Demon King Bali had conquered the three worlds the devtas were no match for this powerful Asur king so they requested Lord Vishnu to help them out .Lord vishnu disguised himself as Vamana small brahmin boy and approached King Bali while he was performing a yagna ,he asked King Bali for three steps of land ,the demon king readily agreed for this but the demon guru shukracharya saw through the design of Lord Vishnu,therefore he tried to dissuade King Bali but could not make him to agree so he blocked the spout of water vessel of King Bali, Vaman the vishnu avataar took out a sharp blade of grass to clear the obstruction. As he poked towards the pot's spout, the blade of the grass destroyed one of Shukracharya's eyes, and this is the reason why Shukracharya is seen to have one eye ever since.
With the obstacle successfully removed and the ritual over, it was time for the Vaman to take his 3 strides worth of land. But suddenly, the vaman boy's size started to increase in size until no one could see his head anymore. In one stride, he took both the netherworld/hell and the earth, and in the 2nd stride, he took heaven. Then Vaman avataar of Vishnu Ji turned around towards Bali and asked "Now where do I put my 3rd foot?" Bali offered his own head for the vaman jis third stride.

An art educator friend of mine pinned the following video on Pinterest and I can't quit watching.
It is short. It is powerful.
Watch. Digest. Support.
At one of my buildings we will have a new Principal in the fall. I was lucky enough to meet and go through a conference/workshop with him and a few others from my building. Something he said struck me, "We are educating kids for jobs that don't even exist yet." While I have heard this before, for some reason it stuck with me when he said it. Perhaps it was because my mind was exploding from all the Making Thinking Visual learning I was doing - but yes! Yes! We are educating kids for jobs that don't yet exist.
So yes - "normal" things are needed - reading, writing, math, history, science and so forth. It is all needed and important. I am a huge advocator of well rounded educations - I choose a liberal arts college (Go Norse!) Anyhow, I strongly feel that while we need to teach the basics of these subjects and encourage kids to grow further and further - I also feel that we are desperately missing a huge section of education. Where is the education on helping kids learn how to think, how to problem solve, work together, try again and again when something doesn't work out right? This is where Making Thinking Visual and Arts education need to be emphasized and encouraged.
While kids need concrete quantifiable skills for the real world - they also need things like perseverance, problem solving, critical thinking, the ability to work productively in a group - giving and taking constructive criticism. Students need to know how to write and speak, but they also need to be able to have innovative ideas.
Kids need an education system that is aimed at giving kids skills they can use to adapt to the work environment. Jobs today are not what they were 20 or even 40 years ago -- the same goes for the future. Kids need an education system that provides them with the opportunity to think and to reason - not to memorize and report (while there is some basic need for this, as some skills need to be mastered - it can't all be feeling and thinking).
I honestly believe that an arts based or arts integrated education is the way to get this accomplished. Is it the only way - probably not, but I feel it is the most natural and non-forced way to achieve this. One of my schools is arts integration - we don't plan connections, but rather provide opportunities for connections. Students and teachers make organic connections between disciplines which then provides for a wider and deeper understanding of subjects - which often leads to other connections and deeper questions. It is a beautiful thing.

In cooperation with the K8 Staff, the PTSA sets up and provides funding for:
- Guest Speakers (author visits)
- In class outreach programs (Denver Zoo, The Science and Nature museum)
- Field Trip Buses
- All school assemblies
To do this the PTSA uses funds from grants, membership dues, various fundraisers and direct donations to grade specific Classroom Enrichment Funds.
The Classroom Enrichment Fund is money that parents donate to a specific Grade. For example if you have a student in first grade you can donate money to the First Grade Enrichment Fund. The money you donate is then used by the first grade teacher to pay for a guest speakers or an outreach program to come into the classroom and give a presentation. Each grade has its own Enrichment Fund and the money collected for each grade can only be used for that specific grade. A Letter will be sent home at the beginning of the year to give parents an opportunity to donate to their child's specific grade's Enrichment Fund.
If you have questions please contact Maria McVey at email@example.com
To make your payment for the Classroom Enrichment Fund, please make your donation here:
Thank you for your support!

Business Consulting – Business Consulting that Helps With Fleet Management
Using Business Consulting with Fleet Management
This article covers how business consulting can help with fleet management.
If you own or run a company that uses vehicles, then you are familiar with the term fleet. When you have a company that uses fleet, whether it is for deliveries or just everyday transportation, there are worries on the expense that it causes. In this article we will take a closer look at business consulting firms that specialize in fleet management.
A fleet management business consulting firm can provide many ways to save when it comes to fleet. They can show you where the most revenue is being lost due to fleet as well as how to improve fuel efficiency. They can also help maintain a higher uptime of the vehicles. Many companies use vehicles in their daily routine and the amount of money that is lost due to poor maintenance or inefficient fuel use can be saved.
One company that we are all familiar with is the United Postal Service. UPS delivers packages world-wide. The company consulted a fleet management business consulting firm and learned how to save hundreds of thousands of dollars using a simple technique. The consultant advised them that making less left-hand turns would result in saving on fuel. They now have a program that sends all trucks on routes using right-hand turns.
Business Consulting can help your fleet in many ways
Something like that shows that while some ideas may be huge, and seems hard to carry out, they can be achieved. Who would have thought that making less left-hand turns would save so much money? Maybe UPS have thought of many ways to save on fuel, but nothing seemed to work. Having someone come in with expertise in fleet, helped save the company from a huge loss.
As stated above, many companies rely on the use of fleet to make their company run smoothly. If the company is suffering major losses due to the fleet, then they have to find a way to fix the problem. Higher prices in the fleet could cause the customer to pay higher prices for products, which could make the company suffer greatly. If the fleet is the issue, fleet management business consulting would be the perfect solution.

Spring Training Battlewatch: March 9, 2009
In a game that Alfonso Soriano called a "must win" (with a wink), the Cubs ended a billion game losing streak. In Spring Training. The battles:
- Mike Fontenot continued to perform significantly better than Aaron Miles. Fontenot went 2-3 with a homer and a walk. Miles, playing short and third (telling?), went 1-3.
- Micah Hoffpauir, playing a little right and first, went 2-4 with a double. The bench situation, however, gets more complicated by the day.
- The Bako also went 2-4, and Joey Gathright scored three times. Double grumble.
- Chad Gaudin started, and had something of a redeeming outing (against the Royals, mind you). Two scoreless innings, one hit, no walks, one K.
- Jeff Samardzija followed Gaudin with three innings: one earned run, two hits, and a couple of strikeouts.

Remco, thanks for posting the pictures.
The caption in picture 25 should probably read "Traffic Operators in the Chinatown Exchange in San Francisco".
Thank you!
Very nice presentation!
I agree with your comment that picture 59 (560-type keyset) belongs in the 1950s – announced in 1955.
Also, the CS Long Lines cable ship in picture 73 was launched in 1963. (Singing Wires, June 2016, page 3)
Wonderful collection. I followed the technology from about age 5, on. Ended up working for PT&T from 1976 to 2001.
Excellent! Thank you!
BTW in the photo about lead cable you caption it "Western Electric cable plant. Women inspection of leader covered cable." I thin you mean "lead-covered cable."
Very Nice, Thanks for taking the time to post them for everyone to see.
Thanks, I enjoyed these very much!
I have always thought that first voice transmission quotation had been sanitized!
These 81 photographs are incredable. Thank you for making them available to us. All of you at JKL are wonderful. Remco, special thanks !
Job well done , thanks

Getting your proposal on Startme just right will be crucial to you being successful with your fundraising campaign. Levels of contribution, attractive rewards, the logistics of creating and delivering the rewards and engaging with potential funders will all be part of this process. As with everything, preparation is first step to being successful and effective at what you are hoping to do. So let's look at a few of the steps with some useful examples of how to prepare effectively for your first StartMe project.
Almost all the suggestions here are based on real examples of entrepreneurs who have been very successful at raising the funds they needs, in some cases raising far more than what they first intended.
Step I: Preparation
(1) Create a detailed outline for the final product; you won't necessarily be sharing all these details at the beginning, but it will give you enough information that you will be able to answer questions and give potential funders a firm idea of where the project is headed. More importantly, this will help you decide what parts of the project (if any) are negotiable and open to input and feedback from funders.
Insider access and input are the most important things you're selling to your funders, so give this very careful thought. You absolutely have to be up front and clear about which decisions have already been made and which are open to negotiation. The more input funders get, the more interest you'll be able to drum up for the project — but don't promise more than you're willing to deliver.
(2) Figure out a reasonable production schedule, complete with benchmarks for starting and ending major phases of the project. Be warned that the more access and input your funders have, the more drawn out the schedule will become; a good rule of thumb is that any stage where they have input will take approximately twice as long as it normally would. (Seriously, my single biggest mistake was underestimating how much this could stretch out the process; the phrase "herding cats" comes to mind, especially at the earliest stages.)
Ideally, you'll set your schedule with enough padding that you can consistently stay ahead of deadlines; if you under-promise and over-deliver, you keep your funders happy.
(3) Calculate a comprehensive budget, including fair payment for freelancers (yourself included!), printing and shipping costs, overhead for your website, etc. Once complete, figure out how much of that budget you can afford to put up yourself and how much you'll need to raise on StartMe.
It is advisable that you plan to put up approximately half of the total costs yourself with a StartMe project; Remember that "half the total costs" might include your own unpaid labour in addition to or instead of actual up-front capital.
The reason you should plan to put up half the costs yourself is that you want the fundraising goal to be as low as possible; StartMe statistics show that 90% of projects that reach 30% of their goal are successful (i.e. reaching 100% or more by the deadline). Given this, you want to do everything possible to hit that 30% "tipping point" as early as possible, and the lower you can set the final fundraising goal, the better your odds of doing so. (Obviously, there is a trade-off here: You absolutely cannot set your fundraising goal even one cent less than you really need to complete the project as promised and on schedule.)
There is one critical component of your budget that you can't plan with 100% accuracy ahead of time: the cost of rewards for your funders. Lets look at an example of rewards and the related funds:
Invest R100 and get - An investor only grand opening of the brewery. Free Boerewors roll. Plus a brewery tour by the brew master.
Invest R500 and get - Beer bottle opener +everything above
Invest R1000 and get - 1 large bottle of limited edition founders lager. +everything above
Invest R5000 and get Get your name on the wall of founders. +everything above
Invest R1000 and get Brew with the Brewer, do some tastings of the local beers. +everything above
Invest R25 000 and get 5 Course Brewery dinner, professionally prepared with beer pairings for you and 3 of your friends. +everything above
Invest R50 000 and get 5% share of the business... that's right, big money brings in bigger returns. You hit this point you get 10% of the company +everything above
Invest R100 000 and get Consult and name your own beer in the main, seasonal line of beer. +everything above
Invest R150 000 and get Consult and name your own beer. We'll even put your face on it. +everything above
Invest R300 000 and get Free beer for life at the brewery beer pub for yourself. +everything above
If you get 500 supporters at the R100 level, you have no real cost to deliver your rewards.
If you instead have 200 supporters at the R5000 (name on the wall) level, you're going to have to have quite a large wall.
If you instead have 10 investors donating R50 000 in exchange for the 5% you are offering then all of a sudden you have very little of your own business left. So think carefully about these rewards.
See how that works? Depending on what reward levels people choose, your ultimate costs can fluctuate dramatically. Plan and budget for the worst-case scenario (just to be on the safe side); realistically, you'll probably find that a very high percentage of your funders will choose the higher reward levels (whose rewards are abstract and free for you to provide), but it's hard to predict exact levels of demand for the rewards. Always remember that you will have to deliver on these rewards in the near future.
(4) Figure out your marketing campaign to sell the idea. This needs to be every bit as developed as you would do for a finished product:
Think of what you would write on the back cover (basically a one-sentence hook that leads into a 75- to 100-word elevator pitch). Use the opening pitch to lead into a 500- to 1000-word detailed description of the project, its goals, and what a investor gets in exchange for their early contribute. Find a good place (near the top) to sell yourself as well; potential funders need to have confidence in your abilities, and highlighting your experience can help make this happen.
You'll need a good logo and artwork to really sell the professionalism of the project. (This is one place you have to sink in some significant time and/or money ahead of time.)
On your website, you'll also need more detailed information, a FAQ, and (ideally) message boards. Elsewhere, get all your social media stuff (Facebook fan page, Twitter, etc.) set up. You want everything in place to allow for you to actively engage with potential funders from the very beginning; early and consistent engagement is the single most important thing you can do.
Finally — and I can't emphasize this enough — you need an introductory video. It needs to be short and to the point, and it should establish a personal connection that helps potential funders get to know you.
Step II: Establish the StartMe Project Details
(5) Decide on the start and end dates for the fundraising drive. Last year, I recall reading on the StartMe blog that projects with a duration of around 30 days seem to have the highest success rate. If you go too short, some potential funders might not be able to contribute because they don't happen to have enough free money (and they don't have enough time to save up for it). If you go too long, you risk the project losing momentum; discussions might fade out, people might put it off for next month and then forget about it, and so forth. A length between 30 and 45 days is probably best.
When you pick your ending date, give some thought to how much people have available at a given time of the month or day of the week. Personally, I would recommend having the project end in the second half of the month, preferably on a Friday or Saturday night. Lots of people get paid twice a month (e.g. the 1st and 15th), and the first paycheck is often earmarked for major bills such as paying the mortgage or rent. People who get paid every week or every two weeks very commonly get paid on a Friday (not all the time, but often), so you want to have the deadline come at a time when they're more likely to have a little extra money.
I recommend setting the deadline on a Friday or Saturday night for another reason as well: You will get a lot of last-minute contributions, so you want to make sure the deadline is at a time when the majority of potential funders have the opportunity to do so (i.e. awake and not working) just before the project ends. Some don't want to get emotionally invested in the project until they know it's going to be successful, and some might just want to sit on the idea until the last minute.
(6) Decide on your reward levels for funders. This is a critical phase, and it's probably the easiest to mess up; take your time to consider things as holistically as possible. (a) Your lowest-level rewards should require a contribute of no more than R200 (and preferably no more than R100). For example, a An investor only grand opening of the brewery. Free Boerewors roll.
(b) The lowest levels should have minimum contributions equal to the purchase price of pre-ordering the finished product. For example, you might have a R100 An investor only grand opening of the brewery with a Free Boerewors roll, and a R500 contribute for a Beer bottle opener. In addition, they should get some basic insider information during the project, such as frequent updates, sneak peeks. Finally, it's nice for these early funders to get their rewards before the product goes on sale to the general public; it doesn't have to be much earlier (e.g. maybe a week), but a little bit goes a long way toward making funders feel that they're getting special treatment and that their early support is appreciated.
(c) The mid-level tiers should begin to focus on exclusives (e.g. a hardcover edition only for funders, autographed copies, etc.) and greater degrees of access. As you go up to higher minimum contributions, try to think of intangible rewards that are relatively easy for you to provide but that give the funders special treatment that makes it worth the extra money. For example, autographing the book is free and it's a nice touch. Similarly, rewarding these funders with a vote on major items doesn't cost any extra money on your part (but it does take time, so plan your schedule accordingly).
(d) The higher-level tiers should offer particularly special exclusives such as the get your name on the wall of founders and nominate ideas for their own flavours of lager. These tiers should usually be limited in number; first, you don't want to end up with a "too many chefs in the kitchen" situation, and second, the fact that they are exclusive and limited will encourage people to make these higher contributions early. High-level rewards also have a secondary function: They provide contrast that shows how good a bargain you get at the lower- and mid-level tiers. Sometimes, all someone needs to talk themselves into making a purchase is to see a more expensive option that they can reject, allowing them to feel like they're being frugal and not wasting money on unnecessary extravagance.
Of course, a lot of people want to feel like they're buying the best of the best, and they don't mind putting up a little extra in exchange for special treatment. For them, the lower-level tiers provide a nice contrast that shows how special the higher-level tiers are.
(e) Consider including at least a few ultra-high-level reward levels that are very limited in number. For example free beer for life at the brewery beer pub. There are lots of variations you can play with here. For example, one idea I saw was to have the designer personally deliver the product to the VIP investor and even run a complete adventure for the investor's gaming group. Obviously, you have to set this contribute high enough to pay for your travel and lodging plus enough extra for it to be worth the extra time on your part, but I'm sure that this idea could sell.
(7) Do a soft launch for the project on your website and via social media at least 30 days before you start the actual StartMe project. You want to get the word out and get people interested and talking before you start the fundraising drive itself. At this stage, you'll need to be able to tell people firm dates for the start and end of the StartMe drive, reward levels for funders, and so forth; use your own website as the central location for this because you won't have a StartMe page to send people to until later.
Go to any message boards you frequent to post about the project (but don' spam — if you don't regularly post somewhere, don't announce in that forum). Include links to the project in your message board profile and signature.
There are plenty of other websites and blogs that might be interested, so don't be shy about getting in touch with them to tell them about the project (perhaps as a formal press release).
Get all your friends and colleagues on board; the more voices you can get talking about the project, the better your odds will be.
(8) Do frequent Google searches (or set up a Google alert) to find people talking about the project; you'd be surprised how many different places you'll find. When you find blogs or forums discussing your project, always post a reply. Be exceedingly polite and patient in answering questions, addressing concerns, and — most importantly — being understanding and complementary toward people who don't like the project or aren't interested.
(9) When using social media, make sure you don't ever come across as spamming. Facebook fan page updates shouldn't be more than 1-2 times per day at the very most; similarly, make sure no more than 20-30% of your Twitter activity is devoted to promoting or discussing the project.
Make sure you have something new to say each time; don't just remind people over and over again about the project. As you engage with potential funders, you'll get some good discussions going; when this happens, use social media to get other people in on the conversation. This keeps it fresh and gets more people engaged.
The only times you should risk posting more frequently are just as the StartMe phase is starting and in the last 2-3 days before it ends. At this point, a few extra reminders about the project are understandable and expected, so your fans and followers will forgive you for the extra posts at these critical points.
(10) Based on feedback you receive during the soft launch, be prepared to tweak your sales pitch; you'll find a lot of things that don't quite get the idea across, and this is a good chance to make adjustments and find good material for your FAQ.
In addition, you might want to add some additional reward levels, shorten or extend your fundraising period, and so forth. A lot of these details can't be changed once you launch the StartMe project, so this might be your last chance to make any final adjustments.
Step IV: StartMe Launch (11) Stay engaged. Continue everything you were doing during the soft launch, but make sure you direct people to the StartMe project page directly instead of sending them only to your website. The fewer clicks someone has to do to make a contribution, the higher your conversion rate will be.
(12) Add a StartMe widget to your website and any message board posts where you have announced the project. Once the project is live, this widget can be used to provide a direct link to the project along with its current status (number of contributions, funding level, % of goal achieved, and number of days remaining).
This is a very useful tool — don't overlook it.
(13) Post frequent updates on StartMe itself, following all the same rules as for social media (i.e. make sure you have something new to say, preferably a topic or question that will get people more engaged). An update 1-2 times a week usually seems about right. You also have the option to post updates that are visible only to people that have already made a contribution; use it when needed (especially when you're making the final push as the deadline approaches), but don't overdo it.
Keep a close watch on comments and questions posted by potential and current funders on the StartMe project; I don't think you automatically receive notifications of these, so you need to stay on top of it yourself.
Seriously, don't worry too much about the contributions (or the lack thereof) on any given day. In my experience, the fundraising breaks down into four distinct phases:
(a) During the first quarter of the fundraising period, you'll see a nice initial burst of activity (especially in the first few days). These earliest funders will often be your most important supporters, and many of them will actively promote your project to others. Show them your gratitude in as many ways as you can.
Ideally, you'll reach that 30% tipping point (making you 90% likely to be successful ultimately) during this stage, but don't worry too much if you don't.
(b) During the second and third quarters of the fundraising period, things will slow down. The early adopters have already made contributions, and during this long middle you should get a slow but steady trickle of new contributions. Your biggest challenge during this period is keeping people excited and engaged; stay active, pitch ideas, and get them talking as much as you can.
(c) During the final quarter of the fundraising period, things will pick up again. A lot of people get their last pay check before the deadline within this last week, so this is their first chance to make a contribute (and to be certain that they won't have to back out of it). As the number of contributions increases in the final quarter, the activity will begin snowballing as people become surer that the project is going to make it to its goal.
(d) Somewhere along the way — maybe early, maybe late — you will be right on the threshold of reaching your goal. When this happens, be prepared for another surge of new contributions; it's something of a bandwagon effect. I suspect that many people don't want to get their hopes up for the project, and once it crosses this line (or gets very close), they're willing to emotionally invest in it and make a contribute.
In fact, many of your earlier funders will even increase their original contributions as you get close to the goal; once it's that close, they decide to help push it over the top because they really want to see it succeed.
(15) Once the deadline hits, you'll be busy for a few days doing stuff like sending out information requests via StartMe (e.g. so you know where to send the final product), but make sure you take the time to thank everyone for their support. They deserve the credit for making it happen, so be humble, gracious, and thankful to them for all their hard work.
As the project goes forward, obviously, you'll need to keep them engaged as the real work begins; try to update StartMe with the latest news every now and then. This ensures that all of your funders receive the update because not everyone will check your website regularly.
Don't be surprised if a large number of your funders turn out to be relatively quiet during the post-fundraising period; a fairly small portion of them (maybe 20%) will turn out to be the most active and vocal, but don't misinterpret the relative quietness of the other 80% as an indication of disinterest or disapproval. They'll speak up when they need to, so make sure they always know how to get in touch with you when necessary (e.g. using the messaging feature on StartMe if nothing else).
These tips are all useful for you to consider when creating your first StartMe project. Once you have gone through the process and are posting your second project (for some) you may be much better prepared for what is to come. In the meantime learn from what we have experienced, make your proposal interesting and exciting and try to view the opportunity through the eyes of the in

Casing the Catty
I loved the recent holiday catalogue and was inspired by many projects in it. The following two cards were cased from pages 14 and 15 with a few subtle changes.
This card was cased from page 27, with a slight change to the banner.
Lastly, this is my version of the card on page 11, however it is not a shaker card like the one in the catalogue.

Below is a baker's box I made in one of my upline classes, which is almost the same as the boxes on page 63 of the Stampin Up catalogue. I used the "All boxed up" stamp set for the sentiment and "Dotty Angles" stamp set for the dots on the box. The rest of the items used were from the "All boxed up kit"

University of Chicago Professor Emeritus Marvin Zonis had harsh words for this year's slate of presidential candidates, including the incumbent, as he touched on the geo-political and economic hot spots for 2012.
"It's a disgrace that these are the choices we have," Zonis said, blasting both President Barack Obama as well as the Republicans vying to be the president's opponent in the general election.
Slide Show: 10 Elections Wall Street Will Be Watching in 2012
Zonis made that comment in a speech on geo-political risks at this year's IMCA New York Consultants Conference, which had 850 attendees. "The essence of 2012," Zonis said, is "lots of political instability one way or another." He pointed to 11 nations that will be electing new presidents this year—a group of countries that represents 50.2% of the world's gross domestic product by purchasing power parity per capita.
Meanwhile, two other global strategists who spoke following Zonis, focused more on the United States, saying that another recession in the near term seems unlikely.
Zonis called President Obama's economic numbers "staggeringly" bad numbers that would normally hurt an incumbent's election chances—ranging from high unemployment, a rising poverty rate, increased inflation and a bigger deficit and gas prices that have gone up. But the Republican choices don't appear to offering a better alternative. He mentioned Mitt Romney and called Rick Santorum "the defeated senator from Pennsylvania." Of former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Zonis said: "we have Newt who ran in South Carolina against the Washington elites. I've never met anyone who was more of a Washington elite."
Zonis called for Washington politicians to cut entitlement programs.
As for the rest of the world, Zonis said, China will become stuck in a middle-income track. And the Eurozone, he said, is "over as we know it. Greece will drop out." But the result, he said, will be a stronger euro against the dollar.
But the United States has short-term problems that can only be solved with real leadership, Zonis said, pointing to what he called "the real unemployment rate" of more than 19%. The American public, suffering under economic contraction, is angry, fearful, anxious and mistrustful to the point that there is "a wave of rage in the U.S. that is unprecedented in my lifetime." All that will lead to political instability, he said, pointing to a contentious election in the fall.
Another area with lots of instability will be the continuing maelstrom in the Middle East. "Civil is rapidly coming to Syria," Zonis said, calling Syrian President Bashar al-Assad a "son-of-a-bitch." Meanwhile, Egypt and the rest of the Middle East will become more dominated by Islamists but there may be less terrorism as the populations of those countries become more comfortable expressing their religious orthodoxy
As for Iran, he said, "my own view is that [it] will not develop a nuclear weapon" because there will be too many repercussions from the international community.
Russia "will be fine economically" even if Vladimir Putin is reelected but Zonis noted that $83 billion in capital fled the country last year.
Zonis wasn't all doom and gloom. He believes the U.S. will see "some fairly robust growth" in three to five years and that technological advancements will drive the economy as well. The U.S. is spending more than $450 billion in research and development, he said. Plus, the lower 48 states will invest in developing shale as a cheaper source of energy and dramatically diminish the amount of oil the U.S. imports.
Zonis also said that several Asian and African nations such as Bangladesh and even Angola are on the rise. And in Latin America, he said that Mexico "will get on top of its drug problem" and that it is seeing its population growth stabilize.
In the session following the remarks by Zonis, Milton Ezrati, a partner at Lord Abbett & Co., and Jonathan Golub, a managing director and U.S. equities strategist at UBS, offered their outlook.
"We are, in many respects, in the same boat as last year," said Ezrati, who sees some opportunities along with the risks. But he doesn't see a recession in the U.S. "In 2010 and 2011, we had double-dip scares," he said. "The double-dip guys are 0 for 2."
More important, Ezrati believes the housing market, while not great, is showing some signs of stability.
Golub believes the big question is about "readjusting expectations."

|Half Baths
|1,800 sq ft
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
Pokomoke is a classic cottage sitting in a private location on Sebago Lake. Every room in the house looks out to the beautiful views of Sebago Lake. Two queen bedrooms upstairs and a futon in the living room sleep six in the main house. The main house has a full bath upstairs. The lake cabin has a queen and a twin (no bathroom). The woods cabin has one queen and two twins and a half bathroom. The kitchen has all the amenities of home. Phone, internet and TV keep you in touch with the outside world (if you want to keep in touch). The grounds around the main house and cabins are level great for games, lounging in the hammock or sitting by the firepit. A flight of stairs lead you down the hill to the dock and a pebble beach. The water at the dock is deep most times of the year. Sebago is controled by a dam and occasionally water levels can vary. A mooring is available for a boat tie up at night. Pokomoke can accommodate 10-12 guests however, it lies in a quiet neighborhood and it has classic beauty both of which need to be respected. Pokomoke has been in the same family for nearly 1oo years.
Pokomoke is owned by a family that has owned it for many years. The original family members were active in starting a children's camp on Sebago Lake.
Pokomoke is in a unique location it is quiet, serene and natural. Sebago is a lake large enough that there is always somewhere to go or explore. The fishing is great!
Fishing, sailing, water skiiing, wakeboarding, wake surfing, boating, hiking, biking, golfing, and many other activities!
There's something for everyone in our family at Pokomoke. The view of the lake from the main house, and the two cabins, is breathtaking. Plenty of room for several people to relax on the dock while enjoying the lake. Sebago Lake is huge, and perfect for swimming, sailing, skiing, etc. We enjoy the seclusion of Pokomoke, while being close to restaurants and grocery stores. The main house is laid out well... adults and children may have separate common areas when desired. We have enjoyed Pokomoke for years, and look forward to our next time there.
Pokomoke was just what we hoped for but I do think the website description could be more transparent and helpful. We loved the property and the privacy. The dogs loved it too! One thing to keep in mind- the steps are steep and long to the lake from the houses so not great for older guests to navigate often. The two cabins were rustic and wonderful but important to understand that you need to walk to another building to go to the bathroom. IN the main house there are two private bedrooms on the second floor. The first floor has a lot of seating and places for additional people to sleep- but there is no privacy- and no bathroom on the first floor. One shower on the premises and two toilets. Not at all a deal breaker in my opinion, but better to know up front.
It was such a pleasure staying at Pokomoke! The house was such a treasure, we felt like we had stepped into a piece of history, warm and inviting, it felt like home! Perfect weather, plenty of space for our family and friends, and such a lovely setting. We met the sunrise each morning from our bedroom, what a treat! Sandra was very pleasant to work with, she answered all of our questions and set us at ease. I highly recommend this house, you will love it too.
It was perfect for our family! We enjoyed the large living space, great views and each other! A great spot for locals wishing to have a family reunion or folk from far away looking for maine rustic with all the conveniences.
This property completely fullfilled our expectations for a large group who desired a relaxing, comfortable stay on Sebago. The house is tastefully decorated in characteristic Maine Cabin charm complete with a few creaky flooboards, wooden walls and more. The views of the lake from the house interior are spectacular and can be seen from virtually every room.
Our group consisted of 5 couples; my wife and I and our 2 close friends and our 3 grown children and their significant others. The sleeping arrangements worked out very well for all of us. Our friends used the futon in the family room and said that it was very comfortable. Our kids almost fought over who would sleep in the cabins.
The living room and family room/ dining area are much larger and accomodating than the pictures suggest. We were all able to eat together at the 2 tables in the main dining area which was important for us and we enjoyed many evenings playing cards, dominos and other games together at these tables. The fire pit was fantastic and the dock offered a large enough area for all of us to enjoy time together either sitting or swimming. The stairs down to the shoreline were "challenging" (all 54 of them) but we welcomed the exercise to offset all the food and snackin' we did during the week.
My wife and I and our family have been vacationing in the Sebago Lakes region for more than 25 years but this is our 1st year on Sebago. This lake is so much clearer and cleaner than many others weve been on. The western shore is also much quieter and less populated than the east side which made this property that much nicer. Thank you for a lot of great memories!!
The coziness of the rental was wonderful. The home has been in the family for quite some time and has a real cabin feel. Our party of 8 had plenty of room to share meals, watch sports, and most importantly enjoy the lake. Although it was 54 steps down to the dock, it was so lovely there. If we were not out on the boat, we spent the day on the dock, soaking up the sun and swimming off the dock. Our lab was in heaven! This rental also has two additional buildings which sleeps a total of 5/6 more people. Our family that stayed in these cabins enjoyed the privacy and found the accommodations clean and comfortable. The best seafood we had was a short drive to Cornish at a place called Bar Harbour 2 Lobster Pound. So many seafood options that were fresh and super delicious. Go early as the wait can be over an hour. Grocery shopping was convenient. A 10 minute ride to Hannefords. We just found this spot perfect for all our needs.
Property is located off the beaten path but within in 15 minutes of being in the middle of Windham, Maine which has many chain stores or heading toward Naples, Maine a busy area full of tourist attractions. This area is an outdoor lover's paradise. Hiking trails are on many nearby mountains including: Douglas Mountain, Bald Pate Mountain, Hacker's Hill, and Rattlesnake Mountain. Fishing Sebago's crystal clear water is great any season. Lake trout, large & small mouth bass, salmon, pike and many other varieties of fish call Sebago Lake home. Sebago is Maine's second largest lake 8 miles wide by 10 miles long. It is connected to Long Lake and Brandy Pond by the Songo River (Songo Locks) for over 40 miles of continuous waterway. It is definitely a boater's paradise!

Types Of Insurance For Shoe Stores
Shoe stores have more than one business risk to be concerned about, so your shoe store insurance Texas policy should be able to accommodate all those risks. Below are some the most common shoe insurance coverages:
General Liability - General liability is a coverage that protects you from problems caused by harm to your customers or their property. If a customer injures themselves while inside your store, you could be held legally liable for their medical care costs. If the customer's purse is stolen on your premises or their car is damaged while parked in front of your shoe store, you can also be held liable. General liability pays the customer's damages.
Commercial Property - With business property coverage as an integral part of your shoe store business insurance, you have a way to make the necessary repairs to your building and replace anything that is destroyed in case there is a fire, severe snowstorm, water damage or other damages.
Workers Compensation - Should an employee become injured while on the job, TX workers comp will protect you and your business from having to pay for the damages, medical costs and loss of wages that an employee suffers. If the employee dies as a result of the injury, it can pay funeral expenses and support payments to the deceased employee's survivors. It's also a good idea because most states mandate workers compensation for any non owner or partner employees.
TX Business Auto - This is coverage for the cost of any damages to your business vehicle, as well as injuries to other drivers and damages that other vehicles may suffer in the event of an accident with your business auto.
Utility Interruption Loss of Income - Coverage for loss of income caused by the necessary suspension of your business due to failure of communications, water, natural gas, or electrical service to the TX premises.
Signs - Coverage for accidental direct physical loss to signs attached to buildings (whether indoor or outdoor) and to outdoor signs not attached to buildings at the described premises owned by you or in your care, custody or control.
Footwear Store Insurance Considerations
There are a number of options for you to choose from when taking out a shoe store insurance Texas policy, and the specific coverages and endorsements of your insurance will depend on your footwear shop's circumstances. No two businesses are the same, so no footwear shops will have exactly the same insurance requirements. It's always important to ensure you properly understand the extent of any coverage that you take out, so that you can make sure you're protected against everyday risks.
TX Shoe Store Insurance
When you open your doors to customers each day, your business will be exposed to financial risks. Accidents, injuries, slips, trips, and falls can all wind up costing you hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal bills. Employee accidents could lead to workers comp claims. Thieves could steal thousands of dollars in expensive inventory from your store. Ensure you have footwear store insurance coverage to mitigate these risks.

In this crappy economy, we have to rely on every penny. Gone are the days of expensive vacations, meals out seven days a week, being a mall groupie, checking out latest fashions at Forever 21 and drooling over clothing that we wished we could fit in, or heck even clothes we squeeze ourselves into, and buying expensive new technology because it looks cool and because we want to fit in more than anything -- individuality be damned. Now we're lucky if we can scrap up enough change to hit the dollar special at Mickey D's.
Everything has gone up in price, especially gas, and money just doesn't stretch as much it as used to. Now, the little luxuries seem like a distant dream. Surging on useless crap is a thing of the past.
Before the economy dropped and I became just another 26-year-old dependent on her daddy for movie money, I had dreams, big dreams, to travel through Europe and move to New York to live in a fifth-floor walk up, getting up every day and walking into my closet full of Dior and Betsy Johnson dresses. I freely admit that I wanted to be Jennifer Garner in 13 going on 30, complete with Mark Ruffalo -- I mean, adorable. Anyway, she had this amazing life, and I liked how she took things with a grain of salt and some old school dance moves.
We have all made plans for our lives and try as hell as we do, we can't seem to make them come true as well as we plan. Tings come up, lives get tangled up and suddenly we're forced to re-prioritize and abandon every goal we want. But then again, we achieve new goals and discover new plans that maybe we hadn't thought of in the first place -- a new destiny.
My plans have changed drastically, I know I want to write professionally and accomplish goals that may seem unorthodox, but as long as I have a fighting breath left in my body, I'll get them, hell or high water.
What sorts of goals did you set for yourself? Did you accomplish them or have them altered?

Priest Charged With Simple Assault and Battery
The Rev. Anselme Malonda-Nkuanga, C.I.C.M, a priest of the Congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary-Missionhurst, has been charged with simple assault and battery, as a result of an allegation that he inappropriately touched an adult woman in Virginia in July and October 2016. Since December, 2016, Rev. Malonda-Nkuanga has been on administrative leave from his duties as Pastor of Saint Eugene Parish in Wendell, N.C., and Our Lady of the Rosary Mission in Louisburg, N.C. Simple assault and battery is a class 1 misdemeanor in violation of Section 18.2-57of the Code of Virginia.
Civil authorities were initially informed of the allegation at the end of November. The investigation is still underway, and no final determination has yet been made regarding the allegation.
Father Anselme denies the accusation. Like all priests of the Congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary-Missionhurst, he underwent a criminal background check prior to beginning his service in each of his assignments. During his 24-year tenure as a priest no other allegations involving Father Anselme have been received by the Congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary-Missionhurst or the dioceses where he has served.
Missionhurst is an international religious missionary institute of several hundred priests and brothers with a missionary presence in the Philippines, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, Indonesia, Zaire, Senegal, Cameroon, Zambia, Nigeria, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Brazil, Guatemala, Mexico and the U.S.

NEOSHO, Mo. (AP) – A Newton County jury has convicted a 35-year-old southwest Missouri man of sexually exploiting a minor.
The Joplin Globe reports the jury found Richard D. McNabb II guilty Friday of sexual exploitation of a minor and sexual misconduct involving a child. His trial lasted three days.
The Newton County prosecutor's office offered to dismiss the exploitation and misconduct charges if McNabb would plead guilty to possession of child pornography. McNabb initially took the deal, but later withdrew his plea and sought a trial.
A 16-year-old girl testified at the trial that McNabb took nude photographs of her on two occasions when she was nine or 10 years old and performed a sex act in front of her. McNabb denied the allegations.
A sentencing hearing is set for April 23.

I am really struggling to get continuous data recording in LabVIEW from my Pico 200/20.
I have tried the examples (triggered and not triggered) which only capture a defined number of samples, they work. But occassionally crash the Picoscope. I then resorted to going through each function (from the manual) one at a time to see if the return values are correct. Every time the picoscope does crash I have to close down LabVIEW and re-start, the 'clear all device associations' in LabVIEW doesn't resolve that.
Could someone advise me on the correct flow of commands please? Or perhaps look at my LabVIEW code?
Many thanks

MANATEE -- A 278-unit Lakewood Ranch project called Eagle Trace Subdivision won tentative approval Thursday from the Manatee County Planning Commission.
The commission OK'd a rezoning and preliminary site plan request to add 43.53 acres and 95 units for a total of 104.66 acres and 278 units.
The planned development is at State Road 64 and Pope Road.
Neal Communities plans call for 164 single family detached units and 114 single family semi-detached units.
The surrounding area is transitioning from suburban-agriculture uses to single family residential development, said planner Shelley Hamilton.
She noted it will feature "significantly smaller lots" than have been proposed in the surrounding area.
Eventually, there will be a new alignment of Pope Road as the development takes shape, but it will be renamed, officials said.
The developer will be responsible for construction of part of the new, unnamed road, which will connect existing Pope Road to the project entrance, county documents said.
The property includes 9.033 acres of wetlands, but only 1.29 acres will be affected by the development, county documents said.
The site is heavily treed, with approximately 6 acres of mixed hardwoods. The developer has indicated about 85 percent of the habitat, or 5.1 acres, will be preserved through a conservation easement, county records said.
The planning commission is an advisory body, so the project must still win final approval from the Manatee County Commission.

Traditional Hainaneses Chicken Rice
The Hottest Chicken Rice at The Moment.............
The Hot Talk of the Foodies World ...
Jiang Ji Traditional Hainaneses Chicken Rice
From what I heard this gentle old man,age about 73,was the one of the main man who was responsible for the creation of the famous "Mandarin Hotel Chatterbox Chicken Rice".He left to opened "Sergeant Chicken Rice",and after setting up at different location.He settled a month ago setting up at this new premises.Sorry,I am not going deep into his history,but if you want,you can read his brief history from one of my favourite makanguru link.
Now back to the reason I am here,the chicken and the rice.....
I had 2 visit...
Half a chicken $9.00.Lightly drizzled in sauce with oil the White chicken was quite big, had this very inviting look.Even before I had a bite I would sense the taste in my mouth.
Thick cuts,tender,soft,smooth,every bite was juicy and simply yummy!Cooked to perfection.
The skin was smooth,soft,had this slight crunch to it,which was just plain heaven.
Liver and gizzards were soft and nice.
Rice was flavourful enough,but not very flavourful.Some stall owners,even some in some very well known stalls.Purposely flavour their rice lightly so it does not overwhelm,the chicken.But combination together,with a perfectly timed boiled or steamed chicken,just goes beyond words.
The chilly was lightly spicy but tasty.Ginger was very good.
A special mention must go to the light clear broth,soup.It had a kind of herbal taste,which made the soup quite different from the normal chicken rice soup,It was tasty ,very nice .
A $2.50 order,was very reasonable with thick juicy chicken.
Overall this stall has one the best tasting white chicken.As good as any of the top popular chicken rice stall..Certainly there amount best.....
Price from $2.50...
Certainly worth a trip....

Belle de Jour Power Planner Popup Store at SM Megamall
Aside from buying new pair of eyeglasses from EO last Sunday, I also checked the popup store of Belle de Jour Power Planner so I could buy the latest one (2016) ahead and given a discount. However, there was no more book bound version for the matte printed design, which I prefer, so I decided to just wait until they have the planners in the bookstores.
I only took few photos from the popup store in SM Megamall Atrium. They had cute designs of their booth and the first photo showcased all the design since the beginning. I was surprised BDJ is already 10 years old! I only started purchasing this fab planner last 2013 and has been collecting them ever since. I wish I started early though! But all in all, I still consider my involvement to this awesome community as I had attended some events (BDJ Fair, Tres Chic), already since then, and even met good friends too.
I will surely write a blog post once I have bought my copy of the 2016 planner so you will know what to expect before deciding to buy one. and to BDJ, happy 10th year and more power to all of the hardworking people in your team!
