New York Gov. David Paterson has unveiled an austerity budget plan designed to pull his state out of the hole, and one of its many targets is "entertainment-related consumer spending."
Paterson proposes, along with severe budget cuts, dozens of new or increased taxes on everything from music downloads (a new 4% tax) to movie tickets (another new 4%) to sugary drinks (a whopping 18% increase, likely to affect multiplex concessions). New York has largely declined to tax entertainment spending in the past, but Paterson proposes to end that tradition with new levies on cable and satellite TV, radio and sporting events, among others.
The taxes are extremely comprehensive: one of the largest concerns addressed in the 151-page briefing book was the closing of loopholes, notably the "digital property taxation loophole," meaning the untaxed status of digital media downloads from sites like iTunes.
Other laws changed to eliminate technicalities include an expanded definition of residence in New York (increasing the number of people who owe state income tax), and a new requirement that in-state retailers charge NY sales tax whether they sell product via an out-of-state internet proxy or not.
The budget would be New York's biggest tax increase ever, and is estimated to provide an extra $627 million to local governments in sales taxes alone, though the total plan still boosts spending slightly overall. Orgs like the National Association of Theater Owners are incensed, but Paterson says his hand has been forced: the state is laboring under the largest deficit in its history — $15.4 billion — and the fiscal year ends in March.
Along with the tax hikes, the governor's outlined reductions have slashed funding to nearly every government agency, cutting $700 million out of the education budget and angering teachers' unions, among others. Arts and entertainment orgs wouldn't escape those reductions unscathed, either: earmarked funds for New York State Council on the Arts are cut by $7 million in the budget, bringing the total down 15% to $38.9 million.
NYSCA, which already had its budget trimmed by 10% earlier this year, provides funding to many of Gotham's nonprofit orgs, from the Film Society of Lincoln Center to the Anthology Film Archives and the Tribeca Film Festival. In many cases, recipient orgs count on NYSCA for operating budget support.
"We have lived beyond our means," the governor told Albany lawmakers. Paterson admitted that "adjusting out state budget to reflect this new fiscal environment will be an extraordinary challenge," and that the plan sought "shared sacrifice." The city, too, is scrambling to shoulder its own budgetary burden: Wednesday, Gotham lawmakers approved a similarly Spartan plan for the MTA that increases fares and cuts service.
Not everyone was on board with Paterson's teamwork ethos — New York civil service employees, whose pensions will be cut by the plan, lashed out at the governor's proposal.
"The middle class will have to pay more and get less while the wealthiest New Yorkers slide by under the Governor's proposal," said Civil Service Employees Association prexy Danny Donohue. "There is no sharing of the sacrifice here — it's working people getting stuck with the bill."

The Reverberant Group from Madhya Pradesh, India is one of the pioneers of education and training. It started its journey in the field of vocational training with the "Developers Institute of Computer Technology" which is affiliated to Vinayaka Mission University, MS University and Singhania University for their distance education courses. It offers UG/PG degree, diploma and certificate courses. It is one of the most well known institutes in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh which commenced Retail Education in these provinces.
With the objective of creating excellence in the field of higher education, now the Reverberant Group has come up with a journal called "The Global Journal of Business and Management."This journal provides a platform to express the unexpressed. It aims to generate new ideas on business and management that will be accepted, appreciated and acclaimed globally.
The Global Journal of Business and Management:
One of the greatest inventions that have changed the course of history is globalization. Globalization has not only influenced the way we think and implement today but also the way we dream to shape our world in the future. Thus, globalization as a phenomenon does not have its tentacles spread only on the past and present. It has also reached and started to control our future.
No area of life in this age is free from the influence of it. Business activities are also not an exception. We are in an age when we have to forget local threats and start to think about tackling the global threats. We have to reach the global standards. We have to aim at global heights of planning and implementations. It is due to globalization that we have to compete with the whole world today. Also it is due to globalization that business competition has been increased in terms of both volume and intensity and that also manifolds. Such is the profound influence of globalization that in remote places in the world you can have an access to leading brands in every field.
Under such circumstances, it was not possible to work with the old theories which took birth in the pre globalization era. We needed new thought processes, new ideas, new concepts, new theories … we needed new ways of looking at the world … the globalized world.
"The Global Journal of Business and Management" aims to do exactly that. Our objectives are
- To provide us with directions to find new destinations in this globalized world.
- To provide us with new sets of psychologies required to cater to the globalized markets.
- To help in initiation of new research areas sprouting as a result of globalization.
- To keep the world coordinated as per the new age mantras of globalization.
It is time for us to provide a platform to think about the world as a whole and not in parts. We are all a part of a huge global community today that has immense potential for business growth. "The Global Journal of Business and Management" aspires to create that new world, a new time and a new set of values that will enable us to harness that potential for business growth.
In order to allow easy access to people around the world "The Global Journal of Business and Management" has been presented to readers/ subscribers/ followers in an electronic form.
We expect support from all of you to make this a success and reach it to readers all over the world … after all we have to cater to the "whole world" … that is the most important buzz word for sustenance in a globalized world.
From the Desk of the Editor – in – Chief:
My dear readers/subscribers,
A warm hallo to all of you.
On behalf of the GJBM family, I welcome all of you to the world of GJBM. It's been a dream for a long time for us to launch a journal that will cater to the needs of the new globalized world. The entire team of GJBM had to work very hard to make this dream of ours convert into a reality. Now that it's a reality, we have even more steeper targets to achieve.
A globalized world has its advantages and its disadvantages, its needs, its aims and objectives. GJBM aims to study, research and document these so that we can come up with new ideas, solutions and theories.
Please feel free to be a part of our GJBM family and help us and yourself in the expansion of it. We hope to reach even the remotest corners of the world and make it truly a globalized world … one world and one community. That dream of "The Global Journal of Business and Management" will be incomplete without you. That's your importance in our GJBM family.
Hoping to give you some real enthralling moments of reading.
With warm regards,
On behalf of The Global Journal of Business and Management,
Dr.Aamarpali Puri Roy
Editor – in- Chief.

Across Europe, by the middle of the Middle Ages, a new room called a garderobe, originally a French word meaning a room to keep clothes in, could be found in all the more modern castles and homes.
Gee, Ben, I thought "garderobe" is where you lived. these until today.

Despite the persistent rain, which made the summer dig more difficult, the team managed to excavate into the ditch surrounding the castle, where they uncovered the medieval garderobe, or latrine, of the castle.
I am sure that even in your own garderobe you have things like: tight jeans pants, miniskirts, tube tops, belly shirts, tank tops, bikinis, and an evening dress or two.

Like nearly half the places I travel to, I decided to go to Whitby, England after someone told me I should check it out. Previously I hadn't heard of Whitby and, other than the few facts I learned from these friends, I really didn't know anything about the place. But I was able to find a nice inexpensive place to stay in Whitby so while in York I went to the Tourist Information Center and bought a one way bus ticket. It was July 4th and after a beautiful two hour upper deck coach ride through the North York Moors National Park I arrived. Although there were no fireworks for me on this Independence Day (for some reason they don't celebrate July 4th in England like we do in the States!), it was a sunny, beautiful day, and I was in a new place so I got to walk around and explore (one of my favorite things to do!).
After a visit to the Tourist Information Center to get a map, and a visit to the grocery store to get dinner, I walked to my hostel, my home for the next two nights. I was a little early and couldn't check in for an hour so while chatting with the other guests I picked their brain for things to do. And the area has a lot of things to do! Here's a small list:
- Whitby Abbey
- Church of Saint Mary
- Whitby Museum
- Whitby Beach
- Many different lengths of hiking trails
- Pitch and Putt Golf Course
- Whitby Jet Shopping (local jewelry, check it out)
- Fossil Hunting (including dinosaurs!)
- Relax watching the tidal River Esk (which is what I did after dinner my first night)
After a relaxing first night in Whitby I went out in search of adventure on day two (actually, not true…I went to see some of the sites). I started at the surprisingly awesome local museum (which has, among other things, many fossils, all found within 20 miles of Whitby over the last few centuries, and many pieces of art carved from Whitby Jet). Then walking toward the beach I stopped after coming across a game of bowling. Not ten pin bowling like we know in the US, but lawn bowling. Its similar to bocce ball except played with slightly different balls on a large, square, almost golf green-esque, well…green. Hoping they would ask me to join them, I sat and watched for about 15 minutes as two locals played at this local bowling club. I could tell they were playing a 'real' match, as part of a men's league or something similar, and wasn't surprised when the invitation didn't come. Leaving slightly dejected but glad I got to see an unfamiliar game being played I wandered along towards the beach.
Whitby lies on the North Sea and for people coming from more tropical beaches that might seem a cold place to get a taste of salt water. Not true, at least on this hot summer day. The beach sits under the natural cliffs above and to get down there are many switch back trails that all lead to the iconic Whitby beach houses. These changing rooms are for rent for the day or week by people visiting the area and give life to this beautiful coastline.
After people watching for a while and dipping my toes in the cool North Sea water I continued down the beach toward Whitby Pier and the mouth of the River Esk. On the way, away from the beach goers, I found an interesting mix of sand and stone that's only uncovered during low tide. This is where I started looking for Whitby Jet. Whitby Jet is a soft stone formed over millions of years from decaying wood under extreme pressure and heat. Apparently, although I can't attest to it since my search came up empty, you can find freshly uncovered-by-the-tides pieces of jet lying on the beach. It must be true as I wasn't the only one searching in the area; hopefully others had better luck!
The other stones searched for in the area, and more interesting to me than jet, are fossils. The fossils range from small sea creatures, to prehistoric ammonites and birds and plants, to crocodiles and dinosaurs. Seeing them in the museum was nice but luckily, at my hostel previous guests have left a small collection of jet and fossils (ammonite and squid). They look just like the raw jet and fossils in the museum but I got to touch them! One interesting note about searching for jet is you will find three different stones that look and feel like jet (it's very lightweight). You will find just regular black stones, which is what I found. You will find coal. And you will find jet. The easiest way to tell jet from coal is to mark on a piece of paper with it. Coal will mark the paper black and jet will mark the paper brown. The black stones I found don't make the mark on paper.
By the end of my first full day in Whitby I didn't want to leave so soon so I added another night to my stay at the hostel which allowed me to spend a whole day hiking around the area as well as visit the Abbey and the Church of Saint Mary.
Whitby Abbey has seen better days. Initially a Benedictine Abbey it hasn't really been used since the late 1530's in the time of Henry VIII's Dissolution of Monasteries. From then up to and including WWII there were many events that caused parts of the structure collapse, but since being taken over, managed, and preserved by English Heritage it has become an interesting and, as you can see, beautiful site to visit. Sitting atop the eastern cliff above the River Esk its seen from many areas of Whitby, including the patio of my hostel where I took the tidal picture above (look in the upper right corner). Sitting near Whitby Abbey, now dangerously close to the cliff face, is the Church of Saint Mary. It has been there, in various forms, for over 900 years and has the most unique church interior I've ever seen. All the pews have chest level walls as well as doors and it's been this way for nearly 250 years! It all makes for an interior that feels very 'busy'.
If I get the chance to return to Whitby I'll go without hesitation. The advice I got saying it was a beautiful place to visit was spot on. There is so much to see and do in Whitby and being a smaller tourist destination, for me, allows Whitby to have a less touristy feel even with thousands of people there daily during peak season.
A couple of additional notes on Whitby. For those Dracula fans out there: Whitby is where, while on holiday, Bram Stoker changed the name from Wampyr to Dracula after reading something in a book from the library and the Church of Saint Mary graveyard is a setting in the novel. Equally interesting is that Whitby is where Captain Cook sailed from on his great voyages.

An e-mail resignation letter is considered a functional equivalent of a resignation letter in printed or written form. This is because electronic documents have the legal effect, validity or enforceability as any other document or legal writing; provided that it maintains its integrity and reliability and it can be authenticated (Sec. 7 of the Electronic Commerce Act; Rule 3 of the Rules on Electronic Evidence).
Beyond the form, what is important is that the employee has voluntarily and knowingly dissociated himself from his or her employment due to personal reasons which cannot be sacrificed in favor of the exigency of the service (Virgen Shipping Corp. v. Barragui, G.R. No. 178127, April 16, 2009). In other words, the employee should not have been forced by the employer to resign.
Concomitantly, considering that the validity of resignations had been subject of various court cases, it would be prudent for employers to ask for resignation letters in printed or written form (notwithstanding the validity of resignation via e-mail).

Column by Jim Davies.
Exclusive to STR
"Capitalism" is another of those words, like "liberal," whose meanings have been twisted by time, use and particularly by government influence, to mean something quite different from, and sometimes opposite to, their original intent. When we see Occupy Wall Street protesters waving banners calling for its downfall, they are referring to what they think is capitalism (to the extent that they think; several of them don't) and not to real capitalism at all. I am an anarcho-capitalist, and both parts of that label have been twisted in such a way, so I have to explain the term. I don't mind that much; it is an opportunity to convey priceless ideas unknown to most listeners.

Here's something to put a spring in your step: this stylish stainless steel infuser creates the perfect individual infusion, and it's also rather fun to play with at your desk… Simply squeeze the handle upwards to open the clasp, fill half way with your favourite loose leaf tea and release to spring shut. Immerse in your teacup until you've reached the ideal infusion and pop it out when you're done. Genius.
Comes with a Whittard branded gift box.
Infuser: 4.5cmx2cm
Cup of tea by Stephen Harris on 14th July 2018
Love it, makes great tea
Design fault makes this useless by Michael Cooke on 1st July 2018
Wish I would have purchased the cheaper infuser which at least opened properly. The two halves do not open completely away from each other making it awkward to fill and almost impossible to clean, it does not save time but wastes your time.
Reply from Whittard, 2nd July 2018
"Hi Michael, we are sorry for the disappointment with this infuser. Please contact us directly and we can arrange a suitable replacement or refund for you. Best wishes, Nichola @ Whittard customer services"
Spring Handle Infuser by Lynne on 12th February 2018
Love this product, had a heart shape one for years. Use with English Rose tea, only use 5/6 strands of tea in it. I pour the water into a mug first, put in infuser, leave for 2 minutes and remove, I do not stir. Never had any problems, use every day.
Horrible by Anna Szeifert on 15th January 2018
For me once I struggled to fill it up pouring tea leaves everywhere around, immerse it in the mug and it springs open automatically, so all the leaves ending up in the water.I tried it several times, but same result.At the end I did not feel like drinking tea anymore. Made a mess though.It's not working, going to return it tomorrow.
Impractical by Luke on 8th January 2018
Received as a gift. Honestly a lot more of a faff to to use than it should be. It's designed to simplify by being able to scoop and stir with the strainer yet you have to be so careful when loading it not to trap leaves on the edges as it closes. Holes are too large made no better by the sliding half forcing leaves through the gaps. I would not recommend this product without a redesign.
Very useful by Jessica on 1st January 2018
Love it! It works very good and it it very easy to use! Maybe a little bit hard to push, but it's very fast and useful.
LOVE this controversial infuser by Erica on 6th November 2017
Great infuser. The design works like a tspoon which is fantastic!! I cannot stop stiring this in my mug! It was NOT DIFFICULT to rince the pocket or get tea leafs out from it. I make Earl Grey with this and it does not need lots of leafs either. When I get tea leafs out, I hold it open and give a few gentle raps against inside of bin. As long as tea leafs are still wet, it should come out easily and rince to get rid of tiny bits. It was easy to keep it clean! Happy tea making at office :)
Good producr by Dana Harrison on 3rd February 2017
I read some negative reviews about this product. Although Initially I had similar thoughts this is how I found the solutions: Firstly do not overload the infuser and make sure tea lives are not overhanging when defuser is closed. As for cleaning it. I just run it under tap water whilest the fuser is open and the water washes the tea away. I only give it a thorough cleaning every now and again and in between it stays in a mug waiting for the next cup of tea.
Best tea strainer by John on 6th June 2016
I had a heart shaped spring handle infuser for 12 years, and it has only now just broken so am now having to use the standard mesh infuser. Will definitely be replacing it with the round ended stainless steel infuser as it makes lovely tea, looks great and is excellent value.
Is cute and clever but by Jamie D'Ath on 20th April 2016
it doesn't hold tea leaves well I got it with the English breakfast set, but its only good for bigger leaves, to which this set isn't because I poured in the hot water and out come far more leaves in my tea than I'd like XD
Looks elegant, but kind of annoying to use by Jennifer Bonner on 4th August 2015
I got two of the silver-plated ones of these that came with loose tea packages. They are very elegant looking but a pain to clean and kind of difficult to hold open to put the tea in and take it out when finished. Also, it appears that the two halves don't meet as tightly as they did when I first got them...I keep expecting the spring mechanism to break, but so far (a couple of weeks of daily use) they are working fine.
A positive note by Lisa Nathasingh on 6th April 2015
I had bought the English Breakfast set with silver plated spring action infuser as a gift & thought it looked so attractive later bought this stainless steel one for myself, although loose leaf is a bit of a luxury! There are clear written instructions on the packaging to not over fill the infuser - to use approx 1/2 a teaspoon rather than the description above which give the leaves space to expand within the infuser once water is added. Cleaning while the leaves are too damp can be difficult (leaves can become trapped as per previous reviews) but you have to be gentle otherwise the 2 halves will no longer meet together so over time tea leaves will escape through the gap. I have not experienced much tea leaves escaping from the designed infusion holes. I think the trick is to not overfill the infuser and also to knock out the used leaves once dry which makes it easier to clean and also causes less damage to the 2 halves of the infuser. 4 stars as I've not had this for long but not had glaring problems but perhaps the instructions could be made more clear - although I cannot remember the ones that were enclosed. As a result this is a good infuser for a single cup of tea but would recommend looking elsewhere for heavier drinkers.
Spring Action Infuser by Philip Marshall on 24th January 2015
Nice looking product and the spring action works but because the spring action causes the two halves of the infuser to slide over one another rather than opening away from one another it is horrible for filling and cleaning. Probably won't get used much and will seek a better product elsewhere
I guess it will look nice in my kitchen by Kathy on 15th January 2015
Didn't try it yet, but was reading to see how to use the spring action. Sounds like it won't be easy. I'll try it since I picked it up while in London and now I'm home. I think I'll pick up a strainer. Oh such high hopes.
Simply does not work, looks nice though! by StephenM on 20th November 2014
In was given this recently as a gift, and it definitely feels like a quality item. But, goes quickly downhill on actually using it. On filling one half, trying to get the other half to slide back on without emptying the contents all over your work surface is difficult. The leaves simply get caught. As for cleaning, well, because the two halves don't separate fully, wet tea leaves simply are trapped in it, necessitating a scooping out with a sharp pointed knife or a fork. I really haven't come across such a poor design of anything for a long time. Hadn't the heart to tell my friend who gave it to me, so it sits out in the kitchen as an ornament!
Not fit for purpose by Kleopatra on 12th November 2014
Really difficult to clean. Its large holds cannot properly keep teal leaves inside, it just ruins your cuppa. Such a shame, it looks so pretty
Miss sold by Jacqueline Burnett on 25th October 2014
I totally agree with most of the comments above. I went into the Whittard shop in Nottingham last Saturday for some green tea bags, they only had loose tea in the flavour I required, so I asked for some help on which infuser to buy, I was told that the spring action was a good one because it is so easy to clean, all I can say is this person totally lied as I don't think he has ever used one. It has been such a waste of money and as I don't live near the shop I can't take it back without spending the same amount in petrol. I am very disappoint in Whittards!
Shame :( by Ashan on 26th May 2014
This looks gorgeous. Bought it as part of a gift with lots of different loose tea's how ever, first use concludes that it's a waste of time as the holes are two large to contain the tea there it needs straining anyway :( Very disappointed especially as it was given as a gift :(
pretty but useless by Mrs A Strachan on 17th May 2014
I took mine back for a refund as the two halves don't slide open enough to get a good quantity of tea in. Then the wet tea leaves are impossible to get out without a lot of poking with a sharp knife. As I drink 12 cups of tea a day, totally useless.
Spring action infuser by VJ on 23rd April 2014
Have to agree with what has been already said. Very pretty but not fit for purpose. A bother to get used tea leaves out and also lots of stray tea leaves escape into the tea when ready to drink so much so that it really has to be strained again . Not good.
Actually not that bad... by R Webb on 11th April 2014
I can see why loose tea would be a problem, but this is great for things like fresh mint tea, or more bulky infusion options. This is what I got given to use in a lovely french chain of restaurants and worked a dream for fresh mint.
Disappointing by Anna on 30th March 2014
Completely impractical. As others have said, the two halves don't fully slide apart making it hard to empty/clean when the leaves are wet, and it can't be used solely with a mug/cup of tea because the tea leaves escape, floating around in the cup. Had to try to make it work by making the tea in a jug then pouring it into a mug with an additional tea strainer - a joke!
It broke on the second use... by Eleanor O'Connell on 20th August 2013
I agree with other comments about the wet tea leaved being difficult to clean out after use, and the leaves escaping out the side of the strainer when brewing. I could almost forgive all that, because it's a pretty product, but mine actually broke the second time I used it. I'll be taking it back for a refund. A real shame :(
Product Fail by ADAM HONEYMAN on 30th July 2013
After attempting to use the product..twice, and failing to make a decent cup of tea without a mass of tea leaves..I have to conclude that, as per the other reviews the product is NOT fit for purpose. Very disappointing as Whittard's standards are usually quite high.
Scrumpy by Mrs J Button on 16th May 2013
I agree with the above buyer. Tea leaves all over the place when trying to empty and not great to fill either. Disappointing product and not used a lot as not efficient .
Disappointing by Amanda Boxall on 28th April 2013
I agree with the other comments - a lovely looking thing but doesn't do the job. Tea leaves everywhere, not kept nicely inside the infuser at all. What a shame!
disapointed by shaun on 25th October 2012
the tea falls out of the side where the plates slide together it could do with a seal
Faulty design by Susan Wood on 25th March 2012
I've had exactly the same problem so presume this is a design fault. Very disappointing as this was part of my Mother's Day gift from Beloved Son.Have emailed Whittards about this and am looking forward to their response.
infuser by Evans on 1st March 2012
Unfortunately the tea leaves were able to get through the holes spoiling the tea.
Not so good... by Galatia on 11th January 2012
The loose tea gets out of the infuser withou even moving it. (not through the small holes but in the part that opens...)
Lovely idea but horrendous to use by CJ on 1st January 2012
Bought as a gift as I loved the neat, efficient idea. However, although the infusion works well it's messy to fill and even worse to empty. The two halves don't slide fully apart so the wet leaves get stuck in the crossover. Cue tea leaves all over the sink, rather than neatly tapped into the bin. Shame!

As part of our core values, MPE strongly believes in corporate social responsibility within the community in which we live and that sustains our business. Therefore, we have committed to investing time, resources and money in selected charitable and humanitarian activities. We also promote participation from our employees in these events, recognizing that this too is a very important part of how we do business. When we give back, everybody wins.
Some of the recent charity events we have supported:
MPE joins Canadians, the hockey community and people from around the world in mourning the devastating loss endured by the Humboldt Broncos Junior hockey team, their families and the province of Saskatchewan.
MPE was able to raise over $8300 from employees in our seven offices in support of those affected by this terrible tragedy.
Concerned with improving the state of men's health, MPE has corporately supported MOVEMBER for several years. MPE, along with many staff members, teamed together to make a positive impact on this important health issue by participating in the Movember MO or MOVE challenge to raise funds for this important cause.
Through a wide range of fundraising events and personal donations, the MPE MO team raised a total $8,800. This amount, combined with a $5,000 corporate contribution resulted in an overall donation from MPE in the amount of $13,800.
Giving back to the community and supporting worthwhile charities reflects MPE's core values and we are again very pleased to support MOVEMBER in 2016.
Canadian Red Cross
Movember is the month formerly known as November, where men and women across the globe join together to raise awareness and funds for men's health issues. Funds raised are committed to changing the face of men's health and help fund programs working to improve the lives of men affected by prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health issues.
All of the MPE offices participated in this event and ended up raising over $5,400 to support Movember. MPE made a corporate donation of the same amount, so a total of almost $11,000 was donated to this fantastic cause. Here are a few choice Movember Moustaches… WELL DONE EVERYONE!!
"Dress for the Cause"
"Dress for the Cause" is an annual fundraiser held by the Breast Cancer Society of Canada. MPE Calgary participate in 2014 by dressing our office in pink and holding a fundraising party, a pot-luck lunch and raffle with proceeds going to the cause. Two members of the staff also volunteered to shave their heads which raised over $1700 for life-saving breast cancer research.
ALS Ice Bucket Challenge
In August 2014, MPE participated in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Each office prepared their own challenge video and then staff members "took the plunge" under buckets of Icy Water. Overall, the global Ice Bucket Challenge increased the association's typical fundraising ten-fold and is helping to expedite research into the debilitating Lou Gehrig's disease. Company-wide, MPE raised $3,000 and helped raise awareness of ALS through our efforts.
Spin for Strong Kids Campaign
On March 5, 2012, Randy Boras of our Calgary office took part in a spin session for an hour at the Calgary Crowfoot YMCA. He raised $3,785, most of which came from the generous support of MPE staff in all offices. This helped the local YMCA raise just under $19,000. The program provides support for kids and families in the community, offering the safe and active environment of the YMCA.

Alberta Cancer Foundation - Underwear Affair
On Sunday, June 4, 2011, four MPE employees particpated in the Underwear Affair - a charity 10 km run that supports the detection and brings awareness to cancers below the waist. In support of the run, the Calgary office held a bake sale which helped to bring the total donation to over $1,500. Corporately, MPE matched the funds raised by the bake sale.
As well, various social events and sporting activities are corporately supported and participation encouraged from all of our employees.
MPE Engineering Ltd. corporately sponsors various local charities as well. Some of these include:
25th Anniversary Celebration - 2008
In recognition of the company's 25th anniversary, MPE held an Anniversary Celebration at Alberta Springs Golf Course in Red Deer in 2008. This was a weekend event with all staff and family members present, with various activities such as golfing, canoeing, and horseback riding followed by a dinner & presentation. There were over 250 who attended.

There's something primal within us that enjoys competition. And nothing sates that primal urge like watching two gladiators beat the hell out of each other. Other than something to stir our other natural desires, like a smoking hot babe.
So if you're looking for a way to satiate both appetites, we have the solution. From the UFC, today's Babe of the Day, Arianny Celeste. Whoa! Don't go clicking away. She's not a fighter. She's a ring girl. You know, the hot girls that carry out those big cards with the numbers on them between rounds? Her all too brief appearances between rounds have us rooting against any knockout or submission, because more rounds equals more Arianny.
Arianny was born in raised in Sin City, Las Vegas. She's no stranger to modeling, having started as a baby, for a carseat company. She finished high school early to get a head start in college, where she modeled to pay her tuition.
During her junior year at UNLV, she answered a casting call for the UFC. Arianny made her debut as a Ring Girl at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in 2006. And it was also the first live mixed martial arts fight she had ever seen.
And outside the Octagon, Celeste maintains her top-tier eye-candy status, with some help from Maxim and their "Hometown Hotties" profile. Oh, and adding to that hotness: She is a gymnast and cheerleader.
They don't make babes like this anymore, fellas.

Who would we be without you?
One page of notes from the staff meeting before you all chimed in OR my personal to-do list? Who could tell?
By the way, the colonics thing was just a note about How Many People Were Pitching Colonics-related Stories, not an assignment. The colonic story that always sticks in my mind and supersedes all others (though you could no doubt prove me wrong) is the woman who saw the pink Barbie shoe that she'd swallowed as a 5-year-old sailing down the tube.
Anyway, the following pages of Staff Meeting notes are filled with much more interesting ideas than this one. And, as I said, your feedback was the best. You may (or may not) be interested to know that traffic ended up way up yesterday.

Swiss architect studio Herzog & de Meuron teamed up with Australian firm Hassell to win the competition to redesign Melbourne's iconic railway station at Flinders Street.
The architects won $500,000 prize, while the Victorian Government was left with two years to decide whether to proceed with the project.
Rivaling architecture firms including Zaha Hadid and Grimshaw, Herzog & de Meuron and Hassell's winning design includes the construction of a new barrel- vaulted roof structure enveloping the station, bringing in light and ventilation onto the station concourses.
Plans also include adding a new public art gallery dedicated to oceanic and contemporary art, a plaza, a marketplace, an amphitheatre as well as a permanent home for some of the city's cultural festival organisations.
"Our proposal respects the heritage, improves all aspects of the transport hub, and underscores its central civic nature with new cultural and public functions for all residents and visitors to Melbourne," said the design team.
The judges complimented the design scheme for its "beautiful and compelling integration of aspects of the original station design," adding that they support the decision to keep the height down on the east side while increasing it to the west.
"The extended vaulted forms provide a distinctive branding for the city, their eastern elevation to Swanston Street imaginatively recalls the intended – but not executed – proposition by Fawcett and Ashworth [the architects of the existing station building] of a family of variously scaled vaults," they said. "At the same time, however, the language is clearly contemporary, underlined by the fact that the new line-up of vaults is bracketed by the pair of historic Flinders Street Station buildings facing the Swanston Street concourse."
They continued:" The main train hall offers a celebratory experience of rail travel; its light-weight structure promises a filigree of ever-changing dappled light while providing ventilation, shelter and way-finding. The vaulted form will appeal to the universal collective memory of the great station terminuses of the past".
The public vote was received by Colombian architects Eduardo Velasquez, Manuel Pineda and Santiago Medina whose design featured an additional public garden over the roof of the station with glazed domes over the tops of the platforms.

The midterm elections are barely in the rearview mirror and departures from the Obama administration have already begun.
Lisa Heinzerling, assistant administrator in the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Policy, is reported to be leaving her post as the head of the policy office. Heinzerling will return to Georgetown University to teach. She's known to be one of the more aggressive supporters of greenhouse gas regulation within the EPA and worked on the case that resulted in the Supreme Court confirming the EPA's authority to regulate greenhouse gasses in 2007.
After her departure was announced, Politico quoted an Obama climate advisor saying that Heinzerling is "probably the farthest left and most committed of anyone on the team, with the exception of Carol Browner [Obama's climate czar]," on climate change.
Heinzerling leaves her position with no climate legislation passed, but there has been more chatter on the topic following the election. President Obama spoke about tackling energy policy in his first news conference after the midterms, though he took a moderate tone.

.TOAST File
File extension:
File type:
CD Image File
Notes about the TOAST file extension:
Incorrect file associations could be the result of underlying issues within your PC system. As such it is highly recommended to scan your PC for invalid registry entries, unused processes and other unfavourable system settings to identify slowdown issues.
The TOAST file type is primarily associated with 'Toast' by Sonic Solutions. Toast 6 runs on Mac OS X only. This is basically an .ISO file. Sonic Solutions bought out Roxio's consumer software division on 20 December 2004. HFS images created by Toast can be pure HFS volumes, starting from the first sector. In this case, they don't contain at the 16th sector which Easy CD Creator expects from CD-ROM images (the "CD001" string) to tell if they are mode 1 or mode 2 images. Such images can't be burned with Easy CD Creator. Toast also produces hybrid images, where the ISO volume and the HFS volume are superposed. Such images can be burned with Easy CD Creator. All major packages accepting plain images (Nero, CDRWin, WinOnCD, NTI, and so on) can burn the plain mode 1 data images from the Macintosh. So, basically, if one burning program fails, try another. [Note: The following has not been verified by FILExt and is user input only and so may be wrong.] User vataipreikia has posted in the forum that the program 7-Zip can open a .TOAST file on a PC as well. Also, another user indicates simply renaming the file from .TOAST to .ISO should allow it to be opened by any utility that handles ISO files (most do).

Samsung has officially launched its business SM843 and SM1625 SSDs, which were introduced back in September. Although the fast Serie 840 Pro SSD is a much more appealing option for consumers, especially the SM1625 is a big step for Samsung. It's the manufacturer's first SSD to feature a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface.The SM843 uses the trusty SATA 6 Gbit/s interface and is intended for small to medium-sized businesses. The SSD combines one of Samsung's own controllers, with 20 nm MLC flash chips.
The storage device is of the 2.5-inch type, has a 7 mm thickness, and will be available in 120, 240 and 480 GB models. Due to overprovisioning, the actual available capacity is slightly smaller than with consumer models. Samsung has specified read and write speeds of 520 and 420 Mbyte/s respectively, while random reads and writes are claimed to be 70.000 and 11.000 IOPS.
The top model, the SM1625, has two SAS 6 Gbit/s connectors. Combined with the proper hardware, this provides a total bandwidth of 12 Gbit/s. This model has similar components to the SM843, but offers capacities of 100, 200, 400 and 800 GB, in a 15 mm thick casing. Samsung claims that the drive's dual-port SAS interface allows it to reach read/write speeds of 848 and 740 Mbyte/s respectively. Random reads and writes of 101.000 and 41.000 IOPS are specified. Especially the latter is a significant increase over the SM843 drive. It's remarkable that the expectations of the drive during its initial announcement have been lowered slightly. Nevertheless, only few SSDs can meet this level of performance.
Unsurprisingly, Samsung has yet to mention a price for its new drives. It's likely that they will be featured in ready-made business solutions, which makes their unit price less important.

At the very beginning of the wedding process, I said we wouldn't take engagement photos. I just didn't see the point to them.
And then we took them (because I wanted one for our save the date), and I wasn't sure what to do with the others.
Someone suggested making them into the guest book for the wedding. Shutterfly has the same idea.
My suggestion: Take your engagement photos, plus your favorites from Instagram, and your favorites that are housed only on your phone and make them into a guest book for your wedding. You can create the pages chronologically, which is a nice relationship keepsake. It'll be a lot more personal than purchasing a generic guestbook on Amazon. Plus, it will give your guests a little glimpse into your life and what you and your fiance are like, what you like to do, and just how happy you really are.
Place the book at your venue's main entrance, leave a Sharpie nearby, and hope that no one draws a mustache on your face.
