Scot Ranney's philosophy when it comes to music is simple: it's all about having fun. The audience is irresistibly drawn into that energy. The beauty of fun music is that it doesn't matter how old people in the audience are. It's as common to see toddlers dancing in front of Scot's bands as it is to see seniors and everyone in between.
I wanted to thank you again for your performance last night. I really enjoyed your performance and the way you interact with your audience and how it made the evening special for our guests. Your energy inspired me and I would love to have you be more involved here at the J!Vin Quenneville, Jansen Art Center, Lynden, WA
It has been our distinct pleasure to feature the Scot Ranney Trio at the St. Regis Aspen for the past year. Not only are these gentlemen very talented, but they have a wonderful, warm rapport with the guests, who are very appreciateve of their fine efforts. Scot and his associates present themselves very professionally and always strive for perfection.
These gentlemen are also very good ambassadors of our hotel and its outlets, properly promoting it throughout the community and among out hotel guests wherever appropriate. In my opinion, this sets them far above the caliber of many musicians I have worked with in the past several years. I feel they would fit very well in any fine, upscale establishment.Carla J. Murray, GM, The St. Regis, Aspen, Colorado
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you and the other members of the band on your outstanding performance during your time here.

I would like to thank you personally for your enthusiastic and successful efforts in providing a professional level of entertainment on the Queen of the West during her inaugural season.
I would especially like to extend my gratitude for successfully organizing rehearsals with our walk-on performers, building a complete set of music books containing nearly every song the guests could think of, and when problems arose on the boat you provided quality entertainment above and beyond the call of duty for the passengers.
We received many excellent comments about the band and your level of professionalism, entertainment, dedication, and warm hearts of each band member from the passengers and employees.
We hope you will consider working with the American West Steamboat Company again when the season begins next spring.Sean Phillips, GM, Queen of the West Cruises

He had threatened her of leaving and like always she was scared, her eyes welled up with tears and her heart missed many beats. She was needy of him. Why not? He was her father. Her eyes begged him to stay; her vulnerability screamed how much she needed him.
Unlike her, her mother never blinked when he threatened to leave. She would always look away whenever he spat out his venomous threat. But she thought that perhaps her mother felt the same way she felt – vulnerable, only she never showed it.
"You need to be strong", her mother would always say to her. "A man should never see you as weak; he must think you strong enough to do without him, to live without him. Every man, even if he is your father".
So she stopped being needy, stopped feeling like she would lose a treasure if he left. Being needy was being a woman she would tell herself. At this point she needed to be both – man and woman. She had taken her mother's advice and made sure she never was needy. Being a woman to her was being in competition with the man, whatever it cost, whatever it was worth.
Lacking nothing, lagging in nothing, she strived to have and be everything including a father. So when he threatened to leave in her twenty first year of living she shrugged him off. She was no longer the needy eleven years old who cried when he would make such threat, who thought there was nothing she would do without him. She was now a wo-man and it meant not needing him anymore.
Prior to that time, on her sixteenth birthday, her mother's words hung over her neck dropping down to the part of her chest where her heart was said to be and remained there for a long time. Of her father and men, she was counselled thus:
"He is not a man, so don't ever feel you can't do without him Chika. He is like chaff that goes where the wind blows him. In fact, all men are like that – whatever skirt the wind blows up, underneath is where you will find them. You must be different from me. I showed your father how much I needed him and that is why he always did what he did. They must never have such power over you". Those words were the gift that welcomed her to one of the significant stages of every woman's life- her sixteenth year.
When again, in her twenty third year, he threatened to leave and never return, she bid him go.
He stood shocked.
When did she grow up to talk back at him? He wondered. He didn't know his daughter had grown up at sixteen. He had been blind to the fact that he was no longer needed as was in the past. Somehow, he had gotten used to her eyes that pleaded he stayed that he knew not when they stopped looking at him nor pleading. Those eyes were the fuel for his ego that was bruised when his wife stopped looking at him five years into their marriage, when she preferred staring into space than into his eyes.
She {his wife} didn't know how emboldened he felt when she told him she loved him and could not live without him. She didn't know that their daughter meant everything to him. She didn't know how he looked forward to coming home to them every day. She didn't know that everything he did, he did because he loved them. He feared that if he showed how much he felt, it would be equivalent to being weak. That was what his father told him. That was how he saw his father run his own household. Keeping other women outside was being a man, or so he thought and had been taught.
Despite all he did, wife and daughter still craved him completely. Somehow, it got into his head that he took those eyes and words for granted. The result was a wife that stopped craving and caring. He noticed. It wound him. His daughter who had his wife's eyes never stopped craving, which re- fueled his wounded ego.
So on the day she bid him go after he threatened like always, he knew time was up. The very things that mattered were the things he took for granted and had consequently lost. The need they showed of him made him distant from them. He thought the more he did what he did, the needier of him they would be. Now, all he sees is empty sockets, with no iris or cornea, only an empty space, making him realize what he had – nothing. There was no point staying anymore, he told himself.
Chika came home that evening to see her father seated on the lone chair in the room staring into space like her mother was wont to do whenever he threatened to leave. She found it strange, but moved on to the kitchen. After all she had no need of him and had stopped caring a long time ago. There, she found her mother staring through the window into the neighborhood that lay on the other side of the house. She saw her back shaking and heard soft sniffs. That too was strange. Feeling uneasy, she went back to the room where her father sat and looked at him closely. Realization dawned on her. He had finally made true his threats. He had left.
She could shed no tear. She felt like a rock had been placed on her chest. She found her mother still at the same spot when she got back to the kitchen. All she heard for the first few minutes was a quiet sob from her mother.
"He was my life". Her mother managed in a cracked voice.
He was my life too, Chika thought within herself. Sadly, that fact just dawned on her, and as it did, her mother's words that she had kept around her neck and in her heart fell loose.
The door she thought and made sure she had shut against him had been open all the while, only she never knew or used it. Now, it was ajar and he was no longer there and she thought of what she could give up to hear him threaten to leave when what he did was stay.
"Strong people are the most vulnerable and needy people…" Chika wrote down when the pain of his departure pressed weightily on her young heart. "The things they think they do not need which becomes their point of strength are the very things that can break and crush them, the things that eventually weaken them. Needy is being a woman, being human. Some spaces can't be filled up by denial; they'd always remain empty till the right persons fill them up".
*I hope this helps you realize that every soul you care for, and that cares for you especially family needs you as much as you need them. Let them always have enough of you. Do not starve them of you, your affection, your care, your love. Sometimes, some spaces never get filled up, if what fills them up is lost or thrown away*.

Guerlain Spring/Summer 2011 Makeup Collection
Guerlain Spring/Summer 2011 makeup collection was created to make your summer looks even more beautiful and luring. From combined powder/bronzer to heat-resistant eyeshadow this collection is all about comfort and beauty.
Let's start with delicious Terracotta Gloss in neon shades that are meant to contrast with earthly glow of your skin and eyelids. Available in Rose, Orange, and Rouge this lip gloss is shining in another way. Instead of glittery shine you get almost lacquered effect in bright colors. Mmm…
Terra Inca Star Powder combines highlighter and bronzer to keep and accentuate your skin's glow. Very handy and light as it's a combined formula that excludes layers and layers of makeup during summer heat.
Ombre Fusion Cream Eyeshadow is heat-resistant. No creasing, long-wearing and awesome shades Bronze, Rose, and Taupe. Romantic smokey eyes or just a tint of rose on your eyelids and you look fresh and fab.
Terre Indigo 4-Shade Eyeshadow is not only amazing in shades but look at those ornaments. The palette includes four amazing shades to sport this summer – gold, two shades of brown, orange, and deep blue.
Khol Kajal is a black eyeliner in super cool packaging and ultra-pigmented formula. I bet it's very convenient in use due to its lipstick shape.
So what do you think of Guerlain Spring/Summer 2011 makeup collection? Have you tried it yet?

"We chose these places because the Caribbean is close for a quick getaway. In the dead of winter after a quick morning flight you can have your toes in the sand by noon. It's a no-brainer," says Gretchen Sheridan, co-founder of Vegan Travel Club. "Peru on
Concord, North Carolina (PRWEB) September 15, 2016
Rise in popularity of vegan travel prompts tour company to expand its offerings
With 100 million Americans choosing to eat more plant-based foods and around 7.5 million identifying as vegan1, it's no surprise that these health-conscious and ethical consumers are searching for travel options that cater to their lifestyle.
In her 20 years running an eco-vegan travel agency, Maryland-based Donna Zeigfinger from Green Earth Travel has never seen such great demand for vegan travel. "In the past 30 years that I've worked in the travel industry, the number of enquiries from people wanting vacations, tours and adventure trips that incorporate plant-based eating has more than doubled," says Zeigfinger.
Tour operator Tierno Tours has also seen demand for vegan travel rise. In 2010 it ran the first of its annual Vegano Italiano trips to Italy. These proved so popular that Tierno Tours launched Vegan Travel Club in 2016, in collaboration with Green Earth Travel, and added new destinations to its 2017 roster.
As well as its renowned tours of the Amalfi Coast and Cilento in Italy, Vegan Travel Club is offering excursions to Peru, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.
"We chose these places because the Caribbean is close for a quick getaway. In the dead of winter after a quick morning flight you can have your toes in the sand by noon. It's a no-brainer," says Gretchen Sheridan, co-founder of Vegan Travel Club. "Peru on the other hand is a once-in a-lifetime vacation, a bucket list kind of place. It's very high in demand for its stunning beauty alone."
Vegan Travel Club's tours are popular with both singles and couples alike, each offering plenty of spots for romantic moments and occasional interludes. The age of travelers is generally between 40 and 60, although more and more younger and older people are jumping on board as they become more health and environmentally conscientious.
"It's mostly people and their spouses who want to travel but not have to worry about the food," says Zeigfinger. "About 60 per cent are vegan and the rest are either spouses or friends. They go on the tour for both the food and the site seeing."
The popularity of vegan vacationing ties into a broader trend of those seeking ethical travel options. The non‐profit organization LOHAS (Lifestyles Of Health And Sustainability) states that 19 per cent (41 million) of American adults are 'conscientious consumers' (those focused on health and fitness, the environment, personal development, sustainable living and social justice) – up from just 4 per cent in the 1960s2. Conscientious travelers are part of this group. In addition, 75% of consumers want a more 'responsible holiday', according to a 2012 report by The Travel Foundation and Forum for the Future3.
Vegan Travel Club's 2017 tours include the following:
Puerto Rico
A day relaxing on Gilligan's Island in the lead-up to Valentine's Day offers couples the perfect romantic getaway on this Caribbean adventure that also includes snorkeling, easy hiking and a trip to Café Hacienda San Pedro in the hillsides of coffee country. Another highlight is a visit to Bioluminescent Bay. This spectacular place, illuminated by micro-organisms, glows neon after sunset, providing an experience unlike any other.
DATES: February 9–14, 2017 (6 days, 5 nights)

Amalfi and Cilento Coast
This popular tour includes a stay in the stunning National Park of Cilento – the best kept secret of the south – along with visits to the city of Herculaneum; the Monastery of Padula, a UNESCO World Heritage Site; the caves of Castelcivita; and a tour of the Roccadaspide center, which was built in 1242 by Fredrick II and passed down to the Duke Ettore Giuliani, who will give the tour himself.
DATES: April 22–29, 2017 (8 days, 7 nights) and June 24–July 1, 2017 (8 days, 7 nights)

"Near the end of high school, I was always super shy, backward."

"I secretly wanted to act. I also wanted be a toy designer and make puppets."
"When you're buying paintings, it feels grown up."
"I babysat kids in a ShopRite, which is a grocery store. They had a babysitting center so that parents could bring their children while they shopped. It was awful. I also was not very good at keeping the kids calm."

"I never thought of myself as a singer, like ever, ever, ever. It's hysterical that I sing."

"I'm really shy – I don't do karaoke."

"There was always that kind of imagination in our house, which was always a little crazy."
"At comedy festivals, we always get grouped with other musical comedians, so you can get to know them and see what everyone is doing. it's really fun and awesome that we're the only girls, because we can tackle issues that guys can't sing about."
"I thought 'Garfunkel and Oates' would be too confusing, but it ended up being confusing in the best of ways because the first time we played a comedy club, it was because they thought we were the real Garfunkel and Oates."

The Association of Polish Fruit and Vegetable Distributors invited delegates from the UAE to participate in a special apple study tour in April, the third time such an event has taken place.
Distributors from companies including Lulu Group International, Farzana Trading, Jaleel Holdings and Fruit Line Trading were guests at various European apple sorting plants.
During the event, visitors had an opportunity to learn more about the methods used to produce European apples.
Delegates used the opportunity to have a closer look at storage facilities – where the fruit goes straight from harvest – as well as at sorting and packing lines.
The UAE party found out that prior to export, every shipment of bicolored apples is subject to phytosanitary and pesticide residue inspections by the NPPO, which confirms that the plant product complies with phytosanitary requirements of the country of destination as nominated by the exporter.
The schedule included matchmaking meetings with apple producer representatives, and a visit to a modern apple sorting plant.
During their stay in Europe, the UAE delegates saw the high quality and appeal of the fruit, stemming from a close cooperation between producers and scientific centers..
The event was a part of the informational and promotional campaign Bicolored Apples from Europe, first launched in 2014.
The promotional strategy is mainly aimed at marketing bicoloured apples cultivated all over Europe such as Gala, Red Jonaprince, Idared, Gloster, Ligol, Jonagored, Golden Delicious, Champion and Najdared.

Vodafone Qatar Launches Promotional International 25 Card With Effective Rates Of 50 Dirhams Per Minute To 14 Countries
9 October, 2010: Combining the simplicity of a scratch card with the value of a calling card, Vodafone Qatar today announced the launch of a new promotional International 25 Card.
The International 25 Card costs QR 25 and offers 50 minutes of talk-time at an effective calling rate of just 50 Dirhams per minute to the following 14 countries:
Bangladesh, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Syria, Thailand, Turkey, Bahrain, U.A.E and Saudi Arabia.
The International 25 Card can be used by all Vodafone customers on Freedom and Red on their mobile phones.
"The International 25 Card makes it calling home for less easy. With other calling cards, consumers need to dial special numbers and enter PIN codes. With Vodafone's International 25 Card all they need to do is load as they would any other scratch card," said Michael Portz, Chief Marketing Officer, Vodafone Qatar.
The promotional card will be available until 11 November 2010 (or while supplies last) at all Vodafone's retail stores and partner outlets.

Discussion of the world's fastest-growing economic regions often focuses on Asia. But Africa has also grown rapidly over the last two decades, largely due to increasing international import-export trade – despite a significant trade finance gap.
Real GDP growth in the continent of Africa averaged over 5 percent between 2001 and 2014, according to an Africa Development Bank report. Though growth weakened to an estimated 3.6 percent in 2015, it remained above the global average of 3.1 percent. According to the same report: "At this growth rate, Africa remained the second-fastest-growing economy in the world (after emerging Asia), and several African countries were among the world's fastest-growing countries."1
African Import-Export Trade Grows Despite Business Finance Challenges
Cross-border trade in Africa now represents about two-thirds of GDP. Imports and exports have grown steadily since the mid-1990s, apart from a brief reversal during the 2008 financial crisis. Since 2009, they have increased at an annual average rate of 2.6 percent.2 Much of the export trade involves oil and commodities, though foodstuffs, textiles and precious metals are also important.3 Imports are dominated by foodstuffs, machinery and equipment, vehicles, chemicals and fuel.4
Most of this trade is with countries outside Africa: less than 20 percent of cross-border trade is between African nations.5 Perhaps because of the legacy of old colonial relationships, the EU has historically been the African Continent's largest trading partner, though the U.S. and China are also important importers of oil and commodities. In 2015, China overtook the EU as Africa's largest trading partner by value.6 For the U.S., crude oil accounts for 90 percent of imports from Africa, according to the Brookings Institution.7
In the last 15 years, Africa has become far more open to international finance, and this has driven its strong trade performance. Many countries have opened their financial borders, allowing in significant amounts of international investment. Banks have boomed, providing much-needed sources of funding for international businesses. Mobile payments have brought flexibility and convenience to millions.
Yet despite Africa's increasing financial openness, expanding import-export trade with Africa remains challenging due in large part to a shortage of trade finance.
Africa's Trade Finance Gap
Access to trade finance is essential for intra-regional trade as well as trade with the rest of the world. But there is currently insufficient trade finance capacity in Africa to support the needs of the continent's importers and exporters.
In 2014, the African Development Bank conducted a study of 276 commercial banks in 45 African countries. It discovered that although 93 percent of banks in Africa – including international banks – provide trade finance, there is a significant deficit compared to demand for trade finance.8 The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) estimates the trade finance gap in Africa at $110 billion to $120 billion, which is approximately 25 percent of total demand.9
The trade finance gap is partly due to an African banking sector that is still underdeveloped and lacks sophisticated risk assessment capacity. Letters of credit issued by banks are the most common trade finance instrument for African businesses, but on average, banks reject 10 percent of applications. The ICC says that the main reason for rejection is poor creditworthiness, much of it due to the banks' limited ability to assess credit risk accurately.10 For international businesses, lack of U.S. dollar liquidity is also a barrier to trade, since many African countries have limited FX reserves.11
But there is another problem too. Historically, European banks have provided the majority of cross-border lending to developing countries. But now, under pressure from regulators and shareholders to reduce their risks, these banks are retreating to their core markets, leaving a gap that domestic banks in developing countries are ill-equipped to fill.12 The World Trade Organization says that small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) in developing countries are experiencing particular difficulty obtaining trade finance.13
To counter this, supranational organizations such as the World Bank and the Africa Development Bank are introducing measures designed to help businesses in developing countries gain access to trade finance, mostly in the form of loans and grants. And there are private-sector initiatives too. Money managers are providing trade finance to import-export enterprises against the collateral of future sales.14 And online financial technology (fintech) companies are creating new sources of trade finance for SMEs around the globe, including those in Africa.15
The Takeaway
Africa holds exciting opportunities for international U.S. businesses, both those exporting to the continent and those importing from it. New providers, including fintechs, and support from supranational organizations may help to remove trade finance bottlenecks, thus improving the prospects for international trade with Africa.

I'm starting a low carb diet in conjunction with P90x. If you have never completed P90x before, please see here about purchasing P90x. Otherwise, follow the nutrition guide the first round and see how you do after 90 days. I am going to try cutting during P90x to gain that six pack. My body loves to send carbs to my fat tissues, I think I am genetically predisposed to getting fat. I'll be posting recipes that are low-carb, so keep an eye out.
If you are looking for a low carb insanity mean plan, I have not tried it, nor recommend it. My Insanity Meal Plan worked fantastic for Insanity but not so much for P90x.
1. First calculate your calories required with P90x. You can do this from beachbody's website. Sign up here for a free account.
2. Next determine how many carbs you require. I keep my carbs fairly low, around 30g a day (30x4 = 120 calories). I have tried higher amounts in the past but I never seem to get into ketosis when I'm above 30. I suggest starting around 85g a day and working your way down.
3. Figure out how much protein you need. Take your lean body mass (in kg) and multiple by 2.75.You can calculate your lean body mass by multiplying your weight by your fat percetage. See below for a 180 lb man at 20% body fat:
4. The rest comes from fat, which I find the hardest to get. When you low-carb your energy will come from FAT. You'll need to make sure you get enough fat or you'll crash. There are 9 cals per fat gram.The first few weeks will be rough for some and you will feel tired. This tiredness passes. I still highly recommend you complete 90 days first following the P90x nutrition plan. This low-carb is a last resort if you've found nothing else has worked before. If you reduce fat (because of lack of weight loss) increase protein for the lack of calories lost from reducing fat.
Don't worry if you are off slightly. Error on the side of protein/fat. But try to keep close to your own figures.
On another note, have one day a week be a carb day, aprox the same number of calories, but 70% should be from carbs and only 18% from protein. The rest is fat. Get in your sweet potatoes, whole grain rice, fruits, a cheat meal perhaps (you didn't hear me say that!), and other goodies you want. Try to keep it clean and it should be a workout day, Legs & Back would be a good day to do this on. This will replenish your energy stores.
Also, take a good multi-vitamin like the P90x Peak Health Formula.This will help with nutrients as you are cutting out a lot of fruits. Get it shipped home direct as it'll save on shipping costs. Also being a coach helps with the discount you'll receive (see more about Bechbody's Coaching Opportunity).
Shakeology is another option if your carb content can be higher (this stuff is fantastic!).
Drink a gallon of water a day.
If you have any questions, give me a shout or post a comment below. And keep pushing play!

#TheAuthenticTwizzlinCruncherz would like to tell you about something they like to call "Motivational Speeches"
"For those that live on this earth, not a lot know about the hidden path of motivation. In minutes you will be transformed from a simple worm to a fearless wolf" -Gary Spivey (possible)
So Sn00p and Dr3 would like to tell you a little story they'd like to call "From Bet to Better" which is about a dear friend Elliot McSkillet and his transformation to be better in the world. He grew up as a well behaved child. He never did drugs and always was on time…
But once he got to college he picked up a bad habit of Ketamine and gambling. He bet off his house, his furniture, and all of his money. He dropped out of school and his life was no longer in order. As he stated "I was addicted to drugs." It was a very hard time for McSkillet and it was very hard to get out.
But; through Gary Spivey and Motivational Speeches McSkillet got though all of this madness.
In Other words : "He got better"
Elliot went back to school and got his Chemical Engineering degree and found a job as an Engineer in Georgia! In addition, he has run multiple marathons and triathlons. He is also a lot more optimistic about life. We're prouda u Elliot McSkillet! Whose Next?!
Gary Spivey's wig has magical motivational powers to take you to a better place.
Here are a few motivational Speeches 4 U! ( we actually R trying to help)
This is a good wake up video. Reminds you of your priorities! Don't be THAT WORM
Also: This playlist is really good to listen to:
They changed Gary Spivey and Elliot McSkillet's life, will it change yours?
#GarySpivey #RIP #UwillBremembered #DontBaWORM #BEFEARLESS
Here are some folks who have taken on the #GarySpivey Challenge:
Good 4 U guys!
Peace Luv and #GarySpivey

Even if you've been practicing and practicing your headspins, you still might not match up to miniature breakdancer "Bgirl Terra."
At just six years old, she's already part of the UK break dancing troupe Soul Mavericks, and is wowing crowds with her fearless moves.
The video above is from the Chelles Battle Pro competition that was held in Paris on March 2, 2013. The British-born little girl competed against worthy opponent "Bboy Leelou" in the Baby Battle division, and even though she was nearly half his size, she gave him a run for his money.
Terra lost the overall battle, but walked away with the "Best Dancer" prize, and certainly won our hearts as well.

New Carbon Monoxide & Smoke Detector Legislation from 1st October
By the time you read this, new regulations will have come into force in England mandating that rental properties come equipped with both smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Similar changes will effect shared houses, flats and bedsits. Owners of such properties will need to comply with these rules, or be faced with a fine of up to £5,000. But what exactly do they do? Let's see if we can find out.
Who is responsible?
The immediate landlord is responsible for making sure that these regulations are complied with. In the case of licenced houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) or those subject to selective licencing, the responsibility falls to the licence holder. Providers of social housing are exempt.
Which premises are effected?
It's worth being clear exactly what we're talking about here: the new rules are said to affect any premises which comprise a dwelling. This means that a single building partitioned into many dwellings (like a block of flats) is included, as is any flat which is above a shop or other non-residential business.
Moreover, any residential premises must be occupied – or, more specifically, it must be letted to one or more people for use as a main residence.
That said, there are a few exceptions. These include student residences, care homes, hostels, hospitals, accommodation and, interestingly, tenancies where the occupier shares accommodation with any member of the landlord's family.
From the first of October, landlords will be obliged to equip their properties with two sorts of alarms – but this obligation varies slightly according between the two.
Smoke alarms must be installed into each storey of the building where there is a room used as a living accommodation. This means halls, landings, kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and living areas. In the case of blocks of flats, this means that a communal alarm can be placed in the hallways of a block of flats, which will cater to the entire floor.
Similarly, carbon monoxide alarms must be installed – but these need only be installed in properties containing a solid-fuel burning appliance. This might mean a wood or coal fireplace or stove, or an Aga oven. This was already a legal requirement of new fuel-combusting installations; the new legislation simply extends this to older ones.
Alarms come in a number of different varieties, but interestingly, the regulations are not specific about what sort of smoke alarm is required. The best protection against fire can be achieved using a hard-wired system, which will ensure that the alarm does not have to rely on batteries – which can be removed by tenants for use in remote controls and the like. The Residential Landlords Association recommend that tamper proof alarms with a life-expectancy of at least ten years should be installed. This will provide the strongest possible protection against fire.
Neither do the regulations stipulate exactly where the alarms should be placed – landlords are instead advised to refer to the guidelines provided by the manufacturer. The most effective smoke alarms are normally placed in a hall or stairway – where smoke from anywhere in the property is likely to circulate.
How will this be checked and enforced?
It is the landlord's duty to check and ensure that these new regulations have been complied with on the first day of any new tenancy. Tenancies which were entered into before October the first are therefore not covered by the rule.
This provision does not suggest that landlords should not bother worrying about their existing tenancies, but it is certainly good practice to ensure that existing properties are covered also. Government guidelines recommend that the tenant check their alarms at least monthly to ensure that they are working. That said, a landlord may be asked to produce proof that they've taken this responsibility seriously and put into place a system which will ensure that their alarms are regularly checked.
In charge of enforcing these new rules is the local authority, who must give 28 days' notice of any action to be taken if they belief any property to have violated the legislation. This will allow the landlord to make representation, if they wish – this may be necessary in order to show that action has been taken – it may be that a tenant is not allowing the necessary work to be done. The notice must be served with 21 days of them being given reason to believe that the property is in breach.
The maximum penalty for non-compliance is a charge of up to £5,000.

A Brazilian child bawling in the crowd became the last image from an absolutely shocking upset at Maracanãzinho arena in the wee hours of Wednesday morning in Rio.
The powerhouse Brazilian women's volleyball team was two points away from a loss when the young fan was first shown on the screen, but he was far from the only person in the arena to shed tears.
China shocked the volleyball world by upsetting the hosts in five sets (15-25, 25-23, 25-22, 22-25, 15-13) in the quarterfinals, punching a ticket to the semifinals and a guaranteed shot at a medal while the two-time reigning gold medal squad will be heading home early.
Brazil rolled through Pool A in the preliminary round, sweeping all five opponents to go a perfect 15-0 in sets.
China, meanwhile, struggled in prelim play, going 2-3 overall and 9-9 in sets - good for fourth place in Pool B.
But China entered the Olympics as the No. 3 team in the world and they showed their mettle Tuesday night, rebounding from an embarrassing 25-15 loss in the first set to take the next two sets from Brazil.
Brazil looked absolutely dominant in the first set and it seemed as if it was going to be another easy night.
China had other ideas and stuck with Brazil all second set before taking over and putting it away late with a Zhu Ting kill.
The third set looked like deja vu - a close contest before China went on a run late.
And just like that, Brazil was on its heels and worry started to creep across the faces of players, coaches and fans alike.
China nearly blew its shot late in the fourth set when a miscommunication led to a set that dropped untouched to the floor for a Brazil point as two Chinese players stood around it, unable to do anything but look.
That led to a brief respite for the Brazilians with a set victory, but less than 20 minutes later, they were overcome with tears.
Ting was a one-woman wrecking crew for China with 28 points on 26 spikes and a pair of blocks.
China will take on the Netherlands in the semifinals Thursday. The two teams met on the first day of prelims when the upstart Netherlands shocked China with a five-set upset.

Iloilo City – As part of the Department's effort in ensuring the effective implementation of Assistance to Disadvantaged Municipalities (ADM) Program in the Region, DILG Regional Office 6 gathered eighteen (18) auditors from the five provinces of the Region and three (3) from DILG RO 6 Audit Team to attend the 3rd Leg of Orientation and Action Planning Workshop on FY 2017 ADM Program last August 15-16, 2017 held at Smallville 21, Smallville Complex Mandurriao, Iloilo City. The Municipal Local Government Operations Officers (MLGOOs), Municipal Planning and Development Officer (MPDO), Municipal Engineer (ME) and Accountant of the LGUs of Guimaras along with the Guimaras DILG Provincial Staff also attended the orientation.
The activity was done in anticipation of the vital role of the auditors in ensuring that the information reported on financial accomplishment of implementing LGUs are true and accurate and that the financial statements are prepared in accordance with the existing accounting and auditing rules.
In his message during the program, Atty. Anthony C. Nuyda, CESO III, DILG 6 Regional Director, cited the importance of the attendance of the COA personnel to the orientation because DILG wanted to level-off the understanding of the program between and among the COA Auditors and implementing LGUs to ensure the effective and proper implementation of the program. He added that in order to qualify for ADM, the LGU must pass the Seal of Good Financial Housekeeping of DILG which includes COA findings and compliance to Full Disclosure Policy.
Mr. Richard Villacorte, Program Manager, Project Management Office (PMO), commended the initiative of the DILG Region 6 in conducting this activity with the COA. He stressed the need to do similar activity in other Regions.
Ms. Marivic D. Nocum, Asst. Project Manager, DILG-OPDS-ADM-WSSPMO, Ms. Jocelyn M. Santos, Asst. Project Manager, DILG-OPDS-ADM-LAR and Engr. Monien D. Peñaflor, DILG-OPDS-ADM-LAR discussed the guidelines, mechanics and implementation requirements of the ADM program. (Vincent Villorente, DILG6)

She said that she would never run away,
From the problems that we both knew that we would have to face,
Well she grabbed her car keys and she made her great escape,
Finally pulling over but a thousand miles too late,
That fucking bitch!
And now I'm racking my brain, trying to see,
What she actually ever really meant to me,
I want to grab her heart straight from her chest,
Hold it in my hands and watch,
That fucker bleed!
It's been six whole months, since I have played her game,
I've moved on, I can't even remember,
Her name

Through Susan's work in environmental law, she has made a positive impact both personally and professionally.
Initially working as a corporate and banking lawyer at a traditional firm, Susan decided to transition towards non-profit law to particularly focus on international human's rights issues. Susan reflects, "I like working in my current position because I am constantly learning about new issues and developing new skills and working with different people and organizations from all over the country and the world."
Throughout her work, Susan has met challenges and rewards from short-term funding problems and working with motivated young people. Susan explains her work currently at Earth Day Network includes interacting with funders who constantly change their priorities and do not invest in long-term projects that could make a greater impact. Yet, Susan also reflects that some of the most rewarding parts of her job include, "Working with young people and seeing them succeed."
Throughout her career, Susan notes that women are more willing to help women in building each other up in the work force. I asked Susan what the largest change she has noticed, "Women are more supportive of each other now and there are increasing number of women in leadership roles although they are still considerably under represented."
Susan has provided some insight on her position and what she looks for in young women entering the workforce. In the field of law, she said that being a good writer is imperative for communication, whether it is raising funds, negotiations, and overall advocation for the cause. Susan and her colleagues look for individuals who show passion for the core issues, willingness to work hard, and never say no by always remaining flexible. The most important piece of advice that Susan gives for future professional women is, "Be ready to be flexible and take on whatever needs to be done on the job. Try to get relevant experience as a volunteer or through course work."
I have known Susan and her husband, and especially her triplets since I was born. Susan represents the true epitome of a successful and working mom who "has it all," with blending personally passion and professionally success to make an impact on our world.

Update: It's almost 2:00 in the morning, and I just finished nursing Jack and obsessing about all the friends that I didn't mention in my post. I mean, I had this incredibly meaningful e-mail exchange with my favorite cousin in the whole wide world, Julie, this past week. And then there was the e-mail from Kelly with pregnancy updates (oh, and when you read this, Kelly, I will actually send a personal response soon, but I'll be able to get together with you sometime from the 17th to the 27th. I can't wait to see you!). And there are other friends, too, that I could sit here and type about, but it's 2:00 AM, and I really need to stop obsessing and go back to sleep.
This past week my heart has been full of my friends.
Thursday was my soulmate Megan's birthday.
I love her dearly. As I wrote on a previous post,
She knows my heart.
She quenches my soul's thirst.
She is Home.
On Thursday Rachel came to visit me. What joy to have her visit! We are like two puzzle pieces that fit so comfortably together. We both love to talk about birth, books, baking/cooking, and all things green. She and her two kids, Ellie and Jonathan, stayed with us until Saturday, and we all had such a good time. Unfortunately, we managed to spend 3 days together without taking ONE picture.
On Thursday Rachel and I also met a mutual friend, Michele, for lunch. (Thursday was a big day!) Michele is one of the most refreshing and real people I know. I absolutely love to spend time with her.
Last week was happy…and this week is sad. This week, Ashley and Carley move back to Louisiana.
I have grown to love both Ashley and Carley in the past few months. Amélie more than adores Carley.
The preschool queue is going to be awfully lonely for both Amélie and me after they leave. It's been a long time since I connected with someone so quickly and comfortably. We have such fun when we're together, and I just don't even want to think about life here without them. Amélie informed me tonight that she wants her daddy to get a job in Louisiana. I'm pretty sure my family would disown me if we moved that far away, but I swear it's tempting.
This morning I heard the song "Brave" by Nichole Nordeman, and I couldn't help but think of my friends and how they inspire and encourage and challenge me. (I tried to find a more interesting video of the song….)

Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) is one of the most well-known phenomena in the process industries, and yet it still makes up an inordinately large percentage of global maintenance expenditures. CUI is a subject that is well-researched and understood; extensive studies have been commissioned to determine the causes, effects, prevention, and mitigation of CUI.
In the simplest terms, CUI is any type of corrosion that occurs due to moisture present on the external surface of insulated equipment. The damage/attack can be caused by one of the multiple factors, and can occur in equipment operating at ambient, low, and heated services, depending upon conditions. Moreover, CUI can occur in equipment that is in service, out of service, or in cyclic service.
The corrosion itself is most commonly galvanic, chloride, acidic, or alkaline corrosion. If undetected, the results of CUI can lead to leaks and the shutdown of a process unit or an entire facility.

CUI (Corrosion Under Insulation) has always been a challenge for plant operators, quality assurance/reliability engineers and equipment owners. It is hard to identify the problem until it has become an emergency situation, often leading to unit shut downs or even the whole facility shut down for emergency repairs.

By Hegeon Kwun at Southwest Research Institute, and Glenn Light at Southwest Research Institute
Nearly ten years ago the magnetostrictive sensor (MsS) technology was reported in this journal (July/August 1996 Issue, Volume 2 Issue 4) as a method to detect corrosion in insulated piping. At that time, the MsS Technology consisted primarily of the longitudinal guided wave mode introduced into the pipe with a coil wrapped around the steel pipe with a coil wrapped around the steel pipe and a number of large magnets setting up an axially oriented magnetic baising field in the area of the coil. The longitudinal mode worked well for dry, unfilled pipe. However, in liquid filled pipes, the longitudinal mode didn't work well because it interacts with the liquid, producing extraneous signals that, in turn, cause difficulty in analyzing data.

Chloride cracking of austenitic stainless steels (300 series SS) is an off-shoot of CUI, and there's nothing really magical about it. If you have insulated solid stainless steel equipment operating in the CUI temperature range you are likely to eventually experience External Chloride Stress Corrosion Cracking (ECSCC).
May/June 2004 Inspectioneering Journal
CUI may be the most well known and widespread corrosion phenomena in our industry. It's also one of the most difficult to prevent because by and large no matter what precautions we take, water eventually gets into the insulation and begins to do it's dirty work, sometimes sight unseen until process leakage occurs. And it's not isolated to just insulation. Corrosion under fire-proofing (CUF) is also prevalent in our industry and requires the same type of inspection planning, design prevention, and mitigation that is required for CUI.

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is a real threat to the onstream reliability of many of today's plants. This type of corrosion can cause failures in areas that are not normally of a primary concern to an inspection program. The failures are often the result of localized corrosion and not general wasting over a large area. These failures can be catastrophic in nature, or at least, have an adverse economic effect in terms of downtime and repairs.

Week 15 pregnancy is a stage where your baby now measures about 4 inches long, crown to rump and weighs about 2 ½ ounces. The legs are growing longer than the arms, and there is movement of all the joints and limbs. A health point to consider is water aerobics, but do this in consultation with your doctor.
Many couples worry about giving birth to a healthy baby, but always maintain a positive attitude, consider treatments in the early stages of discomfort and eat sensibly. Feeling the first flutters and kicks is an amazing experience of pregnancy.
At week 15 pregnancy, remember to take precautions while driving – never travel without a seat belt. If you are involved in any kind of car accident, visit your doctor immediately and consider treatments if necessary, even it is for shock. A major health point for you is to get as much calcium for strong bones and teeth, iron to combat tiredness and zinc for growth and health. Try to eat a varied, healthy diet.
Week 15 pregnancy is really an enjoyable time – morning sickness and exhaustion are past, the aches and pains of the future are far away – you can enjoy your pregnancy and look forward to a healthy baby. The heart and kidneys at this stage will continue to develop. You will need to take extra care of yourself by considering treatments that will help with any discomfort you may be experiencing, and a health point to follow is a good exercise regime.
At this stage, during week 15 pregnancy, your baby is about 4 – 4 ½ inches in length and weighs a little over 2 ounces. Your baby has taste buds and also may get hiccups from time to time. A health point you should consider is the right foods to eat so that you can have a healthy baby.
You might feel your ligaments stretching in your abdomen. As the uterus expands, the elastic tissue that supports it stretches to accommodate its growth. The process can cause twinges or cramps. There are warm bath treatments that can help. The main focus should be on maintaining your health and developing a positive attitude.

Vavachan is a wealthy man,who has an agreement Snehalayam, an institution working under the church that the body of any person dying there would be handed over a hospital that he owns to study as a cavender. A murder initiated by Vavachan's son,a doctor at the hospital,takes place when they have a shortage of dead bodies. This incident is seen by Anumol, who is the daughter of Jose who is the gravedigger of the church. She informs this to sister Sophie and Father Sunny. Their reaction to this incident develops at Snehalayam. At the present time Vavachan is spreading the false rumor that Sophie and Father Sunny is in a relationship and the other events happening there forms the rest of the narrative.
Other subplots like a girl sent to study nursing and the inmate of the church asking for a hindu way of funeral while some ends and other leave some loose ends.In between there is romance of Sunny and Sophie after they take of their holy attire takes the movie to a new terrain.

Wow, love your work. I am a beginner in the encaustic world but just love it. I see you wear a respirator when you work. Hard to get used to but probably safest way to go.
The watery effect that you get with the shellac is very interesting!
- November 8, 2008 at 11:11 AM
- Lovely Linda said...
do you use the respirator all the time while you are working with the wax and torch? Is that because a lack of ventilation? I am struggling to ventilate properly but do have a respirator so perhaps that would be the solution.
Thanks for any input. also. how do you use the shellac to get the marbled effect?
- November 9, 2008 at 1:49 PM

Hi Linda – Thank you for your comments. I do wear my respirator but probably not as often as I should. I wear it more when I am working on larger panels. I also keep my studio windows wide open with at least one fan going even in winter. I am still perfecting my signature shellac technique so stay tuned for that.
