Off Premises Utility Services Interruption Coverage
A heavy storm is rolling through your area. Lightning strikes a nearby transformer. Your business has no power…for the next three days. Will your property policy respond adequately, if at all?
When manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors are examining their property insurance needs, the focus in this area tends to be on the larger, "important" items. These items include limits for the building, personal property, personal property of others and business income if the business were to experience losses from the "important" perils such as fire, wind, flood and/or earthquake. However, many businesses experience other types of losses that are either excluded completely or subject to sub-limits because it's only provided through the Extensions and Supplemental coverage portions of their policy. One Extension coverage limit that should be reviewed for adequacy is Off-Premises Utility Services Interruption.
If one of your utility suppliers (e.g. water, communication, power) should experience damage away from your premises from a peril (e.g. fire, lightning, etc.) that's included in your property policy's Cause of Loss form and this damage causes your business to incur property damage, then this extension is where you could potentially be reimbursed by your insurer.
When reviewing your property coverage information with your insurance broker, the following are several items to keep in mind in regards to off-premises utility services interruption:
- There are two separate and distinct limits associated with this coverage and both should be included on your policy:
1. Property damage (PD)
2. Business income/extra expense (BI/EE) (i.e. time element (TE))
- Losses caused by damage to overhead transmission lines are typically excluded (this is applicable to PD & BI/EE). Some insurance companies will consider including coverage for overhead transmission lines for an additional premium. It never hurts to ask if this is an available option.
- If included at all, property damage limits provided by an insurance carrier typically can range from $2,500 to $25,000. Depending on the size of your business/facility, you may want to consider increasing these limits to the range of $100,000-$500,000.
- If included at all, business income/extra expense limits are usually lower than the property damage limit offered and are subject to a waiting period of 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours or 72 hours. At a minimum, you may want to consider increasing the BI/EE limits to match your PD limit, or depending on the size of your business/facility, you may want to also increase these limits to the range of $100,000-$500,000. Additionally, the fewer the hours for a waiting period, the better.

Using What You Have Learned
The reading proper is over, but the inner work is just beginning. Your goal is to integrate what you have learned into your life in some way. If you don't, your tarot practice will remain a beautiful pastime with no power to help you. As the days go by, think about your reading and how it meshes with your life. Ask yourself these questions Using what you have learned in a reading is probably the most important step - and the most difficult. It involves moving beyond playing with the cards. When you actually commit to integrating your tarot insights into your life, you have realized the true and lasting benefit to be gained from the cards.
Exercise Writing a Tarot Question
You are going to write a question for your first tarot reading. Think about your life for a moment, and choose an area in which you are having some difficulty. (We all have one of these ) Avoid general concerns such as finding a life partner. Pick a specific everyday problem that is troubling you right now in your home or workplace. Choose something that involves you directly and that you care about personally. Follow the recommendations in lesson 7 for writing an effective question. Take notes as you go. We will be using these notes and your question in the next lesson.
Exercise Doing an Open Reading
During the next few weeks, look for an opportunity to try an Open Reading. I recommend a fairly quiet day when you feel at peace with your life and attuned to the moment. It should be a day when you have the time and inclination to step back a little and look at the larger patterns that are influencing you at this time. If a birthday, anniversary or other special occasion happens to fall during this period, use it as the basis for your reading. Follow the procedure described in lesson 10. (You can also refer to the step-by-step outline.)
The Language of the Tarot Images in Pattern and Sequence
Similarly, by reference to the path of the Earth around the Sun as a function of our time circle, the Dawn of the Year, or the Spring, and all that is associated with it in terms of new life, may be associated with the Sword cards. In like manner the Wands relate to the powers of Summer the Cups to the powers of Autumn, and the Coins to those of Winter.
Tarot Ritual and Divination
Forms of expression by stepping through a luminous veil of transmutation or changing of means of material expression. The death known to a fallen world is a travesty, a distorted shadow, of this process. The Last Judgement The call to the new life of all that is past and in error, of all that sleeps in the vale of illusion. The birth into cosmic citizenship.
The Major Arcana and Personal Growth
The card's other symbolism reflects its dual aspects. He holds an ankh, Egyptian symbol of life, to indicate that under the law he bears the power of life and death, and will hopefully use it well. Four rams, symbols of Aries, adorn his throne while at the crown's peak he bears the sign of Aries (unfortunately resembling a propellor). Now, Aries symbolizes force, aggression and war, but as the first sign of the zodiac it also signifies the new life of spring, which can emerge from the stability of a just society. In ancient times, where the Goddess reigned, the king performed a special function. New life can only come from death therefore, each winter, the Goddess's representatives sacrificed the old king, very often dismembering him and planting the pieces in the ground, thereby mystically fertilizing the earth. Later, when the male dominated religions took over, the king came to symbolize the rule of law which had clamped a lid of repression on what seemed to the patriarchs as the...
Introduction to the Tarot
Years ago, when I told my brother I was studying the tarot, his first comment was, How can a deck of cards possibly tell you anything about anything I laughed because I thought his reply summed up pretty well the common sense view of the cards. I, too, had my doubts about the tarot, but I found out that the cards can make a real difference in the way you perceive and deal with the challenges in your life. In this introduction, I'll try to explain why.
Major and Minor Arcana Cards
A major arcana card represents an energy that is deep, strong, decisive or long-term. When a major arcana card appears in a reading, you have tapped into a powerful energy in some area of your life. The minor arcana cards do not carry the same weight, but they are still important. They chart the ups and downs of daily life and register changes in You could draw a minor arcana card in one reading and then draw a major arcana card about the same subject in a later reading. What started as minor has become more important over time. Similarly, a major matter can fade and lose its urgency as your life changes. You can assume that a major arcana card brings greater energy to whatever area it represents. Give that aspect extra consideration and take advantage of the power building there.
A wand is a strong, masculine object, alive with potent force. Leaves are growing as new life bursts forth. The wand reminds us of a magic wand used to perform miracles and create wonders. The gift of the Ace of Wands is creativity, enthusiasm, courage and confidence. Aces are portals between the realms of the major and minor arcanas. They allow powerful, but impersonal forces to come into your life. An Ace in a reading shows that its qualities are becoming available to you. If you take advantage of them, you will achieve greater happiness and success. An Ace is always interpreted as beneficial, positive and life-enhancing. to make real and important changes in your life.
No Tower built upon false foundations can withstand the raw energy of purification. The ivory fortress of the intellect, the prideful Chantry of ambition, the lonely citadel of the isolated self and the paper constructs of the material world become targets for destruction. Cast into the dimensions of uncertainty, those who dwelt in ignorance must face a new beginning.
Having confidence
An Ace-Ace pair shows that a new spirit is entering your life. It draws on the energy of the Ace of Wands The Ace of Wands is a symbol of possibility in the area of creativity, excitement, adventure, courage and personal power. In readings, it shows that a seed of bold enthusiasm has been planted in your life although you may not yet recognize it. When the seed sprouts, it could take almost any form. It might be a creative idea, surge of optimism or need to act boldly. On the outside, it could be an offer, gift, opportunity, encounter or synchronistic event. When you see this Ace, examine your life to see how its potent, confident energy could work for you. Be daring and brave. Sometimes you have to risk to get what you want. Look for the path that will excite you and push you beyond your limits. Seize the initiative, and let your enthusiasm take you to new heights. Wands are the suit of individual power and fulfillment. This Ace tells you that a time of passion is beginning. You will...
Ace Of Swords
An Ace-Ace pair shows that a new spirit is entering your life. It draws on the energy of the Ace of Swords The Ace of Swords is a symbol of possibility in the area of intelligence, reason, justice, truth, clarity and fortitude. In readings, it shows that a seed of clear understanding has been planted in your life although you may not yet recognize it. When the seed sprouts, it could take almost any form. It might be a compelling idea, desire for the truth, call to justice, or a need to be honest. On the outside, it could be an offer, gift, opportunity, encounter or synchronistic event. When you see the Ace of Swords, examine your life to see how its clean, sharp energy could work for you. Think about your problem objectively. Look for situations that are unjust or confusing and resolve to set them right. Above all else, commit to being honest and ethical. This card tells you that you do have the inner resources to overcome all
Final Thoughts
The cards in the tarot are not good or bad in themselves. They only describe certain energies or influences. It is up to you to use this information to make conscious choices about your life. Although the Tower can show a shattering breakup or downfall of some kind, you do not have to view this negatively. Sometimes an explosion of feeling or dramatic shakeup provides welcome relief, clearing the air and freeing up new energy. A tarot practice is based on the understanding that wisdom from some Source will come to you through the cards. At first, you may have to accept this on faith, but after awhile you will receive the proof you need in the results you experience in your life. If you can approach the cards with trust, your tarot practice will take off. Good luck
Writing a Question
Most of the time you will want to consult the tarot because you are facing a problem or challenge. Something about your life is troubling you, and you want to understand why it is happening and what you can do about it. The best kind of tarot reading for this situation is the Question Reading. You write a question about your problem, and you receive your answer by interpreting the cards. The question helps you relate the guidance you receive to your situation in a way that makes sense. In this lesson, I describe how to create a question for a reading you do for yourself.
The Spread
The most important feature of a spread is the fact that each position has a unique meaning that colors the interpretation of whatever card falls in that spot. For example, the Four of Pentacles stands for possessiveness, control, and blocked change. If this card were to fall in Position 4 of the Celtic Cross Spread (the Past position), you would look at how these qualities are moving out of your life. In Position 6 (the Future ), you would instead view them as coming into your life - a quite different interpretation.
To fully understand the female principle and evolutionary process, we must realize that the mystery of woman and her ability to produce children is unique and God-given. We must learn to appreciate the qualities of motherhood and how the strength of the female relates to earthly responsibilities. Woman plays a remarkable role in nature it is through her that man is born. The Empress in all her feminine glory fulfills every man's dreams and hopes. We should attempt to study her earthly role and feel the essence of life pulsate in every living thing. Know the majestic splendor of continual reproduction in the whole concept of nature. Experience the throb of Divinity in every growing thing. Learn to listen to the constant cry of mankind reaching out to touch its destiny. Through each other, man and woman should find peace and harmony. Meditation on this vibrant symbol will teach us the true purpose of life. We must understand that the Empress does not represent the female alone in her...
Te Opening Trumps
The divinatory meanings of the Magician derive from both hands, the one which receives the power and the one which directs. The card means first of all an awareness of power in your life, of spirit or simple excitement possessing you. It can also mean, depending on its position and your reaction to it, someone else's power affecting you. Like the Fool, the card refers to beginnings, but here the first actual steps. It can mean both the inspiration to begin some new project or phase of life, and the excitement that sustains you through the hard work to reach your goal. For many people the Magician can become a strong personal symbol for the creative force throughout their lives.
The Fool
This fool is man who has passed through the most advanced stages of human development on earth and has reached the highest level. His consciousness has united with the divine. Yet in so doing he has removed himself so far in spirit from his fellow-men that nobody understands him any longer. Already as the hanged man he saw everything the other way round but even if he saw everything in this way, he did so from a human point of view. Now that he has crossed the threshold between the two worlds and finally died in the grave-furnace as a mortal human being to rise to a new life as a heavenly being, he can no longer see anything from the human
Card Pairs
A tarot reading is a map of all the counterbalancing tendencies that are or could be operating in your life at one time. To read this map, you must understand the Law of Opposition - that any quality, once identified, implies its opposite. This is a basic principle of the material universe. The Fool discovers this principle at the very beginning of his journey when he meets the Magician and the High Priestess. These two show him that nothing can be defined in isolation, only as one pole of a balancing pair. In a reading, these two cards could be showing you the importance of the restriction freedom issue in your life. They define the extreme ends of a continuum of experience from which you choose the best balance point for yourself. There are three types of card pairs.
Dark Eyes Olive Skin
Before you move on to the next Family, spend an evening studying the WANDS, getting to feel more and more at home with them. Think of them as a family that has just moved in next door. They have invited you over for an evening to get acquainted. It takes time to get to know your neighbors properly, so don't be in a hurry. Enjoy the time you spend with them, realize that they will be a part of your life from now on.
Ffi Wisdom Cards
The Midwife (neutral good, Wisdom) is a conduit to creation, although she does not create on her own. This halfling is a key that lets new life or information into the world. Her heart can see the good in even the worst situation. She can see the import of any new arrival, but if the card is misaligned, the new arrival will likely not inspire much joy.
In readings, the King of Swords asks you to take the kinds of actions he might take. For example telling the truth, thinking up a solution, communicating well, or judging fairly. This King can also represent a man or woman who is acting as he does, or an atmosphere of reason, honesty and high standards. In a reading, he tells you that his special energy has meaning for you at this time. Let yourself be inspired by this King in whatever form he appears in your life. An Ace-Ace pair shows that a new spirit is entering your life. It draws on the energy of the Ace of Pentacles The Ace of Pentacles is a symbol of possibility in the area of prosperity, abundance, trust, security and groundedness. In readings, it shows that a seed of productivity has been planted in your life although you may not yet recognize it. When the seed sprouts, it could take almost any form. It might be a feeling of centeredness, desire for results or need to focus on practical matters. On the outside, it could be...

(First posted at Moms Clean Air Force)
The dog days of summer are here. The last few beauties before the busy fall kicks in. Have you lingered on your porch with a good book? There is still time.
Here are the latest books in the areas of climate change, nature, parenting and historical fiction that are on my to-read list!
While Glaciers Slept: Staying Human in the Time of Climate by M. Jackson
Understanding the science of climate change is not enough. As parent activists, we must get the heart of our issue — how climate change affects children. Families and community stories are vital to the movement.
These are complex times we are living in. One cannot separate the loss involved with climate change and our human hearts, or so M. Jackson, author of the new book While Glaciers Slept: Staying Human in the Time of Climate Change shares. Publishing this month, the book's foreword is written by climate hero Bill McKibben.
According to the Library Journal:
"Reminiscent of Bill McKibben's Eaarth, this title will interest readers of environmental issues, particularly climate change and a warming Arctic region, and fans of personal narratives."
Make climate change personal? Yes, please. We need more passion and heart driven action. I'm looking forward to this one!
How to Raise an Adult: Break Free from the Overparenting Trap and Prepare your Kid for Success by Julie Lythcott-Hains
I have a 10 year old. I can barely face the idea that she will be in fifth grade shortly and embarking on the middle school years. I know it's time for her to start having more responsibility and independence. So when I saw How to Raise an Adult: Break Free From the Overparenting Trap and Prepare your Kid for Succes, I was very interested. According to Lythcott-Hains (and the many teachers, admissions officers, and employers she interviewed), helicoptering our kids into many life-long problems has to change course.
According to Daniel Pink (Have you read his book, A Whole New Mind? Another great one.):
"Have the good intentions of American parents gone awry? In this timely and bracing work, Julie Lythcott-Haims chronicles the many dangers of overparenting — from thwarting children's growth to hurting their job prospects to damaging parents' own well-being. Then she charts a smart, compassionate alternative approach that treats kids as wildflowers to be nourished rather than bonsai trees to be cultivated."
I'm all for hearty-self reliance and grit — especially for raising kids who are ready to tackle the world's most vexing problems: poverty, climate change, and living sustainably. As the smart mamas at the recent Play In for Climate Action noted, we need to be able to talk about hard things with our kids — like issues of climate change. Otherwise, "You're going to have ignorant adults who think everything is a fairy tale, and it's not," said Victoria Gutierrez, a Moms Clean Air Force Play-In attendee. Ignorance and helicopter parenting is not going to help raise independent, strong kids who can fight climate change.
H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald
I can't go anywhere this summer without someone either recommending this book or telling me they are currently reading it. H is for Hawk chronicles Macdonald's life as she tries to deal with the sudden death of her father and finds herself drawn to the wild goshawk. As an experienced falconer, she finds power, solace, and a challenge in trying to train and work with a fierce goshawk. This book blends personal narrative, nature writing, and humor in a new and creative way.
According to Time magazine,
"Extraordinary . . . indelible . . . [it contains] one of the most memorable passages I've read this year, or for that matter this decade . . . Mabel is described so vividly she becomes almost physically present on the page."
Who couldn't use inspiration and lessons from nature on life, death, loss and our collective wandering, wild spirit?
The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd
When I saw this new book by Sue Monk Kidd, I knew I had to read it. This is the author of one of my favorite books, The Secret Life of Bees. I had no idea what The Invention of Wings was about when I picked it up. This searing book takes place in Charleston, South Carolina during the shameful time of slavery. It is set in the early 1800s and based on the lives of abolitionists and suffragettes Sara and Nina Grimke, who rallied against slavery and were banished from their church and town because of their activism. But how did their lives start? This is where The Invention of Wingsbegins. It is the harrowing story of three women whose journeys intertwine and intersect across lines of friendship, slavery, feminism, loss, utter despair and unending hope. What arises is a sense of place and time that few understand and how relationships can transcend even the most terrible of foundations.
This book shows how women have always been central to passionate causes that intersect across lines of race, gender, equality and environment. One cannot separate these issues. While the book focuses on race and gender, it provides an inspiring narrative of women working together despite incredible challenges, misinformation, terrible policies, and serious setbacks. Sound familiar to the struggle to fight climate change? The stakes are incredibly high and we face many obstacles, but our work must continue, just as the Grimke's did.
Have you read any of these books? Please let us know what's on your reading list!

The second rip of Burroughs's Nova Trilogy has left my brain blown apart into discrete pieces before being pasted back together like the collage of consciousness presented in the book — which is to say i dont know where to begin. (The beginning of the book, in a slightly different version than my edition's text, can be heard aloud from the author here.)
There might be at least three global catastrophes involving the mass combustion of the Earth, a Lovecraftian or Event Horizon-esque descent into violence and depravity and madness among the human population, and the swift destruction of all language leaving silence in its wake. There's also a brief scene of a boiler explosion on a ship. There's an odd Biological Court bureaucracy in which lawyers fold-in their reports with pages from Kafka. We learn a bit about the elusive Nova Mob, opposed by a righteous Nova Police Agency. A noir story in outer space is spliced in with newspaper articles, Shakespeare, THE GREAT GATSBY, Conrad, and Joyce's DUBLINERS (typically the final words). Although NOVA EXPRESS is often listed as the third book, Oliver Harris's introduction informs us that it is in fact the middle volume, although it's also the third book of a trilogy including NAKED LUNCH and THE SOFT MACHINE, which is explicitly acknowledged in the text. Nothing's ever straight with W S. B.

Michigan Water Crisis – New and Improved
It's heartening to see the reaction to the per-and-polyfluoroalkyl chemicals, known collectively as PFAS, found contaminating the water supply of Parchment, Michigan. The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality appears to be engaged and vigilant. The governor and lieutenant-governor seem to be listening and involved. The local governments are actively working together, including the city of Kalamazoo quickly extending its water system.
Sure, it's not perfect. It can't be. Not with this many people and groups of people involved. The fact that the contamination exists is testament to our uneven track record in managing consequences. The city of Parchment was created to manufacture paper, after all, not to ensure the water remained pristine.
But now, this current set of people seem intent on doing the right thing. The mess needs to be fixed. Health and lives need to be protected. That is commendable.
Still, the real reason why intentions are so good can be directly linked to the Flint Water Crisis. Without that obvious (and continued) failure, there is no doubt Parchment would be enjoying a much lower level of attention.
So as is often the case, the biggest heroes are not necessarily the ones who are doing the right things — they're the ones who have made the biggest sacrifice, despite it never being their intention.

November 24, 2003
We are in the midst of that most American of traditions, traveling to be with family for a major holiday. The has brought us into contact with several other major American traditions, some good and others not so good.
Topping the not so good list is that affront we call the public restroom. In our trip from Illinois to North Carolina we saw the complete spectrum of public restrooms. One instance was so bad that I wanted to clean the bottoms of my shoes before getting back into the car afterwards. Another was so clean and well kept that we wanted to schedule a stop there on the return visit because it was such a pleasant experience.
Being male I get to experience the restroom leavings all all those barely civilized creatures with whom I share common plumbing. It's almost as if they are in a contest to see how badly they can treat this shared public space. One wonders how they manage to alter their piss-poor habits while at home. And then one feels sorry for the partner left to clean up their rudeness.
I suspect that more men are like me than not, but traveling along our interstate highway system exposes you to a breed of male that is determined to make us all look like mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging louts.
Another bathroom related failing is the advent of the single huge roll of toilet paper. I suppose this reduces the number of re-stocking visits required by the maintenance staff, but that only leads to the problem discussed above. I find these huge roll dispensers a pain for two reasons. One, it is impossible to remove the paper you want to use without turning it into a long rope of paper rather then getting normal tissue width. Having to spend time unfurling the tissue before using it irks me.
The second problem is how these dispensers are mounted on the stalls. Usually the are so low as to require I bend and contort myself over my knees to get at the end, hidden somewhere inside the opening of the dispenser. And I get to scrape my hands on the metal teeth designed to tear this industrial strength paper trying to get the roll started again. Of course these same teeth are incapable of tearing the paper itself, as it is really some form of high tensile fabric better suited for polishing rough metal than acting as toilet paper.
Americans are so hypocritical about their bathroom experiences. We profess to be the nation with the highest standard of living and yet we force ourselves to suffer the ignominy of public restrooms.

HSN vendor Padma Lakshmi, in between being involved in a custody fight, has still found time to go house-hunting in Manhattan.
The New York Post reported Thursday that Lakshmi, of "Top Chef" fame, was spotted being chauffered around in a stretch BMW to check out places to live downtown, including a $11 million five-bedroom condo in the Greenwich building on West 13th Street.
That humble abode was a mere 4,535 square feet. The brunette beauty has also scoped out "Upper East Side mansions" and "funky downtown pads," according to the Post.
Lakshmi recently made tabloid headlines because the father of her daughter Krishna, Adam Dell, is suing for custody of the baby. Lakshmi, who does the "Easy Exotic" tea and spice line for HSN, is no longer seeing Dell. Her squeeze now is trillionaire Teddy Forstman.

It's still got a long way to go, but it's latest move in getting there is a big one — and one many in Australia have long suggested we implement (and that Nordic countries too like Iceland could benefit from) — legislating to offer victims of domestic violence up to ten days paid leave from work.
Such leave can be game-changing in supporting victims in not only managing their health and well-being, but also to make necessary appointments, seek safety, and make arrangements to leave or move house if necessary. Many of these appointments simply have to be made during business hours.
The bill passed 63 to 57 in the NZ Parliament during the week and will become effective as of April 2019.
The World Health Organisation estimates that one in three women are sexually or physically abused by a partner, with further research finding the problem is particularly bad in New Zealand. Research by the NZ Herald listed the country as having the worst rate of family and partner violence in the world. It estimates that 525,000 people are harmed every year but 80% of those go unreported to police.
It's something we all have a stake in, and it's not ok simply letting it continue, according to the bill's sponsor Green MP Jan Logie (pictured above).
"Part of this initiative is getting a whole-of-society response. We don't just leave it to police but realize we all have a role in helping victims," she told The Guardian.
The new law came off the back of research from the Women's Refuge in NZ finding 60% of women in abusive relationships were employed full time from the beginning of the relationship, but less than half were able to keep their job.
At Women's Agenda, we recently did our own research on the issue in partnership with Good Shepard, finding that employer-led support for victims varies dramatically in Australia, and that a Government-led initiative would offer significant support and assistance to those experiencing domestic-violence.
The Turnbull Government recently promised to introduce five days of unpaid leave to victims. The ACTU said that's it's a step in the right direction, but doesn't provide anything like the money and time victims require to protect their families and make themselves safe. Opposition leader Bill Shorten has promised to introduce ten days paid domestic violence leave if elected.
According to the ACTU, it costs an average $18,280 and takes 141 hours to leave an abusive relationships and find a new, safe place to live in Australia. It says that paid leave is significant in helping those experiencing domestic violence to keep their job and have the financial independence to keep themselves and their families safe.
This latest move from New Zealand is likely to see the conversation further developed in Australia, and paid domestic violence leave potentially becoming a campaign issue in the next Federal election.

A recent study published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research indicates that health risk assessments (HRAs), a tool managers often use to guide workers toward more healthy behavior, may help identify those at risk for depression well before the disease starts.
The study's sponsor, Johnson & Johnson Health and Wellness Solutions, conducted the study to evaluate the effectiveness of HRAs, including those it markets to employers. The findings showed that 20 percent of the people labeled as at-risk for depression went on to develop more significant mood disorders,Johnson & Johnson said in a release.
Heather Cole-Lewis, a behavioral scientist with J&J Health and Wellness Solutions, said the study showed how the assessments can help identify people needing treatment well before it affects the quality of their work.
"There is a substantial group of people among our HRA participants who have depressive symptoms but might not necessarily meet criteria indicating a need for clinical management," Cole-Lewis said in the release. "We know now that a significant portion of them are at risk of progressing to levels of distress and experiencing considerable productivity impairment in the process."
J&J published the findings in the Journal of Medical Internet Research on March 31 after compiling data from nearly 23,000 online HRAs.
"One of the most useful takeaways from this study is that HRAs can help identify individuals with subthreshold depressive symptoms who may deteriorate over time, as well as those who are at risk of chronic depression," Jennifer Turgess, J&J's vice president of behavioral science and advanced analytics, said in the release.

- On Wednesday, Pret A Manger announced it had reached an agreement to acquire British sandwich chain EAT.
- JAB is owned by the secretive German Reimann family, which has a net worth of at least $19 billion.
- Here is the breakdown of all the chains that JAB Holding owns.
Krispy Kreme, Panera, Pret a Manger, and Peet's Coffee are some of the most beloved chains in America.
However, not everyone realizes that these chains are all owned by the same company.
JAB Holding is the investment arm of the secretive Reimann family. JAB owns chains including Krispy Kreme, Panera, Caribou Coffee, Au Bon Pain, and Pret A Manger, as well as Keurig Dr. Pepper and bottled-water brand Core.
In recent years, JAB has acquired some of the biggest names in food and beverage.
Here's a breakdown of all of JAB's chains:

On Wednesday, Pret a Manger announced it had reached an agreement to acquire British sandwich chain EAT. The brand plans to convert "as many of EAT's shops as possible" to "Veggie Pret" locations.
Read on for more details on all the chains JAB owns:
JAB acquired Peet's Coffee and Tea in 2012.
It then did a deal for Caribou Coffee.

JAB also owns Caribou Coffee Co., which it acquired in 2013for $340 million. Caribou Coffee is based in Minnesota.
Next up was D.E Master Blenders 1753.

- D.E Master Blenders
JAB struck a deal in 2013 to buy the coffee company D.E. Master Blenders 1753, which had been spun out of Sara Lee Corp. a year earlier, for $9.8 billion.
Then it struck a big deal in 2014 to create Jacobs Douwe Egberts, which owns brands including Kenco, Tassimo, Senseo, and Moccona.

Jacobs Douwe Egberts is the world's biggest coffee company, with revenues totaling more than 5 billion euros. That entity was formed as a result of a merger between another JAB brand and Mondelez International coffee products, which closed in 2015. Mondelez currently owns a 26.4% stake in JDE.
JAB Holding bought Einstein Bros.' parent company in 2014.
JAB also bought Einstein Noah, a Colorado-based bagel company, in a $370 million deal. Einstein Noah was founded in 1995 and was operating more than 850 US stores at the time of the sale.
It also acquired the leading Nordic coffee retailer.

- Espresso House Finland
JAB reached a deal worth more than $300 million to buy Espresso House, the leading coffee chain in Sweden and Norway, in 2015.
JAB-owned Peet's Coffee and Tea has gone on a buying spree.

Peet's has since gone on a buying spree, picking up two US brands – Intelligentsia and Stumptown– in 2016. They are based in Chicago and Portland, Oregon.
JAB's acquisitions aren't restricted to chains.

- Friele
JAB also has investments in top European brands, including Marcilla Professional, Pickwick, and Friele, to name a few. The company also owns the leading makers of high-end brewing products.
In 2015, news broke that JAB was planning to acquire Keurig.

That December, JAB announced plans to buy Keurig for about $13.9 billion.
In 2018, Keurig merged with Dr Pepper Snapple Group.

JAB added Krispy Kreme to the mix in 2016.

Panera was a big-name purchase.

Panera's then-CEO, Ron Shaich, said the acquisition –announced in 2017– allowed Panera to focus more on long-term success as opposed to short-term sales.
Panera then acquired its sandwich rival Au Bon Pain.

The two brands have strikingly similar menus, selling sandwiches, salads, soups, and coffee with an emphasis on nutrition that many fast-food competitors do not have.
In May 2018, JAB agreed to a deal to buy Pret A Manger.

Pret has been rapidly building out its international presence, opening locations in the US, Hong Kong and China, and France, adding to its already strong presence in the UK.
Insomnia Cookies joined the JAB empire thanks to a deal with Krispy Kreme.

The terms of the deal were not announced, though a source told CNBC that the then-unannounced deal would value Insomnia Cookies at less than $500 million.
Core is one of the latest beverage brands to come under JAB's control.

Core is best known for its bottled water brand, Core Hydration, and fruit hydration brand, Core Organic.

"The purpose of this deal is to serve a growing demand of vegetarian and vegan customers who want delicious, high quality food and drink options," Pret CEO Clive Schlee said in a statement.
"We have been developing the Veggie Pret concept for over two years and we now have four hugely successful shops across London and Manchester. The acquisition of the EAT estate is a wonderful opportunity to turbo charge the development of Veggie Pret and put significant resources behind it."

and glorify your Father, which is in heaven. Matthew 5:16
Shannon McNear's debut novel The Cumberland Bride was released the same day my second story, A Heart For Freedom.
I met Shannon several years ago at an American Christian Fiction Writer's (ACFW) Conference and couldn't be more delighted for her.
The Cumberland Bride is compelling read about a family's journey through the Cumberland Gap in the closing years of the 18th century. I found myself following their journey on a map. It is filled with engaging and courageous characters, action, adventure, romance, and struggle. Ms. McNeer has done her research and has given us a well-written debut novel. I'm looking forward to her next story.

To start with, OST Platform sets a default conversation rate of 1OST=1BT. If you like, you can set an alternative conversion rate by selecting Edit under Advanced Options.
Two things to consider when setting the conversion rate:
- Order of magnitude of token rewards: do you wish to reward single digit, 10s, 100s, 1000s of tokens per incentive?
- Fiat value of each token
We recommend using the default conversion rate in the sandbox environment. You can then make a more informed decision when setting-up your brand token in production. If you need help setting the conversion rate, you can reach out to your Client Success lead or to the OST Support team at email@example.com.
- Once you mint your token, the conversion rate is fixed and cannot be changed.
- Conversion rates do not transfer from Sandbox to Production and must be set again during the token setup in the production environment.

Everyone's favourite TV chef is back, with a new show and cookbook. Lauren Taylor catches up with Jamie Oliver to talk all things vegetarian.
Famed for making home cooking approachable and achievable for millions of people, and for lobbying for better children's public health, Jamie Oliver's influence doesn't seem to be wavering - even 20 years on from the Naked Chef first appearing on our TVs.
The Essex chef's restaurant chain may have recently gone into administration in the UK, but a few months on, he's "moving on, dusting down" after a "very, very painful" time and focusing on his next venture - and this time it's plant-based.
So is the man who brought us the 'insanity burger' turning off meat altogether? "No. No way Jose!" he quaffs, and although a self-confessed meat-lover, it might surprise you to learn that he eats meat "probably only twice a week" these days.
His new Channel 4 show Meat-Free Meals and cookbook Veg feel bang on the zeitgeist. It's no coincidence that social consciousness around food is changing; we all know that cutting down on meat is better for the environment, as well as for ourselves.
"Yes it's trendy at the moment, that's cool," Jamie, 44, says, as if pre-empting any assumptions that he's jumping on any bandwagons. He wrote (and shelved) this book eight years ago, in fact. "I could be wrong but I hope that now is the time to go quite hard and mainstream on veg," he says, and in true Jamie Oliver style he's determined to normalise it, to get all of us cooking it, all of the time.
"We've made it [vegetarianism] more faddy than it needs to be. Veg has been depicted as quite a divisive thing, like football, gangs," he muses. "Vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian - what are you? But it doesn't really matter how you look at it, humans are absolutely deficient in veg, legumes and fibre.
"Maybe it's because I'm a bit older," he adds, "maybe because it's 20 years down the road, but I hope it feels like: If Jamie Oliver is doing a vegetarian book, it's sort of saying something [about] where we're at and where we're going."
The new TV show sees Jamie travel to countries where veg is often front and centre of the cuisine, like India and Israel. "Meat has always been an expression of progress, it's always been a luxury or a sense of cash or commerce - but when you haven't got much of it, humans are beyond genius," he says, on the food he discovered travelling. "The diversity of textures and colours, for really affordable - onions, carrots - everyday things like pickles and fritters, things that give you the same hugging feeling as a burger or a pizza. You're kind of sitting there going, 'I don't want any [meat], I'm really happy'."
He even visits a meat-free school: "The idea of schools going veggie is a brilliant idea - it would save loads of money."
Jamie says he wanted to go back to focusing on "Monday to Thursday eating, busy working people" for his Veg cookbook (which is incidentally 30-40% vegan), and it certainly harks back to the style of 30-Minute Meals and five-ingredients.
It's not rabbit food though. "It's a celebration, not commiseration," says Jamie. There's heartiness (crispy cauliflower katsu), comfort food (Indian-style chip butty), nutrient-dense (veg tagine) and naughtiness (cheesy kimchi toastie) and 'Friday night nibbles' for the end of the week. "For me it's a relief! I'll pour myself a little whiskey maybe and I want to have something fun to nibble on," Jamie says of his Friday nights.
"It's about making it simple, delicious and as good as it can be, I'm not trying to give you the best," he adds, ever the realist. "I'm trying to write recipes that are car crash-proof; OK so you chopped it really badly - that's cool, chop it badly."
He doesn't want busy people to open the book and think: "'Well I'm never going to do that, not until the weekend'."
It's why he's a big fan of using frozen food, particularly veg. "Frozen is the future," Jamie declares. "The science of freezing has never changed, it's just that we've always frozen a lot of stuff. The chances are that your frozen pea will be more nutritious, and in better condition, than your fresh pea that's been sitting in a warehouse for a week.
"If you care about higher welfare, cheaper price - frozen. If you care about lack of waste - frozen. Convenience, portion control, nutrition - frozen."
In recent years, Jamie's recipes haven't been without controversy though; he was once criticised for using chorizo in a paella and last year 'Jamie's jollof rice' attracted thousands of comments, many claiming he was 'appropriating' a traditional West African dish.
"I just think that food can be political, it can be divisive," he says. "I learned to make the best hummus I've ever had from theoretically one of the best hummus makers on the planet - and there was at least 300-400 comments that went really dark and really political. We were in the West Bank, Israel, so you've got to be really careful."
Politically speaking, Jamie has never been one to shy away; is he planning to lobby new Prime Minister Boris Johnson on child public health? "Always!" he declares - and there's a long list apparently. "I've met him on a number of occasions, I've seen him as mayor, I've seen him say one thing and contradict one thing, but what now? Will we continue to weekly speak to his teams? Yes. Will I want to meet with him as soon as possible? Yes. Is child health a central pillar of Britain now and in the future? Yes.
"The biggest morally wrong thing we have to deal with right now is that too many times, the better or healthier option is too expensive. We definitely need governments around the world to subsidy better food.
"Generally, what a child and what a family needs is the same as what the planet needs - more veg, more nuts, more seeds, more legumes. If I had a magic wand, I'd love to go to David Attenborough and say, 'Can we do a show called My Health, My Planet?' Because I think that's the conversation now."
Meat-Free Meals airs on Channel 4 this September. Veg by Jamie Oliver is out now.

Spring and summer usually get all the real estate glory as the best time to buy a home—and, of course, the busiest. Meanwhile, their seasonal sibling, fall, often gets tossed to the leaf pile by potential buyers who might think autumn is just about haunted houses and turkey dinners rather than house hunting.
But surprise! Fall is not only a great time to buy a home, it might also be the best season to find the perfect property!
Reason #1- October seems to be the month of Lower Home Prices. All those houses that didn't sell in the spring summer are now being re-listed and sometimes for a lower price.
Reason#2- Say hello to your little friend, leverage. Sellers who have their homes on the market in the fall "are generally people who need to sell, which can make for better negotiations for the buyer," And if a home you have your eye on has been on the market all summer, you're really in the driver's seat as far as making an offer the seller can't refuse. The longer a home sits on the market, the more negotiating power the buyer wields.
Reason#3-Not only are most home sellers worn out after the summer selling season, they're also caught between a real estate rock and a hard place in that the holidays are barreling down on them. If they want to move and settle down in time to host Thanksgiving and put up their Christmas lights, they'll have to close, fast. So use this preholiday window to your advantage by offering to help them vacate fast if they cut you a deal.
Reason#4- Year End Tax Credits, No one wants to buy a home purely to make their accountant happy. But there's a sweet added incentive to closing on a home at the end of the fiscal year. Come the following April 15, you might be able to take some nice tax deductions, including closing costs, property tax, and mortgage interest, to offset your taxable earnings.
Reason#5- Once you close on that home you found in the fall, you may want to upgrade your appliances. Luckily, December is when major appliances—refrigerators, stoves, washers, and dryers—are at their very cheapest. It's also the best time of year to buy cookware and TVs.
So once you're settled in, get ready to renovate!

At council earlier this week, while the mayor was busy meeting the Premier about the tragic Danforth shooting, Interim CFO Joe Farag was put on the hot seat about revenues collected to date from the Municipal Land Transfer Tax (MLTT.)
Up for consideration was the 111-page operating variance report to the end of May, in which buried on page 15 was a very quick reference to the fact that the MLTT revenue is "lower compared to the same period in 2017."
In fact, if one were to glance at the cover report one would think all was rosy, considering that it says the MLTT revenue is "higher than anticipated" due an unanticipated $18.4-million from the non-residential (commercial real estate) category.
Oh my how bureaucrats spin things.
We wouldn't want to actually present the fiscal situation as it truly is — namely that the city's cash cow is a little low on milk.
Gord Perks, however, came through — a rare moment in which we actually agreed.
He asked interim CFO Joe Farag how the MLTT was performing in the residential sector.
Farag waffled for a few minutes before admitting the tax was not "achieving the revenues expected" to date this year and is being bolstered by the non-residential sector.
Problem is, as he finally conceded with some prodding, two-thirds of the estimated MLTT budget of $803-million is supposed to come from residential sales and one-third from commercial real estate.
Farag also admitted, when asked, that the residential sector is "underperforming by 10-12%" so far.
If that carries through to the end of the year, the city could be short by about $64-million — interestingly enough the exact amount extra the mayor recently contended will be spent on the huge influx of refugees to year's end.
"All things considered we should achieve budget," Farag said, trying to tap dance around the problems. "But this is a variable tax completely dependent on market activity."
No kidding. I predicted it a year when city officials — faced with the escalating spending on feel-good social programs and housing the influx of refugees — decided to stick with a $803-million MLTT budget for 2018.
That was despite concerns from former city CFO Rob Rossini and budget committee member John Campbell that the city had far too heavy a reliance on this cash cow to balance the books — particularly risky with projections about the potential softening of the Toronto real estate market.
According to the Farag, department heads are being asked "to take remedial action" but don't worry, be happy. he told council, he'll just move the shells around if the cash cow targets don't come through at year's end.
He said they'll defer some capital expenditures or raise more debt or take the difference from the tax stabilization fund, the latter being his first line of defence.

I had a tough night last night, full of ugly crying and "friends" who, despite my requests for them to stop, kept mocking me. For the record, this was over how I pronounced "poutine" (in the correct French-Canadian accent), which is stupid. But it was only accentuated by everything else I'm going through, which they are also aware of. I have a zero tolerance for stuff like this, especially when I'm vocal about the fact I'm not enjoying their "jokes." On top of it all though, I got accused of being "too sensitive" about the whole situation.
First of all, let me be clear. I don't mind jokes at my expense but when I don't, I make it clear that today is not the day for it, and I expect the behavior to stop. When it doesn't, I get angry.
Second, I think it's important that I have feelings, which is where this "sensitivity" thing comes in. I don't think it's a fault to be a person sensitive to others intentions. Last night it became less a light-hearted interaction and more a malicious, virulent and poisonous one as it went on.
The worst part for me was that I had already ordered food, I was at another friend's poetry reading (which I didn't get to enjoy because I left) and I just wanted to enjoy a night out. So I had to actually sit there and listen to them continue while I waited for my food. Eventually I quietly asked the server if I could just have everything boxed up and to settle my tab. He had witnessed the exchange too and obviously felt bad – the feeling was written on his face – but said nothing, only "no problem, I'll get that taken care of for you." Before I left, my friend who was doing the reading ran up and asked me, "is everything okay?" I was already starting to cry and just wanted to get out of there, so all I could manage to get out was "I just need to go." It was so brusque and hasty and inward, a burden of unknown circumstances she ended up shouldering simply because I couldn't bring myself to elaborate. And still haven't been able to.
I received a text as I was walking home from one of the people who were mocking me. "We love you. Sorry if we were annoying. The night is still young, please come back." I was so angry I didn't want to go into detail texting her back, so I simply said, "nope, I'm done."
I brought my food home and stuck it in the fridge and then headed out for a walk. Mostly I just ended up on the steps of the statehouse, where I sat and stared out onto the empty lawn. Earbuds in, music on full volume, I watched the odd car pass down the street below as I thought about the situation carefully. Had I just taken it the wrong way? As I thought about it more and more, I realized that I had a justifiable right to be mad. If I had said nothing, I wouldn't have a right. I expect people to be perceptive but not perfect. Because I had vocalized my feelings and they went on, ignoring my requests to stop, I felt like they had violated an unspoken contract of friendship- that you will respect that person. That you will respect their needs.
I'm not a perfect person by any means, but I have enough self worth and self respect to realize that I also at least deserve respect from others. And when I don't receive that, I feel like that contract of friendship has been breached. After a few hours, I sent her another text.
"I'm sorry I'm not willing to sacrifice my self worth for your entertainment."
I can only do what's right for me. My current circumstances have made that glaringly obvious. And maybe in different circumstances, I would have been okay with the jokes. Maybe if I wasn't already dealing with a bunch of other stuff, I would have had an easier time of brushing it off. Last night it all came together in a wild, corrosive experience that left me feeling incredibly unworthy of love. If someone makes me feel like that, I have a hard time forgiving them.
But for now, I'll just keep mulling it over.
love was a country we couldn't defend.

Ess Dee Aluminium's proposed merger scheme is stacked heavily against India Foils' minority shareholders and the recent spurt in trading volumes of India Foils is highly dubious
The minority shareholders of Kolkata-based aluminium foils maker India Foils have been given a raw deal under the proposed merger scheme with packaging solutions provider Ess Dee Aluminium Ltd. In what appears to be another case of absolute apathy and discrimination against minority shareholders, the management of Ess Dee Aluminium has put a ridiculously low valuation on India Foils that will leave these shareholders high and dry.
Apparently, Ess Dee Aluminium is pushing for a share-swap ratio of 1,285:1 that means shareholders of India Foils will have to surrender their 1285 shares to get a single share of Ess Dee. When the same is calculated with Ess Dee's current share price of Rs400 per share, the value of each India Foils share comes out to be a paltry 31 paise only. That too when during the last eight months, India Foils' shares have been trading between Rs12-Rs16 per share.
According to an extra-ordinary general meeting (EGM) notice sent to shareholders, Mumbai-based chartered accountant firm MP Chitale and Co did the valuation for the merger.
In November 2008, Ess Dee bought a majority stake in India Foils for Rs130 crore from Anil Agrawal led Vedanta group as part of the rehabilitation scheme approved by the Board for Industrial & Financial Reconstruction (BIFR). Now Ess Dee wants to merge India Foils with itself and has proposed the merger scheme with 1285:1 ratio. Since Ess Dee promoters already hold 89.4% stake in India Folis, they are 'forcing' the merger on other minority shareholders, said an investor.
According to Hirjee Nagarwalla, a shareholder, he had held shares of India Foils for a long period. "When Ess Dee took controlling stake in India Foils, no open offer was made to the public. Then in 2009, Ess Dee announced that it would merge India Foils with itself. About a month ago, shareholders were notified that the merger ratio has been fixed at 1285:1. In effect, the value of India Foils has been put at 31 paise, when its average traded price for last one year is Rs14. Minority shareholders like me would be left with nothing," he said.
An email sent to Ess Dee Aluminium officials remained unanswered till the time of writing the story.
India Foils' shares last traded on the Bombay Stock Exchange on 19 September 2008 at Rs12.95. Before its last trading, the 52-week average share price of India Foils was Rs10.31 per share at the lowest end and Rs30.05 at the highest end. The shares remained untraded till its relisting on 19 June 2009 and on that day it rose to a high of Rs23.95 and a low of Rs17.41. On Wednesday, India Foils closed at Rs7.50, down 3.97% on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), while the benchmark Sensex closed 1.36% higher at 17,000 points.
The minority shareholders also brought to light the heavy trading being carried out in India Foils' shares. In middle of January 2010, India Foils' shares surged to Rs20 on heavy volumes. Soon after that, the share witnessed a freefall. The share volumes have seen a sudden spurt, compared to its average volumes over the last few months. This sudden rise and fall in the share price, supported by higher volumes, suggests foul play.
Indeed, if Ess Dee goes ahead and completes the merger with India Foils at the proposed valuation, it will put minority shareholders at a loss. If it decides not to carry out the merger or the swap ratio is altered, then the trading in India Foils' shares should raise some eyebrows. People who have been buying at low prices will benefit. Either way, the on-goings in this case demand careful scrutiny by the regulator.
Prices in the retail market for hot rolled coil have already gone up by almost Rs2,000 per tonne and analysts believe a price hike from April is imminent on account of excise duty hike and jump in raw material contract prices
Following in the footsteps of other mills, state-owned steel major Steel Authority of India (SAIL) on Wednesday hiked steel prices by up to Rs600 a tonne, effective from 1st March, on account of increase in excise duty.
According to a PTI report, SAIL chairman SK Roongta told reporters on the sidelines of an All India Induction Furnace Association meet that there would be a price increase of about Rs500 to Rs600 a tonne due to the excise duty hike and it would be effective from 1st March.
Partially rolling back the fiscal stimulus in the Budget, the government raised excise duty by 2%-10% across the board. To spur economic activities, the government had earlier initiated massive spending programmes and slashed duties from December 2008 in three stages following the global financial crisis that began in September in the same year.
Indian mills have increased domestic commercial hot rolled coil prices for April production on rising international prices and higher costs of production. Prices have risen by at least Rs1,000-Rs1,500 (about $21-$31) per tonne ex-mill to Rs30,500-Rs32,000 per tonne. Prices for end users are also rising because of an increase in excise duty, which has risen to 10% from 8%. While mills have yet to officially increase the price of cold rolled steel, basic prices, exclusive of taxes, have already risen by Rs1,000-Rs1,500 per tonne to Rs36,000-Rs36,500 per tonne.
The price hike from April is imminent on account of excise duty hike and jump in raw material contract prices for major players across the globe. Both iron ore and coking coal contracts for 2010 are expected at 35%-45% higher levels than last year, and this could push up the cost of production by about $75 per tonne of steel.
"We believe that companies like Tata Steel and SAIL will be the major beneficiaries of the price jump on account of their backward integration. Global steel demand scenario is also improving with strong last quarter growth in US and Japan. Overall, we remain bullish on the steel sector as a whole and we could see further hike in the next quarter," said Kisan Ratilal Choksey Shares and Securities Pvt Ltd in a research note.
On the demand side, improvement is being seen in developed economies particularly in the flat segment on account of pick up in automobile sales. However, long product demand still remains subdued as no major revival is seen in construction activities which are the major consumer of longs.
Enam Securities Pvt Ltd said, "We believe higher raw material spot prices could lead to an annual rise in FY11 contract prices (negotiations going on), which will support steel prices. However, we believe credit tightening in China is likely to put a brake on the substantial price hike in raw materials as well as steel."
Echoing the same view, steel secretary Atul Chaturvedi also said that steel prices were set to go up. "They (steel prices) will go up now. You have to decide between inflation and recession. Companies have to earn money and this can be done either if raw material prices go down or steel prices go up," Mr Chaturvedi said.
When asked if the price rise was alarming, he said, "If we see steel prices in the last 30 months, the current scenario is not alarming."
Last week, BHP Billiton in its coking coal contract negotiations with Japanese steel makers pushed the April-June 2010 contract price by almost 55% over last year to $200 per tonne. This was a major shift for BHP from the earlier annual contract system to a quarterly system. But Japanese steel makers rejected the offer.
Similarly, huge disparity between spot and long-term contract prices is prompting large iron ore miners to shift away from annual contracts to shorter duration contracts.
With the delay in contractual negotiations, steel prices are likely to remain at higher levels in the near term.
The Customer Service Charter for Tata Indicom guarantees pre-determined levels of service and support and includes compensation clauses to pay back customers if the set service levels are not met
Telecommunications service provider Tata Teleservices Ltd (TTSL) on Wednesday said that it would compensate its subscribers if the company fails to meet the pre-determined levels of service standards, a move that would help retain customers and force competitors to respond.
The Customer Service Charter for Tata Indicom, the company said "guarantees pre-determined levels of service and support and includes compensation clauses to pay back customers if the set service levels are not met."
The initiative was announced to commemorate the 171st birth anniversary of Tata Group founder Sir Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata, a visionary who sowed the seeds of industrialisation in India, it said in a release.
TTSL offers wide-ranging telecom services, including mobile (both GSM and CDMA based), landline and broadband services across the nation and is the fifth largest operator in the country with over 60 million mobile subscribers.
The service will be immediately available to Tata Indicom customers across all 20 telecom circles where the company operates.
Commenting on the new initiative, Anil Sardana, managing director of TTSL, said, "On the occasion of our group's founder's day, we pledge to give every customer his rightful due."
TTSL was the first operator to start per second pulse in mobile services and had set the trend for others.
The company's new initiative would also help it retain its subscribers after the Mobile Number Portability (MNP) is implemented, a service that enables users to change operators while retaining the number.
According to sources, at least 15%-20% of the subscribers with each operator are likely to make use of MNP once it becomes available.
The Customer Service Charter, a first-of-its-kind endeavour in the Indian telecom industry, is aimed at ensuring that customer service emerges as a key differentiator for telecom operators, TTSL said.
The charter focuses on several identified aspects of customer interaction, with the larger objective of creating world-class service standards and benchmarks.
The charter will fulfil customer commitments—five salient propositions have been identified by TTSL to begin with, and compensation clauses have been built in, wherein the company will pay back customers if pre-set service levels on the chosen parameters are not met.
The Customer Service Charter includes five customer commitments, namely the bill dispute commitment, the call drop commitment, the handset replacement commitment, the VAS commitment and the call-cack commitment.
The bill dispute commitment offers resolution of every bill dispute within three working days, failing which TTSL will compensate its customers with Rs25 for every additional day taken to resolve the complaint. Similarly, other commitments also carry compensation in case the services are not the same as guaranteed.

updated drawings for 1531 9th street nw
here's the image that was displayed over at renew shaw today, representing what shiloh baptist church had proposed to build on the vacant lot they own at 1531 9th street nw. the pictures below show the changes that were made to the building facade and presented to ANC 2C at their monthly meeting on the evening of april 1st.
the changes were made at the request of the historic preservation office, who believed that the first proposal was too "historicist" (in other words, the architect was trying too hard to make it look like the building next door at 1533).
i have to say, i prefer the first proposal. i think that aping the building next door, if the details are very carefully done, would make for a beautiful building.

Users could paste a lot of text into this text box. Are there settings that control how many lines of text are displayed? Like some fading out (as an example). Right now when I paste a lot of text into the EditText box, the box expands to take up the entire screen.
Take a look at the Android sdk documentation for EditText and TextView and the Xamarin sdl docmentation for EditText and TextView. They will provided you with most of the information you require. You will see that there is a property called MaxLines which will set the maximum number of lines the control will expand to. This can be set in the xml layout:
android:maxLines="4" or in code
MaxLines = 4.

Decades ago, the United Negro College Fund coined the saying "A mind is a terrible thing to waste."
Locally, it's an open secret that Asheville has been fighting an academic achievement gap between black and white children for decades. Sadly, our city now has the highest gap of any district in the state of North Carolina.
During the 2017 school year, only 21.5% of black third graders in Asheville City Schools were grade-level proficient in reading compared to 86.4% of white third graders (www.ncpublicschools.org). What can be done to reverse this trend? New City Christian School is on a quest for answers to this daunting issue.
This small, private elementary school was founded in 2006 in response to this persistent community problem. The mission of New City is to equip students with knowledge, confidence, and hope.
Founder Coral Jeffries explains it this way: "Some have called the current educational crisis the unfinished business of the Civil Rights movement. The public schools have been given an impossible mission, to provide all things for all students but with limited resources and autonomy for doing so. It is inevitable that some students will fall through the cracks. Why not work toward creating a model where those children can also thrive? All of us have a stake in doing what it takes to turn this situation around."
After 12 years of working in pursuit of this goal, New City has made enormous progress, and the results are striking. Last year at New City, 88% of students in grades 2 through 5 were at or above grade level in reading, and 92% were at or above grade level in math, as measured by the Iowa Test of Basic Achievement, a nationally normed test used by many top-tier private schools.
What are the factors that have made New City's approach so effective? Jeffries esplains, "Each element in our mission statement is critical. We have worked hard to research what kind of curriculum is effective in working with children who may enter kindergarten underprepared. Those are the approaches we use. In addition, we keep our class sizes small so our students are not only taught but also known, mentored, and challenged to achieve to their highest potential. We also believe that a spiritual framework brings a sense of hope and purpose to the process of learning.
"Our students are smart and capable of going far beyond what they are able to imagine. We want to equip and encourage them so they can recognize their strengths and abilities. Then they can take the next steps forward."
New City's private education is possible for families of limited means, only, says Jeffries, "through an extraordinary network of individual donors and partners who see the value of this work and yearn to see all children in our community with good options for the future. We have both majority black and majority white churches in Asheville that support the school, as well as individuals and businesses that take this issue very seriously and are willing to give both resources and time to the mission of New City.
"We recognize that our City schools have a really hard job and also do great work," he continues. "We are trying to do our part by using our independence to be creative in looking for solutions so that all children are well served."
Families are required to contribute a portion of their child's tuition, but the school is determined to make that amount affordable for all, regardless of family income.
In 2014 a bipartisan group of North Carolina legislators developed the Opportunity Scholarship Program to expand school choice in the state. Similar programs in other states have met with great success in allowing parents to explore alternative educational options for their children, particularly those attending poorly performing schools. Proponents of the program see it as a way to help level the playing field by helping lower-resourced families explore options that have traditionally not been possible due to cost.
Opportunity Scholarships provide funding of up to $4,200 per year for eligible children who enroll in a participating nonpublic school. Children must be entering kindergarten or first grade or transferring directly from a public school to be eligible. The scholarship is available only to families who meet income requirements.

[SatNews] Planet Labs is acquiring the RapidEye and geospatial business of BlackBridge and will now have access to RapidEye's six year archives of global imagery, which encompasses six billion square kilometers of Earth.
Planet Labs, which sells satellite imagery collected from the firm's own network of 87 tiny satellites, will also now control the ongoing imagery collection from the existing five, on orbit, RapidEye satellites.
While most satellite imagery is refreshed every two years, Planet Labs wants to increase this frequency so they can let customers monitor land changes like deforestation, agriculture yield, etc. Most of Planet Labs' customers are concentrated in North America and Asia, while BlackBridge's customers are concentrated in Europe and South America. No financial information about this acquisition has been released by either firm. However, recently, Planet Labs managed to raise $183.1 million in funding— BlackBridge raised $22 million, according to the CrunchBase infosite.
All of the employees from BlackBridge's RapidEye and geospatial divisions will remain with Planet Labs, including the firm's CEO, Ryan Johnson. BlackBridge's networking division will apparently be spun off into a separate entity once this deal has closed.
