Statistics & Details On The International Automotive Trade
Some context concerning the automotive industry from the CR Automotive Sector Evaluate: The automotive sector includes companies which design, develop, manufacture, market, and promote motor automobiles – together with automobiles, vans, vans, motorbikes and caravans. The sector additionally includes companies that make and promote parts used by manufacturers to supply their vehicles. The vast majority of the principle vehicle makers own and handle giant manufacturing plants with mass manufacturing assembly lines, often highly mechanized. They may additionally have vital non-manufacturing amenities the place new vehicles and applied sciences are designed, developed, and examined. Most automobiles are sold by networks of dealers that have varying levels of independence. Sadly they typically depart marks which are only seen in direct sunlight. These can usually be eliminated (least abrasive first) a chemical paint cleaner (P21S Paintwork Cleanse) detailer's clay or a glass polish (Autoglym Car Class Polish or Zaino Z-12 Clear-View Glass Polish) agitation with a smooth brush or a terry material towel helps to scrub out the micro pores of the glass.

I'm doing a solo trip to London in the second half of February for 7 days. This will be the first time I'm visiting and I plan to do the normal tourist stuff (I haven't looked into what there's to do as this is a spur of the moment trip, but I imagine museums, palaces / historical landmarks, markets, theater, etc.). This is not a photography trip; I hope to take some nice photos, but I'm mostly looking to enjoy and relax.
I'm bringing a 5DIV and a maximum of 3 lenses. No tripod (doesn't fit) and no flash (I'm thinking not needed). My gear list is in my signature. If you've been there, I would appreciate thoughts on what lenses to bring.
The obvious would be 16-35/4 IS, 24-70/2.8 II, and 70-200/4 IS. That would cover all focal lengths and would be most flexible. But I wonder if I could do with just 2 lenses, and if so, which two.
Also, I wonder if I should substitute a fast lens like the 35/1.4 II. Not sure if that would be useful relative the zooms.
Finally, I could toss in a 40/2.8 pancake since its so small that I count that as a freebie.
This will all go into a Lowepro Flipside Sport 15L AW, which I plan to carry from morning to night when I get back to the hotel. So lighter is always better, though with the 3 lenses its only 10 lbs and I'm fine with it.

B. General Coding Guidelines
1. Locating a code in the ICD-10-CM
To select a code in the classification that corresponds to a diagnosis or reason for visit documented in a medical record, first locate the term in the Alphabetic Index, and then verify the code in the Tabular List. Read and be guided by instructional notations that appear in both the Alphabetic Index and the Tabular List. It is essential to use both the Alphabetic Index and Tabular List when locating and assigning a code. The Alphabetic Index does not always provide the full code. Selection of the full code, including laterality and any applicable 7th character can only be done in the Tabular List. A dash (-) at the end of an Alphabetic Index entry indicates that additional characters are required. Even if a dash is not included at the Alphabetic Index entry, it is necessary to refer to the Tabular List to verify that no 7th character is required.
2. Level of Detail in Coding
Diagnosis codes are to be used and reported at their highest number of characters available. ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are composed of codes with 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 characters. Codes with three characters are included in ICD-10-CM as the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of fourth and/or fifth characters and/or sixth characters, which provide greater detail. A three-character code is to be used only if it is not further subdivided. A code is invalid if it has not been coded to the full number of characters required for that code, including the 7th character, if applicable.
3. Code or codes from A00.0 through T88.9, Z00-Z99.8
The appropriate code or codes from A00.0 through T88.9, Z00-Z99.8 must be used to identify diagnoses, symptoms, conditions, problems, complaints or other reason(s) for the encounter/visit.
4. Signs and symptoms
Codes that describe symptoms and signs, as opposed to diagnoses, are acceptable for reporting purposes when a related definitive diagnosis has not been established (confirmed) by the provider. Chapter 18 of ICD-10-CM, Symptoms, Signs, and Abnormal Clinical and Laboratory Findings, Not Elsewhere Classified (codes R00.0 - R99) contains many, but not all, codes for symptoms.
5. Conditions that are an integral part of a disease process
Signs and symptoms that are associated routinely with a disease process should not be assigned as additional codes, unless otherwise instructed by the classification.
6. Conditions that are not an integral part of a disease process
Additional signs and symptoms that may not be associated routinely with a disease process should be coded when present.
7. Multiple coding for a single condition
In addition to the etiology/manifestation convention that requires two codes to fully describe a single condition that affects multiple body systems, there are other single conditions that also require more than one code. "Use additional code" notes are found in the Tabular List at codes that are not part of an etiology/manifestation pair where a secondary code is useful to fully describe a condition. The sequencing rule is the same as the etiology/manifestation pair, "use additional code" indicates that a secondary code should be added. For example, for bacterial infections that are not included in chapter 1, a secondary code from category B95, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and Enterococcus, as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere, or B96, Other bacterial agents as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere, may be required to identify the bacterial organism causing the infection. A "use additional code" note will normally be found at the infectious disease code, indicating a need for the organism code to be added as a secondary code. "Code first" notes are also under certain codes that are not specifically manifestation codes but may be due to an underlying cause. When there is a "code first" note and an underlying condition is present, the underlying condition should be sequenced first. "Code, if applicable, any causal condition first" notes indicate that this code may be assigned as a principal diagnosis when the causal condition is unknown or not applicable. If a causal condition is known, then the code for that condition should be sequenced as the principal or first-listed diagnosis. Multiple codes may be needed for sequela, complication codes and obstetric codes to more fully describe a condition. See the specific guidelines for these conditions for further instruction.
8. Acute and Chronic Conditions
If the same condition is described as both acute (subacute) and chronic, and separate subentries exist in the Alphabetic Index at the same indentation level, code both and sequence the acute (subacute) code first.
9. Combination Code
A combination code is a single code used to classify: Two diagnoses, or A diagnosis with an associated secondary process (manifestation) A diagnosis with an associated complication Combination codes are identified by referring to subterm entries in the Alphabetic Index and by reading the inclusion and exclusion notes in the Tabular List. Assign only the combination code when that code fully identifies the diagnostic conditions involved or when the Alphabetic Index so directs. Multiple coding should not be used when the classification provides a combination code that clearly identifies all of the elements documented in the diagnosis. When the combination code lacks necessary specificity in describing the manifestation or complication, an additional code should be used as a secondary code.
10. Sequela (Late Effects)
A sequela is the residual effect (condition produced) after the acute phase of an illness or injury has terminated. There is no time limit on when a sequela code can be used. The residual may be apparent early, such as in cerebral infarction, or it may occur months or years later, such as that due to a previous injury. Examples of sequela include: scar formation resulting from a burn, deviated septum due to a nasal fracture, and infertility due to tubal occlusion from old tuberculosis. Coding of sequela generally requires two codes sequenced in the following order: the condition or nature of the sequela is sequenced first. The sequela code is sequenced second. An exception to the above guidelines are those instances where the code for the sequela is followed by a manifestation code identified in the Tabular List and title, or the sequela code has been expanded (at the fourth, fifth or sixth character levels) to include the manifestation(s). The code for the acute phase of an illness or injury that led to the sequela is never used with a code for the late effect.
11. Impending or Threatened Condition
Code any condition described at the time of discharge as "impending" or "threatened" as follows: If it did occur, code as confirmed diagnosis. If it did not occur, reference the Alphabetic Index to determine if the condition has a subentry term for "impending" or "threatened" and also reference main term entries for "Impending" and for "Threatened." If the subterms are listed, assign the given code. If the subterms are not listed, code the existing underlying condition(s) and not the condition described as impending or threatened.
12. Reporting Same Diagnosis Code More than Once
Each unique ICD-10-CM diagnosis code may be reported only once for an encounter. This applies to bilateral conditions when there are no distinct codes identifying laterality or two different conditions classified to the same ICD-10-CM diagnosis code.
C. Chapter-Specific Coding Guidelines
In addition to general coding guidelines, there are guidelines for specific diagnoses and/or conditions in the classification. Unless otherwise indicated, these guidelines apply to all health care settings. Please refer to Section II for guidelines on the selection of principal diagnosis.

By Geoffrey Atkins, Karen Oddo, Brendan Hanifin and Ezra Geggel December 4, 2017, 3:08 PM ESTLaw360, New York (December 4, 2017, 3:08 PM EST) -- In late October, a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers introduced legislation in both houses of Congress that would impose sanctions targeting certain members of Myanmar's military. The legislation was developed in response to alleged human rights violations committed against the Rohingya people, a minority group that predominantly lives in western Myanmar, at the hands of Burmese military leaders. If enacted, the Burma Act of 2017[1] would mark a pullback of the easing of U.S. sanctions policy against Myanmar; President Barack Obama formally terminated the United States' Burmese...

One of the biggest questions is, how does debt consolidation credit counseling work?
A nonprofit credit counseling agency that abides by state regulations and creditor guidelines will begin with a free counseling session reviewing your financial addendum.
A financial addendum is an outline of your debt to income ratio on a monthly basis, assets and liabilities. This is also known as a household budget. A certified credit counselor reviews your monthly expenses versus your income to properly assess a monthly payment for your credit counseling plan that is affordable and falls on a due date that comfortably fits within your other bills and pay schedule.
This is done first to help consumers identify where they are currently with their finances and help establish where they want to go long term with their goals. A financial addendum also helps your credit counselor qualify you for a monthly payment that you can easily manage and ensures a successful completion of your program. Some creditors utilize the financial addendum to determine how much interest will be reduced.
From there, a credit counselor will then ask for the accounts you want to enroll, names and current balances. This data is used to find out what your monthly payment will be on the debt consolidation plan. The monthly payment is based on pre-established creditor guidelines nonprofits must abide by for their clients to receive program benefits such as interest reductions and the stopping of fees.
Eventually a credit counselor will want to review your statements for current fees, finance charges, and due dates in an effort to compare to the rates on the program and show the potential savings with enrollment.
At this point, a certified counselor should have provided you a budget analysis of your financial addendum, a breakdown of the total monthly payment in the program, and the potential difference in the savings between your current terms and the proposed modified terms under a nonprofit credit counseling plan. You now have a solid accounting of where you are, where you want to be, and how you can get there with a debt consolidation program.
If the payment is affordable and the savings are there and proven it is then time to select a payment date to begin your plan. Once you select a date and have committed to a plan a credit counselor should then send you any paperwork to finalize an agreement and working relationship between you and the agency to manage your debts.
After you have submitted your paperwork it is then recommended to make one last call to your creditors and close the accounts as – closed by account holder- rather than the creditor closing the account in the enrollment process. Whoever closes the account should not affect your actual credit score however some lenders may use such verbiage on your credit report to justify charging you a higher interest rate on a loan.
Keep in mind
There are some things that do hurt your credit and some things that do not that a lender will try and use to justify higher rates and fees from the affiliated banks and agencies.
Once you are enrolled in the program the credit counseling agency should be handling any communiqués with your creditors on your behalf and providing you updates as needed with regard to the status of your accounts enrolled in the program.
35 percent of your credit score is factored by timely payments every billing cycle. Another 30 percent is accounted by the amount of debt you owe. A debt consolidation credit counseling plan helps improve your credit in these two areas each billing cycle, building your credit score while lowering your debt amounts.
You see, as long as you make your payment each month a true nonprofit credit counseling agency will in turn then disburse funds to your creditors each and every month, satisfying the demand for 35 percent of your credit score, timely payments.
As your interest rates are reduced from their original rates your regular monthly payment through the credit counseling agency then applies more to the principle than the finance charges each month, bringing your balances down much faster than paying it on your own at high interest rates. This reduces the amount of debt you owe faster and further assists that 30 percent factor of your credit score in a positive direction.

You may have an amazing product or service to offer, a beautiful logo and a bells-and-whistles website. But….If your message and content strategy are unclear – unfocused – un-YOU….then you and your best-fit client will never meet!
That's why I do what I do.
And I get most jazzed working with socially-conscious small businesses – because the need is so great and the results so satisfying! I bring greatest value to the kind of folks who:
My clients get a triple win from my 30 years' experience in marketing communications, copy-editing and graphic design – impactful marketing copy, effective marketing strategy – and I know how to make it all look real good!
If you're ready to create or improve your marketing message content, let's schedule a time to talk.
… authenticity. I'm guessing you're very passionate about the product or service you offer. If so, it's your unique voice that is the magic that attracts the clients you seek. So all your marketing messages need to reflect and project YOU. I help uncover that voice and mirror it back in a form that connects authentically and powerfully.
… the power of words. When you really think about it, a person's first introduction to your business is something written – your website, sales letter, brochure, blog, product description, event/meeting invite, business card, white paper … you get the idea. Your professional reputation could rest on those words! Your words determine if a person finds you credible, relatable, trustworthy, compelling enough to continue a relationship with you. Whew!

… meeting you where you are on your business-building journey. I know you want to focus on selling your services and growing a business, not scaling the steep learning curve of marketing content and strategy. I love to share what I know about marketing and if I don't have an answer for you, one of my Heart2Heart Marketing partners will.
If this resonates for you, let's talk. I invite you to schedule a FREE 45-minute strategy session with me. I promise you'll know more about how to improve your marketing than you did before the call (whether we end up working together or not) – How great is that?

28+ years in marketing communications, I adapt tried-and-true communications principles to today's dynamic online marketing world. And I confess…I'm a life-long word lover, grammar geek and compulsive typo-finder!
If you're ready to create or improve your marketing message content, let's talk.
With origins in Chaucer, Shakespeare and the King James version of the Bible, this charming 3-letter exclamation seems to have captured America's heart. And why not? We live in an age of self-discovery and the unexpected (and 'Eureka!' sounds so last century).

This is a nice one because you really could add this pocket to any pattern.
1/2" double-fold bias tape (I like to use a contrasting color to add a little spice.)
1/4" Elastic
Safety pin
1. Cut out the pocket. (Pattern is below.)
6. Fold down the corners of the bias tape casing toward the back of the pocket so that the side edge meets the bottom edge. Stitch in place. (This keeps the edges from peaking out on the finished pocket.
Tah-dum, you are finished!

I just love this Chevron design Printed Burlap, and thought it had great impact and would make a perfect statement piece. So it seemed the natural choice for the Funky Fashion Wearable Art category.
Last year I made a Burlap Cape with Free Motion embroidery for this category and managed to take out 2nd place. So this year I have my sights set on 1st place, but we'll see!
I didn't follow a pattern for the skirt, I just winged it as I went. If you are interested in making something similar I will give you the brief run down on what I did as a starting point.
Basically I measured waist to knee and cut a long strip of Burlap that width. I hemmed the bottom, sewed on two strips of ribbon. I then gathered the top and added two layer of tulle underneath (attached at the waistline) to give the skirt some structure. Then sewed the side seam together.
I then measured around my waist and cut another strip of Burlap that length by about 6 inches wide. I folded this in half long ways, wrong sides together. Stitch the ends together, then folded right side out. I then attached this to the top of the skirt, starting and ending at the side seam. I then inserted a zipper into the side seam from the waistband down about 5cm into the side seam.
I know that is a very rough guide, but that is pretty much all there is to it. If you don't feel comfortable winging it, then probably best to purchase a pattern. Just make sure you allow for the skirt plus the tulle to give the skirt structure.
It's not an everyday skirt as I think constant washing would ruin the stiffness of the skirt, but it is a fun special occasion skirt, perhaps for my next cocktail party….
Next week I'll show you my last entry for the Agricultural Show.
In the meantime, I love to hear about anything you've made that would constitute Funky Fashion or Wearable Art! Let me know, I need inspiration for next year!

Poorest Migrants Leaving Lebanon and Defections in the Ethiopian Military
Ethiopians stranded in Lebanon
Note from Ethiopian Politics
The Ethiopian government's unwillingness to assist the evacuees is indeed sad. Kinijit International, UEDF and other such organizations should mobilize to lend a hand to these folks. This unfortunate situation presents the diaspora organizations with an opportunity to demonstrate clearly on how they differ from the regime in power. The original leaders of the opposition, currently languishing in prison, stole the heart of a nation by their ability to relate and identify with the mistreated, oppressed and downtrodden. The leaders in diaspora should embrace the same spirit and carry on the struggle in the same manner.

"I feel bare. I didn't realize I wore my secrets as armor until they were gone and now everyone sees me as I really am."We all have secrets and parts of ourselves that we hide from others for one reason or another, but what happens when we can't hold them inside anymore? What do those secrets end up looking like after being kept inside that dark space for so long? Are they broken? Ugly? Free? Do we end up relieved, or do we step back farther into the dark where it's safe to be afraid? We all have a choice to be free of all that holds us down, but will we?
I choreographed this dance originally in college but never felt like it was complete or conveyed what I wanted it to. After going through the rehearsal process, I ended up changing the entire dance and keeping the motifs I loved about it in the first place. I have asked each of my dancers to think about a secret that they keep, and to convey through their bodies how it makes them feel. For me, my secret was my struggle to ask for help with my anxiety. It took me a long time to get to a place where I could admit it to myself, and others, that I needed help. I finally dealt with the fact that my brain couldn't control it, and that I wasn't strange or any less of a person because of it.
So what will your choice be?

Well, July has waved the metaphorical white flag, given up and gone wherever old months go, so I suppose it's time for me to do this
Yet more fluctuations, with an exciting new low for the year, if only for one day
July 1: 237.4 pounds (16 stone 13.4 pounds, 107.7 kg)
July 31: 236.9 pounds (16 stone 12.9 pounds, 107.5 kg)
That's a not really significant drop of 0.5 pounds (0.2kg), thought if I cheated and used Saturday as the last day of the month, it would have been a drop of 2.5 pounds (1.1kg), but never mind.
It has been known.
I've had a few more reasonable weekend walks.
The monthly total is a pretty average for these days 36.
Ummmm, nope. Not a thing.

Adapting and Testing Business Management Development Programs for Educational Administrators. Volume 1 of 6 Volumes. Final Report.
Klawuhn, Raymond E.; Basso, Alexander J.
The American Management Association examined the feasibility of improving the effectiveness of educational institutions through business management principles. Target systems were the State Agency Executive Staff, the State Agency Division of Program Services, and two local districts each in Maryland and North Carolina. Each management team from the eight organizations was directed to apply business management principles to the management of their respective organizations. Some of the major difficulties encountered were the absence of a clearly defined decisionmaking process, excessive limitations on managerial discretion, and a propensity to state objectives in terms of processes rather than results. However, in each case, a commitment was made to longrange student-oriented objectives, the organizational structure was redesigned, the responsibilities were shifted to bring about accountability, and all participants gained new insights into their leadership responsibilities.

The village of McLean, IL was platted in 1856. School District No. 5 was laid out and organized in 1858. The present site for the school was selected in 1867. In 1868, a two story school was near completion when it was destroyed by a tornado. Another was quickly constructed in time for the fall term. The cost was $7,373.53 and it was used for both grade and high school. This building was destroyed by fire in December 1883. The next summer a building similar to the old one was erected. It was completely remodeled inside in 1901 and 1902. The building was kept in excellent repair and served the district for more than 32 years. It was destroyed by fire in 1916. A one-story brick school building was constructed in 1918. The district was consolidated with six rural schools in McLean County and two in Logan County in 1947. This became Community Consolidated District No. 424.

Crane Safety To Avoid Occupational Hazards
In 2010, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) released its Cranes and Derricks in Building and construction final policy, a new collection of crane operator safety needs for crane driver qualification. In 2014, OSHA released a new final rule that extended the target date for complete conformity to November 10, 2017, with the specification that employers are liable to guarantee that crane drivers are proficient to securely run a crane during.
At some point, a national-level qualification is going to be a requirement for crane drivers. There are 4 recognized qualification companies. However, I recommend that companies do their research prior to choosing the organization to marry. All accreditations have common parts, such as composed and also functional tests, however, the similarity finishes there. Make sure the organization you choose is approved everywhere and with every client you serve.
CIC qualifications already meet (and also have always fulfilled) the 2010 criterion, which needs that crane drivers be accredited by kind as well as ability. Training teams believe the previous seven years ought to have been plenty of time for concerns to be addressed and that the sector needs to be able to move on with the certification demand to ensure security on job sites around the nation.
OSHA introduced that throughout the expanded 3-year duration it will deal with driver certification needs for the cranes standards and has begun the procedure of developing a conventional to guarantee crane operator certifications. Crane problems are not amongst the most often reported safety violations by OSHA yet the Management is nonetheless seeking to guarantee that construction site safety prolongs from not only workers on the ground but to crane drivers as well.
Mobile crane driver obligations involve greater than just raising things from one place to an additional. To drive as well as preserve those renowned behemoths of the sector requires training, experience as well as testing to obtain a certification that has to be renewed regarding every five years.
Basically, tower crane drivers operate the levers on the control console and control crane activities. They control the crane by replying to hand or radio signals by a manager or certified signaler. On some works, they use remote consoles either from the top of a building or by radio controls.
Driver Training As well as Certification– Getting your drivers trained and licensed in conformity with state and neighborhood standards now will aid you to attain full conformity with the brand-new federal guidelines. The OSHA regulation specifies that companies need to spend for certification as well as any kind of training called for to get that crane safety qualification for any operators that are employed however not yet certified by the deadline. Planning ahead may assist you to lower these costs by organizing team training in advance, as opposed to needing to send drivers separately to courses.
Crane operator works are located in a number of markets with specialists rendering solutions in whatever from building and also manufacturing, to train, shipbuilding and cargo-handling …

Win the Talent War – Dustin Lucien, COO of Betterment
As the Chief Operating Officer of Betterment, Dustin Lucien knows about company culture and why it is important in attracting and retaining the right talent. Betterment was featured recently in the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, CNBC, and Forbes. And it is no wonder there is a buzz. Lucien explains, "Betterment is the largest independent robo-advisor, currently managing more than 6 billion in assets, and has more than 200,000 customers on the platform."

Introduction and Background
When Lucien joined Betterment 4 years ago, it was a relatively small company with only 23 employees. Now, with assets of 6 billion and 200,000 customers, it is the largest independent robo-advisor. Lucien explains, "We leverage automation to invest your money in a globally diversified portfolio of exchange-traded index funds, and give you personalized financial advice." Their rapid growth and success have caught the attention of media, prompting features in the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, CNBC, and Forbes.
Born and raised in Cleveland, Lucien moved to New York 15 years ago, and for the last decade he has been "leading and building engineering and product development teams in the New York community." Along with his wife, daughter, and their dog, he lives in Brooklyn but tries to get out of town as much as possible. They love the outdoors, especially family hiking.
What Kind of Employee Do You Look For?
"What we're looking for is pretty consistent. We're not interested initially on going deep on specific skills, but we look for high horsepower, passion, and openness," says Lucien. Equally high on the list of attributes are general curiosity, a willingness to listen and engage in building their product as part of the team. These are more important than anything else. After that, they start to dig into skills, but they are secondary to these qualities.
The Interview Process
At Betterment, they use case study techniques as part of the interview process. "For instance," explains Lucien, "if we were interviewing for an engineer, in the interview process we try to create a candidate experience, para-programming and collaborating with other team members, making sure we find the right collaborative nature." This technique helps not only the company to see if it's a good fit, but it does the same for the candidate. Instead of asking questions, they learn about each other through their work.
A Good Fit Equals a Long-Term Hire
Lucien believes they can learn a lot working collaboratively with a candidate, and get an authentic feel for them. They want to make sure the applicant gets a good feel for them as a company, and as co-workers. From experience, he knows it is important that both the prospective employee and the company are happy with the fit. "The most expensive hire is a hire that doesn't work out. We want to make sure they are happy with their decision, coming into the role, and never look back." If that means having a few extra conversations on the way in, he says they're happy to do that. He also likes to have them come in for a day with their peers, have lunch, and get to know one another.
Cultural Perspective and Employee Engagement
"Our cultural perspective feels like a tech company feels, and that is the culture we want to develop. We work quickly in small teams and in a collaborative environment, with a flat, informal structure," explains Lucien. "We empower the small teams with goals so they can run at their goals with nothing in their way." They boast an open floor plan, and on Wednesdays and Fridays, the chef on staff makes tasty, healthy food. They spend time together enjoying the great meal. For new hires, the company policy is that everybody is in a band within the company. It has nothing to do with your team. It gives employees a good feel for the company, as they get exposure to different roles, and learn about other aspects of the business. This seems to increase employee engagement and a strong sense of belonging.
Effective Employee Feedback
They use a variety of mechanisms, including employee reviews, upward feedback, and 360 feedback. There is a high value placed on having employees' voices heard. There are team meetings, and a great show and tell opportunities to share what they're working on, and hear feedback from other employees. There are other meetings of all kinds, including a special one for engineers to share their projects. There is a quarterly cycle, with anonymous questions from employees, and the CEO or COO gets up and fields those questions. As well, there is an anonymous online quarterly engagement survey to gauge how the company is doing, and how it is meeting the needs of its workers.
Lucien's Advice and a Special Invitation
When asked what advice he might have for someone just graduating, if they are interested in one day having a job like his, Lucien doesn't hesitate. "The thing I probably learned in the last decade or so, is that the moment you actually stop thinking about your career and start thinking solely about the company success and mission, things start changing." He found that when he focused his energy on the company, really believing in their mission, his career really took off.
Lucien offers a special invitation to prospective employees. "If you've written Finance off your list as a possible career, stop by for lunch. Come meet us, and see the environment, because you will be surprised. It is not like any legacy financial service company."
Words of Wisdom
Since his first child was born this year, Lucien says that he's become more of an early riser than ever before. He gets to the office early and spends at least a half-hour in the gym. Since making those two changes, he says he is more productive than he's ever been before.

Since 1933, many artists, designers, and advertisers have had the opportunity to collaborate with this well-known international company, and the collection contains more than 30,000 items.
SKINsoft is currently equipping AIR FRANCE's archives and heritage service with the S-Museum, SKINmedia, SKINlibris, and SKINweb applications.

The 3 Biggest Questions About the Future of Weight Loss
As America suffers through an unprecedented epidemic of obesity, so many people are seeking weight loss solutions. And for as long as people have been trying to lose weight, there have been scammers, faith healers, diet pills, and other schemes to take advantage of them. Only in the past decade have medical weight loss programs gone mainstream, giving would-be dieters a safe and healthy option for shedding excess weight.
Yet there is still a lot of misinformation out there about weight loss, even among the patients at our Louisville weight loss clinic. New treatments are being tested all the time, while over-the-counter options remain popular among people who have not yet discovered the benefits of medical weight loss. It's an exciting time for the field, but you should always be skeptical whenever someone makes big claims about a new treatment.
So what are some of the top questions about the future of weight loss?
Question: Does losing weight reduce the risk of cancer?
The truth is that we hope so, but no one knows for sure. To help answer this important question, the first major trial to see how weight loss affects cancer risk is about to start right here in the United States (with a little help from Canada). The researchers behind the trial believe that losing weight could help women cut the risk of breast cancer by a fifth or more.
To test that theory, 3,200 women will participate in the trial. What we do know for sure is that obesity greatly increases the risks of a number of health problems, including heart disease and breast cancer.
Dr Jennifer Ligibel of the Dana-Faber Cancer Institute recently told the BBC: "We have known now for many years that women who are overweight or obese and are diagnosed with breast cancer have a higher risk of their cancer recurring and ultimately dying."
Question: Is Botox the Next Weight Loss Treatment?
Short answer: no.
But at a conference in San Diego this May, researchers presented evidence that Botox could help weight loss patients fight hunger and thus lose weight. However, the study was extremely small, with a sample size of just 20 people. Not only that, but previous studies have shown Botox was not effective for this purpose. One day Botox injections might be a helpful tool for medical weight loss programs, but not anytime soon.
Question: How do I keep the weight off in the long run?
This is the big question, and always will be. There's no magic solution. The only proven way to keep weight off is a combination of a healthy diet and exercise (under the supervision of medical professionals). We won't lie to you; keeping weight off is hard work. Our Louisville weight loss experts believe you have to burn at least 3,500 calories to lose just one pound of fat. And in order to lose one pound a week, which is considered a sustainable weight loss rate, you'd need to achieve a 500 calorie deficit every day through both diet and exercise.
According to one study from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, among those who successfully keep weight off, 50% continued to count calories and measure fat intake after achieving their weight loss goals.
If you're interested in losing weight in 2016, then don't turn to over-the-counter solutions. Talk to a doctor or contact our Louisville weight loss clinic about safe ways to lose weight.

Bruce Jenner has had a demonic spirit lying to him since his youth, and many transgender men and women have been unknowingly experiencing the same satanic deception.
We see two-year-olds claiming to be the opposite sex. The world sees this and exclaims it must be their true identity if they begin feeling this way at such a young age. But if they knew the bible, they would know that parents would often bring their children to Jesus so He could cast out the demons that were possessing them:
Just then a Canaanite woman from that region came and kept crying out, "Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is cruelly tormented by a demon." Yet He did not say a word to her. So His disciples approached Him and urged Him, "Send her away because she cries out after us." He replied, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." But she came, knelt before Him, and said, "Lord, help me! " He answered, "It isn't right to take the children's bread and throw it to their dogs." "Yes, Lord," she said, "yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table! " Then Jesus replied to her, "Woman, your faith is great. Let it be done for you as you want." And from that moment her daughter was cured. (Matthew 15:22-28 HCSB)
There are more accounts of demon-possessed children in the New Testament whom Jesus delivered, and the prophet Jeremiah also wrote:
The Lord said, "It is because they abandoned My instruction that I set in front of them and did not obey My voice or walk according to it. Instead, they followed the stubbornness of their hearts and followed after the Baals as their fathers taught them." (Jeremiah 9:13-14 HCSB)
Bruce Jenner is unknowingly calling Jesus a liar, for Jesus said God's Word will never pass away. God does not change His mind. His Word is fixed. He would not deem cross-dressing an abomination and yet cause one of His creations to be confused about his gender. Satan, however, is the author of confusion, and the father of all lies. He always attacks God's Word. It was his very first assault on mankind in order to deceive and destroy them and it worked (see Genesis 3:1-6).
"The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?" (Jeremiah 17:9 NKJV)
After Adam took his heart from God's hands and trusted it over God's Word, he passed that sinful nature on to the rest of humanity who would come after him. So before we surrender our hearts to Jesus, they are deceitful and desperately wicked. But praise God He promises:
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. (Ezekiel 36:26-27 NKJV)
When Jesus lived in a prone-to-sin human body yet never sinned once, He defeated sin's power. When He died on that cross 2,000 years ago and then rose again, He conquered the curse of sin and death, and offers that victory to anyone who changes their minds and chooses to agree with God's Word, to trust it, even over their own feelings. And He promises:
"If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:31-32 NKJV)
I pray that Bruce Jenner finds a Holy Spirit-filled Christian, who knows the truth about what He's suffering, and prays for those demons to come out of him. Then I pray he asks Jesus to take over his heart, and begins renewing his mind through God's word—the bible— so he will know the truth, and be set free from this bondage, able to have joy in his identity as a man of God, reflecting the glory of the God-man, Jesus Christ, whom he was designed after and created for. Then Bruce, and every transgender who also surrenders to Jesus, will discover their true identity and experience everlasting peace and joy.

(Bloomberg) -- Staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission have met with the Internal Revenue Service to discuss tax implications if money-market mutual funds were to adopt a floating share price, two people familiar with the talks said.
Discussions have centered on the tax treatment of small gains and losses for investors in funds, said the people, who asked not to be named because the talks werent public. IRS officials have told the securities regulator that they dont have much flexibility to interpret current tax law, one of the people said.
The discussions suggest SEC staffers are developing a more detailed proposal to force money funds to adopt a floating share price, a move the industry has said would destroy their appeal. One such proposal prepared last year under the direction of former SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro was rejected by three of her four fellow commissioners in August, even before they were presented with a formal draft.
The tax treatment of a floating fund is one of the main reservations expressed in comment letters filed recently with regulators by fund companies, Joan Swirsky, an attorney at Philadelphia law firm Stradley, Ronon, Stevens & Young LLP, who specializes in money-fund oversight, said in an interview. This will be a fully baked proposal by the time it comes out.
John Nester, a spokesman for the SEC, declined to comment.
Schapiros Plan
Regulators have worked to impose tighter restrictions on money funds since the September 2008 collapse of the $62.5 billion Reserve Primary Fund. Its failure, caused by losses on debt issued by Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., triggered a wider run on money funds that helped freeze global credit markets.
Schapiros plan aimed to make funds less susceptible to runs and better able to absorb losses. It would have offered funds a choice of replacing their fixed $1 share price with a floating price that reflects the market value of holdings, or creating capital reserves and restricting redemptions.
Following the rejection, Schapiro appealed for help from the Financial Stability Oversight Council, a super-panel of regulators formed by the Dodd-Frank Act and headed by the Treasury secretary. The council, whose job it is to identify systemic financial threats, acted in November, pressuring the SEC to revisit the issue and recommending several reform options, including a floating share value and capital buffers.
Cash Status
Republican Commissioner Daniel M. Gallagher said in a Jan. 16 speech that SEC staff were preparing a rule-making proposal he expected to see before the end of March.
Forcing money-market funds to float their net asset value has long been on the SECs menu of options for structural changes, Mike McNamee, a spokesman for the Investment Company Institute, the fund industrys Washington-based lobby group, said in an e-mailed statement. We continue to believe that temporary gates to halt redemptions from prime money-market funds during times of market stress, with the option to impose fees for investors seeking further redemptions, would better address regulators concerns about redemption pressures.
A floating share price may also create new accounting challenges for investors, although they could be directly addressed by the SEC, one of the people said. The agency has the authority to set accounting standards.
The commission staff is grappling with concerns that a money fund with a floating share value might not be considered a cash equivalent, the person said. That could make them less attractive to institutional investors and businesses that need to hold a certain percentage of assets in cash. The SEC could propose to clarify the cash status of money funds as part of a new rule proposal, the person said.
Mary Jo White, President Barack Obamas pick to chair the SEC, is set to appear at a nominations hearing March 12 before the Senate Banking Committee.

Next up; Japan!
Tokyo (東京, Tōkyō) is Japan's capital and the world's most populous metropolis. Most importantly, it is my favorite city by a landslide. In all honesty, I'm still not quite sure why I left. Living there made me feel most vibrant and I miss it almost everyday. Moving to NYC afterwards seemed rural in comparison. And of course, now living in Telluride, I can't help but feverishly crave the hustle and bustle that 14 million people provide.
Tokyo offers everything; one-of-a-kind artisans, ridiculous sushi, intriguing sumo traditions, divine hot springs, epic skiing, beautiful Harajuku girls, endless shopping, crazy robot shows,...
Help Us Build Houses in Guatemala!
In the poorest areas of highland Guatemala, improper building materials, a lack of appropriate resources, and unsustainable architecture turn houses to rubble in the blink of an eye. Many indigenous families live in makeshift homes that are constructed of nothing more than cornstalk or cardboard walls with dirt floors. Living in these conditions strips families of dignity and hope, while fueling chronic health problems.
We are excited to announce that Tala will be partnering with, From House to Homes, a nonprofit that works with some of the poorest indigenous Guatemalans to create sustainable homes that are culturally appropriate, and affordable...
Shanghai, CHINA!!!
Although this is now one of many trips to China, I still find myself in utter awe of a country that is undeniably rich in history while also such a pivotal player in today's current storyline.
I am starting my Asia journey in Shanghai, a little city, which consists of about 24.15 million people. 24.15 million people! Crazy! I mean NYC can only boast of 8.5 million people!
Believe it or not, until 1842, Shanghai's location made it merely a small fishing village. After the first Opium War, however, the British named Shanghai a treaty port, debuting the city to...
King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand
The world's longest serving head of state who ruled Thailand for over seven decades has passed at the age of 88. My family, Thailand, and I, all bid a tearful farewell to one of the greatest symbols of unity, strength and kindness that has graced this world.
His majesty is revered as a ruler that took time to visit every province in Thailand so that he may listen to the needs of young and old, rich and poor. His name, Bhumibol Adulyadej, literally translates to Strength of the Land, Incomparable Power, which serves prophetic as his reign provided nothing short of...
Happy Indigenous People's Day!
Today we celebrate Indigenous People's Day. It is a day set aside to celebrate and focus on the cultures of various indigenous tribes in the American continents. These ancient societies have such beautiful and varied traditions, faiths, and ways of life that have been eroded and erased as homogenous modern culture takes over the world. Why is it so important to remember and honor the indigenous peoples of the world?
These are the cultures that built the foundation of the world we live in today; a vast rainbow of tradition, religion, and art that informs the evolution of humanity....

Dissent in the Neoliberal Era Symposium
On 9 May 2017, Dr David McWilliam (English/Film Studies) organised the 'Dissent in the Neoliberal Era' symposium, showcasing the interdisciplinary work of the Keele 'Dissent Studies Research Group' that includes academics from across a wide range of disciplines who are investigating the ways in which the neoliberal era has seen a rise in disenfranchisement and the curtailing of individual and community rights in the face of corporate power. They were joined by keynote speaker, Professor Jeremy Gilbert (UEL), and other UK academics specialising in dissent studies. The symposium explored the extent to which dissent is both possible and effective in the current global economy that is dominated by neoliberal institutions and legislation. As the backlash against globalisation has been co-opted by neoliberal journalists and politicians in relation to immigration, 2017 marks an important moment to reflect on how academics, NGOs, charities, and policy makers respond to the ongoing economic and political crises we face.

Los Angeles based Baritone Saxophonist Adam Schroeder has rapidly become a major force throughout the global jazz scene. Schroeder; a first call for a growing multitude of musical circumstances, is known equally for his hard-driving muscular swing, ferocious be-bopping, meticulous musicianship and leadership as well as his exquisite sound. For Schroeders debut release A Handful of Stars (Capri Records July 20th, 2010), his approach has been described as possessing soul a la Carney, intricate lines like those of Chaloff and Adams, the in-the-pocket swing of Mulligan and the hard-driving take-no-prisoners approach of Smulyan. This description of Schroeders approach is a concise short list of the baritone saxophone lineage with which Schroeders name should duly be added for he is truly a master of the most unwieldy of traditional jazz instruments.
Born and raised in Sioux City, Iowa, Adam began his musical studies on alto saxophone while in grade school. After an introduction to Charlie Parker in 1992, Schroeders musical interest became fixed solely within the jazz idiom. Mr. Schroeder finally discovered his saxophonistic voice between his junior and senior years, switching from the alto over to the baritone saxophone. Later that same year, Adam was asked to fill the baritone role in the college big band at Clark Terrys International Institute of Jazz Studies. The acceptance of this position sparked a relationship with the famed Clark Terry, which lead to a multitude of musical opportunities shared between the two players, ongoing still today.
In June of 2000, Downbeat Magazine named Mr. Schroeder the Co-Winner of the Jazz Instrumental Soloist Award (the 23rd Annual Student Music Awards); the first time that a Baritone Saxophonist has been given this prestigious honor. Later that same year, Mr. Schroeders career took off with calls coming in from Columbia Artists (Maureen McGovern & John Pizzarelli in Concert), Clark Terry (The QE2s 17th Annual Floating Jazz Festival), & Ray Charles; a call that started a four and a half year relationship up until the singers untimely passing.
Throughout his career, Adam has had the fortunate opportunity to play and record with a growing list of musical greats. Among them are the Clayton/Hamilton Jazz Orchestra, Anthony Wilson, Diana Krall, Bill Cosby, Bob Mintzer, Bennie Wallace, Michael Buble, Sting, Chris Botti, Louie Bellson, Gerald Clayton, American Idol, Gordon Goodwin, SUPERSAX, Mary Mary, Max Weinberg, the Los Angeles Philharmonic along with the late Nick Brignola and Jack Nimitz. He is a Yamaha Artist and endorses Vandoren Reeds & Mouthpieces. Recently he was voted a Rising Star on the Baritone Saxophone in the 59th Annual Critics Poll as well as the 76th Annual Readers Poll (Down Beat, 2011).

A distinguished career came to a close for Brent Kite in 2015 but not before he played his 300th NRL match and directed a young Panthers forward pack around the park.
He only played 6 matches before injury forced him to retire but Kite's influence was present throughout the organisation for the entirety of the season. He's achieved it all and is a perfect role model for the young crop of front row forwards coming through at Penrith.
There's been some criticism that he's been a boring and largely unimposing player on the field since his acquisition by the Panthers but his 6 games in 2015 were far from that description.
His early season form was promising and while his absence gave opportunities to some exciting players later down the track there's no doubt that the team missed the leadership of the veteran.

The most desirable consumers for a business to have out of any are 'green' consumers. This is for a number of reasons, some of which include: they make up 24 percent of the population, they shop more frequently than the overall population, they're brand loyal, they pay more for trustworthy brands, and they're materialistic.
This makes it almost essential that you drive your marketing efforts towards this particular group. Doing so will mean a much larger revenue for your business, and a following of consumers that will stay with you for longer periods than any other.
How this is done
Marketing to this specific group comes down to one factor: your sustainability story. Your sustainability and social responsibility story show these consumers that you're a brand that they can trust, and given how this group continually has shown that they're willing to spend their money where their values are, this is hugely beneficial in your overall business goals.
It's also therefore in line that if they don't know your story they'll just assume you only have your own interests at heart rather than theirs as well, which drives their emotional connection away.
In order to succeed with this, it really comes down to the creation and marketing of one particular story that you can stand behind and broadcast as your most important company values.
The issue companies are currently facing
The problem with the majority of companies already out there, is that they are trying to push too many stories about how much they do rather than hone in on one targeted effort. By pushing too many different angles, you're failing to connect with any consumer base at all, and especially failing to connect with the main group that matters, the 'green consumers'.
The solution
This is why it's essential that you choose a single targeted story that you can really support as a business. From experience, this story will have the most success if it:
- Aligns with your brand and/or products
- Hits the essence of what drives the market
- Is easy to embrace internally
So you'll want to thoroughly look over your current product range and brand and make sure that your story doesn't feel like it's sort of attached on, without tying in with what your business represents.
What you also must do with this story is show to your consumer base how your sustainability efforts are a part of the long-term performance of your products. This is especially critical if the most important aspect of your category also happens to be performance, as these consumers will care the most regarding how it relates to your story and how this will affect the long-term for your brand.
This particular link will not be easy to establish, and can sometimes even take up to a year to fully create a story that meets all of this criteria. The rewards are obviously significant however, so it's important that you set a team to work solely on your sustainability story, with not only how it aligns with your product or brand, but also with how your sustainability efforts boosts long-term performance of your products.
Once this is done, you'll reap the benefits that attracting the 'green' consumers to your company will bring. A loyal, long-term following that spends more, and more often than any other consumer group out there.

Emerging from a small hamlet, where little had changed since medieval times, Colehill saw significant expansion in the Victorian era. Largely due to the arrival of the railway, Wimborne became prosperous and the rich of South East Dorset sought to make their homes on large estates on the slopes of Colehill.
So began the development of the village as a community. Notably, the Village School in Middlehill was founded in 1865. Ten years earlier a Primitive Methodist Chapel had been built (replaced in 1913 by the Methodist Church in Lonnen Road). The Anglican Church started as a "Tin Tabernacle" in 1881 and was in use temporarily until St Michael's and All Angels was built in 1893. The Parish Council was formed in 1896, and met in Glyn's Coffee Tavern in Colehill Lane.
As part of Colehill Parish Council's centenary celebrations a commemorative booklet was produced called "100 Years of the Civil Parish of Colehill 1896-1996". (Pages 1-6) – (pages 7-12).

is it to young to start guitar?
I have a 6 yr old soon to be 7, who is bigger then my 9 yr old very interested in music in general, this child loves music, can sing most songs with out thinking of it, even older stuff,
Now about a month ago he had this old acustic(sp) guitar and well it was damage so it went to the dump.. well not even a few hrs after it being placed in the trash can at the dump he was on a rampage looking for the guitar, so feeling quite crappy about trashing it, as he yes cried, me and his dad went out and let him chose a second hand one from the pawn shop, he chose electric, which I have no problem with it, he has this thing in his hands more then anything else and toys are left alone...
My question is, as he is very smart, and gets board at school, but yes sometimes if it does not interest him takes him longer to process certian things..
he does seem to have an amazingly strong connection with this guitar, and loves to just sit and strum away, do you have any, advice please. do you think it would be a waste of money to let it go farther, or should I be trying lessons.... hes loved guitar for a long time.. and this kid can sing better then he talks.
