It's been CRA…A…Azieeeeee (crazy) around here. First off, Marion had another visit to the hospital. Nothing serious, they did a few tests and thought it best to keep her overnight for observation. She is now home, fine and back to her "old" self.
I'm not upset with the hospital. How were they suppose to know the roofing guys were coming for the weekend and I still had last minute chores to attend to. Like picking up the rest of the roofing material, waiting for the dumpster and porta-potty to arrive and getting the gardens ready for flying debri. (What I should have done was had my crew come up from New York and help me with this roofing stuff! Well, at least it will be guaranteed for 30 years, ahem:)
I have a feeling it won't look like this one did on May 30, of this year:)
They started the roof today (Saturday) and so far so good. (with the exception of the brussels sprouts which are now covered with tar paper) Thank goodness the weather is holding up which is actually the reason why they are doing it over the weekend and will probably still be here until Monday. I suppose I should keep repeating Marjie's words to myself and be thankful I don't have a slate roof, lol…I can't even imagine how much that would cost! Personally, I'm more concerned with them doing it properly. It wasn't leaking before and it better NOT be leaking after! I hemmed and hawed about getting a metal roof and decided against it. I'm happy with my decision:)
And, this is just the beginning! Chances are I won't be posting on Wednesday. Marion has a few follow up visits this week and I have lots of business "stuff" going on down in New York. I have suddenly learned how to Facetime, Skype and hold conference calls all in a matter of what seems and feels like days! However, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. After three would be buyers for the business fell through, I do believe it is finally sold! Fingers AND toes crossed!!!
So, let's get down and dirty with the Little Monsters Cookbook.
It isn't one of my favorite books but then I didn't buy it either. Marion, sweet little thing that she is, bought it for Noah. The only thing is, when the kids were here over the Summer, she couldn't remember where she stashed it. Don't get me wrong, there isn't a thing wrong with that woman's memory! The problem is, if you can call it a problem, she has a room full of goodies for kids of all ages. If I didn't know better, I would think she was Mrs. Claus!
We found the book the other day when I was rearranging her collection of yarns for Winter crocheting. We had to break the skeins down to seasonal colors because she just has waaaay too many. Now we're into shades of reds, oranges, greens, winter whites, browns, yellows and blues. I kid you not:)
For me, the major flaw in this book is in the recipe I am going to share with you called Coffin Crunchers.
I actually like the way the author introduces the book in The Deliciously Gruesome Guide to Monster Meals at the beginning. "Just remember as you plan your monster menu to make sure you add foods that are tasty and good for you too" he writes. There are also reminders about being safe in the kitchen such as, "Your blood is a very precious thing. Just ask Dracula. To preserve all of that great red stuff it is important to follow safety rules while in the kitchen." He then lists about 10. There is also a section titled Mix it, Cook it, Chomp it explaining the basic principles of tools and measurements in the kitchen. All in all, a pretty good introduction for ages 6 and up.
So what are the problems?
You tell me:)
8:50 p.m. The roofers were a no show today (Sunday) It's gonna be a looooooong week...Have a Fun and Safe Halloween everyone, Louise:)

I never thought when I was walking around here all wide-eyed as a kid that one day I'd get the chance to see behind the scenes of such a remarkable place. There's only about 5% of the collection within the actual museum and I was lucky enough to visit where the keep around 80% of the rest. An unbelievable treasure trove spanning floor upon floor and room upon room of priceless objects. My jaw felt like it was on the floor the entire time I was there. Hopefully you'll soon be able to see some of it too. I have plans to put into action for that.

Week 22 – Curator – The Science Museum
- 05 May
The Science Museum was founded in 1857 as part of the South Kensington Museum, and gained independence in 1909. Today the Museum is world renowned for its historic collections, awe-inspiring galleries and inspirational exhibitions

Like many sectors the engineering profession took a blow during the recent recession, but many disciplines are now bouncing back and look set to continue to do so in 2012. The upshot for engineering job seekers in 2012? Knock on the right industry sector doors and you'll be in demand. In the first of this two-part series we show you what areas are heating up this year.
Aerospace supply chain companies
Most people considering a career within the aerospace sector will automatically head for major players like BAE, Rolls Royce and Airbus – only to find themselves at the back of a queue of hopefuls all competing for the same jobs. But what many don't realise is that for every massively oversubscribed key corporation there are scores of smaller companies literally begging for talent.
The North West Aerospace Alliance (NWAA) is a flagship organisation representing some 750 member companies and stakeholders involved in the North West England's aerospace cluster - its aim to promote careers particularly within aerospace supply chain companies namely through its Take Off In Aerospace campaign.
"The campaign was established in 2010 because many aerospace companies who make the parts for Rolls Royce etc. were reporting problems in attracting and retaining skilled young people in the industry," explains Alison Ainsworth, NWAA's image and engagement coordinator.
"We train 'ambassadors' from aerospace companies and universities in the North West to work with young people at all educational levels to raise the profile of and job opportunities in less well known companies."
Another incentive is the annual New Talent Award which is open to all students currently enrolled on a Bachelor's or Master's degree course at a North West university – with a £1000 prize for the best aerospace/defence related project.
The NWAA has also successfully encouraged smaller aerospace organisations to increase their number of apprenticeships and work experience opportunities.
"One of the areas where there's a very big gap in terms of uptake is design-engineering so in 2012 we will also be concentrating on filling that," says Ainsworth.
Maritime engineering
The BMT Group is predominantly a global maritime engineering consultancy but its work also covers a cross section of sectors including transport, energy and environment, and defence. The organisation recruits mechanical and electrical engineers, systems engineers, computer science grads, and maths and physics graduates from universities all around the world.
In the UK it also has very strong ties with universities such as Bath, Newcastle, Southampton and Strathclyde, with a particular emphasis on graduates studying naval architecture and ship science.
"Within maritime engineering we are increasingly interested in electrical engineers," says BMT Defence Sector director, David Rainford, "particularly in the power and propulsion sector as there's an increasing movement towards all electric ships as opposed to diesel."
Multi-disciplinary organisations like BMT are also keen to promote the issue of transferrable skills. Rainford, who originally trained as an aeronautical engineer hasn't actually practiced it since he joined BMT in 1985.
"I've been engaged in wind-tunnel testing for Formula 1 cars to working on military ships and submarines, to railways, bridges, and tunnels. I couldn't have thought of a better or more exciting career."
Electrical engineering
The last two years has seen a significant increase in the employment opportunities for electrical engineers in Western Europe and the US. Likewise salaries for electrical engineers have started climbing at rate that exceeds other disciplines. A major contributor to this about-turn is the energy business – currently worth six trillion dollars a year – one tenth of the world's economic output.
"There's no question that the way we produce, distribute, store and consume energy is changing dramatically," explains Dr. Moshe Kam, president and ceo of the IEEE.
"For quite a few years the traditional area of power systems was progressing nicely but not dramatically - but all of a sudden we're seeing an explosion in imagination and intellectual challenges. There's a lot happening – wind energy, reclaiming from sea waves, deriving energy from outer space - which is giving electrical engineers who are innovative and willing to take risks in new ventures vast opportunities in this field."
Another potential hotspot for electrical engineers is in the financial industry.
"One thing we have learned from the recent financial crisis is that you need to have employees that know what they are doing," says Dr Kam. "Financial engineering in its true sense – forecasting and data analysis - is continually improving and electrical engineers who are well-versed in algorithms design and testing may find this a very rewarding career to work in."
Software engineering
University courses in computer science are rocketing in popularity in the UK, and with many new courses being introduced more and more young people are drawn to this field as a career – particularly within the areas of reliability and safety.
AdaCore is a computer software company that provides open source software tools and expertise for mission, safety and security-critical software for the aviation, medical and military spheres. It is also one of the longest advocates of FLOSS (Freely Licensed Open Source Software). The company has recently acquired a number of government and European sponsored research projects and takes on PhD research students to assist – using its specially developed Ada programming language.
"Our philosophy is teaching programming the 'right way'," explains AdaCore marketing director Jamie Ayre. "When you're dealing with 'critical' projects you can't write reams of programs and then debug it after. The Ada programming language makes you think before you run your program and it's restricted at language level, so even if you're only writing one line of code a day you know that you won't have to go back to debug it."
Ayre believes firmly in installing good programming ethics within the student population as early as possible in their training. To this effect in 2010 Ada-Europe introduced the "Ada Way" annual student programming contest among student teams, whereby each team must have a university affiliation and be endorsed by an educator. The idea is to offer soon-to-be graduate job hunters a real opportunity to gain hands-on experience before taking up a career in software engineering.
"We're seeing a rebirth of academic programmes that allow students to enter jobs with hardcore software skills and the ability to think outside of the box. Our programming competition aims to get students involved in building an application that requires lateral thinking as well as pure maths knowledge."
Global engineering
As industries and economies progress worldwide, engineering has evolved significantly from its traditional foundations. Long-standing engineering roles in mechanical and electrical engineering are now making way for new demands in areas such as "clean" energy. The development of these new industries is generating an emerging set of engineering skills requirements and an evolved mind-set for engineers looking for new opportunities.
"The new technical and industry expertise required from engineers presents opportunities for graduates and those in the global workforce who can bring new skills and fresh thinking to the engineering world," says Richard Hutchings, vice president of Engineering Services for Experis, a global leader in professional resourcing and project-based workforce solutions.
"Right now, US employers are finding it difficult to find the engineers with the right skills for their business. According to our most recent talent shortage survey, engineers ranked as third hardest job to fill in 2011."
Experis works with employers to incorporate new and innovative recruitment strategies to attract and retain the engineers they need for business success.
"In 2012, employers need to be taking a long-term view of their staffing requirements to identify those transferrable skills within their businesses - to utilise existing talent and create the most valuable path of development for future workforces," Hutchings concludes.

Question about Panasonic KX-T7730 Corded Phone
Trying to figure out if my call ID is working on the phone vs. a problem on the outside. Manual doesn't show how to figure if call id is on
Posted by freesurf on
If your phone has caller ID capabilities it should register when the call comes in. To prove your phone is good try it on a circuit that has verified caller ID. Have you paid for the caller ID option,if you have, the phone company may have neglected to turn it on. Thank you. Jer

iPad Pro – is this the device Advisers have been waiting for?
In over 25 years working with Financial Advisers I have seen a plethora of new hardware come and go. From the first bulky Toshiba laptops to Microsoft's first attempt at a touch interface using a stylus. None seemed to really capture the imagination of Advisers or particularly meet their needs. But is that about to change? Apple have recently launched the iPad Pro, which could be the killer piece of hardware for the Adviser community.
Advisers are great communicators and to deliver good customer outcomes they need to make the complex simple. As such their focus is rightly on presenting not producing information. Face to face meetings are to provide reassurance and strengthen relationships, so technology needs to support this not hinder it. Robo Advice is the current focus for innovation and while it undoubtedly has a place, there is no substitute for human interaction and this device has the potential to enhance meetings and conversations. Indeed Advisers could use the device to work on automated advice solutions with their clients, helping to streamline the process and make the whole exercise a better experience for all.
I feel the iPad Pro is arguably the perfect device for an Adviser. The speed is great so suits those with little time or patience and the large screen is ideal for presenting. Plus the touch interface is so familiar it makes sharing it with clients very natural. To deliver a great experience a product or service needs to be enjoyable, easy to use and must meet the needs of the target market. From an Advisers perspective this might just deliver on all three fronts.
Create your own user feedback survey
The new accessories offer great flexibility. An effective full size keyboard means it is a genuine alternative to a laptop while the Apple pencil means that for the non-typists, there is the ability to capture notes digitally and reduce paper. Plus it allows them to use illustrations to discuss technical issues, which can be extremely powerful as many of us are visual learners. Furthermore as we move closer to widespread adoption of digital signatures, it should make the process of executing such as terms of business and applications much easier. Having recently tested the pencil I can safely say it is streets ahead of other similar tools.
Finally with mobile internet access and the prevalence of home wifi, access to online services such as client portals, document management systems, planning applications and even CRM is just a touch away.
This device has the potential to be a game changer and give Advisers technology that fits seamlessly into their working practices.

Viagra is a common medicament used to treat erectile malfunction. A lot of folk around the World think about "tadalafil online". What do you know about "buy tadalafil online"? Other question we have to is "buy tadalafil". Sure, sexual problems can help doldrums and, even more importantly, can leave you and your partner feeling frustrated. Prescription medications can help us, but they can also come with perhaps serious side effects. It's vital to think that not all medications are innocent. Nowadays, online apothecary can with ease help you for solving your all personal disturbances.

|Though he does wear it - and makes it look good!
It turns out baby wearing doesn't hurt your back, having a baby hurts your back. Sure it's great having a wonderful stroller, but the babe would sometimes much rather ride in your arms, thank you. Or your awesome stroller won't fit through the tiny aisles in the stores you want to go to. Or you want to go to a restaurant but you don't want to take up 500% more space with a bulky stroller. Or you're at home with a cranky baby that just wants to be held but you'd like your arms back, thanks. And let's face it, all the hip looking moms are doing it which makes me want to as well (hey I'm just being honest). This is not to say that I don't love our stroller since I use it almost everyday, but for all the reasons above I entered the world of baby wearing.
My first time using the ergo was when H was only a few weeks old. He was fussy at home and so I popped him in and presto, he was sleeping and my hands were free to hold a beer (bad mommy!) Of course 'popped him in' implies the Ergo was easy to use at first. It was not. Especially with that insert you need for new babies. That thing was the main reason I didn't use the Ergo much for the first few months.
A friend had also leant me a pouch sling and had assured me that it was amazing. But try as I might I could not stuff me and my boy into it comfortably. In search of something easier to use than the ergo but also adjustable I bought the Maya Wrap, a ring sling, which had the benefit of also being really pretty (let's face it - these things matter). I had hoped it would be love at first wear, but sadly no. However after some practice we figured it out and now it comes many places with us and has saved me on several occasions where the babe was just done with the stroller and we were miles from home.
The problem is, now I'm hooked. I love the snugly feeling of carrying H close and there are just so many ways to do it. Uh oh, another way to spend $$$ on baby gear. In an effort to not break the bank I tried my hand at making a Moby wrap using this tutorial. It worked! Though really I shouldn't be so surprised since the directions are buy 5 yards of fabric, cut in half. And now that I know how easy it is, I want to make more in different fabrics. Uh oh again.
Ok so the point of all this was to write some of the things I've learned about baby wearing for future Alyssa. So here it is:
~ All types of carriers have a learning curve. Keep practicing, it gets easier. And YouTube videos are your friend.
~ Ditch the Ergo for newborns. If I could do it again I would have saved the money I spent on the infant insert and put it towards something else. Once H had some neck control and his legs were long enough to sit properly in it he liked it sooo much more.
~ Tying the moby was not as bad as it seemed at first and a ring sling takes some adjusting too. If I could go back in time I might have started with the moby since it sits on both shoulders and is easier on the back. But H is starting to really like facing forward in his sling, so I'm glad I have it.
~ You really need to be moving for baby to be happy, at least until he falls asleep.
~ Carrying your baby will not solve all your problems. When H was around 6 weeks and in his cranky pants phase I thought that baby wearing would turn our fussy evenings into happy cooing baby times. As with everything that I thought would solve all our problems, I was bitterly dissapointed. Whaat? There are no quick fixes in parenthood?
And now some blurry iphone pics of us in our new faux-Moby, aka a piece of fabric. And yes, I'm going to do something about my hair.


text: Yes! It feels like eternity, but Levi has finally finished his Eagle project after a grueling campaign from his parents (mostly his mother). He has had all of the his merit badges for quite some time, but just needed to get over the hump with this project of his. All he has to do now is complete his paperwork, which may just take as long as his latest achievement. ;) We are shooting to have his Board of Review and Court of Honor by his 16th birthday, which is just over 90 days from now.

Product Description
A Friendly Seat For Easy Toilet Training
A child is more likely to use a big-person toilet if he or she feels comfortable doing so, and the Toilet Trainer is designed to achieve this. Making kids feel safe and at ease, the trainer's soft, ergonomic shape provides a comfortable seat without any sharp angles. However, always help your child climb on and off the toilet trainer until it is safe for the child to do it on his or her own. The contoured curves also make it easy for kids to get on and off the toilet by themselves, helping them feel independent. To encourage this independence, a perfect accompaniment to the BabyBjörn Toilet Trainer is the BabyBjörn Safe Step. Another key design feature of the Toilet Trainer is its opening, which is wide enough for parents to help kids wipe, but small enough to prevent a child from slipping through.
Fits Toilets Of All Sizes
No matter how large or small the toilet is, the BabyBjörn Toilet Trainer will fit. The trainer features an adjustable dial that adapts it to toilets of all sizes. The bottom of the trainer has a soft rubber edge and adjustable wings, both of which ensure that it stays in place securely and doesn't slide under little bottoms.
Minimizes Messes With Built-In Splash Guard
The BabyBjörn Toilet Trainer makes for hassle free cleaning for parents and caregivers. An integrated, angled splash guard helps prevent kids from making messes outside of the toilet. This splash proof feature translates to fewer accidents for kids, which in turn builds their confidence and makes them feel secure about using the full size toilet again and again.
Cleans Easily
For those family members who don't require the training seat, the Toilet Trainer has a convenient, built in handle that makes it easy to remove and replace. It is easily cleaned with hot water. Like all BabyBjörn designed products, the Toilet Trainer has a distinctive style.

Kapernick's Problems
My first column questioning whether Colin Kaepernick would have a successful career with the 49ers got the reaction I expected: Are you out of your mind?
Perhaps now readers understand what I was talking about.
My long experience with the NFL has taught me that unusual players and systems have a short shelf life. Remember when "Tebow Time" was the hot story, when media members were falling all over themselves talking about Tebow being the same sensation in the NFL as he was in college? I saw him against the Raiders when he missed wide open receivers and realized he would soon be exposed. I wrote that and it soon happened.
It is certainly possible for a quarterback who is also a good runner to be successful, as Steve Young was. But in college, Young had been a drop back passer, setting an NCAA record for completion percentage. He had picked up bad habits in the USFL and with a bad Tampa Bay team, but when he shucked those and learned Bill Walsh's system, he became a Hall of Famer.
In the current NFL, Russell Wilson is a quarterback who can run for yardage or gain time to throw by dodging potential tacklers in the backfield. But Wilson is always looking first to throw, with running the option only when all passing routes are shut down.
Kaepernick is not that kind of quarterback. He played in the "Pistol" offense in college, which gave him the option of either running or passing, and he excelled at that.
But this is the NFL, and the performance bar is much higher. Unfortunately, Kaepernick has always thought he could play the same way he did in college and his success level has dropped and dropped. Now, it's at the bottom.
It isn't all his fault, of course. The offensive line is a sieve because of significant losses through retirement of key players and injuries. But even when he has time to throw, Kaepernick is throwing balls into the ground or going for a short yardage pass when a receiver like Antwan Boldin, who catches everything, is open on a deep route.
The 49ers sent Kaepernick to Arizona in the offseason to work with Kurt Warner, who was the ultimate pocket passer. Do you see any signs of that in Kap now? Of course not.
Frankly, his career is on the line now. I think the 49ers will soon start Blaine Gabbert, perhaps even in the next game. Gabbert's career got off to a bad start because he was drafted by a bad team but he looked sharp in the exhibition season and seems poised to show that he's a legitimate NFL quarterback. If he does, the 49ers may start him for the rest of the season.
Kaepernick signed a team-friendly contract with the Niners because he was confident of his future but now, that means it will be easy for the Niners to cut their ties with him at season's end. And I doubt another team will pick him up.
What do YOU think? Let me know!

The QG Management Standards have been written using the principles of ISO 9001/14001/27001 & OHSAS 18001 which helps SME's understand the management system and then gives them an opportunity to implement a fit for purpose foundation system into their company. The standards are recognised as an externally accredited management system and can be used to gain business through PQQ's and tenders.
The QG system has two levels of assurance;
To obtain your Fundamentals Certificate you are required to provide evidence that you meet the Fundamentals Requirements. We have made this easy for you by providing a standard questionnaire that asks you the relevant questions, you'll need to attach some items such as screen grabs or policy notes to evidence compliance. On completing the questionnaire to our satisfaction you will be awarded your Fundamentals Certificate. The successful completion of the QG Management template* meets this requirement.
Fundamentals PLUS
You may be required to provide further assurance to your customers that you meet the requirements of the Fundamentals programme. This is called Fundamentals PLUS and involves an audit at your premises of your management systems (for Cyber Essentials PLUS some technical testing) as well as the completion of your questionnaire. As this level of assurance needs a site visit costs can vary.
Risk Matrix
The level of the requirements are defined in the risk matrices. There are two matrices;
Each standard comes with their own set of documentation, they can be downloaded below;
Health & Safety
Information Security
QG Accredited Practitioner Support
QG Accredited Practitioners have been trained by ourselves in the implementation of the QG Management Standard. They each use the QG Management template* to build and document your management system and will provide a system fully compliant with the QG Standard. It would not be right for Practitioners to do this alone, whilst they'll give you guidance to produce the documentation you are required to implement the system into your own organisation. When systems are combined such as Quality and Environment only one document will be produced to combine the systems. QG Accredited Practitioners are independent to QG Business Solutions the operator of the scheme. Practitioner support can be a combination of onsite and offsite support.
QG Assessors (Essentials PLUS)
QG Assessors carry out assessments on site against the QG Management Standards. They may or may not be Accredited Practitioners but they WILL NOT be the same Practitioner that you have used for your implementation.
*QG Management Template
The QG Management Template is a copyrighted document used by QG Accredited Practitioners to implement systems to the QG Standards. Use of the template and practitioners can often be more cost effective than doing it yourself as systems are generally compliant first time.

1. Counting 1s:
1s in siteswaps, or any other pattern that includes them like the shower pattern, are counted as catches. For example 5 cycles of a 5 prop shower pattern (siteswap: 91) would be a qualify or 10 catches as opposed to just 5 catches.
2. Can't find a pattern:
It is possible that the pattern you want is not here. If that is the case you can suggest it at the bottom of the search page.
3. Counting multiplexes:
Multiplexes are counted as individual catches for each of the props involved in the multiplex catch. For example if one were to make 3 successful cycles of the 6 prop stacked multiplex pattern [33] it would be recorded as 6 catches for each individual catch and not just 3 catches for 3 multiplex catches.
4. What is siteswap:
Siteswap is notation used to describe juggling patterns. If you don't already know the basics a useful article to help you understand can be found here.
5. How does reputation work:
Everyone starts with a reputation score of exactly ten. From there every like received increments their reputation by 0.04 and every dislike decrements it by 0.1.
The quicklist is the list you can access by hovering over the list icon in the top right of the website. From there you can quickly jump to different patterns and juggler pages on the site. To add and remove patterns from your list go to the relevant pattern page and to add and remove jugglers go to their pages.
This website makes use of Juggling Lab, free software for animating juggling patterns. You can get it and find out more about it here.

FURTHER action is required to improve a local authority's children's social care service, 12 months after coming up with a plan bring it up to scratch.
It is now a year since Durham County Council produced an "Ofsted action plan" to make improvements to its children and young people's services, which were rated as requiring improvement by the watchdog following an inspection in February and March last year.
Of the 14 recommendations made by Ofsted, four have been given a "green" rating, using a traffic light rating system, while the remaining ten have been given an "amber" one.
A "one year on" report, due to be discussed by members of the council's cabinet next week, says good progress has been made in most areas but adds that the quality of case recording is not yet at the required level, and social workers are still dealing with higher than desired case loads with increasing demand for services.
Since June 2016 the number of open cases dealt with by local authority social workers has increased by 383, while the number of looked after children has risen from 715 to 800.
The council has invested £1.38m in its budget for the service, which has resulted in the the creation of a new team in Easington, four extra positions in the child protection service and six in the 'looked after' service, as well as number of new roles.
Each social worker is meant to have no more than 20 cases but 57 per cent of staff still have more than the desired number.
However, the number with more than 30 cases has decreased from 17 per cent to six per cent since the Ofsted inspection, with 32 per cent having between 20 and 24 cases.
To deal with a shortage in staffing, the council created a Social Work Academy and plans to expand that to fill vacant posts
Vacancies for social workers remained at around 35 or 36 from November 2016 to April 2017, but in May dropped to a low of 28.
The report adds that 61 per cent of casework is now graded good or better – a 21 per cent increase – with expectations that it will reach 80 to 100 per cent by March 2018 and 90 to 100 per cent by the following year.
Some targets, which were due to have been reached by last March, have had to be extended to March 2018.
Cllr Olwyn Gunn, Cabinet member for children and young people, said: "We put the interests of our children and young people at the heart of everything we do and it is really pleasing to note the continuing improvements that are being made across our services for them.
"We really are making good progress in addressing the recommendations made by our partners at Ofsted with all identified actions either implemented or in progress.
"It is particularly pleasing to see the increased staffing levels in social services and the commitment to filling vacancies which should all contribute to further reducing caseloads of existing staff.
"Despite these positive developments, we all recognise there is still room for improvements and our children and young people and their families can be assured we are committing to getting better."

Plan Investments and Fiduciary Duties
With the rise of the 401(k) plan as a primary vehicle to fund retirement, there has been a concomitant rise in litigation challenging ERISA fiduciaries regarding plan investments, including investments in employer stock in publicly traded companies, valuing and acquiring privately held ESOPs, and fee and expense litigation in 401(k) plans. Attorneys at HJRF have extensive experience in defending and advising fiduciaries regarding these issues, including from member Robert Rachal's prior work at the premier ERISA litigation practice at Proskauer. Technology and partnering with providers, in-house counsel, and other law firms allows us to handle cases of all sizes, and couple our experience in the area with the service and value offered by a smaller firm. Some of the significant cases and advice in this area includes:
- Litigation on closely held ESOP investments – Hans v. Tharaldson, 2011 WL 7179644 (Oct. 31, 2011) (defending seller/ESOP trustee; summary judgment rulings on claim ESOP paid too much for $1 billion hotel company); 2011 WL 6937598 (Dec. 23, 20110 (Daubert rulings); 2010 WL 1856267 (D.N.D. May 7, 2010) (class rulings) (successful summary judgment and Daubert rulings led to amicable settlement).
- Advise directors & officers on fiduciary duties – Advise and present to boards and officers of Fortune 500 companies on minimizing fiduciary risks and exposures, including in merger and acquisitions, and on employer stock investments.
- Advise on limiting fee and expense exposures in 401(k) plans – Advise companies and financial institutions on best practices and ways to limit exposures on fees and expenses for 401(k) plans.
- Litigation on plan investments in publicly traded employer stock – Hastings v. Wilson, 516 F.3d 1055 (8th Feb. 22, 2008) (defending ALPA-appointed committee members) (successfully asserted standing and Railway Labor Act defenses that led to case dismissal); Langbecker v. EDS, 476 F.3d 299 (5th Cir. 2007) (defending company, CEO, CFO, and plan committees) (successful strategy attacking class led to amicable settlement below amount previously rejected by the district court); Brown v. Owens Corning, 622 F.3d 564 (6th Cir. 2010) (defending trustee against class action claims breached duties re 401(k) plan investments in employer stock) (Sixth Circuit affirmed dismissal based on adoption of broad rule on accrual of statute of limitation defense).

Raging Fever's return spot a thorny one
JAMAICA, N.Y. - It appeared to be a good plan at the time. After being forced to miss most of her 3-year-old season because of injury, Raging Fever would get her winter campaign started in Saturday's $75,000 Garland of Roses, an ungraded sprint for fillies and mares that typically comes up light.
Except for this year.
Raging Fever, away from the races since April, will have to make her return against Xtra Heat, the top sprinting filly in the country in Saturday's Garland of Roses at Aqueduct.
"You're going up against the best sprinting filly in the country," said Seth Gregory, assistant to trainer Mark Hennig. "You certainly can't be as confident as you would have been if she were not in there."
In 2000, Raging Fever was one of the top juvenile fillies in the country, winning her first five races, including the Matron and Frizette, both Grade 1 events. She faltered as the favorite in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, finishing sixth behind longshot Caressing. The loss cost her an Eclipse Award.
Raging Fever was defeated by Mandy's Gold in her 3-year-old debut, running second in the Dame Mysterieuse Stakes at Gulfstream Park. After her third-place finish in the Grade 2 Beaumont at Keeneland on April 22, Raging Fever suffered a fracture in the growth plate of her stifle.
No surgery was required, but Raging Fever needed several months off. She returned to Hennig's barn in August at Saratoga and has had an uninterrupted training campaign since.
"She's trained very, very well," Gregory said. "It's always a question mark coming back off the layoff, but she's worked super, always has plenty of finish."
At 116 pounds, Raging Fever will be in receipt of eight pounds from Xtra Heat (124). Others expected to run include Dat You Miz Blue (120), Elektraline (115), Golightly (113), Look of the Lynx (113), Tina Dynamite (112) and Carafe (111).
Gregory said Raging Fever is expected to ship to Florida for the winter after the Garland of Roses, but Hennig's stable will still be active in filly and mare stakes over the inner track.
Summer Colony, a winner of four straight races, will make her stakes debut in the Ladies Handicap on Dec. 22. With Ability will be pointed to the Interborough Handicap on Jan. 1 and A.O.L. Hayes will be pointed to races like the Affectionately and Rare Treat.
Pentatonic retired
Pentatonic, the multiple-stakes winning New York-bred mare, came out of her fourth-place finish in Sunday's Montauk Handicap with a minor injury and has been retired, trainer Richard Schosberg said Wednesday.
"She came back very stiff in her stifle, which is a problem she's had for a few years although it hadn't been real, real bad," Schosberg said. "Obviously, she didn't run her race. We decided to call it a career and a quite successful one at that."
Her fourth-place finish Sunday earned Pentatonic $4,860 and pushed her career earnings to $601,861 for owner Sheila Sherry. Pentatonic, a daughter of Cure the Blues, had a 9-5-5 record from 29 starts. She won the Grade 3 Affectionately Handicap in January as well as the Montauk Handicap last December. In June, 2000, she finished second behind Beautiful Pleasure in the Grade 1 Hempstead.
"She has absolutely nothing left to prove," Schosberg said. "She beat horses like Pompeii, Serra Lake, Strolling Belle, Secret Status and was second to Beautiful Pleasure."
Schosberg said plans for Pentatonic's breeding plans have not yet been finalized.
Schosberg does have Pentatonic's full-sister, Tickles, who probably won't make her debut until next spring.
"At this point, it looks like she might be able to carry the ball," Schosberg said.
Kelly eyes Aqueduct 'Cap for Evening Attire
Trainer Pat Kelly can only hope Evening Attire likes the inner track as well as the main. After winning both the Discovery and Queens County over the main track, Evening Attire is expected to make his next start in the Aqueduct Handicap over the inner on Jan. 19.
"I hope he likes that track like the big track," Kelly said. "His style looks good; he sort of lays close."
Kelly said he wasn't surprised that Evening Attire was able to run as well in the Queens County as he did in the Discovery. "It was a big race," Kelly said. "But he trained well in between."
Kelly said his stakes-winning turf sisters, Cozzy Corner and Riskaverse, are vacationing in Aiken, S.C., for the winter. They will get January and February off before returning to Kelly's New York barn in March for an April return to the races.

By now, we all realize that the cost of gasoline will only continue rising. I've got a little tip for those who use Shell gas in your vehicles or may consider doing so. If you purchase your fuel with a Shell Gas Station Card, you can save up to 6% of your cost. You don't save this 6% directly at the pump when you fill up, but instead, you get each amount rebated back to you in the form of cash back bonuses.
Years ago it was quite popular to use a particular brand name Shell Gas Station Card, such as Shell, Amoco, Exxon, etc., to use for all of your purchases at your preferred brand gas station. Over the years these companies have moved away from these types of cards. Today, they are partnering with major credit card companies to offer MasterCard® and VISA® with restricted cash back and bonus deals in exchange for your loyalty. My friend I over at tattoo removal Atlanta has one of these, and uses it almost every day.
Now, you cannot use just any MasterCard® or VISA® for gas station credit cards, though many, but not all, do allow you 1% cash back. So, to get your best deal, it pays to know what is available to you. If you want specifically Shell gas credit cards, then you need to make a little comparison.
You will also find that you can get other cash back options and rebates for many other purchases when you use your card. These too will vary. Some example savings include purchases at restaurants, grocery stores, home improvements stores, and travel rewards. Yes, you can buy your groceries and get cashback. You can take a vacation or business trip and get cash back for your airline tickets, car rentals, and hotel stays too. The possibilities are endless, but as I said, all of these rewards vary by which card you choose.
In most, but not all, cases you will not have to pay an annual fee. You should always read all of the terms and conditions that are applicable before you apply so as not to have any surprises. In most cases, an issuer will require you to have a least a good credit rating too. There are exceptions, but read all of the fine print.
If you are concerned with the rising cost of gasoline, want to save as much as you possibly can, and use your card wisely, then I recommend you apply for a Shell gas credit card and use it for all of your purchases at the gas pumps.
Save Money With Shell Gas Station Card.
Gas credit card recently caught a hype because gas prices are increasing way too fast for consumers to cope. Companies, including both gas companies and non-gas companies, are issuing gas credit cards to secure loyal customers. In this blog post, we are going to look at how one can apply for a gas credit card and properly utilize it as a money saver.
Gas Credit Card to Save Money Step #1 Find Them
Most gas credit card offers are being advertised through different medias such as newspaper advertisements and at all the main gas stations. However, to save your expenses, it is best to find one that offers cash back regarding other gas. This is crucial as other rewards might get you things that you do not need.
Gas Credit Card to Save Money Step #2 Plan and Swipe
You can start swiping the card after you have put your signature on the card. However, before swiping the card, it is important to keep in mind that payment for the amount due is to be made on time. One only delay will bring in high-interest rates on the amount owing, and this will make your money saving plan goes bust.
Gas Credit Card to Save Money Step #3 Spend Your Rewards
This is the step where you will be saving money. Every time you spend money on gas, make sure that you track the reward points that you have earned. This will let you know when you will be entitled to free gas. There might be other rewards such as car accessories, but you must keep your site on free gas only as you do not need these extras.
Must Know Tips on Gas Credit Card
Some cards can be beneficial when it comes to rewarding their holders. They include a benefit such as earning free gas while shopping at selected merchants. You must read the terms in offers closely to spot out these rare giveaways.
To make yourself able to pay the amount due on time, follow this simple trick. Every time you make a gas purchase with your gas credit card, withdraw the amount spent from your bank account and keep it in a small container. Remember that the money kept in the container cannot be touched until the gas bills come. Doing this will give you the cash to pay the gas bills.

More big quakes in 2004?
A series of major earthquakes shook the earth in December 2003, and now in the New Year, but scientists say the frequency is just coincidental.
BY SUSAN KIM | BALTIMORE | January 2, 2004
Earthquakes in places that aren't populated never seem to capture media attention.
John Minsch
A series of major earthquakes shook the earth in December 2003, and now in the New Year, but scientists say the frequency is just coincidental.
News reports might have the public concerned that the big one is just around the corner or at least a rattling future.
Yesterday a 5.7 quake sent people fleeing into the streets of Mexico City.
On Dec. 27, a 7.3-magnitude temblor hit southeast of the Loyalty Islands (a sparsely populated area about 1,000 miles east of Australia).
The day before that, a 6.6 earthquake in southeast Iran killed an estimated 40,000 people. The week before that on Dec. 22 a 6.5 jolt in the U.S. killed two people in Paso Robles, Calif.
Earlier in December, a 6.8 earthquake hit Taiwan on Dec. 10, and on Dec. 9 a rare 4.5 quake hit the state of Virginia.
And that's the short list of only the big quakes.
Is there any way these could be connected?
No, answered John Minsch, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey's National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colo.
The recent spate of quakes is just coincidence, said Minsch. "They're not even on the same fault line. There are just periods of time when they all seem to happen at once," he said.
And sometimes that's a matter of public perception, he added. "Earthquakes in places that aren't populated never seem to capture media attention."
The Loyalty Islands quake is a case in point. Though a large magnitude 7.3 the temblor struck in a remote area that's simply off the radar screen for most media outlets aside from scholarly publications that excite geophysicists.
Does the spate of recent earthquakes give any indication the world is on the brink of an even bigger one?
No again, said Mensch. "Clusters of earthquakes offer no indication or prediction of what will happen."
Though scientists can crunch numbers and offer statistics and probabilities regarding upcoming earthquakes, "that doesn't give you a whole lot," admitted Mensch, "in that we can't say when and how big."
But even loose statistics such as the probability that an earthquake 6.0 or higher will strike a certain area can help the public be more aware, he said. "Scientists can certainly tell what areas need to be more prepared."
Recent earthquakes have brought before the public eye the stark reality that earthquake preparation on a global level is severely lacking.
While the New Year's Day 5.7 quake in Mexico City did little more than make vacationers temporarily flee Acapulco's ocean-side hotels, the 6.6 quake in Iran brought such calamitous loss of life that disaster responders said it reached "biblical proportions."
The Iran earthquake is that country's worst disaster in 13 years. Bam was home to some 103,000 people. Some 90 percent of the mud-brick buildings were either destroyed or damaged by the pre-dawn December 26 quake.
Both Iranian government officials and foreign experts have already said poor design, primitive materials and widely ignored building codes were the prime causes of the high death rate.
The high death rate is a stark contrast to the similar magnitude quake in California that killed two people. The two quakes had not only a similar magnitude, but also similar depths of about 10 miles below ground as well.
The deaths in California were both attributed to the collapse of a clock tower that dated back to the 1800s - a structure that obviously did not meet current building codes.
In Iran, a Tehran University report indicated that there are building codes in the country but that they are not followed, that safety laws are only "in theory," and that no authority controls construction.
The Iranian government, meanwhile, has promised "an inquiry."
Earthquake mitigation can make a huge difference in terms of loss of life. A tremor measuring 8.0 caused 500 injuries and no deaths in Japan in September.
Earthquake damage more varied than damaged caused by many other disasters can include collapsed buildings and bridges; disrupted gas, electric and phone service; landslides and avalanches; flash floods; fires; and huge, destructive ocean waves known as tsunamis.
Buildings with foundations resting on unconsolidated landfill, old waterways or other unstable soil are most at risk. And buildings or trailers and manufactured homes not tied to a reinforced foundation anchored to the ground are also at risk since they can be shaken off their mountings during an earthquake.
And Iran's mud-brick homes were particularly vulnerable. Low-priced and popular, they were cool in summer and warm in winter. But they crumbled easily, suffocating many people who survived the actual quake.
Earthquake preparation steps are not all tied to building codes. At least some residents can take small measure to prepare and protect their families by picking "safe places" in each room of their home.
A safe place could be under a sturdy table or desk or against an interior wall away from windows, bookcases or tall furniture that could fall. The shorter the distance to move to safety, the less like someone is to be injured. Injury statistics show that people moving as little as 10 feet during an earthquake are most likely to be injured.
Earthquake experts also urge people to pick safe places in their office, school and other buildings they may frequent.
During a quake, people can also reduce the likelihood of injury by dropping under a sturdy desk or table and, holding on to one leg of the table or desk, protect their eyes by keeping their head down.

They showed up on time and installed 21 windows all in one day. When they left, my yard was cleaner than when they arrived. I am very pleased with all aspects of the job and I HIGHLY recommend them.

In order to set up a "small informal test" to see what happens to an individual's attention in the space of multiple media platforms, I kept it quite simple and informal. As you asked me to 😉
Now, I may sound like a typical nagging girlfriend, but my boyfriend cannot multitask to save his life. For instance, if he's on his phone, scrolling through Facebook and I say his name, "Abel"… "Abel"… "Abel. Abel. Abel. Abel." And then, to be honest, I usually end up smacking the phone out of his hand or pull his ear. Once his eyes are in focus, and his brain is occupied, it's like his ears switch off. And that's just with one media platform in front of him, with me to distract, or vice versa. In order to test his levels of focus/distraction around more than one form of technology, we sat down to watch a movie, with our phones sitting next to us. I merely took note of the amount of times Abel picked up his phone– and then what he did with it.
Within the first 45 minutes of the movie, he picked his phone up twice. Once, to read a message he received from a friend, which he didn't reply to. And second, to scroll through Facebook. He clicked to watch a 'funny' video– I slapped the phone out of his hand (informal test indeed). Other than that, the only time I saw him glance at his phone was during a lull or boring part in the film– and whatever the distraction, it never lasted too long. However, this test was undertaken during a fairly riveting and engaging film. Had it been a movie we had either watched before or didn't grab our attention, I am sure Abel (and myself) would have found ourselves more easily distracted. All of that aside, if our mobile phones were not with us and we had left them in another room, we would only be distracted by ourselves.
After watching the commercial from Thailand about "disconnecting to connect", it's so easy to understand how we become so absorbed by our phones, by the cyber world, but there's a time and a place. Learning to be 'present' with ourselves, the people around us, and the environment we're in, is beneficial in so many ways– learning to focus in decreases the height of mental illnesses. While using our phones or tablets can be a great way for communication, it cuts us off from what is real and becomes a major, controlling distraction.

Despite our being several years into the 21st century, household appliances remain resolutely old-fashioned, dull and, well, square. Until now! We don't know what inspired the maverick genius responsible for the Chilli*Egg to break with tradition and design an ovoid fridge (possibly massive quantities of hallucinogenics) but we are glad he did! Hopefully the Chilli*Egg will usher in a golden age of futuristic, Jetsons-style 'white goods' with which we can furnish our space-age bachelor pads. Or bedrooms.
In addition to its sleek, eyecatching form (which will surely conjure up fond memories of 'Mork and Mindy' among people of a certain age) the Chilli*Egg ups the funky-factor by sporting superfly blue-glowing LED-lit side panels. As Jeremy Clarkson would say, given half a chance, if this fridge was a car, it would be a superfast, Max-Powered Astra hatchback pocket rocket. Rather wonderfully, the Chilli*Egg comes complete with a car cigar-lighter adaptor which means you can keep a four-pack of lager, a couple of bottles of wine, or loads of Mars Bars nicely chilled on the way back from the shops.
But wait! There's more! In addition to it's respectable chilling credentials - and they're solid, since it can cool to 25ºC below ambient temperature - the Chilli*Egg can, at the flick of a switch, convert into a heating device, able to warm food (or drink, who are we to judge?) up to 65ºC.
So what are you waiting for? The only reason we can think of not to get a Chilli*Egg fridge is that you might come home to find a Giant Moa* perched atop it, and as they were native to New Zealand and have been extinct for several hundred years we don't think you need to worry about that.
* a very, very big bird.

If they may be able to't figure it out, then they appear on the documentation, they ask any person, and they be taught the method.
A Bit Geeky :
Databases are an imperative a part of how all of us market at present. Your Marketing automation platform collects knowledge, organizes it for you, and supplies that information to you at your request. As a consequence, advertising and marketing automation experts comprehend database standards. You don't necessarily have got to know SQL or how one can code, but you do have to comprehend the principles at the back of them.
Traffic Cop :
A marketing automation knowledgeable works at the intersection of earnings, advertising and technological know-how. The advertising automation trained shouldn't be an engineer, however has realized how technological know-how methods work, can manage databases, and understands the impact of marketing automation across the group.

Both approach, lay out the advertising and marketing automation approach earlier than you increase it within your marketing automation platform.
As you enhance the workflow automation for your platform, that you may create a more intricate program over time. Having a flowchart with clear triggers, choices, and tactics will help you report what you probably did, explain it to others, as well as enable you to return and reference areas when some thing goes incorrect.

Michelle Williams denies bust-up with Ledger's family over willJune 25th, 2008 - 6:13 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, June 25 (ANI): Michelle Williams rep has dismissed reports that the actress is snubbing the premiere of 'Batman Begins' sequel 'The Dark Knight' because of a fight with Heath Ledger's parents over the late actor's will.
Reports suggested that Williams wouldn't attend the screening of Ledger's last complete film, because she is angry at Ledger's father Kim's handling of the actor's estate.
A source said she is still furious with them because she has seen nothing from Ledger's will.
However, her representative insists the claim is absurd.
"The presumption that Michelle ever intended to attend The Dark Knight premiere is unfounded, but to say she is 'boycotting' due to a rift with Heaths family is absurd, Usmagazine.com quoted the rep, as saying.
"It is time to allow this family to go about their lives without this continued scrutiny and speculation," the rep added. (ANI)

Exciting News! We just opened our Amazon Affiliate Shopping Cart!
Amazon is a well recognized name in the RV world and we hope you'll click thru our cart to shop on Amazon. It will be just like shopping at Amazon directly - exact same prices and info. Just look thru our cart, select whatever you like and it will go DIRECTLY to Amazon. Purchasing, Shipping, Returns, etc. are ALL done thru Amazon!! Great Program
We just get a small "affiliate fee" for displaying on our website. This commission will help us financially live on the road independently!!
Maintenance of your RV will cover a multitude of items. As the commercial has said many times:
"Pay Me Now or Pay Me (More) Later"
This section isn't so much about who does it. Really doesn't matter - just be sure you perform the typical services needed for the vehicle(s) you have.
Just like your stick and brick house - it needed to be painted, repaired, new roof, etc. Taking care of your Recreational Vehicle is the same.
We all know if you neglect your house, it will either cost a fortune when you upgrade it or it will lose it's market appeal and value when you try to sell it.
Maintenance is something we hope will prevent breakdowns. It can be as simple as changing a light bulb to a Transmission Filter/Fluid Service.
Many minor chores can be performed by the RV Owner. However, the prudent owner also knows when to surrender and let the "professionals" perform a needed function.
Repair is that dreaded word you hear when something breaks. It will happen to the best of us, always at a very inopportune time! We all know Murphy doesn't sleep. The point of the repair is to keep them to a minimum if you are doing a timely RV Maintenance schedule.
Having a Warranty insurance policy for repairs is pretty essential with the cost of all the different items that will make up your RV. Several different companies offer these. There are too many variables to actually recommend a particular company though.
As in anything, just be sure to do your homework and research as much as possible.
At a Rally or Trade show is the best - you can gather lots of info easily and quiz current RV'ers about their own personal experiences with whatever company they are using.
Tires are and will be debated wherever you have 2 or more people gathered around an RV! We get into some serious "items" regards tires on that page as well!
Winterizing is something that needs to be done whenever your RV is parked for a long period of time - even in warm weather. It isn't smart to leave standing water or "stuff" in your tanks too long.
We have a great video on this page with a great description of how to winterize your RV.
How To's is just a little discussion about various things that always come up when RVing. We even have an area to submit your favorite tip or trick to help out the rest of us!
Comment section may not display, depending on the Browser you use. Chrome will display for sure! Mozzilla Firefox will not. Please don't using Internet Explorer (not secure!!)

Come Together and Comment Forever in Your Indefinitely Infinite Open Thread
Every comment is a brick in the bridge to whatever comes next for us.

Did you hear reports that I was coercing my staffers into tattoo shops to get xo tattoos? Yeah, right. If I had that kind of power, I wouldn't have to write this darn post every week. Moving right along, here are the things no one wrote about:

Ultrasonic Sensor Project #1
In this lesson you will learn to set up an ultra sonic sensor and program it to sense the distance of objects. Follow the instructions in the slide tutorial below. You will need to add two 10k resistors between each ground and LED bulb. Don Not forget this or you probably will burn a bulb out!
Extension- What is the measurement in centimeters to the safe zone? Next, change the code until the safe zone activates at 1 meter. Use a meter tape to measure. Let teacher know when you get it to measure 1 meter. Go back to the code and see what the speed of sound is. Realize that that the sensor is converting the speed of sound into cm. Look up the speed of sound on Google.
Ultrasonic Sensor #1.2 Measure Distance
Ultrasonic Sensor Project #2
Ultrasonic Sensor Project #3 Combining two different project codes to make the Ultrasonic Sensor do a different thing when triggered by an object.
In this project you will make the Ultrasonic Sensor play a song when a distance of 40 cm is reached. You will see how 2 different project codes can be combined to do a different function.
The video below give some instruction on how you might combine two different Arduino Codes into one to do a new project.
Ultra Sonic Sensor Project # 4 - Proximity Sensor with Piezo Alarm and LED
In this version, the sensor will activate the Piezo buzzer to play a sound, but also indicate with a green LED when all is clear and trigger a red LED at the same time the sound alarm plays. Follow the instructions below
Engineering Design Process - What machines, situations, devices or places in the real world have similar functions as the proximity sensor you have been working on? Design a unique device that uses the concepts used in the proximity alarm you built in project #4. What kind of unique alarm could you make?

Hudson Pride Connections Center Presents the Vogue Ball
By ChicPea JC
Tuesday, May 24th, 2016
Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who's the fiercest queen of the Ball? That was the question asked on the night of Saturday, May 21st. Presented by the Hudson Pride Connections Center (HPCC), the first ever Vogue Ball debuted at Art House Productions. The Theater of Art House was transformed into a runway fit for Fashion Week, but there was no fashion shows this eventing. No, this runway was strictly for contestants to strut, sashay, slay, and vogue their way up and down the aisle for the panel of judges to win one of the coveted trophies. And let me tell you, the competition was fierce enough to make even RuPaul proud.

Rhythms of Life founder, Andrew Faris, speaking to Reel2Real Talk about our services.
Hello and welcome to Rhythms of Life. We are a secular charity which operates in Central London.
Our main aim is to provide healthy and nutritious meals, as well as toiletries, clothing and sleeping bags to London's homeless. We also offer to our beneficiaries literacy as well as I.T. and life skills classes because we firmly believe that everyone deserves a second chance to rebuild their lives.
Every night, 365 days of the year, our amazing volunteers hit London's streets to do their best to reach those in need. In addition to (the above listed) services, we also strive to provide a friendly ear whenever needed. This attitude allows us to keep adjusting our services to the real needs of the homeless.
Rhythms of Life was founded in 2008 by Andrew Faris. A former rough-sleeper himself, he strongly felt not only that his fellow friends needed some help, but also, and most importantly, that this help could have been much more effective if provided by someone who deeply understood their daily struggles and needs.
As a result of Andrew's perseverance and commitment, and with the invaluable help of our partners and volunteers, Rhythms of Life has been able to nourish London's rough-sleepers every day of the year over the last nine years.
To make a donation or volunteer please contact us at email@example.com or on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
The food that we provide is donated to us by our charity partners, which include: Whole Foods, Eat, Coffee Island, Sainsbury's, Abokado. As firm believers in the motto 'lead by example', we strive to promote sustainability not only by collecting surplus food but also by cooking from scratch whenever possible in order to avoid food waste.
To donate or volunteer please contact us at email@example.com or on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
We are currently based at Suite 309, Ilford House, 133-135, Oxford Street
