2017-2018 Federal Budget Announcement
In the Federal Budget announcement on Tuesday 9th May 2017, some further changes that will affect superannuation, were released. Below you will find a summary of those changes that will potentially impact Super SA's schemes and products.
You can also find further information via the links below to Treasury's fact sheets.
Please note that the announcements are proposals only and will not be final until legislation is passed.
First Home Super Saver Scheme (FHSSS)
Super SA schemes/products affected: Flexible Rollover Product and Super SA Select
In a move aimed at helping first home buyers build a housing deposit, the Federal Government has proposed to allow voluntary contributions to super funds to be withdrawn for the purposes of buying a first home.
The Scheme is designed to allow first home buyers to make voluntary contributions to their super to build a deposit for their first home. Contributions (via salary sacrifice) of up to $15,000 can be made each year and up to a total of $30,000 withdrawn when required, from 1 July 2018, subject to the terms and conditions of the FHSSS.
Where a couple is involved, both partners are treated as individuals for the purposes of the maximum amounts they are eligible to salary sacrifice for the First Home Super Saver Scheme.
Draft legislation is not yet released on the Government's proposed First Home Super Savers Scheme. However, the Scheme will be administered by the Australian Taxation Office.
Further information is available from the Federal Government Treasury factsheet.
This option is not open to members of untaxed schemes, such as Triple S.
Effective: 1 July 2017 First Home Super Saver Scheme Factsheet
Contributing the proceeds of downsizing into superannuation
Super SA schemes/products affected: Super SA Flexible Rollover Product
Retirees aged 65 and over who downsize their homes will be able to contribute up to $300,000 of the proceeds into superannuation as a non-concessional (post-tax) contribution. This will be allowed in addition to existing super rules and caps including the total super balance cap of $1.6 million. The measure is exempt from the work test however it will not be exempt from the $1.6 million transfer balance cap (which limits the amount of money you can put into a pension phase account where the earnings are tax free).
Effective: 1 July 2018 Reducing barriers to downsizing Factsheet
Reinstatement of pensioner concession card
Earlier this year, some pensioners affected by the changes to the age pension assets test taper rate lost their Pensioner Concession Cards. Changes announced in this budget reinstate pension cards for those affected.
Effective: Immediately
New Financial Complaints Authority for consumers
The Government is proposing one-stop External Dispute Resolution (EDR) scheme to replace the Financial Services Ombudsman, the Credit and Investments Ombudsman and the Superannuation Complaints Tribunal. Importantly, the Government has stated that the existing statutory protections applying to superannuation disputes will still continue.
Effective: 1 July 2018
This article is current as at 10 May 2017.
These recent Federal Budget announcements are in addition to the Budget changes legislated previously for introduction as at 1 July 2017.
This article was prepared for the use of member funds of Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees.

Let ABCD be a convex quadrilateral, and let M and N be the midpoints of sides \(\overline{AD}\) and \(\overline{BC}\), respectively. Prove that \(MN \le (AB + CD)/2\). When does equality occur?
Let P be the midpoint of diagonal \(\overline{BD}\). What does the triangle inequality tell you about triangle M N P?
\(Consider\;\; \triangle BDC\;\;and\;\;\triangle BPN\\ \angle PBN=\angle DBC \;\qquad common\;\;angle\\ \frac{\overline{ BD}}{\overline{BP}}=\frac{\overline{ BC}}{\overline{BN}}=2\\ \therefore \triangle BPN \sim \triangle BDC\\ \qquad \text{One equal angle and leg lengths from it in the same ratio.}\\ So \;\;\overline{DC}=2 \cdot \overline{PN} \qquad \text{ corresponding sides in similar triangles with a dilation factor of 2}\)
Using the same logic with \(\triangle APD\;\; and\;\; \triangle MPD\) it can be shown that
\(\overline{AB}=2\cdot \overline{MP} \).
I have to continue on a second post because it is not displaying properly.
\( \text{Now consider the points MPN, these points either form a triangle or they are collinear}\\ \text{If they form a line then MP+PN=MN}\\ \text{If they from a triangle then use this fact:}\\ \text{In any triangle the sum of any 2 side lengths must be longer than the third side.}\\ So\;\; \\ {MP}+{PN} \ge{MN}\\ 2 {MP}+2{PN}\ge2{MN}\\ AB+CD\ge2MN\\ 2MN\le AB+CD\\ MN \le \frac{AB+CD}{2} \)
There can only be an equality if P lies on the line MN in which case there is no triagle MPN and the the quadrilateral ABCD must be a trapezium (Australian definition, I think Americans call it a trapezoid) where \(AB \| DC\)

Emmy Nominee Dylan Baker
Thirteen Seasons at Williamstown Theatre Festival
By: Charles Giuliano - Jul 11, 2010
A lot has happened for the affable Dylan Baker since we spoke last year. He directed The Torch Bearers in 2009.
He took a break from rehearsing Our Town to meet with me in the lobby of the '62 Center of the Williamstown Theatre Festival.
Just the day before he was nominated for an Emmy Award for his fascinating role as an accused killer in the hit TV show The Good Wife. He also appeared in several episodes of Ugly Betty during the Fall and on Broadway in God of Carnage for four months during the Spring. That show closed in time to participate in his 13th season in Williamstown.
Dylan is a warm and charming guy. There is an easy and engaging smile. It is a paradox that consistently he is cast as a villain.
I tried to jump start the interview by opening with a curve ball. Hurling a bit of chin music to brush him off the plate. It didn't work as he effortlessly stepped out of the batter's box.
Charles Giuliano, You're such a bastard.
Dylan Baker (Smiles): The question is did I kill my wife? The Good Wife is a chance to see that even though this guy was skeevey and sort of oily.
CG Levantine?
DB A Levantine kind of guy who had his pleasures. Hey they were not in the main stream but he is devoid of guilt. He is able to find a balance in the relationship with his wife. They were both happy, and she left him free to pursue the course of what he did. I still don't know if he killed his wife. In that second episode that's when he confessed to it but it has more to do with getting her reaction (The lawyer Julianna Margulies as Mrs. Florrick) than an actual confession. What good would it do to confess? Would he do it for his own pleasure? He likes his lawyer. He likes to give her a rise. He is attracted to her.
CG Sexually?
DB Probably not. She's not his type. Julianne Marguiles plays the lawyer Alicia Florrick. Peter Florrick is named after Dann Florek an actor and director in Law and Order. The character was named after him.
CG Did you meet Chris Noth, who plays Peter Florrick, on the set?
DB Chris and I were at grad school together for two years at Yale. Every day I was on the set, he was off, and every day he worked I was off. So we never saw each other.
CG On The Good Wife you play a complex and evil character with a lot of nuances. Perhaps that's why you have been nominated for an Emmy Award.
DB The thing about that character that appeals to me is that I can find a positive side of these questionable ethics and moral convictions. That's interesting to me. It's a contradiction. It is such a negative that people see a bad guy and see just the bad. As an actor you can see a good side to the character even though an audience might not see it.
CG How do you develop such a character? Is it method? Is there a part of the character in you? Do you dig deep into your inner feelings to find the role?
DB Say there is a character that I am developing. I can't study a murderer because he is already found guilty. All you would find is a guy whom society has already called bad. What I need to find is an innocent guy who still thinks himself incapable of being bad. I find all of that inside myself. Inside yourself you are capable of all kinds of the most despicable things. But once the job is over you just take a shower and all that despicable stuff just goes away.
CG You're bullshitting me.
DB (With a sincere smile) No, I'm not. I have a friend at Yale, and her pre show exercise was a cigarette and a cup of coffee. Every actor has a different technique for getting ready.
CG What was the teaching technique at Yale? Did it entail Method Acting or was it a more classical approach?
DB I'm not method. I never quite understood that. Yale was more about experiencing lots of different kinds of plays with different directors and very little time. So you had to create on the run. That mirrors life. When you do get a job finally there is no time to make something happen.
CG Did you do classical theatre, the Greeks and Shakespeare?
DB Greek no. But much Shakespeare when I was younger. Around 1978. I went through about three seasons of summer Shakespeare. There were three Shakespeare shows per summer with the occasional Our Town thrown in. As a professional I directed and acted in NY Shakespeare a couple of times. What drove me to do that was the notion that if you can act in Shakespeare you can act in anything.
CG What about the craft? As an actor how do you keep improving? What keeps you sharp?
DB Once I was done with Yale I have avoided any more classroom training. I had done quite a few plays before grad school. Those three years and subsequent summers at Williamstown Theatre Festival really brought together all my thinking and technique about acting to go forward in a professional way.
CG There seems to be a generational phenomenon that students and young artists today are not interested in the basics. If you try to teach them the classics or critique them the response is that you are repressing their freedom. Their primary focus is on expressing themselves. Even though they don't have much to say, and limited skill in conveying richness of nuance and feelings.
DB One teacher we had in the second year of grad school taught Shakespeare. He started us on sonnets. It's true that it would be hard to find young actors today with the patience to work on a sonnet as hard as we did. Because the gain is not immediate. It is not a fast learning experience.
CG How do you maintain and enhance your skills?
DB By going back to the stage. If I just did TV and film I would loose a lot of the tools I gained along the way. It is self sustaining. For me it is a process of learning and performing a part, working with other actors, and different directors.
CG This season I saw you in God of Carnage. How many times have you been on Broadway?
DB God of Carnage was my fifth play on Broadway .
CG You took over an established role. Have you initiated any?
DB The other four times I initiated the role. . First was Eastern Standard by Richard Greenberg (1988). It ran a few months. Then David Hirson's La Bete (1991). It is being revived by Matthew Warchus who won a Tony for directing God of Carnage. Then l did Mauritius by Theresa Rebeck. In 2008 I was in David Mamet's November with Nathan Lane and Laurie Metcalf.
CG Is there anything coming up?
DB Just blissful unemployment. How did Paul McCarntney put it? Nowhere to go.
CG This is just about where we ended when we talked last summer. You were about to head to Hollywood.
DB (Tries to recall) Last year ended up going to Hollywood? I got a phone call to do a few episodes of Ugly Betty. That got me through the fall and then two episodes of The Good Wife in winter. And God of Carnage in the Spring.
CG The role in The Good Wife got you nominated for an Emmy for Guest Actor in a Drama Series.
DB The Good Wife received eight nominations.
CG Once again you were a villain. In this case a very charming sociopath. You managed to get off the charges of murdering your wife. In the second episode Alicia Florrick, your attorney, is called to your home in the middle of the night. You manage to destroy evidence in her presence. There has been rough sex and the woman has been stabbed. You claim in self defense. Although yet again on trial for murder you seem to take pleasure in tantalizing Alicia. There appears to be reckless disregard that you are facing the death penalty. Nothing seems to ruffle your arrogant and self-absorbed persona. Just how did you develop such a richly nuanced character?
DB I felt like the writers for The Good Wife gave me a blue print in the first episode. As I did scenes and they saw daily's the writing became richer in the direction we were taking the character. Later scenes had a bit of this or that added to it.
CG The Good Wife has wonderful acting and fascinating characters. When the series first aired in the fall I was undecided about whether to continue watching. Julianna Marguiles seemed like such a cold and unappealing character. But in subsequent episodes she became ever more complex. You watched her making tough decisions, defending her family, dealing with trying to succeed in jump starting her career. She is forced back to work because her politician husband is in jail. He has been unfaithful, and she is unclear on whether to continue supporting him. There are so many nuances as the series evolved. The more amazing as this is a network show. Not HBO. It seems we have come a long way from Law and Order or NY PD Blue.
DB On TV where you can write something with an arc over several years, it is now more interesting than a film that is finished in two years. But, to me, it doesn't compare with the stage where classical playwrights or good modern playwrights give you amazing journeys that are yours for two hours that night.
CG One of those playwrights you have worked with has been David Mamet. Can you describe that experience?
DB The Mamet character was a setup man for Nathan Lane. I relished that opportunity. He is an old friend I knew along with the director Joe Mantello. I was able to get my share of laughs on the same stage with Nathan Lane. Which is not easy, because when Nathan took a part in November he hit a grand slam ever night.
CG This past season I saw you in God of Carnage on Broadway with Lucy Liu. Even though it was last year's play, with a number of cast changes. It seems that there was a new cast every month. I wanted to see you. I knew of the play but not in detail before seeing it. The physical comedy and mayhem was amazing. But I was upset to see those beautiful tulips flying all over the set. What a waste of flowers. All fueled by that designer tequila.
DB Rum. The original cast of God of Carnage stayed until November and after the holidays took a break. James Gandolfini had a commitment to a film. The second cast performed for four months and our cast remained for four months. The play is closed now. People like Janet McTeer, Jeff Daniels, and Lucy Liu often can only commit to four months. Lucy Liu had never been on Broadway before Carnage.
CG Overall I was surprised and impressed by her performance. When the tulips were flying she held her own in the frantic physical comedy. You are back in Williamstown to appear in Our Town directed by Nicholas Martin. You mentioned doing the play in summer stock. How many times have you done Our Town?
DB This is my third production of Our Town. I did it in 1982 in Camden, Maine. I played Sam Craig a mourner in a funeral in the third act. I thought I would have nights off basically. Instead I watched the show every night and come to love it more and more. The final scene is written so beautifully. When Emily says goodbye. It makes you love life. It's a celebration of life.
CG When did you become involved with this production?
DB It started last summer when Nicky talked with me about it. He wasn't going to do it without Campbell Scott as the Stage Manager. That's a damned good place to start.
CG There is an amazing cast for this show. It seems that all the WTF alumni have shown up to celebrate and honor Nicky. How many years have you been involved with WTF?
DB The program says 12 seasons, but I think actually it is 13. The first was 1983.
CG What has kept you coming back?
DB The Berkshires are incredible. There is the opportunity to do great plays with fun people and talented artists.
CG Nicky?
DB If Nicky Martin says come play we come play.
CG Next summer there will be a new artistic director?
DB The new artistic director Jenny Gersten is a great friend. It is a position she richly deserves, and Nicky would join me in anticipation and excitement for next year.
CG Will you come back next year?
DB I sure hope so. I want to continue with WTF.
CG Nicky is planning to direct a play next summer has he talked with you about it?
DB He is! That's great news.
CG We all have to grow and change. At what point does it become routine to play yet another charming villain? How many times can you reach into the same bag of tricks? Do you see a time when you will be directing more?
DB Yes, I anticipate doing that much more than I am now. I need a lot more experience as a director. Eventually, I may take on the responsibilities of an artistic director of a company. Right now, I am much too busy as an actor.

Tom Hooper, the winner of last night's DGA award for Best Director for a Feature Film, for "The King's Speech" has all but clinched the winning streak that has now become I guess you could say the Royal Flush of the Oscars.
For those of you who don't follow this as avidly as I do, the Director's Guild win is almost ALWAYS what wins the Best Director Oscar also.
And whoever wins the Best Director Oscar will also most probably win the Oscar for Best Picture.
Things are looking very rosy for TKS this morning. Hollywood time.
Hollywood time is now Oscar time, esp. at this time of year and on top of all this hoopla there's the SAG Awards tonight.
With this winning streak which equals MOMENTUM, "The King's Speech" will very probably win the SAG Best Ensemble Award, which is the Screen Actor's Guild Award equivalent of their Best Picture.
And how has this changed the Oscar race? Well, Oscar goddess Sasha Stone called this as noted a post or two back. And now she, the Oracle of Delphi of Oscar predictors, is saying that she sees an Oscar SWEEEEP happening for "The King's Speech." It got TWELVE nominations this past Tuesday, which now seems like AGES ago.
It's very, very exciting when things change so radically and so suddenly. Sasha is even predicting that Geoffrey Rush will trounce Christian Bale tonight! And you all know that I HOPE HE DOES!
What you may not know that G. Rush(you can see me interviewing him, and Hooper and the pre-ordained Best Actor winner Colin Firth[who's been winning everything under the sun] on www.youtube.com/StephenHoltShow) is that he was also one of the main producers on TKS. He was literally the driving force behind it being turned into a movie.
And last night, just FYI, Rush jumped to THIRD place on my You Tube hit-getter chart. Colin Firth is number one and the lovely Marion Cotillard is STILL #2. That's my pre-Oscar interview with Marion for "La Vie En Rose" in May of that year, when she first landed on our shores. This is one the private statistical graphs and charts that each You Tube User has. It's very telling!
So that shows me that TKS sweep is even reaching as far as my You Tube channel! Talk about a grass-roots ground-swell!
But seriously folks…
I just hope this sweeps Helena Bonham-Carter in, too, as Best Supporting Actress tonight at the SAGs!
This win for the affable, polite, soft-spoken and self-effacing Hooper is another indicator that Nice Guys don't always finish last.
Melina Rysik of the NYTimes, no less. the Carpetbagger of their Oscar blog, tweeted that the minute Hooper's name was announced David Fincher, who everybody THOUGHT would win, immediately left the Director's Guild ballroom! Reminding me of when Eddie Murphy fled the Oscar Hall when they announced Allan Arkin as the winner of Best Supporting Actor that year and not Murphy for "Dreamgirls"!
The surprise Producers' Guild win many in the blogosphere thought of perhaps as a fluke. And that was only THIS PAST SUNDAY! Then Tuesday the 12 nominations more than any other film! But some felt that could be shrugged off, too…Not me, of course, but when someone who's been SUCH a staunch supporter of "The Joy of Typing", Sasha Stone predicted Tom Hooper was going to take it, well, I simply couldn't believe my eyes! www.awardsdaily.com
Then Kris Tapley did, too! www.incontention.com
And well, hallelujah! They (and I ) were all right!
This makes David Fincher, the new Martin Scorcese. There's an arrogance about that man that is palpable. And for a relative unknown, and a new comer to the Director's Guild, Tom Hooper to triumph is just SHOCKING! SHOCKING! I would like someone to do stats on a first time nominee's winning like this. Has it EVER happened before to someone who is not known first to H'wood? Robert Redford and Mel Gibson and Kevin Costner were known of course as actors But Tom Hooper?
Who the hell IS Tom Hooper? Well, now he is the hottest director on the Planet of Hollywood. And he's young, but he's no neophyte. He helmed the Emmy Award-Winning "John Adams" TV mini-series. Garnering its' stars Laura Linney and Paul Giamatti Best Actress and Best Actor Emmys…
And he directed a British film "The Damned United" which was very well reviewed last year, but not widely seen.
"The King's Speech" is breaking box office records all over the world, and will continue to. Another prediction. Harvey Weinstein must be SOOOO happy today!
Of course, the SAGS will honor Colin Firth tonight. And if Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham-Carter win tonight over favored front-runners Christian Bale and Melissa Leo, well, then we know we're really in for a "King's Speech" awards tsunami!
I'm thrilled! Thrilled!

Hot Foot Stomp is an entry into the Dixieland and New Orleans style of Jazz. It captures the essence of the Dixieland form with this not too demanding composition. The parts are all written out with no improvisation required.
The Dixieland form is very much one instrument taking the lead (melody) and the other front line instruments playing around and complimenting the tune.
This piece has a very upbeat and happy feel with its focus on capturing the feel and sound of the early New Orleans Jazz bands.

Your House As A System: The Whole House Approach
When you build a new home or remodel your existing one, there are several ways to optimize energy efficiency. A holistic approach considers the house as an energy system with independent parts, each affecting the performance of the entire home. When you alter one of these parts, or add a new one, it is important to consider how it will work with the rest of the system.
Even if you're not planning on building, you can still assess the efficiency of your home as it stands now. With summer in full swing, you want to keep your home cool and comfortable. However, if your home isn't energy efficient, you could be losing a lot of the cool air that should be circulating (and paying more for it). You can find out how efficient your home is by having an energy professional perform an energy audit on your home. This audit consists of several tests that will evaluate multiple variables and detect any areas in your system that aren't working. You will then be provided with cost-effective, energy efficient solutions that you can implement to improve your comfort levels.
The end result: keeping the temperature and the costs down in your home.
Benefits of making your home more energy efficient include:
- Reduced utility and maintenance costs (you could save over 20% annually!)
- Increased comfort
- Decreased noise levels
- A healthier and safer indoor environment
- Improved building durability
For more information about your home working as a system, please watch Energy Star's video about energy efficiency below.

I Can Has Style.
I was once again bitch slapped by time. My flight home is in 2.5 weeks, how did that happen? WHY IS TIME FUCKING WITH ME?
Ahem. This realization went along with me staring at a rack of summer sandals, one pair converse, one pair shredded oxfords and my moms suede brown flats that rats now run away from terrified.
Erika needs new shoes. On a limited, this is the time to spend money on other people, budget.
So here goes, my first I Can Has Style with budget in mind.
These kelly green beauts will definitely be purchased by this lil lady. I've been trying to find a way to incorporate green into my wardrobe and these flats just pulled a "deer in a headlight" look from me. So you win, obvi. (Payless, $26.99)
For a lift into 2013, these heeled oxford type ankles will do the job. I can work in advertising and feel like Jo making it big for Marmie. (payless, $34.99)
This is my kind of shoe through and through. Oxford style, slight heel, soft suede- you know i do. I'm a sucker for a shoe that can hang with tights and jeans and everything in between. (Forever 21, $24.80)
To round my Santa Shoe list out I've gone with some buckled shit kickers. And how! No explanation needed, sometimes you just gotta kick corporate ass with some skinny jeans and a cool boot. (Forever 21, $34.80)
So there you have it, now you know what my feet will look like this holiday season.
And if my feet can has style, I can has style.

SPIDER EXTRUSION PRODUCT APPLICATION : Copper And Aluminum Rod
SPIDER EXTRUSION Application industry : Aerospace、Automotive、Building、Communication、Control Cables、Infrastructure、Mining、Oil & Gas、Renewable Energy、Ship / Marine Cables
A wide range of products has its starting point in a rod of copper, aluminium and relevant alloys. Rods are the raw material for electrical applications such as electrical cables (i.e. power transmission, building, control and instrumentation, data and communication, automotive etc.), contact wire, magnet wire, pins and connectors; mechanical applications such as welding wire, wire for meshes and fastener. Other applications are textile wire, wire for food industry and jewellery.
In a high competitive market the development of new applications, price pressure and increase of product quality led wire manufacturers ask increased characteristics without losing conductivity. This led rod suppliers develop new copper and aluminium alloys. For example, copper alloys, such as CuSn, CuMg and CuAg, have been developed for automotive cable; High Temperature Aluminium Alloys have been developed for overhead conductor lines with round and shaped wires.
Rod production technology and equipment depend on the rod production range and on the required output. The most diffused technologies are the Continuous Casting Rolling technology (CCR) and the Upward Vertical Continuous Casting technology (UVCC). The continuous development of these technologies resulted in high quality rods in terms of chemical composition, mechanical and electrical properties, less impurities and lower overall processing costs.

KINSHASA, Congo — Congo's neighbours are calling for a recount in the disputed presidential election and suggesting the formation of a government of national unity to avoid possible chaos.
The statements by the southern African and Great Lakes regional blocs put new pressure on President Joseph Kabila's government to find a solution to the growing electoral crisis.
The declared presidential runner-up, Martin Fayulu, filed a court challenge on Saturday asking for a recount. He points to figures compiled by the influential Catholic Church's election observers that found he won 61 per cent of the vote.
Fayulu accuses Kabila of declaring opposition leader Felix Tshisekedi the winner, in a backroom deal likely to protect his vast assets in the mineral-rich country from Fayulu's anti-corruption efforts.
Fayulu's coalition welcomed the new regional stance.

Special Warranty Deed Guide - Black Hawk County

Included document last updated 5/8/2020
Completed Example of the Special Warranty Deed Document - Black Hawk County
Example of a properly completed form for reference.
Included document last updated 5/11/2020
*The Following Iowa and Black Hawk County supplemental forms are included as a courtesy with your order.
Real Estate Transfer Declaration of Value
According to Iowa law, a Declaration of Value, stating the full consideration paid in certain non-exempt real estate conveyances, must be submitted to the county recorder at the time a deed, contract, instrument, or other writing is presented for recording. A version to be filled in online as well as a print version of the form are available. Both include instructions, but make sure to consult the Detailed Filing Instructions as well.
Real Estate Transfer Groundwater Hazard Statement
This form must be presented to the county recorder when the document to be recorded is filed. The recorder shall forward the original to the transferee when the recorded instrument is returned.
Transfer Tax
This tax table lists transfer tax rates by amount of consideration.
Iowa Homestead Exemption
If you are an Iowa resident property owner and live in the property for 6 months or longer each year, you may qualify for a Homestead exempition. This can reduce your property taxes.
Notary Certificates
The supplemental forms in this section can be used as loose certificates by notaries in the state.
A special warranty deed is a legal document used to transfer, or convey, rights in real property from a grantor (seller) to a grantee (buyer). This type of deed provides more liability protection for the grantor, and less protection for the buyer. In a special warranty deed, the grantor warrants against defects in the title during his or her ownership, and that he or she is authorized to sell it, but does not guarantee freedom from claims on the title originating before the grantor owned the property. Because of this risk, special warranty deeds are less common for residential real estate transactions. Instead, these types of deeds are typically used for foreclosed bank-owned properties and commercial properties that have changed ownership several times.
A lawful deed includes the grantor's full name and marital status, as well as the grantee's full name, marital status, mailing address, and vesting. Vesting describes how the grantee holds title to the property. For Iowa residential property, the primary methods for holding title in co-ownership are tenancy in common and joint tenancy. A grant of ownership of real estate to two or more unmarried persons is presumed to create a tenancy in common, unless a joint tenancy is specifically created (Iowa Code 557.15). A transfer to a married couple vests as a joint tenancy, unless otherwise stated (Iowa Code 557.15(3)(a)).
As with any conveyance of real estate, a special warranty deed requires a complete legal description of the parcel. Recite the source of title to establish a clear chain of title, and detail any restrictions associated with the property. Finally, the deed must meet all state and local standards for recorded documents.
The grantor must sign the completed deed in front of a notary. The acknowledgment (notary section), whether made within the State of Iowa, outside the state, outside the United States, or under federal authority, should comply with the provisions of chapter 9b of the Iowa Statutes. Once acknowledged, file it in the recorder's office in the county where the property is located.
Include all relevant documents, affidavits, forms, and fees along with the deed for recording. Most deeds require a separate Real Estate Transfer Groundwater Hazard Statement (Iowa Code Section 558.69). Consult the local recording office to confirm which supplemental materials are necessary for the specific transaction.

Good furniture is clean, thoughtful, and professional. Meonin Furniture was founded during the summer of 2015 by Bogár Máté. It explores the relationship between human and furniture. The shape and function are secondary, the main driving force is the individual. Our purpose is to create a connection between the object and the person who use it by understanding the ambience of everyday tasks. The streamlined design helps the harmony of order while dynamics and nature collides. The minimal aesthetics creates a need for usefulness, and the furniture become whole with our personal items in it, essentially became us. This is the work and art of Meonin.

Don't Let Spooky Overshadow Safety
Have you ever walked into a haunted house? Not a real one. Those are just plain scary.
We're talking about the safe haunted houses. The ones your neighbors host every year to give the locals a good scare. Despite their "haunted" appearance, people flock to these homes because they know it's all an act.
But to prevent real accidents from happening, everyone must practice electrical safety. As your local residential electrician in Nashville, TN, we want you to know the do's and don'ts for electric. If you go all out with the decorations or you know someone who does, take note of these Halloween safety tips.
Cast the Halloween Safety Spell
- Inspect decorations. Before you get to work, inspect each decoration thoroughly. If you notice any cracks, loose connections, bare wires or other signs of damage, discard the decoration immediately. Also, only use decorations that have been tested and certified by a recognized testing laboratory. That homemade jack-in-the-box might look really neat, but that doesn't mean it's safe!
- Inspect electrical cords before using. Never use exposed or damaged electrical cords. Also, if you're using electrical cords outside, make sure they're designated for outdoor use.
- Hang decorations with insulated staples. Don't staple or nail electrical cords or light strings. Insulated staples provide extra protection and should be used to hang indoor or outdoor decorations.
- Replace smoke detector batteries. Check the batteries in your smoke detectors and replace if necessary. Don't overlook this simple but important step.
- Overload on fun, not electricity. It takes a lot of electricity to turn ordinary homes into haunted houses. Make sure that your current system can handle the extra usage. Before going into overdrive with your electricity, have one of our electricians inspect your system. We'll let you know whether your system is good to go or needs to be upgraded.
- Don't use flammable items for decoration. Corn stalks and dried flowers are flammable and shouldn't be part of your Halloween display. Use only non-flammable items to decorate your space.
- Plug cords into ground fault circuit interrupter outlets. GFCIs are designed to prevent electrical shock. Plug your decorations into GFCI outlets to keep the festivities safe. Also, use exterior outlet covers to protect the outlets from inclement weather.
- Don't run electrical cords through high-traffic areas. Be smart with your decoration layout. Identify high traffic areas and keep them free of electrical cords to prevent visitors from falling.
- Keep exits clear of decorations. If there's ever an emergency, people will need to exit immediately. Keep all exits clear of decorations and distractions that could become hazardous (for instance, don't run a fog machine right near the exit).
- Shut the party down when you aren't home. Don't welcome unnecessary risk. Turn off all Halloween decorations and lights whenever you leave the house.
Who You Gonna Call? Frog Electrical!
It's fun to turn your home into a "spooktacular" show. But before you do, take note of your electrical plan. If there's anything you aren't sure about, our trained electricians are here to help.
To learn more about our electrical services in Nashville, TN, or to schedule service for your home, call Frog Heating, Air & Electrical at 615.823.3965 or contact us online today.

Rockets report: Beverley relishes return to action
Rockets guard Pat Beverley scored all 12 of his points on 3-pointers in Wednesday night's preseason win over Dallas.
Beverley, who missed the last 12 regular-season games and all 17 playoff games because of a wrist injury that required surgery, said he was thrilled to be back on the court playing.
"I haven't played in a long time, so these last two days have felt good," Beverley said after the game. "We moved the ball really well. We defended really well. There were a lot of good things today.
Beverley is one of 10 returning players for the team this season and said the group has picked up right where it left off.
"We are all really comfortable out there playing with each other," Beverley said. "That is going to help us grow."
He also likes what he is seeing from young players who are looking for a spot on the team.
"I like this group," he said. "I see a lot of heart, a lot of improvement. I think we have some good players that are really trying to prove themselves out there."
Young players making progress
Center Clint Capela and forward K.J. McDaniels are both having solid preseason showings entering their second NBA season.
Capela, who broke out for the Rockets in the postseason last year, started Wednesday night against the Mavericks. He had 12 points and 14 rebounds, going 4-for-5 from the free-throw line. Last season, Capela was 4-of-23 (.174) from the foul line.
McDaniels had 13 points, seven rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks in the win.
Last season, McDaniels played just 33 minutes total for the Rockets, averaging a little more than a point in 10 games.
"I saw improvement, a steady improvement in (McDaniels) and (Capela)," guard Pat Beverley said. "It's definitely good to see that now - it helps for the long season."
Capela was praised for his growth and McDaniels for his energy by coach Kevin McHale
"There was good ball movement; they got action and movement," he said.
McDaniels, who was acquired from the 76ers in a trade last season, said he is trying to earn playing time this year by excelling during preseason games.
"It felt good to be out there," McDaniels said. "It's the preseason, a chance to prove yourself and play with each other. We have good team chemistry on the team with these veteran players, and I feel like us young guys are really coming along.

AES response to the awarding of examination grades
Examination Office opening hours:
08:30 – 15:00
Internal examinations are organised by the Examinations Office. Dates of examinations are available in the school calendar. Timetables are produced by the examinations department and distributed via Form Tutors. Any queries relating to dates, times and places of examinations should go to the examinations department in the first instance.
Public examinations are managed by the Examinations Office (opposite the main school office in A-block). Queries about individual exams should go to your subject teacher for the subject concerned. Individual timetables are produced by the Examinations Office and distributed via students' registers.
Unable to Attend
Where it is a candidate's last available date to take an examination, eg for an outgoing specification or where the candidate is certificating, the Examinations Office will apply to the relevant exam board for special consideration. Candidates are only eligible for special consideration if they have met the minimum requirements and have covered the whole course but are affected by adverse circumstances beyond their control. If a candidate chooses not to sit an examination for other reasons they should be aware that special consideration will not apply.
Late arrivals
Candidates who arrive after the start of the examination may be allowed to enter the exam room and sit the examination (except for Listening Exams where an additional room and invigilator will have to be organised).
A candidate who arrives after the start of the examination should be allowed the full time for the examination, provided the room is not needed after the published finishing time and adequate invigilation arrangements are in place.
Very Late arrivals
Candidates will be considered very late if they arrive:
- more than one hour after the published starting time for an examination that lasts one hour or more.
- after the published finishing time or 30 minutes after the published starting time (whichever is later) for examinations that last less than one hour.
A full written report is sent to the awarding body from the Exams Office for very late candidates and the awarding body may not accept their work.
Advice: Where a candidate is identified as being absent at the start of an exam, the centre may wish to make contact with the candidate's parent/carer. For very late candidates the parent/carer should be advised to keep the candidate under supervision at all times until the candidate is handed over to a member of AES staff. In such circumstances the parent/carer and the candidate should sign an appropriate statement to confirm the supervision arrangements which were put in place. The awarding body will consider each case individually in light of statements from the parent/carer, the candidate and the centre.
GCSE/GCE Examinations – Contingency Day
We have some important information that we need to share with you, to avoid any issues summer 2020.
In the highly unlikely event that there is national disruption to a day of examinations in summer 2020, the awarding bodies will liaise with the qualification regulators and the DfE to agree the most appropriate option for managing the impact. As a last resort the affected examinations will be rescheduled.
Although every effort would be taken to keep the impact to a minimum, it is possible that there could be more than one timetable date affected following the disruption, up to and including the contingency day on 24 June 2020.
Centres will be alerted if it was agreed to reschedule the examinations and the affected candidates will be expected to make themselves available in such circumstances.
Where candidates choose not to be available for the rescheduled examination(s) for reasons other than those traditionally covered by special consideration, they will not be eligible for enhanced grading arrangements.
With this in mind, we strongly advise that no holidays are booked to leave before 25th June 2020.
The contingency day will become a standard feature of subsequent examination

It's super easy to book flights and places to stay online – but what do you do when you get there? Hong Kong startup Sam the Local wants to help you to find the best things to do when you get to your next destination.
Anita Chan (pictured on the left, Maggie Lau on the right) relocated to Hong Kong from California, and prior to Sam the Local, she worked at a consumer products companies doing communications, project management, and regional marketing.
Now she is excited to be involved in the Hong Kong startup community, building something she is passionate about. We sat down with Anita to find out who exactly Sam the Local is…
What is your startup?
Sam the Local connects people to a local for customized, interest-based Outings. For those who recently relocated to Hong Kong, friends and family who are visiting, those who have some time during their business trip, and people in Hong Kong just looking to explore the city more, this is perfect. They can have their own private Outing to experience Hong Kong they way they want.
How did you come up with this idea?
During our travels in Asia, we have been fortunate to always have friends give us tips and take us around to show us what they know. This allowed us to get below the surface level of each destination. On the other side, when friends and family visited Hong Kong, we showed them things outside of the tourist attractions. Then we thought, "What if people didn't have a friend where they traveled to?" After doing some research, we realized that this problem wasn't just our own, but were issues that other travelers had as well. From there, Sam the Local was born. We connect knowledgeable local insiders with those people who want to discover this insider knowledge.
Who are you targeting and how big is the market in HK/Asia?
At this initial stage, we are targeting millennials from the US, Europe, and Australia who are looking to experience a different side of Hong Kong. Our next step is to expand to other cities in Asia, so that anywhere you go, you can have a local friend share their local tips with you.
In 2013, the global travel activities market was valued at US$100 billion.
What are your future plans for your startup?
We are growing the number of Locals we have in the Hong Kong market first, and will then expand to some more cities in Asia within the next 2 years.
1 Benefit and 1 Challenge in the HK startup scene?
One benefit of the Hong Kong startup scene is everyone is willing to share tips and advice, and are open to connecting you to the right people. One challenge of the Hong Kong startup scene is that there aren't many accelerator programs. They are gradually growing with fintech and B2B ones being developed, and it just seems to require more time for more of these types of programs to develop in Hong Kong.

Today, 10/11/14 at ten a.m. PT, don't forget to tune in to me, Barry Mathis, on our weekly broadcast, "Real Talk on Real Estate," on channel 1380AM The Answer on your radio dial! Or on your computer at http://goo.gl/90vpkG. This week we'll be featuring a real go-getter, one of the top women out there in the field of #realestate in the #sacramentoarea: Ms. Rachel Adams. As a partner in the Aitchison-Adams Real Estate Team of Keller Williams Realty in Roseville, she spreads her wings wide to encompass all of Sacramento and #PlacerCounty, including #ElDoradoHills, #Folsom,#Rocklin, #GraniteBay, #ElkGrove, and even on out into Napa and Lafayette. And let me tell you, this gal knows her stuff. She utilizes all the tech tools at her disposal, and through those communicates with each client at such a personal level they're left with the happy illusion that they're her "one-and-only." Integrity (which as you know is big with me,) resonates strongly with her as well.
A few words from Rachel :
"I love to sit down with clients and get to know them, and see exactly what they are looking for in a home. I send them houses that match exactly their style, and find them the perfect one!
"When it comes to sellers, I can figure out exactly what their home is worth, and negotiate to get them the highest and best offer. I keep them in the loop the entire time. Communication is big with me.
"I am aggressive in my approach of finding clients a place to call home, selling their home, and working with investors, but thoughtful of what they need at all times.
"Real Relationships. Real Results."
Listen to her at ten this morning. Then, reach her at 916-284-7864, on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/AitchisonandAdams, Twitter athttps://twitter.com/aitchisonadams, her company website athttp://www.aitchison-adams.com/, or simply old-fashioned email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Sheet Music: Score
Dance gundah : for didjeridu and orchestra / Philip Bracanin.
by Philip Bracanin (1998)
This item is available for sale but is currently unable to be purchased online.
Product details
Dance Gundah is a concerto wherein cultures combine. It brings together the primeval earthiness of the didjeridu, nurtured through an oral tradition of some forty thousand years, and the majesty of the symphony orchestra, founded only some two hundred and forty years ago. Recently, the didjeridu's traditional role as an accompanying instrument for singers and dancers in sacred and secret ceremonies has been extended into the popular music arena. Now Dance Gundah propels it into coexistence with classical music in partnership with the symphony orchestra. Its many voiced sounds and attendant emotional states are blended within the orchestra and contrasted with it, in much the same way as a solo instrument in a typical concerto.
In composing this concerto, I was mindful not to compromise the dignity or integrity of the two musical cultures. Rather, my aim was to create a viable synthesis of them and, in so doing, bridge and reconcile their musico-cultural divide in the making of a work that is truly multicultural. Such recently established bands as Yothu Yindi (which includes Anglo-Celtic Australian musicians) have incorporated the didjeridu as a lead and rhythm instrument lending emphasis to these bands' Aboriginality. Yothu Yindi is a great band with a worthy political message. My aim with Dance Gundah is to effect a fusion wherein Aboriginal Australian and European Australian musics resonate in music of international goodwill, preserving both the spiritual expression of the didjeridu and the cultural associations of the polish and precision of the symphony orchestra. Cast in the Western tradition of a three-movement concerto (fast, slow, fast), Dance Gundah occupies a unique position in the history of both Occidental and Australian Aboriginal music.
Published by: Australian Music Centre — 1 facsimile score (75p. -- A3 (portrait))
Duration: 15 mins
First performance by Matthew Doyle, Queensland Symphony Orchestra, Benjamin Vary — Nov 99.

On the 14th (KST), in the 2019 LCK Summer Split, Griffin shutout Hanwha Life Esports 2-0 and took their third win of the season. In the match, Son "Lehends" Si-woo played Tahm Kench and Lux, contributing to the team's victory. Especially in Game 1, he was the perfect partner to Park "Viper" Do-hyeon's Sona in Game 1. After the match, Lehends was interviewed by the press.
How do you feel about today's win?
I'm glad that we won, but I'm even more happy that we won with Sona.
Griffin lost for the first time this season in the last game against SANDBOX Gaming.
We learned a lot through that loss. During the feedback after the loss, we directly said that the loss was because we underperformed. Everybody agreed, so we all put in more effort.
So you finally won with Sona. What has changed?
To make it simple, we all played bad last time but we all played well this time. We weren't very calm when we played last time. When the situation was bad, we all lost our cool, and it got worse. I guess we panicked. This time, we tried to keep our cool in all situations.
It should have been difficult to pick out the proper support champion to duo with Sona.
Sona was locked in, and we tried many different support champions. I tried different supports according to the situation or picks & bans and talked a lot with Viper. This time, it was Tahm Kench.
In Game 2, you banned Singed and Chovy said that it was to snipe Lehends.
In Game 1, I put up Singed in the picks & bans window. Chovy sometimes bans Singed in scrims, usually when there's nothing he wants to ban. This time as well, we felt that there was no need for any more bans so Chovy banned Singed. Everybody laughed together. It was partially a team decision and partially Chovy's unpredictableness.
Why do you think Tahm Kench is continuing to appear as a support even after its W nerf?
This is just my own thought; after the last patch, Tahm Kench's laning became stronger and became a champion that can have more power in the early-mid game. I think against some champions, he can be played in top lane as well. As for the W nerf, compared to the nerf, his laning became relatively stronger so I think that's why he's being used often.
In Game 2, everybody checked the vision very carefully.
For the bottom duo we were always in fear because we could die any time. Hanwha Life Esports is a team that has good teamwork and roams around together well, so we tried to be careful about that. We thought that if we didn't make a mistake about that, we would win without much trouble.
Head coach cvMax had said that bringing the performance up comes before winning or losing.
I think what he said meant that if our performance comes up, the results follow. He said that if we lose even if the performance seemed good, it's his own fault. He wanted us to concentrate on our performance.
Any last comments?
I'm thankful to all the fans that always cheer for us. We'll prepare the next match well and show a fun match. I hope everybody looks out for themselves well and stay healthy.

What are the most important things to consider when you write a book? The story arc and character development. Today's tip is simple and it's going to help with the latter.
I've already shared with you the trick of giving your characters one of your own traits that you love, but today I'm going to advise you to give them something else: a background story.
You don't need to actually have their whole story in your book; it will just be there for your own reference, but writing it will make them more familiar to you and help you understand them better.

For scrambled eggs and bushy haired poets,
A toast with brandy at three a.m.
For piano players and wooden back benches
Stories we'd tell never again.
Brandy and poets and breakfast in bed.
Dreams and words; how we both did know it
Over stingers and bourbons at one a.m.
Impossible dreams, emotional wrenches,
Stories they'd tell of us time and again
When dreamers and poets both dropped over dead.

For many, Jasmine Tea sits among Black, White, and Green tea as one of the all time classics. This tea is harvested in early spring time and stored until the late summer. A simple unforgettable taste that is known for its likeness to Green Tea, yet containing another layer of fragrance entirely.
Many of our teas here contain Jasmine as it blends so perfectly well with many other flavours. Throughout Asia this tea is commonly used to greet guests.

My family knows that once the flaming pudding is on the table, late on Christmas Day, all meals will be picnics. Bar a few potatoes flung into the oven to bake, all cooking stops and eating becomes a forage into a squirrelled hoard of treats: the jars, tins, balsawood boxes and less pretty but functional vacpacs, inside which lie the delicate results of 'cures' achieved using sugar, salt, booze or smoke.
Preserves are as much a part of my Christmas as the big fat bird and Brussels sprouts, only I find them far more interesting. Often they are memories of past Christmases. We recall the specialities our forebears once loved; the image of an elderly relative eating plums in brandy while watching the telly. My grandmother, for example, felt Christmas was not Christmas without sticky Elvas plums from Fortnums; her Russian émigré husband lusted (not always successfully) after caviar.
My mother never did Christmas without buying a whole gammon then taking ages in the run-up to soak, boil and glaze it with mustard, cloves and demerara sugar. Needless to say, I do the same. Like her, I buy smoked eel and jars of mi-cuit foie gras, and search Middle Eastern shops for dates on the stalk. It nags me that we often spend our adult lives trying to be different from our parents, but at Christmas we become them.
A sort of forgiveness, in a way, but mostly it is about treating ourselves how once we were treated. If you are going to splurge — and almost all cured foods are expensive — you may as well buy what you have always known tastes good, unless you become your own artisan and make your own preserves.
This is a fast-growing hobby. Equipment is now made on a domestic scale and at weekends the scent of home-smoked pork or fish will often waft across suburban back gardens; sausage skins, Kilner jars, vacuum packers and brewing equipment fly out of the kitchenware suppliers Lakeland, and who knows who is doing a little distillation on the sly, out of reach of the regulators. News of this trend will not be welcome to the continental producers who traditionally do so well out of filling British hampers.
Historically, Christmas was a time to indulge at the delicatessen, buying tender, slinky slices of Parma ham and boozy chocolates. But that has all changed thanks to the German budget chains, which offer the discerning gourmet low-priced deli foods. Lidl and Aldi remind us how much cheaper delicacies such as Parmesan cheese are in Europe. There is a danger, though, that their stack 'em high and sell 'em cheap cult could take the special out of specialities.
So we hunt for rarities, debating who smokes the best salmon, makes the best game terrines, pots the spiciest shrimps, crystallises apricots to perfection or makes a mean booze-soaked cherry. It has always been pleasantly competitive, especially when searching for an unusual present to bring if you are a guest during the festive season.
Having moved to Dorset, I am making my first attempt to join the hobby artisans. I will leave the smoked salmon and eel to the Severn & Wye Smokery, as usual, the ham curing to Sandridge Farm in Wiltshire and the Elvas plums to Fortnums (or rather to the ladies who first boil in syrup then air-dry the greengages that grow near their fortress town in Portugal). Like my grandmother, I find opening the balsawood box and unwrapping the lace paper that encloses these delicious, fat and wrinkly plums simply is Christmas.
These foods are difficult to perfect and there is a strong danger a parvenu like me will get it wrong and waste expensive ingredients. The art of curing is complicated; one must understand elements of fermentation, acidity and bacterial activity. Why do they not teach these essential skills in school science lessons?
I do, however, have a salted, marinated venison fillet hanging in a draughty place, mid-cure towards becoming bresaola which we will slice paper-thin and eat with homemade quince jelly. The process takes only three weeks — most home curing takes much longer — so if you start now it should be ready in time.
Bresaola can also be made using beef topside or silverside, but I recommend Katie and Giancarlo Caldesi's The Gentle Art of Preserving (Kyle) as a guide to curing and pickling all sorts of ingredients. A successful attempt will be rewarded with a dish that is uniquely good. Christmas soothed by salt, smoke and liquor.
You might disagree with half of it, but you'll enjoy reading all of it. Try your first 10 weeks for just $10

A simple butter roasted asparagus pasta salad, tossed with sun dried tomatoes, fresh lemon, and parmesan. A delightful cold pasta salad that everyone will love!
One of the best things about summer, and trust me, for me they are few, is the better price and freshness of asparagus. When I first met John.e, he wasn't a fan of asparagus at all. I was able to convince him to give it another try. Now, he's quite fond of it.
This pasta salad was an idea I had one Sunday morning while sipping my coffee and watching reruns of Will & Grace. (That used to be a Sunday morning ritual; I can't wait until the new shows start up again!) I knew I had some asparagus in the refrigerator, and that John.e would need something to take to work for lunch on Monday.
I knew this pasta salad would be just as fresh on Monday as it was on Sunday morning when I prepared it. The lemon juice not only adds a lot of flavour, but helps to keep the asparagus a bright green colour.
The best part is that you can refrigerate this pasta salad for a few days. It will last!
Asparagus season is so short, so I try my best to get my fill of it before the season ends. There's nothing more gratifying than purchasing in-season produce as a great price. Even though asparagus is available year-round, it can be quite expensive except for during the month of June or even early July when asparagus is cheap, abundant, and at its best.
As I previously mentioned, this pasta salad is a great dish to make ahead of time and keep in the refrigerator. The fact that you're adding the fresh lemon zest and lemon juice to this recipe helps to keep the asparagus a bright green colour with a great fresh taste.
The flavour profile of this pasta salad screams summer. You've got the fresh asparagus that's been roasted in butter and olive oil, the saltiness of the sun dried tomatoes, the freshness of the lemon zest and juice, the bright flavours of the green onions, and of course, the addition of the grated parmesan cheese – which, let's be honest, makes everything better!
Roasted Asparagus Lemon Butter Pasta Salad
- 1 large bunch of fresh asparagus, about 20-24 spears
- 6 cups bow tie pasta, cooked
- 1/2 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes, packed in oil
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- ½ cup green onions, sliced
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons oil, from the jar of sun dried tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped, plus more for garnish
- 1 teaspoon black sesame seeds for garnish, optional
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Wash and chop the asparagus into one-inch pieces. Toss them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet. Dot the asparagus with the butter. Roast for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
- In the meantime, cook the pasta in salted water. Cool the pasta completely by running under cold water. This helps to remove the starch from the pasta.
- Add the cooled pasta and asparagus to a large bowl. Add the sun dried tomatoes, the oil from the sun dried tomatoes, the green onions, parmesan, parsley, lemon zest and juice, and the oil/butter mixture from the baking sheet. (Use a rubber spatula to scrape the oil and butter from the baking sheet into the bowl.) Toss all of these ingredients together. Season with more salt and pepper to suit your tastes.
- Pile the pasta salad into a large serving bowl and garnish with sesame seeds, parsley, and more parmesan if you wish. Serve.
- Pasta can be stored in air-tight containers in the refrigerator for up to three days.

That looks amazing. I am with you on Will & Grace. I love watching the reruns! I pinned this and will definitely make it this week!
Can this be made as an hot dish
Is this 6 serving recipe enough for 6 people as a side or should I double it?

5 reasons to hire a refugee for your next position
1. Tap into a pool of hidden talent
Refugees are often highly qualified in specific fields. A study by the Nuffield foundation shows that 45% of refugees in the UK already had a qualification before arriving. Many are doctors, lawyers, technicians, and engineers, who have made enough money at home to attempt the perilous journey to Europe.
In Germany, many employers seem to have caught onto this, and are hiring qualified, driven refugees at pace. Daniel Kok, who owns a small flooring company in Dortmund, hired 31-year-old Eritrean, Abraha, as an apprentice. He has this to say:
"I didn't hire Abraha out of starry-eyed-idealism but because he is qualified, enthusiastic and eager to work," said Kok, who said he had had countless unsatisfactory trainees.
2. Refugees have lower turnover and higher retention rates.
As the first employer that a refugee works for in the U.K., you have an unparalleled opportunity to invest in an ambitious employee that will do well by you. If you give them the tools they need to succeed, they will show loyalty for years to come. Often fleeing war or persecution, refugees are seeking stability, so are less likely to jump from job to job.
3. A diverse workplace fosters innovation
Innovation is most often borne from the mixing of ideas and opinions. The more diverse a workforce, the more varied these points of view, backgrounds, and experiences become. By pulling together the best from everyone, creative ideas are allowed a place to not only be conceived, but also executed.
4. Increase productivity
Refugees are indisputably hard workers and fast learners. With the drive of needing to start a new life in a new country, many will work extremely hard to earn the money which will allow them to settle. A workforce that is happy and respects their work environment inevitably is more productive.
5. Your chance to build a socially responsible business
By hiring a refugee, you are empowering them to earn a living and contribute to business and society. Investing in the future of refugees not only gives them a platform to work, but often they are the first to give back.
Being a socially responsible company is not only the right thing to do on moral grounds, but can reap rewards in the form of positive publicity and brand image.
