To the expectant students awaiting their first admissions decision this month,
We have some bad news. As you hear back from your early action and early decision colleges, the vast majority of you will not be accepted.
It's easy to forget just how competitive these schools are. There's a reason you applied early to a "reach" school - you wanted to see whether you had a shot, even though the chances were slim. And as a result, the thing that we knew was coming - a rejection or a deferral - is going to hit your inbox or mailbox soon.
So why are we bumming you out a little early? To help you keep perspective. We want you to remember that college admissions is a marathon and not a sprint. You're going to hear back from many more schools, and just because the first school doesn't go your way does not mean it's time to panic.
When the dust clears in April and you hear back from the rest of your colleges, you will still have several excellent options where you can be happy and successful. So as the bad news rolls in, try to remember that it's all part of the process.
We would love to hear from you once you're ready to share the news.
Just to fill you and your family in -- here are some possible reasons why schools deferred you:
Reason 1. They had too many strong applicants in your major.
Reason 2. They had too many strong applicants from southern California.
Reason 3. They had too many strong applicants who were white males.
Reason 4. They had too many strong applicants from your high school.
Obviously, those things above are out of your control. Here are the possible reasons that are in your control:
Reason 5. They were worried about a particular component of your application.
What to do: You should ask whether there's anything you can send them to help confirm your application. This might be an additional letter of recommendation, evidence of a strong first semester, additional extracurricular achievements and awards, etc.
Reason 6. They wanted to see your interview report before deciding on you.
What to do: Get an interview for the regular decision process!
Obviously, it's not good to be deferred, but in this uncertain economic environment with different family situations, schools will take plenty of people off the "deferred" list.
Stay positive. We can get through this!

Last night Cape Town Fashion Week kicked off with a glamorous extravanganza at City Hall in Cape Town. The only way to describe this fashion show would be to call it fabulous, amazing and breathtakingly beautiful.
KluK CGDT called their collection "Bedtime Stories" and they brought all the Disney characters to life in a high fashion couture way. The fashion were classic, conservative yet elegant and stylish with interesting embroidery, flowy fabrics, chiffons, bright colours and lots of layering.
The hair and makeup were vintage with daring dark lips which are very trendy at the moment.

The Four Rules of Success for a Prosperous Soul: Part 2
A few weeks ago, I started a discussion on the four rules of success for a Prosperous Soul. God used these "steps" to bring me out of a period of deadness of heart and change my life.
Here is a brief recap of the first two rules:
Rule Number 1: If You Can't Dream It, You Can't Have It
This rule has to do with burnout, which occurs when we run our lives beyond the extent of our abilities until we come to a place of complete and utter exhaustion. We were not designed to live that way. When we are exhausted at that level, our capacity to dream begins to turn off and shut down.
The biblical solution for rule number 1 is to rest on a weekly basis. God calls it keeping the Sabbath. Even He rested after creating the planet. Rule number 1 of success is to recognize our engineering—that we were designed to rest.
If you're burned out, the solution is to introduce rest. When you rest regularly, you are presenting yourself to the Lord like an offering—you are making a sacrifice of praise.
If you can't dream, something must be broken. Introduce rest, and watch God wake up your creativity.
Rule Number 2: The Long Arm of Reality
Once we start resting and our capacity wakes up to imagine again, God drops creativity, inspiration, and revelation into our minds and hearts. That wakes us up, and we start having all these ideas. I should do Facebook Lives! I should write a book! I should create an ecourse!
The long arm of reality allows us to reach out, grab the huge idea we have for the future, and pull it back into today. The idea breaks up into little pieces called tasks, and that is what we steward every day. We begin to poke at those tasks, arrange them in order, and work with them.
Even if you inch forward only a little bit every day, you will still have a dramatic impact on your surroundings. Glaciers aren't known for their speed, but they scour and shape the terrain. They move entire hillsides.
Rule Number 3: Timing
Timing is God's job. Rules number 1 and 2 are our job; they are where stewardship happens, but rule number 3 is what God does. Timing rests with Him. He tells us when a door opens. He shows us favor and connects us to those unbelievable opportunities that change our lives and the lives of the people around us.
I believe amazing opportunities come up all the time, but because we're unprepared—because we aren't doing numbers 1 and 2—we don't have the capacity even to recognize when an opportunity comes.
With God the question is never if but when. When is He going to help you? When is He going to deliver you? He is going to provide, identify, protect, and build you up, because He is a good Father and He's watching over you. It's just a matter of timing.
How All of This Works
When you start dreaming because of rest, you can employ the long arm of reality to reach out into that crazy future idea and drag it back into today, turning it into simple tasks you can steward. It's easy. You can do this. Then as you faithfully steward your big idea, God will bring timing into your life.
Next time I'm going to talk about rule number 4: ensue. In the meanwhile, God bless your Prosperous Soul.

Opening Prayer/Worship
Theme: Connecting with God
Topic: Covenant-keeping God
Reading: Jeremiah 31:31-34
The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah. 32It will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt—a covenant that they broke, though I was their husband,* says the Lord. 33But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34No longer shall they teach one another, or say to each other, 'Know the Lord', for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, says the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and remember their sin no more.
If we are to be connected with God, we must believe that He is able to save and deliver all who put their trust in Him. He is the covenant-keeping God. Whatever He says He will do, He will surely do. He has never failed, and He will never fail. In today's study, we will turn our focus to the fact that God Himself invited all to come to Him through His Son, Jesus Christ; that we may have life and have it more abundantly. The Scripture is filled with the promises of God to His people and not in one of them did He fail. His ultimate promise to His people is Christ- who is both the Priest and Sacrifice; the atonement for the sin of the world. God will fulfill all His promises to us in Christ- love, forgiveness, acceptance, healing, deliverance, prosperity and lots more; but the question is: will we seek Him?
1. Differentiate between the old and new covenants.
Jeremiah 31:31-33
The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah. 32It will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt—a covenant that they broke, though I was their husband,* says the Lord. 33But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Jeremiah 32:38-40
They shall be my people, and I will be their God. 39I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me for all time, for their own good and the good of their children after them. 40I will make an everlasting covenant with them, never to draw back from doing good to them; and I will put the fear of me in their hearts, so that they may not turn from me.
Hebrews 8:1-7, 13
Now the main point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, 2a minister in the sanctuary and the true tent* that the Lord, and not any mortal, has set up. 3For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; hence it is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer. 4Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer gifts according to the law. 5They offer worship in a sanctuary that is a sketch and shadow of the heavenly one; for Moses, when he was about to erect the tent,* was warned, 'See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain.' 6But Jesus* has now obtained a more excellent ministry, and to that degree he is the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted through better promises. 7For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need to look for a second one. 13In speaking of 'a new covenant', he has made the first one obsolete. And what is obsolete and growing old will soon disappear.
Hebrews 10:8-18
When he said above, 'You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt-offerings and sin-offerings' (these are offered according to the law), 9then he added, 'See, I have come to do your will.' He abolishes the first in order to establish the second. 10And it is by God's will* that we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 And every priest stands day after day at his service, offering again and again the same sacrifices that can never take away sins. 12But when Christ* had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, 'he sat down at the right hand of God', 13and since then has been waiting 'until his enemies would be made a footstool for his feet.' 14For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. 15And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying, 16 'This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord:
I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds', 17he also adds, 'I will remember* their sins and their lawless deeds no more.' 18Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.
I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds', 17he also adds, 'I will remember* their sins and their lawless deeds no more.' 18Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.
2. What should be our attitude towards what God has done for us in Christ?
2 Corinthians 5:11-21
Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we try to persuade others; but we ourselves are well known to God, and I hope that we are also well known to your consciences. 12We are not commending ourselves to you again, but giving you an opportunity to boast about us, so that you may be able to answer those who boast in outward appearance and not in the heart. 13For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. 14For the love of Christ urges us on, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died. 15And he died for all, so that those who live might live no longer for themselves, but for him who died and was raised for them. 16 From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view;* even though we once knew Christ from a human point of view,* we know him no longer in that way. 17So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new! 18All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation; 19that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself,* not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us. 20So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us; we entreat you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
2 Corinthians 6:1-22
As we work together with him,* we urge you also not to accept the grace of God in vain. 2For he says, 'At an acceptable time I have listened to you, and on a day of salvation I have helped you.' See, now is the acceptable time; see, now is the day of salvation!
Hebrews 10:19-39
Therefore, my friends,* since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, 20by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain (that is, through his flesh), 21and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful. 24And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, 25not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching. 26 For if we wilfully persist in sin after having received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27but a fearful prospect of judgement, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. 28Anyone who has violated the law of Moses dies without mercy 'on the testimony of two or three witnesses.' 29How much worse punishment do you think will be deserved by those who have spurned the Son of God, profaned the blood of the covenant by which they were sanctified, and outraged the Spirit of grace? 30For we know the one who said, 'Vengeance is mine, I will repay.' And again, 'The Lord will judge his people.' 31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. 32 But recall those earlier days when, after you had been enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings, 33sometimes being publicly exposed to abuse and persecution, and sometimes being partners with those so treated. 34For you had compassion for those who were in prison, and you cheerfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you yourselves possessed something better and more lasting. 35Do not, therefore, abandon that confidence of yours; it brings a great reward. 36For you need endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised. 37For yet 'in a very little while, the one who is coming will come and will not delay; 38 but my righteous one will live by faith. My soul takes no pleasure in anyone who shrinks back.' 39But we are not among those who shrink back and so are lost, but among those who have faith and so are saved.
God loves everyone immensely that He sent His Son to die for all. Let us rejoice always knowing that our sins are forgiven and that we are accepted and greatly loved by Him all the time.
Closing Prayer
Thank you Lord for setting me free from sin and sorrow. Give me the grace to love you more and more all the days of my life through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

LONDON — Black belt Russian President Vladimir Putin locked horns with British leader David Cameron over Syria and human rights during a day of judo diplomacy at the Olympics today at a time when relations between their two nations are strained.
Cameron pushed the former KGB spy, to take a tougher line on Syria, Russia's firmest foothold in the Middle East, and stop blocking Western-backed resolutions aimed at stepping up pressure on President Bashar al-Assad.
He was also expected to raise concerns about what Putin critics see as an intensifying Kremlin campaign to silence dissent and discredit Russia's opposition movement.
Cameron hosted Putin, the honorary president of the International Judo Federation, at Downing Street and took him to an Olympic arena to watch judo finals together.
A one-time judo champion in his native city of St Petersburg, then called Leningrad, Putin is likely to be at his combative best during his first visit to Britain in nine years.
For the Kremlin leader, who revels in his hard-man image, the sight of judokas body-slamming each other on the Olympic mat offered a powerful backdrop to his talks with Cameron.
Russia has faced growing Western criticism of its position on Syria, with the United States and Britain demanding Moscow drop its support for Assad.
Western powers believe that ousting Assad is the only way to end the bloodshed in Syria. Russia, on the other hand, provides arms to Damascus and has blocked three Western resolutions calling to increase pressure on Assad. (Reuters)

IDC ANZ predictions for 2012
Received this today from IDC. Do you agree?
The following represent the top 10 key ANZ Infrastructure predictions from IDC for 2012. IDC believes these trends will have the biggest commercial impact on the ANZ ICT infrastructure market:
1. Android Smartphones Will Take Over Apple iOS in 2012
2012 will set the stage for an intense client OS battle for smartphones.
2. Apple iPad Will Maintain Its Dominance in the Media Tablets Market
Apple will maintain its dominance in the media tablets market in 2012 despite Android growing at a faster rate of 36.2% year-over-year (YOY) with iOS tailing at 8.8% YOY growth.
3. Windows 8 Will Help the PC Market Stay Resilient in 2012 and Beyond
The release of Windows 8 expected in 2H 2012 will set in motion the extension of personal computing beyond conventional platforms and form factors while also fuelling enterprise mobility.
4. 2012 Will Be the Year Channel Partners Take Managed Print Services to the SMB Market
Channel partners will increase the penetration of Managed Print Service (MPS) in small and medium-sized businesses (SMB) in 2012. IDC expects managed print services (MPS) revenue to increase by 15% in 2012.
5. Client Virtualisation to broaden to mobile virtualisation as a result of BYOD and Consumerisation of IT
IDC believes in 2012, corporate users will introduce more consumer mobile device types than IT could effectively manage.
6. 2012 is the year mobility will come of age in Australia.
Mobility will be at the top of the CIO priority list in 2012, and it can be either in the form of application requirements or hardware device strategies in the workspace. IDC expects commercial media tablets adoption in Australia to rise to over 14.5% of total shipments by 2013.
7. Opportunities in the mining sector for "high performance computing (HPC) in the cloud" will accelerate in 2012.
IDC believes there will be an accelerated deployment of HPC in the cloud by mining and oil and gas organisations in 2012.
8. Server Platform Decisions to Dominate in 2012
IDC believes organisations will increasingly focus on evaluating server platform opportunities for their workloads with a view to minimising costly islands of technology and focusing instead on scalability and reliability.
9. Data Variety Will Become a Manageable Entity Ushering in a New Set of Decision Platforms for Organisations
IDC expects a newer wave of platforms to emerge - both hardware and software - to address the Big Data opportunity.
10. 2012 will be the year enterprises automate their environments en mass.
During 2010-2014, IT employment, now at 35 million, will grow by a factor of 1.3 worldwide. This is a constraint in an industry that will grow by a factor of 1.1 by spending but by more than 2 by devices managed, 5 by information created, and 8 by networked interactions between customers.

This stuff is amazing. I'm floored at how good my skin looks on my hand. It hasn't been this smooth in more than 8 years. So happy" .
M.H. From Lincoln NE:
" Very good product! It will help many people with eczema and skin trouble/irritations. Much better product than what's on the local pharmaceutical drug store shelves currently. Thank you! "
V. From Nebraska
"I have severe dyshidrotic eczema on my hands mostly… Even more specifically on my right thumb. Its been flared up for over 2 years with no sign of going away. This is one of the first products I've found that really seemed to help. It stops itching as soon as I apply the cream. If I use it once an hour for every hour I'm awake, I find some relief. However, it has not made my eczema dissipate any… Which is really a bummer. Overall, it is very likely that I would buy this from the store on a regular basis".
S.C. from Richmond VA
"My feet were really in bad shape, i truly believe this product helped. I think the product work extremely well on calming the affected area down ".
B.H. from Mechanicsville VA:

Oppn parties decide to meet on June 22 to discuss presidential nominee
| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
New Delhi [India], June 20 (ANI): The opposition Congress and the Communist Party of India (CPI) have decided to meet on June 22 to discuss the Centre's decision on presidential nominee Ram Nath Kovind. "We don't want to talk about his (Kovind's) personality but will talk on merit. This is true that he is a hardcore BJP and we were expecting someone neutral. On June 22, we are having a meeting under the leadership of Sonia Gandhi and then we will discuss whether to support or oppose this," Senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad told ANI. Meanwhile, CPI leader D. Raja said they will decide collectively about their future course of discussion. "We are discussing within our party and with other parties informally. All the parties in the opposition are likely to meet on June 22. We will decide collectively about what should be our future course of discussion," he added. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah had announced the name of Kovind as NDA's consensus candidate for the post of Indian President. Kovind before leaving for New Delhi yesterday met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and thanked the people of Bihar for their support. Following the announcement, Prime Minister Modi reached out to Congress president Sonia Gandhi and former prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh to seek the grand old party's support for Kovind. Prime Minister Modi also spoke to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister E. Palaniswamy over NDA's presidential candidate pick. The Prime Minister said that Kovind will make an exceptional President and continue to be a strong voice for the poor, downtrodden and marginalised. However, the decision did not go down well with some of the political parties with Congress alleging that the announcement was made without taking the grand old party into confidence while BJP's ally Shev Sena termed it a political move to lure vote bank. Joining the critics of NDA's Presidential nominee, Shiv Sena said it would not extend its support if the Centre is eyeing a vote bank by nominating a Dalit face for the upcoming President polls. "If someone is trying to make a Dalit a President with the purpose of gaining a vote bank then we are not with them, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray said. Meanwhile, Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee didn't seem happy with the Kovind's candidature. She said that someone of the stature of President Pranab Mukherjee or even External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj or BJP veteran L.K. Advani may have been made the candidate. The decision, however, was welcomed by some of the political leaders including Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao. Nitish Kumar expressed his happiness that the Bihar Governor would be the NDA's candidate for the President elections. He, however, said a detailed discussion would be held on the matter within the JD (U). Kovind belongs to the Dalit community Koli and had worked extensively in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar and also has the backing of BJP's ideological parent, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh(RSS). A lawyer by profession, Kovind had also been BJP Scheduled Caste Morcha chief (1998-2002) and president of the All-India Koli Samaj. The election for the next President of India is to be held on July 17 as President Pranab Mukherjee will demit the office on July 24. The Election Commission of India (ECI) issued the notification in this regard and the process of the nomination has started that will continue till June 28. (ANI)

Has the IRS questioned something on your tax return? Ignoring it is not the proper course of action. Learn the do's and don'ts of IRS correspondence.

According to the IRS, nearly one million taxpayers who failed to file a return for 2013 are in danger of losing refunds. Tax law provides a three-year period to claim a refund when no return is filed. That means you'll have to file a tax return for 2013 no later than this year's April tax deadline – April 18 – or the chance to claim the refund is gone for good.

Can't finish your federal income tax return by the April 18 deadline? There's still time to get an automatic six-month extension.
There are four ways to obtain an extension:
1. File a paper copy of Form 4868 with the IRS and enclose your payment of estimated tax due.
2. File for an extension electronically using the IRS e-file system on your computer.
3. Using IRS Direct Pay, you can pay all or part of your estimated income tax due and indicate the payment is for an extension.
4. Have your tax preparer e-file for an extension on your behalf.
Remember that even if you file for an extension, you are still required to pay any taxes you owe by the April 18 filing deadline. An extension gives you more time to file your tax return, but not more time to pay the taxes you owe. You will be charged interest on any taxes you owe and do not pay by the filing deadline. If you are unable to pay on time, contact the IRS to set up a payment agreement.
Special extension rules apply to members of the military serving in combat zones and to certain others who live outside the U.S. Give us a call at (518) 798-3330 so we can discuss whether or not an extension is right for your situation.

Remember back to your highschool days and the memory of being assigned the task of writing a 30 web page time period paper in certainly one of your lessons. Vision Statement: This is a brief assertion that states the long run description, function and objective of the business; it comes after the business name. By performing the actions dictated within the enterprise plan, the entrepreneur is ready to keep on monitor. Anyone who really wants to change into a success at any Endeavor must plan the steps to achieve his goal. The business plan have to be developed in the course of the student's tenure on the college.
Handling Objection: As an entrepreneur, you need to all the time expect some objections to what you are promoting proposal generally, either from the product angle to the order or mode of presentation to the marking idea. Whether you are making use of for a small enterprise mortgage or pitching your product concept to a enterprise capitalist, a business plan is a necessity. About your small business – This is often called the administration plan or operations plan.
Finance needs to be written in such a way that a lender can see simply precisely what the business is about, the cost of arrange, the working costs and the break even points.

It additionally supplies the fundamental parts crucial for the company to start enterprise.

Stop the floods, or give the water somewhere to go?
Now the weather has warmed up, it's hard to believe we were being battered by Storm Doris a few short weeks ago. And yet it seems that severe winter storms are set to become the norm.
Looking back to the winter before last, the floods in parts of the UK in 2015/16 were "the most extreme on record" according to Terry Marsh, lead author of a study by the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology.
The rivers Eden, Tyne and Lune in Appleby in Cumbria, in Newcastle and in Lancaster, saw record peaks of around 1,700 cubic metres per second.
Mr Marsh said that, "The associated flooding was both extensive and repetitive, and total river outflows from Great Britain following the passage of Storm Desmond in December exceeded the previous maximum by a substantial margin".
So in our line of work, flood risk is something that we're going to need to consider more and more. Because unless we put in adequate prevention measures in new and existing buildings, more and more people are going to suffer flooding in their homes and businesses.
Often the focus is on keeping the water out. Temporary flood defences from gates that slide over doors and windows, to pop-up flood barriers and even sandbags can all help, but they're not fool proof and you have to know the flood is on its way.
We need more innovation in this area and often there is benefit in looking to other countries for ideas and inspiration. With such a flat country, the Dutch have had to be masters at flood defences, from man made sand bars to amphibious houses and buildings on stilts, and some of their ideas are starting to be developed in the UK, but we need more.
The amphibious house idea has made its way over here – with British firm of architects BACA having built a floating house on an island in the Thames at Marlow more than three years ago.
The ground around the house was excavated and the buoyant concrete base of the house is like the hull of the ship, floating up when flooding occurs. Four fixed steel posts keep the house in place as it rises up, and it can go up to 2.5 metres above its base level.
Generally though, other than a handful of projects, we are not doing much in the UK to create homes that can tolerate floods. And given that we love to build homes on flood plains in this country, that seems a little short-sighted.
Why aren't we building homes that can withstand flooding?
There's a lot we can do to improve designs to help people cope better with inevitable flooding. We know that we can minimise damage by using low permeable building materials, high electric points and flood resilient materials.
But it seems to me that a radical rethink of design is in order for homes and other buildings on flood plains. Hopefully by next winter…
If there's anything at all we can help you with, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Toyota Motor Corp., the world's largest automaker, said its Corolla small car retained the global sales lead in 2012, contradicting Ford Motor Co.'s position that its Focus small car was No. 1.
Ford Tuesday said it grabbed the title with 1.02 million Focus compact sales, citing data compiled by R.L. Polk & Co. Dearborn, Michigan-based Ford said that topped 872,774 for Corolla, citing Polk, an automotive data company based in Southfield, Michigan.
"Toyota sold 1.16 million Corolla nameplate vehicles globally in 2012," Mike Michels, Toyota's U.S. vice president of communications, said in an e-mailed statement. "Corolla registrations attributed to Polk come up short by nearly 300,000 units. This discrepancy is glaring and we have requested clarification."
Ford and Detroit-based General Motors Co. have revamped their U.S. car offerings to win sales in a segment dominated for decades by Toyota and Tokyo-based Honda Motor Co. Fusion, Ford's mid-size sedan that was redesigned last year, is gaining ground on Toyota's Camry, the top-selling U.S. car for 11 consecutive years. Camry held a lead over Fusion of 100,830 to 80,558 after the first quarter.
The difference in the counts by Toyota and Polk may be that Toyota includes sales of models with names such as Corolla Axio and Corolla Altis.
Toyota City, Japan-based Toyota's U.S. sales unit is in Torrance, California.

A cannabis farm has been discovered growing in the aptly-named Pot House Lane.
Around 200 plants with lighting and cultivation equipment were seized from an upstairs bedroom of a farmhouse yesterday.
Lancashire Police officers, who found the factory at the address in Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, estimated its street value as up to £80,000.
PC Kat Stokes said: "This was a very sophisticated set up which had clearly been going for some time.
"Clearly someone has been tending to the crop on a regular basis and we are carrying out forensic inquiries to find out who was responsible. "
Anyone with information or concerns about cannabis in their community can contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Streets of Ansan, Gyeonggi Province, will turn into a paradise of artistic and unique performances from May 5 to 8.
The Ansan Street Arts Festival (ASAF) will see participation from 43 troupes from 11 countries to transform the local streets into a giant stage. Among them, official invitees are 11 groups from overseas and nine domestic ones. Another 17 will participate in the fringe section and six university troupes will showcase their artistic potential.
The main events will take place at Ansan 25' Square, a new landmark that opened last December. All events are free.
"We will make this festival an international carnival of street arts, beyond a local festival," Kim In-sook, general director of Ansan Arts Center, said. The art center is organizing the festival with support from Ansan City.
"Theatre Nomad: Old Song's Odyssey" will open up the festival on May 5. This performance is a collaboration of Snuff Puppets, an Australian puppet theater company, and Korean performance group Tuida.
Kim Jong-seok, artistic director of the festival and professor at the Department of Theatrical Performance in Yong In University, said, "The theme of ASAF is 'Dreaming in the Streets.' We tried to balance the artistry and popularity by staging a performance through cooperation of local and international companies as well as even citizens."
This is a "nomadic" performance, as the troupes prepare for the performance at a dome installed at the square through workshops with citizens, making puppets and props, Kim said. The dome will be open for a workshop from April 29 and Ansan City Choir will join in the opening show.
The closing performance is "Image par Image" by the French troupe Cie Karnavires, embroidering the city with fireworks, projections and a street parade for an hour on May 8.
Atempo Circ, a modern circus troupe from Spain, will premiere their work "Atempo" in Korea from May 5 to 7, while the bulky puppets of "Les Tonys" by Cie Albedo will "guard" visitors to the Ansan 25' Square throughout the festival.
Australian company Art Engine Inc. will create a rumpus with their "Three Men in a Tub" and Daichi from Japan will present "Comic Mime." Dinosaurs of "Saurus" by Netherland's Close-Act Theatre should not be missed.
Korean troupes will stage a variety of street arts as well. Social Enterprise Noridan will perform "Nomad of Zagra." In the street performance, aliens made from recycled materials ask citizens to join their group and have some outdoor fun. It became popular after being featured in the MBC hit variety program "Just Married."
Theatre Momggol, known for its corporal movement, will present "Handcart, Overturned" at the 2011 ASAF. Studio365's giant puppets will greet visitors at their performance "Alice," while Centre d'Arts Sans Frontieres will present "Flying Dreams," including buildings next to the square as part of the show.
Started in 2005, the festival is a major event held in Ansan, which has a population of 750,000. In 2009, the festival marked some 700,000 visitors.
"The ASAF is a leading festivity in the field of street arts in Korea. We want to make this like Stockton International Riverside Festival of the U.K. or Chalon dans la Rue of France," the artistic director said.
Visit www.ansanfest.com for more information. Brochures in Korean, English, Japanese and Chinese will be available at the square.

National Plan for Tillage Sector Needed
To save the tillage industry, a united approach by all parties with a vested interest in Irish agriculture, from producer to final consumer, needs to be adopted. That was the clear message from Michael Hoey, tillage farmer and owner of Country Crest, Dublin, as he addressed the Teagasc National Tillage Conference which is taking place in Carlow today Thursday, 28 January.
Michael Hoey pointed out to the 500 tillage farmers attending, that what is required in the tillage industry is a national plan. He said:" The plan should incorporate all aspects in the chain from research and development, production, marketers, and should meet the demands of the market. It must aim to develop and grow sustainable added value markets for what farmers produce, whether for food or energy and must learn from the mistakes that have been made, most notably the Irish sugar industry. The plan requires long-term vision, mindful of the need to be a productive plan rather than relying on quota and grants."
In a thought provoking address to the conference he said: "Agriculture has always been the backbone of the Irish economy and by developing a national plan that creates sustainable, green, real jobs it can lead Ireland to a stronger economy."
Difficult Cereal Market
Markets are now fairly certain that more than enough wheat and barley is available for the remainder of this season, according to Heike Hintze-Gharres from the Home Grown Cereals Association in the UK. She pointed out that the realisation that wheat and barley markets are facing another season of surplus saw prices plummeting in summer and early autumn 2009, however, since then prices have generally been firmer. Long term, price prospects improve as population and demand growth raises questions if the world will be able to raise production adequately. In the US, which is one the world's main wheat producers and exporters, winter wheat plantings have reportedly fallen to their lowest level since 1913.
Faced with lower margins from cereal production, Teagasc tillage specialist, Michael Hennessy said that economic survival for tillage farmers with low margins necessitates scale to generate sufficient income. He said:"Share farming offers land access where scale can be achieved at a sustainable level. Share farming can also offer the advantages of longer term lease without the fixed payments and similar flexibility of conacre, while sharing some of the risks. Both the share farmer and the landowner benefit from increased scale through increased buying and selling power."
Septoria Resistance
In wheat crops in 2008/09, researchers at Oak Park crops research centre discovered that strains of the cereal disease Septoria were less sensitive to triazole fungicides, Opus and Proline than any detected previously. Dr Eugene O Sullivan said that these Septoria isolates belong to a new genetic strain of the pathogen not previously found in Ireland. John Spink from Teagasc told the conference that the frequency of new strains of Septoria observed in two field locations, appeared to affect field performance in terms of immediate disease control and persistence of disease control. However, he advised that good levels of field control can be achieved by careful alteration of triazole active ingredients applied with another product active against Septoria or by the use of triazole mixes, again with an appropriate mix partner.
Challenges of the Water Framework Directive
The Water Framework Directive will have significant implications for the tillage sector. Colin Byrne, from the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government told the conference that the control of phosphorous and nitrogen losses to surface waters and groundwater, to ensure that water quality standards are not breeched, is particularly challenging in some areas due to local soil and hydrogeological conditions.
He pointed out that the national monitoring programme by the EPA has indicated a number of patterns of concern. Elevated nitrate concentrations have been consistently observed in the east and south east of the country in both groundwater and surface waters. The presence of intensive agricultural practices on free-draining soils in the southeast suggests that diffuse agricultural sources are the cause of elevated nitrate concentrations. A positive correlation between nitrate levels and the proportions of ploughed land in their catchments has been shown for the rivers in the south east. The estuaries of the south east and south of the country such as the Slaney, Blackwater and Bandon were found to be the most seriously eutrophic.

Airports are prominent non-places.Fifteen years ago, Steven Spielberg's "The Terminal," premised on a hapless traveler forced to live in an airport, made airports' placelessness a commonplace.The decommissioned air terminal is the subject of the Berlin-based Brazilian director's prize-winning 2018 documentary "Central Airport THF".In 2015 THF was retooled as a temporary shelter, where migrants could camp out for up to six weeks while sorting out their residency status.The film's protagonist is 18-year-old Ibrahim al-Hussein, who grew up on a farm near Manbij, in the northeast of Aleppo province, near the Turkish border. Ibrahim's voice-over narration commences the film while the screen is still black, and his recollections and observations punctuate the film as it documents a year in the life of the airport community (June 2016-May 2017), by which point his status has changed.Unlike the current U.S. regime, there's no discussion of separating migrant children from their families.While following Ibrahim through his year at Tempelhof, the audience also meets several of his chums and acquaintances, as well as Qutaiba Nafea and Maria al-Ahmad -- Arab employees of the state's resettlement regime who are the minor characters of Ainouz's film.

How the Texas Tribune Will Cover James O'Keefe's Latest Video (Update: I Told You So) BUMPED
James O'Keefe has released another bombshell video. In his latest, his hidden cameras capture Battleground Texas Field Organizer Jennifer Langoria admitting that once Battleground Texas registers Texans to vote, the group then turns around and takes their personal information for the group's political use.
That's against Texas election law.
The Texas Tribune is a non-profit news gathering organization that bills itself as non-partisan. It has come under serious and sustained criticism recently for getting a sweetheart deal to cover a fundraiser and speech by Democrat gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis. The news content it generates is syndicated all over Texas, for free, to local news outlets, which calls into question its non-profit status -- it's not supposed to be in competition with for-profit news organizations.
When it comes to hidden camera video that makes Democrats and their allies look bad, the Tribune consistently handles such videos in a backhanded way.
Take a look at how it covered this 2010 video, of then Rep. Ciro Rodriguez (D) having a meltdown in front of his constituents a few months before the 2010 election. The Tribune took several hours before it even covered the video. By the time the Tribune covered the clip, it had already been posted on blogs and news sites and discussed on talk radio for hours. The Tribune buried the breaking, newsworthy video under a body of content and several updates, and couched the video as something conservatives were spreading around. The Trib downplayed Rodriguez's actions in the video itself, actions which were the heart of the story. The Trib's headline gives their game away.
Conservatives Circulate Rodriguez Town Hall Clip
Rodriguez's actions in the clip are the story, not who was "circulating" it. The Trib took a breaking, sexy story in which a Democrat looked bad and gave it as dull as headline as they could, and then buried the video at the bottom of the story -- after accusing conservatives of "circulating" the clip. The message the Trib sent is straightforward -- conservatives are the bad guys for pointing out that a Democrat lost his marbles in public.
Now take a look at how the Tribune covered O'Keefe's video of Wendy Davis supporters caught on tape mocking Texas AG Greg Abbott for being in a wheelchair. The Trib's headline:
Group Claims Video Shows Davis Backers Mocking Abbott
The video shows the supporters mocking Abbott. The group didn't have to "claim" anything. There was one cheeky edit of a laugh in the video, but Davis' supporters said what they said.
By the way, good luck finding either of these stories quickly on the Trib.
If the Texas Tribune stays true to form, it will not cover the O'Keefe video at all at first. When it does get around to covering the video, it will neuter the contents of the clip as much as it possibly can. Battleground Texas' actions will not be the subject of the story -- James O'Keefe's Project Veritas will be the subject. The tone of the story will suggest that O'Keefe, not Battleground Texas, should be suspected of doing something wrong.
Update: The Trib took until the end of the day to publish anything on the video. So, good, they covered it, right? Well, not really. As I noted above, when they have covered previous videos that made Democrats look bad, the Trib neutralized the actual content of the video as much as possible. That in mind, read their story on the latest video. The Tribune handles a video that it cannot avoid covering, with a great deal of tactical awareness of how to underplay the video's content.
First, they don't embed the video in their story. They link it, requiring readers to take an extra step to click on the link and then come back to read the rest of their article.
Second, they downplay what the Battleground Texas organizer says in the video. They write all around that content -- which is the heart of the story -- with quotes from a number of other people, plus hints that James O'Keefe is a bad person. They cap the story off by quoting a Democrat Party lawyer who defends Battleground Texas. What a surprise! And then they finish with a Democrat talking point about voting rates in the state.
Capping all of that, the Trib headlines the piece as blandly as possible -- "Battleground Texas Activities Draw Questions." Yawn.
The Texas Tribune has once again played its partisan hand.
More: There is another problem with the Trib's coverage. The photo atop the story is not a photo of the Battleground Texas organizer, or James O'Keefe, or Wendy Davis. It's a photo of the Texas secretary of state. She is not really the driver of the video. But by writing her into the lead, the Trib can justify the photo placement, which conveniently moves the most obvious photo choice -- a screenshot of the BGTX organizer -- off the top, and out of sight altogether.

about the video
Indonesia's 'Punk Muslim' group sings about Islamic values and social issues, attracting hundreds of followers. The band uses music to spread Islamic values.

A much-loved northern suburbs fine dining restaurant has closed its doors after almost 40 years in business.
Conti's Restaurant, set on the Paul Conti Wines estate on Wanneroo Road in Woodvale, broke the news to its loyal patrons on Facebook on December 29.
"After nearly 40 years of food service, and due to varying circumstances, we are closing the doors of Conti's Restaurant until further notice," the post said.
"We will, of course, keep you in the loop of any upcoming developments at our homestead venue, but most importantly, we would like to thank you for your loyalty and unwavering support over many decades.
"Our winery events (and winery) will continue as an integral part of our business, and the alfresco enclosure is still open for private events and functions."
The post prompted an immediate outpouring of grief among the restaurant's loyal fans.
"So, so sad. Conti's is our local and our favourite," said Barb Howard. "We will miss this place so much. It holds so much sentimental moments.
"Both of my children held their receptions there and has held many special memories."
Another, Rachel Jessop, said: "This is just the worst! Best food and memories made at that amazing restaurant! And the wine is incredible too! So sad to see it go."
"Our favourite restaurant and holds an ever more special place in our hearts as it was where my husband proposed to me 15 years ago," wrote Vicki Hiscock. "I truly hope things will turn around/out for you and back to business as usual."
The restaurant, which was the original family home winemaker Paul Conti shared with his Sicilian-migrant parents and seven siblings, has for years been a popular haunt for locals devoid of fine-dining options in the northern suburbs and earned a four-star rating on Tripadvisor.
A spokeswoman for the Conti family said after so many years in the restaurant business, it was a tough decision to close.
"But we are looking forward to exploring new beginnings and a fresh direction for the business," she said.
"We will, of course, honour our heritage and ensure we offer an experience that is authentic and good value, whatever the future holds.
"Sadly, a la carte dining, as much as we, and our customers loved it, doesn't attract a constant stream of traffic like it once did. Costs of goods and services is also a huge factor."
With chef Damien McCullaugh serving up a menu that has barely changed in more than 35 years, the small, intimate atmosphere made it the perfect spot for wedding receptions or a romantic evening in front of a roaring fire.
Conti's said people with bookings in the new year would be contacted shortly and anyone with a gift voucher should contact the estate's cellar door on 9409 9160.

Benefits Of Outsourcing Graphic Designers
Graphic design outsourcing can help a lot in getting good graphic designs for an affordable price and a timely manner too. Companies that have strong marketing background bring more benefit for graphic designers. This is a fact for all forms of sales and promotions.
The details of the company will be analyzed by the graphic design agencies and this will include their marketing channels, targeted customers, competitors and so forth. These companies offer services similar to graphic design outsourcing for both printed mediums and even for websites. To be able to see some of the works that they've completed in the past, you might even request to take a look at their graphic design portfolio.
The best thing about graphic design outsourcing is the fact that it is a more affordable option than assigning a staff to do graphic design. The number of people who opt for outsourcing their web projects actually keep on rising. These said agencies are offering specialization in the field they are in, allowing them to provide great expertise in handling projects even online. As a matter of fact, it is smart to check out for promotional offers or discount schemes by such companies. In most instances, they charge customers a fixed amount of fees for an overall project or for certain period of time.
There are many different reasons to why companies outsource the job. Some go for it because they do not have the resources and qualifications required, some simply need more time for the core issues of their business whereas other people are running short of time and so forth. As a matter of fact, outsourcing can help clients to concentrate on more important points of their business. Just think of the benefits that outsourcing can get rid of like eliminating stress of making appropriate design and freeing you from doing stuff you don't have good idea about. Aside from having qualified professionals to handle the graphic design project, they can give you a chance to select the logo from various options made by them.
Expect as well to get highest amount of ROI through outsourcing. In exchange of a premium price, you can also hire a graphic designer to work exclusively on your project either part time or full time basis if needed. Well, just try to imagine if you are the one who needs to complete all the changes in graphic design, you will have to install new software which is likely going to cost you hundreds of dollars and then, you have to spend time in knowing how to use it that will cost you again your time and energy.

Still, its flexibility has turn into a want, if not essential, part of instructional course of for special schooling students. And very rare cases, offers services to students who don't meet special schooling standing.
The packages (aside from early childhood special education) are organized right into a set of cross-categorical core courses and disability-specific specializations.

frequently asked questions - nippers
The Nipper handbook and SLSQ app contain answers to many questions. Please consult these resources for information.
My child is 12 today (born 5 October), what age group will they be in?
The age group that your child is calculated to be in is the age they are as at 30 September – your child was 11 on 30 September (turned 12 on 5 October) and therefore is classed as being in the U12 age group (even though they are 12). A child who has their twelfth birthday on 30 July would be placed in the U13 age group.
Does my child change age groups if their birthday is during a season?
No. The age group for children is determined by their age as at midnight 30 September i.e. if a child turns 8 on 30 September, they would be in U9s for that season. If a child turns 8 on 1 October, they would be in U8s for that season.
My child's friend's birthday puts him in different age group and they want to be together.
Sorry, the rules are that children are placed in the age groups where their birthday falls – it may be good for them to be in different age groups; they can make new friends and still socialise before and after the program.
How often do I bring my child to the beach?
The Nipper program runs on Saturday mornings, commencing from 8am. Specialised training is available at various times during the week for surf sports competitors.
What does my child need?
Bathers/togs, a club cap, water bottle, high-visability long sleeved t-shirt or long sleeved rash top, sun hat, a towel and sunscreen. If your child is competing there is also a requirement to have a high visibility rash vest. Nobby's Beach SLSC branded gear is available for purchase. Please speak to your child's liasion officer and/or junior activities subcommittee member.
What do children in Surf Life Saving do?
Depending on their age group, children will cover beach sprints and flags, swimming, board paddling, wading, basic CPR/ first aid skills, junior development and lots of fun activities. They will also learn surf lifesaving skills, surf awareness, and intrinsically develop personal and emotional skills.
Junior Awards – what are these for my child?
Each age group award has sessions they participate in to acquire relevant skills and knowledge. They will need to attend and participate in all of the compulsory sessions to attain the award. They must also complete the pool and beach evaluation to obtain the award.
Does my child have to be able to swim?
Yes, each age group has specific requirements for swimming ability. All children will complete a pool evaluation including a swim and a float, which the club conducts. This is carried out before participating in any Junior Activities session to assess their swimming and self-survival ability in the water. This will determine whether they can progress to Junior Activities. They will then be required to complete a beach evaluation (run-swim-run). The next step is for them to train to complete the competition evaluation consisting of an ocean water swim. This allows them to compete at inter-club carnivals.Only those who wish to compete are required to complete the competition evaluation.
Is this a "learn to swim" program?
NO. Although your child will benefit enormously and increase their confidence from exposure to open water-based activities, including swimming and board paddling, we do not provide specific learn-to-swim training or stroke correction. This is strongly encouraged to be taken up externally.
What can I do to help?
Parents can become involved in many areas of club activities. Areas can include helping with training, coaching, being a team manager, officiating, fundraising, providing water safety (if you gain your Surf Rescue Certificate or Bronze Medallion), cooking the club BBQ etc., but most of all supporting your child in their Junior Activities.
What happens when my child finishes all the various Junior Activities age groups and awards?
The Junior Development Program is designed to gradually introduce your child into the role of a qualified surf lifesaver and assist in patrolling the beaches. They can continue to be involved in a variety of competition events if desired. They will undertake various other awards and learn many facets of community service involvement. They can be taught specialist areas of competition and compete both at a state and national level. The club has various engagement programs that cater for youth members making the transition into patrolling members (such as YIPs). Contact the Cadet/Youth Development Officer for more information.
What equipment can my child use?
Members under the age of 16 are not permitted in surf boats; in addition, members under the age of 15 are not permitted to use surf skis. All members operating crafts must be qualified to operate the particular craft (e.g. IRB—must hold a current Bronze Medallion, as well as IRB Driver's certification). Further care should be given to club equipment when in use. Consult the relevant SLS Gear & Equipment Policies.
Must I join a club as a parent?
At least 1 parent must join with there child for them to be eligible to participate in the junior activities program.
Can I still sign my child on after the sign on dates?
YES! Nippers can sign on any time!
What happens in bad weather?
In the event of adverse weather conditions, an SMS will be sent to all members advising of changes to the location, date or time of an event. A notice will also be posted in the Nobbys Nippers Members Facebook group.
Where is the training schedule?
All surf sports information can be found in the surf sports section of the site.
What happens if I lose something?
Speak to your child's age group liaison officer who will direct you to the correct person.

We made some pretty adorable winter snow globes. We have two tutorials today that you should try. They are pretty inexpensive, easy to make, and super fun! :)
Snowman Snow Globe
Here's what you'll need to get started:
- small spice jar
- clay
- black, white, yellow paint
- paint color of your choice (for the ear muffs)
- small twig
1. Paint the outside of your jar to look like a winter landscape.
2. Form the three layers of your snow man from your clay; big ball, medium ball, small ball with nose and ear muffs.
3. Put a tiny piece of clay between each layer of the snow man. This will help him stick. Then bake him in the oven at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes. When done let cool for 10-15 minutes before moving on.
4. Paint your snow mans features and add his arms!
5. Glue your snow man with hot glue to the bottom of your lid.
6. Screw your jar unto your lid and place it where you want it. That's it! Now you have an adorable tiny snow globe.
Couple Snow Globe
Here's what you need:
- mason jar
- small decorative christmas tree
- 10-12 mini white pom-poms
- white thread
- small wooden people
- paint
1. Paint your wooden people to your liking. Sit them aside to dry when finished.
2. Thread pom-poms into your thread. We strung 2-3 pom-poms per piece of thread.
3. Tape the pom-pom strings to the inside of your jar lid.
4. Hot glue the tree and people into your jar.
5. Place your lid on the jar. And now you have a perfect winter scene!
Our snow globes aren't like regular one's, they don't have liquid. BUT they are still super cute and better because we were able to make them exactly how we wanted them. Our favorite part was that we got to use cool jars to make them. We really hope you guys try these, they are easy and you can personalize them to your style!
Happy Friday!
Britt + Sky
