The Maps, Apps, and Drones tour made its way through the hills of Clermont to UCF's own Cooper Memorial Library to host the Sunshine State Homeschool Academy.
Both new students and those returning from GIS Day 2019 experienced a variety of educational activities. These included the National Geographic Giant Map, a Sphero Bolt, and a Parrot Mambo mini-drone flying obstacle course.
While these activities are fun and engaging, they also promote learning. Our Sphero robot introduces students to the basics of block-coding and grid mapping.
As the use of drones continues to grow, we allow students the opportunity to become drone pilots as they maneuver through our drone obstacle course. We highlight the applications of drones and emphasize the safety involved in flying them.
Students explored the state of Florida venturing from the panhandle to the Keys on our National Geographic Giant Map. We introduced them to the elements of a map and the basics of coordinates.
As the year draws to an end, we look forward to what the next year holds, including the much anticipated GeoBus. Keep current with our team on

Quilts 1700-2010
I found the quilts to be stunning examples of interesting work as well as the way they chose to display
them to be thought provoking. Only disappointment, I wish they showed more, If you have time, take a look.

This is so interesting, the way the modern quilts and historical ones play off each other in this exhibit. I particularly love the brightly colored one with the drawings of modern appliances.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. My FIL was a fireman in the 40s and he and the other men made quilts to while away the hours in the firehouse.

Now I want to go to England. I have been to the V&A but there were no quilts on display at that time and I wasn't quilting yet.

It does make you want to take a trip to see it.
Luckily the International Quilt Show will be in Chicago next month! Can not wait to go.

Thanks, that was a delight!
Wouldn't it be wonderful if bed quilts in most shows could be exhibited on bed forms? Some of the more simple/honest bed quilts would exhibit their attributes of being designed for a bed while those that are over the top gorgeous may not come off so well ... especially those that are quilted to be as stiff as a board.

Thanks Barbara. A friend had sent me an article on the exhibit so I am happy to now have seen that video.

Animating the Player...27 Feb 2011
All I really have to say on this subject is that I am not an artist; and although I'll be making a large and unrelated announcement that is purely about me making artwork tonight, the difference between stills and animation is absolutely gigantic, and animation is very hard. It's unbelievable how much one bad frame can completely poison an animation. I am still using Paint.NET; maybe this is a mistake, maybe I should be using Flash, but I simply don't have the time to learn it right now. I can make something that at least passes as an animation, but only after some hard work. It's something that I'm very interested in, so while I'm not great at it, it is definitely a fun experience, but it's also quite painstaking at times.

I sat the exam today, Sections A and B is a bit hard as there are 5 questions in a true or false format, some of the questions also don't have the choices. I took the CBE exam for the first time.
With regards to Section C, the topics were relevant costing and not-for profit organisation which I think I did well.
I hope I get at least 50%. 🙂June 6, 2018 at 2:55 pm
Hi Guys,
I just took the exam.
A strong advise make, make sure u study the Question 253 and 258 in Kaplan revision kit.
These were my exact exams! Like 100% the same but different numbers.
But unfortunately I didn't pay too much attention to these questions during revision time.
Just hoping for some miracle now cuz these were like 40 scores in total . :'(June 6, 2018 at 3:00 pm
I gave my F5 exam today. It wasn't a good paper. How about the markings? Is it tight marking?
?June 6, 2018 at 3:18 pm
*2018June 6, 2018 at 3:31 pm
Hi guys,
Well…I've been trying to do a post-mortem on the exam this morning, I literally have no idea how I feel about it! Section C for me was expected values and transfer pricing – normally I'm good with EV but found this part hard, normally I'm rubbish with TP but found this ok!
Sections A/ B are a mystery to me…there were some multiple true/ false ones where I knew 3 for sure but wasn't sure on 1, kind of annoying that it could negate the other 3! There was a question on throughput (for North factory?) that I just couldn't work out, and normally I'm good with throughput…similarly the rolling budget figure for cost of sales got me, which is annoying!
We'll see anyway. This is my first ACCA exam, I'm wondering if they will all be this difficult/ intense…June 6, 2018 at 4:23 pm
Hi Guys,
I can't even imagine if this was F5 Paper. It was so tough.The MCQ was so confusing and tricky. Section C was Expected Values which i found it hardJune 6, 2018 at 4:28 pm
Well… this was a shocker for me. I sat the CBE.
The section C question I had were Ted the popstar (EV) and AA Hotel (Balanced scorecard)
regarding the balanced scorecard performance measurements I was pretty happy with where as the EV calculations for Ted were difficult, pretty sure I barely got anything right 🙁
Section A & B questions were odd for me, I knew what area of the syllabus was testing however I could not be 100% on my answers, they were worded to strangely.
Either way, this was my first attempt at F5 and I'm pretty certain I'll have to re-sit this one, i'll keep at it through the summer and book the re-sit exam in few weeks.
EDIT: 2 and half hours my PC crashed so my exam had to be stopped, I was twiddling my thumbs and saw many other students getting question I would have happily answered, annoyed.
So yeah, exam was resumed 25 minutes after it crashed.June 6, 2018 at 4:35 pm
Same with us here in SG, the exam was stopped with 22 minutes still remaining in my time. I was actually hoping to start the exams again as I got stuck with first 5 questions which took me 30 mins to answer. Because of this, I wasn't able to go back and review my answers.
Did anyone here had the question on rolling budget of revenues and cost of sales? How did you guys answer it? What I did was I took the Jan 200X actual result and added the revised Feb and March Budget. Is this correct?June 6, 2018 at 4:38 pm
Sat for CBE and the questions were so tough.Section C was not that so hard but had to focus a lot but Section A and B as so so hard. Had many theory related questions rather than the numericals one and I suck a lot on these questions. The topic that I had full confidence on even turned out to be a nightmare at exam halls.
Hope I get at least 50%June 6, 2018 at 4:42 pm
Glad I'm not the only one thinking section A & B were toughJune 6, 2018 at 4:51 pm
Part A and B was sooo much tricky… for every single mcqs examiner challenges candidates. I found even some mcqs which answer have to be 4 to 5 statements. Come on there should be a limit to test candidates nerves…June 6, 2018 at 4:53 pm
Guys is marking hard of this exam?June 6, 2018 at 4:53 pm
Even after studying the entire syllabus, and practicing more than 16 mock exams, I still found the paper to be ridiculously difficult 🙁June 6, 2018 at 5:02 pm
I took paper base exams. Section C was same like urs and it was hard for EVJune 6, 2018 at 5:10 pm
It was average based paper hope that i will pass some questions i know which will help you??….

5:abc costing mcqs in which we have units i think (x=5000units) and (y=11000units) material handling 5m2 and 8m2 total cost pool was $80000 we have to find cost per overhead of x?
6: life costing calculation based question
[two mcqs from environmental chpt]

2. Life cycle costing question?June 6, 2018 at 5:48 pm

I ran out of time and attempted question 32 balance scorecard question, missed 31 as I wasn't sure about it anyway. definitely giving a re-examJune 6, 2018 at 5:57 pm

We'll see anyway. This is my first ACCA exam, I'm wondering if they will all be this difficult/ intense…
I had the exact same exam…I completely agree with you. There were too many options to the 'wordy' multiple choice questions within section A. Section B wasn't too bad, albeit the throughput one a little tricky…
Section C I had a mare on the expected values – not something I even considered could be so in depth…I thought the transfer pricing went incredibly well. It's going to be tight for me but I think i've just fallen short.June 6, 2018 at 6:01 pm
Ran out of time in Section C as was too engrossed in double checking the answers in A/B.
ACCA has its ways of making us students pull our hairs out during the exam because some of the questions require you to really understand the theory and apply it to different scenarios.
Overall, good experience. Hope that I'll be able to pass.
My Section C was zero based budgeting and my answer is Decision Package 3.. anyone?June 6, 2018 at 6:04 pm
My section c was transfer prices and expected value both i messed up. I dont understand why everyone had different qs to section cJune 6, 2018 at 6:07 pm
I found section A and B quite easy. What was the answer to the relevant costing question in section A, did you have to add materials with variable overheads (spare capacity machine hours) ? And what was the answer to environmental , was it prevention cost. Anyway I got C for the first four mcq in section A. There were lots of Cs in section A for me. I sat for the paper base. Btw the Ev question was terrible. Balance Scorecard was quite fair.June 6, 2018 at 6:08 pm
I really hope the questions for EV ted are for the 10 non counting points.
I had section A: rolling budget
Section b: rolling budget
Section c: EV ted and Balance scorecard AA hotel

Kellie, from Greenhab is hosting this month's APLS carnival, and she asks this:
So, I'm wondering when, where, how, and how much you proselytize living green? When do you just let it go? When is it not worth it to start something? Or do you always speak up? How loud? Are you a tell-it-like-it-is person? Or do you try to take a gentle approach? And, although I use "proselytize" in the loosest way, does living a sustainable lifestyle feel almost like a religion to you?
I find that I run the gamut from silent to all points bulletins regarding my environmentalism. It depends on the situation, the people I'm with, the issue at hand and the mood I'm in. Sometimes I have the energy to get into a deep discussion, and think it would be profitable; at other times I just mind my own business and wish to myself that things were different.
The vast majority of the time I am quietly announcing my viewpoint by doing little things such as carrying reusable bags, using my reusable water bottle or sticking to a vegetarian diet. I don't usually think of these things as announcing anything, until someone else comments. As I was exiting the farm store a few weeks a go a couple walked past me in the parking lot, saw my bags, and said to each other "oh yea! we have bags in the car, let's go get them." I was secretly thrilled that they were inspired by my action to their own action, of course it was small, but it was still exciting. A similar thing happened when someone at a conference was explaining the excessive waste of plastic water bottles and used me (with my metal bottle) as an example. He was the one making the bigger impact, by actually speaking out, but I was proud to provide an easy reference point.
Sometimes the quiet announcements lead to conversations and education opportunities. I bring a vegetarian lunch to school each day, and one day another teacher asked why I had decided to become vegetarian. I took the opportunity to discuss the sustainability issues with meat production. Then, just a few weeks later she informed me that she'd decided to become a vegetarian, and to drag her whole family along with her. She asked a few more questions and I was able to be a further resource for how to transition meat out of her diet. And all I did was eat lunch in the presence of others.
People I know better (students and friends) are exposed to a slightly louder rumble of my eco-friendly behaviors. My classroom has paper and bottle recycling bins, and I vocally correct any student who uses the wrong bin. I usually don't have to do all the educating though, peers are great enforcers and yell at kids for "killing the trees!" if they ignore my reminders.
For those friends who pass the cut and make it into my apartment, things are much more obvious and I am more vocal. If you ask to use the bathroom you get told how to flush the toilet with grey water (but you have to ask to find out what the little pieces of cloth by the toilet are for). It's obvious that everything is on power strips, and that lighting is limited to just the area we are occupying. I don't hesitate to remind people to turn off the kitchen light as they leave the room or squirm at the idea of turning on the TV if we're otherwise occupied.
Some things, though, are just so exciting I have to shout it to the world. Getting my new (to me) keyboard was like that. I went on craigslist and found an amazing deal for a 72 key (that's huge in the keyboard world) instrument with amazing sound in excellent condition. It was so wonderful and I was so thrilled with this huge success of buying used that Twitter, my parents and my friends heard all about it. I still tell everyone who walks into the room how cheap I got it and how great the reviews are and just ramble on and on about it forever! Buying less is best, but buying used and getting something that you really love, just amazing.
So, while my blog banner says I "live life lightly and announcing it brightly" there are clearly many shades of brightness that occur on a day to day basis. And I think this is good; for me, and for those who have to spend time with me.
The math portion of this blog has moved to Drawing On Math Head over there for all the math posts from here and more!

Toni Bou gets his ninth victory in Barcelona
Toni Bou (Repsol Honda) returned to the top step of the podium at the fourth round of the 2015 FIM X-Trial World Championship held in Barcelona, Spain. His latest victory, the third of the season, was a hard fought one with last round winner Adam Raga (Gas Gas) taking the fight right until the final section.
Raga was a worthy runner up, finishing just four marks behind Bou and well clear of Albert Bou now leads Raga in the general standing by thirteen points with two rounds to go.
Bou said after the race, that "It was fantastic to achieve this victory at home. Adam [Raga] put a lot of pressure on me in a very technical race, where it was important not to make mistakes. I'm very happy about how it went. We were very nervous but we achieved a very important victory, because if Adam had won he would have been very close in the championship classification. But everything went well and I must congratulate the team that did a fantastic job".
The 2015 FIM X-Trial World Championship continues next Saturday in Wiener Neustadt, Austria.

OXO Good Grips Compact Food Scale Review
Reviewed by Laura Skinner
I was asked to review the OXO Good Grips Compact Food Scale, and the first thing that struck me when I received the scales was how compact the scales actually are. They are designed for 'portioning on the go' where you control the amount of food you eat by weighing it.
The compact size of the scales mean they are easy to put in a handbag or lunch box and are light enough to carry about if eating out.
However, regardless of whether you portion your food for dieting or not, these scales are perfect for any kitchen. They are easy to use and take a capacity of up to 500g. They also have a function to 'Add-and-weigh', which is handy for baking. The dials are clear and easy to read as the scales have an angled surface where you can read the measurement from above. This is a really nice feature as I have scales which are so hard to read and it really can affect the end result when baking.
There is an easy option to choose between US or metric by simply choosing which side of the scales to move the dial to. The bowl is quite light and fits neatly on top of the scales. It is dishwasher safe, however does feel quite fragile so would crack if dropped on a hard surface. However the bowl fits neatly over the scale which makes for easy storage.
I really like the scales, obviously they will not weigh large portions but then again that is not what they are designed for. They will definitely get a lot of use in my kitchen and I would recommend them.
They are priced at £12 which I feel is very reasonable.

Jeff Carlisle: Julian de Guzman a DP bust? Not anymore
The tag of Designated Player bust usually sticks to a player like superglue. Once the early poor performances are turned in, it doesn't matter whether it's Denilson, Lothar Matthaus or Nery Castillo, there is little to stop the ensuing downward spiral. That is, unless the player in question is FC Dallas midfielder Julian de Guzman.

Wolf Hollow: Book Review
Note: Affiliate links may be used in this post. I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you if you make a purchase through my affiliate link. Read my full disclosure policy here.
Book review:
"The year I turned twelve, I learned how to lie.
I don't mean the small fibs that children tell. I mean real lies fed by real fears — things I said and did that took me out of the life I'd always known and put me down hard into a new one.
It was the autumn of 1943 when my steady life began to spin, not only because of the war that had drawn the whole world into a screaming brawl, but also because of the dark-hearted girl who came to our hills and changed everything." – [popup_anything id="1810″]
Growing up in the shadows cast by two world wars, Annabelle has lived a mostly quiet, steady life in her small Pennsylvania town.
Until the day a new student named Betty Glengarry walks into her class. Betty quickly reveals herself to be cruel and manipulative, and while her bullying seems isolated at first, things quickly escalate, and reclusive World War I veteran Toby becomes a target of her attacks.
While others have always seen Toby's strangeness, Annabelle knows only kindness.
She will soon need to find the courage to stand as a lone voice of justice as tensions mount.
When Annabelle gets involved in a mess of cruelty and injustice, she finds herself in a very difficult spot. When she tells the truth no one believes her, but, when she lies she gets deeper and deeper into the mess she so desperately wants to get out of.
A tale of finding out what the right thing to do is,[popup_anything id="1810″]keeps you engaged until the very end. It stirs the question inside of you, "what would I have done in her situation?"
[popup_anything id="1810″]is a very good book. It is one that's get you thinking about right and wrong.
The characters in this book are all very strong, and equally relatable. The situations are impossible. Lauren Wolk does a wonderful job tying it all together into one brilliant masterpiece, that plays with your emotions.
I would not recommend this book to young children. It is better suited to teenagers and young adults, as the subject matter is very mature.
This book deals with big problems, extreme bullying, injuries and even death, which would prove very distressing for younger children.
[popup_anything id="1810″]is amazingly written but is certainly intended for an older audience.
I received it for Christmas and began reading it almost immediately. I finished it in only a few days, as I found it very un-put-downable.
After finishing however, it took me a little while to be able to read another book, as I was still very much involved in it even after I had the entire book.
[popup_anything id="1810″]is a must read for teens and adults alike!

I stumbled across your blog because I love checking out what other students are doing who also use Brave Writer. All I can say is WOW! My two kids who I still homeschool are 13 and 11 and I am always struggling to find good, solid, and engaging books for their age. But your recommendations section is fabulous! I plan to get a few from the library and we will be enjoying those over Christmas break.

I used to play badminton very often during JC time but after graduating from A level I stopped playing for quite a long while. I resume badminton fully in year 2. Anyway, below is the racket that I used and is using.
My first racket: Wilson Dynasmash 500
If I remember correctly I got this on promotion for S$69 . This is my first racket when I was really into badminton. That time I had no idea whatsoever how to choose racket. I didn't even know how to play in first place. So yes I simply bought this because my friends said it's decent and it was one of the cheaper ones in row. Dynasmash 500 is definitely good for smash. You can really feel the power in your smash, if you know how to smash that is. 😛 But for other aspects, not so good. My main problem with this racket is hitting a high back court shot and picking up a drop shot. The control and power is just not really there. Hence, it's not so easy to use for beginner but again when you're beginner, you can't really tell what's the difference also. As long as can hit and it's light then it's a good racket. But when you know to play, you'd start to see all these problems.
My Second Racket: Yonex NanoSpeed 800
I l♥ve my 2nd racket. I got it for S$89. Decent price for a Yonex Nanospeed series. I did quite a bit of research before buying to make sure this time I get the right racket for my playing style and I did! XD This racket gives me a lot more control than the first. Hence, I can play more variety of shot instead of just trying to smash my way through. The con is that I have to sacrifice the smashing power and speed but in return, I have more control over my smash. I can now smash to the left or right side line almost at will. It feels good to be in control. (^.^) For net play, nanospeed 800 is awesome too. So in a way, it's a very balanced build racket, which is very well suited for player like me who's not very sure what I'm good at doing but just wanting to be able to do everything reasonably well.

No matter how long the story was, he held all the pages in his hands, inches from his face, and drawled out each sentence. (The tales, inevitably, took place in the US South.) His performances, nonetheless, captivated everyone. He did all the voices of the characters and told them with an inviting cadence that was only broken by his nervously shuffling pages. Despite these limits, he was one of the best storytellers I've ever met.
You've never heard of him, and you should have. If only he'd been able to let go of those pages, you'd know how cleverly he constructed stories around fatal flaws, original sins, and all the deadly sins with humor and charm.
He could not accept criticism. He could barely accept praise. And, under no circumstances would he put those pages into anyone else's hands. It was all too personal. Too risky.
I was reminded of this when a writer I know, who had finished a novel, went back for yet another rewrite. In my opinion, she should let it go find its own truth in the world and begin something else. That's what writers who hope to have careers do.
It isn't necessary to gather up everything in your trunk (or on your hard disk) and send it off to magazines and book publishers. Some stuff should remain hidden (or maybe be burned). But most writers get better when they begin to hear what others think of their work.
I've had to hear quite a lot. From teachers who responded with red ink. Friends who couldn't get past the first page. Crit groups that came back with diametrically opposed advice. "Not for us" form rejections from editors. Rejections with handwritten notes (yes, I'm that old) in the margins. Editors who asked for revisions. And readers who sent notes. Each of these people contributed to helping me to share my work, to weigh and balance comments, to distinguish good projects from mediocre ones, to write better, and to be a better writer.
This is not to say that I have not had ups and downs, moments of despair, trips down blind alleys, and doubts. Even though you tell yourself people are responding to the work and not judging you, it can be hard not to believe you are being attacked, maligned, and found wanting as a person. In some cases, the feelings are right. There are critics who just want to score points, and trolls who find your existence to be intolerable. Take the risk anyway.
- Put your work into someone else's hands and let them read it.
- Join a critique group.
- Enter a contest.
- Pitch to an agent or an editor.
- Submit your work to a publication.
Do this when it is as good as you can make it (mostly). Don't wait until it's perfect before exposing it to the world.

This morning I set my alarm at 5:15, got dressed, grabbed my yoga mat and headed to Moga, a yoga studio that focuses on deep stretches to improve mobility, recovery, and quality of life.
I barely made it to the 6 am class. I could not find their building. Thank god I had my phone and they happened to post a picture on twitter of their view from the new studio and it led me in the right direction.
I probably looked like the opposite of a calm yogini as I ran into the studio huffing and puffing but the class quickly helped me to relax and enjoy an hour of deep stretching.
I really enjoyed the pace of the class. Some of the poses were very intense and we held them for long periods of time. It was just what my body needed after a race.
At the end of class, the instructor gave us a shot of coconut water. Love that!
I will definitely be going back.
When I got home I made myself a Green Monster Smoothie with chocolate protein powder, spinach, skim milk, and half a frozen banana.
The frozen banana is key! It makes the smoothie thicker and much more delicious!
At 5:30, Joe and I went on a 3 mile "recovery" run. This was probably one of the most miserable runs I have had in a while. It was way too hot to be running and my legs were very sore, probably from yoga and the race yesterday. The three miles dragged on in the heat. I was wiped out. Then, we went to the climbing gym and caught up with our friends while we climbed. It was a fun evening!
Tomorrow's Friday! Whee!

Today is The Day! Granddaughter #3 becomes the magical age of seven. We have gone from this….
to this…
She wanted a Frozen cake last year.
This year, she requested something with a snowman and snowflakes. Still frozen, but not with the Disney flourish.
After perusing hundreds of fabulous cakes, I combined about 8 of them with a splash of Meemaw.
Because Birthday Girl's mom and I decided on an 8″…considerably smaller than last year's production because that served about 100 and we did not want leftover cake wasting away through the month… my media was reduced to a really manageable size, therefore giving me more time to play ! After all, playing is the name of the game!
The snowglobe idea appeared in a Taste of Home magazine several years ago so I had tucked it away in my Favorites and then onto my Pinterest board.
Birthday Girl is a Fancy Nancy type so many glittered snowflakes were created…and many weren't used. I forgot that smaller cakes also call for fewer elements. Duh. That said, if any of you locals need snowflakes, just call me. Believe me when I say that blizzard hit my kitchen.
So, we, once again, have icy, snowy landscapes inside and outside. The next kid had better chose a Day at the Beach cake!!!

It's not a cliche when you say "life is a constant change", as change can clearly be seen in our everyday lives, and this includes today's preference for home service massage Quezon City as compared to the previously chosen spa massage. Don't get me wrong. Spa massage is still one of the most favorite relaxation and body pampering service that people today look for.
But with the emergence of home service massage offered by spa centers such as Pamper Patrol Spa, people can't pass the opportunity to enjoy a relaxing massage at the comfort of their own homes.
Are home services massages changing the course of massage treatments? Will it put an end to spa massages?
The Shift from Spa Massage to Home Service Massage
What has caused the shift from spa massage services to home service massage Tandang Sora? The very obvious answer to this question is the convenience that home service massages offer.
Let's see the difference between these two and see which one will benefit you most.
- Spa Massage
– Relax and de-stress at a professional spa salon.
– Amenities, equipment and supplies are complete.
– It is the ideal and most conducive place to revitalize your body and senses.
- Home Service Massage
– Just set an appointment and wait for your massage comfortably at home.
– Never face traffic and other stressors outside.
– The therapist brings all the necessary items for the massage.
– You make the setting as close to a spa as possible.
The massage treatments are all the same with a spa massage and a home service massage. The difference lies on the setting, along with some items used in the treatment.
If you want a complete spa experience, then the spa massage is the thing for you. But if you want to conveniently de-stress, a home massage is perfect.
The shift in consumers' preference towards the home service massage Sauyo is brought about by the hectic schedule and stressful life that people experience in the city. Traffic, pollution, crowded streets, and lack of time all make a person skip the spa and settle for a home massage.
Now, more and more spa services are being offered at home. Pamper Patrol Spa is even coming out with their eyebrow threading and body wax home service Quezon City.
Whether you want a spa experience or home service, Pamper Patrol Spa can give it to you. Check out their services now.

Harley-Davidson is recalling about 9,100 motorcycles because they can unexpectedly run out of fuel and stall, while Jaguar is recalling almost 300 vehicles because "prolonged, aggressive driving" could cause rear suspension failure, according to reports posted on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website.
The Harley-Davidson recall covers the 2013-14 FXSB Breakout and FXSBSE CVO Breakout models built from March 20, 2012, to March 10, 2014, according to the company's report.
Harley-Davidson said it learned of the problem in January when an engineer ran out of fuel. It investigated and concluded that a suspension difference on the recalled models changed the angle of the fuel tank by "approximately three degrees," causing an incorrect fuel-level reading. The company said it would update the software for the fuel-level sensor. There was no mention in the report of any accidents or injuries.
The Jaguar recall covers 2013-14 XJR, XFR-S and XKR-S GT models, according to the report the automaker filed with the safety agency.
The automaker told N.H.T.S.A. that during "road load data" testing it discovered that "in the event of prolonged, aggressive driving with frequent lateral and braking force inputs it is possible that the rear toe link will separate from the rear subframe." The defect could cause the wheel to suddenly lean inward or outward. Jaguar says that because "vehicle stability will be compromised and the degree of directional control minimized, this significantly increases the risk of an accident."
The automaker said it was not aware of any accidents, injuries or failures on customer vehicles related to what it called a "long-term durability concern."
In other actions:
Mazda is recalling about 5,700 of its 2014 Mazda 3 and 2014-15 Mazda 6 cars because of a problem with the regenerative engine braking system. The company says that in heavy rain or deep puddles, the generator belt may get wet and slip, which can cause the power control module to conclude that there is a failure of the energy storage capacitor. In such a case, the charging system would be stopped. If the driver were to ignore the associated warning light, the battery would be drained, which "will likely result in loss of steering assist, windshield wiper operation and the engine will finally stop operating."
The agency asked Mazda why it didn't recall the vehicles sooner because it knew about the problem last summer. Mazda said in its response that no recall was needed because the defect was not "an unreasonable risk to safety" because a warning light was illuminated. But, the automaker said, it decided to issue a recall in the United States after government safety officials in Japan insisted on a recall in that country.
Jaguar is recalling about 1,600 XFs from the 2013-14 model years because of a stalling problem, according to a report the automaker filed with the agency. Jaguar said the charge air-cooler hose on models with the 2-liter GTDi engine could detach, causing the engine "to cut out without warning," resulting in a loss of power assist for the steering and brakes.
Jaguar and Mazda each described their recalls as voluntary, but once a manufacturer is aware of a safety problem it must – within five business days – inform the agency of its plan for a recall or face a civil fine.

Published: 06 March 2009
The Department of Health has announced that from April 1 the charge for a prescription in England will increase from £7.10 to £7.20.
This comes after the Government has only just been attacked by the British Medical Association (BMA) for not following Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and getting rid of prescription charges altogether.
However, the Government is currently reviewing prescription charges and is looking to extend the number of medical conditions which not do have to pay.
Health minister Dawn Primarolo also outlined, in a written statement, changes to some dental treatment charges.
These include freezing the maximum charge for NHS dental treatments, such as the fitting of bridges, crowns or dentures, at its current rate of £198.
However, treatments which involve examinations, advice, a scale and polish or X-ray will increase from £16.20 to £16.50.
Fillings or extractions will also increase from £44.60 to £45.60 and optical vouchers will rise in value by 2% overall.
The BMA believes that prescriptions in England should be free for everyone and claims that charging people could put some off taking medications which are necessary for their health.

I frequently joke that for most business owners, creating or updating the policies and procedures manual ranks somewhere between doing annual employee reviews and closing down the business. For small businesses closing down the business usually happens before the office procedures are written. I often think that not having—and more importantly, not using—written business procedures is a reason why many small businesses fail within a year or two of starting.
Why are procedures at the bottom of the priority list? When procedures are explicitly stated and available to those who need them, they are an invaluable business management tool. They answer the who, what, when, where, and why questions about the company's business processes. They help specify what makes the company different from its competitors.
I plan to begin a series of blog posts championing the benefits of business procedures. Before I do, however, I want to briefly touch on the overall costs and benefits to small and medium sized companies of documenting their business processes by creating office procedures.
Costs of Written Business Procedures
There are some disadvantages to written business procedures. One commonly encountered disadvantage is igniting an employee rebellion against the creation of procedures. In the 1980s and 1990s, business process analysis and improvement (which required creating business procedures) became synonymous with the grim reaper appearing to cut expendable employees. Those still standing lived in mortal fear that a subsequent mowing would result in them being escorted out as well.
While this fear is understandable, employee morale and support for office procedures can actually be increased by management. Showing how the advantages (listed at the end of this post) of creating and following the policies and procedures manual benefits employees own self-interests goes a long way toward this. For an example of poorly managing employees' fear, however, watch the 1999 cult comedy Office Space.
Another disadvantage is the cost of creating the procedures. Depending on the complexity of the business process being documented and the level of detail needed in the documentation, costs, including managers and employee's time, to create procedures can range from under $200 to tens of thousands of dollars. The fact that the costs to document the business process are all upfront and easily identified, often swamp the longer payback time and often overlooked savings resulting from creating a policies and procedures manual.
While many business owners and managers think the biggest cost of written business procedures is their creation and maintenance, that's simply not true. The biggest cost is documenting the company's business processes in the form of a policies and procedures manual and then never taking the manual off the shelf.
Why? Because by not implementing the office procedures as documented the company loses all the benefits of documented procedures, swallows the costs to document the procedures, and reduces faith and support for any later projects to document the internal business processes.
Benefits of Written Business Procedures
The reason I think business procedures are so important is they provide a wealth (pun intended) of benefits to business managers. When procedures are used well they reduce waste in a variety of ways:
- Improve internal communication within the business
- Improve external communication with vendors and customers
- Simplify and quicken new hire training
- Ease workflow management, especially when work is conducted at multiple locations
- Provide a standard to measure performance by
- Facilitate creating a baseline to measure improvements by
- Help employees fulfill work responsibilities of those on vacation or sick
- Improve company value when selling business
If you know of any business that doesn't need one or more of the above benefits, copy what its management is doing! For companies that invest the time, money, and effort in creating, following, and updating company policies and procedures, they gain significant strategic advantages over their competitors.
Next time, I'll write about how creating and using business process documentation improves internal communication within the business.
If you care, share.

Divorce Lawyer

- 401K accounts, Pension, Social Security and Retirement

- Physical custody schedules

Contested Divorce Cases
If agreements cannot be reached, it is vital to have an experienced legal team ready to fight for you in family court. With tough negotiation skills, we will help uncover all applicable assets and conduct through the discovery process questioning and cross-examinations to protect your family's safety and maximize your comfort, stability and financial security.
Uncontested Divorce Cases
In uncontested cases, the divorce lawyers with Sherer Law Offices act as legal advisors to ensure agreements you reach with your spouse will actually protect you and your children. Oftentimes, parties reach an agreement without a full understanding of the legal ramifications. At Sherer Law Offices, we make sure you are thoroughly informed about your legal rights with answers specific to your case.
Mediation is intended to work out issues and give the parties some control over decisions for your children. In Illinois, where parties are not in agreement on all issues relative to custody and visitation, the court will order them to a minimum of 4 hours of appointed mediation. Parties can also hire a mediator on other issues, such as finances. Barbara Sherer is an experienced mediator and is available for independent hire during the mediation process. She can prepare documents to reflect an agreement that can then be turned into a court order, sparing you costly litigation fees.
* Mediators are certified after 40 hours of mediation training beyond Law School. If parties independently hire a mediator, that mediator cannot represent either of them in court if the case becomes contested. All discussions in mediation are confidential regardless of whether the mediation is court-ordered or by agreement.

I'm an avid user of Huel vegetarian protein and have been since January 2018.
There are very few products I endorse and Huel is one of them because of it's nutritional value, cost-effectiveness and convenience.
For the pancake recipe you can make your own oat flour if you have a blender with a pulse setting on it or it has a high rpm blend setting.
Making your own saves time and waste from unused flour.
Simply add your oats to the blender and pulse for one minute.
Check to make sure the mixture has been thoroughly blended by giving it a stir and blend again if required.
- 200g oat flour
- 2 scoops (60g) Huel
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1¾ cups milk
- ½ a banana
- 1 tsp coconut oil
How To Make Homemade Protein Pancakes
Place all the ingredients (except for the oil) into a blender and blend into a nice smooth batter then let it stand for 5 minutes to thicken.
Prepare a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat with the coconut oil.
Use ¼ cup portions for 15 small pancakes or ½ cup portions for 7 large pancakes.
Simply ladle the batter into the pan to the desired pancake size.
Once golden underneath, flip the pancake over and cook for a further minute or until golden and cooked through.
Here are some topping you could try: fresh fruit, zero fat Greek yogurt, a drizzle of honey, peanut butter.

Very near the ballpark, South of Market has a new sandwich shop, Merigan. It's a project from Liz Shaw, formerly of the legendary A16, and it wears its Italian-American heart on its sleeve. If you're from the Empire, Garden or possibly Nutmeg State -- or wherever sandwiches like this are called "heroes" -- you will like them.
However, Merigan might also be the most outrageously overpriced thing in San Francisco. A humble cheesesteak with provolone and grilled onions costs $17. Half an Italian Combo? Nine dollars. No chips, no pickle, just half a sandwich. If you order the full one and train your mind ignore anything that might feel like a potent metaphor for a city that is rapidly spinning away from your grasp, you're still holding in your hands two pieces of bread with some meat and things that together cost almost twice the minimum wage.
If it were a great sandwich, or proportioned with Scooby and Shaggy in mind, maybe one could almost overlook the price -- maybe. Salumeria sells $12 sandwiches that are extraordinarily good, and $12 is already a borderline insane amount to pay for a sandwich. But Merigan's Italian Combo was just a good sandwich, on par with Mr. Pickle's or Courtney's. Saison, which is around the block from Merigan, commands outlandish prices because it's basically the apex predator of the San Francisco dining ecosystem. This is just lunch that costs twice what it should, and five times as much as a great banh mi in the Tenderloin.

Survey targets needs of low-income neighborhoods in Madison County
EDWARDSVILLE — Madison County is seeking help to identify needs for low-income families, households and neighborhoods.
Madison County Community Development (MCCD) is asking residents, business owners and customers to help identify the needs and priorities for the expenditure of federal funds. Per the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development regulations, MCCD must conduct a needs assessment by soliciting the opinions of the county's residents, business owners, service providers, public officials and the general public.
The results of the survey will be used to establish goals for both the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME programs. Funding priority is primarily based on community input gathered through the survey and planning process.
The survey results will be a tool used to develop the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, a strategic plan that prioritizes the expenditures of CDBG and HOME funds that MCCD administers on behalf of HUD. As a direct result of surveys received, goals and priorities are set to establish what type of projects can be funded for the next five years.
To participate, visit Survey Monkey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MCCDCommunityNeedSurvey and complete the survey. For questions about the survey or to request a paper survey, contact Lisa Mersinger at 618-296-4398 or email@example.com.

E-2 Visa Renewal Process with Rupert Law Group
Let's get started talking about your E2 visa renewal. One of the most important parts of getting an E2 visa is making sure that you can renew it, so, let's talk about it. When should you renew? Well, most people are gonna wait until the end. However, there are a couple of situations where you may not want to wait until the end. If you are from a country that the visa allows only one or two entries and you need to leave the United States, that would be an early renewal. As you probably know, if you've used up all your entries to the United States, you will need to renew before you can come back to the country.
So, sometimes people have a family emergency or something else they need to leave the country, they're going to have to renew before coming back to the United States. In other instances, you may have personal reasons for wanting to renew early. In fact, I just did a visa renewal that was one year early. He had multiple entries and exits, so it wasn't about that. He had a personal reason that he wanted to renew early. He's going to be incredibly busy in the next year and didn't think he would have a chance to get back to his home country to do an interview. It was successful.
So it's really just about speaking with your attorney and making sure that you have a, you know, that you are prepared for the interview and you know kind of your reasons why and are able to articulate your reasons why you would do an early renewal. I should have skipped ahead because this is kind of all of the information that we just talked about. Oh, that's true. Even though I did do an early renewal for someone with multiple entries and exits, you know, you need to be close-ish to the renewal time.
As I mentioned, I got a renewal that was one year before the visa expired, but, you know, renewing two or three years before probably will not be successful. And in addition, you cannot really base on business issues, right? So, if you know, "Wow, things are tanking, I better get this renewal while I can." That's probably not a great reason to renew your visa. It really needs [inaudible 00:02:17] personal reason if you have multiple entries and exits.
And like we talked about, for limited entry visas, mostly it's going to be an emergency situation. I would ask you that if you know a situation is coming up, maybe a few weeks or even a month or two in advance, please contact an attorney right away, because then you can start gathering documents and get ready for your renewal when you leave. Otherwise, you'll be scrambling to find the documents that you need to renew and you may be in your home country for some time, which is obviously not great for your business if you're not here to run it. So, if you know that you're going to need to leave and you do not have another entry on your visa, please contact an attorney the moment you find out you're going to need to leave. And you and your attorney can really work together to get the document and make sure that you're going to be able to successfully renew. And if not, come up with a plan B, which we will talk about in a bit.
So, if you got just a regular renewal, please, please, contact your attorney about six months before the renewal is due. This gives you plenty of time, you're not going to be scrambling, and you're not going to be panicking, and neither is your attorney, about your renewal. And also, so important, as much of your original file from your original filing as possible. And if you have renewals before this, also those documents. It really will help your attorney make sure that you have the best possible chance for renewal. So, please keep all your documents from your first E2 and then all successive renewal. Keep as much of that as possible.
So, what's the process for renewal? I wish I had a really short answer to this. I do not. Every single country is different. Some of them want your two latest tax returns and to make sure that you still have a valid passport. Some want a complete packet as if it's the first time. So it really depends on your country. You can talk to your attorney about that, where you're from and on your plans for renewal, because they vary greatly.
So, what are some renewal red flags? No or very few employees, that could be a problem. Low income, low revenue, that could be a problem. No office or a business plan that varies greatly from the original business plan. No or few employees, let's talk about it. You are not going to be able to renew if you have no employees. You're not going to be approved if you have no employees, or if you have too few. You need to talk with your attorney about this. If you have some employees, but not very many, talk with your attorney about it, and it's really going to depend on the nature of your business, how many they're going to expect. So, speak with your attorney about that. The solution for this, hire someone. If you have contacted your attorneys six months before renewal, like we're hoping that you've done, you can hire someone. You have some time.
In fact, now is a great time. I'm working on one renewal right now of a person who had no employees. His renewal is due in July, which is fabulous. That gives us plenty of time, and even better, we are coming up on the end of the year. So if he hires someone in December, he will have a double E2 from 2018, and then of course we'll be able to bring payment documents for 2019 up to the time of his renewal. So if you're thinking, "Hey, I need to renew in 2019." No matter what the timing is, now is the time to hire someone because you can show that you had them in 2018, and then all the way up to your renewal.
Make sure that they're paid a living wage. Obviously there are minimum wages in every state, and you should of course know what the minimum wage is in your state and obviously you need to pay them higher than that. But the more the merrier. I mean, if you can pay them, you know, if your minimum wage is, I think it's $11 an hour in California, if you could pay them $15 an hour, even better. They want to see, the more people, the higher you're paying them, the better. Every business is different, of course, and every job title is different. You don't want to be paying the janitor $85,000 a year, but, you know, make it as many people and pay them as much as you can do.
Let's see, next year. So, low income or low revenue. As you may recall from your original E2, they expect this business to be what they consider not marginal, that's the language that they use. So, in order to ensure that you are not marginal, you need to be supporting yourself and your family, and others need to be supporting themselves and their families as well. If your business is not generating enough revenue to do that, that's going to potentially be an issue, so just remember that. You know, what is a low revenue? I have no idea. It's gonna depend so much on your business, where it is, what you do, that type of thing. So speak with your attorney about that.
I have someone right now who doesn't have very high revenue who's getting ready to renew in Turkey. I am telling her to get signed Letters of Intent from clients that she thinks she's gonna be working with next year. They haven't signed a contract yet but they are speaking with her about projects that are coming up first quarter, second quarter. So have some people that are going to buy services from you, sign some letters. "Yes, I intend to do business with this person, it's coming up in, you know, Q2, we expect this project to be a $50,000 project." You know, that type of thing. Those are always helpful, you know.
And then if you are in the retail-wholesale business, maybe try to get some letters from or purchase orders from folks that maybe they don't need it right now, but they intend to buy things of yours soon. Let's see. And then also you need to speak with your attorney and your attorney may give you some tips about speaking with your CPA. Obviously, a good CPA is a double edged sword. You pay a lot less in taxes but it shows a lot lower revenue. So, in some instances, if you are here on an E2 visa and need to renew, you may need to show even more revenue than you normally would, which of course means you'll pay more taxes than you normally would, but it's something that you may need to consider.
So, no office. As you may recall from your first E2, they really expect you to have a signed lease in an office, same is gonna go for the renewals. It doesn't need to be fancy, it doesn't need to be fabulous, it doesn't need to be in the downtown district, and, you know, big enough for 20 employees if you have 2. It just needs to be sign the lease, pay for it. I always say pay for it at least three months. It will help, you know, showing also a reinvestment, so.

Good morning, I've reached back in the archives for a couple of analog photos that I took during my Navy Years (1968). During Vietnam I was deployed on a carrier that traveled to Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore. In one of those places I encountered this Buddha Sculpture in a park. It is rendered in Sepia tones because the dyes in the transparency had faded away over the years.
Before I was deployed on the ship, I was stationed at Imperial Beach NAS in California. On weekends I would catch a bus and head to San Diego or the beaches up the coast. One one urban exploration I took the photo of the street sign. of the Strip Club, however I cannot verify the veracity of the advertising.

Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day. I was visiting my daughter and she took me to the Paramount Restaurant in South Boston. The food was great, a grilled chorizo Omelette.
I got a chuckle out of their seating policy too.
I often take photos of food and realized that if I could sell at least one, it might set me up for a life of leisure.

We took a road trip to Cape Ann to have lunch at the Halibut Point Restaurant in Gloucester, MA. We had oysters and chowder keeping with the atmosphere of this place.
I make it a habit to carry a camera with me for photo opportunities and I wasn't disappointed. Knowing that one of my favorite photos themes is #ToiletTuesday, I snapped these two shots. Tasteless or quaint, you decide.

The Rejuvenation
I feel rejuvenated.
Last month, I got back into fitness (fitness Chipotle in my mouth, am I right?). I am attempting to change up my routines slightly, as well as adding in HIIT. I've also started meal prepping, but not just the night before, because I don't have much time now. I'm on that real meal prep grind- Sunday = prep day. I'll keep you posted with how long this lasts.
I've also come to this idea. I generally swing back and forth between self-acceptance and having body issues. I also know I've come to accept this conclusion that I may not have the most bangin' bod ever. Sometimes, it's annoying to think, "I've been doing this for how long and I still look like this?" Instead, I like to think that I'm working out and eating right to be healthy.
Besides the physical health benefits, I really believe all this fitness and nutrition stuff does wonders for my mental and emotional well-being. I think the last 2 months of being lazy have been brutal. I felt like I didn't have any goals and I was just slowly throwing my hard work away. Yet, at the same time, I reveled in the laziness. It was so easy.
Now, I'm just glad I got myself back in. It's helpful to have fitness goals to keep me distracted from all the hate in the world. This year's SDCC panels have been so wonderful in reminding me of this too- I definitely sat there tearing up listening to great people inspire me with their words and love.
I've been meditating more frequently (hopefully, will get back into yoga as well). Some days have been tough trying to turn off my mind and stopping the panic attacks that tend to flare up during meditations.
This month, I don't have much going on, which will be nice. Focusing on the little things to keep me occupied, doing things I love to engage my mind and my heart. No big trips planned this month, but planning ahead for September/October and next year.
On a side note, finally got to play D&D again/legitimately after trying to years, thanks to the Destiny Pizzas crew. And it was as exciting as I imagined it to be! I greatly enjoy character creation and role-playing videogames, and I also love a good night of tabletop gaming. What a perfect combination!
I feel like I could write a whole novel just to flesh out my character, like all the wheels are turning in my head because I'm clearly hooked and already attached to my character. And in true Brian fashion, seconds after writing this, I decided to go ahead and do that- wrote up a whole backstory (in progress), and planning on transcribing each of our quests.
Also, decided to do the opposite of "stop watching TV" and instead binge-watched Stranger Things because I kept seeing it pop up all over social media so of course I had to watch it. Love it! D&D inspiration! I wish I was that geeky as a kid; I think I was just more school-nerdy (sorry to disappoint, ladies).
Also, thought I was enjoying Preacher up until that season finale where I realized I was balls-deep in fandom fervor, only enhanced by that memorable SDCC panel. It had been the only show I'd been watching this summer (besides the one day this weekend I spent watching Stranger Things, as noted above) and I'd been looking forward to it every Sunday. Quality material!
Chiptopia update: July Hot Status reached a few days before month's end! I have a nice respite, though I'm a bit worried about my meal prepping starting today, which will definitely interfere with this. That said, I found it rather easy to get 11 burritos with the help of my friends (people really appreciate free deliveries). I definitely have a system now. And only eating Chipotle when I eat out has actually allowed me to save money. Now, I continue my journey with a clean slate. Once more, into the fold (breach? fray?)! Everything sounds like an inspirational D&D battle cry now.
Pokemon Go update: Actually, not as addicted as I was. It lost a bit of its luster, which is fine. My battery thanks me. I only pull it out when I'm with friends or in a new area to check out the wild Pokemon there. Otherwise, not really finding it as exciting when a Pidgey pops up and I hatch yet another Weedle. All I want is to catch all of Gen 1 and I'll be good. That's my only goal, not that interested in gyms or CP anymore. "To catch them is my real test…"
Food Lab:
– Mango lassi pops: popsicles were a must for me this summer, and I love the marbling effect that some pops have. Nothing better than healthy options, because fruit is nature's candy. I love mango lassi and was excited to try this recipe modified from Just One Cookbook. Very simple.
– Also decided to recreate Big Stick pops because they're my favorite. Used pineapple and strawberry and added a dash of grenadine. Simple and healthy. Pureeing fruits is fun. The hard part was straining the strawberry puree to get rid of the seeds, but that's just optional.
– As always, peep the Instagram in the sidebar for pics. The marbling for both came out surprisingly well.

A few weeks back, the New York Times looked at the "mystery" of Spain's high level of unemployment.
The article highlighted a real debate about the right level of job protection in Spain, and in Europe.
But the headline obviously stuck in my mind. I do not think there should be any significant debate over why Spain continues to have a very high level of unemployment.
Look at employment. It is down well over over 10 percent from its pre-crisis levels. Even with the current recovery, there are over 2.5 million fewer people at work in Spain today than in 2007 (18 million versus 20.7 million workers over age 15 using the harmonized EU data; the national data has a similar change but a slightly higher level)
And domestic demand is also down well over 10 percentage points.
No mystery.* If demand in the United States was 10 percent below its 2007 level, rather than roughly 10 percent above its 2007 level, I would certainly hope that there would not be much of a debate on the source of a weak labor market.
Spain did have a rather high level of unemployment back in the 1990s. Yet when demand was strong, folks were pulled into the labor market. Joblessness fell. From 2005 on, Spain's labor market institutions were consistent will unemployment rates of well below 10 percent.
And—unless the stories European policy makers tell themselves are off—Spain's labor market institutions should work better today than they did prior to the crisis. It is thus hard to see changes in labor laws since 2005 can explain why there are fewer people working now than in 2005.
That gets at the critical issue. The kind of structural reforms that facilitate an internal devaluation have an ambiguous impact on employment, especially in the short-run—a point now recognized by the IMF. Lower wages increase competitiveness, and support exports. But lower wages also mean less demand throughout the economy.
Spain's case is particularly striking (Matthew Klein's overview is still among the best places to start). Exports have done relatively well. They have added a cumulative 6 percentage points or so to Spain's GDP since 2007. Spain is not Greece, which has struggled to raise overall exports even with a big fall in wages.
Thanks to what in the United States would be called transplants, Spain produces more cars than any European country not named Germany. More than Britain, France or Italy—all bigger economies. Spain now produces over 2 million cars a year, and about 2.75 million cars and trucks.
But there are still over half a million fewer jobs jobs in Spanish manufacturing than there were back in 2007.
One reason: Internal car sales are now only 1 million or so. That is well above lows of around 0.75 million a year, but still down significantly from the pre-crisis level of 1.5 million a year.
And more broadly, the change in "jobs" still tracks changes in internal demand not changes in exports, or the change in GDP. I measured all the real variables as contributions to GDP—and did the absolute change in jobs. But choosing other scale variables doesn't change the story. Changes in demand and changes in jobs map to each other.**
This shouldn't be a surprise. The export sector is generally more productive than domestically facing sectors. So it takes a really large expansion of exports to generate enough jobs to offset the fall in jobs from a large fall in internal demand. Exports would need to be up by closer 15 percentage points of GDP not 5 percentage points of GDP to offset the jobs impact of an over 10 percent fall in domestic demand (even taking into account the fall in imports).
Job creation through internal devaluation and demand compression has proved to be a very difficult policy to pull off, especially inside a currency union where the stronger economies are themselves not generating large wage or price rises. Spain ran a large current account deficit prior to the global crisis and needed to reorient its economy toward exports. And to a significant degree it has done so. But that alone cannot easily compensate for the jobs lost from the fall in internal demand.
Spain needed—and needs—policies in the euro area that would make adjustments in relative wages and prices possible without outright falls in Spanish prices and wages. That would allow external adjustment with less internal demand compression.
And then there is the question of fiscal policy. Spain still runs a sizable fiscal deficit, around 5 percent of GDP. Domestic demand would be far lower than it is without that deficit. Yet there will be pressure to push any new Spanish government to bring that deficit down to meet European fiscal targets. And the best conceptual option—finding a way for demand supporting policies to be funded by the euro area as a whole—is not on the table.
* Peter Eavis of the New York Times obviously did not choose the headline on his article. And his article mentions the broader European debate on supporting demand versus prioritizing structural reform. But the emphasis was on demand-promoting policies by the euro area as whole. The variable that was left out, in my view, was Spain's own level of demand.
** Greek employment is also down around 20 percent. But in Greece's case the fall in jobs has been more moderate than the brutal fall in overall demand.

I Love My Pockets – Kid's Poem
I love my pockets, they keep many things for me
Sometimes I hide stuff in them when I pick up anything I see
My pocket is my pal, it's better than my bag
Because in it I can carry my pet frog
My pocket knows all my secrets I write on pieces of paper
It held for me an entire week the donut from the baker
My mommy says one of my pockets was filled with gum
But all I did was ate half and offered my pocket some
I have different color pockets
Some black, some white, some brown and some blue
I have pockets that are very old and pockets very new
I have pockets to the side and pockets to the back
I have pockets on my jeans and my jacket top
I have pockets that are torn, but I feel sad for them
But then my mommy works her magic and makes them good again
Whenever grandpa gives me coins I put them in my pocket and lets them jingle
All my pockets are in pairs, I don't like when they are single
I stick my hands in my pockets and it makes them warm
My pockets are like a wonderful charm
Thank you pocket, you are always good
You are always near me, just like you should.
© 2017 Clive Williams
Even as an adult I love my pockets! This is a fun poem.
Very fun. You do delight with words.
My hiking shorts have eleven pockets. And my Guayabera Shirt shirt has four.
My bad was chocolate candy bars in my pockets to wash.
A fun and innocent piece of poetry Clive,enjoyed it a lot.
Bless you.
True story: Bev buys clothes depending on the number of pockets they have. LOL I have to share this with her.
clever, cute and a fun poem awesome bro

MagnusJ had een nieuw andere ontwerp nodig en lanceerde daarom een wedstrijd op 99designs.
Een winnaar werd gekozen uit31 ontwerpen ingezonden door14 freelance designers.
Guess Who Game
Guess Who is a casual web based social networking game.
It presents a scrambled photo, and the user then guesses on to whom this photo belongs to. It allows the user to switch to an easier level (less scrambled) or skip to another photo. The user is rewarded with points, more points for guessing correct on a harder level.
The current prototype application consists of 4 tabs. A main tab/page and the others are used to look at meta data and change settings.
The main activity would be in the first "guessing" tab.
It's not necessary that these tabs are presented in a straight line.
At least one tab presents information in a table view.
I want a design that isn't as stiff, boring and business like as the current design is. It should be pleasing to the eye, more streamlined "game-like".
I can perhaps envision graphical design elements such as flowers and/or softer rounder shapes. More fun and casual than what I currently have.
Technically, the design should be simple to convert to HTML/CSS and fit in an iFrame of 760pixels width.
The original artwork (PhotoShop/Illustrator/etc) should be available for further adjustments if needed)
UPDATE: I don't want the screenshots themselves redesigned. I want a design to be used in a web page. (The screenshots are there for the purpose of giving an idea how the prototype looks like, what the concepts and purpose of this app is). The restrictions of this web page is that it should be max 760 px wide. The prominent thing is the photo that the user should act upon. At the moment it is 456x300px (but I can adjust that if needed).
UPDATE: Some more thoughts. I want users of this social game to experience a more causal and joyful visual look than he current prototype in the attached screenshots. I'll try to describe in some words (but please don't let these words limit your artistic freedom); Trees/flowers/sun/clouds/colors/soft/rounded corners/joy/enlightenment/pleasant/fun/green/yellow etc... Right now, the prototype is the opposite; business like/boring/square
Although the prototype has 4 tabs, the most important tab would be the one seen in the first file(GuessWhoScreenshot.PNG), where the user sees the photo and makes his/her guess. The other tabs is (just) meta data content. And again, the tab selection doesn't have to be designed like in the prototype (on a straight line), they can be in a half circle, arc, etc. whatever suits the overall design.
UPDATE: Removed the requirement for HTML/CSS since it violates 99Designs rules.
UPDATE: It's important that visual elements are in separated layers so that I can make adjustments/replacements.
The target demographics are mainly females and people who like to being updated on what their friends are up to. It's most likely a mixture of young people (late teens) up to seniors.
The current logo can be replaced if a better suited one is available.
