What if your tree surgeon gets it wrong?
Trees that bite! People try all sorts of things to save money. Some are just crazy! Here are a few…
Tree surveys and arboricultural reports for homebuyers, planning applications and risk assesments
A BS5837 tree survey consists of 3 phases which are part of the planning and design process. Part 1 (a site survey and TCP) should ideally be done prior to any plans being drawn up. Often all 3 parts are completed post design as a single process. This is normally done prior to submission of the planning application, although sometimes it is requested by the planning department after the application is submitted.
A topographical land survey should be carried out before-hand. The location of the trees can then be accurately plotted based on this map.
If your site has trees then it is likely that you will need a BS5837 survey. Its best to get it done sooner rather than later to avoid any delays in th planning process later. We can normally conduct an arboricultural report site visit within a day or two. It takes an additional two days to type up the report.
Cost depends on the number of trees but prices start from £350 (no vat)
If it is urgent please let us know and we will do our best to fast track the report for you.
There are a few different types the arboricultural reports we offer and different ways of surveying a tree.They all serve a different purpose. Here is an outline of what each report covers and what they involve
Trees are statistically safe (you are more likely to be hit by lightning than a falling tree) but they can, and do fall over and shed limbs. All tree owners have a duty (under duty of care legislation) to have their trees regularly checked. This can be done by the homeowner on an informal basis, but the more trees you have and the more which are located in high-risk areas (such as along footpaths/roads) the higher the responsibility.
As arborists, we can carry out a safety survey to highlight any defects, or high-risk trees within your property. A survey is normally conducted of all the trees within in a zone with a more detailed inspection conducted trees with defects.
The survey can record the location, height, canopy spread of all the trees on site or just the trees which require further attention. For larger properties, we can create zones based on risk. High-risk zones (eg. public areas, or along roads) can be surveyed with greater priority than lower risk zones and appropriate work recommended.
This is often required by lenders to ensure that there is no risk of subsidence to the property which could affect the property value and ultimately mean the lender is unlikely to be able to recover their cost should things go wrong.
An arborist will visit the property and assess the trees to identify any problems and can recommend that a tree should be removed if it is likely to cause problems in the future.
There are a few different aspects to planning surveys. You should have a BS5837 survey, an impact assessment, an arboriculture method statement and a tree protection (or tree constraints) plan. Usually, this is all bundled together and sent off with the planning application.
The site should be surveyed topographically first. This is a normal part of the planning process in order to layout the site and will include details from ground levels to existing buildings, roads and services. An arborist will visit the site and survey the trees and produce a plan based on the topographical plan. Trees will be assessed and graded on their value and remaining contribution. Retention categories A (high value) to C (low value) are used with category U denoting trees to be removed.
This should be done before the design stage and the high-value trees should be incorporated into the design.
After the design stage an arboriculture impact assessment is conducted which summarises the tree work required to facilitate the development. It will detail things such as how many trees are removed in each category, how the root zone of trees to be retained will be affected.
The Arboricultural method statement will detail how the existing trees can be retained with minimal disturbance. For example, it can recommend no-dig paving, storage of tools and chemicals away from root zones. The tree protection plan maps out the RPA (root protection area) around trees and the location of protective fencing around the trees.
It's somewhat of a rarity but there are occasions when it is necessary to climb the tree to survey it and assess it's needs more closely …more info

The 2nd Annual NC Addiction Recovery Advocacy Day | February 28, 2017 | Raleigh, NC
Register & tell us why you are advocating!
Download and share this awesome flyer! | Download our new Recovery Systems infographic!
Joseph Everett
"I advocate for recovery because as a kid I watched my mom struggle for years with alcoholism. If we have seen this disease devastate a loved one, we have to speak up about the power of recovery in the life of a family. It has to be said out loud."
Kiersten Warner
"I advocate because I have seen broken people become whole again through the power of recovery. Access to treatment is a human right and everyone deserves to get well. My tribe helps me everyday and I get to watch them help others now."
Terri Yates
"I advocate for recovery because a life is worth saving! I advocate for recovery because too many hearts are broken, and too many smiles are lost. I advocate to show others that people do care about what happens to them."
Jasmine Allen
"Recovery and mental health challenges are affecting our society in so many ways and I would love to see appropriate resources and approaches applied to this treatable series of conditions. When we recover, we become beautiful, caring, and inspiring."
David Fitzpatrick
"Quite simply because access to recovery should be considered a basic human right."
Phyllis Kritz
"Addiction is a dire public health issue – we desperately need policies that provide access to quality treatment rather than punishment. In service, I get so much more than I give leading Yoga of 12-Step Recovery meetings here in Raleigh."
Shannon Burnette
"To give support to people just like me in the recovery program… to always learn new things about recovery."
Amy Lee
"I am an advocate for recovery because I am a recovering addict since 2/3/15. I can't forget my recovery so in doing so, I advocate by using social media to reach out to others in recovery, to help others in need of someone to listen and to network."
Mary Ferreri
"It is my purpose to serve our community and help where there is a need. I have lost loved ones, watched addiction impact my family, students, and athletes. I can't sit still or quietly about this anymore. I am all in to do all that I can."
Chris Durbin
"To help reduce the stigma of addiction and to bring to light of the prejudicial treatment of individuals in recovery."
John Kelly
"I believe the solution is in awareness followed by action. With the two of these there is hope."
Kimberly Ricks
"To let people know addiction is a disease. I will help give a voice to women who have not yet heard the beauty of their voices. I want all to know life is beautiful when you LOVE, LIVING, RECOVERY."
Trisha Guilette
"The reason I want to advocate for recovery is I found recovery at age 30 suffered the disease ALL my life and wondering where was this all my life when I needed it so bad. I wish I knew about it sooner. I knew nothing about detox A.A. OR halfway houses."
Karen McKinnon
"I believe there is strength in numbers and we need to advocate for the voiceless and eliminate the stigma. Addiction is not a moral failing; it is a brain disease! Advocating is one of the best ways we can also use to educate about substance use disorder."
Sergio Calderon
"It has changed my life and the struggles I went through in active alcoholism/addiction. I am trying to gain the things I have lost, mend relationships I have broken, and fix my financial status. Being a positive, productive member of society."
Amanda Flory
"Every person has worth and value. I advocate for those who deserve so much, yet receive so little. I advocate for a community of support, acceptance, and love, as opposed to one of neglect, judgment, and indifference. Recovery is beautiful!!!"
Thomas Bashore
"Access to treatment should not have to be one of the barriers that those with Substance Use Disorder face."
Erin Day
"My mother is in recovery. I've worked in SUD Prevention for almost 10 years. I believe in Recovery. I believe in people. I'd like to see stigma removed, more dollars put into the SUD field, and a stronger recovery community."
Tonya Dail
"Hope and peace is the crux of sanity."
Will Frazier
"Recovery spared not just my life but the lives of my loved ones, too. We were hostages of this disease. Nothing brings me greater joy than the freedom my family and friends have from this tyranny. Now, every accomplishment is theirs as much as mine."
Jeri Jefferys
"I'm proud to be a person in long term recovery and want to add my voice for those who cannot. It's time to step out of the shame."

Terri Spears
"As Coordinator of SRP (Spartan Recovery Program,) a collegiate recovery community on the campus of UNC Greensboro, I see students in recovery pursuing their college education with academic and personal success, reducing stigma, celebrating recovery!"

William Tucker
"I am a grateful person in long-term recovery who strongly believes that people struggling with substance use disorders have a right to have recovery resources available immediately to meet their needs within their community."
Callie Franklin-Walston
"I advocate because I am a person in recovery. 11 yrs now drug free and I want to bring awareness to those still suffering that there is HOPE, it's never too late. And for those looking in I want them to know that we are not a lost cause."
Casey Vest
"I'm associated with The Anchor Holds. I've been clean and sober for 5 years… I love and want to help others and let them know you can change.. Addiction is a very sad disease but if you want to change you can!!!! One day at a time!!!"
Karen Kranbuehl
"I advocate to fight stigma and build knowledge. Citizens and leaders make better decisions when they understand addiction and recovery. I advocate to support the hope and dignity of those living with addiction, those in recovery, family & allies."

"No life is disposable. Everyone should have the opportunity to live a life free from alcohol and substance use. I am invested in people getting well."
Heather Moore
"I am the mother of 2 sons that have battled an opiate/heroin addiction for the past 6 years. You hear & read stories about how addiction has devastated families, torn them apart. This was my family. I do this to save lives. Today, we are good."

Joseph Martinez

Betsy Lewis
"I am a person in long term recovery and have worked in the field for over 11 yrs. I understand the obstacles and stigma that need to be torn down in order for the recovering community to thrive and become productive members of society."

Donald McDonald
"Addiction is a chronic, progressive, and fatal brain disorder for which there is no known cure, yet here I thrive in sustained remission for over twelve years. My wife can count on me, and my children are proud of me. I've dedicated my life to helping others come get what I got. Why would I keep that a secret? I'm advocating for a culture of recovery in NC on February 28th."
Jimmy Cioe
"To Represent! So many reasons… allow me to add (considering the day's location) that a wise man once said…..'and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.' And we're the people!!"
Jill McDonald
"I have witnessed the joys of recovery for myself and my family, but I have also witnessed the desolation of addiction because of inadequate understanding and treatment of this chronic disease. My hope is to help that change."
Helene Harris
"I have seen too many people lose loved ones due to the disease of addiction. I'd like to be a voice to advocate for strict laws for drug dealers who sell heroin laced with fentanyl, and to classify addiction as a mental disorder."

You can use Microsoft Outlook with many email accounts. But Yahoo does not provide free POP and STMP access to the users of its free Yahoo mail. If you are a Yahoo email user and want to read and send your yahoo email with Outlook or If you want to "POP" your Yahoo Mail into your Outlook 2007. Here in this blog I have tried to explain how to set up Outlook to read and send Yahoo mail.
Steps to download Yahoo Mail into Outlook
• Open Microsoft Outlook.
• Select 'Email Accounts' from the Tools menu.
• Select 'Add New Email Account.'
• Select 'POP3' followed by the 'Next' button.
• Enter all of your required user information, including your entire email address.
• Specify the server information for the Yahoo Mail account: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com' and 'smtp.mail.yahoo.com.'
• Click the 'Advanced' tab and change the POP3 port number to '995.' Change the SMTP number to '465.'
• Be sure the 'Log-In Requires Authentication' is unchecked on the main page.
• Click 'OK' once all of these parameters have been entered, followed by the 'Finished' button.
If you followed the above configuration steps, you should be all set. However, if you cannot send
or receive mail with your email client, then read our blog "Troubleshoot error messages when trying to send and receive e-mail in Outlook Express" for fixing send and receive error message.

Zayo Group, LLC Reports Financial Results for the Second Fiscal Quarter Ended December 31, 2011Second Fiscal Quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $45.1 Million on Revenue of $89.0 Million, Representing $180.4 Million and $355.9 Million of Annualized Adjusted EBITDA and Revenue, Respectively (February 13, 2012)
LOUISVILLE, CO -- (Marketwire) -- 02/13/12 -- Zayo Group, LLC ("Zayo Group" or "the Company") announced results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011.
The Company has experienced sequential quarter revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth since inception. Second quarter growth was a function of both acquisition related and organic growth. The second quarter operating results of Zayo Group include the operating results of 360networks Holdings (USA), Inc. ("360networks"), a provider of bandwidth infrastructure which was acquired by the Company on December 1, 2011. Also contributing to the second quarter growth was the continued trend of positive net installations.
During the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company made net capital expenditures of $31.4 million, which included adding 553 route miles and 196 buildings to the network. The acquisition of 360networks resulted in an additional 19,879 route miles and 456 buildings. The Company had $25.9 million of cash and $63.6 million available under its revolving credit agreement on December 31, 2011.
Financial Highlights
- Zayo Group generated quarterly revenue of $89.0 million; a $10.5 million sequential quarter increase representing 54% annualized sequential quarter growth
- Gross profit for the quarter increased by $9.4 million from the previous quarter reaching $69.7 million for a gross profit percentage of 78%
- Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $45.1 million, which was $7.1 million higher than the prior quarter, representing a 75% annualized increase
- Net loss of $1.1 million for the quarter was $4.2 million lower than the $3.1 million net earnings for the previous quarter
- Quarterly revenue and Adjusted EBITDA increased by $16.7 million and $14.0 million, respectively, over the second quarter of fiscal year 2011
- Net earnings from continuing operations decreased by $3.0 million from the second quarter of fiscal year 2011
Recent Developments
On December 1, 2011, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interest in 360networks for a purchase price of $345.0 million, subject to post-closing adjustments. In connection with the agreement, the Company agreed to assume a net working capital deficit of approximately $26.0 million and acquired approximately $1.0 million in cash balances resulting in the net consideration paid for the transaction of $318.0 million. The acquisition was funded with proceeds from a $315.0 million senior secured term loan, which was entered into on December 1, 2011, and cash on hand. The term loan accrues interest at floating rates. The interest rate on the term loan as of December 31, 2011 was 7.0 percent.
The acquired 360networks business operated approximately 908,557 fiber miles of intercity and metro fiber network across 22 states and British Columbia. 360networks' intercity network interconnected over 70 markets across the central and western United States, including 23 Zayo fiber markets and a number of new markets such as Albuquerque, New Mexico; Bismarck, North Dakota; Des Moines, Iowa; San Francisco, California; San Diego, California and Tucson, Arizona. In addition to its intercity network, 360networks operated over 800 route miles of metropolitan fiber networks across 26 markets, including Seattle, Washington; Denver, Colorado; Colorado Springs, Colorado; Omaha, Nebraska; Sacramento, California and Salt Lake City, Utah.
Included in the purchase price was VoIP360, Inc., a legal subsidiary of 360networks. The VoIP360, Inc. entity held substantially all of 360networks Voice over Internet Protocol ("VoIP") and other voice product offerings. Concurrently with the close of the 360networks acquisition, the Company spun-off 360networks' VoIP operations to its parent Zayo Group Holdings, Inc. On the spin-off date, the Company estimated the fair value of the VoIP assets and liabilities which were distributed to Holdings to be $11.7 million.
The operating results of the acquired 360networks business are included in the Company's results of operations beginning on December 1, 2011.
Marquis Holdings, LLC ("MarquisNet")
On December 31, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with MarquisNet. The agreement was consummated on the same date, at which time zColo acquired substantially all of the net assets of MarquisNet for a purchase price of $15.9 million, subject to post-closing adjustments. The acquisition was funded with a draw on the Company's revolving line-of-credit.
The acquired MarquisNet business operates a single 28,000 square foot data center which provides colocation and interconnect services in Las Vegas, Nevada. With this acquisition, the Company's zColo business unit operates twelve interconnect-focused colocation facilities.
As the acquisition was consummated on December 31, 2011, the operating results of the acquired MarquisNet business are not included in the Company's results of operations during the three months ended December 31, 2011.
Second Quarter Financial Results
Three Months Ended December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011
Figure 1.0
Zayo Group Summary Results ($ in millions) Three months ended ---------------------------- December 31, September 30, 2011 2011 ------------- ------------- Revenue $ 89.0 $ 78.4 Annualized revenue growth 54% 3% Gross profit 69.7 60.3 Gross profit % 78% 77% Operating income 13.4 16.9 Earnings from continuing operations before taxes 1.9 7.7 Provision for income taxes 3.0 4.6 ------------- ------------- Net earnings $ (1.1) $ 3.1 ============= ============= ------------- ------------- Adjusted EBITDA $ 45.1 $ 38.0 Purchases of property and equipment 31.4 28.6 ------------- ------------- Unlevered free cash flow $ 13.7 $ 9.4 ============= ============= Annualized EBITDA growth 75% 9% Adjusted EBITDA margin 51% 48%
The sequential quarterly revenue increase of $10.5 million was affected by the inclusion of one month of operating results from the acquired 360networks business during the quarter ended December 31, 2011. The acquisition of 360networks accounted for approximately $7.0 million of the revenue increase. The Company generated additional monthly revenue of $2.0 million associated with gross installations accepted during the second quarter of fiscal year 2012. This increase in revenue related to organic growth was partially offset by total customer churn of $1.1 million in monthly revenue during the quarter. Approximately 74% of churn processed was related to hard disconnects; 11% was related to negative price changes; and 16% was associated with upgrades.
Net earnings decreased by $4.2 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to the previous quarter. The decrease in net earnings is largely attributed to changes in the Company's quarterly stock-based compensation expense. The common units granted to employees and directors are classified as liabilities and are re-measured at each reporting date. The stock based compensation expense increased by $6.7 million during the quarter as compared to the prior quarter. Also contributing to the decreased net earnings was an additional $2.3 million in interest expense during the quarter associated with the $315.0 million term loan which was entered into on December 1, 2011 in connection with the 360networks acquisition. Offsetting these decreases to net income was a $1.6 million decrease in the provision for income taxes during the quarter as compared to the prior quarter, additional earnings associated with the 360networks acquisition and increased earnings from the positive net installations.

Revenue increased $16.7 million over the second quarter of fiscal year 2011 principally as a result of organic growth and additional revenue associated with the 360networks acquisition. As a result of internal sales efforts since December 31, 2010, the Company has entered into $482.0 million of gross new sales contracts which will represent an additional $7.1 million in monthly revenue once installation on those contracts is accepted. Since December 31, 2010, the amount of gross installations accepted resulted in additional monthly revenue of $6.5 million as of December 31, 2011. This increase in revenue related to our organic growth was partially offset by total customer churn of $4.1 million in monthly revenue since December 31, 2010.
Gross profit increased $15.3 million over the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, as a result of the 360networks acquisition and organic revenue growth. The gross profit percentage for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, was approximately three percentage points above the same period last year primarily as a result of a higher percentage of our newly installed revenue being on-net. The ratio also benefited from synergies realized related to our previous acquisitions.
Adjusted EBITDA increased $14.0 million as compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, due to the Adjusted EBITDA contribution from organic revenue growth, the 360networks acquisition, synergies realized, and cost savings initiatives, including reduced franchise fees resulting from favorable renegotiations on existing franchise agreements.
Net earnings from continuing operations decreased by $2.6 million on a year-over-year basis primarily due to an $8.5 million increase in stock-based compensation expense during the quarter and a $2.5 million increase to interest expense. Offsetting these decreases to net earnings was organic revenue growth, synergies realized from previous acquisitions and additional earnings from the acquired 360networks business.

Other factors and risks that may affect the Company's business and future financial results are detailed in the Company's SEC filings, including, but not limited to, those described under "Risk Factors" within the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company cautions you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their respective dates. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this presentation or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.
This earnings release should be read together with the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the three months ended September 30, 2011 included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 10, 2011 and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2011 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on September 9, 2011.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company provides financial measures that are not defined under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as measures of liquidity.
"Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as EBITDA from continuing operations adjusted to exclude transaction costs, stock-based compensation, and certain non-cash and non-recurring items. Management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate operating performance and liquidity, and these financial measures are among the primary measures used by management for planning and forecasting future periods. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is especially important in a capital-intensive industry such as telecommunications. The Company further believes that the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to view results in a manner similar to the method used by management and makes it easier to compare our results with the results of other companies that have different financing and capital structures.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA:
- does not reflect capital expenditures, or future requirements for capital and major maintenance expenditures or contractual commitments;
- does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
- does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service the interest payments, on our debt; and
- does not reflect cash required to pay income taxes.
The Company's computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because all companies do not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same fashion.
Because the Company has acquired numerous entities since inception and incurred transaction costs in connection with each acquisition, has borrowed money in order to finance operations, has used capital and intangible assets in the business, and because the payment of income taxes is necessary if taxable income is generated, any measure that excludes these items has material limitations. As a result of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of the business or as measures of liquidity.
In addition to Adjusted EBITDA, management uses Unlevered Free Cash Flow, which measures the ability of Adjusted EBITDA to cover capital expenditures. During the current fiscal year, we expect that the level of our investment will be closely correlated to the amount of Adjusted EBITDA we generate. Adjusted EBITDA is a performance, rather than a cash flow measure. Correlating our capital expenditures to our Adjusted EBITDA does not imply that we will be able to fund such capital expenditures solely with cash from operations. Gross profit, defined as revenue less operating costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, is used by management to assess profitability prior to selling, general and administrative expenses, stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization.

At the age of only 12, Kiernan Shipka has already won 2 Screen Actor Guild Awards as a regular on "Mad Men," one of only four drama series in TV history to take the top prize four times at the Emmys.
Asked in a video chat with Gold Derby about having so much success at such a young age, Shipka replied, "Besides being so incredible, it's surreal. I mean I can't believe it. It's kind of amazing, it's really awesome. I mean, I consider myself really lucky to be on a show like 'Mad Men.'"
She plays Sally Draper, daughter of the show's leading man Don Draper (Jon Hamm). As she noted: "It has been half my life playing Sally. I've gotten to watch her transformation. I've gone through all the ups and downs with her and it's been quite a ride … Over the years I've gotten to know Sally a lot better … obviously there's some challenging scenes but those are the ones that are most rewarding to me."
The actress revealed that she particularly loves "whenever Sally gets to go to the office. I'm always really excited because I never really get to work with those amazing actors. Even when I got to work with Elisabeth Moss, It was just one or two lines but that was really fun as well."
Will Kiernan Shipka win Best Supporting Drama Actress for "Mad Men"?
Log your predictions in all top Emmy races. Compete against experts!
For Shipka, the most recent season "was all about Sally growing up and kind of I feel Sally was a little bit smarter this season. She played people a little bit and she kind of found her way …. this season she was definitely smarter and growing up and coping as well with everything around her."
It was also the first season of "Mad Men" that wasn't shot in the summer. That meant for the first time Shipka had to juggle her prominent role on the show with school-work. "Obviously I love 'Mad Men' and want to act as much as possible on the show, but we definitely worked with school and it was good."

Molalla River Middle School pours rusty water and other problems
When rusty brown water poured from classroom faucets at Molalla River Middle School on Monday, Dec. 11, District Facilities Supervisor Tony Tiano was there until it ran clear; and when multiple middle school classrooms were without heat that same day, he was there for that too. Now, he's just hoping he won't have to be there for a busted pipe or something worse.
"With just knowing all of the underground plumbing that's been underneath that building for years, I just have a feeling one of these days we're going to have something break loose, and it'll be during school," Tiano said. "I just have that fear of: something is bound to happen. It's just a matter of when. Those pipes are so corroded and they've been underneath there for I don't know how many years. Everything kind of has a life expectancy."
The life expectancy of the middle school has been a topic of conversation at school board meetings for the last few years, and the last school board meeting on Dec. 14 was no different. Tiano gave his facilities report centered around struggles at the middle school and the board responded sympathetically.
"Sounds like the infrastructure at the middle school is sort of beyond its useful life," Board Member Mark Lucht said. "The whole infrastructure is outdated."
"And it's draining resources from the rest of the district," Board Member Jennifer Satter added.
The middle school was built in 1952, and according to Tiano, the boiler is stamped for that same year. Both Tiano and Mann assured the board that the problems have not come about as a result of poor maintenance, but that crews are doing the best work they can to maintain the middle school building.
"We're going to do the very best with the facilities that we have been given by the taxpayers," Mann said, "and we're going to have pride and ownership."
Tiano suggested that the building is simply outdated.
"[The building] just needs to be retired," Tiano said at the meeting.
But two separate construction bonds went down in recent votes. In May 2016, a $73.4 million bond to build new middle and elementary schools went down, and in November 2016 a similar bond for $88.9 million went down by larger margins.
"Just put everybody in trailers and close that school, because apparently we're not going to pass any kind of bond." -Linda Eskridge
"Just put everybody in trailers and close that school, because apparently we're not going to pass any kind of bond," said Board Member Linda Eskridge at the Dec. 14 meeting.
But according to recent data collected in an online Thought Exchange survey, many community members have an understanding of the need for a new middle school. In response to the question, "What are your thoughts or questions about the future of our facilities?" there were 87 responses; at least 60 of those were in favor of replacing the middle school, and 10 suggested replacing the elementary school.
"We are in dire need of a new middle school," a Molalla Elementary School staff member said in the Thought Exchange. "Staff, community members, and students have expressed concerns about the current facility's safety."
Superintendent Tony Mann said that whether or not another bond makes it onto the ballot is a decision of the school board. He also suggested that the school board will consider the Thought Exchange responses.
"With a board like ours, who is so committed to the voice of their patrons, they're going to want to take anything into consideration that they can as it relates to future decisions," Mann said, "and the community's voice is part of that."
While the recent votes have caused hope to wane, Tiano said that he's willing to offer ideas for a bond and that he's not giving up.
"The middle school building does not match the pride that our employees and students have." -Molalla River Middle School staff member
"How can we best make the community aware of the need for a new middle school?" a Molalla River Middle School staff member said in the Thought Exchange. "The middle school building does not match the pride that our employees and students have, we need the community to invest in students' futures."

I believe President Barack Obama was quite capable of winning the debate with Gov. Mitt Romney.
But if he had, what with the dismal Romney campaign to date, a lot of Democrats would have celebrated "game over" and become complacent. Complacency does not win elections; going to the polls and casting ballots is what does.
Perhaps we have strategy in the game?

Sold-out, beyond-capacity house for the preview last night, and what a great bunch they were: excited, engaged and totally present. I hurt my voice a bit halfway through act one, because I hadn't calibrated for BRT's space--a rookie mistake, made all the worse because I made the very same mistake last year with 21DY. Nothing critical though--throat seems better today and we'll soldier on.
Tonight is opening night, and today is opening day: I'm really enjoying this monologue, in a way that I never really got to with 21DY, and I think that's because we're older and wiser now, and with a little distance sometimes you can immerse yourself more fully into each moment. I'm really looking forward to the show this evening, and I'd like to take a little time out to thank everyone who's made our work possible over the last few years--the theaters that book us, the colleagues with whom we share our work, and of course, the audiences.
If you're coming to the show this evening I'll see you afterward.

Secondary cortex formation in Osmundaria prolifera (Amansieae: Rhodomelaceae)
Document Type
Publication details
Saenger, P 1970, 'Secondary cortex formation in Osmundaria prolifera (Amansieae: Rhodomelaceae)', Helgolander wissenschaftliche Meeresuntersuchungen, vol. 21, no., 3, pp. 305-309.
The original publication is available at www.springerlink.com, http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/BF01609064
Summary 1. The development of the pericentral cells, lateral wings, and primary cortex is briefly described in the rhodophyceanOsmundaria prolifera Lamouroux. 2. During subsequent development of the blades, a large part of the outer margins of the lateral wings is lost, presumably by sand abrasion. 3. The loss of the lateral wings appears to stimulate the primary cortex into meristematic activity, thereby producing a secondary cortex, attaining a thickness of up to 0.5 cm. 4. Secondary cortex formation in this species produces leathery, terete stipes which may be an adaptation towards perennation.

Grant-in-Aid for Developmental Scientific Research (B)
In recombinant DNA techniques, it is required to detect a very small amount of nucleic acids. In standard protocols this is accomplished by the use of radio-labeled nucleic acids as probes. However, the inherent drawbacks of radiolabeled probes, such as chemical lability due to radiolytic decomposition, personnel safety and disposal problems, short half-life and duration of autoradiographic exposure limit the usefulness of radio-labeled probes in conventional laboratories. It is therefore desirable to have sensitive, non-radioisotope methods for detecting nucleic acids. Recontly, efforts have been made in a number of laboratories to innovate a new non-radioisotopic methods and a variety of methods have been proposed. Among these, the Boehringer's Digoxigenin-alkaline phosphosphatase method utilizing either BCIP-Nitro BT or a chemiluminescent substrate, AMPPD as a substrate appears to be most reliable and sensitive method. However, the method is still lower in sensitivity than the RI method. To improve the sensitivity of thenon-RI method, we have attempted in this profect to synthesize fluorogenic substrates for alkalien phosphatase which upon hydrolysis yield insoluble, highly fluorescent products. As a result, HNPP (3-hydroxy-N-2-biphenylyl-2-naphthalenecarboxamide phosphate) was found to be the most useful substrate among a total of 86 fluorochromes synthesized. With this substrate, it is possible to detact as small as 10fg of DNA by spot tests, and 70fg of DNA by southern blots. The method ustilizing HNPP is superior to any available techniques with respect to resolution, speed, ease of reaction monitoring, data storage, reprobing and stability of reagents.

Oct 16, 2012 — Within the concrete jungle that is New York, there are more gems – some hidden, and some in plain sight – than perhaps any other city in the world. After all, New York is not just the financial capital of the world; it's also the entertainment, shopping, restaurant, bar, and cultural mecca of the world.
From countless museums and beautiful parks to incredible theater and famous architecture, New York's eclectic offerings can satisfy even the most idiosyncratic of tastes. Each neighborhood offers a wide array of individuality, even giving locals a daily opportunity to explore the unique culture and tapestry of different environments.
And just like New York City's backdrop, the diversity of culinary and drinking options is also unmatched. A lifetime in New York is insufficient to expansively explore and keep up with the constant additions to its landscape. We've packed in a full 24 hours in the city that never sleeps, but our list is always evolving, which means you'll have to come back and visit again, real soon.
Start your day at Wilfie & Nell for a delicious brunch. A cramped West Village favorite where you can just as easily end your day as begin it, Wilfie & Nell offers the spiciest of Bloody Marys, house-made crunchy granola, and melt-in-your-mouth grilled cheese and egg sandwiches. The laid-back atmosphere, rustic setting and good people-watching will surely set your day off right.
After you've sated your stomach, head north to Chelsea Market for a quintessential NYC experience. The bustling indoor market features artisan shops, restaurants, cafés, and a mini waterfall. The smell of fresh-made bread and pastries will awaken your senses in this European-style bazaar. You're likely to end up spending more time than planned, with sample sales and innovative shops like Ronnybrook Dairy, One Lucky Duck, the green table and Eleni's vying for your attention.
From Chelsea Market, it's only a short walk through the popular Meatpacking District up to The Highline. A stunning addition to one of New York's most under-developed areas, The Highline offers unique city views and stunning vistas of Hudson River sunsets. The former railroad tracks extend over a mile long from 34th Street down into the heart of the Meatpacking District with various stops along the way where handholding couples can have a drink at Terroir on "The Porch" or a homemade hibiscus popsicle from People's Pops. There are numerous spots along the Highline that allow those making the walk to descend back down in the city streets and explore the various shops and restaurants with views of the Hudson River.
Exploration of Manhattan's West Side continues at the Hudson Terrace, where you can choose an innovative cocktail from the extensive drink menu while watching the sunset from one of New York's warm-weather favorites. Check out the Salon, Rooftop Garden Lounge (weather permitting), or Garden Terrace at this former horse stable turned nighttime hot spot.
Heading back downtown, it's time for dinner at The Waverly Inn. Famed for its truffle mac and cheese, this dimly lit, intimate New York institution not only offers legendary – albeit pricey – dishes, but you are more than likely to see an A-list celeb here.
After dinner, turn due west and make your way to The Jane Hotel. Inside the turn-of-the-century hotel is the ever-steady hotspot The Jane Ballroom, which is a trendy drinking den with a really cool history. It actually housed survivors of the Titanic in 1912!
And once you've officially had your fill of classy drinking and dining, just walk up a block to The Double Seven where a late night of Brazilian beats and craft cocktails will get you dancing with a see-and-be-seen crowd till 4am.

It's a Monday makeover in the Meadowlands.
The Giants fired both head coach Ben McAdoo and general manager Jerry Reese on Monday morning, merely hours after New York's 24-17 loss in Oakland dropped the team to 2-10 on the season.
The franchise's worst record for a 16-game schedule is currently 3-12-1 set back in 1983.
"It's really been the perfect storm this year," co-owner and team president John Mara said. "Everything that could've gone wrong has gone wrong so far this season. And it's just one of those things you have to live through and suck it up and make whatever changes you have to make and go on."
Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo has replaced McAdoo as interim coach, while assistant GM Kevin Abrams takes over for Reese as interim GM. Mara said both are candidates for full-time positions after the season.
McAdoo, who compiled a 13-15 record since the start of the 2016 season, is the first Giants coach to be fired midseason since Bill Arnsparger in 1976.
You have to go all the way back to 1930 to find the last time a coach (Roy Andrews) was axed before completing two full seasons. The notion of it happening this year was virtually inconceivable in the preseason, given the team's expectations coming off an 11-5 season and a playoff appearance.
But after an 0-4 start highlighted by three blown fourth-quarter leads, followed by year-ending injuries to star receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Brandon Marshall in Week 5, the season spiraled out of control. Among other issues, McAdoo had to suspend cornerbacks Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Janoris Jenkins for violation of team rules.
"I thought it was as talented a roster as we've had here in a long time," Mara said. "Our defense was basically the same, our offense was supposed to be better. We had added some receivers and a tight end, a couple of tight ends. We were supposed to be better. We got off to a very poor start on offense, our defense did not play as well as they could have and then everybody got hurt."
McAdoo, 40, served as the Giants' offensive coordinator under Tom Coughlin from 2014-15 after seven years as an offensive assistant in Green Bay under Mike McCarthy. But his success as OC (30 points in 12 of 32 games) never translated as head coach. The Giants have failed to score 30 points in any game since Coughlin's departure.
Reese spent nearly 11 years as GM and constructed two Super Bowl rosters in 2007 and 2011. Since winning Super Bowl XLVI, the Giants have gone 41-51 in five-plus seasons. Their only playoff appearance in that time came last season, resulting in a first-round loss at Green Bay.
Reese had been with the organization since 1994, when he began as a part-time scout.
"That's as difficult a meeting as I've ever had," Mara said. "I thanked him on behalf of Steve (Tisch) and myself for everything he's done for this organization. I told him that I have no doubt that he will get another shot with another franchise."
On Nov. 13, Mara and Tisch released a statement which included, "At the end of the year, we will evaluate the 2017 season in its entirety and make a determination on how we move forward."
But two more losses and miscommunication between Mara and McAdoo on how the Giants planned to move on from franchise quarterback Eli Manning evidently made the situation untenable.
Reese, meanwhile, has been under constant pressure for a littany of reasons including the failure to address the Giants' woeful offensive line in the offseason.
"We changed our minds, given all the events that have occurred, where we are as a franchise right now," Mara said. "To be honest with you, it became more and more apparent that we were going to have to do something at the end of the season. So we talked after the game and again this morning about, 'Why prolong it any longer? Why not just get it done now?'"
Mara said it's "possible" the Giants will have a new general manager in place before the end of the season "if the right candidate comes along." But they must wait to have contact if that candidate is still employed elsewhere.
Mara added that it's likely the next head coach will not be hired until after a new general manager is in place and has input. The Giants will not necessarily restrict the search to those with head coaching experience, but Mara said his "very strong preference" is to maintain a separation between the head coach and the front office's personnel control.
"We will have the GM in long before the draft (in April)," Mara said. "Our scouts and Marc Ross, our head of scouting, it's business as usual for them. They're going to keep doing what they're doing."
The Giants have four games remaining this season, beginning with a home game against the Dallas Cowboys next Sunday.
"I'm very conscious of the fact that three of our last four games are at home," Mara said. "I was conscious of, having lived through it before, what the reaction was going to be (without the firings). It also gives us somewhat of a tactical advantage in allowing us to start looking at general managers right now rather than waiting until the end of the season."

A consequence of these characteristics of corporate communications is that they are likely to be complex in nature. This is especially so in organizations with wide geographic scope, such as multinational firms, or with wide ranges of products or services, where the coordination of communications often appears to be a balancing act between corporate headquarters and the various divisions and business units involved.
However, there are other significant problems in developing effective corporate communications strategies. Corporate communications demands an integrated approach to communications management. Unlike functional problems and a more specialist frame of reference, corporate communications transcends the specialties of individual communications practitioners (e.g. advertising, direct marketing, media relations, etc.) and crosses functional boundaries to harness the strategic interests of the organization at large. When attuned to the strategic direction and scope of the organization as a whole, corporate communications is also a way of managing communications that is relevant for all types of organizations, however large and whatever sector they operate in.
It has often been thought that only large organizations in the private sectors need a vocabulary and tools for orchestrating their communications. Smaller companies, including small manufacturing companies and family-owned businesses, as well as larger organizations in public sector such as hospitals and universities, may indeed have less communications resources and little fully-fledged communications disciplines when compared to large private firms. However, communications to the various stakeholder groups of these kinds of organizations still needs to be aligned and integrated: a need that can be met by corporate communications as a guiding philosophy.

It helps employee feel that he is an integral part and not different from the company as a whole. The tools that we use are for engagement and information sharing are Newsletters, Website, Intranet, Offsite, Forums, etc.
It is imperative that while designing a communication program one must look at addressing the critical audience that is the Employees .It is only when you engage with them as they will be focused on the reasons for change and therefore change their behavior to impact business outcomes. The program to engage employees proves great results as they feel a significant increase in empowerment and understanding in how their role supports the company objective or the customer experience and how they can change it.
6. Brand Building
A brand is the identity of a specific product, service, or business. Brand management is the application of marketing techniques to a specific product, product line or brand. It seeks to increase a product's perceived value to the customer and thereby increase brand franchise and brand equity. Marketers see a brand as an implied promise that the level of quality people have come to expect from a brand will continue with future purchases of the same product. This increases sales by making a comparison with competing products in favor to a branded product.

ATL and BTL activities are aligned in order to achieve desired results and promote your brand.
