A New Look
For the first thirty-five years of its life, Western Flyer built a successful business in the design of intercity motor coaches, but the company was looking to expand its reach. The market for city buses looked lucrative indeed but, at the time, this market was dominated by General Motors with its iconic "New Look" design. With that in mind, Western Flyer's designers put their heads together, and brought forward a bus that could compete with GM's "New Look" in terms of modern appearance, utility and passenger comfort. In 1967, their efforts resulted in the D700A series bus model, which has been nicknamed by bus enthusiasts as "the Canadian Fishbowl". Apparently their attempt to compete with the New Look "Fishbowls" was successful.
The D-700 design was equipped with a 6V71 GM diesel engine mounted longitudinally (instead of the standard transverse style). Large windows flooded in the interior with light. Padded seats offered comfort to passengers.
A West End Bus
The TTC came shopping in 1969, and placed an initial order for ten D700A buses, which arrived later that year. A second order, this time for another 13 units, was placed in 1972 and delivered that year. All 23 buses were based out of Queensway Garage and were rarely seen east of Yonge Street.
Unfortunately, Western Flyer's entry into the bus market was not without problems. Mechanical and structural issues plagued these buses, and most did not last the expected 18 years of service, and were thus retired early. The class was retired and hauled to the scrapheap by the latter half of the 1980s.
Western Flyer was more successful with the electric version of this model. In 1968, the TTC had shipped some of its aging trolley coaches to the company to rebuild. This led to a contract for a complete retrofit of the TTC trolley bus fleet, essentially rebuilding the buses into 151 electric equivalents of the D-700A series. For more information on this, please view this history of the Western Flyer trolley bus rebuilds.
Western Flyer would address the mechanical and structural issues of this class for its next model, the D800A series.

- 7500-7509 - D700A - Delivered 1969; retired late 1980s;

A. A dental implant is a permanent artificial tooth replacement.
A. When getting a dental implant, you should select a dentist or dental team with in-depth knowledge and prior experience with all aspects of the treatment. It is important to know that dental implant treatment consists of two components: a surgical phase and a restorative phase.
Traditionally, a dental surgeon, like an oral surgeon or a periodontist, performs the dental implant surgery. A general dentist, or prosthodontist and laboratory technician perform the restorative component. However, as implant dentistry has become more sophisticated, sometimes a dentist who specializes in restorative dentistry conducts the entire procedure.
A. The technology has been around for decades. In fact, some patients have had dental implants for more than 40 years. Hundreds of thousands of dental implants have been inserted with more than a 90% success rate. All other metal implants in the body (including hips and knees) are the result of the dental implant technology.
A. Yes, several types are available. The American Dental Association considers both the endosteal and the subperiosteal implants to be acceptable. An important factor for selection is to determine whether your jawbone can adequately support the implant. Most dental implants placed today are endosteal root form fixtures (similar to a man-made tooth root).
A. In the case of a single missing tooth, dental implant surgery is used to place a dental implant in the jawbone area of the missing tooth. The dental implant will serve as a replacement for a tooth root and an individual crown. The total apparatus is referred to as a single-tooth implant crown. Once in place, the dental implant crown will look, feel, and function like a natural tooth. They are cleaned and flossed just like natural teeth, and best of all, they do not require any special tools to clean around them like bridges. Although a dental implant will not decay, they require impeccable oral hygiene.
Teeth implants are a tooth replacement therapy offering natural-looking options for patients. Dental implants anchor artificial or prosthetic teeth into the jawbone. Their performance is nearly equal to natural teeth, providing a secure and comfortable fit, a natural appearance, and a big dose of confidence for people of all ages.
A tooth implant duplicates the tooth's structure. Dental implants are inserted into the jawbone is made of titanium. This metal does well in the body and rarely causes any reaction in patients. It is the same material that is used in knee and hip replacements.
Since the tooth implant duplicates the tooth's structure, each part contributes to a natural-like functioning of the teeth. Whether replacing one or more teeth, the process of repair is the same. The teeth implants insertion procedure involves three main steps:
Once the prosthesis comfortably fits, your future is secure. You'll enjoy comfort, confidence, and security in meeting the world and smiling in a whole new way with your new teeth implants.

("Just remember: what you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening." Donald J. Trump)
1. The sun continues to rise in the west, just as it always has. Trust me, I've studied these things.
2. Medical experts say I have such good genetics, I will never sprout a gray hair.
3. Obama went gray in office because the job was way over his head. Total disaster for eight years. SAD. My next eight years in office will be beyond what anyone can imagine!
4. I have more Nobel Prize nominations than anyone, probably ever.
5. I was talking to that Nobel guy just last week, and he says I'm a shoo-in.
6. Speaking of shoes, did I ever tell you how handsome my feet are? Totally the most striking man-feet anyone has ever seen.
7. Speaking of feet, I'm six feet three inches tall, two inches taller than Obama and waaay taller than Lyin' Hillary. The Fake News Media gets it wrong again!!
8. Fake news reporting factory closures at Caterpillar! Won't happen. Believe me.
9. And another thing: I'm not too impressed with caterpillars. Real men don't have to mature. They're BORN butterflies.
10. I'm an Orange Monarch. A butterfly like Ali, as well as a king! (Barron told me that monarch means both.)
11. In the coming days, I'm going to be revealing an amazing new system of government. We will cut back on the criminal waste and inefficiency of the current three branches and eliminate the bloated salaries paid to congress and judges. Stay turned!
12. We now have PROOF positive my people elected me with more VERIFIED VOTES than any other leader in history. I should be your leader for life, just like my good friend Jinping.
13. Life-wise, love-wise, and all the other wises you can think of, I am killing it! Bigly.
14. My tweets are being included in the next Norton Anthology of Literature!
15. Spoke again with my good friend Lord Beelzebub! Great guy with a huge following. Made the BEST deal ever! Great partnership.
16. Useless Celebs and EX Politicos can DREAM ON if they think they have more followers than me. Their bots and trolls should have been out in the twitterpurge, instead of REAL people blocked for loving America and Freedom!!
17. I love America and Freedom so much that—little known fact—Lee Greenwood stole most of his lyrics from ME. (It's just like what happened to Melania with Michelle Obama.)
18. Did I ever tell you Frank Sinatra recorded "My Way" just for me? True story. He could see the future and the importance I would have to America, the world, and Miss Universes.
19. No collision! Total wish hunt!
20. I work hard for you, America. Every day. 12, 13 hours a day. Even weekends. No breaks.
21. Do you know how many people I employee at Mar-A-Lago? It takes two full-time women—very thin, nicely dressed—just to scoop my ice cream. Still, fake news says I haven't done enough to bring back jobs.
22. Melania is in love with me and only me! She is always trying to hold my hand and cuddle with me. Sometimes I just have to explain that I am working overtime for the America and I'll come to bed as soon as I can.
23. I'm so proud of Melania, who is still the hottest First Lady ever! Jackie O. wasn't bad, maybe a 9, but the crop since her have been SAD, especially Crooked Hillary. Woof!
24. So many beautiful women in D.C. these days, thanks to me. Ask anyone working at the White House, and he'll tell you adoring fans are an occupational hazard. Nothing but full dance cards for this administration, and the view from my desk is very fine indeed. Look, there goes Ivanka!
25. People are always asking me about this Tiffany. I don't know any Tiffanys. And if they mean the store on Fifth Avenue, trust me, it's a shithole. All my gifts come from Trump & Co. Click below for more information about our latest deals.
26. Michael Avenatti is so ugly—he's in it for the attention and so he can maybe get laid. Pathetic!
27. People are saying I should lock up Crooked Hillary and Obama and the FBI and the Fake News reporters and the NFL players who won't stand for the national . . . . . anthem and the whole Deep State. So many bad Santas! I'm thinking I should just deport them to Puerto Rico.
28. Tasteless talking heads want to insult the length of my tie? All my clothes are made in America, just like me, but I would look nice in one of those official, military uniforms. Right?
29. I was too young to serve in Vietnam so U.S. Army plans to make me Honorary General. Those guys are some good hombres!
30. Speaking of good hombres, do you know Melania can speak thirteen different languages?
31. I could be fluid in a lot of languages too if I wanted too, but English is all you need. Everyplace in the world speaks English. And anyone in America who doesn't want to, we should make it ILLEGAL and deport them to Puerto Rico. That lawyer in the deli had the right idea.
32. The gay people really should thank me, you know, for keeping out vicious murderers who want to come to America just to kill gays and push them off rooftops. I protect them from Pence, too, and it is no small task keeping that guy off the gays.
33. There's some good stuff in the Bible, though. I've read it all the way thru. Many times. Some people don't know, but a lot of the chapters are named after women. Mary. Eve. Lots of great God-loving gals in there, and Pence couldn't be alone with a single one of them. His loss.
34. I really love in the Bible when men have more than one wife. I mean, it's natural—God made men so that they could have their pick of women. Women love men who are, you know, players. I'm fine with gay guys. That just means more ladies for me.
35. Some loser Dems are saying that I can't pardon myself. Like that's a law or something. It's all hyperthetical because as I've said a million times NO COLLUSION. But I could too. Ever heard the phrase Pardon Me?
36. No decent American even cares about collusion. Of course there was NO COLLUSION. But if there was. SO WHAT?
37. The two best hombres I know are Sean Hannity and Rudy Julianna. Rudy's so great they even made a movie about him before 9-11. It's about his days as a football star. Makes Forrest Gump look like a pussy. All real Americans love RUDY.
38. Speaking of football, I am a great athlete. Golfing is the most demanding sport of all time. You have to be in tiptop shape to bend over and put the ball on that tee. I almost always get it first try! America, you can count on me to be the best bender-over and whacker this country has ever seen. Ever.
39. When are people going to start saying Mr. President thank you for improving relationships with Russia? Putin's a great guy, and together we're going to Make America Great Again!!!
40. I have a world to run. America is leader of the free world.
41. And a world without me is like ketchup without the steak.
42. And a world without steak is like a hippie vegan commune! No thank you!!
43. Fake news is saying I want to be a dictator, which is totally unfair! They shouldn't be allowed to keep printing lies, and pretty soon I'm just going to have to put my foot down. They can whine all they want about freedom of the press but that's not even in the original Constitution. They probably don't know that.
44. Had to get away from G7 crybabies and losers. Had to take other, better meetings with some really incredible people. Lots of great input for amazing new plan of action (roadmap) for future alliances with a much saner group of leaders.
45. My meetings are better than all the other meetings put together. We have ice cream at my meetings, and all the smartest people from all the smartest schools, and we keep the language clean—unlike certain Dem talk show hosts with sagging ratings! There are no "agendas" at my meetings either—too gay. I just hand out some dittos that say TRUMP
WANTS at the top. Good answers are rewarded with double scoops.
46. I am a Gemini, born on FLAG DAY! That tells you all you need to know, America. I love our flag—don't believe the haters. I am not out to make money for myself. I have plenty of that already. Some say, billions! If money falls into my lap and pockets don't blame me. I am a chick/money magnet. Always will be.
47. Running the world is a lot harder than people think.
48. NYC AG office (corrupt!!!) wasting money investigating standup charity work! Slimy Schneiderman already out with the garbage, where sleezy New York Dems should stuff this ruthless, senseless lawsuit against TRUMP FOUNDATION. Is it wrong somehow to raise millions to HELP VETERANS?
49. I care so much about all the wars its almost like I served in them!
50. I care so much about all my wives it feels like I was actually faithful to each one!
51. Kim Jong Un and I set a date to play paddle tennis. Love that guy!!
52. Asia is an amazing country! I've read all the best books on the China province. My people see me in the emperor light, I think, more than just a regular President.
53. Emperors have always had an Apprentice (highest rated show ever!) mindset. If their people aren't showing them enough respect, their FIRED!
54. American presidents should be saluted!
55. Men from outer space have asked me to be their leader, but I'm hard at work here. Plus, not a huge fan of aliens.
56. Speaking of space aliens, Rick Scott disappoints me lately. Florida Man doesn't seem to understand LOYALTY. Maybe that's not a word on his home planet. I'd feed him to the alligators if we didn't need that Senate seat so we can build our big beautiful wall.
57. You know who would be really great in Congress—Kanye West! He has the style, the attitude, the LOYALTY, and excellent taste in women too! I've been a role model for Kanye since the start. Ask him his favorite beverage and he'll tell you—Trump wines (any flavor)!
58. Kim is obviously the best looking Kardashian—which is why I listened to her about freeing that prisoner. Kris is OK but too old. Khloe better now that she's lost weight. Kourtney hasthe genetics but doesn't try. And those younger sisters—ooh la la. Wait. Did I just tweet this? I was trying to put this in my diary app called "id."
59. People have said that I could sell my sperm for millions. But I'm already a billionaire, I don't need the money. I just do it for YOU, America!
60. I do have amazing sperm. Just look at beautiful Ivanka. Great ratings. Great beauty. Total package with men falling all over her. Women, too, probably. Haven't thought about it. OK. I have thought about it a little. Who hasn't?
61. Speaking of beautiful women, the Miss America pageant has caved to cultural elites and eliminated the time honed tradition of the swimsuit competition. SAD! I hope they're ready for a bunch of flabby book-readers and science-lovers waddling around their runways. Miss Universe can thank me that we never sunk so low when I was in charge. (I pushed for naked mud-wrestling!)
62. Part of MEGA is making women beautiful again! We're sick of looking at unlipsticked lips and women in sweatpants! SAD SACKS!
63. I played college football and would have been a top NFL draft pick if it weren't for my bone spurs.
64. My First Lady and myself we support team sports in place of skip rope and hula hoop nonsense supported by older White Houses. No more "participation" trophies for every kid. Trophies are for winners. Like me.
65. You know those bookshelves that people were complaining I didn't fill with a bunch of fat hardbacks? Well, I needed that space for my many loving cups, blue ribbons, and gold medallions. I say if you can't do, read. If you can do, grab the prize like a…
66. Movies are better than books because you can really see the people instead of trying to imagine them in your head—especially the hot actresses. Some of them I know personally and they all like me and think I am a great guy. They wish they could visit this White House but I have work to do.
67. This immigration infestation is out of hand, especially all these unaccompanied kids. The Dems and the Fake Media whine. . . . . . but they don't offer any solutions! Some people are saying that Jonathan Swift has come up with a beautiful plan in his mega bestseller A Modest Proposal. Inviting him to the White House to discuss it.
68. Just fired seven snotty interns I caught laughing at horrible Internet photo doctored to make me look like a potato farmer in a skirt. I still look pretty good, actually, but let's just say no one should expect the kid who called me Senora Trump home for the holidays. He should have been nicer and more respectful to his President.
69. The potato is my favorite vegetable—so versatill! I don't know what Michelle Obama is whining about with this so-called school lunch "problem." French fries with ketchup—potato plus tomato. Those kids are getting two vegetables in one side every single day.
70. Maybe we should get KFC on the school menu—so kids can learn respect for colonels and the military early on. KFC is as American as apple pie! As my cardiologist says—an apple pie a day keeps the doctor away.
71. The Beatles claimed they were more popular than Jesus. But look at them now, mostly dead and forgotten. I, on the other hand, really am more popular than Jesus who was, by all accounts, a nice guy but a loser. I prefer my heroes not to be crucified.
72. I love the Christian believers though. Love them. They stand by their beliefs, and they vote. They are smart, too, smart enough to know a good leader when they see him on TV.
73. You know who else I like a lot? Dave Thomas. He made a great living selling burgers and chili, and he appeared in a ton of commercials promoting his product. He also used his wife as the company's logo, which I'm thinking about doing with Melania. What a great way to boost interest—which is already high!—in my steaks and deodorant line. Dave just used Wendy's face, though. He should have gone for the full body shot.
74. I also have a thing for the Morton Salt Girl (so young!) and the Sunbeam bread girl—though I usually don't go for curly hair. Natasha (or Natasha and Boris) was my first crush. What a looker!
75. A vote for Democrats in November is a vote to let MS-13 run wild in our communities, to let kids and ugly women run the country, and to tax hardworking American's Diet Coke and force them to eat kale. Democrats want anarchy, chaos, crabgrass, and more reruns of VEEP.
76. I get so busy working, either for America, planning big summit meetings, or just working out for exercise, I sometimes forget to eat. Maybe someone will grab a Fish Delight from McDonalds and I'll have that (no bun) while I talk on the phone to whoever needs to speak with the President.
77. "Mr. President" is alright as titles go, but in recognition of all the good work I'm doing, I deserve an upgrade to "Divine Ruler" or "Your Majesty" or even "The Fixer," because thats what I do—fix everything Barack Obama broke. I'm basically guaranteed to get honorary doctorates from all the Ivies too, and I think "Dr. President" has a nice ring to it. Face it—our nation was basically DOA when I showed up. Then I took those great big paddles and gave democracy the jolt of it's life.
78. For 2020 my slogan will be "KEEP AMERICA GREAT" because by 2020 I will have solved all of America's problems but then you need a good maintenance program and no one will know how to keep everything great except me.
79. What phenomenal picks I've made with Neal and Brett! Now that we've got a new and IMPROVED Supreme Court, we're going to update their look. Get rid of those stuffy black robes. I'll be donating Trump golf shirts and khakis. And cute golf skirts for the ladies on the bench.
80. Really looking forward to giving the queen her opportunity to kiss my ring or whatever women royals are supposed to do for Presidents. The English are planning a big parade to honor my arrival in their land.
81. Most guys my age are a mess—arthritis, baldness, rotting teeth, erection disfunction—but not me. My doctor says my body is basically a total repellent to disease. America, how lucky you are to have such a spry, full-haired sex god for President with all his own teeth and a harem of hotties surrounding him! It's only my bone spurs keeping me humble.
82. The true Americans (not the losers and haters) realize how humble I am. I hate to brag about my wealth or sexual prowess or high IQ. I do everything so much better than everybody else, but I keep it on the down low. As the alpha-est of alpha males, I feel a responsibility to not be too much of a blowhard.
83. Great meeting with the Queen! Lots of pomp and circumcision, but she's a good gal. And 500,000 people turned out on the streets of London to greet my arrival!! Fake news claimed they were protesters, but they'll say anything to undermine the amazing things we're accomplishing. Why didn't they mention that no American president has EVER been invited to have tea with the Queen before?
84. I photograph very well. People tell me, hey, you ALWAYS look great in pictures. But it's true, right? It's true. Every time I see my portrait, there I am. I've been famous forever, but now with the presidency, I'll be in all the history books. I'll probably get the cover.
85. While I was always an A+ student, I never loved history before, and I think its because the book writers spent so much time on people who were too stupid not to die young. Do you know how many people in our history books didn't even see their fortieth birthdays? Well, it's A LOT. Trust me. At forty, I was running a multi million dollar company and appearing on Late Night with Dave Letterman. Best thing that ever happened to that guy. He's gotten way too
gray and beardy-liberal since then.
86. When you are on TV a lot like me, well, people just automatically love you. I get it all the time—guys want to be me, ladies want to be with me. All the other politicians love me though you'd never know that from the fake news. My father loved me the best!!
87. People are saying my face should be added to Mount Rushmore. Which would be great for North Dakota because it's been proven that the Trump name on a property adds immense VALUE. Mount TRUMPmore has a nice ring to it!
88. America is too young a nation to remember the value of a powerful monarch. This country has a divine right to a ruler who will protect our borders and values. Term limits are for losers! Vote in the midterms for Law and Order and Safety for true Americans, and we can take our little love affair to the chapel, America.
89. Speaking of chapels, a great and totally underestimated part of the American landscape is Los Vegas! I love it there—the showgirls, the sizzle, the all-night buffets. It's basically me as a metropolis! In addition to the Winter White House in Florida, this country could really use a Western White House so citizens wouldn't have to travel so far to see me in all my glory. We also need to rename The Strip "The Trump." Ronald Reagan got airports and turnpikes named after him, and he didn't have my looks or brains, let alone my entertainment industry sashay!
90. So many producers have asked me to be in movies over the years….not only soft porn, but box office gold. I am the most handsome president yet and I suppose I would consider playing myself in a movie of the greatest American president who ever lived!
91. The Dems and FAKE NEWS have their panties in a twist because Vlad and I had a good meeting. Can't stand to see me winning. They keep asking what we talked about. I say, none of your damn business! I won the election. Get a life!!
92. Don't know why so-called "intelligence" thinks it's Russia. If it was Russia, then we'd know, and we don't know, do we? Baseless arrests in this stupid witch hunt need to stop RIGHT NOW.
93. Speaking of witches, where's Crooked Hillary these days? While I'm here minding the store, she's out committing hundreds of other crimes. She's not the kind of woman people keep a eye on, if you know what I mean. Time to hunt the real witches and leave good men alone!
94. Real men lead hunts not witch hunts. My sons are expert big game killers! Very manly. I'm sick of all the snowflakes and their tacky pets. Melania and I don't want animals in our house making a mess. If we want to feel close to an animal we eat a steak.
95. Look, I don't need to tweet all this. I do it because I want to be completely clear and forthcoming with the American People. Unlike the lying Dems and the Fake News and Hillary and Obama. People should know what's going through my head. And let me tell you, it's amazing how much I think about during a single day. Millions of things. Probably more things than even Einstein or that smart guy in the wheelchair that just died.
96. Listen, since we've cleared up this would/wouldn't Russia thing, I went through some of my other clips that have caused a big stir in FAKENEWSLAND. The grammar nazis should know I meant to say that time I was stuck on the bus with perverted Billy Bush, "when you're a star, they ASK you TO do it." Then I know I said "you CAN'T do anything." I meant it. I said it twice. I even mentioned my wife. Terrible audio, by the way. Possibly, probably altered.
97. Sometimes I have to stop everything I'm doing and just tell myself the truth in front of my mirror: You are handsome. You are hot shit. You are going viral every day for the good of the American people. (This is what highly effective people do. It's called an infirmation.)
98. The National Inquirer and TMZ are the only news outlets you can trust, people.
99. This is exactly why I don't like to do news conferences. The Fake News reporters ask really hard questions. And no matter how I answer they find something wrong with it. But don't worry, Your Beloved Leader is going to ride out this Ridiculous Witch Hunt because I'm innocent as a newborn babe.

Paramount Developing Remake Of 'Pet Sematary'
Stephen King is big movie business again. Chalk that up to the massive film and TV adaptation of his Dark Tower series that has industry players Ron Howard, Akiva Goldsman and Brian Grazer pushing it forward. Then there is the new version of The Stand, which Warner Bros. is developing, and possible new versions of Firestarter and Maximum Overdrive.
The latest new King project is a possible remake of the 1989 film Pet Sematary, which starred Fred Gwynne and his awful Maine accent in a film about dead pets and children coming back to life.
The original film, despite the aforementioned accent and some truly wooden acting (in particular from Star Trek: TNG's Denise Crosby) has some very effective chills. At the time the zombie genre hadn't been mined as thoroughly as it has now, and the horrific ramifications of a dead toddler being brought back to life made for some potent sights. That would probably still work ugly magic on audiences. As remake possibilities go, this one is (forgive me) ripe.
If you're not familiar with the novel and/or film, the basics are that a city family moves out to the country, but their house is near a highway. Their young son wanders into the road and is killed, but fortunately there is magical/cursed plot of ground nearby from which buried creatures — and people — will come back to life.
The LA Times says that Matthew Greenberg (writer, 1408) is about to turn in a remake script, and the studio may be looking for a 'high-level director' to helm the film. And what about the soundtrack? Will someone re-record the theme song by the Ramones, too? (I love that song.)
Now place your bets on which Stephen King movie might next get the remake treatment. I'm surprised we haven't heard about a new version of Silver Bullet or (shudder) Sleepwalkers. Also, this news caused me to notice that Lawrence Kasdan's adaptation of Dreamcatcher, which is the most batshit insane trainwreck of all the bad Stephen King films — and that's saying a lot — is now streaming on Netflix.

How to reduce sick leave
Whether above-average use of sick leave is health-related or due to a pattern of abuse, a company can actively reduce absenteeism through careful management. Employee wellness programmes can promote better health and management of chronic conditions, and also limit the dubious one-off absences that may have nothing to do with sickness. In the UK, it's reported that there are over 130 million days of sickness absence each year which is thought to cost the economy £100 billion annually.
Keeping tabs on sick leave
A Human Resources Management System (HRMS) can make information about absences available to managers, so it's easier to identify possible patterns of abuse and address them with employees. Absenteeism is also an area where improvements in employee engagement can reduce company expenses. It estimated that up to two thirds of unscheduled absences were for other reasons, such as family issues, personal needs, entitlement mentality, and work-related stress.
Organisations with low morale or low engagement are more likely to experience higher unscheduled absence rates (2.7%) than those with high morale or high levels of engagement (2%). Higher levels of engagement help mitigate the effects of stress.
Benefits of wellness programmes
The government recently announced the Health and Work Service, which aims to support employees dealing with health problems by providing non-compulsory health assessments, occupational health facilities and possible free training if the employer is no longer fit for their role.
It's designed to pave the way for employees to return to work as soon as possible, rather than leaving them to become a long-term health statistic. Wellness programmes have definite benefits, if they are implemented in an organisation.
Keep information up to date
To fight against a pattern of sick leave abuse, you'll need the right information, supplied to both managers and employees. To start with, employers need to have a clear absence policy that is readily accessible to all employees, along with the employee handbook. Going through absence rules and processes should be part of the induction process. Technology can be very helpful in this area:In order to confidently talk to or discipline employees who have attendance problems, it is not enough to have a clearly written policy.
Managers also need information that proves possible abuse or above normal patterns of sick leave. Sick leave statistics are needed at the individual employee level and the departmental or company level. Here again, an HRMS solution can identify patterns of abuse and also help report absenteeism results to employees and their managers.
Employer responsibilities
On a positive note, the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics shows that the average number of days lost to sickness absence has dropped down to nearly 40 per cent since 1993. This shows that employers are getting better at managing sickness absence and staff are a lot less inclined to take a 'sickie'.
However, the employer must also take responsibility for the welfare of their workers. Encourage a good work-life balance and don't expect staff to regularly work late under stressful conditions as you don't want them to suffer from burnout.A happy workforce is generally a healthy workforce, so looking after employees and their welfare is a sure fire way of keeping sickness absences down to a minimum.
Adopting a solid, clear policy that is properly communicated to staff should help you all avoid unnecessary days lost to ill-health, and support anyone in need of guidance when dealing with people suffering from accidents and illnesses.

One of the things we all want to know more about is how Bitcoin is faring in various countries around the world. With most of the Bitcoin-related efforts focusing on the US and Canada, the rest of the world seems to be neglected at times. But that doesn't mean Bitcoin isn't thriving around the world, as a recent interim survey report from BitcoinsInIreland tells us.

Bitcoin Around The World: Number Crunching
Do keep in mind this is just an interim report, as the final results of the survey conducted by BitcoinsInIreland will be published in June 2015. However, the numbers we have received so far tell us a very interesting story regarding Bitcoin in general. With over 150 participants — located in 51 different countries — it is a bit early to tell whether or not these numbers will hold up, but there is a strong indication towards certain trends.
One of the things that might pique your interest is the general age and sex of Bitcoin users in 2015. Now that Bitcoin has evolved from an "infantile idea" into "a force to be reckoned with," the average Bitcoin user is in their late twenties to early forties.
Even though all of us would like to see more women involved in Bitcoin the survey reports that just 11% of Bitcoin users are female. According to Jamie McCormick, Founder of BitcoinsInIreland, that number is low, but it could be worse,
"If you think that figure is low, it would be worse if I hadn't ran several advertising campaigns aimed at female bitcoin users to promote the survey. I don't see any particular reason women aren't as represented, but if you look at tech, development and finance industries that I guess are feeders into bitcoin, these are all pretty male dominated too."
Desktop wallets still seem to be more popular than their mobile and online counterparts. It should come as no surprise that online wallets aren't that popular to begin with, as you are completely relying on a third party service to store your funds. On the other hand, desktop wallets tend to be more susceptible to hackers.
What may come as a surprise, however, is the fact that most of the bitcoin being lost comes from hacked exchanges. 2015 Has not been a good year for exchanges so far, which seems to confirm the noticeable trend in the interim survey report.
One of the survey questions is about which gambling sites people use the most. Dice games appear to be the clear winner in this area so far, with over twice the number of votes compared to casino and card game websites. Dice gaming websites seem to be spending more of its advertising budget on Bitcoin websites and forums.
The Idea Behind This Survey
Now that we have talked a bit about the numbers to be found in the interim Bitcoin survey report, it's time to dig deeper into the idea behind conducting such a project. Bitcoinist got in touch with Jamie McCormick to ask him about the survey, and whether he had any personal remarks to add to his interim report.
"The survey came out of a lot of conversations, such as the Bitcoin Dublin meetup, where I realised that there was nothing like an "average" bitcoin user. It's also quite a lot older than I imagined, coming from the games industry. There's a diverse range of people coming from different industries into bitcoin – tech, finance, software development, counter-culture, general geeks, and a few people who want to say f*ck the system. I spent the last few years – before I professionally entered in the bitcoin space – researching the games industry here in Ireland, which struggled getting any traction as policy makers had no intel on it. But having data on where it is and what it consisted of, and what people in the local industry did, helped policy makers, academics, and people looking for a career in the industry."
After successfully conducting that research McCormick decided to put his knowledge and experience to good use in the field of Bitcoin. While there are similar surveys out there that are focused on individual states, McCormick saw a need to survey Bitcoin usage on an international scale.
In fact, the Bitcoin survey issued by BitcoinsInIreland is being translated into Spanish and German in order to reach a wider audience. All of the findings will be published freely for the Bitcoin community to gain a bigger understanding Bitcoin usage around the world.
"One of the biggest issues companies have is a complete lack of primary research. So hopefully the #BitcoinSurvey will go at least a little of the way towards filling that information gap, as I doubt they're alone!" – Jamie McCormick

The news outlet RT has been briefly blocked from making news shares or posts on Facebook.
The block was initiated while the Russian-owned, English language news outlet had a Facebook livestream of President Barack Obama's final press conference. The block was supposed to stand until the 21st of January at 22:35 Moscow time, however, it was lifted a day later. During this time, RT was permitted to post text but could not share their own news content in the form of stories, videos or livestreams.
The block may have come as a result of Facebook registering the stream of Obama's press conference as being a copyright violation. This is due to the fact that many different news sources stream the same footage and camera angles.
Mainstream media outlets CNN, NBC and CBS similarly had livestreams of the press conference on their respective Facebook pages with no sanction received. While the cause of the sanction to RT is not definitely known, it is worthwhile to note Facebook's history of suspending pages with conservative or libertarian leanings. In 2016, the pages Occupy Democrats Logic and Being Libertarian were both suspended over what were seen by many news outlets as dubious grounds.
RT has been reporting with a generally pro-Trump angle on stories, likely due to the fact of Trump's willingness to have good relations with Russia and the Russian government's ownership of RT. One might suspect that RT's block may have been due to these facts, especially since the American Left have shown a recent hawkishness towards Russia in light of Trump's more optimistic attitude on US-Russia relations. The precise reason remains unknown as of yet.

By Hal Fox, Editor
Harold Aspden,
Power From Magnetism: Over-Unity Motor Design,
Energy Science Report No. 9, c1996
35 pages, 93 references, Illustrated, ISBN 0 85056 024 1,
Sabberton Publications, P.O. Box 35, Southampton SO16 7RB,
Fax 011-44-1703-769-830.
The basic concept of the design of a new type of motor is introduced by Dr. Harold Aspden in these three figures reproduced from the author's book. Here is the explanation: Fig. 1 illustrates a horseshoe magnet attracting a bar of soft iron (meaning that the iron would not make a permanent magnet). As anyone who has played with magnets knows, the iron bar will be attracted to the horseshoe magnet. If, as shown in Fig. 1, there is a winding on the bar with current flowing as depicted, then the bar electromagnet will be more strongly attracted to the horseshoe magnet.
Alternatively, as shown in Fig. 2, if the current through the coil on the bar is reversed, the magnetic polarities are reversed and the bar is repelled from the permanent magnet. Fig. 3 shows that one could apply alternating current and with some proper sliding bearings could make a reciprocating motor. The power provided to the motion of the reciprocating bar stems from the electrical energy provided to the coil wound around the bar.
There is energy stored in the air gap between the permanent magnet and the bar electromagnet. That energy from the air gap is used to create a back EMF in half of the cycle. The key is to do something so that one uses the energy of pulling the magnets together, and also the energy stored in the air gap without that energy going to create a back EMF. Aspden shows how that can be done by winding a coil around the entire room in which the experiment is running: "...that winding around the room is all embracing and hardly any flux escapes as a linking flux through that winding. There is negligible back EMF induced as it [the winding] accepts the current which breaks the pull between the magnet and the soft iron. Therefore, one has the situation where power can be generated from the magnetic reluctance action as the poles come together but we input no inductive power to weaken that attraction and so allow the poles to separate to reset them for the next action cycle. This is the recipe for 'over-unity' operation." Fig. 4 (taken from figure 9 of Aspden's book) illustrates how unconventional a motor appears when this outside winding is place around the entire motor assembly. Working with a grant from the U.K government, Dr. Aspden has designed a rotary version of his concept and the motor works! The entire motor is quite unconventional in its design features as is well explained Part I of Aspden's report. Part II of this short book provides further discussion of the ASPDEN Motor (Asymmetric Shaded-Pole Dynamo-Electric Negentropy Motor). Aspden probably had fun dreaming up that acronym.
Part III of this book is the real technical meat of Aspden's work. Here he explains the technical details of the storage of magnetic energy and how one can design a motor to tap back this energy from the aether. If superconductive windings are used, then the heat lost through the current-resistance effect (the I2R loss) is minimized. Under such designs with sufficiently high magnetic fields, it is theoretically possible to get five times as much energy out as input to a device, according to Aspden.
Included in this book is the patent cover page and the claims of Harold Aspden's U.S. Patent 4,975,608, issued December 4, 1990, and titled: "Switched Reluctance Motor With Full Accommutation". This patent, with further patent-pending improvements, may well be the long-sought method to produce an over-unity motor. If you are one of the many persons working with electromagnetic motors, this book should be obtained and studied.
The book is available for $25 (if check drawn on U.S. bank) payable to Harold Aspden, from Sabberton Publications, P.O. Box 35, Southampton SO16 7RB, England.

Welcome to 2008. I put a few pictures from the last part of 2007 up already, and now it's time to fill out last year with some pictures from the holiday season.
We like to make the house look festive, without going overboard. (Paul might not entirely agree with Anne on the last part of that sentance.) We put out the Christmas placemats and the Waechtersbach Christmas Tree dish set out on the table.
We also have a few other decorations out and about: Stockings by the woodstove (which we don't usually light; no fire hazard). Some Christmas figurines - I'm particularly fond of the Ace Hardware Santa (I can just see Paul in a number of years looking like that). My knitting in a Christmas bag. Christmas pillows. Windowsill decorations. And don't forget our miniature Christmas trees. We have a few other decorations splashed about the house, like my Smiley Face Pot Holders in the kitchen.
On a side note, we had Ted & Chuchang for Christmas this year. I'll share with you the shirts that I made for them. Yes, you will notice each has a theme.
Not much else to say on the home front at this point. So let's move on to Christmas with both sides of the family.

Men Are Equal Parents and the News is Catching On
This week, two different national publications published stories about companies making products for dads: the first was in the Wall Street Journal and the second was in Slate. Both of the articles talk about the new market of bags and accessories designed for hands-on dads. As Ruth Graham wrote for Slate, "We live in a world in which dads are often said to be 'babysitting' their own children, and headlines and advertisements default to addressing 'moms' on kid-related topics. The default aesthetic for baby care still tilts toward pastels and florals." As Corinne Ramey notes, the fact that baby care still skews predominantly toward women is leading to "an untapped market—men. New men. Modern men. Men who wipe babies' butts. Men who definitely don't want floral prints."
This is why we believe firmly in our vision for Otter Pass. We're excited to be making great accessories for dads. The dads we know are not babysitters, they are equal partners in parenting their children. They've known how to change a diaper and soothe a fussy baby since day one. They researched ethical adoption and are conversant on attachment therapy strategies. They care about their kids' educations, after-school activities, friend drama, and emotional development. They're teaching their kids how to ride a bike and handling science fair projects, making dinner and doing dishes, giving baths and reading books.
In short, they are equal parents. And national news organizations are catching on to this truth.
There are other indicators that the conversation is tilting away from moms to include dads: The online magazine Fatherly, which launched in 2015, has quickly become a staple for dads invested in their kids' lives, bringing in a revenue of $5.2 million in their first year alone. The New York Times changed the name of their popular parenting blog from "Motherlode" to "Well Family" in 2016 to be more inclusive of dads. As they explained it, "Over the past few years, our vision of what it means to be a family has changed, and it has also become clear that the name Motherlode is more than a little at odds with the larger conversation." Even just a quick glance at other major news organizations' parenting sections, like the Washington Post, Buzzfeed, and Huffington Post, shows they are featuring more and more articles geared toward dads. The editor of Buzzfeed's parenting column is a father who wrote a book on parenting toddlers.
Men who are equal partners and equal parents are slowly becoming a normal part of the national audience.
Though Otter Pass has a different vibe than the hypermasculine trend of some of the baby gear featured in the Wall Street Journal and Slate this week, we're still cheering these other companies on. We think there's plenty of room for a variety of companies geared toward giving dads the tools they need to do their job well. After all, we all share the same goal--to help dads connect well with their kids.
Otter Pass is happy to be leading the market of products for dads who have older kids as well as babies, who want bags they can use at work and at home, and who want to stay organized and ready for whatever life brings for years to come.
We're very glad to see several publications realizing the truth: dads are capable, equal parents who are intentional, thoughtful, and engaged.
At Otter Pass, that's something we've known for awhile. That's why we started our company, and why we remain excited about this growing market. At Otter Pass, good dads are always in style.

Summers End with Falls Arrival
Here we are finishing off Summer with birthday celebrations and the beginning of Fall. I'm so happy the see the arrival of Fall this weekend but with mixed emotions. My oldest granddaughter has began her last year of High School and her younger sister is in Jr. High, rapidly following behind her. I'm so proud of them both as they are growing up to be lovely young woman with so much potential. Hard to believe another year has flown on by. Such precious memories I hold in my heart of these sweet girls that I'm so proud of. This time next year the oldest will be already off to college............. oh my......
I'm loving the cooler weather and plan on digging out the Harvest and Halloween decorations this weekend so until then I will leave you with a bit of Halloween fun with a Tag I recently made. Wishing you a great weekend where ever you are and whatever you do.........

Anything that can cut chores is welcome. And one of those gotta-do-it chores is keeping the water buckets clean. EquiFit, Inc. has come to the rescue.
We're talking about cleaning out the slime that forms inside the bucket every day. Some may be algae but most of it is bacterial slime from the food particles your horse leaves in the water when he drinks.
Eventually, the slime takes a firm hold on the bucket and becomes difficult to remove. As it does, the bucket takes on an unpleasant taste and needs to be replaced.
Silver To The Rescue.
Silver has been known since ancient times to have antimicrobial properties. Today, silver is used for its ability to kill organisms on contact. Silver catheters and implantable medical devices cut the risk of infections. Silver is used in topical disinfection solutions without the risk of any bacterial resistance developing. it's the active ingredient in the burn cream Silvadene and appears in a variety of wound dressing pads.
EquiFit Inc.(http://www.equifit.net/, 877-437-8434) has a bucket called the AgSilver CleanBucket ($29.95). The durable buckets are all black and made of a high-density plastic polyetheylene blend impregnated with ionic silver.
EquiFit claims that horses prefer the taste of the water. We tested this with six horses, AgSilver CleanBucket hung side by side with the horse's regular bucket. Two horses that had new (less than two months old) plastic buckets had no preference, but the four with older buckets showed a clear preference for the CleanBucket.
Bottom Line.
they're more expensive than a similar plastic water bucket, but the choice is obvious. Both horses and owners give it a big thumbs up.

This upcoming version (number four) was inspired by a series of 1950's plastic candy containers with goggle-clad witches riding space-age vehicles. Here's an example of these vintage pieces from the amazing collection of flickr member ghostofhalloweenpast:
With inspiration like that, it's hard not to have fun creating this space-age imagery, while listening to some moog and theremin, with spacey retro lounge music like Space Capades: Ultra Lounge 3, or instrumental rock like Telstar by The Tornadoes, or the darker side of eerie electronic experimental music with Louis and Bebe Barron's Forbidden Planet soundtrack... to name a few.
And speaking of music, that seems like a perfect segue-way to mention Bindegrim radio, which is now broadcasting on a DIY internet broadcaster station that I've enjoyed now for many years called Live365, and is featuring alot of the vintage Halloween music I've been discovering over the past many years.
Currently the Bindlegrim station is in construction-development mode, so the playlist may seem a little limited at this time, but I think audio folks will enjoy what is currently available. I have started off with a collection of Halloween-themed tunes from the 1920's to the 1950's, and, in future, plan to expand the music from those years as well as into larger time-spans reaching into the 1960's and beyond. In the meantime, hope you enjoy the humble musical beginnings, and feedback is always welcome.
