Commercial career[edit]
At the time of their construction, the Manhattan and her sister ship, the Washington, also built by New York Shipbuilding Corporation, were the largest liners ever built in the United States, and Manhattan was the first large liner built in the US since 1905. The Manhattan and the Washington were two of the few pure liners built by New York Shipbuilding, which had previously built a large number of cargo liners. She carried over 1,100 passengers in cabin, tourist and third class. United States Lines signed contracts in 1931 for the two ships at a cost of approximately $21 million per ship. This was considered an extreme cost in the Depression, and a gamble by a man in the passenger liner business.[1]
Travel writer Douglas Ward claims in his book "Berlitz Guide to Cruising" that the alcoholic beverage "Manhattan" was named after the ship. However, there is little evidence to confirm this.
Beginning in August 1932, the Manhattan flew the US Lines flag on the New York-Hamburg route, a route she would continue to serve with only one short break until December 1939, when Roosevelt invoked the 1939 Neutrality Act against Germany. In 1936, the ship carried the US Olympic team to the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. The 2016 film Race briefly shows her in this role. She can also be seen in the American Experience documentary The Boys of '36. In 1938, it carried some of the Kennedy family to the United Kingdom when Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. was appointed U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain.
In October 1939 the Manhattan transported passengers, mostly Americans, from England (then at war with Germany) to New York. On February 4, 1940, the ship was seized by British forces in Gibraltar and released after 390 sacks of mail bound for Germany were confiscated. From January 1940 until Italy's entry into World War II in June 1940, the Manhattan sailed between New York and Genoa. On January 12, 1941, while in coastal service on the Atlantic seaboard, the Manhattan went aground just off the Florida beaches nine miles north of Palm Beach, and was refloated 22 days later. On March 6, 1941, the commander of the marine inspection bureau suspended the captain and first officer after finding them guilty of negligence in the grounding. The captain received an eight-month suspension while the first officer was suspended for one month.[2]
As a Troopship[edit]
On 6 June 1941, the Manhattan was requisitioned and leased by the US Navy, and was subsequently commissioned as the troopship USS Wakefield on 15 June 1941. Assigned a Coast Guard crew under Commander Wilfrid N. Derby, she became the largest vessel ever operated by the Coast Guard.
The Manhattan would never reenter commercial service. On 3 September 1942, while en route from Clyde to New York as part of convoy TA-18, fire broke out aboard. Taken in tow by the Canadian Salvage vessel Foundation Franklin, the Wakefield reached Halifax five days later, still burning. By the time the last flames were extinguished, her hull was effectively gutted. Paid off by the US Navy, she was towed to Boston Navy Yard and rebuilt to troopship specifications.

Prof. Dr. Ahmed Akgündüz
What does Age of Fatrah (Interregnum) mean?
It is the fruitless and miserable period for eleven years, which began with the Ottoman State's dismemberment with Ankara defeat in 1402, continued with the Lightning's children's fight for the Sultanate and ended in 1413 with Chelebi Mehmed I's being undisputedly accepted as the sole Sultan.
The Lightning's children who were in life at the time of his death are as follows by order of their ages: Sulaiman Shah (1375-1410), Isa Chelebi (1378-1405), Mustafa Chelebi (known as Duzmajah Mustafa, 1380-1422), Mehmed Chelebi I (1382-1421), Musa Chelebi (1388-1413) and Prince Qassem (1397-1417). How did their struggle for the Sultanate proceed? Did Emir Sulaiman and Musa Chelebi reign? [1]
Who is Sulaiman Chelebi (Emir Sulaiman = Sulaiman I)?
Having escaped and saved his life with Ali Pasha of Chandar after the defeat of 1402, Prince Sulaiman came to Bursa and no sooner had he collected his essential belongings than he fled to Edirne, where he promulgated his sultanate. He even defeated Hungarians who had waged war against Ottomans craving to benefit from the situation. Nevertheless, the largest soils of the Ottomans were in the possession of Mehmed Chelebi who resided in Amasya. On the other hand, Isa Chelebi had once besieged and invaded Bursa, but he was forced back by Mehmed Chelebi. That Sultan Sulaiman proclaimed Edirne as the capital nullified that quality of Bursa and the age of Edirne started, which would last 51 years. Musa Chelebi was hesitating and even recognized his brother's sultanate. Sultan Sulaiman passed to Anatolia and also with the help of friendships he had established with the Byzantine Empire, he took Bursa, Izmir and Ankara. In the meantime, when the Anatolian principalities began to support Mehmed Chelebi against Sulaiman, Musa Chelebi also obeyed him and passed to Rumelia to pursue Sulaiman. Though Musa Chelbi, with the support of some commanders and the Prince of Romania, ready for plots, had passed to Rumelia on behalf of Mehmed Chelebi, he actually had been intending to proclaim his own sultanate and having cornered Sultan Sulaiman in Edirne, he killed him (1410). Thus Sultan Sulaiman's sultanate for 8 years had ended at the age of 35. It is stated in some sources that, unfortunately, also with the influence of the Grand Vizier Ali Pasha who was not so devoted a Muslim, his spiritual side was not so perfect in comparison to most other Ottoman Sultans.
The most notable statesman of the age of Sultan Sulamian is Ali Pasha of Jandar, who is not liked by historians and said to have caused the defeat of the Sultan; among the scholars Izzuddin Abdullatif, famed as Ibn al-Melek, his son Muhammad, Mufti Najmuddin Khanafi; among the spiritual visionaries Yunus Emre; among the poets Ahmedi, author of Iskendername, and Mawlana Hamza, who is not said to be a morally upright poet by historians. It could be understood from the life of Sultan Sulaiman that it is the colleagues of one who makes him either victorious or defeated. [2]
Who was Sultan Musa Chelebi?
Musa Chelebi, who promulgated his Sultanate in 1410 in Edirne, was a martinet soldier but not a good diplomat. Besieging Istanbul for the fifth time, he opposed Byzantium. He defeated Mehmed Chelebi, who attacked him. Thereupon, Mehmed Chelebi, who was a good diplomat, took shelter with the Byzantine Empire. When Musa Chelebi cooled the Rumelian principalities from himself, Mehmed Chelebi took advantage of that and, for the second time, with the support of both the Rumelian begs and the Serbian Prince, confronted his brother Musa at Chamurlu Derbend and thrashed and killed him. Thus the sultanate of Musa which lasted for about three years terminated at his age of 25. And the Ottoman throne was inherited soley by Mehmed Chelebi (1413). So did the Age of Interregnum terminate.
Among those statesmen supporting Sultan Musa during his reign are his Grand Vizier Melikshah the Blind, Muhammad Beg son of Mihal and his brother Bakhshi Beg; among the scholars his Kazasker Shaikh Badruddin of Simav. While Sultan Sulaiman had three children called Prince Orkhan, Prince Mehmed Shah and Pasha Melek Hatun, Sultan Musa had no offspring . [3]

Make no mistake: The "Mallpocalypse," the "Retailpocalypse," whatever you want to call it, is very real, and its shockwaves are being felt in just about every corner of the brick-and-mortar retail world. In fact, there are only a few true havens left – including a few higher yielders in the 5%-6% range. We'll get to those in a minute.
Every other week, it seems like there's another story about a retailer going bankrupt or shuttering locations. Just consider some of the store closings lined up for this year:
- Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) is going to shut down 60 of its 868 locations in 2018.

Strength (Resistance Training)
Put Some Power In Your Gloves- Weight Exercises For Boxing
The generating of maximal power through any punch will certainly tell one's opponent they mean business, and this will have a profound psychological effect.
Indeed, developing power will also help to enhance speed and anaerobic fitness.
Speed will improve as muscles become used to pushing out heavier weights (the cornerstone of any power routine), which translates to a faster punch when the comparatively light, 10-14 ounce gloves are laced on.

If you could sum up My Wild Highlander in three words, what would they be?
Exiting, exasperating, excellent
Which character – as performed by Andrew Bryan – was your favourite?
Lachlan of course, I fell in love with him from the very start, and I mean in My Fierce Highlander
Any additional comments?
I absolutely love the highland accents and thought Andrew did this quite well, of course it helps having a brilliant storyline, which Vonda has done with all her highlander books, I can't wait until more of the series hits audible and by that I mean 4,5 &6 as I have the other three

Voice is annoying and story is weak.
I was terribly disappointed in this purchase. The voices are not great to downright bad. The progress is lame, and repetitive. I love this genre, so it has to be bad to turn me off. Thank goodness I can return it.
I'm hoping it is just this one book combined with the voices used. I checked out the other books narrated by this man, they were fine. This author has other books, and is well liked. Won't stop me from buying other books by either of them. Just not this one. If you're uncertain, the five minutes is exactly what you get, it doesn't get better.

Past Experiences Leave Deep Wounds Healed by Love
What did you like best about this story?
I loved that Angelique struggled so desparately within herself -- her innate passionate nature versus her past experience with uncaring men.
What does Andrew Bryan bring to the story that you wouldn't experience if you just read the book?
He does great work in dialog and accented languages.
Any additional comments?
I absolutely adored Lady Angelique with her reactions about events around her, her fighting spirit to stand up to what she believes, and her absolute belief her husband-to-be was nothing more than a skirt lifter, lecher and debaucher, dallying with women at court. She could not abide sharing a bed with him, a barbaric Scot of the Highlands.Narrator Andrew Bryan's excels in dialog. I love the smooth baritone voice of Lachlan. He did a superb job with Angelique's voice, depicting her very French side. Her English had a strong French accent, in addition to speaking French in dialog.Angelique insulted her husband at every turn, in French, not knowing he spoke French and several other languages. She embarrassed herself many times with her rash and quick temper. (she endears herself) Nevertheless she was a very likeable character. I could understand why she reacted the way she did, however Lachlan didn't know her backstory, which created even more tension between the two.She lived in a world where women were used by men; whether to obtain their property or bodies and ultimately their heirs. Lady Angelique detested Highlanders. All men were faithless pigs.After a very funny scene, where Lady Angelique escapes from a drooling fool (her words), by entering a darkened room only to find she happened upon two people pleasuring themselves, and then being found by the king's guards in the same room as Lachlan and his paramour, however, Lady Eleanor had sneaked away, not being caught. From one shock to another she finds Lachan is to be her husband, take her father's title of Earl of Draughon and claim the chief of clan Drummagan. And with shock she leaves the King's chamber. How can she escape this fate?Highlander Lachlan is no less shocked. Frankly, he likes women and beds many. He never expected to rise to this level. His older brother was an Earl, but never him. Angelique was one prickly lass as far as he was concerned. But he couldn't say nay to the king. He would have to make this work. Could he lead a clan, could he be faithful to his wife? Did he even want to be faithful to that hellion cat?Conflicts abound between these two in this well-written suspenseful story. Lachlan really tries to be her protector, his job as a husband. He felt he failed over and over. Plenty of danger awaits this passionate and volatile couple as they struggle to understand and trust each other. Will they be too late?

Come see Johnny & Scott as they join Jeanette, who was selected this past weekend as the 2012 Traditional Female Vocalist of the Year at the annual convention and awards show for the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America (SPBGMA, pronounced spig-mah).
Jeanette Williams, vocalist, bass player and award-winning songwriter, began her singing career in 1989, with a local country band performing at amateur recreations of the Grand Ole Opry.
Since that time, she has been the recipient of a number of awards including holding the title of current 2012 SPBGMA Female Vocalist of the Year Award in the traditional category, a title she also held in 2009, she was named the Virginia Folk Music Association's State Champion Female Vocalist, PICABO Entertainer of the Year (4 times), and PICABO Female Vocalist (4 times). She has garnered no less than 8 nominations for SPBGMA Female Vocalist of the Year and is a 2005 graduate of IBMA Leadership Bluegrass. Jeanette and Johnny have been fortunate to tour most of the USA, Canada and five foreign countries taking acoustic music around the world.
Jeanette has been featured in both Bluegrass Unlimited, Bluegrass Now magazines to name a few. She has recorded more than 10 projects, including the critically acclaimed 1999 Doobie Shea Records release, "Cherry Blossoms in the Springtime", which spent 9 months on the Bluegrass Unlimited National Survey Album Chart.
Her latest solo project "Thank You For Caring" rated high on the National charts also. She is featured on the Daughters of Bluegrass, "Back To The Well" album that earned group the prestigious IBMA Recorded Event of the Year Award in 2006 and on the group's 2008 album, "Bluegrass Bouquet."

Johnny Williams, a 2006 graduate of IBMA Leadership Bluegrass, plays guitar, shares vocal and emcee duties, and writes most of the band's original material. An award winning singer and songwriter, he has been named Virginia State Champion Male Vocalist, PICABO Male Vocalist (twice), and PICABO Songwriter of the Year.
He was the bluegrass division winner of the prestigious Chris Austin Songwriting Contest at Merlefest in 1998 & 1999.

Rambler's Choice, New Classic Grass, Larry Stephenson, Special Consensus, and Mark Newton have also recorded his songs. He has co-written with notable writers, such as Tom T. Hall and Dixie Hall. His 2009 solo release on Mountain Roads Recordings, Last Day of Galax, includes nine original compositions.
He was featured in Bluegrass Now Magazine in the July 2004 "State of the Union" column. Johnny was President of the Dan River Region Bluegrass Association for 5 years, and produces many local music events. Johnny has been included on vocal workshops with John Hartford, Gillian Welch, Jim Lauderdale, Louisa Branscomb and Guy Clark. He currently produces and records with bands in varied genres of music but primarily bluegrass.
Scott Freeman - Mandolin, Fiddle & Vocals. He plays, arranges and writes songs, which have been recorded by some of the top touring bands in acoustic music. He has recorded three solo projects, "Southern Souvenirs", "Friends For The Journey", and "Carolina Welcomes You", each showcasing his varied musical tastes. Scott spends his time now teaching fiddle and mandolin. He also tours and conducts workshops for the NCTA and folk festivals.

Out of all four E-Lit pieces I had the choice to write about for this week's blog, "Hobo Lobo of Hamelin" sold me based on name and the fact that I didn't have to download anything/take up computer space (I wonder if this prospect deters others from fuller exploration of pieces such as "Dwarf Fortress").
The "Hobo Lobo" site looks old, and besides the gorgeous color choices it's not the most visually appealing (the hand drawn illustrations are awesome, but the juxtaposition with font choice is strange). This ends up not being as much of a problem when you're into the story, but at first it's a little off putting.
Clicking the button marked "psst" at the top of the page (because of course you're going to click it!) leads you right to the author's website. Nice job controlling site traffic, Stevan Zivadinovic.
Because the site is old, it takes a while to load. Illustrations show up layer by layer instead of all at once, offering a neat little peek into Zivadinovic's creative process. Because the illustrations were hand drawn I often forgot about the importance of searching them for easter eggs. When I did look, I found a number of fun sound effects (a croak when you click the frog and so forth).
What really sold me (upon first read(?) through) was the sixth page. A slow procession of hand drawn characters move across a landscape that spans four pages of its own. The colors are cozy and, although you have to wait a while to see the whole shebang and might be tempted to click through, the wait is worth it. And then … you're taken out of the piece's world and into a page of credits and author notes.
To be honest, after my first go through I had no idea what I'd just seen. Where was the story besides a few cute drawings? Deciding to begin again, I realized that you have to SCROLL HORIZONTALLY to see more. There is a story to follow, complete with sounds and images and text content. Should there be an instruction page or should I just look harder?
If there's one thing I've learned about e-lit thus far, one look is never ever enough.
Also, the night/outdoor drawings to red collage panel is GORGEOUS. I've never seen something like that on a computer, just at art fairs with magazine collages.

RNZ's vulnerability arises from the fact that it's a non-commercial broadcaster owned by a government which, insofar as it could be said to be ideologically committed to anything, favours private enterprise.

Karl du Fresne: RNZ must right its lean to the left
RNZ's vulnerability arises from the fact that it's a non-commercial broadcaster owned by a government which, insofar as it could be said to be ideologically committed to anything, favours private enterprise.

There is no place for state funded broadcasters. Let radio stations fund themselves like most other businesses. If there is the demand claimed, then this should pose no problem.

"There is no place for state funded broadcasters." Ummm I would have thought our significant income tax bills would cover a little bit of non commercial radio and television. I don't particularly like waking up to inane DJ's and equally inane and ridiculously loud, Home-furnishings advertising.
- April 10, 2013 at 5:40 PM
I'm with Eltastro. A quality public broadcasting exists in Australia. While on current affairs it tends to suffer the left-ish bias Mr du Fresne identifies it also has some skilled anchors who cover a wide range of reviews and in depth interviews with a wide range of authors, teachers, visitors to Australia etc. If I'm visiting Australia I always try to listen to as many "Conversations" - a 1 hour slot - with Richard Fidler, as I can. The depth of discussion reflects what journalists should aspire to - i.e. well researched and prepared. Try it at www.abc.net.au/conversations/ Only interrupted at the half hour for a news report. No way that would work on a commercial network.

Thoughts from the AIA National Convention Part 1
This year's AIA National Convention in sweltering Miami marks my first attendance at the show. While our focus atHEALTHCARE DESIGN is obviously healthcare, shows like AIA help provide a broad picture of the state of architecture, and healthcare's place in it. This has provided some interesting perspectives for me, and has shown me (as if I ever forgot) yet again what a special and specialized field healthcare architecture indeed is. There were several heatlhcare-specific sessions here at the conference (some of which I'll address specifically later), but I gleaned some intriguing information from a non-healthcare session called
Design Informed: Transforming Evidence Into Practice, wherein Gordon H. Chong, FAIA, FACHA, NCARB; Bob Brandt, AIA, IFMA, LEED AP; and W. Mike Martin, FAIA, examined the concept of evidence-based design. While readers of
HEALTHCARE DESIGN are no doubt well versed in this concept as it relates to healthcare, Chong and Co. were really introducing the concept as a general tool, one that they felt could transform the design process. Most interesting, perhaps, was the idea that this is all a fairly long time away from actually happening. The audience, featuring only a handful of healthcare architects, seemed receptive and interested, but coming from our little corner of the industry, where EBD is not only known but is widely integrated already, was eye-opening to say the least. Contrast this with a session later in the day,
An Understanding of Healthcare Planning Process for the Next Decade: How Demographics Will Shape How We Deliver Healthcare, by Steven I. Steinberg, AIA, and Terrie Kurrasch, Assoc. AIA, of Ratcliff. Lots of information was presented, almost a crash-course in the state of healthcare design, meant to be delivered to the generalist architect. The problem: most of the audience were in fact healthcare architects. Still, there were some very interesting kernels of thought peppered in with the general info, some of which I hope to pursue in print in the coming months.

The March trip was to darkest Hoxton, Haggeston and Shoreditch.We started by making a circuit round Old Street station, a favourite target area for Victorian philanthropy, now up-market and down-at-heel almost street by street. We included Moorfields Eye Hospital's most recent building and the home of Methodism in City Road. We also visited handsome Hoxton Square and the fine new buildings that make up Hackney Community College, before heading for a lunch-break at the excellent Geffrye Museum of domestic house furnishing.
Some of the group then headed off to Brick Lane, ending at Moorgate Station via the former Trumans Brewery and Spitalfields.

There has been a lot that we've learned on this journey, that I wish we would have known sooner. Because of that, I wanted to share a few things that (heaven, forbid) might help someone in a similar situation.
- Have someone who either is a general oncology surgeon OR a surgeon whose training is specific to the area where a tumor or tumors are being removed.
Unfortunately we did not do this. Due to the swift nature of how everything happened, and our lack of knowledge about the pros and cons, we went with a surgeon who had some experience, but not enough.
Why does this matter?
Because dad's surgeon didn't know where the tumor was (despite being the one to actually find it in the colonoscopy so…). Because of this, he ended up slicing through the tumor. When he told us this we were all, "Oh, okay. At least you found it". NO.
Turns out, slicing through the tumor dramatically increases your chance of recurring cancer in that area.
It is what it is, but just be aware – in the awful case that you will ever need that knowledge.
- Make sure you have the nursing staff and doctors teach you how to treat your wounds and take care of yourself before leaving the hospital.
Unfortunately NO ONE at the hospital taught my dad how to take care of his various wounds – including his ostomy – at the hospital. They all said "Oh, home health will teach you". Guess what? Home health didn't know how to handle the ostomy!
You must insist that they teach you during your stay, because they are at your disposal while you're there. Once you leave it is incredibly harder to get help from knowledgeable staff.
- Make sure that family has support systems too.
It has been really hard not being near my family during this time. I have my husband, Matt, but it's important that you have people that you can lean on for love and support. 'Cause it's hard. And you really do find out who your friends are – and they know that you would do anything for them in return.
- Don't let your trial be your life's sole focus.
This is a hard one to do sometimes, especially on the bad days. It can be hard to remember that other people are going through things too. It's important to still love and serve those people too – they still need you.
I hope that no one ever has to experience cancer or other debilitating illnesses or trials. But it happens. And I promise you, we will be there for you, too. One Team, One Fight.

Sometimes we just have no other option than to give up. Failure is a part of this world we live in. Knowing how and when to let yourself fail is an important thing to know. I wish I could figure it out.
I'm not a quitter. I'm a get stuff done-er. I like to do things. I don't like free time. I'm super hard on my self. I am a perfectionist as well as an over-achiever. Much to Alyssa's frustration, I run myself ragged doing things rather than just relaxing like I probably should.
Last year, I had an interesting experience with being forced into taking a step back, rather than a step up: I had to give on two major things. I didn't exactly quit, but I had to let go.
First it was a very short-lived career as a server at Carrabba's, then it was a drawing II class. They were such hard decisions. I occasionally – rarely (more often than I want to admit) – bite off more than I can chew, and unfortunately I don't like admitting that. Not one bit. Maybe it's my hereditarily large ego. Whatever the reason, I felt like I was quitting, even though I really just dialing back my commitment level to a somewhat reasonable level.
Learning to fail at things is one of the toughest lessons I'm still trying to learn. I don't like giving up, backing down, or walking away. But sometimes that's exactly what I need to do.

Oh boy, pain!!
Entry posted by Sasuke1986 ·

So last night was kinda crappy as far as sleeping goes. My right leg kept having spasms, and then later I was having more of that lucid nonsense making the ventilation sound several times louder and creepier, and I laid on my right side in trying to get it to go away.
So I wake up this morning with the right side of the back of my neck and the right shoulder near that spot hurting! And it still hurts! Hooray!
I'm hoping I just pulled something and it's just sore from that. And that there will be less pain tomorrow. Moving in certain ways kinda sucks at the moment. Yeah.

One of the main points I tried to make in my message last Sunday was that we should resist the temptation of putting off till tomorrow to get right with God. To drive home my point, I gave several quotes from J. C. Ryle and his book, Thoughts for Young Men. From the first time I read this book, these thoughts have captured my attention. I hope they capture yours as well.
"Young man, it is appointed unto you once to die (Heb. 9:27); and however strong and healthy you may be now, the day of your death is perhaps very near. I see sickness in young people as well as old. I bury youthful corpses as well as aged. I read the names of persons no older than you in every graveyard . . . Are you thinking you will attend to these things tomorrow? Remember the words of wise King Solomon: 'Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth' (Proverbs 27:1) . . . Tomorrow is the devil's day, but today is God's. Satan cares not how spiritual your intentions may be, and how holy your resolutions, so long as they are fixed for tomorrow. Oh, give no place to the devil in this matter! Tell him, 'No Satan! It shall be today: today!'"
"Young man, do not be deceived. Do not think you can willfully serve your self and your pleasures in the beginning of life, and then go and serve God with ease at the end . . . It is a mockery to deal with God and your soul in such a fashion. It is an awful mockery to suppose you can give the flower of your strength to the world and the devil, and then put off the King of kings with the scraps and leftovers of your hearts, the wreck and remnant of your powers. It is an awful mockery, and you may find to your horror that the thing, in fact, cannot be done."
"I venture to say you are counting on a late repentance. You do not know what you are doing. You are reckoning without God. Repentance and faith are the gifts of God, and gifts that He often withholds, when they have been long offered in vain. I grant you that true repentance is never too late, but I warn you at the same time, late repentance is seldom true. I grant you, one penitent thief was converted in his last hours, that no man might despair; but I warn you, only one was converted, that no man might presume. I grant you it is written, Jesus is 'able to save to the uttermost those who come to God by Him' (Heb. 7:25). But I warn you, it is also written by the same Spirit, 'Because I have called, and you refused, I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your terror comes (Prov. 1:24, 26)."
"Every day you are either getting nearer to God, or further off. Every year that you continue unrepentant and unconverted, the wall of division between you and heaven become higher and thicker, and the gulf to be crossed deeper and broader. Oh, I urge you, dread the hardening effect of constant lingering in sin! Now is the accepted time."

Growth In Egemin's Handling Automation Division
As previously reported, Egemin had an especially strong year in Handling Automation, but also grew in every company division. Corporate Marking Manager, Michael Coryn, of Egemin International NV's Belgian office, noted that Egemin's large deep freeze contracts tipped the balance in 2014 to push Egemin into these rankings.

Client Resources
I have compiled a list of local resources for my birth clients. If you are looking for a midwife, doula, placenta encapsulation specialist, or chiropractor, this is the resource for you!
Colleen Mikeska
woman Craft Wellness & Healing
As an experienced birth worker, I've supported hundreds of women and new families through doula support, massage therapy and placenta encapsulation. After years of working as a birth doula, I've seen a variety of approaches to pregnancy and birth. Turns out the common thread in a happy mom isn't a specific approach, but is instead support. I'm familiar with the specific physical, emotional and mental needs of pregnant women and brand-spanking new moms. Pregnancy, birth and new parenthood are hard, but with the right team, it can be an exciting and joyous adventure.

First as a NICU Respiratory Therapist and now a placenta encapsulator.I am a certified encapsulator through the Association of Placenta Preparation Arts. I have been working with placentas for over five years and have helped over 1100 women have better postpartum transitions. I am very passionate about my work and helping women have a better postpartum transition. I built the first commercial kitchen in Texas solely dedicated to placenta processing. I testified at the Capital and worked to get a new law put in place to make placenta release easy at all Texas hospitals. I believe all women should be supported as they go through their postpartum transition.

On February 15, 2017, the staff of the SEC's Division of Investment Management (the Staff) published Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) concerning its December 2016 Guidance Update on mutual fund fee structures, including sales load variations (the Guidance Update), and its January 2017 interpretive letter issued to Capital Group, permitting brokers to charge commissions on sales of mutual fund "Clean Shares" (the CG Letter). The FAQs address six questions under three headings: (1) Variations in Sales Loads; (2) Template Filing Relief; and (3) the CG Letter.
Variations in Sales Loads
In the Guidance Update, the Staff noted that funds are considering "streamlined sales load structures to simplify costs for investors and to help address operational and compliance challenges that can exist for Intermediaries that sell shares of multiple Funds." The FAQs provide guidance on the following issues associated with implementing and disclosing these sales load variations:
- The Staff will not object if a fund that has received template filing relief includes disclosure regarding sales load variations by making a filing under Rule 497 and later including the disclosure in its next Rule 485(b) filing (thus avoiding the need for a second registration statement amendment, in addition to the annual update, in the same year), assuming that the fund would not have otherwise needed to amend its registration statement prior to implementing sales load variations. This option is not available for funds that are offering a new share class.
- Funds that choose to use a prospectus appendix to disclose sales load variations must disclose all variations for all share classes described in the prospectus in a single appendix. In other words, funds cannot use different appendices for different intermediaries and deliver to an investor only the appendix related to the investor's particular intermediary. Instead, the fund's prospectus must include a single, complete appendix.
- A variable annuity issuer may disclose sales load variations in an appendix to a variable annuity prospectus.
Template Filing Relief
The Staff explained that it generally would not grant template filing relief if a fund modifies the representations from the language set forth in the Guidance Update. Funds are directed to contact the Staff "[i]f exceptional circumstances require that the representations be modified." The representations include, among others, a statement that the disclosure changes in the template filing are substantially identical to disclosure changes that will be made in other filings.
CG Letter
In the CG Letter, the Staff expressed its view that the restrictions of Section 22(d) of the 1940 Act do not apply to a broker when the broker acts as an agent on behalf of its customers and charges its customers commissions for effecting transactions in "Clean Shares" of mutual funds. Clean Shares are a mutual fund share class "without any frontend load, deferred sales charge, or other asset-based fee for sales or distribution."
The FAQs explain that, to rely on the CG Letter, a fund should create a new Clean Share class, like any new share class, by making a filing under Rule 485(a), adding that a fund may seek template filing relief to add these classes to multiple funds within a fund complex. If a fund already offers a share class that meets the requirements of the CG Letter (such as an institutional class), the Staff advises that it does not believe a 485(a) filing is necessary solely to add the prospectus disclosure described in the CG Letter.
Finally, the FAQs advise that funds offering Clean Shares should include narrative fee table disclosure stating that investors may pay brokerage commissions on their transactions in Clean Shares.
The FAQs are available at: https://www.sec.gov/divisions/investment/guidance/frequently-asked-questions-mutual-fundfee-structures.htm.
The Guidance Update is available at: https://www.sec.gov/investment/im-guidance-2016-06.pdf, and the CG Letter is available at: https://www.sec.gov/divisions/investment/noaction/2017/capital-group-011117-22d.htm.

For Immediate Release
(CLiF) Awards Rural Libraries Grants to Twelve Public Libraries in New Hampshire and Vermont
Waterbury Center, VT — The Children's Literacy Foundation (CLiF) has awarded Rural Libraries grants to six public libraries in Vermont and six public libraries in New Hampshire for the 2017-2018 school year.
CLiF's Rural Libraries grant enables rural public libraries in New Hampshire and Vermont, many of whom face stagnant budgets and limited resources, to create excitement around reading, increase circulation, and strengthen their relationships with their communities. Since 1998, CLiF's Rural Libraries grant has served more than 85% of eligible towns in Vermont and New Hampshire.
2017-2018 Rural Libraries Grant recipients include:
· Cavendish Fletcher Community Library (Proctorsville, VT)
· Enosburg Public Library (Enosburg, VT)
· George H. Bixby Memorial Library (Francestown, NH)
· Gilmanton Year-Round Library (Gilmanton Ironworks, NH)
· Haston Library (Franklin, VT)
· Hill Library (Strafford, NH)
· Jericho Town Library (Jericho, VT)
· Lanpher Memorial Library (Hyde Park, VT)
· Madbury Public Library (Madbury, NH)
· New Durham Public Library (New Durham, NH)
· Orford Social Library (Orford, NH)
· Roger Clark Memorial Library (Pittsfield, VT)
Each of these libraries will receive brand new children's books ($2,000 value), in addition to new books for the local elementary school ($500 value), four storytelling presentations at the elementary school and childcare center(s), $250 to support a special initiative in the library, and new books for all children who attend the presentations to keep. The grants kick off with storytelling and book giveaways in Fall 2017 and conclude with a finale celebration in Spring 2018.
New Durham Public Library Director Cathy Allen says, "This is the most exciting thing that has happened to our library, but it's not just the monetary benefits, which are major. We envision a shift in the way residents view early literacy, heightened awareness regarding how important reading, writing, and self-expression are, and increased involvement by parents. In the long run, all of that will prove more valuable than the books themselves."
About the Children's Literacy Foundation (CLiF)
CLiF is a non-profit organization whose mission is to nurture a love of reading and writing among low-income, at-risk, and rural children up to age 12 throughout New Hampshire and Vermont. Since 1998, CLiF has supported and inspired nearly 200,000 young readers and writers through five literacy program grants and has given away almost $5 million in new, high-quality children's books.

Musicians mainly compose songs about love, beauty or heartbreak.
But for artiste Gérard Shyaka and his brother Jean de Dieu Iryamukuru, their approach to music is different. The brothers have collaborated to release a song that promotes protection of water resources in a bid to ensure sustainability of available natural resources.
The song titled Amazi ni Meza gives a comprehensive message calling upon Rwandans to take charge and protect their own environment.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5FfYE1zfEw
In an interview, Shyaka said that the environment plays a key role in the wellbeing of all people and called upon fellow citizens to plant trees and protect water resources.
He also adds that it is everyone's role to ensure sustainability of available resources for future generations.
Born in 1964, Shyaka started singing in 1988, and his first song called Delira was released in 1989. Currently, he works at Water for Growth Rwanda, a local platform that promotes improved management of water resources.
The 53 year-old artiste plans to release more songs on environment protection in the future.
Besides this new song, Amazi ni Meza, Shyaka composed other songs like Delira, Hanze aha and Kanyange, among others.

Citing 76 Grounds, Govt seeks Review of Order on Gay Laws
Published: 21st December 2013 10:30 AM | Last Updated: 21st December 2013 10:35 AM | A+A A-
The Centre on Friday moved the Supreme Court to seek a review of its verdict which revived Section 377 of IPC making gay sex an offence punishable with life term. The government contended that recriminalisation of sexual intercourse between consenting adults of the same sex has again put the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) community at risk of persecution and harassment. "All those people suddenly have become vulnerable to abuse and discrimination and require immediate relief," the review petition said.
The Centre's petition, finalised by Attorney General G E Vahanvati, sought that oral arguments be heard in an open court before disposing of its review petition, which is generally decided in chamber hearing. In the petition filed through advocate Devdutt Kamath, the Centre has cited 76 grounds to contend that the judgment passed by Justice G S Singhvi since retired) and Justice S J Mukhopadhaya is "contrary to well-established principles of law laid down by this court enunciating the width and ambit of Fundamental Rights under Articles 14, 15 and 21 of the Constitution." The government has also cited the example of other countries where gay sex has been legalised.
The review petition challenged the principle set by the court that has asked Parliament to amend the law if necessary. "While law-making is the sole responsibility of Parliament, it is the task of this Court to judge the constitutional validity of laws."
The petition went on to say that the December 11 verdict of the apex court setting aside Delhi High Court's 2009 judgment which decriminalised gay sex "suffers from glaring legal errors and seeks to invoke certain legal principles which were inapplicable in the facts of the present case".
"Criminalisation of same sex activity impedes access to health services as well," the government added.

Twenty veterans, many with no remaining family or loved ones, were laid to rest with honors Wednesday at a small funeral service at Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery.
They served in the Army, Marines, Air Force and Navy. Some were homeless, some died in nursing homes, and many simply lost contact with their extended families. About 100 people — mostly strangers — came to honor them.
People who knew four of the veterans accepted flags as tokens of the military's gratitude for their service. Thirteen of the veterans had no known next of kin, and volunteers accepted the flags on their behalf and on behalf of families who couldn't attend the service.
Veterans who are honorably discharged have a right to be buried in national cemeteries at no cost to the family, said cemetery director Larry Williams.
"This is what they deserve," Williams said. "They're national heroes that served America."
Other surrounding counties may have unidentified remains that belong to veterans who can be laid to rest at the national cemetery, Williams said.
The Dallas County medical examiner's office worked with the Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration to provide the proper burial once they identified the remains and found a Social Security number and date of birth to verify military service, cemetery administrative officer Deb-B Kamisato said.
About 40 veterans whose bodies are unclaimed are laid to rest at the cemetery each year, but the crowd at Wednesday's service was the largest she has seen.
"This has been a really, really good turnout," Kamisato said. "It's so touching. They came here but they didn't know anybody. But they came anyways because they saw it on the news last night. We really hope that they'll continue to support them."
After the service, Ellen McNeece stood in black leather thinking about her Army veteran husband who was laid to rest in the 638-acre cemetery 15 months ago. She rode in on a motorcycle from Palmer with a friend to honor the veterans.
"I know what they're going through," she said. "I wanted to pay my respects to all the fallen heroes because I know how [families] feel who lost their loved ones."
A flag flew at half-staff above the trees while members of the nonprofit organization Patriot Guard Riders placed large American flags around the pavilion and organized members to pay their respects.
Bill Holcomb of Flower Mound has ridden across the country with the group for almost 11 years, attending veterans' funerals. He said it was nice to see the large turnout Wednesday.
"Oftentimes it'll just be the cemetery reps and us here," Holcomb said. "There are going to be more of these. We are finding veterans who have been cremated and they're sitting on shelves at funeral homes."
The veterans laid to rest Wednesday:
- Air Force: Master Sergeant Bobby Gleason
- Air Force: Jerry Marshall
- Air Force: Staff Sergeant William Beeson
- Army: Dennis Moore
- Army: Private First Class Ned King
- Army: Joseph Dobson
- Marine Corps: Private Edward Gipson
- Marine Corps: Private Grant Wells Jr.
- Navy: Seaman Patrick Kelly
- Navy: Daniel McKinley
- Navy: Petty Officer 1st Class Michael Snyder
- Navy: Petty Officer 3rd Class Glenn Gatton
- Navy: Seaman Elbert Wilson

NFL DFS Stacking Options for Week 6
Week 6 includes some good stacking options to consider but be careful of putting too much emphasis on good situations without considering game flow. Take the Falcons/Dolphins game for example.
I expect the Matt Ryan/Julio Jones combo to be trendy this week. While the two may hook up for a solid fantasy day, the Falcons are favored by over 11 points which could lead the play calling to focus more on the running game in the second half which will limit the number of pass attempts and the potential upside for Ryan and Jones. Instead look for games that are expected to be closer with high Vegas totals such as the three QB/WR stacks I'm recommending this week, even if the matchup isn't quite as good.
Note: All salaries are from FanDuel, but stacks can be considered for any DFS site.
So, with that let's stack 'em up for Week 6.
Create Optimal FanDuel lineups using our DFS Lineup Optimizer tool >>
QB Drew Brees (NO): $8,600 / WR Ted Ginn (NO): $5,100
The Saints/Lions game has the highest Vegas total of the week at 50 points and should be reasonably close which should force Drew Brees and the Saints' passing game to keep attacking the Lions' defense. Brees has been excellent this season averaging 283 yards and two touchdowns per game. His numbers typically elevate a little bit when he is playing at home, and he has had a lot of success against the Lions over his career averaging over 343 passing yards and 2.7 touchdowns per game in six regular-season contests.
With Michael Thomas getting attention from Darius Slay, look for Brees to spread around his targets, but it will only take one deep ball to Ted Ginn for him to pay off his low salary. Bring it back with Golden Tate who leads the Lions' in targets and gets a favorable matchup in the slot.
Bring it back with: Golden Tate (DET): $7,600
QB Aaron Rodgers (GB): $9,000 / WR Davante Adams (GB): $7,200
Aaron Rodgers is on fire right now tossing at least three touchdown passes in three straight games. He will bring the ariel assault to Minnesota this week against the division-rival Vikings as a small road favorite. With a Packers' defense that is giving up points and facing a solid Vikings' run defense, Rodgers will need to pass often to move the ball down the field and continue to put points on the board.
Look for Xavier Rhodes to shadow Jordy Nelson, which could limit his production but free up Davante Adams for another big game on the other side of the field. Bring it back with Stefon Diggs assuming his is healthy and cleared to play, otherwise, pivot to Adam Thielen.
Bring it back with: Stefon Diggs (MIN): $7,300
QB Ben Roethlisberger (PIT): $7,400 / WR Antonio Brown (PIT): $9,200
This stack is a gut call that doesn't have a lot of numbers to support it and will take some courage to fire into a few GPP lineups. Everyone knows that Ben Roethlisberger has been worse on the road than at home in recent years so traveling to Arrowhead to face the undefeated Chiefs is not the place you typically want to take a shot. However, Roethlisberger and the Steelers were embarrassed last week and are the type of team that has the toughness to bounce back even in a tough spot.
He does have a few things going for him as a small underdog in a game with a decent-sized Vegas total and is facing a Chiefs' defense that has allowed 263 passing yards per game and ranks 25th and 1.8 touchdown passes per game, which ranks 23rd. The obvious WR to pair him with is Antonio Brown, but I'm not against also taking a shot with Martavis Bryant, who is dirt cheap on FanDuel at $5,500, for a double stack. Bring it back with Tyreek Hill or go with a full game stack and also include Kareem Hunt.
Bring it back with: Tyreek Hill (KC): $7,500
RB C.J. Anderson (DEN): $7,000 / DEF Denver Broncos: $5,400
The C.J. Anderson pairing with the Broncos' defense might be the most obvious stack of the season going against the injury-ravished Giants. The Broncos are a huge 12-point home favorite in a game with the lowest Vegas total of the week.
The Giants' run defense has allowed 119 yards per game to opposing RBs which ranks 28th in the league this season while Anderson has topped 20 carries in each of the Broncos' three victories. The Broncos' defense is expensive, but the Giants' have no running game and no healthy WRs, so they are worth every penny.
RB Mike Gillislee (NE): $6,200 / DEF New England Patriots: $4,600
The combo of Mike Gillislee and the Patriots' defense isn't quite as obvious. Gillislee has had at least 12 carries in every game this season but needs to find the end zone at least once to be worth his price. The Jets' have allowed three rushing scores through their first five games and have the 25th ranked run defense according to FootballOutsiders' DVOA rankings. The game script sets up nicely for the Patriots to run the ball against the Jets as a near double-digit favorite.
They may also want to limit the hits on Tom Brady with his sore shoulder and give more emphasis to the running game this week. There is nothing great about the Patriots' defense, but with limited offensive talent, the Jets are an offense they should be able to matchup against to generate a few sacks and turnovers.
