dear Wildfairy, welcome to the site. The switch to suboxone from methadone is the trickiest, and although you have not taken any for 101 hrs, you still were on a pretty high dose of methadone, that makes it trickier. To reach Robertunderscore325, and that should be an actual underscore instead of the word, don't know how to find that key on my Ipad, look at the top of the page, uner the blue banner with clickable tabs under the drugs.com logo, on the right, right under the blue banner, should be a text prompt for forum/discussion board, click that, and start a thread to robert there, he answers quicker on that side of this site. My suggestion is this, whether you have the pills or films, cut one into fourths, this will be four 2 mg pieces. The normal way to induct a methadone patient is for them to have been tapered too 30 mgs or less of methadone, then wait 72 hours, then start with subutex.
Not trying to be insensitive here, but your dr had no business giving you the suboxone to start on your own, he or she is supposed to give you the first few dose in their office. You should have been evaluated, all info explained to you, your vitals would have also been taken several times and you should have been given subutex. That being said, place ONE 2 mg piece under your tongue, it may take a while for it to dissolve, but be patient, you can take a sip or 2 of water if your mouths is really dry, but do NOT swallow the suboxone piece, keep it under your tongue until it completely dissolves. You may start to feel relief in as little as 20 to 45 minutes, IF you feel worse after a few minutes up to 2 hours after you have dissolved the piece, DO NOT take anymore for 8 to 12 more hours, to avoid very bad precipitated withdrawal. If you feel better, and feel the wd coming back slowly after a couple of hours, you can try 2 to 4 more mgs. The key is if your feel markedly worse after the subs, instead of just possibly not getting quite enough relief, you are likely in precip since there still is methadone in the brain. I you get some relief, guage how you feel at the 2 hour mark, if there is MINOR wd, take 2 to 4 mgs more. This is such a tough post here as you have not been on methadone for a long time, but still the level you were at normally is too high to start subs. Please seek robert also, just giving you what info i know, in case you can't get robert today. Let us know how you are, update us please, best of luck, my prayers are with you, pattishan61
Thank you for commenting on my post, i still have not tryed the suboxone yet, still really scared, the dr brought me in last thursday and talked to me for about an hour and a half, and then wrote me the script, i asked him several times about the suboxone and when i should take it, but he kept reasuring me that i would be fine taking it on the first sign of withdrawls.. so yes i am a little concerned... just wish i new what to do.. plus not real sure why im not in bad withdrawls yet either, i mean its been pretty much 5 days with out anything. just seems impossible conserding i would get withdrawls within a day of not having any pain pills... right now i have had a headach from hell all day and night and nothing seems to take it away, my heart is pretty fast and fluttery, and im in so much pain in my back and legs, but thats about it for now... any help would be great... ive heard of someone that was on 70mg of methadone and started the suboxone 2 and a half days later and ways fine didnt get sick from it, so i dont no...
The reason yours post is kinda hard to answer is because you weren't on methadone a long time. Methadone and suboxone are both LONG acting, tht is why you aren't in worse withdrawal, you still have some methadone in the brain. Each person is different and metabolizes differently, but methadone embeds in the fat layers, the brain is mainly fat. Also, suboxone, benzos and pot embed in fat layers, that is why people test positive for those drugs longer than coke or crack. You are wise to wait, as long as yoy can stand it. It still was pretty irresponsible of your dr to just give you the rx, especially after you were on methadone. Honestly, a good subs dr would have done alot more for you. While you still feel pretty decent, get some gatorade, some advil and hang in there. You can always take more suboxone, but if you were to go into precip, you should feel it even on 2 mgs, but it won't be as bad or last as long. Please keep updating us. Saying a prayer for ya! Patti
hello, i wanted to ask you a question, for starters i started the suboxone yesterday, i managed to only use one 8mg pill, but dealt with some slit w/d and now i am on day 2 and im not sure what is goin on but i didnt sleep at all last night tryed and couldnt do it, at 7am this morning i had diarrhea and still do, whats going on, i mean i feel a little better but the way everyone says i should be feeling, i cant eat im hungry but when i try to eat i feel sick and cant... my dr prescribed me 2 pills a day today i have taken 1 and a quarter piece, and still am not feeling up to par, not sure if i should take more... how long does this stuff take to get completly in your system before you start feeling better??? i dont want to go back on the methadone, but im so run down, and tired and depressed and just dont no what to do with my self at this point... any help would be great!!!
Dear Wildfairy, the depression is likely caused from coming off the methdadone and it can take weeks to be completely out of the body. There is also an adjustment phase when switching to subs, even from short acting opiates, but coming from methadone, it is longer and bumpier, so sorry. I couldn't eat at first, i found eating foods that were light, like fruit, yogurt, cereal, were easier. I couldn't eat anything that was too hot or too cold, almost needed lukewarm or just chilled barely food, maybe thqt will help. Please make sure you have some gatorade to sip on here and there. Please call your dr and report the depression. I think the suboxone kept you up, try not to take it past 3 pm, and that might also help. Buddy1971, is likely going to be the better person to ask about your switch, but i don't think i am out of the ballpark with my answer.
He has had a similar experience and i hope he will see this, but you could also friend him and ask him a private question, or wait to see if he answers again. I am sorry you feel bad, please call your dr and report all symptoms, as he may can give you something for the depression, the nausea and diarrhea. I did have the depression, but no nausea or diarrhea while transitioning. Hope you feel better. Don't be afraid to call your dr, y'all are working together to get you better, don't leave the dr out of the equation, he may can give you some Zofran and a low dose of antidepressant and possibly some encourgement. Thank you for updating. Patti
I couldn't say it any better than Pati did. I took some suboxen after methadone without being sick enough but I was even more ignorant at the time about it & took an 8mg sobo & got pretty sick but it did kinda break like a fever after a # of hrs. & was able to take it daily after that at 8mg a day,but could have got by on 1/2 that. It like the narcan wiped my opiate receptors & then I was fine taking suboxone from then on,but I was on a lot less methadone & was just trying to get to next scrip. Just my experience hope it gives you some insight.
I feel so bad you had to suffer that Buddy, but i am so glad you always tell the truth. I live in LA, that is Bama speak for lower Alabama, and i swear we actually have some great subs drs here. There was a guy who attended his first drs appointment for subs the same day i did, he had been illegally taking methadone, and i was really on a relatively low dose of lortab or percs. I met him at group thqt night, he was fine, i had a bad esperience the second dose, but not precip, i had a weird and rare side effect or sensory illusions, my sense of touch was way off, and i had one long panic attqck that day, but i went to group anyway that night. Everyone else was fine, and i know now i was way over medicated, but not to where it hurt me, i just had to take half the dose in the morning qnd half in the afternoon. If i had know then what i know now, i could have avoided that possibly, but, my dr did explain that that feeling would stop and called to check on me later.
He actually gave all suboxone patients his phone number. I hope everything goes ok for her. Thank you for posting this Buddy! Patti
Yeah,the stuff has some weird side-effects like vivid dreams (which I also get when I'm 1/2 ass sick?) but I found the same 2mg in the morn. & 2mg @ night worked fine. I still call it the anti-drug but I could see being on that rather than methadone. It does seem to work faster in the morning that was nice. Thanks for the comment.
wildfairy74. I'll just share my experience. I was taking methadone for two years, 40mg. but not every day, usually 2-3 times a week. I started on 2mgs of suboxone at a time after 48 hours and had no problem. A doctor at a clinic told me, on another occasion, to wait 48 hours but either way your are in withdrawals which is when you are suppose to begin taking suboxone. You don't have to wait to be vomiting and convulsing or in some horrible state of withdrawals to start the medication. I don't think you have anything to worry about after the time you have waited and the fact that you are in withdrawals. Just start with 2mgs and increase 2mgs at a time as needed. Your body will let you know how much you need. You don't have to keep suffering, in fact, it's not good to go in to serious, methadone withdrawals. Take care,

UN to US: ōStop Promoting Democracy!ö
WaPo–U.S. Troops' Role in Iraqi Elections Criticized
The United Nations' top elections official, Carina Perelli, sharply criticized U.S. military forces in Iraq Wednesday for distributing material urging Iraqis to vote in the country's elections Sunday.
Perelli and other U.N. officials are concerned that such U.S. military involvement is compromising efforts to convince the Iraqi public that Iraqis are directing the elections.
Perelli said she and the top U.N. election official in Iraq, Carlos Valenzuela, have been "asking, begging military commanders" to stop the distribution of material promoting the elections. Officials from the U.N.-backed Iraqi Electoral Commission have also asked the United States to stop, she said.
"The U.S. military have been extremely, I would say, overenthusiastic in trying to help out with this election," she told reporters. "And we have been basically saying that they should try to minimize their participation, because this is an Iraqi process."
Given the stellar efforts of the UN at…highlighting the stellar efforts of the UN, such meaningless turf wars are not surprising coming from the UN. After all, if the UN canÆt adequately provide aid to tsunami victims, oversee elections, inform voters, and basically do its job¢then their only option is to bitch and moan at the US for doing the UNÆs job and doing it better.
On a more coherent note, does this REALLY call into the question the Iraqi role in the elections? Is the notion that the US has a vested interest in a viable election remotely surprising or even controversial? Unless troops are promoting specific political parties, then they are doing nothing at all objectionable.
US troops have far more contact with Iraqis than do UN officials. And only an idiot/UN official/reporter would think that Iraqis donÆt realize that the US wants elections to be viewed as legitimate and accordingly, would try to get people to participate. ThatÆs kind of assumed in the whole reason why weÆre over there. As soon as the UN even HAS a get-out-the-vote effort, then weÆll talk. Until then, all the UN will do is talk.

In an article written for The Player's Tribune, WWE superstar Dolph Ziggler wrote about his Top 5 favorite finishing moves of all time. Randy's infamous RKO was among the list, read below to see what Dolph had to say:
The RKO
This list wouldn't feel complete without the RKO. It's a great finisher and I've taken a few of them. There's something just special about Randy's athleticism. He so good at what I'm trying to accomplish that it makes me mad. He has a way of doing something incredibly difficult, while having a look on his face that says I'm thinking about Disneyland right now but I'm still wrestling better than you ever can.
So the RKO is kind of perfect for him because it's a difficult looking move to pull off that he's made stand out through art, showmanship and impact. He has many well-documented snake attributes, but he's also so smooth in the ring that it adds a lot to the RKO. And like a lot of these great finishers, it comes out of nowhere. Like I'm pretty sure he even sells a shirt that says "Out of Nowhere" on it.

WWE superstar Randy Orton's next match will be against Ryan Phillippe on Shooter.
Orton, who is currently away from wrestling due to an injury, will guest-star on an episode of the new USA series. The former WWE Champion will play James Richards, an ex-Navy SEAL who now leads the militia group Tree of Liberty. An investigation by Bobby Lee Swagger (Phillippe) exposes Richards as something other than the patriot he appears to be.

For a match that had to juggle intra-Authority squabbling, personal rivalries reaching their, ahem, "Apex," and the first official instance of The Shield against itself, it kept each ball in the air with a mix of intrigue (will Kane screw Seth over?), surprises (Dean vs. Roman!) and, ultimately, satisfaction (Seth retains!). Plus, we got a Shield mini-reunion, if only to Triple Powerbomb Orton through a table. Was it a tease for their eventual reformation way, way down the line? Hard to fathom.

Telling a tale about the motivations and reckless nature of a man who earned the moniker The Viper, Rev Theory's "Voices" melodically cuts as deep and strikes just as hard as Randy Orton himself.
The words detail what makes a predator tick, depicting a realm of wicked thoughts coiling throughout his brain. There's a discussion and exchange encouraging malevolence and bloodlust. It's the story of a relentless madman, but set to a super-catchy, albeit "screamo" refrain that gives way to badass rock. Plus, it makes one hell of a soundtrack for a beat-timed RKO video compilation

Motörhead is known for their hard-hitting heavy metal anthems, so it was a little surprising to see Lemmy belting out a slower tune for Evolution. With many people seeing Triple H and his crew of Randy Orton, Batista and Ric Flair as a modern twist on The Four Horsemen, Evolution needed a tune that exuded cool and confidence.
Lemmy and his band had no problem cranking out a song that was beyond cool while still retaining Motörhead's trademark edge. If you close your eyes and listen to "Line in the Sand," you can probably picture four suave bros getting out of a helicopter and into a limo to go party at the hottest club in the city.

"As a kid, I used to love when my dad took me on his job sites.
"Seeing a piece of machinery come to life, or a building light up for the first time always piqued my interest. When it came time to decide what I wanted to do after high school, I couldn't pass up the great opportunity I had in front of me with an established company that one day I would run on my own with my dad there to teach me the trade. It was a no brainer.
"While my friends went off to college, I worked for my dad's company during the day and went to trade school at night and received my electrical license. Fast forward 15 years, I have a very rewarding career, and run a small crew for the family business on everything from high-end homes to industrial factories. I help people solve their problems, build their dream homes, and keep their businesses running. I really feel like I'm making a difference in my own small way."

Seed Collection
Join Us for Buckeyes for Butterflies on Nov. 5th
Book Passage: Mary Ellen Hannibal's Citizen Scientist
Please join us at Book Passage in the Corte Madera on Sunday, December 18th at 1pm for Mary Ellen Hannibal's talk on her book Citizen Scientist: Searching for Heroes and Hope in an Age of Extinction. Recently, Mary Ellen Hannibal identified SPAWN as a leading citizen science group in her talk on KQED Radio! SPAWN is co-sponsoring the event, and will be speaking about our work with attendees.
Where: Book Passage (Corte Madera), 51 Tamal Vista Blvd., Corte Madera, CA 94925
What: An author talk by Mary Ellen Hannibal about her newest book, Citizen Scientist.
When: Sunday, December 18th at 1 pm
Why: To celebrate citizen scientists and hear directly from Mary Ellen Hannibal.
Background on the Book: In the vein of H Is for Hawk and the work of Rebecca Solnit and Elizabeth Kolbert comes a masterful consideration of the profound, an urgent necessity to bear witness to life and loss. Here is a wide-ranging adventure in becoming a citizen scientist by an award-winning writer and environmental thought leader. As Mary Ellen Hannibal wades into tide pools, follows hawks, and scours mountains to collect data on threatened species, she discovers the power of a heroic cast of volunteers and the makings of what may be our last, best hope in slowing an unprecedented mass extinction. Digging deeply, Hannibal traces today's tech-enabled citizen science movement to its roots: the centuries-long tradition of amateur observation by writers and naturalists. Prompted by her novelist father's sudden death, she also examines her own past and discovers a family legacy of looking closely at the world. With unbending zeal for protecting the planet, she then turns her gaze to the wealth of species left to fight for. Combining original reporting, meticulous research, and memoir in impassioned prose, Citizen Scientist is a literary event, a blueprint for action, and the story of how one woman rescued herself from an odyssey of loss with a new kind of science.

At Denise Nguyen Orthodontics, we place an emphasis on keeping up with the latest in cutting-edge technology. This is important to us because when you come in to visit your orthodontist in Vienna, VA, we want to be able to offer the most comfortable and efficient orthodontic treatment possible. One such technological advance that we offer for our patients is Invisalign. We're also proud to offer Invisalign for teens with our Invisalign Teen treatment.
Invisalign combines advanced 3-D computer graphics technology with the 100-year-old science of orthodontics in order to create a fantastic new way to straighten your smile. Invisalign helps craft plastic, removable aligners that are designed to gradually move your teeth until they reach their desired final position as prescribed by your orthodontist in Vienna, VA. While they have the same intended goal as braces, they also offer so much more.
After sending precise treatment instructions to Invisalign, it will be used to help create a series of plastic, removable aligners that are customized for you. You'll receive somewhere between 12 to 48 of these aligners and you'll be required to wear them in a designated order. You'll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, only taking them out for eating, cleaning your teeth, and special occasions. After the two-week period is over, you'll move onto the next set, continuing this process until you've gone through the entire series and your teeth have reached their desired position.
Invisalign offers a host of great benefits for an orthodontic patient, including the following:

Hello sweet friends! It's been too long since I've written to you. As I'm sure you can tell, writing and reading have taken a backseat recently. Many things have been happening recently in my life that have made keeping up with reading and writing daily a challenge. I've had some family issues with my mom recently, and some of our differences are causing us to drift away from each other. I've seen it, noted it, and am afraid of drifting away from her permanently. So in the spirit of unity, I am making a very important decision:
I am leaving the country.
If all goes according to plan, this fall I will be embarking on a year-long journey in which I will spend no more than a week at a time in Nashville. It's exhilarating and terrifying but I am absolutely thrilled to be beginning this adventure with people that I love and who are dear to my heart.
I am starting off in Ireland, the breathtaking land where Finley meets Beckett in There You'll Find me. Then my journey will take me to Italy, where I'm sure to meet a Cipriano or two (AKA Patch Cipriano from Hush, Hush). After that, I move to Israel where I will be staying for several weeks. Needless to say, many of history's characters are from this country so I am more than happy to be spending time there. Then, I may be off to Hawaii to spend 6 months of my grand journey loving on the people there, showing each individual how special and important they are, and doing anything I can to help. After that, I end my travels in Belize, the country I've already visited three times. My heart cannot wait to end up there.
This has been such a huge shift for me. My heart has always wanted to travel (it's why I read and write so much) but I have never had the guts to do it… until I met someone who insisted that there would never be a better time than now. So I'm going. And I'm doing this. And I want to bring you along with me.
So obviously there are going to be some major changes to this blog… because it is no longer going to be Rose's blog for rambling about books and occasionally movies. Rose's Reids is about to officially be turning into a lifestyle blog. I'll be posting about recipes I learn about in Ireland, fabrics I find in Israel, people I meet in Hawaii, and (of course) books, because they are a part of my life.
There will be a name change to the website shortly, and the layout has already changed. I am being mentored by someone in photography right now so fingers crossed I'll begin to post some beautiful photos from around the world.
I am so very excited to go on this adventure. To get caught in a thunderstorm in Ireland or stranded on the side of the road in Maya Mopan, Belize. I can't wait to share what happens and what I learn along the way. But I NEED NEED NEED you all to keep me updated. Traveling is not a glamorous life… switching planes and sleeping in the back of your car… I'll need you to keep me updated on all the new books coming out. Which ones are the best? Which ones am I missing out on? Should I buy them IMMEDIATELY or wait until I'm stateside again? That sort of thing.
I'm still going to be posting a ton… just not about my reviews anymore. So if you are an author reading this, take note:
Yay! Guys, I am so excited. Love you all.
Talk soon…

If you want to gather events from the ULS log that are marked with a specific correlation ID you can use the cmdlet Get-SPEventLog. Since you need to pass parameters to the cmdlet and need to format the output it might be much easier to apply some kind of alias for that command. To achieve that I create my own function and call that function with the correlation ID as a parameter. You can add that function for easier use to your PowerShell profile and make sure that you load the SharePoint PowerShell snapin.
The function will look like this:
function getlog { param ($corrID) Get-SPLogEvent | where {$_.Correlation -eq "$corrID"} | fl TimeStamp, Level, Message}
You can call that function like this:
getlog CorrelationID
If you do not like to create the function but like to do copy/paste you can of course simply copy the Get-SPLogEvent command from the function an paste the correlation ID to the where-equation.
In both cases the result should look similiar to this:
Sometimes this can be much easier than using the ULSViewer tool.

ULTRA16 is a small boutique SoHo agency that handles specialty brands. I worked on the Estee Lauder brands as well as work for the New York Times and SOny.
This small agency is where I cut my teeth and refined my UX skill set for client facing presentation and work. There was plenty of work on all aspects of a project that a small team (project manager, designer, information architect, copywriter and content strategist) followed through from beginning to end. Though much of this work is more than ten-years-old, it is still relevant and fresh.

Almost everyone hates moving. There is packing, renovation of the new space and invariably lost data, misplaced paperwork, and invariably it's just a headache for the entire staff. Unless of course one uses a really great office relocation service Doral which specializes in just such occasions. An office relocations team can refurbish the new space, customize every detail to your specifications and create a space perfect for your staff and management. They can plan work areas to utilize the new space to it's fullest potential while creating just the right atmosphere for guests and clients. Visitors to your new location will be wowed, by the design, and marvel at the efficiency of the new location. Staff will be relieved because of the ease of this relocation.
Office Relocation Checklist
Even if you are using a service for office relocations there are a few things which should be on the checklist for management and staff. First have your attorney check the lease for your new Doral office. After that the main concern is data. All workstation and server data must be backed up adequately before the move. Make sure that hard copy files are carefully moved and refilled correctly in the new location. The second concern is personal property.
Make sure that all employees remove their personal items from their desks and work areas and that small office supplies and company property is removed from the location. Other than that, the relocation service will handle the rest. They may ask for an opinion on color schemes and materials, but they will do all the work, leaving staff and management free to continue their business efforts without disruption.
Locating The Right Office Relocation Company For You
Are you a business owner and thinking about shifting your office? If yes, then to ensure that the corporate relocation process gets carried out hassle-free, you should use the services of a reliable Business Relocation Services. By using a commercial relocation service, you can save your time and money, reduces stress, and minimize the mistakes in the office relocation process. This way, you can make the process painless. Such service provider can help lighten the burden of relocation and make sure that your business will not suffer because of the change in location.
As the demand for corporate relocation services has been increasing widely, there are a huge number of companies offering such services. A good service provider will be able to handle the entire relocation process professionally, without making any stress for you. If you are thinking about hiring a company, then there are a few things that you should consider, such as-
It is important that the company you are choosing has been offering the relocation services for many years, so that it can ensure about helping you in your relocating process professionally, and without creating any hassles for you. An experienced company will be able to handle everything regarding such process perfectly.
Reputation of a the relocation service provider is another important consideration that you should not forget to make when planning to use their relocation services. A well-reputed company means exceptional services and numerous satisfied clients.
Different companies provide their services at different prices. Therefore, it is suggested to compare the pricing of different service provider available in the market providing the similar services. This way, you can easily locate a company that can help you with top-notch services at the most affordable rates.
Checking the background of the company you are considering is also suggested since you may find many service providers out there that are new to the industry, but are capable of providing better services than the seasoned ones.
By keeping the above mentioned points in mind, you can begin searching for a reliable Office Relocation Company. The good thing is that there are many companies available in the market as well as online that can help you with one such service. You can go for a simple search on the internet and can locate the right company for relocating your office to somewhere else safely.
Office Movers Secure Your Confidential Records
Moving offices is a significant stage in a company's lifetime. It can signal growth, a change in direction and maturity. But if it isn't managed properly it can be a painful exercise so it's important to weigh up whether it's the right time to move.
One of the most common reasons for moving offices is business growth. Companies can simply out grow the space they're in. Upgrading to a bigger office space allows for a more productive environment and gives you the ability to increase workloads and staff levels. Likewise if your company is downsizing, then moving offices can be one of the simplest ways to reduce costs. There is no point spending money on office space that isn't needed. It may be wiser to have a shared office arrangement rather than leasing entire premises. This way your company is only paying for the space it uses and can share the costs of services such as reception facilities.
Like many business decisions moving offices can come down to finances. If your company isn't getting the maximum value out of your current lease, shopping around for a better deal can ultimately save money. Perhaps the landlord is putting up the rent but you feel that the costs aren't justified then a new premise may be a better financial move.
Outgrowing your office space may not only be an issue to do with size. As your company matures, its image can too. If your current office doesn't suit the look you are trying to achieve, then it may be time to relocate. This is particularly the case when you're working from home, it may no longer project the professional look you're after. It might be the case that you're holding more client meetings and it's no longer ideal to host them from your home office. It could also be that your current location isn't attracting the cliental that you're after. Simply moving offices could increase your client base.
When determining whether to relocate consider the positives and negatives of the move;
Costs - moving office can be expensive. It involves relocation costs as well as loss of productivity during the move. It's essential to plan the process, or seek professional advice, so that you're not losing business while you're moving.
Fitting out the new premises - particularly if the new office space is bigger than the previous one, you may not have all the appropriate furniture and IT infrastructure. This is where a serviced office may provide the best solution. The space is work-ready without your company having to bare the brunt of the costs.
Upheaval for staff - a new location may not be desirable for all members of staff and could lead to employees having to leave the organisation. Discuss the move with key staff members and see if alternative arrangements can be made such as flexible hours.
Cost efficiency - leasing office space that doesn't meet all your requirements can leave you paying for things you don't need. A new office gives you the ability to pay for only the space you use. Shared offices can be an effective way of conducting your business at a much lower cost without compromising on what you need. Relocating also allows you to renegotiate a leasing agreement that is more flexible and less risky, such as a short-term lease.
Gives your business a more professional look - many small business owners start off in very basic premises. A new office space signals to clients that your company is growing.
Equipment upgrades - moving into a serviced office can often be the solution to upgrading your dated IT systems and furniture. Newer infrastructure is already in place so your company doesn't have to pay the price for having the best equipment.
Reinvigorates staff - a fresh start in an organised and practical office space motivates employees and therefore increases productivity.
How to Reduce Risks During an Office Relocation
The task of corporate relocation is overwhelming, more than residential relocations. Here are some tips to make your office moving a smoother activity.
- Be as time-efficient and as cost-efficient as possible. Moving an office means loss of valuable working hours. Minimize it by being efficient at every front.
- If you would hire corporate relocation services, do it as early as possible. Professional movers are, any way, essential for moving large offices if a company wants to save valuable hours of its employees. Its good to hire them before at least 5-6 weeks ahead of moving date so that they may plan well for the move.
- Planning is the mantra when you talk of effective performance. Plan out everything, create a floor plan. map out furniture and equipment placement scheme, decide about where the employees will be stationed at the new office and the like. A little more hard work here will save you a considerable amount of time, money and headaches in the long run.
- Inform everyone- employees, landlords, and movers, about every detail of the relocation process. Tell the hired office mover about where each piece of furniture needs to be placed.
- Ensure that you depute at least one person to be in contact with the movers and direct them according to the company needs. This person should be well versed about the requirements and must have approval about the new office layout. Changing the layout of the office later is not viable and not at all cost efficient.
- Ensure that each piece that needs to be moved carries color-coded packing labels. These labels should be placed prominently on the packed office goods so that movers know exactly where they have to be moved.
- Dispose of as much garbage as possible. If yours is a large company, you might need to have permission from responsible authorities about disposing off waste. Initiate the process early so that it completes before packing starts.
- Make sure that all the facilities at the new office are installed before moving. This will save wastage of time and work could be started as soon as employees move to the new office. Check Internet connection, working phones and fax, restrooms etc.
- Change your company stationery and business cards well in time. Place the new address and phone number, and circulate the information everywhere through every means. Mail them to your employees and clients. You would definitely not like to lose any of your customers just because you have changed your office address!
- For rented items, clarify whether you need to contact your supplier. There may be contractual obligations requiring the rented equipment be moved only by the owner company.
- Book the services of freight elevators, if any- both in old and new building. This ensures a rapid move.

It feels like forever since I've written, but things have been soooo crazy busy! We had a super busy weekend, and an almost crazier week so far~
Maddie has been so excited about her new room. I finally bought the paint on Thursday and started painting...three colors of pink. One of the hardest things I've done in awhile because those of you that know me, know that I hate pink. I finally decided on stripes...and now that I have it painted, it somewhat reminds me of a Victoria Secret bag...
three wall are nearly this color combination with wide stripes and the other wall is a super light pink. I'm hoping to put the last coat on tomorrow, clean the floor and get her room put back together soon. It's been a bit of a challenge since the kiddos have been home most of the time and they want to help...which means make a huge mess.
I finally had a meeting with AJ's teacher today. He's been so different lately, such a challenge. He's been crying a lot, super aggressive, just plain out down on himself. Davan and I now have a plan in place and I'm really hoping that we can get to the bottom of this craziness soon before we all go nuts! tonight, we actually had a really great night. No fighting over homework, only mild fighting at bed time...and the best news from the meeting was that AJ (who was behind in reading in December testing at a 6) now is reading at a 2nd grade level and tested at a 17! That's a huge success and I'm glad that all of his hard work is paying off. If he has three good days at school, his reward is to return to his old kindergarten class and read them a story! I'm willing to try almost anything to help him rebuild his self confidence!
Baby Jax is growing like a weed. Those bottom molars coming in are kicking his butt right now...he woke up crying at 3am yesterday and cried til 5...broke my heart:( And when I went in to get him up, he was covered in puke. He threw up EVERYWHERE...and never even cried. I'm telling you, it was one of those days!
Training is going well. I'm not loosing weight which is frusterating, but I can tell that running is starting to get a little easier. I finally figured out a way to rig my actitrainer to work in the pool by hooking it in my hair, and if I run at 7 miles an hour with the jets on, I can almost get my 80%! I did have a nice 4 mile run on Saturday night which was a much needed jam session on my ipod. My friend Nicole always talks about how she puts on her jams and just kind of zones out...I'm learning how to do that, and I don't find myself hating life so much!
I PROMISE to get my camera out this week and take some pictures! Of moe's room, AJ's new hair cut, baby jax's teeth~
Love to you all~

Persuasive Writing & Write to Influence! – FAQs
1. Why did you write the book?
Answer: To take care of my troops. I commanded a squadron of 480 officers and enlisted personnel in Hawaii.
I saw how powerful writing changes lives – how a winning award or promotion package propels careers; helps families; and extrapolated, better enables parents to send kids to college … all based on the power of the pen.
I also saw how careers of talented people were unintentionally impeded by supervisors who couldn't write well. That just wasn't right. It was my "family" and I had to fix the problem.
2. What precisely prompted you to write this book?
Answer: "Scored 3+/3+ on DLPT." You don't understand this; neither did I nor would most people. It's gibberish — THAT's the problem.
This was the opening line on a military personnel appraisal – a document critical to promotion and career progression. Translated, it's a tremendous achievement. The individual scored A+ in reading/listening on a defense language proficiency test, placing her in top 5% of her peers.
As written, however, few would understand the significance. As written, she loses award competitions and can be hindered in promotion.
3. How have you measured your success of this book?
Answer: Measuring success is difficult, especially in the early months following publication.
Awards – It was just named as a Finalist in the New Generation Independent Book Awards. That is a tremendous honor.
Feature Articles – My writing techniques are the focal point of a feature article in the May/June edition of Analytics, a professional magazine for our country's operations research community.
Reviews – 25 on Amazon … all 5-star. Nothing less. Reviews on NetGalley and GoodReads are split between 5 and 4-star; again, nothing less. I've a lengthy string of glowing endorsements from the business world. She! Magazine highlighted Write to Influence! in its spring edition as one of 5 must-buy books.
Book Sales – I've sold several hundred books in its first year and continue to work the publicity and marketing; so, more to come. Also, a private school just purchased a copy for each of its 22 graduating seniors!
Libraries – My book is now in five county library systems in three states; I have been accepted into speaker programs for two of these (the third county is in California – hard to travel to the West coast to speak there!) and will give a series of workshops for young adults with a focus of writing essays for college applications, and resumes & job interviewing. Being accepted into speaker program of a library is a major nod of approval.
Clients – I was just hired by Diplomatic Language Services, a long-standing business in the D.C. area, to give two workshops. Word is spreading!
4. How long did it take to compose, Write to Influence! ?
Answer: Two answers to this question … 3 days … and ten years.
While assigned to the unit in Hawaii, I took 3 day's personal leave, rented a cottage at Bellows Beach, and analyzed my writing techniques. I pondered, "What enables you to consistently write award-winning packages? How, exactly, DO you write?"
During this seclusion, I distilled my approach to writing into 10 tools, which I described as "Word Sculpting," and generated a 15-page handbook. I then transformed that into a class I taught for the next 15 years because it was so popular and the writing tools so effective.
It took 10 years, off and on, to revise and expand the content of the handbook to its current form, replacing the military examples with those applicable for a much broader audience.
I reached a cross road in the summer of 2015: Either finish the book or flush the idea. I was compelled to complete it because so many people told me how these tools changed their lives. Write to Influence! has tremendous potential to help thousands of people.
5. Where did you write the book?
Answer: Well, I've already mentioned the beach cottage. I also spent many hours writing on a street curb outside my daughter's home in CA. Why? I visited for a week, helping with their newborn baby. Would arrive early in the morning; not wanting to awaken the household, I sat on the street curb and wrote!
I took the manuscript on a Disney cruise to Alaska. Enjoyed many hours on the cabin deck writing while enjoying the magnificent scenery. Also wrote at home, in the car, in restaurants. Might be easier to state where I didn't write!
6. Your acknowledgment page mentions, "Mrs. Gelwicks." Who was she?
Answer: Kathleen Gelwicks was my 7th grade English teacher, whom I adored. She was precise, demanding, and no-nonsense in her instruction. It was she who taught me to love grammar through sentence diagraming. That solid foundation enabled me to learn and love other languages, as well, and subsequently had a direct bearing on my Air Force career.
7. What other languages have you studied?
Answer: German, Spanish, Latin, Russian, Bulgarian, Turkish, and French. Of course, several of these are a tad rusty and require brushing up before I can engage in conversation.
8. How did you come to do what you're doing today?
I credit John Wayne, Bob Hope, my very patriotic parents, and my insatiable curiosity.
The journey began in 7th grade; my father was a colonel in Air Force intelligence. After being repeatedly chastised by my mother, "Don't ask your father any questions!" … I decided to join Air Force intelligence, myself.
I realized the power of the written word and its impact on people as a lieutenant colonel – the writing journey began then. I served 30 years active duty and also retired as a colonel.
Following that, I went to work for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and have been with ODNI for ten years. For 40 years, I have written for generals, ambassadors, Congress, and even letters that the Director of National Intelligence has signed to the President of the United States.
9. Can you describe a typical day in your life?
I arise at 3:30 a.m., arrive at ODNI in Bethesda, MD at 5:00 a.m. and spend the day writing executive-level correspondence. I return home around 3:00 p.m., grab a glass of wine, walk the property, and play ball with our cocker spaniel, Cash. I then begin my second full-time job … publicity and marketing for the book and developing/scheduling workshops. All is a labor of love.
10. What do you most enjoy about what you do?
Positively impacting peoples' lives – empowering them to better influence their own destiny.
To this day, I receive email and Facebook postings from individuals testifying that my techniques opened doors that would otherwise have remained closed to them. "If it weren't for your book and class, I wouldn't have…" are some of the most gratifying words I've ever encountered.
That's why I wrote the book and continue to write articles in various venues to spread the word; this propels me to continue.
11. What people and/or books have inspired you?
I am inspired by an overwhelming desire to help people and the knowledge that my techniques work. Three facts in play.
First, many people do not realize that the ability to write has a very real, financial impact on their lives – it opens … or closes doors to opportunity.
Second, learning to write well, leveraging words to your advantage, takes practice but is not difficult.
Third, people spend huge sums of money pursuing an education in their field of choice; however, they don't spend a fraction of that time or money learning how to wield the written word.
Think technicians (engineers, scientists, IT experts) don't need this skill? They are often most in need. If you can't effectively and persuasively make your case, how can you convince others (usually non-technically oriented but in leadership positions) that your solution is correct or deserves funding? You must leverage your written words and strength of your case to influence the decision makers.
12. Can you share some fun facts about yourself?
While in high school, I was the first runner-up at the national level in a sewing contest.
I adore baking (especially the desserts featured on the cover of Southern Living magazine) and collecting antique playing marbles.
I revel in throwing crazy, elegant dinner parties. I enjoy foreign languages, having studied Latin, French, Spanish, Russian, Bulgarian, German, and Turkish. Pure bliss as being on the back of a horse.
At age of 58, I took six months of polo https://carladbass.com/bass-blog/he lessons; "croquet on a horse," doesn't get any better!" My passions – writing and teaching others to write, of course!
13. What's next for you?
Continuing to publicize the book, give workshops, and develop a workbook for 7&8th grade students.
14. Can you share some background stories to the book?
Answer: Certainly!
A. This is my thank you to Mrs. Gelwicks, my 7th grade English teacher. I was assigned to the Pentagon as a major hen I first realized that I could write winning packages. I'd earned the nickname, "Major with the Silver Pen."
I attributed this ability to Mrs. Gelwicks and wanted to thank her. I contacted her husband to arrange a visit. He explained that she had suffered a stroke but was recovering and able to understand conversations and speak a bit.
I brought a picture of myself in 7th grade to help her remember me (we all changed a great deal, hadn't we?!). She remembered immediately.
I explained how it was she who had made such a difference in the lives of many Air Force people for whom I'd written award and promotion packages – people she didn't even know. Because, were it not for her, I couldn't have written them.
I cried all the way home. Good thing traffic on the beltway was significantly lighter in those days!
B. CGO (Company Grade Officer) of the Year Award. This occurred at my unit in Hawaii. I received an award nomination for one of my most talented captains to compete in the annual All Air Force Hawaii Awards – this was a big deal.
However, the single-page nomination was absolutely horrid! So horrid, I called the author to my office and cautiously made a proposition: If he would allow me to use that page in the hand book and the class I taught regularly as an example of how NOT to write – I'd give him private lessons!
Thankfully, he took this in good cheer. I taught that page for the next 15 years. The graduation exercise in Write to Influence! is based upon it, as well.
C. When I took command of that same unit, we were the most losing unit on Oahu for the quarterly and annual All Air Force Hawaii Awards.
A cherished memory to this day is the first time we swept all of the award categories … took all the awards, beating all of the other units … because my troops had learned to write!
You should have heard the shouts and banging of spoons on tables when that final category was announced! The room erupted in jubilation! We finally arrived and were in the game to stay!
15. How are you certain your writing tools and strategies work?
Answer: Well, in addition to transforming the 324th Intelligence Squadron from the most losing to the most winning unit on in Hawaii, sweeping the All Air Force Hawaii awards, is certainly a solid testimonial. But there are more!
Over the years, many people stopped me in hallways simply to say, "Thank you! If it weren't for you and Word Sculpting, I wouldn't have …." Specifics included "received the scholarship," "been accepted into Officer Training School," "received the Congressional Fellowship," and others … all of which were highly competitive and life changing opportunities.
16. You really are passionate about writing, why?
Answer: It's fun! Applying the tools and strategies in Write to Influence! is like a game. Find words to delete to make the text more powerful – that's an Easter egg hunt. Determine how to make the story more robust, adding details to make the story pop. That's painting.
Determine the message you need to communicate: Know your audience and intended goal. Depending on the task at hand, that can be poker! Bring wordy, fuzzy text into sharp focus. That's photography.
Of course, the end game is the objective, whether personal advancement, furthering a subordinate's career, or achieving or contributing to an organizational mission. That's pure satisfaction.
17. What advice do you have for someone who wants to be an author?
Let me change the question to, "What advice do I offer everyone?" Each individual entering the professional world – in almost any occupation – needs to be a skilled story teller.
Whenever you communicate, e.g., government official testifying to Congress, lawyer addressing a jury, writing input for your annual appraisal or composing your resume, updating the boss on the day's activities, nurse briefing a doctor about a patient, student writing a report for a college class … these are – in fact – telling a story.
My advice to everyone (beyond the specifics in Write to Influence!) — do NOT write as you speak. Words flow in conversation; we do not edit before uttering. A major mistake people make in writing is that they don't edit … at all.
The written language is completely different from the colloquial (that spoken daily), especially in the professional world. Unfortunately, this is a common affliction as seen here:
The values my father and mother learned and displayed are my ideal of citizenship. While I am not yet 100% certain on how I want to leverage my degree (i.e., private practice, government, or uniform), my parents' example has certainly taught me the "how" – fully committed, dedicated and with absolute integrity.
My parents' values are my model. I will pursue a career in engineering fully committed and with integrity, whether in private practice, government, or the military.
18. Tell us about your workshops.
Each workshop, 60-90 minutes in length, is fun, fast-paced, interactive, and effective. Each includes some of the Word Sculpting tools (face it, if you can't compose a sharp, focused sentence … it's game over).
My opening question, "Who likes scavenger, Easter egg, or treasure hunts?" Everyone does, of course. I present a slide with the teaching point and one example, followed by error-riddled examples. It's the audience's turn to find and correct the mistakes.
I teach high school students thru seasoned professionals in the workforce (often, they need the most help to expunge bureaucratic blather). I also tailor presentations to cover other aspects as customers desire.
19. What are your top 3 writing strategies everyone should know?
Whether writing fiction or non-fiction, you – as the author – are taking the reader by the hand and leading him/her on a journey.
First, answer the questions, "Why are you knocking at the reader's door? You have a purpose – a message – what is it?" Then develop an outline … a roadmap … of your key points, items you want the reader to remember.
Second, gather the substantiating material, thoughts, rationale, etc., the straw that Rumpelstiltskin – you –can spin into gold.
Third, use statistics and detail to give the story context, focus, and impact.
Fourth, (I'm sneaking in one more item), ensure the conclusion is powerful, succinct, and tracks with your intended, opening thesis
20. Any final thoughts you'd like to share?
Answer: Yes, two things.
1) My writing techniques apply to fiction, as well. The barometric question – Do you want to write a swimming pool book (one in which you can skim three sentences per page, get the drift, and don't mind it falling in the pool) OR do you want to keep the reader hanging on each word?
Apply my writing techniques to reach the latter. My favorite author – Daniel Silva; he makes each word count … quoting from memory, "The doorbell rang with the urgency of an angry infant." … My goodness, what that conveys! Contrast this with a sentence from an equally famous author (who will remain unnamed), "They went to a bar, ordered a beer, and drank it all up." OUCH!!
2) The realization that powerful writing changes lives actually changed my own life. I know that Write to Influence! will change others' lives as well.

03 Feb 365 Days and Acts of Love.
After reading of a fellow pastor and his project for the year, I was inspired to join Jaeson Ma in his venture for the year. Although Jaeson has a 32 day head start on me, I have committed to the next year to not only do the same as he. But this has also inspired me to do similar acts that came to mind that I am also starting, more on that this week.
I, like Jaeson will attempt to do at lest one random act of kindness to someone each day of the year. That is, 365 acts of love for 365 days of the next year.
To be the good Samaritan, to live a life of acts of love for others as Jesus did.
It can be anything from helping someone out in need, to listening to someone's problems, to giving encouragement, or to do some crazy act of love for a stranger. I don't know, I will have to trust that each day will bring before me an opportunity to love. So I will try to blog about one of the acts each day.
To sum it up: I will do 365 acts of love for 365 days of the next YEAR
The purpose ~ To not just talk about the love of Christ, but be about love
The goal ~ To live a life of love that will hopefully inspire others to love the same.

By David Boddiger
After 15 months at sea to avoid Interpol red alerts issued for his arrest by Japan and Costa Rica, the embattled conservationist Paul Watson finally went ashore late last month to visit family and testify in a U.S. case brought against him by Japans Institute of Cetacean Research.
Watson, the 62-year-old founder of Sea Shepherd, arrived in Los Angeles, California, where he was welcomed by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (yes, that Robert F. Kennedy) and other supporters. He was not arrested as he passed through U.S. customs.
I have returned to the United States. The Interpol Red Notice from Costa Rica has been dropped, Watson wrote on his Facebook page at the time.
It seemed like the red notice on behalf of Costa Rica had been dropped, as Watsons attorneys had indicated. A search of Interpols website turned up no notice of a red alert on behalf of Costa Rica, although a red alert issued by Japan was still active.
Watson was on U.S. soil for only a week when Costa Rican judicial officials formally requested the U.S. extradite him back to Costa Rica to face charges of allegedly endangering a ships crew at high seas in a 2002 incident off the coast of Guatemala.
On Nov. 5, Costa Ricas First Circuit Penal Court of San José requested the U.S. arrest Watson and extradite him to Costa Rica.
Finding the accused [Watson] in the United States, we request his immediate capture, and once that has been executed the procedure for his extradition will begin, the request from First Circuit Judge Jorge Cordero stated.
A spokeswoman for Costa Ricas judicial branch confirmed on Wednesday the request had been sent via diplomatic channels to the U.S. government. The U.S. has not yet formally responded to the request, and Watson has not been arrested.
Watsons Costa Rican attorney, Federico Morales, told The Tico Times that Costa Rica had reactivated an international arrest request and then communicated that decision to the U.S. Embassy.
Morales said he would challenge the request, as he believes the statute of limitations on the charges against Watson expired in 2004 or 2005.
Costa Rica claims Watson, a Canadian citizen, violated Article 251 of the countrys Penal Code, which sanctions the endangerment of a ship and its crew. If found guilty, he could face up to 15 years in prison. Watson was arrested in May 2012 in Frankfurt, Germany, where he spent a month in jail. He was released to house arrest, but fled Germany by land and spent the next 15 months at sea.
Watson and his crew strongly deny Costa Rica's charges, and point to the documentary film Sharkwater, which portrays the incident on April 21, 2002, involving the Costa Rican fishing vessel Varadero I. Watson and Sea Shepherd accused the Varadero Is crew of illegal shark-finning. The fishermen said the Sea Shepherds tried to kill them by ramming their boat and blasting them with water canons.
Watson, without authorization or legitimacy proceeded to take the law into his own hands by intimidating, threatening and attacking the Varadero I, Cordero wrote.
During the incident, a finger on the left hand of Costa Rican fisherman Antonio Mena was injured, Cordero noted.

Simplest ever... fish cakes. In three quick steps, with the help of some savvy shortcuts.
Salmon fish cakes
300g skinless salmon fillets
450g pack Waitrose mashed potato
30g cornichons, chopped
1 tbsp capers, rinsed and chopped
½ tsp English mustard powder
2 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley
80g Cooks' Ingredients soft white breadcrumbs
3 tbsp plain flour
1 egg, beaten
2 tbsp essential Waitrose olive oil
- Place the salmon in a shallow dish and cover with boiling water. Cover with clingfilm and leave for 12–15 minutes until the fish is cooked and can be flaked.
- Meanwhile, mix the cold mashed potato with the cornichons, capers, mustard, parsley and 3 tbsp breadcrumbs.
- Remove the fish from the water and dry well with kitchen paper, then break into large flakes, season and gently mix into the potato. Form the mixture into 4 patties and dust both sides with plain flour. Dip the patties into the egg before coating in the remaining breadcrumbs.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the fish cakes on one side for 4–5 minutes until golden then turn over, add the remaining olive oil to the pan, and fry for another 4–5 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges and your side condiment of choice.
Fish cakes with a twist
• Leave out the cornichons and capers and add to the mash 2 tbsp each chopped dill and tarragon, and the zest of 1 lemon.
• Use hot smoked trout instead of salmon and add bought grated horseradish to the mash with the rest of the ingredients.
• Try haddock or cod instead of salmon, and flavour the mash with shredded salad onions, spinach and a little cheddar cheese.

While there are a lot of haters for Marmite out there, a new study has shown that the food item could result in a healthy brain. The experiments were able to find high levels of vital neuron chemicals associated with brain in marmite and the new founding could be a big boost for the food item.
The study was carried out by the University of York in northern England and the group that consumed marmite on a daily basis showed a lower response time to stimulus.

Awards Night 2017
Judge: Harry Gardiner AWPF
Each year the winning prints and PDIs from our six monthly comps go forward into the Winner of Winners competition.
The Cordon Bleu was the highest award for gallantry given by the Bourbon Kings of France. It has since been used for recognition of excellence in many other fields. We have replaced the cheap medals of previous years with this Blue Ribbon - hope you like it.
As our Awards Night is almost upon us I thought it might be helpful for new members to provide a few words of explanation of what happens on this evening. But before I get into any detail please note that the hand in date for all entries for the Plate Competition is 26 May. Harry Gardiner lives in Tenby and I shall be delivering the prints to him on 27/28 May.
Winner of Winners
As the title suggest our judges task is to choose the best images from the winners of each of our six competitions. There are separate awards for the best print and best PDI. According to my records the entries are as listed in the attached Word file and Nick Craddock will follow up this message with another Valeflash in which he will list which prints he already has so that members can be sure to let me have any missing ones by 26 May.
The Plate Competitions
Members who have not been a winner of any of our six print/PDI competitions this season may enter the Plate print competition and/or the Plate PDI competition. To avoid doubt if you are named anywhere in the attached list you may not enter either.
Eligible members can enter one print and one PDI of their choice so long as they have not been a previous club competition winner at any time or Plate entry in any previous year. This means you can enter a print/PDI that scored well in one of our competitions but did not win, or images we have not seen before.
The usual housekeeping rules apply:
1. print mounts should be 50 cm X 40 cm;
2. PDI's should not exceed 1920 X 1080 pixels.
3. Labels on the back of prints and file names for PDI's should include individual membership numbers and image titles.

Connecticut's governor Dannel P. Malloy declared February 12, 2018, Charles Darwin Day in the state of Connecticut, citing the need to protect "the advancement of science and courageous free inquiry."
"After hearing testimony from dozens of students, teachers and parents, all in favor of newly revised science standards for Idaho K-12 schools, the House Education Committee voted Feb. 7 to strip out sections from the standards that referred to the impact of fossil fuels on the environment — climate change," reports Boise Weekly (February 7, 2018).
When Idaho's House Education Committee held hearings on a new set of proposed science standards on February 1 and 2, 2018, it was expected to make a recommendation. But despite hearing from twenty-eight testifiers, all in favor of adoption, the committee failed to recommend approval of the standards. And several members of the committee objected to passages involving climate change and evolution.
NCSE is pleased to offer a free preview (PDF) of Peter S. Ungar's Evolution's Bite: A Story of Teeth, Diet, and Human Origins (Princeton University Press, 2017).
Public opinion about climate change was reviewed in the National Science Board's Science and Engineering Indicators (PDF) 2018.
Public opinion about evolution was reviewed in the National Science Board's Science and Engineering Indicators (PDF) 2018.
Writing in the Orlando Sentinel (January 19, 2018), Brandon Haught was blunt: "Science education in Florida's public schools is facing an unprecedented assault that started last year and has the high potential to escalate this year. Evolution and climate change are the targets of a coordinated attack as detractors of these concepts seek to balance lessons with some forms of creationism or denial of human-caused climate change."
Alabama's House Bill 258, introduced on January 18, 2018, would, if enacted, allow teachers to present "the theory of creation as presented in the Bible" in any class discussing evolution, "thereby affording students a choice as to which theory to accept."
Darwin Day resolutions have been again introduced in both houses of Congress, according to a January 18, 2018, press release from the American Humanist Association.
NCSE's Ann Reid and Brad Hoge were among the science educators and leaders in California asked by EdSource (January 11, 2018) what they'd like to see happen in the world of science education in 2018, as the state enters the final stages of implementing the Next Generation Science Standards.

The reviews below represent where work has commenced and are the customers views, not the views of Checkatrade.
"Workmanship was excellent and we would have no hesitation in recommending Darren to others. Our conservatory looks great."
"Darren completed an excellent job tiling the walls and floor of a bathroom renovation project. Very open about cost and time. Would highly recommend."
"All good. He turned up to quote when agreed and turned up to work when agreed which is a lot better than some other tradesmen we have had recently who seem to do what they want as opposed to what the customer wants. The standard of work was excellent and we even asked for a bit extra to be carried out as well and nothing was an issue which we liked. Definitely recommend Darren to anyone interested in a tiling job. Good lad and very impressed."
"Darren was very helpful and professional in all his works. I would definitely recommend and use him again."
"Although the tiling was very difficult with uneven surfaces and odd angles, Darren skilfully cut them so they were perfectly laid. He also did some grouting left to complete by workmen on another job and did not charge for it. He was very good humoured and nice to have around."
"Fantastic service, on time and very happy with job."
"Very good job, 10 out of 10."
"Very high quality work. Darren did a fantastic job I would highly recommend him."
"He did a great job, very thorough and knowledgeable. Beautiful"
"Very happy, I have already recommended him, I was so pleased with the work."
"I am very pleased, I would recommend him."
"Very happy and reliable."
"He was brilliant, he did such a great job, I can't recommend him enough."
