Ø From 598 MW in March 2017 to 1,143 MW now, Hartek Power registers phenomenal growth of 91.1 per cent in its solar grid EPC business in 10 months
Chandigarh, February 14, 2018: The power systems EPC portfolio of Hartek Power Pvt Ltd, one of India's fastest growing Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) companies, has surpassed 1 GW in solar power projects with the commissioning of 545-MW projects spread across six states.
Cashing in on India's solar overdrive to match its growth with that of the industry, Hartek Power has registered a phenomenal growth of 91.1 per cent in its power systems EPC business catering to solar plants in a span of just 10 months. From just 598 MW, as on March 31, 2017, the solar power system EPC projects executed by Hartek Power have now gone up to 1,143 MW, registering nearly a twofold growth.
Involving 15 substations of up to 220 KV, the 545-MW projects executed by Hartek Power in the current financial year include a 100-MW project in Nagarkurnool district of Telangana, a 50-MW project in Ashoknagar district of Madhya Pradesh, a 25-MW project in Sangrur district of Punjab, six projects totalling 180 MW in Bellary, Tumkur and Davanagere districts of Karnataka, two projects of 140 MW in Badhla district of Rajasthan and four projects of 50 MW in Banda, Hamirpur, Kushinagar and Hardoi districts of Uttar Pradesh.
With other 285-MW projects under execution, Hartek Power is expected to reach the 1.5-GW mark by the end of the current financial year.
The scope of work of these projects included complete turnkey solutions of post-inverter works covering the design, engineering, supply, installation, automation and commissioning of the power plant electrification.
Hailing the achievement, Hartek Group Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) Hartek Singh said, "The power systems business unit of the Hartek Group has done incredibly well. We owe our success to our unflinching commitment to quality and timely execution of projects. We have won the trust of key developers by creating immense value for them in terms of unmatched expertise and services. These are the factors that have enabled us to emerge as one of the fastest growing EPC companies in the Indian solar space."
Describing Hartek Power as an old and valued partner known for its high quality standards and reliability, Preet Sandhu, Co-Founder and Executive Vice-President, Infra, Azure Power, which has been associated with Hartek Power in executing substations for solar power projects for the past eight years, said, "Hartek Power's high-quality alternating current (AC) work and power evacuation has strengthened our execution capabilities. We are pleased to have them as a valuable partner in our growth story, and congratulate them on achieving this milestone."
A pan-India company with presence in 18 states which ventured into the solar power systems domain just six years ago, Hartek Power is focusing on South India and new geographies like Jharkhand and Bihar to consolidate its position. "At the same time, we are strengthening our hold in states like Punjab, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh where we have traditionally been doing well," said the Hartek Group CMD.
As a backward integration strategy, the Hartek Group also has its own manufacturing division, which makes power distribution products catering to its own projects and to the requirements of industries, utilities and independent power producers, like medium-voltage switchboard panels, control relay panels and low-voltage panels. The economies of scale of this manufacturing business have been immense for Hartek Power and its EPC portfolio with appreciable improvement in supply chain and considerable reduction in costs.
Hartek Power is part of the billion-INR Hartek Group, which contributes significantly towards the entire power sector value chain through its diversified portfolio covering Power Systems, Rooftop Solar, Power Distribution Products, Fuel Services, Smart Cities and Value Added Services.
India's installed solar generation capacity has gone up by more than 30 times from 0.5 GW to 17 GW in less than seven years, offering huge opportunities for growth to firms like Hartek Power.

In HR, People Management and Personnel circles, new terms and processes come up from time to time that non specialist managers and business owners need to find out about. 'Onboarding' is one of these, but what does it mean?
This is my definition. (Please correct me if I'm misguided):
'OnBoarding', is all the activity that a company and a person needs to do from the point of job offer to when a new employee is up and running and productive within the company.
Touchy Feely
Some companies also like to demonstrate how much new hires mean to them by leaving quirky welcome kit packs and fun gifts next to their flashy new devices as they arrive at their new desks on day 1.
For millennials and in some industries these are almost seen as standard, welcoming touches.
Red Tape
The reality of the general onboarding process though is, traditionally, heavily laden down with administration work.
Contracts. Medicals. Health and safety documentation. Ordering equipment. Physical and IT access rights. Benefits sign ups. Induction. Objective setting. Introductions to key personnel. Client and supplier introductions. Mobile phone allocations. Issuing employee handbooks and signing off on the receipt of key company policy documents etc., etc.
Going Overboard on Onboarding?
In some big companies I have seen the job title "OnBoarding Manager" or, wait for it, "Organisational Socialisation Manager".
But, in all seriousness, this process can be the difference of a new recruit becoming productive or leaving the business.
Be Excellent to each other
A company can spend vast amounts of money on recruitment. Whether you've invested that heavily or not, paying close attention to your onboarding process and the messaging it sends to new hires about how your company culture will benefit them during the time with you can increase your employee retention rates and lift productivity in your workplace.
Yes, you can automate onboarding to a huge extent by using Cloud HR systems like (*plug alert!) HRLocker.com or even onboard them directly from your recruitment software,
But, a simple list with a schedule for on-boarding, that's owned by the Hiring Manager and the employee can be very effective and a nice personal touch to show that you care and have all the relevant boxes ticked as you help someone into their new role.
So the next time you see the term "on boarding" you will now know what it means and you can speak in confidence on what it's about and its importance.

The organization of the European Women's Volleyball Championship is simply magnificent, I have no words, the President of the European Volleyball Confederation (CEV) Alexander Boricic told in an exclusive interview with Trend.
"We made it right that we entrusted the championship to two countries - Azerbaijan and Georgia, which is a very good experience for all other federations. For your information, the next European Championship will be held in four countries. Thus, we will further popularize volleyball, spectators in the stands will increase and accordingly, the popularity of women's volleyball will increase more and more in Europe", said Boricic.
Concerning the game of the Azerbaijani national team, the head of the European Confederation said that the team had a very good tournament and its game pleased all the fans. "The hall was full during the math of your team, I want to say special thanks to the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, who did not miss a single match of his team, supported it. I would like to thank the members of the government, the fans who supported the team throughout the tournament", added Boricic.
"You know, fourth place in Europe is not given to everyone, your team has overtaken such teams as Russia, former European champion, strong teams of Italy, Belgium, Germany, Bulgaria, Poland", said Alexander Boricic.
The president of the European Volleyball Confederation believes that it is necessary to develop youth volleyball in Azerbaijan , to conduct domestic championships and national championships. "For your information, we are working on a new strategy for developing volleyball in small towns now, and after the European Championships in Azerbaijan and Georgia we decided to open volleyball schools in Ganja and in Georgia," said Alexander Boricic.

The beauty of Google
Yes, Google is very much a part of our lives. We use it to search, listen to music online, find local discounts, download software for smartphones and tablets, and now search for convenient flight bookings. In the process, however, it has ruffled a few feathers.
The latest move
In Google's latest venture, the company used its undisputed dominance in Web-based searches by placing its own results for flight searches between two destinations, above other listings pointing to travel vendors like priceline.com
Frankly speaking, as far as ethical issues are concerned, if I were part of the Google think tank, I would probably be doing the same thing -- making the best use of my resources. Online travel is a $110 billion industry, and all flight searches are done chiefly through Google, with Microsoft's
How does it pay out?
So, how does Google exactly benefit from this listing move? First, it's positioning the links provided to airline sites as advertisements, although how much revenue is being derived from such a move is not yet known.
Second, it's the usual process of increasing site traffic and related advertising. And this is where the Facebook factor comes in, the single biggest challenge Google's facing these days.
You can't wish away Facebook
A recent Citi Investment Research study in September says it all. Facebook takes up about 16% of the time that Americans spend online, while it's somewhere around 11% for Google. An undisputed social networking king (where a lot of advertising revenue is flowing into) with major plans to launch a $10 billion IPO isn't good news for Google, and the Internet giant is doing all it can to beef up. Google tried a direct face-off with Google+, but it simply didn't take off, so this time it's playing the other way round.
The Foolish take
Google is still probably one of the best examples of how the Internet can be used as a tool by a company to gainfully infiltrate almost all aspects of an end-user's life. Its online flight search foray is just another pointer to Google's ability to constantly innovate while trying to open new lines of business. And this just covers domestic routes, with Google working on international ones in the near future.

Passing on a legacy
Guaranteed Annuity
The Retirement Account Guaranteed Annuity offers different ways to pass money on to your loved ones when you die. With the help of your adviser, you will usually select one or more of the following options (although it is not possible to choose both the Money-back guarantee and the Income Guarantee).
Money-back guarantee
This provides a lump sum on your death. The amount payable can be up to 100% of the amount you originally used to buy the Guaranteed Annuity, less all of the pension payments made to you at your date of death.
Dependant's income
You can ensure that a dependant (spouse, partner or other dependant) receives a proportion of your income for the rest of their life should you die before them. The amount paid could be up to 100% of your income.
Income Guarantee
You can choose to guarantee your annuity payments for up to 30 years. This means that in the event of your death, the annuity continues to be paid in full for the remainder of the Income Guarantee period.
Pension Drawdown / Pension Savings
In the event of your death, any remaining Pension Drawdown or Pension Savings funds will be made available to your loved ones. Because of the way The Retirement Account is structured your loved ones will have a great deal of flexibility in how they receive death benefits. This may prove useful if you die after the age of 75 in which case the benefits they receive are taxable.

Currently I am trying to put up this blog post and get through with it because I'm starting to feel like I'm really loosing it. I just want to be consistent with this thing but life seems to be getting in the way of things lately. However let it be known that I'm trying, I mean that's all I can do… keep trying.
Hey beautiful people, it's my first "life lately post" in every sense of it. It's one post that I really don't have to think too much in developing unlike other posts. So let's get to this!!!
FEELING: elated about what the future holds for me because I know I am at my least stage in life. It can only get better.
LOVING: This pair of rubber slips I just got recently. It's so perfect for this weather. I'm also loving this fabric I got from @nnekahofficial I'd be using it for my shift dress campaign of my clothing brand @ora_ocollective. Pls kindly follow if you are not. And then yes my loop earings. I'm gradually moving away from stud earrings and embracing the loop life. I have been wearing a lot lately and I'm loving them all.
CRAVING Hot sharwarma, it's been a while have had a taste of that and I'm sure it's gonna make my Sunday to have such snack in my mouth.
LISTENING to Juice by Ycee ft maleek berry and MaraDona by Niniola. I feel the Nigerian music industry is doing well for itself. Everyday I hear good number of quality music coming out of Nigerian musicians and of course you know my favorite is ycee. It looks like I play it more often than radio stations and clubs do
MAKING plans to unveil my brand in a small way. I'm kick starting with a shift dress campaign soon because I'm tired of waiting till I'm a pro and waiting till I have enough financial resources. Truth be told, we can actually start now, start from somewhere, start from little and along the way improve on whatever we have created as some sort of foundation. It's just best to have little and humble beginnings. It keeps us on track and tells us of the journey ahead
WISHING I have a lot of money right now to act out my ideas. There are a lot of things to be done with money but this money seems not to be coming my way.
DETERMINED to just do me regardless of what people feel or say. Lately, my mantra has been to do whatever I want to do with no care in the world. I'm also determined to let my inner child free and live my best life
WEARING this shift dress off my collection. I just love how free and comfy I am in my shift dress. It's something I can wear all day everyday
SO this has been my life lately. Would love to hear from you..How has life been for you lately??

KUC-MAD Concert Ukulele Mahogany - Natural (High Gloss)
Concert 23" Ukulele - 20 Frets
A concert ukulele is often the preferred size for professional ukulele players, giving a good depth of tone and strong projection, while maintaining the light mellow character the ukulele is best known for. With 20 frets and a 23 inch length, the Concert uke is the third smallest of the ukulele family, and is an perfect choice choice for a more advanced player looking for an instrument that can hold its own on stage. The use of quality tone woods including Indian Rosewood and Mahogany give the KUC-MAD great projection and tonal depth for an instrument of its size.
Ukulele Music
Traditionally associated with the pacific islands (Hawaii in particular), the Ukulele is a small nylon-stringed guitar-shaped instrument that has long been a feature of folk, traditional and pop music. Songs like "Tip-Toe Through The Tulips", "Ukulele Lady" and "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" have been recorded and performed many times using this wonderful, mellow toned instrument. So popular is the ukulele that many well known artists like Eddie Vedder, Mumford & Sons, and of course Kermit the Frog have all recorded tracks using it.
Ukuleles, like guitars, have tuning pegs on the headstock to adjust the string's tension. The difference is in the pitch of the strings, which are tensioned to G (high) C E A.
Included Case
All SWAMP KU Ukuleles come with a cotton-lined gig bag to protect your instrument on the move.
- Size: Concert
- Finish: Natural (High Gloss)
- Headstock: Rosewood
- Neck: Mahogany
- Top: Solid Mahogany
- Back & Sides: Solid Mahogany
- Fingerboard: Indian Rosewood

Kitten Is Rescued From Burning Home and Revived With Oxygen November 05 2014
Paramedic Kim Saunders and Smokey, the kitten she revived at the scene of a house fire.
Smokey the kitten appeared to be lifeless when a firefighter brought him out from his burning home in Nowra, NSW Australia last Friday night. Paramedic Kim Saunders brought him back with an oxygen mask.
Paramedic Saunders, of NSW Ambulance, used an oxygen mask meant for a baby on the six week old kitten after a firefighter searching the house heard distress sounds and found him lying under a bed. The kitten lost consciousness and went limp due to smoke inhalation by the time he was brought outside.
"The fire officer gave the kitten some rescue breaths before signalling to us and placing the kitten on the ground. He then ran back into the building," Paramedic Saunders is quoted saying in The South Coast Register.
"At first, we didn't know what to do. I thought, 'I'll give it some oxygen and see what happens'.
"So we put on a paediatric mask with some oxygen, dried the kitten off and wrapped him up.
"After about 15 minutes he came to and actually started purring.
"At one stage his head popped off the mask but he put it back in so he must have been enjoying it."
"We took the kitten over to [homeowner Marianne Hense, when she arrived home to find her kitten had been rescued from the fire]. You could still feel it purring through the towel. She gave it a little kiss," Paramedic Saunders said.
Paramedic Saunders told Ben Fordham in the radio interview we link to below that her paramedic training did not prepare her to treat animals on the job, but she has learned from her sister, who is a trained veterinary nurse.
"I don't care about anything inside the house, only that my cats were safe" Mrs Hense told the Daily Telegraph.

Not lose weight, but get in shape ready for my big day. Honestly, don't kill yourself trying to get into a particular dress size or down to a particular weight. Don't buy into that game. The best thing is to forget all that and concentrate on being fit and healthy. So eat better, sleep more and get off you bum a little more too!! Forget about that weight or that bit you don't like, your other half obviously loves you because they are about to say I do too!!
Live in the moment rather than the future.
Yeah sure you have the biggest day of your life coming up, but don't worry about it. No, I am serious, really don't worry about it. We worry all the time and it is such a waste of your energy. Nothing is ever solved or made better from worrying. Please remember why you are doing this and enjoy your time with your other half. That really is far more important than if you mums dress is going to clash with your colour scheme. (believe me my mums so clashed with my sisters and none cared - bless her)
Not use Facebook, twitter and instagram as my personal wedding journal. Use groups such as The White Room or start a blog instead. Your friends and family love you, but possibly don't want to only hear wedding, wedding ,wedding from your for the next.... many months. I mean why spoil all the surprises..
Not feel pressured to get creative (unless I am) in which case make something or everything to decorate your wedding venue. Making things can be very relaxing and actually take your mind off the big day even while you are preparing for it. If you are really not creative, rope in your family or a couple of friends to help, while you make the coffee or pour the wine.
and that leads me perfectly on to...
Learn to delegate. I mentioned earlier that your friends and family love you right, so what would make them happy and take some pressure off you? Yup you got it. Get them involved let them help out. If they have a certain skill utilise it. We all love helping others it makes us feel good about ourselves.
Not be a bridezilla. AKA bit of a nutter. I have yet to meet a bridezilla and I think that the term comes when you are getting stressed out and none understands the pressure you have put yourself on to make this fairy tale perfect day. Believe me nothing is ever perfect but the imperfections are actually the bits that make it so fantastic. So keep those frustrations and chuck them in the bin. Your partner is marrying you not the crazy lady and your mum just wants what is best for you.
Relax and employ my sense of humour even if it feels like the sky is about to cave in. It's time for a bit of positive mental attitude and a half glass full approach. Don't get bogged down in the details if you forgot something you probably didn't need it in the first place. You don't have to have anything you have seen in the glossy mags, you don't have to compete with anyone else, you just have to start your new journey into a positive and bright future. And remember....
Do any past brides or grooms have any advice for this years couples? If you have please share below x

Did you car fail it's DEQ testing? Whether they supplied you with codes or not, we can help. Even with codes, the same code on two different cars does not always mean the same part is failing. A code lets us know which system the problem is in, but not exactly what is causing the issue.
That is where the expertise of a good mechanic comes into play. Sure, you can guess and replace a part or two. Sometimes you guessed right and it fixes the problem. However if the guess was wrong, it could get very expensive, very fast just replacing parts willie nillie hoping to get the right one.
In some cases, it's not a part that is causing the problem, but a bad wire, or corrosion of a connection. Just a little cleaning or a repair of a wire fixes the whole thing.
Let us diagnose the problem and get you back on the road. We guarantee our work, and back it up with a warranty. Call today to set up your appointment. We look forward to seeing you.

James P. writes: My children gave me a tillandsia plant for Christmas. It came with directions but I would appreciate some additional information about this "odd" little plant. Thanks.
Tillandsia, commonly referred to as an air plant, is of the Bromeliaceae family. This "odd" plant is part of a genus of 650 species of evergreen flowering plants. There are familiar species such as epiphytes that can grow without soil while attached to other plants and there are aerophytes, air plants, that have no roots and can grow on shifting desert soil. Most species absorb moisture through their leaves and I suspect you have been given directions on how to care for your plant by misting it with water a few times a week.
Tillandsia is an amazing and diverse plant that can thrive in mountainous areas, deserts, in rain forests, in tropical regions of the world and in your case as a fascinating houseplant specimen. As gardeners, most have not tried growing them, but now as we learn more about tillandsia, how to care for them, ease in growing, their increasing popularity and availability; why not give them a try?
Here are some tips on growing tillandsia indoors successfully:
Maintain them by paying special attention to their needs such as light, water and air circulation.
Light requirements should be bright but filtered in April through October. Direct summer light will burn them. Direct sun exposure November through March is okay. They should be placed no further than 3 feet from a window.
Fresh moving air is always important.
Water, or thoroughly wet your tillandsia two-to-three times a week and perhaps less often if your house is kept cooler. If the plant has enough light and air circulation, they should be allowed to dry out within four hours after watering. Many directions recommend misting, and that method will have to be more often depending on how the air plant is displayed in your home and available humidity. Like any plant,
Pay attention to its environment and adjust its needs accordingly. A word of caution: if your air plant is growing inside an open glass container (shell), empty the water out after watering. Tillandsia will not survive in standing water.
Optimum indoor temperature should be 50 to 90 degrees.
Air plants are available for sale locally in nurseries such as Prickett's, gift shops, specialty stores such as Urban Garden, Walmart and even online.
There is an abundance of information available from Tillandsia International (airplant.com) that boasts to be the largest air plant grower in North America. It is our source for the basic information we shared. Due to the extent of this family however, genus and species, it is worth exploring in-depth if you're interested.
Edward asks: I want to try freezing seeds as an experiment. What is the ideal temperature for collected seeds to continue to be viable for a long period of time?
The ideal temperature for maximum storage length should be no warmer than zero degrees. If you have a home freezer, check the lowest temperature to confirm it will maintain zero degrees.
An excellent source of free information is the International Seed Saving Institute.

Sonnet Viii: What Can I Give Thee Back - Poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
What can I give thee back, O liberal
And princely giver, who hast brought the gold
And purple of thine heart, unstained, untold,
And laid them on the outside of the wall
For such as I to take or leave withal,
In unexpected largesse? am I cold,
Ungrateful, that for these most manifold
High gifts, I render nothing back at all?
Not so; not cold,--but very poor instead.
Ask God who knows. For frequent tears have run
The colours from my life, and left so dead
And pale a stuff, it were not fitly done
To give the same as pillow to thy head.
Go farther! let it serve to trample on.

(AP) Jurors in Edwards trial to deliberate for 5th day
By MICHAEL BIESECKER
Associated Press
As jurors in the John Edwards campaign corruption trial get set for a fifth day of deliberations, legal experts caution it's still too early to read too much into their discussions.
While the former presidential candidate, the media and court observers look for clues to what the jury is thinking, legal experts said it's early in such a complex case to read too much into jurors' body language, dress and demeanor. Even speculating on why they have asked questions about one particular wealthy donor may be going too far.
Edwards is charged with six felony counts related to campaign finance violations. If convicted on all counts, Edwards faces a maximum sentence of up to 30 years in prison, though legal experts predict a term of less than five years would be more likely.
To convict Edwards, U.S. District Court Judge Catherine C. Eagles instructed the jurors they must conclude beyond a reasonable doubt not only that the candidate knew about the secret payments made on his behalf, but he knew the cover up was illegal and that he went ahead anyway. Even legal experts with detailed knowledge of federal campaign finance rules are split on whether Edwards violated the law.
Hampton Dellinger, a Raleigh lawyer who has attended the trial, said the longer the jury goes without reaching a verdict, the more likely they are to deadlock on some or all of the charges.
If the jury does eventually signal to Eagles they are deadlocked, the judge is likely to read them an Allen Charge that encourages them to reconsider their positions and deliberate further.
Friedland cautioned that even a week of deliberation is not uncalled for in such a lengthy and complex case.
Shortly after starting their deliberations Friday, jurors in the Edwards case asked for office supplies and a stack of trial exhibits that included copies of handwritten notes from the 101-year-old heiress Rachel "Bunny" Mellon, one of two wealthy political donors who provided the nearly $1 million used to help hide the Democrat's pregnant mistress as he sought the White House in 2008.
During the nearly four weeks of testimony, the federal courtroom in downtown Greensboro was packed with local retirees and other spectators wanting to catch a glimpse of the fallen political star.
The crowd has since thinned. Most of those left are the dozens of news reporters waiting on the jury's decision. Outside the courthouse front doors, a tent city is erected each morning by the photographers and television cameramen who capture the daily ritual of Edwards, his parents and his eldest daughter arriving and leaving each day.
In between, members of the news media lounge in camping chairs, check email and speculate.
The fact the jury foreman was wearing blue jeans Wednesday was interpreted to mean a decision was still at least a day away. People dress up more when they think they might be photographed, it was suggested.
The jurors deliberate in a windowless conference room, their privacy protected by U.S. Marshals. Their lunch is catered inside.
The group of eight men and four women mostly come from middle-class backgrounds, including a retired fireman, a special education teacher, a plumber, a retired railroad engineer and two mechanics. There are also jurors with strong financial acumen, including a corporate vice president and a retired accountant.
During jury selection, one juror recounted handing out pamphlets supporting Democratic President Barack Obama in 2008, while another said he had put out yard signs over the years supporting Republican candidates.

I posted recently about finding my character's voice - literally - by casting an actor in the role of the character. Glad to see I am not the only one who employs that method. :)ReplyDelete
I'm not a particularly visual person, so when it came to creating my characters, the major criticism I got from readers was that they couldn't "see" my characters' faces. They couldn't see them because I couldn't see them. I like your technique of using actors to help you visualize your characters. I've taken this technique down a slightly different path. I visit the websites of photographers who take head shots and casting websites for models. It's a great tool. You can enter age, ethnicity, hair color and other characteristics into their search engines and, viola, a picture of my character magically appears.ReplyDelete
Glad to see I'm not alone in my method. Thanks for the comments.ReplyDelete

One of my favorite songs in recent memory is "Up On A Mountain" by The Welcome Wagon. It's a nice portrait of Christ's last night in Gethsemane when he goes to pray before he is betrayed by Judas Iscariot. He asks his most trusted apostles to come pray with him, and they can't stay awake. You can read the full account here.
Not long ago we were listening to it, and my wife pointed out the line, "Up on a mountain our LORD is afraid." She thought it odd to think of Jesus as being afraid, but he was. He begged God to find another way, and yet he ultimately submitted to the will of the Father.
It's a beautiful, tragic image of Jesus that I find comforting and inspiring in so many ways. But I think what strikes me the most is the image of Jesus Christ begging and pleading with God late at night for things to be different. He begs for comfort in the midst of fear. Anyone who has struggled with depression knows what that is like. [I should note that in Luke's version of the story, God sent an angel from heaven to strengthen him. He was not alone, even if he felt like it.]
It is Christ at his most human - he is vulnerable. The creator of the universe, the savior of the world, became man - and he was afraid. And I can relate to him. I can connect to him. And he can empathize with me because he has been afraid. He has faced the darkness. He has felt alone.
I think it's a sobering [and hopeful] image to reflect on this Maundy Thursday evening.
A Prayer For Maundy Thursday
Lord, we are afraid. We strive to find light, but all we see is darkness. We feel as if hope is dead. Send us your spirit to strengthen us. You are God who has known fear, and we pray for your empathy and your strength.
Lord, in your mercy
Hear our prayer
"Up On A Mountain"
Words and Music: Vito Aiuto
© New Jerusalem Music/ASCAP
Up on a mountain our LORD is alone
Without a family, friends, or a home
He cries – ohhh, ohhh, ohhh –
Will you stay with me?
He cries – ohhh, ohhh, ohhh –
Will you wait with me?
Up on a mountain our LORD is afraid
Carrying all the mistakes we have made
And he knew – ohh, ohh, ohh – it's a long way down
Do you know – ohh, ohhh – he came all the way down
Up in the heavens our LORD prays for you
He sent his Spirit to carry us through
So its true – ohhh, ohhh – that you're not alone.

Predictive Validity of the Graduate Record Aptitude Test.
Stordahl, Kalmer E.
The purpose of this study was to assess the validity of the Verbal Ability and Quantitative Ability scores of the Graduate Record Aptitude Test (GRE-V, GRE-Q) and undergraduate grade point average (GPA) as predictors of graduate grade point average in the Master of Arts degree program at Northern Michigan University. The subjects were 120 students who had completed the GRE between 1967 and 1970 and had completed eight hours or more of graduate work. The findings indicated that the undergraduate GPA was the best single predictor of graduate academic performance. The addition of GRE scores to undergraduate GPA in an optimally weighted equation did not add significantly to the predicion of the graduate GPA, although the GRE-V was found to be significantly correlated with graduate GPA when used independently of undergraduate GPA.

Six members of a family have been jailed for what one detective described as one of the most harrowing domestic abuse cases he had ever seen.
Shahena Uddin, 19, died after being severely beaten at the family home in Watford, on the outskirts of London. The court heard how she had been force-fed, slapped, beaten and often banned from drinking or using the toilet.
She was also made to lick a dirty toilet seat, drink toilet water and eat her own vomit as a punishment.
The International Business Times says the abuse was only discovered when Shahena's family found her lying unconscious on the bathroom floor October last year and called paramedics, telling them she had not felt well and collapsed. She was already dead when she arrived at hospital, however.
Medics noticed severe bruising on her body and contacted the police.
Salma Begum, 33, who was Ms Uddin's sister-in-law, was found guilty of murder and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. She was sentenced to life imprisonment and will spend at least 18 years behind bars before she can be considered for parole.
Five of Ms Uddin's siblings — Suhail Uddin, 35 (Salma's husband), Jhuhal Uddin, 33, Jewel Uddin, 27, Tohel Uddin, 24, and Rehena Uddin, 22 — were found guilty of causing or allowing the death of a vulnerable adult and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
Shahena left a number of letters, which were read out in court, that reveal the extent of the abuse she suffered.
Detective Inspector Fraser Wylie said: "Shahena Uddin suffered unimaginable abuse both physically and mentally which was tantamount to torture. The letters read out in court paint a picture of a young woman who was trapped in a life of unbearable misery."
"To think that a young woman in Watford in the 21st century was subjected to such cruelty in a place where she was supposed to feel safe and loved is incomprehensible an there are no words to fully portray the inhumane cruelty she was subjected to," he added." Shahena's death must not be in vain."

Hunter Road Force Balance Service
At R&M Auto Services Inc. we use the most sophisticated balancer currently available, the Hunter Road Force Tire Balancer. The road force balancing machine allows for a more in depth and accurate tire balance. The equipment accomplishes this by not only measuring the weight of the tire and rim for weighted balance, but also measures the individual weight of the tire and the wheel allowing for a more accurate base balance before weights are even added.
Extremely Accurate Tire Balance
This Process ensures that the tire is more accurately balanced for being under load of carrying the vehicles weight. The Road Force Balancer also measures the tires conicity in order to designate more accurate tire placement on vehicle to reduce or eliminate tire pull on your vehicle.
All-Wheel Drive Vehicles
Road force balancing is critical if you own an All-Wheel Drive vehicle. The in depth measurements make sure your tires are properly placed. Make sure you treat your car right with a Road Force Tire Balance Today.
Consistent Results
The Hunter Road Force Balancer is the most accurate and reliable tool for proper tire balancing that gives your vehicle the "like new" tire feel. If you have had to make a return trip to your tire shop because of vibration issues come see our team at R&M Auto Services Inc. in Mt.

Infant Program: Overview
Our infant program offers families care for their children in very distinct ways as we recognize that each infant needs a primary relationship with their educator when their family is not with them. The close proximity to the educators, the consistent and predictable practices, and the anticipation of needs met, allows our infants to calmly and independently play throughout their day.
When we offer infants opportunities to play without interruption and direction yet in the educator's presence we recognize that infants become creative, self-motivated, and curious learners from their first months. In the first years, physical development is a paramount skill to master so infants are offered maximum freedom to move in their indoor and outdoor play spaces.

A young Pakistani man is chasing corporate success on Wall Street.
Quite successful in his work, he one day finds out that his services are no longer required.
And all this is because he belonged to a certain religion. His name itself causes stirs, when uttered aloud.
On the backdrop of 9/11 attacks, he finds himself embroiled in a conflict between his American Dream, a hostage crisis and the enduring call of his family's homeland.
A different view to that conceived by millions on Islamic followers post 9/11 attacks in America, well presented by Ace director, Mira Nair!

4 Apps to Begin Investing from Your Smartphone
4 Apps to Begin Investing from Your Smartphone
You can do anything on your phone these days, so it shouldn't surprise you that investment apps are changing the way people invest and save money. Already, people have invested hundreds of millions of dollars through their smartphones. People of all levels of financial acumen are using these apps, from Harvard Business grads to landscape architects. And you don't need a hedge fund manager's bank account to get started. Most are free and don't take commissions, so you no longer have an excuse to keep your savings in your mattress.
Apps may be a great diversion while you wait at the DMV, letting you explore mythical realms or look at what your friend had for lunch, but your smartphone can be a valuable investment tool. Here are some of the best financial apps that will forever change how you spend your lunch breaks.
- Acorns
Acorns is the most popular investment app amongst millennials. It's 600,000 members have already saved $25 million. That's a lot of acorns. For young people that are usually gun shy around investing, the helpful interface makes it easy to save small change from debit card or credit card purchases. Acorns rounds up your spare change to the next dollar, and once you save $5, it invests it in a personalized stock portfolio. You answer questions that determine your investment goals and risk preferences, and the app will provide a portfolio for you.
- Robin Hood
Robin Hood is a zero-commission smartphone app. But how do they make money? Robin Hood makes money on the money you have on deposit and if you borrow to trade. Borrowing money to trade, or "buying on margin", works out great for many, but be careful. Think of it as gambling and using your car as collateral.
- Stash
Stash is another ETF (exchange-traded fund). That means it owns underlying assets, (like stocks, bonds, oil futures, gold) and divides ownership of those assets into shares. For only $5, you can buy a fraction of a share and watch how the fund performs. Stash makes its money by charging $1 a month for balances under $5,000. So if you truly are a small investor, your money will get eaten up pretty quickly. But it's a quick and easy introduction to the stock market, so when you're ready, you can move on to more advanced trading.
- eToro
eToro's most popular feature is trade copying. As the name implies, trade copying automatically copies the trades of someone else. So even if you know nothing about market forces, your portfolio will perform like you do! You can start off with a $10,000 demo account to practice while you learn the interface, and eventually people will be copying your expert trades.
Whatever your level of financial expertise or income, you can begin investing. Knowledge is power when it comes to money. For other questions about credit, homeownership, and avoiding foreclosure, United Financial Counselors can help. They aren't available on your smartphone, but host frequent seminars and are available by phone or in-person. Whether it's using an app to trade stocks, or talking to an expert about homeownership, the tools to take control of your financial future are close at hand.

Impact of the mainland press industry on the Taiwan press industry Compared to the mainland punch tool industry girth welding machine, Taiwan's punch tool industry has been leading the development. As early as 1994, Taiwan has entered the ranks of the world's top ten punch press exports, and has maintained a good momentum of development. The Taiwan press tool industry is clearly the development of close ties with the mainland market. With the mainland market demand for punch tools and the level of demand for products to enhance synchronization, the Taiwan press industry is also increasing emphasis on the mainland market. China Punch Tools Industry Association executive vice president Wu Bolin said that in some preferential policies will be very conducive to consolidate Taiwan's punch in the mainland market position on the mainland punch products will inevitably have an impact and impact Busbar Processing Machine, but there is a trend But can not be changed, is the product of the mainland and Taiwan punch punch product gap is shrinking, or both the power of the game quietly changing.
At present, the global CNC punch market is divided into several camps. Switzerland and Germany are in the first echelon, Japan is in the second echelon, the United States is in the third tier, China Taiwan is in the fourth tier, And Taiwan's technical level of the punch is the least difference. Taiwan punch industry organizations have three characteristics, one is not the basic production of low-grade products, CNC punch is also basically do not do economic type; Second, do not have large-size, heavy-duty production capacity; third is the rapid development of functional components industry, the full range. In recent years, the development trend shows that the development of the mainland press industry faster than the Taiwan punch industry, but the functional parts industry to be excluded. It is precisely because of this advantage, only to promote the mainland in recent years, the rapid increase in the level of punch products, a great catch up with the momentum of Taiwan punch products busbar shearing machine. This narrowing of the gap, so that the mainland punch products on Taiwan punch produced no small impact. But in the mid-range punch product competition, can not ignore the strength of Taiwan's punch. In fact, in the future market of the game, the quality will be a very important part of the competition.

Philosophy and Approach
Beginning at the end of the chain..
IF looks with the families at what is needed to improve their life and how the local health system has to be improved, so that their children can reach their full potential. The advantage is that all input is used to benefit the target group directly. A realistic view of their problems is described in terms of: - where have successes been achieved? - what went wrong? - why? - what can IF do to improve the local situation? Beginning at the end of the chain, IF's International Solidarity program empowers the families and contributes to the improvement of the entire health care system. From bottom to top; from daily care to research and prevention; from CBR to neuro-paediatrics.
IF's International Solidarity program does not set up or fund a complete healthcare system for the target group but improves and empowers the existing potential. The main input is empowering support groups, training of the existing staff at all levels and sharing information and expertise. Directly and indirectly this has a positive influence on the entire care system of a region. A health system that learns to take care of people with Spina Bifida and/or Hydrocephalus is at the same time developing the capacity to solve many other medical problems.
Expertise is being improved by responding to input from parents, professionals and the persons with Spina Bifida and/or Hydrocephalus themselves. Exchange of knowledge between the different projects is the most effective and the best cost- benefit approach. Permanent feedback from 'the end of the chain' is the main drive, guide and motor.
The objectives of IF's International Solidarity program:
To improve quality of and access to medical and lifelong care
To increase awareness and knowledge on SBH
To improve owner- & leadership of people with SBH and their caretakers
To increase preventive measures
The overall strategy to reach these goals is to complement the existing efforts, by building on what has already been achieved by parents and existing service delivery systems.
Target groups of the project:
Children, youth and adults with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus
(primary) caretakers of people with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus: parents/family
Caretakers of people with Spina Bifida: professionals
SHIP - Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Interdisciplinary Program
SHIP General Presentation | SHIP Passport Girls | SHIP Passport Boys
Framework Hospital | Framework CBR | Framework PSG

CURE Hydrocephalus Surgeon training program
With the aim to eliminate untreated hydrocephalus and its preventable causes, the CH Surgeon Training Program was set up as a partnership between IF, CURE International and the Karl Storz Company (Storz). It is designed to utilize the expertise derived from continuing research from the efforts at CURE International Children's Hospital of Uganda (CURE Uganda) and its sister facilities, including CURE Zambia. The program trains and equips surgeons responsible for treating Hydrocephalus in developing countries.
In that practice context, shunt-dependence is more dangerous for children with Hydrocephalus because of the high probability of shunt malfunctions that require urgent attention and emergency treatment. Unlike more developed countries where the existing economy, infrastructure, and health care system can more readily support the emergency maintenance required for patients who are shunt-dependent, the lives of such children in less developed countries are threatened because of the lack of prompt access to proper neurosurgical care.
Since its opening in 2000, the CURE Uganda hospital in Mbale, Uganda, has demonstrated that, in the setting of an emerging country, more than half of all children with hydrocephalus can be adequately treated using endoscopic methods, and the likelihood of success can be determined in advance. In young infants, our experience was similar to that of others, in that ETV alone was not effective in avoiding shunt dependency for the majority. But we demonstrated that choroid plexus cauterization in combination with endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV/CPC) was significantly more effective than ETV alone. The ETV/CPC technique requires the use of a flexible fiberoptic endoscope in order to access the choroid plexus throughout both lateral ventricles.
The CURE International facilities in Uganda and Zambia (and soon elsewhere) provide the high volume of patients necessary to master these techniques in a relatively short time. In two or three months, a trainee can expect hands-on training in 50 to 100 ETV/CPC procedures. Serving as Sr. Medical Director for CH, Professor Dr. Benjamin C. Warf directs the training and research efforts. Dr. Warf developed the ETV/CPC technique and the methodology for its most effective use while serving as medical director for CURE Uganda for over six years. For surgeons from less developed countries, CURE International, IF and Storz will work with the trainee to acquire funding to help support their training as well as to help provide the necessary endoscopy equipment for their home institution.
The goal of the CH Surgeon Training Program is to develop a network of surgeons and hospitals throughout the world that are competent to offer this treatment option and thus avoid as much as possible the dangerous problem of shunt-dependence, especially for children in economically depressed regions. As part of this effort, each CH trained surgeon participates in supplying information to the CH database in order to expand the body of knowledge to improve on our ability to treat and prevent this common condition.
