text:
1905 - The funeral home location itself was originally constructed around 1905 as a residence.
1936 - Bert and Edith Jennett founded the Jennett Funeral Home, converting the existing location to a funeral home. The first phase of expansion was completed along Bradford & John Streets under the direction of M & D Kennedy Contractors Limited with work being completed in November of 1962.
1985 - Simon Slessor purchased the business with business partner David McClelland. When Simon and David purchased the business, the name was changed to McClelland & Slessor funeral home - Jennett Chapel.
1986 - A significant point in history was in 1986 when a fire beginning in the third floor apartment destroyed the upper level. The fire damage was contained mostly to the third floor but resulted in heavy water damage throughout. Fortunately, much of the historical detail was saved and included in the reconstruction & remodeling that followed. The original fireplace and staircase were left in place and vintage stain glass compliments the interior. An administrative highlight on the night of the fire was the ability to recover the funeral files dating back to 1936. These files have played an important role over the years for genealogy research and for legal reasons. During the fire reconstruction, a second expansion was completed on the main level while the third floor containing the apartment was eliminated.
1998 - An expansion of the parking lot was undertaken by purchasing a vacant home at 156 Bradford Street. Due to the many years that the home had sat empty and the related deterioration, the house was removed making way for increased parking and a garden beautification project.
2008 - David decided in early 2008 that he would retire. As apart of his retirement planning, David's share in the funeral home transferred in December between Simon Slessor and long-time employee, Stuart Clark.
2009 - One of the more recent updates happened this year when the lounge and reception area was completely remodeled. A larger kitchenette area was created along with added wall openings allowing a flow of natural light. In addition, lighting was updated and a new multimedia centre was added. A selection of family appropriate movies is available during visitations and video memorial tributes can be shown during receptions.
2014 - In December, Simon and Stuart made the decision to return the business name to a variation of the historical name. The Jennett name represents an important part of the history of both Allandale and Barrie. The new name also better reflects that Jennett's are well experienced in providing cremation related options for families looking for an alternative to full casket burial.
2015 - The exterior was given a rejuvenating upgrade with a new colour scheme to compliment the original red brick. New siding, fascia and soffit was installed and enhancements were made to the entrances.
2017 - After careful consideration, both Simon and Stuart made the decision to retire. Jennett Funeral & Cremation Centre was sold to Park Lawn Limited Corporation of Toronto, Ontario on February 10, 2017.
Maintaining a comfortable home atmosphere has remained a priority throughout the changes that have taken place over the years. We strongly believe that the atmosphere of the location greatly compliments quality service. Many positive comments are shared with the staff about the warmth of the facilities. It was this type of feedback that greatly influenced the design of our second location, the Innisfil Funeral Home in Stroud, which opened in August of 2001.
2021 - Following the onset of COVID-19 and a quickly changing market, Jennett Funeral & Cremation Centre joined the Basic Funerals team under the name Basic Funerals and Cremation Choices - Jennett Memorial Centre. In addition to continuing to offer traditional services, this location started offering the most affordable direct cremation and burial services in the market.

"If you are a coach, you are paid to read." That's what Tim Robbins taught me, I believed him, so I tried to abide. I hammered more audiobooks this year than every before as well.
Here are my top 5 books from 2015 (in no particular order).
Click on any book image to learn more…
This book was outstanding. He interviewed and embedded the stories and strategies of the greatest financial minds. We immediately started implementing two techniques that he outlined in the book and it saved us a few thousand dollars, not bad.
James Altucher has become a go-to resource for me. This book outlined strategies for wealth (a trend from me this year?), but how and why to choose yourself. Ten ideas a day, insight into your 401k, why the house always wins are some cool concepts.
Chip & Dan heath also wrote the awesome books Switch and Made to Stick. These books are up there along with Malcom Gladwell's. Decisive delved into how and why we make certain decisions and how to counter-balance our own intuition with making smarter decisions in almost every circumstance.
I did NOT think I would like this book. I always have my guard up when it comes to books about persuasion techniques. However, all I could think of while reading this books is how NFL scouts and college coaches "miss" on players. A very enlightening book!
As you can see, I'm not a fiction guy at all. I think the truth is much more entertaining. The amount of research that went into this book was amazing. The journey of the 1936 crew that transformed the sport of rowing. Epic stories of mental toughness and overcoming adversity.
Dr. Rob Bell is a Sport Psychology Coach. His company DRB & associates is based in Indianapolis. Some clients have included: University of Notre Dame, Marriott, and Walgreens. Check out our most recent book on Mental Toughness- Don't Should on Your Kid: Build Their Mental Toughness

Happy birthday to our 2016 ESSENCE Festival headliner Maxwell. He turns 43 today, and he's been gifting us with smooth tunes for 20 of those years. Let's rewind to 10 of his best songs in honor of the birthday boy!
1. "Ascension (Don't Ever Wonder)"
Maxwell gives us the "highest of the high" with the jazzy flow of this 1996 hit, one of the definitive neo-soul jams.
2. "Whenever Wherever Whatever"
The gentle, acoustic-guitar-laced beauty of this ballad is nothing short of exquisite. Sigh.
3. "Pretty Wings"
Maxwell's gorgeous, Grammy-winning ballad glides through the heavens, taking us on a blissful flight. Although we don't understand why any chick would ever fly away from him…
4. "This Woman's Work"
One of the all-time best covers, Maxwell's remake of this Kate Bush song is a harp-laced gem that showcases his finest falsetto. It gives us goosebumps every time.
5. "Sumthin' Sumthin'"
This cool, mellow midtempo forever added to the urban vernacular. It would take uncommon will power to resist Maxwell's invitation to do "a little sumthin' sumthin'."
6. "Lifetime"
On this gospel-tinged ballad from 2001's Now, Maxwell gives us comfort that we can work it all out this lifetime. Take us to church, Max.
7. "Fortunate"
One of the rare Maxwell songs that he didn't have a hand in writing, this hit from the Life soundtrack was wriiten and produced by R. Kelly. It makes us realize how fortunate we are to have Maxwell.
8. "…Til the Cops Come Knockin'"
Maxwell may be a sensitive dude, but on this ode to getting busy, he's at his most sexual. This is his "Let's Get It On."
9. "Lake by the Ocean"
The first single from Maxwell's upcoming blackSUMMERS'night album (due July 1) floats along a sumptuous groove that's as refreshing as taking a dip in the ocean.
10. "Submerge: Til We Become the Sun"
"Let your atmosphere surround me," Maxwell sings on this haunting highlight of the underappreciated Embrya album. But it's you who will get lost in Max's ambient soundscape.
Don't miss Maxwell and a star-studded lineup at the 2016 ESSENCE Festival. Buy your tickets now!

5 Thinkific Alternatives: The Ultimate Comparison Guide
Want to sell online courses? Finding the right platform to host your courses is key. If you have done any research in this field, you're likely to have come across thinkific.com. This is a popular platform; however, there are many Thinkific alternatives worthy of your attention, and some of these may suit your business model better.
That's where we come in. Here, you'll find the ultimate comparison of the most popular course-selling platforms to grow your training business. But before taking a detailed look at alternatives, first, let's see what Thinkific is and how it works.
Thinkific Review
Thinkific is a platform that allows individuals and businesses to create and deliver courses on their own branded websites. Like other similar solutions in the market, it has a course builder and e-commerce and marketing tools. However, what makes Thinkific unique is that it is highly customizable in terms of creating a course website and has a flexible feature able to fit every size and style of business.
Building your course website
Thinkific lets you build various pages and completely customize them. With drag-and-drop page sections, you can create a sales page with all the courses you offer, a separate landing page for each course, and more. You can also integrate your training site with any other existing website using a custom domain to create a seamless brand experience for your audience.
Creating online courses
Thinkific has a Course Builder with templates that you only need to populate with your own content. Alternatively, if your business has an extensive catalog of courses, there's the Bulk Importer functionality to save time in the course-creation process.
You can combine different learning activities and multimedia elements in the course builder to make courses more engaging. Some of the content formats that Thinkific supports are downloadable files such as videos, audio, and PDF documents. You can also add quizzes, text lessons, and surveys.
The videos in Thinkific courses are hosted through Wistia. If your videos are on YouTube or Vimeo, you can embed the link. To add multimedia elements created in other platforms like H5P, Brillium Exams, webinars, and live streams, you can use iFrame.
Marketing and selling
To promote courses, Thinkific has a full set of marketing tools. You can leverage your affiliate network and existing external apps to use discounts, upsells, bonuses, and create bundle memberships.
Thinkific offers different pricing options. You can choose between a one-time payment, subscription, or a monthly payment plan.
Thinkific users
Thinkific is a good solution for those who are aiming to build a brand around online courses and can't do so without in-depth customization options, advanced marketing tools, and integrations.
The paid plans start at $49/mo with access to the core features. Thinkific also allows you to use the platform for free but will charge you 10% of your earnings for each course that you sell, and you can only create up to 3 courses.
iSpring Market
A great Thinkific alternative is iSpring Market. This is an easy-to-use platform that has a full set of options to get your training business up and running in no time. You can quickly build online courses, set up a marketplace, add courses to your store, and immediately start selling to customers.
Building your course website
You can create your digital storefront with just one click and customize it with a logo, color scheme, and other branding features to match your brand.
iSpring Market allows you to add all your courses on one page or organize them into categories to make it easier for customers to navigate and find the courses that interest them. To attract more attention to some specific courses, you can promote them with the featuring option.
Creating online courses
You can upload ready-made courses or make compound courses by combining various content items right in the built-in course builder. For example, you can make a course that is a set of PPT presentations, audio, video, and reference documents. Unlike many other similar platforms, iSpring Market also supports SCORM packages. So you can upload and sell interactive slide-based courses, quizzes, and simulations created in eLearning authoring tools like iSpring Suite.
There are a lot of settings that can be customized so that your course is perfectly suited to your learners. For example, you can specify completion dates and conditions and select a certificate to be issued after the course is passed.
Marketing and selling
With iSpring Market, you can offer not only paid courses but free courses as well. So, to incentivize your customers, you can use some of your courses as a free gift. The platform also allows you to generate your own coupon codes that can be used for selling certain courses with a discount. Distributing coupons among your students-to-be via social media, forums, and email may be an effective way to increase sales of your courses.
There are a variety of payment options available in iSpring Market. You can use PayPal, Stripe, or Authorize.net to accept payments in 30 international currencies worldwide.
iSpring Market users
iSpring Market perfectly suits training centers and businesses that need to sell online courses fast and easy to individual learners and organizations. This is one of the few platforms that works as a real LMS and fits for serious employee training and certification programs when it's necessary to keep track of how people learn and what results they got.
Starts at $444 per 500 users per year. There are no transaction fees, no matter how many courses you sell.
Teachable is another popular platform to build and sell online courses. You can create multimedia lectures, enhance them with quizzes, and put your courses on the website that you can build with the Teachable intuitive drag-and-drop builder. The platform offers various hosting options to fit most levels of individual or business – you can use the Teachable free domain, host under your own domain name, or link to a subdomain.
Building your course website
With Teachable, you can quickly create a responsive course website by using its ready-made sales page template. For those who need their own custom landing pages, the platform offers Power Editor, which allows for digging into the code and modifying any aspect of a "school".
Creating online courses
You can create compound courses that consist of several "sections" (lessons). Each "section" can contain "lectures" that are typically different learning materials on a specific topic. "Lectures" can be presented in rather limited content types: including video, images, PDF documents, and audio files. You can still embed materials in unsupported formats, but they will be downloadable files for the learners to run using external software.
Marketing and selling
Coupons and time-limited offers, affiliate programs, bundles, flexible pricing options, and tracking pixels like Facebook Pixel are some of the marketing tools in Teachable.
You can accept payments from 130+ international currencies through Stripe Connect credit card processing or PayPal.
Teachable users
Teachable will suit training organizations, solopreneurs, or online entrepreneurs that don't require advanced course building features or an option to upload and play interactive content.
Starts at $29 per month (billed annually). Teachable has a free plan, but you can only have 10 students, and you will be charged per each course you sell. There are transaction fees for the free and basic plans on the courses you sell.
Podia positions itself as a platform that allows for selling not only online courses, but also digital downloads like eBooks, PDFs, checklists, video files, and audio files, and membership sites. The platform also has extensive features for marketing and selling all these products.
Building your course website
With Podia, you can build a digital storefront where your customers will see the products you offer and customize it with the visual editor. The platform also makes it easy to add other pages on your website, including sales pages and product pages. If you have an idea to attract your audience with content marketing, you can make a blog and publish posts that can be seen by anyone.
Creating online courses
Podia has an intuitive course editor that allows you to create simple courses that are made up of "Sections" and "Content". Your content part can be presented by text, images, videos, links, and quizzes.
For uploading digital products, there's a drag-and-drop feature.
Marketing and selling
Podia allows you to do everything you need to capture email addresses and send letters to your customers. What is unique about Podia is that it enables you to drip content and emails within the platform. You can also offer bundles of courses and coupons, upsells and cross-sell, and organize the work with affiliates.
To accept payments, you can integrate both Stripe and PayPal with WithCoach. Paypal is available for the premium option, while Stripe can be connected at all levels.
Podia users
Podia suits entrepreneurs and individuals who want to sell their digital products with a branded website. However, it doesn't have an academic focus and can be limiting in course creation and selling for training organizations.
Starts at $39 per month. Podia doesn't charge transaction fees for the courses you sell.
Teachery is another Thinkific alternative, and it claims to be a platform with "unlimited everything". It offers a single pricing plan that allows you to build as many courses and landing and payment pages as you like and have as many learners as you need for a single price. However, it is hardly fitting for those who rely heavily on creating courses with a variety of files and multimedia elements.
Building your course website
With a Teachery account, you get a storefront where all of your courses will be kept. You can also create landing pages for each course separately. These can be heavily customized and styled to match your existing branding.
Creating online courses
Teachery provides two customizable course templates. You just need to choose one and fill it with the necessary content: video, audio, images, or slide presentations. However, unlike other similar platforms, Teachery doesn't host your content. All the materials you want to add must be saved on your own host or file storage services. It supports the embedding of content from some of the most popular storage services like Google Drive, Slideshare, or YouTube.
You can style your courses to have a similar look to your corporate website, for example, by changing the colors, fonts, headings, and buttons.
Marketing and selling
Teachery allows you to build an unlimited number of landing pages tailored for different purposes and payment pages aimed at various kinds of customers. It also has affiliate links, promo codes, and discounts for the online courses. To include other marketing functionalities such as funnels, newsletters, and campaigns, you will need to integrate Zapier.
For the payment processors, Teachery only currently supports Stripe.
Teachery users
Teachery can be a good solution for individuals who are aiming to create and sell simple courses and for those that are not bothered by the fact that their content must be hosted on other storage services.
Monthly: $49 per month; Annual: $470 per year. There are no transaction fees for the courses you sell using this platform.
LearnDash LMS is a plugin for WordPress, which makes it easy to create self-hosted courses that you have full control of. It is designed for people who want to sell courses online but do it on their own site on WordPress. Learndash offers a great number of plugins to make it suitable for almost any business model.
Building your course website
Building the storefront and other pages in LearnDash works in the same way as adding a new page or post on a WordPress site. This could be advantageous for businesses that already have experience using this CMS.
The plugin works with WordPress themes, which makes it easy to match your storefront branding with your existing website. However, some customization might require paid add-ons that are not included in the LearnDash pricing.
Creating online courses
The course builder is quite easy-to-use. It lets you add "Sections" and "Lessons" and fill the latter with text, audio, video, images, documents, and HTML5 packages. A big advantage is that you can reuse all your content items for new courses.
You can enhance your courses with quizzes, motivate students by awarding them with certificates, and encourage conversation among learners by adding a course-specific forum.
The plugin allows you to drip-feed your courses and collect all your learners' results in the LearnDash Gradebook.
Marketing and selling
LearnDash doesn't provide any marketing tools, so you need to promote your courses yourself. However, you can integrate some marketing plugins like Mailchimp, Convertkit, and WPFusion that may help you do some marketing tasks.
LearnDash allows you to receive PayPal and Stripe payments. But if you want to offer coupons, vouchers, and discounts, you need to use third-party plugins like WooCommerce or Cartflows.
LearnDash users
LearnDash is good for training centers and individuals who already have their sites built in WordPress or are familiar with the WordPress environment.
1 site license: $199 lifetime (1-year support and updates)
Thinkific Alternatives: Final Thoughts

On February 11, 2018, I ran the original scenario "What Rough Beast." Meant to be a one-shot, the scenario would go on to last three sessions. The players rolled up investigators who were all around 13 years old, youths who are the only ones who might believe what is happening in the village. Players were Yorie, John, Austin, Ambralyn, Kyle, and Ben.

Rumours have been rampant that Apple is set to release a limited edition, ultra premium phone to go along with the iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus. This model had (by various outlets) been referred to as the iPhone 8 and iPhone X, but now new reports are saying that it'll simply be called the iPhone Edition.
This comes from Japanese site Mac Otakara (via TechRadar), which points out that the naming would fit in with Apple's high-end Watch Edition.
The site also claims that while previously touted features such as an AMOLED screen, a glass back and the removal of the home button are being tested along with other prototypes. Apple has apparently not decided which of these technologies it will go with. All of the rumours that have popped up are supposedly due to Apple building a whole load of prototype machines, which means that it's unknown whether they will enter mass production.
We do have a few details that have reportedly been confirmed though. These are the screen's size (around 5-inches), a dual-lens camera, wireless charging, and a lightning connecter (rather than the previously reported USB-C).
In addition to this indecision about the phone's tech, the site claims that the iPhone Edition will be announced alongside the iPhone 7S and 7S Plus at the company's now annual iPhone event in September, but that it won't go on sale until later than the regular phones. It is expected that Apple would try and get the iPhone Edition into stores before the end of 2017.
As with all of these rumours, nothing concrete can be taken from this, but it's worth noting that Mac Otakara is one of the more reliable sources for Apple speculation. Suffice to say that this won't be the last we hear about this mytical iPhone between now and its launch – whenever that is.

That's right, a whole rack of brand spanking new magnetic nail polishes practically hidden away next to the last-ditch buckets of sampled lipsticks and cracked eye shadows. I never expected to stumble across magnetic polish at Fred Meyer, but then again, I never expected to find LED gel polishes there either, and there they are indeed. Fred, you are just full of surprises.
For the uninitiated: Magnetic nail polish contains metallic particles that react to a magnet held just above the surface of the wet polish. A handful of brands produce magnetic polishes, including Nails Inc. (now available at Sephora) and LCN. Some companies (like LCN) make you buy the magnets separately, but on the Layla Magneffect polishes I spotted at Freddy's, the magnet is built into the cap. Here, allow this charming Italian woman explain to you how you use the magnet-uh in the cap-uh:
Personally, I'm on the fence about magnetic polish. I think my problem is the price-to-variety ratio. Magnetic nail polish is not cheap. Even this brand carried at Fred Meyer is priced at $14.99. Per bottle. And then you're limited to what you can do with one magnet. I mean yeah, it looks cool. But I don't see how I can justify spending $15 just to put stripes on my fingernails. I might feel differently if they came with an assortment of magnets to create a variety of effects. Or are there some secret magnetic nail polish hacks out there? Anyone know any tricks?
For now, I'm going to hold off on investing in magnetic nail polish, although I am drawn to some of the LCN polishes after seeing swatches. If you decide to hit up your neighborhood Fred Meyer, though, check out the Layla display and let me know what you think.
And if the display is empty, remember to check beneath the bottom shelves. My Freddy's already has extra boxes of magnetic polish tucked away under marked-down Jovan Musk gift sets:

There are rumors that she is pregnant, while there are sources that claim she is not. However, if you truly were able to keep up with the Kardashians, you know that the baby story is true.
Kourtney Kardashian is pregnant with baby number three by long time partner Scott Disick.
The 35-year-old star is expected to give birth in just a few months according to reports. Sources also tip information to showbiz magazines saying this wouldn't be Kourtney's last child because she plans to have plenty of kids. The pregnancy was planned.
Kourtney welcomed her second child Penelope not over two years ago, while she gave birth to her eldest son Mason in 2009. Mason and Penelope are going to have a new baby brother or sister, so they better make room.
Reports have confirmed that she is in fact pregnant. This is such a blessing because, hey, trice is nice.
In 2012, Kourtney made a tongue-in-cheek remark in their reality TV show Keeping Up With the Kardashians that she is done with birth control. She said having kids is what life is about. She said she won't be taking contraceptive pills because she doesn't believe in it anymore.
The baby is expected in December. The couple still does not know the gender; all they want is for the baby to be healthy.
There were hints that she is pregnant. When she returned to New York City after Kim Kardashian's Wedding with Kanye West in Europe, an eyewitness noticed her glowing cheeks. Also, when Kourtney and Scott had a double date with sister Khloe and French Montana, the eldest Kardashian avoided drinking and asked for a ginger ale. She was also spotted going to her ob-gyn in LA. Now, the news about her third pregnancy is finally confirmed.

Madden's Golf Course in East Gull Lake, Brainerd has a long list of accolades
including being rated one of America's Top 100 Greatest Public Courses.
The Classic, Madden's bar and grill located next to the clubhouse is one of the most popular restaurants in the Brainerd Lakes area and was even rated #3 in The Most Beautiful Restaurants in All of Minnesota.
The restaurant offers a locally-inspired menu, full lounge and an incredible view of the course.
I loved the Corn Bean Fresco; a pretty dish filled with black, young green, butter and lima beans, sweet corn, avocado, tomato, green onion, and roasted peppers topped off with queso fresco and subtle lime vinaigrette.
The Classic is open at 11 am for lunch and 5 pm for dinner every day.

Eurochild concludes Annual Conference with a call for action to the European Union and the Member States.
Europe is facing difficult times but the turmoil must not jeopardise investment in children and families otherwise the losses in human and social capital will be unquantifiable. We should not risk long term investments for short term gains.
The Europe 2020 Strategy provides an opportunity to give a new impetus to the fight against child poverty in the EU with an ambitious goal of taking 20 million people out of poverty by 2020. But this strategy will only succeed if a coherent, inclusive approach to supporting, strengthening and empowering children and families most at risk is adopted.
During the Eurochild Annual Conference several key elements for success have been identified:
? Europe must be prepared to back local, national and regional authorities in their efforts.
? The long awaited Recommendation on Child Poverty and Well-being ? which is scheduled for 2012 ? will provide a clear framework for the EU and Member States. We urge European and National politicians to give the Recommendation priority attention.
? Eurochild and its members will continue campaigning for a dedicated EU children's budget.
? We ? repeatedly ? call for a monitoring framework that facilitates up-to-date data collection on a regular basis.
? Eurochild will publish in 2012 a Compendium of Inspiring Practice as the success of all policies depend on how they are put into practice.
This Partnership involves institutions active in the field of lifelong learning, specialising on cultural traditions of five European countries: Bulgaria, Estonia, Italy, Spain and Latvia. The aim of this partnership is to develop lifelong learning skills through exchange of divers European rural and urban cultural experiences in attractive and effective networking - between adult and young learners, different types of institutions from participating European countries. Learning each others' cultural heritage is a powerful tool for fighting exclusion caused by economical and social differences between old and new EU Member States. Involving teachers and professionals of culture enables the organisers to disseminate the knowledge and skills largely in the participating countries. One of main objectives is to involve rural people and encourage them to develop their skills and awareness in European context. Important is an involvement of parents of young people as future adult learners.
Of special importance is the preparation of a teacher for presentation of work ? a song, a play or a piece of art to the learner that requires specific knowledge and preparation.
We live communicating through the art and the awareness in the various characteristics and methods would be favourable for the process of communication.
This partnership's main result will be increased number of encouraged, culturally aware and actively networking learners from different generations of Europeans that are using new tools and methods to improve their professional qualification and better access the labour market.
Indirect beneficiaries will be local communities and schools that will be able to attract more adult learners.

The evil demon lord Ba'zlbub has been tracked to the City of a Thousand Rooms. Being a demon, it is not sufficient to kill him, you must also bring back his black heart so we can perform the ritual to seal him back in the Abyss.
Now, the vile beast has cast powerful magics to make him immune to all spells. However, we have found a deeper elemental magic that should work!
Take that two-wood over there... What? What do you mean silver-gilt 16th-century armchair? A flower is a flower by any other name! Pay attention!
Take that two-wood over there and [t]ransmute it into wooden coins. You can then [z]ap an elemental spell, consuming those coins to heal yourself. As you find more elements, you can reason out more spells.
Good hunting! Your foe should be found below depth 20.
Transmute items into their elemental components and combine them to cast spells.

NC Child Support Guidelines
by W. Lee Allen III, Colombo-Kitchen Attorneys
As they spend money on friends and family for holiday gift-giving and events, parents often wonder if the amount of child support they receive is correctly calculated. How do child support guidelines really work?
There are three guideline "worksheets." Think of "worksheet" meaning "formula." Worksheet A is the most common and will be used here for illustrative purposes. It applies when the non-custodial parent has the child(ren) for less than 123 overnights (per child if more than one) per year. If the non-custodial parent has each child for 123 or more over nights per year, Worksheet B is used. If there is more than one child and each party is the primary custodian for at least one of their children, then Worksheet C is used.
In North Carolina, the gross incomes of the parents become the first factor. Clients will often express surprise that net income is not used and disagree, but North Carolina uses gross income. Gross income means "income before any deductions are credited."
Specifically, gross income is defined as income from all sources, including social security benefits (received for the benefit of a child as a result of the retirement or disability of one of the parents). However, any governmental benefits that a parent receives that are means-tested public assistance are excluded from the definition of gross income. Thus, food stamps and SSI benefits, among others, are not included.
Self-employed parents or parents who operate a business have their incomes defined as "gross receipts minus ordinary and necessary business expenses." North Carolina law allows "straight-line" depreciation as an ordinary and necessary expense, while accelerated depreciation is not allowed.
If an employer pays certain expenses for a parent, reimburses certain expenses of a parent, or makes certain in-kind payments (car, housing, etc.,) then these amounts can be included in a parent's income for child support purposes, to the extent that they reduce personal living expenses.
The current gross income for each parent is calculated on a monthly basis. Tax returns can help shed light on the current figure, but the law requires a determination of current income.
After the current gross income of each parent is determined, certain adjustments are to be considered. A parent who pays pre-existing child support (pursuant to an agreement or a court order) for any other child has that amount deducted from his or her income.
Likewise, a parent also gets credit for any other minor child (who is not the child of the other) who lives with him or her. Logically, a child living with a parent imposes a financial obligation on that parent and thus reduces the amount of money that parent has available for other purposes each month.
Each of the parents' monthly adjusted gross income is determined by applying either or both of these credits to the monthly gross income for each. The total monthly adjusted gross income for both parents is then used to determine the parents' basic child support obligation by using the schedule of basic child support obligations as determined by the North Carolina Conference of Chief District Court Judges.
For example, if the monthly adjusted gross income of the father is $6000 and the monthly adjusted gross income of the mother is $5000, then the monthly basic child support obligation for one child is $1094, using the current guidelines.
Then, to the basic monthly child support obligation of each parent, additional adjustments are made. There are three types of such adjustments.
Work-related child care adjustments paid by a parent are added to the basic child support obligation. Below certain income levels, 100% is added to the basic monthly child support obligation.
The monthly amount(s) paid by a parent (or parents) for medical and dental insurance for the minor child(ren) at issue in the case is added to the basic child support obligation.
Any "extraordinary" expense that a parent incurs for the children is calculated on a monthly basis and an adjustment is appropriate if the expense is necessary, reasonable, and in the child's best interests. Examples include private school tuition, specialized instruction/ lessons, etc.
Each parent's pro-rata share of the total monthly adjusted gross income is then applied to the adjusted child support obligation, and a final credit is given to the non-custodial parent for his or her work-related child care expenses, the amount of medical and dental insurance premiums paid for the child(ren) and his or her extra-ordinary expenses paid on the child(ren)'s behalf. The resulting figure is the non-custodial parent's child support obligation each month.

Bombardier has announced the sale of its aerostructures business to Spirit AeroSystems Holding, Inc. (Spirit).
Spirit will acquire Bombardier's aerostructures activities and aftermarket services operations in Belfast, Casablanca, Morocco; and its aerostructures maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility in Dallas, US for a cash consideration of $500 million along with taking on liabilities including government refundable advances and pension obligations valued in excess of $700 million.
Following the transaction, Spirit will continue to supply structural aircraft components and spare parts to support the production and in-service fleet of Bombardier Aviation's Learjet, Challenger and Global families of aircraft. The sale agreement supports Bombardier's strategic decision to closely focus on its two strong growth pillars – trains and business aircraft with 2019 revenues for these activities are expected to be approximately $1 billion.
Agreement streamlines aerostructures footprint
The sale agreement follows the formation of Bombardier Aviation earlier this year and streamlines Bombardier's aerostructures footprint to focus on core capabilities in Montreal, Mexico and Global 7500 wing operations in Texas. The transaction will also strengthens Bombardier's liquidity. It is expected to be completed in early 2020, subject to regulatory approval.
Alain Bellemare, President and Chief Executive Officer, Bombardier Inc said: "This transaction represents another strategic milestone in the reshaping of our portfolio to focus on our strong business aircraft and rail franchises.

Dating the Apocalypse of Abraham is difficult due to the lack of concrete historical references in the book. It refers to the destruction of the temple in chapter 30 and possibly Vesuvius in the same context. The fact the book is interested in the fall of the Temple and the fate of the Jews in the time after the fall of the temple argues for a date at the end of the first century, parallel to 2 Baruch and 4 Ezra. There is some external evidence, but even this evidence is not decisive. Origen, for example, refers to an "Apocalypse of Abraham" used by the Sethians, but is probably not the same as the present Apocalypse of Abraham. The original language of the book appears to have been Hebrew, implying an earlier date and Palestinian origin. The book has an interest in the temple and the priesthood in the first sections. Proper worship of God is important ("recite these words, etc.) Near the end of the book the "eschatology" seems very Christian.
The first seven chapters of the book are a narrative of Abraham's realization the gods his father Terah crafts are nothing but wood and stone. His father asks him to sell five idols of Marumath, but Abraham loses three in the river. Later, while cooking his father's dinner he sarcastically asks the god Barisat to watch over the cooking fire while he went to ask his father what he should cook. When he returns, the fire was still going and the god was burning himself. Abraham and Terah argue over this; Abraham says the god is nothing and says the gods are only honored because Terah made them well.
Abraham is pondering the gods when a voice from heaven calls to him and says he is the God of gods and commands him to leave the house of Terah (chapter 8). When he does, it is destroyed with a great thunder and fire. Abraham goes out and prepares a sacrifice, and while he is doing this he has a vision (chapter 9). He falls to the ground without strength and an angel is sent to strengthen him. The angel says he was the one that gave the order to destroy his father's house and now he will bless Abraham because he was seeking the eternal one (chapter 10). The angel is described in chapter 11 very much like the "man" in Dan 7 or Jesus Christ in Revelation 1.
Abraham and this angel go walked for forty days without eating or drinking and came to the mountain of God. Abraham wants to make a sacrifice, but has nothing. The angel tells him to look behind, and Abraham sees the sacrifice prepared (chapter 12). Abraham performs the sacrifice as commanded, but at the time of the evening sacrifice an unclean bird comes to him and asks what he is doing. This bird, we are told, is Azaz'el. The angel commands Azaz'el to leave (chapter 13). The angel tells Abraham he has been chosen by God and Azaz'el has been sent far from men. At sunset they continue their ascent of the Mountain of God and Abraham sees Gehenna and a great crowd of people running around and prostrating themselves (chapter 15).
Abraham questions the angel as to why he has been brought to this place (chapter 16). The angels tells him to not fear and be strengthened, then fire engulfed them, and the angel knelt with Abraham and worshiped. The angel teaches Abraham a song of worship he is to recite without ceasing (Chapter 17). This song of prayer is filled with repeated attributes and names of God (Eternal One, El, God autocrat), as well as descriptions and titles (light-giver, thunder-voiced, many-eyed). While he is singing this song the fire is rising higher and higher and Abraham sees the cherubim under the throne of fire (chapter 18, cf. Ezek. 1, Rev. 4-5). A voice from the midst of the fire called to him and he is told to look out over the expanse. He sees fire spread out and a multitude of angels and a "host of the invisible glory" (chapter 19).
In the vision Abraham sees all of creation as displayed before him as a huge painting or picture. The vision proceeds as he is told to look at various parts of the image. This is a specialized form of apocalyptic vision known as an ekphrasis, a literary description of a work of art. Any work of art based on another work of art may be described as an ekphrasis, such as music interpreting a painting, for example, but most often ekphrasis is a literary description of a painting or tableaux. He is told to look up at the stars and is told his seed will be as the stars of heaven (chapter 20).
He is then told to look down at his feet and he sees creation and all the creatures prepared for it (chapter 21). He sees the land giving fruit and the Garden of Eden. He asks about this picture of creation and the Lord tells him this is how it was when he created it (chapter 22). But at the right side of this picture he sees Azazel, the one who seduced Eve (chapter 23). Azaz'el is condemned for ruining creation. As he looks at the picture, Abraham is told to look at the crafty adversary Cain, who killed his brother. Abraham sees an "idol of jealousy" like his father used to make, being worshiped by a man. Boys were being slaughtered to this god, but Abraham does not know the god, the worshiper or the temple it is in. The Lord says this is the temple of The Lord and he is angry with the seed of Abraham for this worship (chapter 25). Abraham asks if God has established this judgment on the council of only one (chapter 26) and the Lord tells him to look again at the picture (chapter 26). As he looks again, Abraham sees the Temple burning with fire and being plundered and destroyed (chapter 27). Abraham prays for this evil never to happen, but the Lord says this destruction is just because the people worshiping did not regard God.
Abraham asks what the fate of the people of the time of the destruction of the temple might be and for how long will they suffer (chapter 28). The answer is obscure, "four ascents." The fourth ascent will be one hundred years, and an hour of that age will be on a hundred years. This seems to have perplexed Abraham too, since he cries out to the Lord and asks how long an hour is in the age (chapter 29). The Lord tells him to count it out himself by looking again at the picture. In 29:9-13 there seems to be evidence Christian influence, since there will come a man at the end of the age who will be trusted by the heathen but the Jews will insult and beat him and many will be offended by him (an obviously Christian element.) Before the age of justice grows the heathen will come upon the seed of Abraham and persecute them. Many righteous of Abraham's seed will remain.
Chapter 30 lists ten plagues which will happen in the last twelve hours of the earth (these are general cosmological chaos.) Then the trumpet will sound out of the air and the Lord will send his chosen one and he will summon his people from the heathens and the Lord will judge them with fire and deliver them to Azaz'el in Hades. By way of a conclusion, Abraham is asked if he understands what his tribe will encounter in the last days (chapter 31). Abraham acknowledges that he does understand.
Although the book is identified as an apocalypse, it might be fairly descried as an expansion on Genesis 12. Genesis does not really address the question of why God choose Abram, he suddenly appears in Genesis 12 and God simply tells him to go to the land he will show him. Modern theologians discuss whether the Abrahamic covenant was conditional or not, the Apocalypse of Abraham offers a legendary explanation for God's chose of Abram, he was already a monotheist and well on his way to being a righteous Jew, so God chose to bless him.

Dedicated to the picture a day
I went running yesterday after work. I planned to add some distance since its been harder getting mileage in before work in the mornings.
It just wasn't happening. The pale grey sky turned dark fast and I quickly switched direction to come home. My last mile is on a dirt road with pasture on either side. A small pond in the middle of the pasture, surrounded by cows, just barely reflected the swift moving clouds. My fear of storms was not over powering. I think I am learning to appreciate the beauty and power of God's earth.
I couldn't help but grab my camera when I got home.
I was chicken to go back down the dirt road.
My home will suffice. You get the point. Luminous clouds.. blog picture.
Mr. Broome comes home from his business trip today. He ended up having to stay an extra day so I am anxious to have him home, especially with the prediction of storms for the rest of the week.
You can't really enjoy a storm without someone to snuggle up with.

REVIEW: Eminem – The Marshall Mathers LP 2 (2013)
Artist: Eminem
Album: The Marshall Mathers LP 2
Everyone has a select few artists which, with a single note or a simple melody, can evoke even the most detailed and immersive forces of nostalgia. For me, Eminem is one of those artists. I will forever remember the day when I was young and going to work with my father for the annual "take-your-child-to-work" day at the bank he worked at in downtown Detroit. That day was the same day I purchased Eminem's—or Marshall Mathers the second—debut release, Infinite. Since that day, I've been hooked on every detail of his music that makes it so unique from other artists populating the hip-hop and rap charts. I experienced the hay day of the early 2000's—where his material was flawless in every respect—to the low points that plagued the latter parts of the decade and the early points of this one; through thick and thin, I had always felt as if Eminem and I were, at least musically, inseparable—even if it came painstakingly through his releases Relapse and Recovery. However, with the release of the ambitiously-titled MMLP2 (that's The Marshall Mathers LP 2), the long-dormant Eminem fan boy in me has awoken from its prolonged slumber: MMLP2 is a release which is comprehensive of Eminem's talent in nearly every light—laden with club-banging singles and controversial, intense tracks, this release is one which will please fans of not just his recent releases, but his classics as well.
I loaded the album into iTunes, added the album art and mentally prepared myself. This is the follow-up to my favorite album by my favorite rapper, I thought. What if this sucks? I was anxious to say the least—perhaps nervous or terrified might be more accurate. However, from the very first line of "Bad Guy," my fears were assuaged and my anxiety quelled. He's back, I rejoiced. "Bad Guy" is one of many tracks—"So Much Better" and lead single "Berzerk" among them—that highlight the album's brilliant production to accompany Eminem's renowned lyrical prowess. "So Much Better" is bouncy and catchy, while "Bad Guy" is nothing short of addictive. In fact, a majority of the lyrical brilliance of The Marshall Mathers LP 2 is laid on a foundation of brilliant beats that combine radio-friendly, club-friendlier bass with hooky instrumentation and sing-a-long dynamics that would put Sesame Street to shame. "Survival" is one such instance—a track which has a radio-friendly chorus that practically begs to be a single, but verses that slice the listener open with some of Eminem's deepest cuts to date. The best part? Once the listener hears "Survival," they'll have a hard time un-hearing it; the song is built on a ground-leveling, anthemic beat that drives the lyrics home like a baseball off of Prince Fielder's bat.
Fundamentally though, the beauty to be found in Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP 2 lies in the lyrics—after all, it isn't Eminem's beautiful voice that keeps us coming back, nor is it necessarily the intricacy of the beats that keeps the listener hooked: it's what he says. It's this respect in which the listener can truly rejoice in the return of the Great White American Hope of the hip-hop game. Shy of the lackluster lyrics driving "Berzerk" or the goofy and innately immature "Asshole," every track on MMLP2 is loaded with the same lyrical ingenuity which was present on the album's predecessor. As a matter of fact, it's close relation and constant reference to the "original" Marshall Mathers LP is one of the most wonderful things about the release. For starters, the skit "Parking Lot" picks up right where 2000's "Criminal" left off—or "Asshole"'s shout-out to "Drug Ballad"—not to mention the entirety of "Bad Guy" and "Rap God" which drip with explicit (in every sense of the word) and subtle references to this release's Y2K counterpart. Even the quirky track "So Far…" (that wouldn't work if it were releases by any other artist) throws the odd nod to the Eminem we all know and love—the ones who this release is primarily aimed at—circa 2000.
Oddly enough, the sections where The Marshall Mathers LP 2 seems to fall short are the sections that were released as singles—specifically "Berzerk" and "The Monster." The former is, to put it simply, boisterous and over-the-top in a way more reminiscent of the more mainstream-aimed Relapse (as opposed to the over-the-top nature of his other material). The latter—"The Monster"—bears witness to Eminem beating the same dead horse he did throughout Recovery and Relapse combined ("Asshole" and "Survival," I'm looking at you too), and that dead horse is the over-use of the "let's have a female pop star sing the chorus" strategy. While it does have its merit when employed scarcely, its presence throughout MMLP2 is far from scarce. While it is tiresome, the fact is that Eminem more than makes up for it with "Survival"'s anthemic nature, or "Rap God," a song that sounds arrogant until the listener actually listens to it—the lyrical magnificence of this track is matched only by the flow with which Eminem weaves his wondrously written words, as if the dictionary was a spool of pure silk and "Rap God" is the blanket from which it is crafted. In light of the magnitude of brilliant, beautiful material Eminem brings to the table throughout the album's 78-minute run time, the few (if not glaring) shortcomings are at least forgivable—if not ignorable altogether.
Abrasive? Check. Crude? Check. Offensive? You betcha. The Marshall Mathers LP 2 is definitely not a family-friendly album: but it doesn't try to be. For, while Eminem is seen here in his most explicit and care-free light for years, he is also seen in his truest and purest form with relatively little filler. His lyrics are brilliant, his voice catchy and the beats even catchier. It might not be the pure perfection of 2000's The Marshall Mathers LP, but it's definitely close enough for comfort.
Rating: 9.5/10
For Fans Of: …It's an Eminem record.

(2) "Beneficiary" means heir at law in an intestate estate and devisee in a testate estate. The term "beneficiary" does not apply to an heir at law or a devisee after that person's interest in the estate has been satisfied. In the case of a devise to an existing trust or trustee, or to a trust or trustee described by will, the trustee is a beneficiary of the estate. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, the beneficiary of the trust is not a beneficiary of the estate of which that trust or the trustee of that trust is a beneficiary. However, if each trustee is also a personal representative of the estate, each qualified beneficiary of the trust as defined in s. 736.0103 shall be regarded as a beneficiary of the estate.
(3) "Child" includes a person entitled to take as a child under this code by intestate succession from the parent whose relationship is involved, and excludes any person who is only a stepchild, a foster child, a grandchild, or a more remote descendant.
(4) "Claim" means a liability of the decedent, whether arising in contract, tort, or otherwise, and funeral expense. The term does not include an expense of administration or estate, inheritance, succession, or other death taxes.
(5) "Clerk" means the clerk or deputy clerk of the court.

The term includes "gift," "give," "bequeath," "bequest," and "legacy." A devise is subject to charges for debts, expenses, and taxes as provided in this code, the will, or the trust.
(11) "Devisee" means a person designated in a will or trust to receive a devise. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, in the case of a devise to an existing trust or trustee, or to a trust or trustee of a trust described by will, the trust or trustee, rather than the beneficiaries of the trust, is the devisee. However, if each trustee is also a personal representative of the estate, each qualified beneficiary of the trust as defined in s. 736.0103 shall be regarded as a devisee.
(12) "Distributee" means a person who has received estate property from a personal representative or other fiduciary other than as a creditor or purchaser. A testamentary trustee is a distributee only to the extent of distributed assets or increments to them remaining in the trustee's hands.

The Big Idea: Print Farms, Metal, and ADAM
Markforged continues to blaze its own path in the world of 3D printing, first with the announcement and release of the first metal desktop 3D printer priced under 100K. More recently Markforged CEO, Greg Mark, announced that their latest endeavors focus around the concept of 3D print farms. Print farms are not a new concept by any means, but this concept has seen most of its application in the realm of plastic printed materials. Before delving too far into Greg's latest endeavors, it's important to spend a moment discussing why the Metal X is so revolutionary. The Metal X printer is unique not because of its ability to print metal, but more so for its ability to do so in such an efficient manner. Not only is the printer more efficient than pretty much any other metal printer on the market, it's also compact enough to fit on your desk (more on why this is such an amazing step in technological advancement later in the article) The reason the Metal X printer has taken the print world by storm is largely centered around the process in which Greg and the team at Markforged have developed for printing metal materials. The process is called Atomic Diffusion Additive Manufacturing or ADAM for short.
Here's the technical definition of ADAM from Markforged's website.
"ADAM prints your part using a bound metal powder rod that transforms into a dense metal part in one easy step. Bulk sintering provides crystal growth through all axes giving your parts excellent mechanical properties in all directions."
Still not sure what exactly is going on? Not to worry here's a video.
Simple enough right? Where here's where things get all rise against the machines… Fast forward to a few days ago in Greg's latest press conference, he's quoted saying "The future of metal 3D printing is in print farms." The future of printing? Really? Yes! Here's why… Mark states that the 3D printing and additive manufacturing industry has shifted gears from focusing on creating machines that produce one of creations in a somewhat efficient manner which is more of a short-term vision, to focusing on the large term which is to replace the current "analog" methods of metal production with a more streamlined and dare I say automated approach to metal production. This digital upgrade will come in the form of a concept discussed earlier, print farms. A print farm is basically a set of printers set up to run in parallel in order to produce a particular part or pieces that make up a larger part in a more efficient manner than the current production process in use will allow. For the team at Markforged, this shift in focus came internally first. Over the past months since the release of the Metal X printer their team has assembled a prototype "print farm" which has over 100 printers running in parallel. He goes on to explain that half of the printers are dedicated to producing parts for developing new printers (which is something that you could adopt yourself if you were to purchase a printer of your own), 30 printers are used for long-term cycle testing, and 20 are used in operations to manufacture sample parts.
How Markforged Print Farms Work
The Metal X printer farm concept will utilize the advanced smart sensors built into the machine in combination with Markforged fleet management software to control the workflow of the large the number of connected printers within the network. As mentioned earlier this is largely unthreaded water in regards to 3D printing metal, but the Markforged team did have previous experience in the form of plastic 3D print farms. Take for example Voodoo manufacturing, a New York-based additive manufacturing bureau, which has stepped up an automated FFF printer farm that now operated by an autonomous arm. Stay tuned as we continue to cover all things Markforged and provide you with all your need to know information about additive printing, prototyping, and large scale manufacturing Thanks for giving this article a read, if you enjoyed it feel free to pass it along to someone else.
