Local search is powerful. We talked about the statistics recently that show that 25% of people who search for a product or service near them purchase something. That's a super high conversion rate compared to the percent of people who click through an ad. But let's carve that local search demographic out and focus specifically on non-locals who travel to your town. It came to my attention when I read this case study from the Local Search Association regarding how non-locals find businesses near them when they are traveling. The article highlights a few interesting statistics:
- Visitors (on average) spend 2x as much as locals for products and services
- Visitors overwhelmingly (as much as 94%) find places to go via mobile search
If you are a local business, think about your current marketing strategy as it relates to this demographic. Especially if you are a restaurant or bar, where as much as 33% of your daily traffic is likely visitors and not locals.
- Are you advertising in local news sites? It's likely that these visitors will never see your ad, since they don't know who the local news sites are.
- Do you advertise on table mats in diners? These visitors will see your ad, but since they are already eating, they certainly aren't looking for a place to eat. And given the short amount of time they are staying in town, what's the likelihood they will need your product or service?
Do you advertise on Yelp or TripAdvisor? Unless the visitor is a power user of those sites, they'd have to do a search, click on a Yelp or TripAdvisor page, and then see your ad.
None of these are bad per se, but the likelihood of engaging a visitor is very low. However, given that a large majority of these visitors do their discovery via mobile search, have you thought about how to show up in the organic search results? That is where their eyeballs are going.
One of the suggestions in the article is to make sure your citations are up to date. We'll go a step further – make sure you are listed on your local digital publisher's site, and that you are keeping that content current and fresh. Your local publisher has all the information that these visitors could need – information about events, products, services and businesses. And the likelihood that your business will show up for a "near me" search on that local publisher's site is higher if you have an active presence.
The best part is that this strategy works for the locals too – because they do "near me" searches as well. It's a highly complementary strategy to your current advertising and the "hit rate" is much higher. This isn't even a matter of suggesting you cover all the bases to bring new customers into your business; it's a matter of covering the highest percentage opportunity to attract visitors. What are you waiting for?

Electric car company to create 250 jobs
About 250 jobs are to be created by a UK firm planning to build the world's first zero emission, electric 4x4 vehicle.
Liberty Electric Cars said it would begin manufacturing the vehicles at Cramlington, Northumberland later this year.
The Oxford-based company said it would invest £30m into the venture and was now in discussions with major suppliers in the region.
Production volume for the first vehicle, a plug-in electric Range Rover, is likely to top 1,000 annually, creating 250 new jobs and contributing more than £120m a year into the local economy, said the firm.
Barry Shrier, chief executive of Liberty, said: "The Liberty Electric Range Rover takes electric vehicle technology into a new sector, to large luxury cars that people aspire to drive, particularly in cities and urban environments where environmental controls are becoming increasingly tighter.
"North-east England, through the stewardship of One North East, is fast becoming a world leader in clean energy, infrastructure development and electric vehicle manufacturing, which is why we feel that our business will prosper here. We have also been greatly encouraged by the region's strong academic links."
Alan Clarke, chief executive of One North East, which promotes industry and business, said: "This investment is excellent news for the region and places North-East England at the forefront of electric vehicle manufacture and infrastructure development."
Nick Brown MP, minister for the North East, said: "The North East is home to a number of exciting projects in the renewable energy sector which can make a real impact on the region's employment base.
"The creation of 250 jobs from the Liberty Electric Cars project demonstrates this."

text: ST. CHARLES --A Carpentersville man has been sentenced to 10 years in state prison after his eighth arrest for driving under the influence of alcohol. Elias Sanchez was sentenced on Friday. He pleaded guilty to the latest charge last month. Police say they found Sanchez slumped inside his idling vehicle with a bottle of rum between his knees on December 18th. A breath test later determined the 42-year-old Sanchez's blood-alcohol level was .267, more than three times the legal limit. Sanchez has been held in the Kane County Jail since his arrest. Authorities say he'll get credit for 242 days served. Authorities say Sanchez had seven prior DUI violations, resulting in six convictions and one term of supervision.

It's widely agreed that The Menzingers peaked on their 2012 album On the Impossible Past; We're talking an album with 93 on Metacritic and featuring iconic tracks such as Burn After Writing, Nice Things and Casey. It was an album that became known for exhibiting the potential of loud angry punk bands slowing down just a tad to help them show off more complex songwriting skills, and in The Menzingers case, Greg Barnett and Tom May's vocals.
They may have failed to match up to fan expectations with their 2014 album Rented World, but after taking three years off they now return with something far more refined and much closer to what was expected of a follow up to On the Impossible Past.
This fifth album, titled After the Party, feels larger and grander than its predecessor. Though not quite managing to make the impact of On the Impossible Past, the lyric complexities that made that album have returned in force. Catchy choruses are what The Menzingers have always done best and After the Party makes that known from the start. "Oh yeah everything is terrible/ when buying marijuana makes you feel like a criminal/When your new friends take a joke too literal/ Making you feel like the bad guy" announces the return of lyrics that flow like silk over gritty, fast and oh so catchy riffs. It's a track that wouldn't have felt entirely out of place on their debut A Lesson in the Abuse of Information Technology. If that's not a punk band staying true to their roots then I don't know what is.
As a punk band that formed in 2007 in the height of the credit crunch/ banking collapse, The Menzingers have never really had to grow out of the kind of optimistic skate punk that came before them. There's always been a certain aspect of melancholia to their lyrics and tracks, whether that leant towards a more anarchic tone such as their debut album which struck more of a chord with bands like Against Me!, or their more bleak albums that find themselves among the likes of Joyce Manor. Rented World was criticised for moving too far into bleak territory for a band that had been writing fun upbeat songs for years. Anyone else remember Rodent's lyrics of "I've tried running/ I've tried hiding/ I've tried everything but dying" and "I have only bad news" and that was just on one track. After the Party see's the band taking a more optimistic look at life as they look back at their years as 20-somethings. "Where we gonna go now our 20's are over" is actually a drastically more up beat tone for the band in comparison to some of Rented World's lyrics.
This lets the band return to what they do best, big, loud, shouty choruses over dancey riffs, yet all the while maintaining that notion of anger at the situations both the band, and you the listener find yourself. Life does suck, that doesn't mean you have to lie down and let life kick you while you're there, put on some classic Menzingers like After the Party and sing until everything seems that little bit less shit. If you're really lucky, you'll go buy live tickets and experience some real emotional therapy…

The Groan Zone.pdf
V0.1 of my MA thesis on consent in horizontal collaboration is now online. It explores the feminist critique of a simplistic "yes means yes and no means no" model of consent, asking how we might radically re-frame consent as an ongoing collaboration.
These days artists have to work out a way to be profitable. And what better way to start than on Queens Day, the national Dutch holiday on which the Vrijmarkt ('free market') means anyone can sell their wares on the street without a permit? On 30 April as Rotterdam turned into one big jumble sale and piss-up, fellow artists Inge Hoonte, Dave Young and I took the opportunity to set up our own business for the day.
Kristin Tretheway from Sourceforge introduced Booktype, the collaborative book editing software, and we discussed the limitations and opportunities it presents to designers. Geert Lovink and Florian Cramer introduced their forthcoming project, a collaboration between Hogeschool Rotterdam & Hogeschool Amsterdam, to create a toolkit for e-publishing. Designers need to be involved in shaping these media, they said, not just designing 'skins' for pre-determined layouts. Simon Worthington introduced the work of the Hybrid Publishing Consortium. Brendan Howell gave an insight into the design challenges faced by DIY e-publishers, presenting his booksprint project Exquisite Code.
The series of Post Digital Publishing workshops at Transmediale 2013 kicked off today with three workshops on DIY Publishing, one of which was Consent To Print given by Dave Young and I.
Our workshop was an attempt to cross feminist theory, web-to-print tools and group decision-making to see what came out. It asked, is it possible for print publications to be democratically edited? What happens in a consensus-based system when a wealth of online content must be edited down into the limited form of a paper print-out?
A very simple social experiment. I am embedding this image from the server of the Piet Zwart Institute. I've asked a number of students to help by doing the same thing, so it seems only fair that I should participate too.
Each of us can upload a new version of the image if we want to change it. The newest version will appear on all participating websites through a live src attribute in the image tag.
When an artists' talk ends with someone deleting their Facebook account, you know it's a a sign of the times. And so it was this weekend at Various Fires in Publishing, with a panel on (digital) self-publishing during the Wereld van Witte de With festival.
I gave a workshop on authorship at the LiWoLi festival called 'Open Wide', with support from the Piet Zwart Institute, Rotterdam. We looked at the idea of attribution, and how conventional ideas about autonomous authorship are maintained in open or semi-open licensing schemes such as the Creative Commons.
Another glorious sunny day here in Linz, and today a workshop I'd been looking forward to. The description of Mey Lean Kronemann's Lovepicking workshop says it all really:
Love Locks are a custom by which padlocks are affixed to a bridge or similar public fixture by couples to symbolize their everlasting love. ...By lockpicking the Locks of Love, we question the idea of love or relationships being bolted and barred, closed like a prison or cage, which can only be opened by breaking it. The picked locks will be re-arranged into one long chain.
Now I find this idea really beautiful. It is cheeky and eloquent, and of course the visual symbolism is irresistable. I also like how this project applies the logic of hacking to non-technological forms of social control and ownership, linking 'radical openness' to gender, sexuality and relationships.
Question: if a salad is made in Britain with Chinese ingredients by Polish workers, what is its nationality? Or: do you own your name? These were some of the impossible questions put to us today by Heath Bunting, round a wooden table in the conspiratorially dark room at the top of the Stadtwerkstatt. After a brief introduction to his Status Project - which maps out ways of constructing a new identity from scratch - we dived right into the juicy debates that this project opens up. Adopting an air described by another participant as "halfway between flight attendant and headmaster", Heath guided us through a rigourous analysis of each of the deceptively simple components composing a legal identity.
Open Source, Open Kultuur, Open Images... now I have another trendy sticker to add to my laptop: "Open Design Symposium". Taking place the day before the LiWoLi festival of 'Art Meets Radical Openness', this symposium at Linz' Kunstuniversitat came as a bonus. And, indeed, a contrast. While LiWoLi concerns itself with radical openness, at this symposium *any* kind of openness seemed to be up for discussion. And open was certainly the word here; it was on everyone's lips and had already been prefixed to more nouns by lunchtime than I had previously thought possible.

June 20th-June 24th 2016
This week saw us focussing on Art, Dance, PE and music to find out more about the Olympics.
Monday - we had a dance workshop with Australian dance, designed a kit for the Australian team thinking about the colours of their flag and animals you might see there, and also designed a medal.
Tuesday - started with a mini Olympics for Year 1 in sunny weather. We had hurdles and relay races, discus and javelin throwing - soft versions! Then finished with a marathon of 6 laps before a medal ceremony. Later we used aboriginal art idea and colours for our art competition. Children drew then painted geckos. In the afternoon we had a lovely concert by Ibstock Community College band in the hall, and we sung the Kookaburra song to them and our school.
Wednesday - more aboriginal art ideas before starting the transformation of shoeboxes into various sport stadiums - swimming, rowing lakes, track and field as well as basketball courts. All this took place during open afternoon.
Thursday - we completed our stadium work, learnt sport songs then watched Foundation perform the dances they had learnt in their workshop.
Friday - a collaborative art installation - we made a swimmer from different art media. Each child had a small canvas which when covered was put together to make the complete picture. Then we learnt more about how the Olympics started and how it has changed.

Industrial Radiator Cores
Radiators Plus service and re-core a lot of earthmoving, truck and agricultural radiators. We have manufactured heavy duty jigs to handle the biggest of radiators, easily spinning them around to flush and rod out cores and to remove and replace tanks etc.
Radiators Plus quite often re-manufacture complete large industrial radiators, often making exact copies from aluminium to a more durable brass/copper conversion. Quite often we see aluminium excavator radiators cracking between the tube and header plates through vibration and age. They can only ever be temporarily repaired so the complete brass/copper conversion is better choice. They are more serviceable in the long run and improvements in tube and fin design make for a better alternative. They are also competitively priced compared to a new original alloy unit. Ring Radiators Plus for a quote.
These are some photos from some industrial radiators and oil coolers.
They range from a CAT excavator with a broken tank, a Industrial alloy oil cooler which we made an exact copy for but in alloy tube formation, a CAT foldered core in for new gaskets and core sections. Also a very large steel oil cooler which we had to have replicated.

More than 25,000 people sprain their ankles every day. Ankle sprains are caused by an unnatural twisting or force on the ankle bones of the foot, often resulting in one or more ligaments on the outside of the ankle to be stretched or torn. If not properly treated, ankle sprains could develop into long-term problems..
An ankle sprain is a common injury and usually results when the ankle is twisted, or inverted. The term "sprain" signifies injury (below) to the soft tissues, usually the ligaments, of the ankle.
How Do You Know It's and Ankle Sprain and Not Broken?
The diagnosis of an ankle sprain is usually made by examination of the ankle and xrays to make sure that there is no fracture of the ankle. If there is a complete rupture of the ligaments suspected, your doctor may order stress xrays (below) as well. These xrays are taken while someone twists or "stresses" the ligaments.
· Elevation will help control the swelling
· Gentle compression and ice will control swelling
· Mild pain relievers will help with the pain
· Crutches and braces to limit or prevent weight bearing
Should I Wear a Cast?
Casts have fallen out of favor, and as treatment progresses, early weight bearing has been shown to be beneficial. Braces that can be worn to support the ankle - but still allow weight bearing are the most popular treatment method today. Healing of the ligaments usually takes about 6 weeks. The swelling may be present for several months. A physical therapist may be suggested to help you regain full function of your injured ankle.
If conservative treatment does correct the ankle, surgery may be suggested to completely heal the ankle. Your podiatrist will be able to determine the correct treatment for your situation.

ADDRESS: Armadale Tourist Centre, 40 Jull Street, Armadale, WA
PROJECT: The Bert Tyler Vintage Machinery Museum is named after a local Armadale man who enjoyed tinkering and restoring vintage machines and tools. With over 100 objects, the collection was donated to the City of Armadale in 2002 and came under the management of the History House Museum curator.
In 2014 Creative Spaces redesigned the overall layout, furniture, graphics and a new logo for the Museum. We created custom display furniture that incorporated interpretive panels and drawers in which to store objects. An effort was made to keep the shed feel whilst creating a cleaner, more spacious environment. Structural materials utilised included steel, leather, jarrah and ply. This distinctive mix gives the space a rustic feel and retains the machinery aesthetic.
The Museum also received new exterior signs and exhibition labels.
COMPLETED: July 2015

Back in 2014 we got a glimpse of Mexican culture and Dia De Los Muertos in a film, "The Book of Life". With "The Book of Life 2" scheduled to release next year and another seemingly cute look at the ethos of Dia De Los Muertos with the upcoming Fall release of "Coco", I thought this would be a wonderful time to go back and watch "The Book of Life" once again.
The Book of Life is a gorgeous animation that tells the story of the legend of Manolo, a young man who is torn between fulfilling the expectations of his family and following his heart. A conflicted hero and dreamer, Manolo sets off on an epic quest through magical, mythical and wondrous worlds where he must face his greatest fears in order to rescue his one true love and defend his village.
As Halloween is quickly approaching this month, "The Book of Life" is a vibrant fantasy-adventure that is a holiday delight and exuberantly bursts at the seams with irresistible cultural pride. A lovely treat to enjoy with this movie is Churros with Chocolate Sauce. A Churro is a fried-dough pastry that is usually eaten for breakfast dipped in champurrado, hot chocolate, dulce de leche or café con leche. The Churro batter is piped into hot oil and fried until they become crunchy, and may be sprinkled with sugar. Each part of the Latin world serves these differently and in Mexico Churros are usually filled with dulce de leche or cajeta but also with chocolate and vanilla. So, I'm serving Churros with Chocolate Sauce.
Normally you would put 6 to 8 inch pieces of batter into oil to make long strips of Churro, however I made mini Churros because I find it easier to pour into the oil and it is helpful so that you don't have to use a very large pot to fit the long pieces of Churros. My chocolate sauce is a bit thick, you can add more cream to lighten it.
¼ cup caster sugar (superfine sugar)
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
oil for frying
Chocolate sauce:
1/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup chocolate morsels
- Combine sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl, set aside.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the water, salt, sugar, and olive oil. Bring the mixture to a boil then remove it from the heat. Stir in the flour and baking powder, mixing with a wooden spoon until it forms a ball.
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 375ºF.
- Transfer the dough to a cloth pastry bag or heavy-duty plastic bag fitted with a large star tip.
- Squeeze a 3-4 inch strip of dough into the hot oil. Fry the churros, turning them once, until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes per side.
- Transfer the cooked churros to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Repeat, frying 4 or 6 strips at a time.
- Roll churros in the sugar and cinnamon mixture. It's ready to serve.
- To make the chocolate for dunking: Heat heavy cream, add chocolate, and let it sit for 1 minute then stir to combine.
- Serve churros and sauce while still warm.

I haven't always been known for my healthy eating, and I by no means consider myself an expert in nutrition, but recently I've been really making an effort to clean up my act when it comes to eating. I am trying to go by the 80/20 rule, eating healthily 80% of the time and having treats for the other 20%. I will be posting a little more about looking after yourself on the inside as it's something I've become really interested in, and I'm currently on a wheat-free and low-dairy diet in an attempt to curb my acne without the help of medication. This green smoothie recipe is a favourite of mine for mornings when I can't be bothered to eat anything or for lunch times when I'm in a rush, it tastes really fresh and sweet - don't be put off by its green appearance!
I'm never one for measuring exact ingredients for anything, but I will list below the rough ingredients which I tend to use. I always experiment by adding new things and switching the ingredients up, so let me know what you usually add to your green smoothie.
1 handful of spinach
1 banana
1/3 of an avocado (which are really expensive and rubbish in Australia at the minute)
a bit of ginger
a few almonds
a cup of almond milk (I always use Inside Out almond milk as it's the most natural, unsweetened version)
1 cup of gluten-free vanilla protein powder (I use Clean Lean Protein as it's completely natural and vegetable based and dairy-free too)
Then it's just a case of throwing it all into the blender with some ice, it's really so easy and a great way to get all those great nutrients and vitamins into your diet. The banana and almonds will give you a great burst of energy and spinach and ginger have awesome immune boosting qualities. It's completely gluten and dairy free and it's super easy to drink.

What NOT to make for your kids
As my son's first birthday is approaching (too fast!) I started looking around for patterns for a cute toy to make for him. Since I'm a vintage lover I was curious too see what I could find on etsy but I quickly decided to go for a more contemporary toy pattern when I saw these images:

I have a pretty diverse group of acquaintances and friends… both in real life and online. Given the diversity, you can bet there are extreme differences when it comes to the topic of faith.
There are friends of mine who are Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist… even atheist and agnostic.
I never try and impart my Christian beliefs on anyone else that doesn't actively ask for it. I don't have the confidence or, in my mind, the knowledge to be effective in that area. What I will do is try and live my faith so that others can see it.
Living my faith, for starters, means following the Ten Commandments as laid out in the Bible.
I've been thinking about the Ten Commandments this week. Mainly, how they're good, basic rules to follow for anyone… even if you are atheist, agnostic, or a believer in almost any other religion.
Sure, a non-Christian will have no use for Commandments 1-3:
- You shall have no other gods before Me.
- You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything.
- You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God.
But… I would argue Commandments 4-10 would help lead to a good life no matter who you are or what you believe:
4. Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. (Even if you don't call it the Sabbath, one day of rest per week isn't a bad idea, right?)
5. Honor your father and your mother.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
10. You shall not covet your neighbor's house, wife, or property.
I'm not schooled enough in other religions but I bet many have similar principles or guidelines that are good to follow even if you don't believe in everything that religion has to offer.
It's these similarities that I believe we should focus on… and not our differences.
What about you? What do you think?
Exodus 20: 1-17 NIV
And God spoke all these words:
2 "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
3 "You shall have no other gods before me.
4 "You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
7 "You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
8 "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in six days, the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
12 "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
13 "You shall not murder.
14 "You shall not commit adultery.
15 "You shall not steal.
16 "You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
17 "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."

They serve dinosaur chicken nuggets in the kid section of the Aloha cafe on the boat.
We aren't supposed to eat food from the kids buffet, but I can't help myself with these little nuggets.
They are delicious!
I am a big fan of shaped food all together.
Whenever I go home I always try and remember to buy a box of SpongeBob shaped Mac and Cheese.
I just love the texture of the shapes.
I'm not much of a daredevil but I am going to continue to steal those dino nuggets from the kids buffet!

Houston History Magazine
Houston History, a magazine published by the Center for Public History at the University of Houston, is the voice of history and culture throughout the Houston area. It aims to provide Houstonians with the opportunity to learn about all aspects of Houston's history. The articles published will seek to educate and entertain while exploring important aspects of Houston's history and culture.
Houston History Magazine Updates
We had a successful turnout for the Fall 2017 issue launch event at Becker's Books!
The cover story of the fall issue of Houston History revisits the history of flooding in Houston in order to grapple with the disastrous effects of Hurricane Harvey, and reflect upon future planning and policy in Houston.
When we conceived the idea for this issue almost a year ago, we planned to focus on examples of industrial accidents and environmental improvement. That was before Harvey hit. Those of us who are Houston natives, or almost natives, are no strangers to flooding but not of this magnitude. The Washington Post reported that Houston and Southeast Texas received 19 trillion gallons of rain, or a trillion more gallons of water than fills Chesapeake Bay, the largest U.S. estuary.
Harvey was our third 500-year rain event in less than three years and, in the end, was deemed a 1,000-year storm. These are misleading terms that actually indicate the chance, 1 in 500 or 1 in 1,000 respectively, of such an event occurring in any given year rather than how often. Flood plains based on 100-year events are similarly confusing and, perhaps, cause us to be somewhat complacent about our risk. No wonder we frequently hear, "I don't need flood insurance. I'm not in the 100-year floodplain"; or, "I didn't flood in Allison, so I don't need to worry."
In 1929 Houston experienced major flooding that was seemingly forgotten until another catastrophic flood followed in 1935, prompting Houston to establish the Harris County Flood Control District. The U.S. Congress passed the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1938 that included funds for Addicks and Barker Reservoirs, opening in 1945 and 1948 respectively. The Weather Research Center reports Houston has had about 175 significant floods since 1837 (120 of them since the reservoirs opened). Experts have warned Houston another catastrophic flood was coming, just as they had warned the levees would break in New Orleans prior to Hurricane Katrina, but government entities did not adequately address how to prevent future flood damages.
Other articles in this magazine also reflect the importance of remembering our history so we can develop sound policy that enables the people in our region to live healthy, happy, productive lives. The Frost Town archeological dig illustrates the changes that occurred as Houston's first suburb transitioned from a predominantly German neighborhood to an African American and then Mexican American community, followed by a railroad yard and a section of road right of way. Over the years, decisions on whether or not to provide infrastructure to the area dictated the (mis)fortunes of those residing there, whether citizens or businesses.
The articles on the Texas City Disaster and a deadly 2008 crane collapse demonstrate the importance of protecting safety in the workplace, both for those who labor there and those nearby. The Air Alliance Houston piece reminds us of instances of our most reckless pollution, like burning car batteries at an incinerator near the Astrodome in the 1970s and industrial emissions today, to our efforts at redemption by the nonprofit sector to insure we monitor and protect air quality going forward. Likewise, the article on Habitat for Humanity illustrates how everyone benefits when more people get a chance to share in the American dream of homeownership.

Lowat Review
Lowat is a new, patent pending ingredient that combines 2 different ingredients to burn fat, target fat tissue, and deliver the ultimate benefits of a healthy Ayurvedic plant. it can help you to "change fat into fit" according to ads, and it will help you to get results that are 2.4 times better than the placebo.
What's So Special About Patents?
Patents are considered to make ingredients more powerful and effective. Scientists study the ingredients finding and isolating the active components. Once this is done, patented ingredients help you to avoid side effects, improve the power, and some patents have turned ineffective ingredients into amazing fat burning blends.
The Unusual Nature of Lowat
Lowat is made up of two extracts called Piper betle and Dolichos biflorus. These two extracts are not typically known for incredible or amazing fat burning results. But when combined into this particular blend, it produces a strong fat burning effect, helping you to specifically lower BMI for better health.
How Much Lowat Do You Need?
If you want to see the best results with Lowat, there is only one clinical study. So yes, it's questionable and scientists should back this with another potentially positive clinical study. But for now, it seems that 300mg of Lowat three times daily seems to be the most effective choice.
Possible Side Effects
So far, it seems that Lowat doesn't have any common side effects. It is stimulant free, and outside of allergies, side effects are unlikely.
Lowat has a blend of ingredients that can help you to achieve some seriously effective weight loss results in as little as 2 weeks, doubling your fat burning potential. It still needs to be studied both for safety and effectiveness. But once this is done, products should be released using Lowat, and I look forward to it.

The 29th of March 2017! A tremendous day in world history: The day a country decided that it had a future bigger and better than the crippling bureaucracy, encroaching authoritarianism, and punitive tariff walls that punish the world's poor. Britain is leading the way in forging a new world!
Yet listen to the BBC, and one could easily come away with the idea that the EU vote has divided the nation. Maybe in champagne-socialist London this is true, and it's certainly given the SNP the excuse they wanted to try and destroy Scotland, but in the rest of the country, those who voted to Remain most certainly did not vote that way because they cared about the EU.
Remember the Remain campaign: You will lose your job. Taxes will go up. Trade will collapse. There will be a national state of emergency. Even hardened Eurosceptics wondered if there might be an inkling of truth, as stern-faced politicians warned us of impending doom. A majority of Remain voters reluctantly ticked that box because they feared – as the Cameron government wanted them to – the consequences of 'going it alone' (meaning joining the rest of the world).
It's time the Remoaners woke up. Yes, a minority of Remain voters were passionate about the EU. But many of them were passionate about their idea of the EU, not the EU itself. Many, like Marxist professors who were still praising the USSR as refugees flowed out, see an idea of love, unity and peace, lacking the knowledge of what the EU actually is: a system that centralises power away from accountable parliaments; a system that creates classes – the Euro-elite, the national citizen, and then those at the bottom, unlucky enough to be born outside the EU; a system that has stolen the future of millions of young people in Greece, Spain and Italy by inflicting unemployment on them.
Claiming the country is massively divided is the kind of poor journalism that voters are reacting to across the world. As the media has lowered standards and destroyed respect, they in turn have become victims as trust has failed and the increasing desperation to sell papers and programmes becomes apparent in broadcasting standards.
Yet not all Remoaner complaints are vacuous: Michael Heseltine's bizarre anti-German rant did point out that the EU really is now in German hands. Sir Bill Cash has been pointing this fact out for decades: the EU has ever more been modelled and structured on a German vision, and been driven by German aims.
Brexit is happening precisely because Britain could not prevent this in the structures given: Maastricht gave Germany the reigns of Europe; German voting power in the Council of Ministers has nearly doubled; and German thinking views Europe as an extension of greater Germany.
Thus, Europe post-Brexit – or at least the rump EU that integrates further – is likely to take on a federal shape that emulates the German basis. It is for other states to work out, in the face of Britain's prosperity, whether Germanification is for them.

Tell SID about Speeding in Cocking!
It has taken over two years and a lot of determination to overcome many obstacles, but a SID (Speed Indicating Device) has at last made its first appearance in Cocking.
Here we see Councillor David Imlach and fellow villager Angus Manson, members of a team of volunteers, manning the device which they have set up by the Children's Playground on the southbound lane of the A286 in Cocking. The device will remain in Cocking for the rest of the month and return thereafter, every two to three months. The team hope that it wll make a significant contribution towards eliminating the chronic problem of speeding through the village.
Our first image shows that a minority of drivers will ignore the speed limit even when re-inforced with SID. The second shows quite a different aspect of traffic speed. Unlike motorists, it was noticed that passing cyclists generally accelerated as they approached SID. A matter of pride perhaps.

A total of 52 people have now been identified as being infected with fungal meningitis after receiving injectable steroids (methylprednisolone acetate) prepared by New England Compounding Center Inc. in Framingham, Massachusetts. The newest count brings to eight, the number of states reporting infections tied to the tainted medications, which has already claimed five lives.
To date, more than 950 people have been identified as receiving the tainted medication from the Framingham pharmacy. Those infected reported symptoms including headache and fever, and traces of meningitis were found in the patient's spinal fluid. Meningitis, which can be either viral or bacterial in nature, is an inflammation of the membranes covering the brain ("meninges") and can be fatal. A list of health care facilities and dispensaries believed to have received tainted lots can be found at http://www.cdc.gov/HAI/outbreaks/meningitis.html
Parker Scheer LLP is closely following the ongoing investigation of the Framingham, Massachusetts pharmacy. If you or someone you know has suffered an infection thought to be caused by tainted medication, call us. There is never a charge to discuss your potential case and all information shared will be maintained in strict confidence.

Professor of Early Modern History
Contact details

- Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
- Office: Attenborough 510
- Office Hour: I am on study leave for the academic year 2017/18: EURIAS fellow, Institut d'études avancées (IMéRA), Aix-Marseille Université, France.
Personal details
I joined the Department of History at the Leicester in 1994 as Wellcome Trust Lecturer in the History of Medicine, following a research fellowship at the Cambridge Wellcome Unit for the History of Medicine, and a stint as director of the Canadian Academic Centre in Italy (Rome).
I am the author of seven books and was awarded the Royal Society of Canada's 'Jason A. Hannah' medal for Medical charlatanism in early modern Italy (Oxford 2006) and, in 2012, the 'Salvatore De Renzi International Prize' by the Università degli Studi di Salerno for my work in the history of medicine. I am book reviews editor for the peer-reviewed journal Food & History (published by the European Institute for the History and Cultures of Food & Brepols).
My interests lie in the medical, dietary, social and cultural history of early- and late-modern Italy, and have ranged from studies on popular religion during the Counter-Reformation, healers and healing in the Kingdom of Naples, the licensing and operations of medical charlatans in early modern Italy, through to food and health in early- and late-modern Europe as a whole. My current project builds on a study of the reception and assimilation of New World plants, like the tomato and the potato, to look at the impact of maize on Italian society, in particular the pellagra epidemic that ravaged north-eastern Italy from 1750 to 1930.
During 2003-8, I was a core member of the Wellcome Trust Strategic Award in 'Cultures and Practices of health', held jointly at the Universities of Warwick and Leicester. I have been visiting fellow at the School of Advanced Study, University of London; Hannah Visiting Professor at McMaster University, Canada (2001-2); visiting professor at Villa I Tatti, The Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies (Florence, 2006). I held a Leverhulme Trust Major Research Fellowship (2007-10) to pursue my project on the reception and assimilation of New World plants in Italy. I was Principal Investigator on the 'Rough Skin' project funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (2013-16), which investigates the effects of the pellagra epidemic in northern Italy, and am currently beginning a new project on the culture of water in early modern Europe.

I teach a range of undergraduate modules on the history of early modern Europe, including, 'Food, diet and health in early modern Europe' (third year option), and contribute to 'Varieties of Cultural History'. At the MA level, I teach a module entitled 'Patients and Practitioners: The Patient-Practitioner Relationship in Early Modern Europe'.
I am interested in the social and cultural history of Italy, particularly in the period from 1500 to 1800, although with an increasing tendency to stray into the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. I have concentrated on the relationships between different levels of society with regard to beliefs and practices, especially in the areas of religion, medicine and healing, and, more recently, dietary habits.
In geographical terms, my core research has broadened out from an initial focus on a single region (southern Apulia), then a state (the Kingdom of Naples), and now include the entire Italian peninsula and islands. I am working on what I like to think of as my 'New World trilogy'. The first volume is a social and cultural study of the tomato's Italian history, Pomodoro!, the second an agrarian and dietary history of the potato, The potato in Italy, and the third a history of maize and the terrible disease pellagra, from 1750-1930, as part of my ESRC project (see below). I am also writing a book called Food and health in early modern Europe, for Bloomsbury.
Current research projects
Rough Skin: Maize, Pellagra and Society in Italy, 1750-1930.
ESRC Research Grant (£537,792). September 2013 – August 2016.
Professor David Gentilcore (Principal Investigator); Mr Egidio Priani (Research Assistant)
Aims and objectives
1. To bring together the different methods and approaches of a range of disciplines in order to reconstruct the history and impact of a single food plant (maize) and a single disease (pellagra) over the longue durée.
2. To explore relevance of the historical maize-pellagra link to the present-day, when human diet that is energy dense and nutrient poor has led to a (man-made) pandemic of obesity, diabetes and associated chronic diseases.
3. To trace the impact of maize cultivation and consumption on society and responses to it, from the point of view of those who bore the brunt of the changes brought about, as well as from the point of view social elites, political and medical in particular.
4. To explore the experience of pellagra from the sufferer's point of view and its social and economic ramifications for peasant families; and to identify and account for shifting responses and ideologies relative to the disease.
5. To compare and contrast the experience of maize and pellagra in other regions over the period with that of Italy; and to compare this with the reaction to other deficiency diseases of the time, such as beriberi and goitre.
6. To prepare a data set based on the clinical files of pellagra-sufferers hospitalised at the San Servolo Psychiatric Hospital, Venice, one of Italy's main asylums for the treatment of mental illness.

25882 26036 26185 26334 26480 26749
Research demonstrated that the Tories trailed Labor by five focuses with open part specialists, who were altogether more inclined to vote than their private division partners – with turnout at 76% contrasted and 66%. 25883 26037 26186 26335 26481 26750

Dr Sarah Wollaston, the Tory MP who led parliament's wellbeing select board of trustees up to the decision, said there was impressive quality of feeling among her associates on the backbenches and in bureau that activity was expected to facilitate the agony. 25887 26041 26190 26339 26485 26754

"It is not a matter of if, but rather when," she stated, contending that the issue was not just about open area pay but rather appropriately subsidizing open administrations. "Also, the talk should move onto how we pay for it."

She said that everybody should contribute however with the weight falling more on the happier and with "intergenerational reasonableness" likewise considered.
Bringing up how questionable it had been the point at which the Tories had recommended another strategy for social care in its declaration, Wollaston approached the head administrator to ask all political gatherings – including Labor – to take a seat and examine how to support this. 25895 26049 26198 26347 26493 26762

"That may mean taking thoughts from everybody's pronouncements – including Labour's," she said.
In spite of the fact that Hammond is disapproved to take a gander at how to facilitate the weight on laborers, he is probably going to challenge bureau associates – who he considers to be campaigning in front of the financial plan – to explain what troublesome duty choices they would consider to pay for any progressions. Another choice is to discover more departmental cuts. vaginal tightening cream
And also the mediations for wellbeing and instruction laborers, Sir Michael Fallon – the guard secretary – will likewise present the defense for military work force. 25898 26052 26201 26350 26496 26765

The most recent research will include to the weight the chancellor over open division pay. Be that as it may, a few Conservatives may point to the finding that private segment laborers have had a far more detestable time amid the subsidence, and put forth the defense that the top ought to along these lines proceed. 25901 26055 26204 26353 26499 26768

25904 26058 26207 26356 26502 26771
Prof Bryson, co-creator of the report, said the huge distinction amongst private and open segment representatives was that the last are "open workers [and] thusly, the administration can decide their yearly pay settlement".
He stated: "When choosing what to do, government will measure open worry over pay value for bunches like medical caretakers, and specialists' worries in regards to open businesses' capacity to select, hold and inspire staff, against the potential expenses of lifting the 1% top for people in general handbag." 25905 26059 26208 26357 26503 26772
25906 26060 26209 26358 26504 26773

25908 26062 26211 26360 26506 26775
Bryson said the private segment had seen extraordinary falls in genuine wages after the money related emergency and afterward people in general segment took after that descending direction after 2010.
"It's not a decent picture for essentially anyone," he said. "The work advertise in Britain has been enduring severely whether you are in the private or open part. I believe it will be an inquiry for the legislature not if but rather when and how they will address the development of pay weights in the general population area." 25909 26063 26212 26361 26507 26776
25910 26064 26213 26362 26508 26777

25912 26066 26215 26364 26779
He said the falls in broad daylight part middle time-based compensations looked to some degree less awful when the figures are balanced for changes in the workforce, such a move to more youthful or less experienced specialists.
He included: "Yet ostensibly one reason why you have more youthful or specialists of less residency may be that they are reacting to the relative income that they can get in general society division." 25913 26067 26216 26365 26511 26780

25916 26070 26219 26368 26514 26783
Pay is by all account not the only issue of gravity that is causing strain for the legislature. Gary Porter, the Conservative seat of the Local Government Association, will utilize a keynote discourse to caution that gatherings will have lost 75p in each £1 of focal government financing by 2020. He will state that nearby experts ought to be at the front of the line in any facilitating on severity. 25917 26071 26220 26369 26515 26784
25918 26072 26221 26370 26516 26785

25920 26074 26223 26372 26518 26787
Calling for neighborhood government to keep business rates that are gathered locally, Lord Porter advised the Guardian that inability to act would leave gatherings "skint".
"[Ministers] know about the issue – they realize that chambers will fall over on the off chance that they don't think of something," he said. "They have a year to get it arranged or those chambers lose everything." 25921 26075 26224 26373 26519 26788
25922 26076 26225 26374 26520 26789
25923 26077 26226 26375 26521 26790
Weight is likewise mounting from unions speaking to laborers. In an article for the Guardian – Janet Davies, who drives the Royal College of Nursing, said she was empowered from a move in state of mind in government.
"For consistently that the top stays set up, the official enroll of who can hone as a medical caretaker is discharging a greater number of names than are included," she said. "The administration must lift this top and close the hole on lost income. 25924 26078 26227 26376 26522 26791
25925 26079 26228 26377 26523 26792
25926 26080 26229 26378 26524 26793
"It has been a political choice not to give the NHS the cash it needs and the subsequent cuts and weights put quiet care at hazard."
There is a cure for the NHS: give nurture a compensation rise
At the point when cash gets tight in the NHS, they go straight for the supposed low-hanging natural product. Lawmakers and financial specialists who don't comprehend tolerant care slice the staffing bill to adjust the books. Medical attendants, as individuals from one of the biggest callings in the NHS, get themselves first in line. Failings at Stafford healing facility and other late embarrassments have not gone about as a sufficient impediment. 25927 26081 26230 26379 26525 26794
25928 26082 26231 26380 26526 26795
25929 26083 26232 26381 26527 26796
Patients on wards feel the distinction, however so does the more established individual sitting tight for the area nurture at home and the individuals who visit nearby centers. The quantity of prepared medical attendants accessible to work for the NHS is getting littler and healing facilities have 40,000 less medical caretakers than they say they require. 25930 26084 26233 26382 26528 26797
25931 26085 26234 26383 26529 26798
25932 26086 26235 26384 26530 26799
The NHS turns 69 on Wednesday and has depended on the best medical attendants from around the globe since it started. A few years back it turned into a simple yet foolish choice to select instant medical caretakers from abroad instead of prepare our own, with UK preparing in light of what could evidently be managed – not what was required. Thusly, insufficient medical attendants have been prepared.
A greater number of medical attendants and birthing specialists leaving UK calling than joining, figures uncover

The administration expelled understudy subsidizing from learner medical caretakers and degree applications for this September have fallen by a quarter, with would-be develop understudies specifically put off by the possibility of huge obligations. These understudies, who convey an abundance of life experience to the occupation, frequently make the best medical caretakers and their misfortune will be felt intensely in the psychological wellness and learning incapacity parts.
Different courses into nursing have been opened yet apprenticeships push duty on to businesses who are as of now broke. Nursing partners, welcome as excellent help laborers, are unreasonably being made a request to go up against assignments that ought to remain the safeguard of prepared medical attendants. At the point when the level of expertise and experience on a ward is decreased excessively, the result for patients, including mortality, is influenced.
In the year since the Brexit vote, the legislature has neglected to make it clear that European medical attendants are welcome and required in the NHS, and the quantity of fresh introductions is grieving at a small amount of a year ago's level. Not just have new European medical attendants quit joining the official enroll, others have begun backpedaling home after years in the NHS.
English medical caretakers, as well, are preparing to move to another country. Numerous more are leaving nursing all together – constrained out by the poor pay, the unbelievable weight and an inclination that they are not ready to give the protected care to patients that they need to give. When it pays more to stack store racks than walk the wards, it is little ponder individuals are reconsidering their vocation decisions. The Department of Health says holding compensation down means clinics can bear the cost of more medical caretakers however the 40,000 opening uncover the genuine effect.
It can't be rehashed enough: a compensation "rise" that is purposely held beneath swelling is in certainty a compensation cut
A week ago one medical attendant demonstrated to me a payslip from seven years prior and another from a month ago. Her compensation had stayed static while lease, sustenance and childcare costs had soared. The 1% top on pay "rises", and pay solidifies for a considerable length of time before that, have left medical caretakers in any event £3,000 a year more terrible off than in 2010. It can't be rehashed enough: a compensation "rise" that is intentionally held underneath swelling is in truth a compensation cut.
Presently, in the principal week since the Royal College of Nursing propelled its "mid year of dissent" over low pay and dangerous staffing, there are empowering signs that the legislature is altering course. There is developing cross-party bolster for lifting the top. Jeremy Hunt has disclosed to NHS pioneers that he is thoughtful.
At the point when a senior MP was as of late approached how a 10% pay ascend for MPs was managed, he said it had been a pay "rectification". Medical caretakers are sitting tight for a similar rectification after a 14% genuine terms pay cut. For consistently that the top stays set up, the official enroll of the individuals who can hone as a medical caretaker is discharging a greater number of names than are included. The legislature must lift this top and close the hole on lost profit.

Manus security firm, G4S, responsible for February violence, says law centre
G4S, the former security contractor at the Manus Island detention centre was directly responsible for violence that broke out in February and in which Iranian asylum seeker Reza Barati was killed, according to a formal complaint lodged with the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD). The complaint, written by the Human Rights Law Centre, claims that G4S failed to maintain basic human rights standards and protect asylum seekers from harm. The complaint goes on to allege, "G4S was directly involved in this violence through its role in arbitrary detention and poor conditions that led to the unrest, and through the direct participation of its employees in the violence."

Trained and Degreed Staff
After an unplanned absence from work last Thursday, I am feeling rather out of the loop. I have spent my morning trying to remember where I left off on Wednesday. Luckily, in my absence everything continued to progress. Changes and updates that I was working on for clients were completed everything seems to be in place. Print proofs for various projects were reviewed and forwarded to clients for their approval.
I have a sense of relief as I sort through emails and tasklists. I know that our trained and degreed staff of copywriters, project coordinators, search engine optimization specialists, designers, programmers, videographers, and photographers were capable of picking up where I left off in order to get project completed.
