, which means that they're not going to contribute to any of the sort of weird chemical funk in the air in the house. So I'd love that. And they're only $3.99. They have seasonal scents so that it's not like overwhelming with which of the 15 different options to choose from. Usually there's only one or two scent options at a time. Right now, it's a Cedar Balsam for the holidays and so it's this really delicious piney smell, but it's a natural smell. It doesn't feel overwhelming or too fake, if that makes sense.
I am planning on giving a Trader Joe's for candle and a big juicy orange to each of my neighbors this year, wrapped in a cellophane bag tied with some rosemary as a simple holiday gift. I think that that gentle scent, whether it's a springtime, or whether it's a winter scent like this Christmas one, just add such a really cozy feeling to a home and a really inexpensive natural candle is a great way to achieve that coziness.
Book: Belong by Radha Agrawal
She is the founder of Thinx, the underwear company and also the founder of Daybreaker, which is this movement of early morning dance parties, fitness dance parties, and they pop up in cities all over the world and thousands of people will come together and dress up and it's a sober fitness inspired like holistic dance party and so rather than going clubbing to get your dance on, you can wake up at seven in the morning. I think it's six or seven in the morning and you go dance for two hours and they have smoothies and they have some green juice and you know, healthy food there. And so you get to really enjoy the experience of being in a big group and dancing and having a fun time and have it not be like a club scene.
I love to dance. And I remember graduating from high school and feeling like, oh no. There isn't really an opportunity to go dance anymore because anywhere that you would go to dance is like a club or party that I didn't really feel like was my vibe and so I love the idea of daybreaker. There isn't one in Richmond. I need to go. Go to one. I think Washington DC has some and that's my nearest city, so I need to look it up. You should check it out. It's daybreaker.com.
My peak of the week isn't daybreaker because I actually haven't experienced that yet. My pick of the week is the book written by the founder and the book is called belong. The basic outline of the book is discussing why we need communities and how to create a community for ourselves that we can be a part of that fulfills all of those needs of belonging that we have and the whole idea just really resonated with me.
I've talked about how we have moved around a lot as a family and a lot of, I think our character and our adaptability in our coping has come from that from really consistent change and it has been so necessary at every step of the way for us to create a community and feel like we belong to our new home. I think people can sometimes go years without fitting in or without feeling like they fit, fit in, and here's the key without creating a community to fit into. I discuss how to make friends in episode three of this podcast, which is one of the highest listened to podcasts, which tells me that it's a need that a lot of us have and that we aren't necessarily fulfilling in the right way. This book really dives in deep and shifts perspective and gives tips to create a community that you want to be a part of and that you really feel like you belong in, not just online as well.
I love that she discusses the difference between an online friend and what she calls a" five senses friend". Someone that you can hear and see and touch. Someone that is present in your actual life in your city. I know that there is such power in that and it's really important to have that feeling of friendship and community where you are in real life. So I loved all of the tips that she gave. It is kind of like a work through book as well. There's questions and you can fill in your answers within the book and I love that format and so I will link the book in the show notes.
Beverage: WATER
A couple months ago I sort of took a deep dive into reconnecting my relationship with this beverage and I really enjoyed it and so I just wanted to give a shout out to the one and only water. You guys, water is the best! I think that we often get so tied up in all the different options that are available for beverages right now. There are so many options for what to drink. We sometimes. I know for me I sometimes forget that water is almost always the very best option. Best in terms of what our body actually needs and can use.
I love fun drinks. I'm the first to like create a special cocktail for a holiday party for several years I was like a 9:00 AM diet coke girl. I took a break in the month of October to reconnect with water. Doing that helped me realize: A) my body needs water and that it feels good when it drinks water and B) I don't actually miss out on that much when I am just a water drinker, that there's lots of other things to enjoy in life besides the millions of different beverage options.
And so I'm just going to give a shout out peak of the week to my friend water that has rehydrated me reinvigorated my ability to make choices simple by having a goto. And so what I've decided is that I'm a water drinker. If I don't have a specific reason why I need to drink something else than water is going to be my default. That may seem really simple and for a lot of you that probably is just the way you operate, but for a while, for me that was not my baseline. Like if there was no other choice than I would reach for diet coke. And so it was really helpful to have my baseline option b water. I'm a water drinker. Water's the best. Shout out to water. That's my peak of the week.
A Road Trip Adventure
I'm going to tell you a story of one of the adventures that I took several years ago as a young mom with my kids. This is my introduction to cultivating an adventure mindset. I want to get into how to take some of the principles that make an adventure– like the one I'm going to share– successful or fulfilling, and apply them to any type of situation that we are living in.
An adventure doesn't have to be going out in search of buried treasure or climbing the highest mountain. Every single day we encounter experiences that if we treat them as adventure with the principles that I want to discuss in today's show, that we will feel better, more fulfilled and happier.
My own childhood road trips.
So to start, I'm going to share an adventure that I went on with my kids. I've always loved a road trip as I was growing up. My family did lots of road trips. I remember one in particular when I was about eight. We loaded in our 10-passenger van. There are a lot of us! We drove from Salt Lake City, Utah up through British Columbia. We went to the Althabaska glacier and we went to Vancouver and we went to Banff. I remember having a turquoise sweatshirt with a hummingbird on it (I think the hummingbird wasa little bit shiny, like oily looking) from Jasper, Canada.
There were lots of times growing up that we would pack up in the car and get on the road and go and we had the, you know, the old TV with the VCR, in the bottom of it. My dad would rig it so he could put a cooler in between the front two seats of the car and then put the TV on top of it and we would have like a box of, of movies. I keep wanting to say dvds, but they weren't. They were like actual vhs movies. He would bungee cord the TV on to the cooler so that it stayed in place so that as we were driving we could watch movies on the road because these are how long our road trips or and I loved it.
I loved the movies, the stretching out on the seats, they're reading. I was an avid reader. I still am and so I would read lots of books and see different places and get out to stretch our legs and get an ice cream at the gas station and it was really fun memories for me.
Road Trips with My Own Family
So naturally as I became a mom, road trips were something that just seemed like part of what we do. Part of the culture of our family. When my daughter Plum was six months old, that means if she was six months old than Elliot was three and Milo was five. So I had three kids under five.
I decided that for our summer break I wanted to go on a big road trip and visit my grandparents who lived in northern California and on the way I would see some friends in Las Vegas and then after visiting northern California I wanted to stop in southern California and then also visit some friends in Arizona all the way back to Texas. We lived in Austin at the time and this was just like a huge loop that I wanted to do. Dave was working at a law firm in Austin at the time and couldn't take four weeks off. That just wasn't in the books and so I said, "That's okay. You can come fly in and join us where it makes sense for you."
So we had like a little family reunion we were going to do in The Redwoods and I said, "Why don't you fly in and meet us there and then you can do, you know, a chunk of the trip with us and then you can fly back and keep working." He said, okay, "if you're up for it." And I was like, "Yeah, why not?" Like what could I not be up for taking all my kids on a four week, 8,000 mile road trip, no big deal.
7000 miles on the road.
We packed up, we got everyone in the car and we printed out a google map that showed our trip plan where we were going to drive and then along the way at the stops my kids and I would color in how far we had gone. That was a big adventure. I remember setting out and starting to drive and telling the kids "We have plenty of time. We can stop however often we need to. We don't have a specific itinerary that strict and so if you need to go to the bathroom, make sure you let me know. If you get tired, make sure you let me know."
And the way that I decided to approach the trip for maximum enjoyment for all was that we were going to just experience the adventure. We didn't know exactly what was going to happen. We didn't know how it was going to work out. I didn't know exactly where we would stay all along the road. I planned on at lunch breaks, just getting the hotels for the night or planning on what friends we would visit in the upcoming cities and so I had a fairly loose itinerary and I didn't really know exactly what was gonna happen and that was part of what made it feel relaxed because we could go at our own pace.
We stopped and ate ice cream on the side of the road about every three hours for the first couple of days. We made it up to Las Vegas where we saw some good friends and stayed with them for a night and then we continued up through the central Nevada corridor and I had never been in this part of Nevada. I remember long stretches of road with nothing but Joshua trees out the windows and pulling over and getting out so my kids could run around what we were calling Dr Seuss trees because I hadn't. I don't know that I had seen a Joshua tree before and they were so interesting to look at.
We saw a friend in Reno and then we went over the mountains and then we dropped down into Quincy, California. It is this tiny little town nestled in the hills of northern California where we spent a couple of days with my grandparents, Mama and Poppa who have since passed away. I am still so grateful that I took the chance that summer to just strike out with my kids and go spend some time with them.
We spent an afternoon at Buck's Lake and my kids went down and threw rocks in the water. I remember going on a walk around this tiny town with my grandmother who pointed out Sequoia trees that are older than the town itself in the regular neighborhoods. We just had the most wonderful time.
After spending a couple magical days with my grandparents, we got back on the road and headed down to meet the rest of the family for a family reunion in Sequoia National Park and King's Canyon. We spent a couple days there just marveling at the wonders of nature. These giants in the forest of California and then continued on south. We spent a day in southern California and it cut through Arizona, headed toward Phoenix where we were going to spend some time with some other family and friends. One particular event from this trip that I remember fondly was driving through Arizona and getting off to get gas, seeing on the side of the road, a big billboard for a place called Bearizona, which is very clever.
It was like a wildlife preserve in the mountains of Arizona. I had never heard of it before. I'd never looked it up. I was not intending to go there. We were simply getting off to get gas, but because we had the mindset of we have time, we're going to see what happens and enjoy the experience. I said, well, you know, this looks fun. Why don't we try this out?
So we drove over, followed the billboards to Bearizona. It was maybe $20 for our car to get in and we got to drive through the animal preserve. We saw bison and we saw wolves and we saw tons of bear and we saw all of these different animals. You know, it's one of those drive through parks and so we kept our windows rolled up, but all the kids climbed in the front seat and I put them on my lap and we just looked out the windows and just saw these incredible animals and then at the end of the driving tour you could pull in and actually go see where they're raising some of the bear.
There were baby bear climbing in the trees and then they had this whole exhibit of the teenage bear that were just, you know, working through some learning before they would be released into sort of the wildlife preserve. It was one of the most incredible experiences and my kids loved it. We all have these amazing memories of our time in Bearizona.
And it's striking for me to realize that if we had not been open to the experience, we would have missed it. It was one of our favorite parts of our entire road trip and if we had been in a hurry to go somewhere else or do something else, we would have missed it.
"Being open and staying curious is how we get to experience some of the most lovely pieces of life. That encompasses the idea of an adventure mindset."
Adventure Mindset
Without an adventure mindset the idea of spending four weeks in a car by yourself with a five year old, three year old and six month old is enough to make you think you're crazy. There is no way that that could be fun. With an adventure mindset, the idea of spending that time doesn't feel crazy. It feels exciting and it feels interesting because you know that you don't know what's going to happen and that's okay because you are excited to experience whatever comes with a little bit of curiosity and some interest knowing that you don't know what's gonna happen is part of the fun of adventure.
Applying Adventure Mindset to Everyday Life
Let's talk about applying an adventure mindset to everyday experiences. I talk a lot about adventure. I talk about it on my blog. I talk about it on the podcast. I talk about it in my store and my shop. I talk about it on instagram a lot and I think sometimes people get the idea that when I talk about adventure, I mean picking up and heading out on something like a four week road trip.
That's not what it means.
"When I talk about "adventure", I'm talking about approaching whatever happens in life with the idea that we don't know exactly how it's gonna work out and that's okay."
In fact, that's exciting and that can be fun. Adventure by its very nature means that something is about to happen. The root of the word, it goes back to the Latin word meaning about to happen. Something is coming and you don't know exactly what it is or exactly how it's gonna work out or exactly how it might feel or look, but isn't that true of life? Even if you have your trip all planned out to every detail, do you really know exactly how it's gonna go and one question further, does it actually always go according to plan?
My perspective is that we never really know exactly what is going to happen. Even with things that we have planned and you know down to the minute details, we don't know exactly what's going to happen, so if we can prepare ourselves with a mindset that is curious and excited about not knowing exactly what's going to happen or what's coming and having that be a positive thing, we will feel so much more fulfilled as we navigate what actually does happen. We will feel more able to cope with unexpected changes along the way.
The Five E's of Adventure Mindset
These are things that can be applied to hiking Mount Everest or taking a Whitewater raft down the Grand Canyon or they can be applied to taking your kids to the park or they can be applied to moving across town or across the country or they could be applied to an unexpected diagnosis for someone in the family and the mindset that you're going to put on in order to fully experience and enjoy the unexpected and unknown that is always coming your way in life.
1. Explore
You don't have to go very far to explore. You can explore ideas or concepts that you hadn't thought of. You could think of learning a new skill as an adventure rather than feeling down that you are not very good at it. You started a pottery class and you can't even get the clay to stand up on the wheel or you are trying to lose some weight and the gym feels like a foreign place to you and you don't really know. You know, it doesn't make you feel comfortable and so you don't really want to go.
The first E in adventure is explore. What happens when you explore? You are looking for things that you don't understand and learning about them. When you explore, you're tuned into the present moment. You're aware of your surroundings. You're looking for things that might be of interest and that might make an impact.
"The idea of exploring can be applied to any situation in your life. It opens you up with the understanding that you don't already know what is there because if you already knew what was there, you wouldn't have to explore."
So the first E and adventure being explore, means letting yourself know and accept that you don't know everything that you don't already know what's going to happen or what this is gonna look like, or you know how this is going to play out. Allow yourself to explore the circumstances of your life and you will be better prepared to approach them in a way that is fulfilling.
2. Experience
The second E in the adventure mindset is to experience…actually experience the thing that you're going through. I think the idea of a four week road trip with a five year old, three year old and six month old sounds terrible to a lot of people because it's easy to project all of the things that could possibly go wrong. Imagine just like lots of crying.
You don't experience something like that as a whole. You experience that moment by moment, an hour by hour and day by day. And this E, experience, means to keep yourself present in the moment. It's so much easier to approach a situation minute by minute, hour by hour and experience it presently, than it is to try to swallow something whole. Especially with tough experiences with tough unexpected news.
For example: right now our house is under construction during the holidays, very unexpected and instead of decorating and putting up my tree this week, I'm sitting in an airbnb managing estimates coming in and out. As a whole, backing up that feels like a kind of hard thing, but in the moment right here, right now I'm sitting here. I'm in a cozy chair. I'm recording this podcast, which is one of my very favorite things that I do every week and cozy. I've got comfortable clothes on. I had a great breakfast. My kids are off at school. My dog is down here laying here on the floor next to me.
This moment isn't terrible. This moment isn't overwhelming. This moment feels really good, so if we're able to use the second E to form adventure mindset and be present in the moment and experience it, we will find that life is so much more wonderful moment to moment than it is if we try to back it up and project all of our ideas onto it.
3. Enjoy
I think that we can enjoy any experience that we are having if we want to and some way sometimes we get to do it in creative ways. Years ago, I wrote a blog post about how I enjoy doing the laundry because doing the laundry is one of my least favorite tasks, but when I pair it with some other things that I do enjoy, all of the sudden it becomes more more fun. And so in the post I talk about listening to great music, now I listen to podcasts when I'm doing laundry, I'm watching a really fun show, having a treat next to me as I am folding and you can do things or add things to and experience to make it more enjoyable.
If you're thinking of how to create an adventure or have how to enjoy something more fully, that you may be a little bit apprehensive about, think of some of the things that you generally enjoy and add those to the experience and it will help you more fully enjoy it.
Add something you enjoy to your experience!
Maybe it's as simple as wearing your favorite shoes to an appointment that you're not very excited about. If you can pad some tricky experiences with creature comforts and things that you feel comfortable with and that you already do enjoy, then the whole experience becomes elevated. What are your very favorite things? How do you add those things to some of your experiences that are a little bit harder?
To use my four week road trip as an example, I really love eating in cool local restaurants. One of the things that I did in order to help that experience stay fun and exciting and enjoyable was to look at along what looked like it would be our route for the next day and find a little place, a little dive, or a hole in the wall that seemed like a really fun place to eat and we would add that to our itinerary and we'd pull in and I got to experience all of these really fun cafes and diners and little funny restaurants all along this route, throughout that whole section and we have some favorites and somewhere total misses and it was still hilarious because it was all part of the experience and so we built in some enjoyment.
If you can add some things to create enjoyment in whatever it is that you're going through, you will feel better about it.
4. Enthusiasm
What is enthusiasm? Gosh, it is such a powerful tool.
"Enthusiasm is simply positive energy."
It's bringing positive energy to whatever you're going through. Someone who is enthusiastic is looking forward to what's happening is excited and maybe not bouncing off the walls, but feeding positive energy into the experience.
Like a pirate, searching for a treasure chest has to have enthusiasm, because enthusiasm is what keeps her moving forward. Enthusiasm is that positive energy that propels us on toward the experience that's happening. And within the experience enthusiasm is searching for the good that can renew that positive energy.
I've talked several times in this podcast about optimism and about bringing positive energy to the tasks that you're doing. This is such an important part of cultivating an adventure mindset because none of these things I've talked about so far: Explore, Experience, Enjoy, and Enthusiasm. These things do not require that we have any prior knowledge to employ them. We don't have to know what's going on in order to explore experience and enjoy and do so within through with enthusiasm.
The truth is, we never really know exactly what's going on. If we start to tell ourselves that we have a very clear picture of the way that our life is gonna, look, tomorrow or the next day or a year from now, we're probably delusional. I don't know about you, but I look back over my entire life and I don't know that there's ever been something that went exactly according to plan something is always a little bit off of my expectation. That is why approaching life with this adventure mindset allows for such fulfillment because you release yourself from the expectation that is often unmet anyway.
"Prepare yourself for enjoying what happens, rather than wishing it were the way that you thought it was going to be."
5. Enterprise.
Enterprise is a word that means to be resourceful, innovative, use your imagination and your ingenuity. Enterprise means to find creative solutions to whatever your problem might be. An adventurer that uses enterprise is creative and resourceful.
Have you ever watched survivor? I haven't watched it very much, but I feel like I've lived survivor and a couple of my different jobs, ones that I've talked about in other episodes like being a river guide and being a wilderness counselor where you out like actually foraging for food. In some situations when you are on an adventure, you are consistently thinking of new ways to solve the problems that come up.
"When you are on an adventure, you are looking for tools, you're looking for the best resources, you're aware of what skills you possess and what things you can work on."
Using enterprise as a overall principle of this mindset puts us in a position to be creative looking for solutions. It turns us into problem solvers rather than problem creators and rather than just like sad mopers. We start to look for little loopholes and little tricks and little things that we can use to make the situation different or better or more likely want.
We've put on our hats that say, "I'm going to help with my ingenuity. I have skills that will actually make a difference in this situation." I'm going to employ them so enterprise feels really fun to me. It feels like no matter what comes our way, we're going to work it out.
Review of the Five E's of An Adventure Mindset
"Remember, having an adventure mindset doesn't only prepare you for climbing a tall mountain, although it does do that. It also prepares you to approach whatever happens in your life in a way that you feel more freedom and more fulfillment throughout the process."
Here are the five e's of an adventure mindset.
1. Explore. Stay curious and keep your eyes open as you approach a new adventure.
2. Experience. This means staying present and being aware of what is happening right now. Understanding that this moment is more a part of the experience than what has already happened or what's coming. This moment is what you have and you can experience it fully.
3. Enjoy. Find ways to enjoy whatever the experience is, whatever that adventure or the unexpected that comes your way is how can you add some things that you already know that you like to have the experience to make it even more enjoyable?
4. Enthusiasm. That positive energy that propels us forward and helps us to pay attention to all of the good things that are happening that we can use has further energy builders to get through the experience. Does that make sense? I love the idea of thinking of enthusiasm as seeking out energy, building within an experience that can continue to generate more energy and more enthusiasm.
5. Enterprise. This really wonderful word that sums up ingenuity and creativity and problem solving skills. When we approach our experiences with enterprise, we automatically put on the hat of wanting to creatively solve problems in a way that maybe hasn't been thought of before. Maybe approaching it a little differently than we might otherwise.
So those are the five e's of an adventure mindset. Now, I want you to just think for a moment in your life how you could choose one of these principles: Explore, Experience, Enjoy, Enthusiasm, Enterprise. How could you focus on one of these a little bit deeper in order to approach the unknown in your tomorrow, in your next month, in your next year with an adventure mindset?
"Can you see how by putting these principles on as your windbreaker and your hat and your hiking boots in your walking stick that you are prepared to think about your experiences in a different way. You are prepared with openness and with curiosity to approach whatever is happening as an adventure. You're better able to navigate the unexpected and unknown and sometimes undesirable things that come your way in life because you have simply flipped your perspective. You're not thinking about it as something terrible or something unwanted, but you're thinking about whatever it is as an adventure"
Teaching Our Kids To Have An Adventure Mindset
These are also really important principles to teach our kids. As my kids are approaching experiences that they're not super excited about, I try to help them use these principles.
For example, going to get a flu shot. How can we turn that experience into an adventure, into something that we can be open and curious about and problem solve? We know that it's going to hurt a little bit. How do we create an experience where we can enjoy it even if it hurts?
Maybe that's the cool band aid, maybe it's going to get a treat after immediate reading, a really fun book in the doctor's office and teaching our kids to use those skills as well.
"Sometimes there's going to be things in our lives that just suck, that are just crappy and that are sad and that are terrible and tragic and that's just the way that it is. Sometimes that's what is happening. That doesn't mean that we can't approach those same terrible situations with this same mindset and create something fulfilling out of them."
That's my message to you today as we head into what I hope is just a really wonderful adventurous Holiday season for you. I hope that you've gained something or that maybe your perspective has shifted a little bit in your head as I've talked through cultivating an adventure mindset with you and I hope now that when you hear me talk about "less stuff and more adventure", that you realized that that adventure can apply to you even if you're not outdoorsy and you don't want to go on road trips and you don't really want to take your kids even to the grocery store with you.
"More Adventure" is really just about your mind and the way that you approach things.

I made it! I haven't been able to write cause I have busy meeting new people, unpacking, touring heidebeek and the place where I sleep, and eating! I do not have wifi in the building that I live in, I only have wifi at the base which limits my time to contact everyone and to post anything. The people here are very welcoming and kind though. So far there are only 4 students. The rest come today around 2 and then one more guy tomorrow and he is from Indonesia.
I haven't eaten anything crazy yet. But they eat their main/hot meal for lunch. Dessert is at lunch as well and it's usually yogurt. Dinner is usually a bread meal. This could mean I will be coming back a bit larger haha.
The students, the scenery, and the buildings are very cool so far, and it hasn't rained yet. Everyone keeps saying its a beautiful day, but it seems normal for me for the sun to be out. Hopefully the beautiful sun doesn't go away too soon. I'm taking advantage of the sun right now and sitting at a picnic table at the base. I AM FREEZING.
I feel very welcomed here and I can tell I will feel like family in no time!

It's official! The holidays are over and it's time to clean up. Here are some cleaning suggestions from DealDash.
Everyone knows about spring cleaning, but a thorough cleaning in January just might be even more important. Your house is cluttered with old toys, new gifts, decorations, and more food than you can handle. Read these ideas from DealDash and then get started.
Put Away the Tree and Decorations
Start your new year by taking down the decorations from Christmas and trying to find their place. It's amazing how much more space you'll have when the decorations are put away. Next, look at downsizing a bit. You can throw away those decorations that are worn out.
Also, you should look at getting rid of some of your children's toys, and you should consider getting rid of some of your own toys as well. We all have those clothes, toys, or knickknacks that have seen better days. Consider donating the older stuff now that you have something new. I like to use the "1 in 1 out" rule at my house, and it can be a bit overwhelming with 3 kids and a giant pile of new toys and clothing.
Solutions for Cords and Cables
Consider having a set box for certain things. In our house, we have a box of a/v cords that we keep on hand. There may more than we need, but you never know when the cable you're using will short out. Whether it's your excess wrapping supplies, cords, or batteries, you can find a space to save them for the future without cluttering up the house. You can also pick a drawer in the kitchen, get a cutlery separator for it, and store your cords in the different sections.
Shampoo the Carpets and Clean the Vents
As we've been hosting Christmas over the years, we've found that January is the perfect time to shampoo the carpets. We opted to buy a shampooer, but you may prefer to just rent one. Either way, there's something almost therapeutic about watching the dirt slowly disappear from your carpet. As a result, the sense of pride and accomplishment as you see your carpet return back to its original color is amazing.
Also, if you're willing to do the deep cleaning, consider your vents and filters. It's not something that most people think about, but your air filters typically last about 3 months. The New Year is a good time to double-check how well your filters are holding up. While you're at it, consider the filters in your fridge and checking the batteries in your smoke detector.

"Don't let the stuff of life obscure the radiant light that shines from within you." ~ Terry A. Gordon
Rebecca Campbell is one of the most gifted artists I know. She makes exquisite dolls and assorted figures in a really unique, soft, inviting style. Over the years, you've seen me stalk her husband, David, with my camera, but he was ill during the Sorghum Festival. That meant poor Becs caught the lens. She said, "I thought it was some hunched over old woman sneaking up on me." "It was!" I replied. Thanks for playing, Rebecca. You're always a joy to run into.

While one market mystery is resolved, as bears finally capitulated resulting in $27.2BN in equity inflows last week, the second biggest equity inflows on record and reversing from 13 weeks of outflows thereby finally validating the relentless move higher in equities…
… others remain, chief among which is the unprecedented divergence between stocks and bonds, as markets increasingly price in QE4 .
Yet while that divergence appears to merely be a throwback to the market's POMO days as traders prepares for the Fed to launch QE4 sometime in 2020, many other frequent questions remain, among which Bank of America lists the following"
- What is the "tale of the tape"?
- Where are the "green shoots"?
- Who is buying equities?
- When should we sell?
- What's the most vulnerable crowded trade?
- Why are bond yields stubbornly low?
Answering these in sequences, and commenting on this ongoing "resilience of risk assets", which has seen minimal "profit-taking" on US-China trade truce news, poor Asian export data, and the ECB's recent capitulation, BofA's CIO Micharl Hartnett addresses the first question…
What is the Tale of the tape
… and answers it simply: the "pain trade" is still up for one main reason: with new highs in IG & HY bond prices, new lows in volatility (the record drop in the MOVE index), all this shows that central banks are "all-in", even though markets are not yet willing to trade the "policy impotence".
Some other tape revelations: even as cyclical lead indicators remains mixed: e.g. XBD, XHB, SOX, KOSPI/ChiNEXT treading water on weak macro; global banks are close to new '19 highs. Meanwhile emerging markets are showing cracks: China & India aside, "short US$, long EM" consensus under pressure, while at the same time the rally is reversing in "high-yielding" EM FX (PHP, IDR, BRL, ZAR, TRY).
Where are the "green shoots"?
Looking at the big picture, there are no "green shoots" to be found with BofA's global EPS model forecast now plunging from -2% to -10% on "dire Asian exports & global PMI deterioration" in February; this is a far cry from the analyst consensus of 1% EPS growth in 2019. Meanwhile, as we discussed recently, both the Japan and Eurozone economies remain in recession although the silver lining is that BofA's European Composite Macro Indicator has finally stabilized after 12 consecutive months of decline.
Meanwhile, there are plenty of "green shoots" in China, where both M1 & new orders rose in Feb for 1st time in 9 months, March (first 20 days) exports up 39% & electricity usage +11%; The cherry on top: Jan-Feb investment at state-owned enterprises rose 6%, first big increase in 2 years.
Putting all this together, Hartnett reaches the same conclusion as Morgan Stanley, namely that Q1 is the low for global macro data, while downside risk for growth is more likely from US where consensus sees Q2 GDP bounce to 3% from 1% in Q1. This is also the bogey: should Q2 EPS come in <2%, the risk rally would end. Yet even the US has some good news, namely US survey data which stabilized in Feb and is correlated and consistent with at least 2-3% US growth.
Which brings us to the next frequently asked question…
Who is buying equities?
While we answered this question previously, it is gratifying to see that BofA reaches the same conclusion as us. The bank frames the problem as follows: global stocks are up 11% YTD despite $46BN of equity outflows YTD and the BofAML Fund Manager Survey showing drop in asset allocation to global stocks.
So if investors aren't (or at least weren't until this week) buying stocks, who is? The answer: 3 buyers:
- Buybacks: 286bn buybacks YTD (vs. $197bn same period last year);
- Institutional buyers of call options: US equity index delta adjusted open interest $544bn, near YTD highs (Chart 5);
- Retail investors via single stocks: $13.2bn buying YTD from BofAML GWIM data (vs. $5.7bn selling same period last year).
So now that we know who is buying, the next obvious question is…
When Should we Sell?
BofA here has a simple answer: when the BofAML Bull & Bear Indicator moves above 8. There are three drivers that would push the indicator toward "excess bullishness" in the next 4-6 weeks:
- equity inflows >$50bn next 4 weeks
- March BofAML Fund Manager Survey (Tuesday 19th) showing cash levels of <4.5%, equity allocation up from 6% to >30%
- CTFC hedge fund positioning >0.5sd long risky assets (vs. neutral today)
If that is not enough, here is a second answer: when the combo of higher US unemployment claims & higher credit spreads indicate the onset of recession & debt deflation; or when combo of higher Treasury yields & lower US dollar indicate inflation & Fed policy mistake.
To be sure, with the Fed telegraphing "pause" and soon, QE, the moments of selling is still over the horizon. But one doesn't have to be exposed to the market to get hurt – just being part of the most crowded trade could lead to far more pain, and far sooner. So…
What's the most vulnerable crowded trade?
Here the answer is simple: emerging market debt and equity: in the February edition of the BofA Fund Manager Survey, the most crowded trade was "long EM"; since it was released, the price return of EM debt 0.4%, of EM equity 0.3%. And in case that point needs to be underscored, Hartnett notes that "historic returns from month of "most crowded trade" poor, e.g. FAANG+BAT stocks after Aug'18, Bitcoin after Dec'17, US dollar after Jan'17.
And with these five questions down, one last puzzle keeps BofA clients up at night, namely:
Why are bond yields stubbornly low?
The answer: easy central bank policy & still-falling global consensus GDP/EPS/interest rate forecasts best explanation why bond yields low. And here Hartnett makes a bigger point:
this is no normal cycle; yields are lower than they would normally be because policy makers in Japan & the Eurozone are completely out of monetary ammunition from a longer-term perspective, Chinese policy makers are targeting lower and rebalanced growth over the medium-term, and future Fed cuts are likely to prove less potent given level of US corporate debt; thus the message from government bonds remains a world where structural deflation continues to be the primal backdrop to financial markets.
Those traders who correctly figure out how to trade this massive disconnect – the structural deflation as hinted by bonds on one hand, and asset price inflation as stocks scream every day – will make a lot of money in 2019.

Nandha Kumar Sekar is now a permanent Delhi Dynamos player for the highest transfer fee in Indian Football.
Indian Super League outfit Delhi Dynamos on Wednesday completed a permanent transfer of winger Nandhakumar from I-League side Chennai City FC. The 22-year old was initially signed on a loan deal at the start of the season, but following his impressive performances, the club has opted to sign the Chennai lad on a long-term contract.
Nandha has made five appearances for Dynamos this season and the youngster has made the left wing position his own following some commanding displays, most notably the 2-2 draw against Chennaiyin F.C. where he provided the assist for the first goal.
"I am delighted to have signed a permanent deal with Delhi Dynamos. The club and coach Portugal have believed in me and my game has gone from strength to strength over the past few months. I am hoping to give my best not just this season, but in the coming seasons as well," an ecstatic Nandha said.
"Nandha has impressed us all with the effort he puts in training day-in-day-out. He is a quick learner and is someone who fits in perfectly well to my style of play here at Dynamos," Coach Miguel Angel Portugal said.
While he is yet to find the back of the net for Dynamos, what has stood out about Nandha has been his determination both while going forward and helping out the defense. The winger has provided cover in the left back position when needed and his blistering pace has caused trouble to the opposition defense when going forward.

"We are delighted that a boy from Chennai is making it big in the ISL. Delhi Dynamos have shown faith in Nandha and they are now reaping rewards. We at Chennai City wish him luck and hope he goes onto achieve bigger things in the future," Chennai City FC owner Rohit Ramesh said.
Khel Now sources confirm that the Delhi outfit has paid a near about ₹23,00,000 as the transfer fee for the 22-year old Indian prospect to Chennai City FC.

VW is um... still making the Microbus?
Just how long has the VW Microbus been around? People have almost definitely driven to watch teams from Cleveland win championships in them. A bunch of people grew up riding in them, became hippies in them, then discarded them entirely after coming to the conclusion that "greed is good" in them. Now that the Microbus is slated for extinction, Volkswagen is giving it one final hurrah, with the Kombi Last Edition.
Like its 1957 predecessor, it has all the sleek, aerodynamic lines of an ACME brick; as part of the KLE package, every one's painted in white and blue, and comes with whitewall tires. It's much, much faster than the original, however, owing to the fact that it's got 78 horsepower under the hood... er, coming from the motor.
Step inside, and it's every bit as plush and luxurious as the original wasn't. It only comes in a manual, and the seats are covered in
1960s drug paraphernalia two tone vinyl to match the outside.
Massive radio upgrades though: USB input and MP3 playback. Plus, they're only making 600 KLEs, so that panel above the radio states which exact one you're in.
Of course it has curtains, making it officially the only van with curtains in the history of the world that isn't entirely creepy.
RIP Microbus. Tell Jerry Garcia hello.

Can you imagine being incredibly wealthy yet not knowing how to access your wealth?
This may be our case spiritually speaking. In Ephesians 3:8, Paul uses a wonderful phrase: the unsearchable riches of Christ. Jesus Christ is unsearchably rich in who He is and in all His accomplishments, and He wants us to enjoy all He is and has.

How To Reduce PDF file size using ColorSync in OSX Lion
Here is a quick guide to reduce the file size of a PDF using the built-in (FREE) Preview and ColorSync App's that come with OSX.
This will work with older versions of OSX (10.3-10.6) as well. In fact it works better there as you don't need to manually copy the Filter to the core library for it to work (i.e. Part 2) !
Part 1
1) Open the Color Sync utility. You can find it in the utilities sub-folder in the main Applications Folder
2) Click on the "Filters" tab at the top.
3) Now right-click the small triangle (white in grey circle) on the right of the "Reduce File Size" and select "Duplicate"
4) A "Reduce File Size Copy" should now appear. Expand the sub menus for this profile and increase the image sampling Scale and image compression, to a higher value.
NB: I suggest making a few duplicates with different increased levels so that you can pick the best settings for your particular needs, and don't forget to give these useful names to help easily distinguish them !
Part 2 (OSX Lion 10.7 ONLY)
5) Locate your User Library Folder (Hidden by default in Lion, here is a guide to un hide it), which you can find here "Your Hard drive">Users>"Your User Name">Library>Filters
6) Then locate the Filters Folder and copy (cmd+c) the "Reduce file size copy" or what ever name you gave your filter to the root Library>PDF Services folder (cmd+v)
Final Step
7) Now open up your PDF of interest (or any file for that matter) with Preview. Select "Export" from the file menu
8) Select "PDF as the Format, and then you can select your Modified Filter from the drop down Quartz Filter menu
9) Choose a new name and place if you like for you new optimized PDF and hit SAVE.
10) Open your new PDF and check that your happy with the results, and the file size. If not play with the setting and repeat the above steps until you get it right !
Enjoy 🙂

By: WANJIRU MACHARI
Nakuru residents have termed last week's continental award for the controversial free Wi-Fi project a slap in the face, as they were yet to benefit from the multi-million shilling initiative.
The project scooped the prize during the Africom Awards in Cape Town last Wednesday after beating other contenders in the 'Changing Lives' category.
Residents wondered whether the award organisers went to the ground to establish if the project was actually changing lives.
Mr Bernard Kamau said the free Wi-Fi only worked in about three small hotspots in the town and inside Afraha Stadium.
"I am seated just outside Afraha Stadium where Bilawaya cable passes through and I am not in range, the service is not available. The award is a slap in the face of Internet users in Nakuru town," said Mr Kamau.
Ms Joan Nyaboke said the project was not effective yet more than Sh200 million was spent on it.
Members of Nakuru East Whatsapp group and several others took to social media to condemn the award, saying it was given based on misleading information.
The Nakuru Wi-Fi Bilawaya project is an initiative involving the county government, Liquid Telecom Kenya and the Presidential Strategic Communications Unit-Digital.
The award recognises initiatives that have significantly impacted African communications in the community and contributed to economic and social development.
The project won the award despite the controversies surrounding it, including a pending court case, since it was launched on March 30 last year.
A day after it was launched, the Wi-Fi malfunctioned, compelling the county government to involve Liquid Telcom following protests by residents.
Speaking after the awards, Governor Kinuthia Mbugua thanked Nakuru residents for their patience.
"I would like to thank Nakuru residents for their patience after the bad start to this very important initiative," he said.

2019 Spring Show String
The 2019 show season is gearing up, and after a quick Christmas visit to Mom's barn, I'm happy to report that Quarry Ridge will have plenty of rabbits to fill the classes at our favorite shows. Though most of the does that attended the ARBA Convention in Massachusetts have been bred, some of the younger Foxes will continue on the show trail through the next big competition--PASRBA! The first major convention of the year, the Pennsylvania State Rabbit Breeders Association Convention in Mom's hometown of Lebanon, Pennsylvania, is the BIGGEST rabbit show on the east coast. It's held every February, and despite the inevitable snow and sleet, hundreds of breeders brave the elements, bringing their newest show entries to test the waters before tackling Spring Nationals. If there was an official rabbit Triple Crown for east coast breeders, PASRBA Convention would be the first jewel in that crown.
Depending on her coat quality leading up to the big weekend, it looks like Somme will get another crack at winning a Fur title. I'm hoping that Legacy can make a repeat on the Best in Show front (Silver Fox have never been competitive on that front at PASRBA, maybe this year is the year?) The big honcho himself, Ray of Light, is also looking prime for a return to glory. I'm sure he would like to contest the other bucks for a Best in Breed award, so he'll likely make the trip up North. But, to me, it will be the debut of the four following summer babies that will be the most interesting QR entries. I have a feeling that they're going to do quite well!
Funck's Makito
I'm not afraid to be biased--this boy is my favorite. He looks so much like a clone of Pierce, it's uncanny. The only difference is that this boy has Midori's super fur gene. Makito was shown once this past Fall before Convention at a local show, and was awarded a BOS leg as a very young junior. Now, he's even more filled out and is looking to make an impact at PASRBA. His type is my preference of style--rounded and full to the table with no sharp peaks over the hip. He still has a month to put on more muscling over his loin, so he'll start his morning exercise regimen just like our past champion bucks completed--play time hopping in the garden!

Sanford, FLHome Menu
FAQ Surcharge Program
Q: What is the Surcharge program?
A: The Surcharge Program is mandated via City Ordinance #4315, Chapter 102, Article IX, Division 5, Section 102-373 (h) https://www.municode.com/library/fl/sanford/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=PTIICOOR_CH102UT_ARTIXSEUSDIRE_DIV5OIGRPRPR and states that a surcharge may be assessed by the City against any user for any discharge of abnormally high strength wastes including carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (CBOD), total suspended solids (TSS), Oil and Grease (O&G) and pH (high and low ranges). All facilities with an appropriate sampling point that are regulated under the Oil and Grease Prevention Program (O&GPP) are automatically regulated under the Surcharge Program
A: The Program was created to recover the costs of treating high strength wastes directly from the facility that discharged them. Samples are collected on a yearly basis and tested for four different parameters. These three parameters (CBOD, TSS, O&G and pH) are very costly to remove during the wastewater treatment process which raises the costs for the Utility Department and each user of the sanitary sewer system.
A: CBOD is carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand and is a measure of the amount of oxygen depletion as a result of microbes digesting organic carbon compounds such as solids and oil and grease. CBOD is typically suspended in the wastewater while the other two parameters (TSS and O&G) are typically trapped in the pretreatment device. High CBOD equates to less oxygen in the wastewater and more work for the City's pretreatment plant. Typical sources of CBOD at a facility are solids discharged down sink drains and other fixtures as well as human waste. The pretreatment device removes some of these solids but since CBOD is typically suspended in wastewater it is impossible for all CBOD to be removed. The best way to maintain low CBOD levels is to prevent the discharge of solids all together by using sink strainers, floor drain covers, scraping plates/pots/pans prior to washing and using soaps that contain minimal solids/organics. Additionally, your pretreatment device and sampling point should be cleaned on a regular scheduled basis.
TSS is totals suspended solids and is the total suspended matter that floats on the surface or is suspended in the wastewater and Is removable by filtering at the laboratory. Typical sources of TSS at a facility are solids discharged down sink drains and other fixtures as well as human waste. The pretreatment device should remove most of these solids. The best way to maintain low TSS levels is to prevent the discharge of solids all together by using sink strainers, floor drain covers, scraping plates/pots/pans prior to washing and using soaps that contain minimal solids/organics. Additionally, your pretreatment device and sampling point should be cleaned on a regular scheduled basis.O&G is oil and grease and are either liquid or solid materials composed of primarily fatty matter from animal of vegetable sources or petroleum based hydrocarbons. Typical sources of O&G at a facility are oils, greases and petroleum hydrocarbons discharged down sink drains and other fixtures as well as human waste. The pretreatment device removes most of these oils, greases and hydrocarbons. The best way to maintain low O&G levels is to prevent the discharge of oils and greases all together by scraping plates/pots/pans prior to washing and ensuring that your pretreatment device is cleaned on time and on a regular basis. Additionally, your sampling point should also be cleaned on a regular scheduled basis.
pH is a figure expressing the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. Acidic items can range from battery acid to orange soda, and alkaline items are usually cleaning items like bleach or Lysol. pH has a value that ranges from pH 1-14 with a pH 7 being neutral. A pH value below 7 is considered acidic with increasing acidity the lower the number is, and a pH above 7 is considered alkaline with increasing alkalinity the higher the number is. Both sides of the extremes are very bad for the health of the sewer system. The City of Sanford has a pH range of 5-9. Anything above or below that range can damage the sewer system. To prevent this, chemicals should be properly disposed of, and food items shouldn't be washed down the drain.
A: Most O&GPP facilities are regulated under the program. When an O&GPP facility with existing infrastructure is initially added to the program, the City's Environmental Coordinator attempts to locate a representative sample point that receives flow from the pretreatment device (grease trap, grease interceptor, oil water separator) as well as all other sources of wastewater onsite. If a new O&GP program facility is being constructed in the City, they are required to construct a representative sample point. Typical sample point types include a sample manhole, a lift station, a cleanout, a sanitary manhole or a sample port.
A: Yes. O&GPP customers with a representative sample point must pay sampling administrative, sampling analysis and any applicable surcharge fees. These fees are applied directly to the Utility account.
A: The surcharge fees are based on the metered water usage, cost of treating the wastewater, and on the amount by which the maximum concentration level was exceeded.
A: The Surcharge Program is required by City Ordinance and all facilities that qualify must comply with program requirements. The City of Sanford conducts field surveys on a routine basis to ensure all facilities within City limits are in compliance with the ordinance.
Q: What happens if a facility does not comply with the Surcharge Program requirements?
A: The City makes every effort to maintain working partnerships with the regulated facilities and commercial users, valuing information and compliance over enforcement as the best way to achieve mutually beneficial economic and environmental goals. However, if a user remains non-compliant, that user will be subject to enforcement action. The City utilizes a progressive enforcement response plan, with actions ranging from Notices of Violation (NOV) and citations to sewer or water service termination.
Q: How do I know if I need to be regulated under the Surcharge program?
A: Most customers who are required to be permitted under the O&GPP must also participate in the surcharge program if a representative sample point is available. The City's Environmental Coordinator educates O&GPP customers on the Surcharge program when they are initially permitted and yearly thereafter.
A: For more information please contact the Environmental Coordinator at 407 688-5000 ext. 5512

Primal Burn Review – Lose Fat Like a Caveman
Primal Burn Review – Description
If you've been trying to lose weight for a long time now but you're failing at it at every turn, then perhaps you should try to read up on this Primal Burn review and see if Ken Burge's product will prove to be the most effective one amongst all the weight loss products you've tried over the years. Obesity is a serious problem that needs to be addressed. It's the leading cause of heart ailments, hypertension, and diabetes. It's also not pleasing to look at, which is why obesity causes many people to lose their self-esteem. A weight-loss program that you can stick with could be just the solution you sorely need. To find out if Primal Burn is the product that can do that for you, continue reading up on this Primal Burn review.
This Primal Burn Review now breaks down the product's features:
- Utilizes the principles behind the tried-and-tested Paleo diet
- Contains tips and advice on the specific meals one should eat in order to stick with the Paleo diet
- Following this weight loss program can prevent diseases related to obesity such as hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease

How Does Primal Burn Work?
Skip Reading And Access Course Now!
Do you want to know how the Primal Burn program can shed off the unwanted weight? Allow this Primal Burn review to explain. Primal Burn is an eBook that helps people lose weight using the Paleo burn method. The name is based on the Paleolithic age when the only food groups that were available to keep animals and humans alive were fruits and vegetables. By sticking to these food groups in your daily diet, you can finally shed off all the unwanted weight you've been trying to lose for so long. The book comes with a plethora of suggestions on what you should be eating along with specific recipes that have minimal amounts of fat, sugar, and glycogen.
Also, processed foods are avoided at all costs. Processed foods are made by humans, and it goes without saying that processed foods like rice, bread, and canned fruits didn't exist in the Paleolithic period. Foods that are fresh and readily available in nature are the ones that are highly recommended. Of course, that doesn't mean that you can't apply your culinary skills in preparing meals. There's just lesser cooking involved since that can cause the food to lose some of its nutrients and even add chemicals that can be harmful to your body.
Once you get into the Primal Burn program, expect to become fatigued for a couple of weeks. Why is this so? It's because your body was more used to using carbohydrates for fuel which is something that you're getting in small amounts once you've started on the Primal Burn program. Instead, your body adjusts and starts to burn fat instead which should deal with obesity right away. Once your body gets used to fat as its new source of energy, you should feel rejuvenated after a couple of weeks.

Pros and Cons
The Primal Burn eBook uses tried-and-tested methods that can really help one lose a lot of weight. The Paleo diet already has a good track record as far as helping people lose weight is concerned.
The method used is all natural since you don't need to take in chemicals in the process. The eBook has good presentation and really explains in full detail why the tips and techniques work.
This is no surprise given the author's extensive background in business marketing. There's not much side effects involved in the diet program aside from the temporary fatigue that you'll feel in the first few weeks.
As far as cons go, this Primal Burn review finds it a bit curious that the creator doesn't have any extensive background on health and fitness. Most of the information in the eBook can also be seen on the internet. While that may be the case, the eBook presents its information in a streamlined manner.
Primal Burn review – Conclusion
Primal Burn is an eBook that has real merit when it comes to helping people lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle. The book is extremely well-written and discusses really well the treasure trove of knowledge that constitutes the Paleo diet program. While the things discussed in the book don't break any new ground, it has streamlined the body of knowledge involved in the program in a manner that can easily be understood by the majority. If you want to lose fat the natural way, this Primal Burn review can't recommend this product enough.
