Earlier this week, we published an article on Tenant Renegotiation. If you'd like to read it, please visit here:
Here's the video version! Enjoy!
When working with an office tenant, one of the first questions we ask is, "How much space do you need?" Surprisingly, many times a client isn't sure, or has unrealistic expectations of their size requirements. In the past, office buildings were built to accommodate approximately 3 or 4 people per 1,000 square feet of rentable space. With rent being one of the highest expenses for a company, many organizations have looked to place more people in the same square footage. Why is this not always feasible? Well there are a few reasons:

If you're looking for hints on the future of the real estate pipeline, including new residential and non-residential starts, you can do worse than listening to Ed Sullivan. The senior vice president and chief economist of the Portland Cement Association, Sullivan was among the keynote speakers at the recent mid-year meeting of the Herndon, Va.-based National Concrete Masonry Association, at the Inter-Continental Hotel in Chicago.
Invariably as riveting a speaker as he is an insightful forecaster, Sullivan began by noting the American economy is in something akin to a weather pattern calling for consistently warm and sunny days.
CHICAGO—The industrial sector has become one of chief targets of investors, and several groups now say industrial properties related to transportation and outdoor storage can become a separate and valued asset class. J.D. Salazar, a leader in Chicagoland commercial real estate community for more than 30 years, has re-started Champion Realty Advisors launch just such an initiative.
Overall there are five main components you should consider for your retail space…it can be a relatively straight forward process.
Location location location… We've all heard the saying before as it pertains to real estate, but what exactly does it mean when you are looking to lease a space for your business? This varies with what type of business you have as well as what you're looking for to help ensure the success of your business.
Wayfair, the largest online furniture retailer in the U.S. with $6 billion in annual revenues, is following in the steps of numerous other e-tailers in opening its first brick and mortar store.
The site of the store is in Florence, KY outside of Cincinnati, according to Furniture Today. The 20,000-square-foot outlet store will be given its own space within a 260,000-square-foot distribution center being constructed to handle Wayfair's growing online business.

Hi everyone,
Here's this week's edition of FFFF. Enjoy.
This week I have been mostly:
Looking forward:
To the start of the Test Cricket series between us and the South Africans. Nothing like a 5-day game on TV to force significant marital negotiations. A new England captain, Joe Root. C'mon lads.
Listening to:
A new album by Kevin Morby called City Music. You can pick your vinyl copy at Jam Records in town.
Black Rednecks and White Liberals by Thomas Sowell. I have been wanting to read this book for a while, it challenges assumptions about culture in the US with interesting theories on the commonality of culture across race and social division which has historical relevance to our ancestors (those seafarers of the south west involved in the slave trade, piracy and those who emigrated to the 'new world'). How powerful culture is and how it conditions behaviour.
A passage from the book I mentioned previously, Neither Wolf nor Dog by Kent Nerburn.
To summarise badly, Dan the Lakota Sioux elder comments on the white people that came and how important freedom is to them. Dan suggests that freedom was not important to the Indian tribes as they understood what it was to be free. Honour was more important to the Indians than freedom. The white people left Europe to escape their cages in search of freedom but brought their cages with them. The white people imposed cages upon the Indians, parcelled up the land and put lines and fences to cage the Indian tribes. Brought fences to cage themselves in on small pieces of land with a small cage they called a house.
My favourite muscle group for lateral and low back stability: the Obliques. This time a modified push up/plank. In a plank or push up position simply lifting one leg and draw imaginary squares in the air with your pointed foot while keeping your back level (no twist), repeat with the other leg. Alternatively, bringing one leg up bending the knee alongside the body like a dog cocking its leg, repeat with the other leg.
Until next week,
Finemore's Five for Friday (15)

This lesson will help you to:—
Real Life Example
Division is used in almost and every sphere of our life. Division is used in daily household activities, shopping in a mall, eating pizza etc.
What is DIVISION?
Division is splitting into equal parts or groups.
It is the result of "fair sharing".
When we share equally we divide.
Symbolically, we write it as follows;
\[27\div 9=3\]
For example:
Kitty found 25 beautiful pearls on the seashore. She collected and brought all of them home. Now she wants to put them in jewellery boxes. She can put 5 pearls in one jewellery box.
She made 1 group of 5 pearls & put them in 1 jewellery box.
She put 5 more pearls in 2nd jewellery box.
She is left with some pearls, so she put 5 pearls in another jewellery box.
5 more in another jewellery box.
5 pearls in another box.
There are no more pearls left.
Kitty required 5 jewellery boxes to keep the pearls.
Therefore, we can say that 25 pearls put into equal groups of 5 each gives 5 groups.
We can say that, 25 pearls divided by 5 pearls in 1 group gives 5 groups.
When we group equally, we divide.
Symbolically, we write it as,
\[25\div 5=5\]
Hence. Division is splitting into equal parts or groups.
It is separating or distributing something into parts
Amazing Facts
The remainder must always be smaller than the divisor.
You can check the answer by just following a simple rule –
\[\left( \text{QUOTIENT }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ DIVISOR} \right)\]
Any number divided by 10 gives the ones digit as remainder as the other digits as the quotient.
The number to be divided is called the dividend. It is the number you want to divide up.
For example:\[12\div 6=2\]. Here 12 is to be divided by 6.
Hence, 12 is the dividend.
The number which divides the dividend is called the divisor. It is the number that we are dividing by. For example:\[12\div 6=2\]. Here 12 is to be divided by 6.
Hence, 6 is the divisor.
The result obtained after dividing one number by another is called quotient. It is the answer in division. For example:\[12\div 6=2\]. Here 12 divided by 6 gives 2.
Therefore, 2 is the quotient.
Zero Property
(a) If zero is divided by any number, the answer is always zero.
For example: if we have zero number of chocolates to be divided amongst the students, then each will get zero chocolate.
\[0\div 5=0\]
(b) If any number is divided by zero, then problem cannot be solved.
Property of one
If any number is divided by one, the answer is the number itself.
For example: Ram's family has gone to the market so he is alone at home. There are 9 cookies kept in the kitchen. How many cookies will Ram get to eat?
Here, Ram can eat all the 9 cookies as there is no one else to share the cookies.
Therefore, 9 cookies are to be divided amongst 1 person.
That is, \[9\div 1=9\]
Dividing a number by itself
If any number is divided by itself, the answer will always be one.
For Example: Ram's family is back at home. They have brought pizza for all of them. There are total 6 members in the family including Ram. The pizza is divided in 6 equal parts. How many parts will each member get?
6 equal parts are to be shared amongst 6 members.
That is,\[6\div 6=1\].
Each member will get 1 part of pizza.
Therefore, we can say that any number divided by itself gives 1 as the quotient.
Division can also be shown as follows:
For example: \[9\div 3=3\]
It can also be written as,
& \,\,\,\,\,9 \\
& \underline{\,\,\,\,\,9\,\,\,\,} \\
& \underline{\,\,\,\,\,\times \,\,\,\,} \\
To understand the concept of Long division, let us take another example,
\[45\div 5=?\]
& \,\,\,\,\,45 \\
& \underline{\,\,\,\,\,45\,\,\,\,} \\
& \underline{\,\,\,\,\,\times \,\,\,\,\,\,\,} \\
Because \[5\times 9=45\]
Digit on the tens place is less than the divisor (4 < 5). Therefore, we will write quotient on ones. This is called Long Division.
We have already learnt that division can be shown in two ways.
But sometimes, it doesn't work perfectly.
It happens whenever we get remainder in division. Let us, see what a remainder is.
There are 49 chocolates which have to be distributed amongst 9 friends. How many chocolates will each friend receive?
49 chocolates are to be shared equally amongst 9 friends. That is, \[49\div 9\]or
An Interesting Poem on Division

Young laddie, it won't make
Things worse,

Repeated subtraction?
Break to a fraction?

In the book "How Mathematics Happened: The first 50, 000 years", Peter Rudman said that the development of the concept of prime numbers could only have come about after the concept of division. Which he dates to after 10, 000 BC.
Sometimes in division, we may not be able to equally group or share the objects.
Something is left over.
This leftover number is called the remainder.
\text{Divisor}\leftarrow \overset{5\,\to }{\overline{\left){\begin{align}
& 49 \\
& \underline{45} \\
& 4 \\
\end{align}}\right.}} & \text{Quotient} \\
\end{matrix} & \to \,\operatorname{Remainder} \\
Let us have a look on another example:
\[451\div 6=?\]
& \,\,\,\,\,451 \\
& \underline{-\,42\downarrow } \\
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,3\,\,1 \\
& \underline{-\,\,\,\,3\,0} \\
& 1 \\
\[\left( 6\times 7=42 \right)\]
\[\left( 45-42=3 \right)\]
\[\left( 6\times 5=30 \right)\]
\[\left( 31-30=1 \right)\]
Here, Quotient = 75 & Remainder = 1
Let us check our answer of the above solved problem:
The trick is
\[\text{(Quotient }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ Divisor)+Remainder=Dividend}\]
So, on the left hand side we have,
Quotient = 75
Divisor = 6
Remainder =1
& on the right hand side we have
Dividend = 451
The answer would be correct if left hand side = Right hand side
Left hand side
\[(75\times 6)+1=450+1=451\]
Right hand side
Left hand side = Right hand side = 451
Therefore, our answer is correct.
Dividing a 4 digit number is just like dividing any other 3 digit number.
A school has organized a medical camp for 6290 students of the school. The students were divided in groups of 5 students in each group. Let us find out how many such groups will be formed.
Number of groups formed = Total number of students – Number of students in 1 group
\[6290\div 5=?\]
Here, Quotient = 1258 & Remainder = 0
Therefore, the number of groups formed = 1258
Let us have a look on another example.
\[4853\div 2=?\]
Here, Quotient = 2426 & Remainder = 1
Let us find out \[891\div 10=\]______
To solve the above problem, we have an amazing shortcut. Let us have a look....
& \,\,\,\,\,8\,\,9\,\,1 \\
& \underline{-8\,\,0\,\,\downarrow } \\
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,9\,\,1 \\
& \underline{\,\,\,\,-9\,\,0} \\
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,1 \\
Misconcept: Division is commutative, order does not matter.
Concept: Division is not commutative, order does matter.
For example: \[891\div 10=?\]
Here, Quotient = 89 & Remainder = 1
Now,\[68\div 10=?\]
Quotient = 6 & Remainder = 8
\[590\div 10=?\]
Quotient = 59 & Remainder = 0
Isn't it easy?
45 students were selected for presenting the school exhibition. They were divided in groups of 15 students in each group to assign different departments. Let us find out how many such groups were formed.
\[45\div 15=?\text{ or }15\overline{\left){45}\right.}\]
When we divide any number by any 2 digit number, first of all, we will estimate the quotient.
\[15\overline{\left){45}\right.}\]rounds to \[10\overline{\left){40}\right.}\]
To solve, this, \[10\times 4=40\]
Therefore, the quotient is 4.
Now, try this estimated quotient.
\[15\times 4=60>45\]
\[15\times 3=45=45\]
& \,\,\,\,45 \\
& \underline{-45} \\
& \underline{\,\,\,\,\times \,\,}\,\, \\
Therefore, Quotient = 3 & Remainder = 0
A pastry shop made 310 pastries which are to be packed in 24 boxes. How many pastries will each box contain?
Total number, of s = 310
Total number of s = 24
Number of pastries in 1 box = Total number of pastries
Total number of boxes
\[=310\div 24\]
Here we have to divide the number by a 2 digit number.
Therefore, we will estimate the quotient first.
\[24\overline{\left){310}\right.}\]rounds to \[20\overline{\left){300}\right.}\]
To solve this, \[20\times 15=300\]
Therefore, the quotient is 15.
Now, try this estimated quotient.
\[24\times 15=360>310\]
\[24\times 14=336>310\]
\[24\times 13=312>310\]
\[24\times 12=288<310\]
& \,\,\,\,310 \\
& \underline{-288} \\
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\underline{22} \\
Therefore, Quotient = 12 & the Remainder = 22.
As the dividend increases, the quotient also increases.
\[4\div 2=2\]
\[40\div 20=20\]
\[400\div 200=200\]
\[4000\div 2000=2000\]
As the divisor increases, the quotient decreases.
\[4000\div 2=2000\]
\[4000\div 20=200\]
\[4000\div 200=20\]
\[4000\div 2000=2\]

Since the evolution of the civilization human and animals friendship is a common thing. In simple term Pet means animals which lives with the humans. In broad term a pet is a household animal kept in a house for the purpose of friendship, security and entertainment.
Pet's animals are different from the other categories of animals like wild animals, livestock, laboratory animals, working animals or sport animals, which are kept primarily for the purpose of economic or productive reasons.

Anyone who's looking to have a little home improvement done on their place will always search the internet first for any professionals they can hire. Painting contractors are commonly found online these days because of the thick audience and numerous potential clients that often go on the internet for services just like theirs. Of course, simply having a website is no guarantee that a painting contractor will meet success. All too often, painting contractor websites aren't built as best as they could be, failing to maximize the potential of the site all together. Wondering what are the most common mistakes painting contractors make with their websites? Read on to find out.
- Too Many Colors – Yes, you paint houses and commercial establishments for a living, but that doesn't mean you should use all those colors when you design your website from painting company websites. The fact is, too many colors tend to confuse visitors, leaving a negative cluttered impression about you and your services. Instead of bombarding them with every shade in the known spectrum, choose instead to leverage your company colors. This won't only make for a cleaner website, but will also make it easier for them to identify your brand.
- Missing Contact Information – Putting your telephone number, fax, email address, address, and whatever other contact information towards the bottom of the page in very small fonts isn't really an effective way to let your guests know that you're open for calls. The thing about your contact info is that it needs to be positioned in an area of your site that makes it easy to spot. You should keep in mind that people want their information fast and if they have to spend some time exploring your site just to find out how to contact you, they might end up looking for someone else for their painting job instead. Know more about web design in http://www.ehow.com/how_2100465_become-web-designer.html.
- Lots of Text – You're a painting contractor website, so don't try to get too flowery with the words. There's very little your readers want to know about your service, and that's all you should provide them. People don't want to read through long, tedious chunks of text that take away from their time – they want to know what they need to know fast and easy. Instead of bombarding them with lengthy texts in different pages of your site, give them just the details that they need in order to make the hire.

Over the past couple of years, I noticed that the pastor at my church has had some health issues which made him him sometimes miss meetings, stay home sick from church on Sundays every once in awhile, and generally just not feel very well.
Thinking back, I remembered about two years ago he had a big infection and was hospitalized for several weeks. During that time, he was put on an aggressive course of antibiotics (as most sick people are, whether or not they have a bacterial infection).
I don't know the details of this original illness, but I do know that he's been suffering from digestive issues ever since, which have increasingly tormented him and prevented sleep at night, interfering with his work and ministry at church.
One day after hearing he was again missing meetings, I emailed him and told him my suspicion: the course of antibiotics resulting from his illness two years ago had wrecked his gut and had precipitated most (if not all all) of his current issues.
I recommended he try taking some high-quality probiotics.
I shared some articles and research, then gave some recommendations of how to choose a few good ones.
I told him to start slow (because there can be an adjustment period as "bad bacteria" die off and "good bacteria" begin to populate the gut–but nothing worse than the symptoms he was already experiencing).
Two weeks later my pastor approached me and said, "Leah, I'm a new man! I feel so much better! I'm sleeping better and I have energy and I don't feel sick any more!"
Word began to spread at church, and now I have people approaching me with questions about their health all the time. I'm happy to pass along any knowledge and resources I have, because the information is all out there!
What are Probiotics?
Probiotics are "beneficial" bacteria. In modern society, we've been conditioned to see all bacteria bad, foreign things that will make us sick, but this is simply not true. There are millions of bacteria that live with humans and animals in a symbiotic relationship: they benefit us, and we benefit them.
Why do We Need Them?
We don't know the full scope of the symbiotic role that beneficial bacteria play, but we are beginning to understand how vital they are to our existence.
- It is estimated that human bodies are made up of approximately 90% bacteria by volume. These microbes are everywhere: on our skin, in our sinuses, ears, mouths, in our guts… literally everywhere. These microbes do a good job of helping to regulate our bodies and keep them functioning properly, and in return, we feed them with the food that we eat or byproducts from our bodies, like skin cells and sweat.
- A huge variety of our bacteria live in our digestive systems, or our "guts," and researchers are discovering that at least 70-80% of our immune system is in our gut. Our guts have a huge influence on our overall health: both physical and mental.
- Bacteria do a lot of work in our bodies, including helping to regulate hormones that control fat stores, skin issues, auto-immune response, fertility, available energy, and overall well-being.
- Balance is key. We refer to bacteria as "good" and "bad" but really we just need a balance of the bacteria in our guts. The fact is, we all have "bad" bacteria such as E. Coli in our bodies, but if these bacteria don't overrun our systems or multiply too quickly, they are not a threat. Even "good" bacteria can cause problems if there's too much of it. Our bodies generally do a good job of regulating the population of bacteria, as long as we ensure we have a good variety of bacteria for our bodies to work with. As long as we have enough "good bacteria," or probiotics, in our guts, they will fight off the "baddies" and keep our bodies balanced and healthy.
How Can I Get Them?
You may have noticed an array of probiotic supplements in your local health food store (and how expensive they are).
The good news is that you don't have to buy a lot of expensive supplements to get a good balance of bacteria in your body. In fact, different fermented foods carry a large population of beneficial bacteria, and they are really easy to make, and to eat.
Yogurt is the most popular and widely-known source of probiotics, but not all yogurts are created equal.
Many of the yogurts on the store shelves are full of sugar (which feeds bad bacteria) and a lot of them even have harmful additives like carageenan (which has been found to cause cancer) to keep them refrigerator shelf-stable for weeks at a time.
Store bought yogurts can be a source of probiotics, but you need to know what to look for, and they shouldn't constitute your only source of probiotics.
- Look for "live and active cultures" on the container, and check the ingredients for which specific cultures are contained.
- Find out if the yogurt has been pasteurized. Most yogurt is made with pasteurized milk, but even after it's been turned into yogurt is then pasteurized again. Pasteurization will kill the beneficial bacteria that were necessary to make the yogurt, so they won't benefit you.
- Get organic. Yogurt is made from milk, and if the milk is not organic it will contain antibiotics and hormones that were given to the cows. These substances are detrimental and even toxic to our bodies, and can cause hormonal imbalances and antibiotic resistance in the long run.
- Get plain and unflavored yogurt. You may not like the taste of plain yogurt, but you can add fresh fruit and honey for flavoring, instead of consuming a lot of extra added sugars.
- Get whole milk yogurt. Studies have shown that low-fat dairy products do not contribute to weight loss and may actually cause weight gain. The full-fat options allow your body to more efficiently process the beneficial fat-soluble vitamins in the yogurt, and the fat will make you feel full longer, so you'll eat less overall.
- Check the ingredients. In addition to checking for live and active cultures, make sure your yogurt doesn't have any additives like carageenan, sugar, color, or anything else. Ideally, it should just be milk and a culture.
Did you know?
Yogurt is so easy to make. Yogurt makers are inexpensive and make it easier, but you don't even need one to make yogurt. My favorite yogurt is clay-batch yogurt, which I make in VitaClay.
VitaClay has a built-in yogurt maker in most models.
All you have to do is load in milk and a yogurt culture and press "yogurt" and a few hours later you'll have the best yogurt you've ever tasted, and a starter batch to make more!
Kefir is a milk-based probiotic beverage that is also known as "drinkable yogurt." Kefir often contains different bacteria than yogurt, and sometimes at greater quantities per serving. If you're buying kefir from the store, apply the same checks as listed above for yogurt. Add kefir to smoothies or drink it plain–it tastes like buttermilk.
Incidentally, my father suffered from terrible seasonal allergies for over 60 years. My mother read about kefir and started making it at home, and he hasn't had a problem with allergies since!
Other fermented foods, such as sauerkraut, kimchee, natto and miso contain other probiotics that are beneficial, and they are delicious additions to your diet. Sauerkraut is super easy to make, and two ounces of homemade sauerkraut contains exponentially more beneficial bacteria than a whole bottle of store-bought probiotics, for pennies on the dollar!
Additionally, lots of things can be fermented: I've fermented homemade salsa, which was super easy and so delicious! I've also seen recipes for fermented carrots, onions, cucumbers (pickles!), and even guacamole! The possibilities are endless! (Wild Fermentation link)
If you don't want to make these fermented foods at home and would rather buy them, follow the rules listed under yogurt, and make sure they have live and active cultures (which is, after all, the whole point). Also watch for additives such as MSG and citric acid, in addition to those listed for yogurt.
Probiotic Supplements
Overall, I think that many probiotic supplements are a waste of money. As discussed above, the probiotics in just one serving of homemade sauerkraut can contain more good bacteria than an entire bottle of store-bought bacteria! This generally applies to lacto-based bacteria, however, which are the type contained in yogurt and most fermented foods. These bacteria are good, and you should definitely get them. If you absolutely don't want to ferment anything at home, go ahead and buy them.
A few great brands to consider are:
- Plexus (for a more aggressive approach, and to kill candida: the
American parasite)
- Garden of Life
- Jarrow
- Silver Fern
- Bio-Kult
I recommend going to a health food store with high-quality probiotics rather than trusting a drugstore brand.
AND! Check out this really great database that can help you determine which probiotic strains may help you the most based on your current symptoms and struggles!
Look for a bottle that lists the type of bacteria included and a guaranteed number of live bacteria per serving (usually listed in the billions CFU). The higher the number, the more bacteria it will contain (and very high numbers will require a slower breaking in period, which you can discuss with the worker at the health food store). These higher-quality probiotics will cost more, but this is a classic case of getting what you pay for, and what we want here is results.
Probioitics I buy
My one exception to the "store-bought probiotics are a waste of money" rule is in the category of soil-based probiotics. Here's why: the lacto-based probiotics like those found in yogurt, sauerkraut and other ferments are so easy to make and so delicious to eat that there's no reason to pay expensive store prices for a shelf-stable inferior product.
Soil-based probiotics, however, are different strains that have a different effect in our bodies: they go deeper into the gut and contribute differently to immunity. So we need both, but soil-based are found in soil, as the name implies.
In antiquity, people got a good amount of soil in their diets from digging up veggies and eating them.
These days, I don't trust the soil as far as I can throw it. It's been compromised with pesticides, herbicides, pharmaceutical drugs, and all manner of other toxins from our waste water and runoff. Even if I were inclined to eat soil (I'm not), it would probably do much more harm than good.
So when it comes to soil-based probiotics, I will purchase them from a reputable company that can guarantee their purity, quality, and effectiveness–even if they are expensive. I've listed below a few soil-based probiotics on which I have done research. I trust them to deliver a safe, effective, quality product.
What About Prebioitics?
Prebiotics are the "food" for beneficial gut bacteria that already live in our guts. And since not all gut bacteria can be supplemented with probiotics, it's a great idea to get some good prebiotics in your diet as well.
As a matter of fact, you probably already do get some prebiotics, as they are often soluble fiber found in fruit.
There are also symbiotic prebiotic-probiotic supplements that you may find beneficial, especially if you have recently taken antibiotics or had some digestive problems. Here's one I like because it includes a prebiotic in drink form, a probiotic with several different types of strains, and a real food multi supplement.
One Last Thing
Since probiotics by their nature will multiply in our guts, it is unnecessary to take the same one every day of your life (though it is a great practice to ensure you are always getting plenty of prebiotics so your gut population can flourish). In fact, it's better to switch them up, comparing the ingredients to ensure you get different bacteria with each different supplement.
Once a bacteria colony is established in your gut, it will likely be there awhile, so after you've taken one for a month or two, you can move on to a different one with different strains. You may want to double back to one you like in a few months or in a year to make sure that colony is still thriving, but overall, your body will maintain those bacteria once they are established (until they are killed off by antibiotics or toxins in the diet).

BEIRUT (AP) � Tanks rolled into the northern port of Latakia � a key city in the heartland of Syria�s ruling elite � and security forces opened fire on anti-government demonstrators while heavy shooting rang out again today in the southern protest hotbed of Daraa, witnesses said.
In a further blow to President Bashar Assad, more than 200 members have quit Syria�s ruling Baath Party in the southern province at the center of the uprising to protest the Assad regime�s brutal crackdown on opponents, a human rights activist said.
A witness said six tanks rolled into Latakia last night and security forces fired on pro-democracy demonstrators, wounding four.
Unrest in Latakia is significant because the province has strong historical ties to Assad�s minority Alawite sect, which is an offshoot of Shiite Islam. Latakia is now home to a diverse mix of religious groups, with mostly Sunni Muslims in the urban core and Alawites in the countryside. At least 14 people died in clashes in the city during the earlier days of the uprising, raising fears that the violence could take on a sectarian tone.
Assad has tried to crush the revolt. More than 450 people have been killed across Syria in the crackdown, with 120 dead over the weekend.
Troops today were using heavy machine guns in a military operation in Daraa, said resident Abdullah Abazeid. He added that snipers shot and killed more people and that 43 have died since the military descended on Daraa on Monday.

By Amy Chesler, blogger and author
We recently had the honor of sitting down with Diedrich Bader, prolific actor, voiceover talent, and comedian. He gave us a little perspective and a lot of wisdom on some of our Hollywood favorites.
A.C.: Thank you so much for your time, Mr. Bader. Its a pleasure to be given the opportunity to chat about your career! I remember reading on Twitter that your only aspirations as a young man were to make your way over a mountain range with your motorcycle. So, what eventually led you to and down this much different path of voice-over, acting, and comedy?
D.B.: I always wanted to be an actor. I was inspired very young by Charlie Chaplin. For a time (when I was 18) I kind of lost that and just wanted to ride a motorcycle to Tierra del Fuego. Maybe I'll do that someday, but right now I'm crazy happy.
A.C.: And for good reason! You've been extremely successful in film and television. Let's talk TV first. Over the years you've had cameos on some of the TV's biggest hits. You've also joined many casts as a regular, like The Drew Carey Show, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Outsourced, and your current role as Greg Otto on the hilarious American Housewife. What do you find unique about the experience of being a part of a television show cast? Which projects have been the most memorable to be a part of and why?
D.B.: I've been lucky enough to try pretty much every medium for an actor and television really suits me best. It suits my attention span. The pace is breathtakingly fast and the scripts show up at the last minute. That's perfect for me.
American Housewife is great to work on because of both the scripts and the truly amazing Katy Mixon. She's an absolute pleasure to work with. We'll spend days just making each other giggle. I feel like if we weren't cast together we would still be great friends. Lucky for that because sometimes actors are difficult and ungrateful and that's the opposite of Katy.
A.C.: You've also had roles in some of our favorite movies like Office Space, Miss Congeniality 2, and The Beverly Hillbillies. Do you do anything in particular to prepare to play these characters? What have been some of your favorite on-set experiences?
D.B.: Movies are mostly out of town and are so slow to shoot, so I go a little nuts. With that said, I'm particularly proud of Office Space and Napoleon Dynamite.
The Beverly Hillbillies was a blast because of the cast. Jim Varney was a gentleman and Cloris Leachman was an absolute hoot.
A.C.: Lastly, what one piece of wisdom would you impart to your fans that you've learned from your amazing professional history?
D.B.: I would say to anyone starting out [in their career]: Don't limit yourself to what you think [people] want. Do things the way you want to do them and if it works, they'll hire you.
A.C.: So true. Thank you so much for your time, Diedrich!

COUNTY caretaker boss Mark Lillis will get his chance to convince club owners Cheshire Sport to make his position permanent on Thursday.
Lillis's ambition to become Stockport boss will have been much enhanced by Saturday's upbeat performance against Swansea.
The game may have ended in a 0-0 stalemate, but County looked a far more dangerous proposition than in recent weeks.
"All I can do right now is just get on with the job," said Lillis. "But I will be talking to our managing director Kevan Taylor on Thursday.
"If it ends up with someone else taking over next Saturday, then I'll just say good luck to them."
The club have compiled the CVs of applicants for the manager's job with interviews expected to take place this week.
After Saturday's draw County must now travel down to the Vetch Field for a second round replay a week on Tuesday.
But they could have won the tie at the first attempt with sub Stuart Barlow being twice denied by keeper Willy Gueret, first with a block when the striker was through on goal and then with a save from a low header.
But Swansea had their first chances to win the game, particularly when Lee Trundle crashed a shot on to the County crossbar.
"I was proud of the players," added Lillis, who was given the caretaker position following Sammy McIlroy's departure ten days ago.
"It was a good performance all round. As a caretaker manager you cannot ask more than having the respect of the players.
"We are in the hat and that is what is important. It's going to be very hard down there, but well be giving it a go.
"We've got players out there who are playing for the shirt."
But there will be two fewer in County shirts in tomorrow night's league game at troubled Wrexham.
Striker Warren Feeney and keeper James Spencer are both out after limping off with ankle injuries.
Lillis said he would be talking to goalkeeping coach Joe Corrigan about the possibility of bringing in back-up for Neil Cutler, who replaced Spencer.
Do you think Lillis is up to the job? Have your say.

Sinop, Turkey
Karyn Planett
Faded Glory
"The most beautiful natural harbor on the Black Sea."
Ah, such a glowing assessment as voiced again and again throughout Sinop's history, commemorated by the pen of each occupier from ancient times to the present. The Amazons, the Hittites, the Greeks, the Persians, the Ottomans have all sung its mighty praises then taken advantage of the geographic importance of this northernmost point in Turkey. Their stories, as well as their societies' remnants, form the ingredients for Sinop's allure.Through The Myths Of Time.
Sinop is draped atop an isthmus between the Bozetepe Peninsula and the mainland, once protected by a citadel whose remains can still be seen. Towering, heavily forested mountains form a natural barrier preventing easy access from Sinop to the Anatolian Plateau that defines central Turkey. So, while its natural harbor provided the means to dominate Black Sea trade, isolation from the rest of Asia Minor by land eventually led to Sinop's demise.
There is little agreement among scholars as to the founding of Sinop. The most likely first inhabitants were the Hittites. Giving credit to the Hittites, though, would spoil other more romantic theories. Young Greek sailors known as the Argonauts (of Jason and the Golden Fleece fame) were said to have established an outpost here while sailing the Black Sea in search of treasure and trouble. Another legend holds that the mists obscuring the rocks of the rising peninsula also hid the home of the Cyclops. But the favorite theory gives the founding of Sinop to the Amazons.
The Amazons?
Were they really real? A great deal of mythology and precious little hard evidence exists to answer that burning question. There were, in those many centuries ago, women warriors who may have fought with a number of different armies. Whether they ever constituted an organized society is less certain. Nonetheless, this all makes for great theater, so let's just play along.
For the record, the Amazons are credited as the first to settle Sinop, naming it after one of their queens, Sinova. The Amazons had a dual queendom—one for defense, one for domestic affairs. Several of their queens reportedly did battle with, and were killed by, Hercules. One was killed by Achilles and another was said to have borne a child to Alexander The Great. Let's hope it was a girl because no men were permitted to live in Amazon territory. To keep the tribe going, Amazon women mated for a few days each year with men from a neighboring tribe. Female children were embraced by the community. Male children were killed or, if lucky, sent away with their fathers.
City State
For much of its recorded history, Sinop was a pawn in the constant ebb and flow of various empires attempting to establish control over Asia Minor. Sinop's citizens may have owed allegiance to a string of powerful armies but, due to its topographic isolation, it was never controlled by them. Instead they went about using their geographic position to establish a rich trading business, while quietly paying taxes to whichever ruler claimed them at any given moment.
The city did have one famous citizen, Diogenes "the Cynic", who was exiled along with his father when they were caught in a counterfeiting scam. Diogenes immigrated to Athens where he became such a notable homeless person—living in a tub and carrying a lamp during the day "in search of an honest man"—he was ultimately recognized as a philosopher. His statue stands proudly in Sinop
Fast forward to more recent times, Sinop became part of the Ottoman Empire in the 15th century and had its final moment in the sun during the Crimean War when it was virtually destroyed by the Russian navy. Its neighbor to the east, Samsun, has since supplanted Sinop as the most active Black Sea port.
Ataturk And Modern Turkey
Samsun also played a significant role in the formation of modern Turkey. It was there that Mustafa Gamal Ataturk fled during the struggle for national liberation following World War I. From this base, Ataturk rallied the Turkish population to his cause, declared independence from the European powers trying to exert their influence in the post-Ottoman vacuum, and wrote the constitution that defines Turkey today.
As a secular Muslim state, Turkey once again plays a central role befitting its location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. (Sinop's Aladdin Mosque from 1268 does bear witness to the nation's main religion.) A powerful and active member of NATO on one hand, not yet a member of the European Union on the other, Turkey is beholden to neither east nor west. As such, it takes a quiet but influential diplomatic lead where other governments cannot publicly go. With one of the world's largest standing armies, with resources that give it long-term economic viability, and as one of a handful of countries able to feed itself (as evidenced in Gerze's bustling produce market), Turkey is poised to recapture some of the former glory of empires past.

Nathan Michel
Dear Bicycle CD
Dear Bicycle moves away from the lo-fi madness of Nathan Michel's acclaimed Tigerbeat6 debut, Abc Def, into calmer waters of semi-pop pleasure. Momus has described Michel's music as "very lovely, optimistic and playful sounding, always several steps ahead of habituation or boredom," while DIW called his debut "very romantic and utterly creative." Lush orchestral strings float above vocoder harmonies and disjunct piano loops. Dirty, prepared guitar solos mix with out-of-step, cheap keyboard accompaniment. Scraps of samples from sources like Patsy Cline, Bach, and Spike Jones are woven into acoustic and electronic textures. While Abc Def edits the source material to bits, Dear Bicycle often allows the sound sources to speak for themselves, unedited. Many of the songs on Dear Bicycle also feature Michel's quiet singing. His lyrics range from the pastoral imagery of "On the Monorail" and "Rings" to the profoundly ambiguous "I delight in what is right, if that is wrong I tell a little lie." The album's mix of the impersonal and formal with the nostalgic and direct is influenced as much by Robert Wyatt, Brian Eno, The Beatles, and Erik Satie as by Nobukazu Takemura, Mouse on Mars, DAT Politics, and Christian Fennesz. Nathan Michel currently lives in New Jersey where he is a Ph.D. composition fellow at Princeton. Although he has studied with many fantastic teachers over the years, including the Dutch composer Louis Andriessen, he still tries to make music the same way he did when he was just a kid - fumbling around till he finds sounds that he likes. Forthcoming projects include a track on a new Skipp Records compilation and a release of live laptop performances on the Italian label Mr. Mutt. More live shows are in the works as well.

"Soup is a lot like a family. Each ingredient enhances the others; each batch has its own characteristics; and it needs time to simmer to reach full flavour." –Marge Kennedy
During each seasonal change, our body must transition to new environmental conditions. The demand can reveal our level of health as we are tested in this change and we may become ill with colds or flus. Colds and flus are not inherently bad, as they teach and develop our immune system. But when we become ill and our immune system is weak, then we can run into trouble. To promote wellness and shift smoothly into autumn, you can make a delicious soup recipe and consume it during this time.
Change of Seasons Soup
Equal parts of the following *herbs; about 2oz (60 grams) of each herbs:
Codonopsis root
Astragalus root
Dioscorea root
Chinese lychee berries
*Herbs can be purchased at a herbal dispensary.
- Fill a large stock pot with 4-6 litres of water, add herbs and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low-medium and simmer for 2-4 hours. Reduce the liquid to half. If liquid boils down before 2 hours, add water as necessary.
- Strain out herbs with a slotted spoon or pour soup through cheesecloth or strainer. Makes 2-3 litres.
- Drink ½ litre (2 cups) per day as tea or broth, or use it as a base for soups. Keeps in fridge for 4-5 days. Half recipe for reduced amount.
From a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) perspective, fall and winter are "yin" times of the year; time for looking inward, recharging, and nurturing yourself. It is also a time of year when the lungs are vulnerable. In TCM, the lungs are responsible for the Wei Qi, a defensive energy, that protects us from colds and flus. Change of Season Soup is an immune tonic which can help balance the body during times of stress, and protects against colds and flus.
The recipe above can be made on its own, as a base for soups, or add the herbs to homemade chicken soup with other hearty and seasonal vegetables like shiitake mushroom, onions, garlic, carrots, and other root vegetables. Drink 2 cups each day for about two weeks. If you fall ill, wait until you have recovered to drink the soup.
The Health Benefit Tally
Codonopsis root: strengthens qi (energy), builds the blood to improve circulation and nourishes body fluids.
Astragalus root: strengthens the Wei qi; the immune defenses, nourishes the spleen, and tonifies the blood and lungs.
Dioscorea root: tonifies and balances the lungs and kidneys.
Chinese lychee berries: strengthen the liver and kidneys.

We stay in a society the place nearly the whole lot we contact has been altered, transformed, malformed or mutated. In his new ebook Ethics and Excellence: Cooperation and Integrity in Business, University of Texas thinker Robert C. Solomon writes that such theorizing is…completely inaccessible to the individuals for whom business ethics just isn't merely a topic of study however is (or might be) a lifestyle—students, executives, and firms." Unfortunately, educational insecurity is inflicting business ethicists to direct their work away from addressing the actual wants of managers and toward satisfying the perceived rigors of academic science in their discipline.
So, ethics could even be outlined as a set of ethical ideas or values and conduct that have an effect on every of us on a private stage. Moore, G., 2005, Humanizing Business: A Fashionable Virtue Ethics Method", Business Ethics Quarterly, 15(2): 237-255. Anglo American also goals to ensure that it plays a role in protecting the human rights of its workers and native individuals in nations through which it operates.
For example, in Business Ethics: The State of the Artwork, a latest volume of essays by main business ethicists, edited by R. Edward Freeman, College of Kansas ethicist Richard T. DeGeorge states, If in some occasion it seems that what is ethical results in an organization's demise," then so be it." A participant within the Business and Society Assessment symposium echoes this sentiment by arguing that if moral actions imply that an organization's profits are reduced, then it must settle for such a commerce-off with out regret." Managers could be onerous-pressed to not view such prescriptions as restatements of the problem, rather than as workable solutions.
Phillips, M.J., 1994, The Inconclusive Ethical Case In opposition to Manipulative Advertising", Business & Professional Ethics Journal, thirteen(four): 31-sixty four. There aren't any vanilla options," writes Bentley Faculty ethicist W. Michael Hoffman in his article, The Price of a Company Conscience." To behave ethically can cost dearly." In different phrases, ethics and interests can and do battle.

The movie Diana directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel is an enigma to me. Maybe it reflects the chaos of a life less ordinary led by someone portrayed as the world's most beautiful woman. There has always been a sense of mystery around the Royals as we mere mortals try to decide how they think, live and express the emotions of life that we battle with each day. With the life of Diana the mystery turned into conspiracy as those who loved her tried to bring sense to the senseless in her passing.
The movie written by Stephen Jeffreys is based on a book by Kate Snell that takes possibly a less known and more controversial view of Diana's private love life from the point where she is living apart from Charles. It picks up a romance with Pakistani heart surgeon Hasnat Khan played by a favourite actor of mine, Naveen Andrews. The movie infers a two year long relationship that wouldn't break and downplays the connection with Dodi Fayed, son of Harrod's store owner Mohammed Al-Fayed. For many of the public this will be a disconnect with what they thought they knew of the Princess search for romantic recovery.
For the movies sake, irrespective of the actual love interest, the story does an excellent job of taking us inside the mind of Diana in the last two years of her life. It doesn't deal head-on with the relationships with the Royal family, treating them more as the wallpaper to the story. The focus is on a woman who had the world at her feet and then felt it being pulled away. There are moments of elation and midnight hours of despair. You feel her determination, sometimes seen as manipulation and at the same time a desperate cry for help. A telling moment beautifully portrayed by Naomi Watts is when she conducts a public event, walks the barriers to say hello, shake hands and greet the children and then is taken away in her car. In a moment, the public persona of constant smiley bliss bleeds back to a tired tormented ache. Arriving back at Kensington Palace the servants are dismissed so Diana can be alone don a tracksuit and cook some baked beans.
For this reason seeing Diana is worth the insight. We find a Princess left along in Kensington Palace, sneaking out for clandestine meetings, clubbing and sneaking lovers past security in the back seat of her car. While Naomi Watts does a superb job in the acting it is always hard to embody such an iconic historic figure and hair styles and dresses aren't the only pieces of the puzzle. Seeing the movie made me realise that our eyes more than an other aspect of our make-up are a defining part of our character and the eyes of Diana were still missing.
Overall this kind of story will sometimes struggle between drama and documentary and at times it gets bogged down producing a slow, even tedious production. We are familiar with the phrase "like watching a slow moving train wreck" and for Diana this was of a similar vein. You know how the story ends with the tragedy of a car crash in the Pont de l'Alma road tunnel in Paris and yet although you know you are watching a 'slow moving car crash' you can't look away. Despite the evidence of history Naomi Watts ensures you continue to feel the pain with a hope that the movie can right some wrong. It doesn't!

She said the pair's antics will be a real treat for viewers, as our exclusive picture of them playing on a Nintendo Wii proves.
Sharon, played by Letitia Dean, 44, returned to the soap earlier this month.
In an exclusive interview with the Daily Star Sunday Jo, 34, said: "It's been absolutely amazing working with Tish.
"We got on straight away and have a great time working together.
"I love that Tanya has got a new best friend. Ever since Jane left she's been lacking in female friends and Sharon is the perfect replacement.
"It doesn't start off very well between them but once everything settles down they realise how much they have in common and they really hit it off."
She added: "It's been great fun filming all the stuff with Tish.
"We've really had the best time these last few weeks and viewers have got lots to look forward to.
"I love it when Tanya is having fun and Sharon really is her perfect mate."
Jo joined EastEnders in 2006 as Max Branning's wife. And since that time she has been involved in some of the soap's biggest storylines.
Tanya gave birth to their third child before discovering Max's affair with his son's wife Stacey Slater.
She then buried him alive but had a change of heart and rescued him before it was too late.
She went on to marry lovable builder Greg Jessop but then embarked on a passionate affair with Max. Tanya and Max officially got back together last Christmas after she finally told her family she was suffering from cervical cancer.
And, after everything they've been through, Jo would not be happy if Max was revealed to be Kat Moon's secret lover – a storyline that has had EastEnders fans gripped for months.
She said: "We don't know who it is but I would hate it if it was Max.
"He's done it before and has form but I really don't know. We're all in the dark.
"No one knows who it is. We've all been guessing and trying to figure it out but they're not giving anything away."
Jo, who is the mum of twins, also spoke of her decision to take extended leave from the hit BBC 1 soap.
She will start a six-month break next May after negotiating the time off with new boss Lorraine Newman. And she said she is looking forward to spending more time with her two-year-old twins Freddie and Edie.
She said: "I only took six months when I first had the kids and was very envious of everyone taking a year.
"But this way I'm still getting my six months – just before they start nursery – which is really nice.
"We're hoping to move back to the countryside as I'm a real country girl at heart and I want to spend as much time with the kids as I can.
"It's a little while off yet and I have no idea how they're going to write me out but I will be back."
She added: "I love playing Tanya and can't wait to find out what's coming up.
"All I know is there's a big secret that's going to come out at Christmas and it will affect the entire Branning family.
It's huge and the fans will be shocked."

Is it worth using biofuels to replace petroleum fuel?
Biofuels, such as corn ethanol and biodiesel, have become a popular topic in the media and among scientists and entrepreneurs. Whereas government mandates increasing use of biofuels for transportation, and farmers and businesses invest to increase production, there is intense discussion among scientists whether biofuels is truly a worthy cause that reduces the net use of nonrenewable energy and lowers carbon emissions. A recent article in Chemical and Engineering News, "The Cost of Biofuels" (C&E News, December 12, 2007, page 12), presented two opposing views. Two more recent articles in Science (Searchinger et al., and Fargione et al., February 7, 2008 issue) that estimate whether increased use of biofuels causes net increase or decrease in greenhouse gas emissions illustrate further how opposite conclusions can be obtained depending on what factors are included in the consideration. For example, if only energy used in the production and processing of corn grain to ethanol is considered, ethanol use results in little or no benefit to carbon emission. Including the animal feed byproducts that are also produced and crediting the energy saved for their substitution of animal feed that otherwise would have been produced, ethanol use results in net reduction in carbon emissions and energy saving. But if increased ethanol production is to be achieved by changing land use, particularly converting forest land, rain forest, and grassland to cropland, the land conversion releases the stored carbon in the soil and diminishes carbon uptake, incurring a carbon debt that takes decades to recover. The argument applies to use of biodiesel as well. In other words, in the short run, the increased use of bioifuels causes a net increase in carbon emission that takes years to recover.
In February, 2008, the students in a class (Sustainability, Technology and Society) taught by Professor Kung were asked to study the C&E News article, then choose two points of argument to analyze to either support or oppose the view of beneficial biofuel usage. Of the 25 students in the class, 19 chose to write opposing arguments, 4 in favor, and 2 undecided. The main points used for opposing arguments include: undesirable land use changes and insufficient fertile land, net energy loss, food-fuel competition leading to higher food prices, net increase in greenhouse gas emission by including NOx emission from fertilizer used and volatile organic compound emission in dry mill processing, and more beneficial use of subsidy for research and development of other technologies.
H. Kung, Feb 19, 2008.
