Single Sourcing – The Sensible Option
- Details
- Published: Wednesday, 09 May 2018 11:08
When it comes to specifying lighting solutions there's far more choice than ever before in terms of the luminaires, lighting controls, emergency lighting systems and modular wiring that are available.
Jon Theis, director at TheisCraft, explains the importance of controlling the lit environment and why procuring lighting technology from a single source supplier can increase value, lower pricing, ensure consistent quality and reduce purchasing workload.
The lighting sector has been at the forefront of the drive to lower carbon emissions and, as it accounts for up to 20 per cent of a commercial building's electricity use, the efficient control of this vital building service can also deliver appreciable energy reductions. In fact, the global intelligent lighting controls market is estimated to be worth $36bn by 2023, growing at 10.2 per cent from 2017, according to the Global Intelligent Lighting Controls Market report by BIS Research.
Command and control
When it comes to energy wastage, it only takes a drive around any town or commercial district to spot the main offenders – the offices and industrial units left with lights blazing, either due to an oversight by an employee, or as a 'security measure'. Companies waste a huge amount of money on unnecessary lighting, something that is almost a criminal drain on resources.
In order to comply with existing and future energy reduction legislation, companies in all vertical sectors should be utilising lighting control technology to better manage when and where lighting is used. It allows light usage to be accurately monitored and managed and can make use of daylight harvesting, which uses daylight to offset the amount of electric lighting needed to properly light an area. Its use can also enhance comfort conditions, by controlling the colour and intensity of white light to reflect changes in daylight levels.
Lighting control is easier to configure than ever before and most systems utilise the digital addressable lighting interface (DALI) protocol, as set out set out in IEC 62386. Throughout the last decade it has cemented its position as the foremost standard in this field, with its ability to interoperate with a range of system components. A DALI lighting control system assigns an address to each luminaire, allowing management of each individual device, and can be as simple as a single luminaire containing a driver and a sensor.
The choice is yours
As with any other lighting solution, it is important not to make a selection based on price alone. While their prices can be attractive, cheap imported products and systems, particularly from China, often lack the design and build quality expected and use inferior components. When purchasing any type of lighting product, the old adage 'if it seems too good to be true, then it probably is' is well worth bearing in mind.
Buying from a reputable manufacturer is the best way to avoid problems but in the event that a product does fail, knowing that a replacement can be sourced, delivered and installed as quickly as possible offers valuable peace of mind. Unfortunately, if something goes wrong with a cheap imported product, the cost of sending it overseas from the UK is likely to be prohibitive. Conversely, a product that is manufactured and sold under warranty in the UK will lead to a swifter resolution if there's a problem.
That's not the end of the story though, as not all warranties are the same. For instance, a return to base warranty means that should a fault develop within the warranty period, the end user will have to send the product back to a service centre, where it will be analysed and repaired before being sent back. If it can't be repaired, a new product will be delivered. The obvious issue here is that the entire process can take a matter of weeks to resolve.
Under the terms of an advance replacement warranty, the manufacturer immediately delivers a replacement product in the event of a problem. The defective unit is then sent to the manufacturer within a specified time frame, upon which it is tested and repaired if necessary. The upshot is that the time spent without a complete lighting system is vastly reduced.
Single life
The world we live in today is filled with choice and the lighting sector is no different. Amongst its many advantages, the internet provides a variety of options in addition to purchasing directly from manufacturers or going through the traditional distribution channel. We are generally conditioned to believe that choice is a good thing – yet there is a growing sense that too much choice leads to confusion and the possibility of making the wrong purchasing decision.
The need to make this process less of an ordeal was exemplified in late 2015 by Tesco, which decided to scrap 30,000 of the 90,000 products from its shelves. This was, in part, a reaction to the growing market shares of Aldi and Lidl, which only offer between 2,000 and 3,000 lines. For instance, Tesco used to offer 28 tomato ketchups while in Aldi there was just one size and while Tesco offered 224 kinds of air freshener, Aldi had only 12. This development has been repeated in a variety of sectors since, all of which have realised that customers are time constrained and increased choice can be a negative thing.
This principle of 'less is more' applies in the lighting sector too. For electrical contractors, contacting numerous lighting equipment suppliers, carrying out lots of product investigations, checking prices, chasing deliveries, receiving deliveries, raising multiple purchase orders, making separate payments and querying invoices can be hugely disruptive and time consuming.
One stop shop
No one likes to needlessly repeat the same task over and over again and while ensuring good value is important, as discussed earlier, this shouldn't be purely based on price. Placing high volumes of relatively low value transactions across multiple product categories spread across a wide mix of different suppliers can prove more expensive and time consuming than first thought. In fact, the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply (CIPS) carried out research that found that regardless of the product, the administrative costs related to instigating, processing, recording and paying for a single purchase order amount to around £55.
The key is to spend time identifying a single company that can effectively fulfil as many lighting equipment needs as possible. Although this isn't as easy as it sounds, it's well worth asking a potential supplier about how it can help add value by, for example, explaining a problem that has been encountered before and asking how it would offer a solution. Furthermore, it is possible to 'try before you buy' and work with a company on an initial project to see how things go. Similarly, ask for a few quotes on a range of product types – that way competitiveness on prices across the board can be ascertained.
Some lighting equipment manufacturers have a diverse range of quality products that are designed and manufactured to offer seamless interoperability and excellent levels of reliability. Once located, a single source supplier can offer increase value, lower pricing due to consolidation of all requirements, ensure consistent quality and reduce purchasing workload.
Money matters
Purchasing from a single source supplier can significantly reduce prices through economies of scale and offer more influence, control and purchasing power through the negotiation price and fulfilment, and more profitable long-term contracts. It also enables an electrical contractor to enjoy the benefits of centralised management and expenditure, with the scope to see exactly where money is being spent.
Just as importantly, it drives compliance, makes it much easier to eliminate any rogue spending and, by paying one consolidated invoice, frees up time by eliminating the need to processing multiple payments. It pays to carry out due diligence on a chosen supplier though, as having a partner that is financially stable means it's easier to manage and reduce risk. The consequences of badly managed risk can seriously affect a company's bottom line, reputation and ability to meet deadlines.
It is also possible reduce waste – and therefore cost – on packaging and transport by batching products together. This can help increase margins and enhances environmental sustainability, something that is increasingly important for customers when selecting an electrical contractor. In terms of day-to-day operational benefits, just dealing with one dedicated account manager, who can provide a high level of service and ensure that orders are completed and delivered when required and sort out any issues, can prove invaluable.
Opportunity knocks
The growth in demand for lighting solutions puts electrical contractors in pole position to benefit from the specification and installation of this technology. However, the electrical contracting sector is notoriously price competitive and, with margins still tight, the temptation to purchase what appears to be a bargain should be resisted until all the facts about testing, lifetime expectation, standards compliance and the scope of any warranty are ascertained. Furthermore, identifying and partnering with a single trusted supplier, whose products can be relied on for quality and performance, and which offers an excellent support service, can address many of these issues.

Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) is calling on Sony Pictures to screen "The Interview" at the U.S. Capitol as a demonstration of solidarity with the company, support for free speech, and an educational activity for members.
"Threats from a dictator in North Korea should not stop Americans from seeing any movie. We have a responsibility to stand up against these attempts at intimidation," Sherman, the chairman of the Entertainment Industry Caucus, wrote in a letter Monday to Sony Pictures Entertainment CEO Michael Lynton.
Sony Pictures recently cancelled the Christmas release of "The Interview" amid threats and cyber-attacks against the company attributed to North Korea.
"Screening The Interview will demonstrate the U.S. Congress's support of the freedom of speech," Sherman wrote in his letter. "This is about our right to live without fear, and knowing that our values will not be compromised by the idle threats of a despotic regime. Good or bad, Americans should not be deprived of the opportunity to see this movie."
Sherman also advocated more American broadcasting into North Korea.
"It is time to give North Korea a double dose of free speech. Currently Radio Free Asia and Voice of America reach North Koreans eleven hours each night, at a cost to American taxpayers of $8 million annually (or roughly one tenth of what it cost Sony to make and advertise "The Interview"). We should ramp this up to $16 million," he said in a statement, advocating a 24 hour-a-day stream of broadcasting into the rogue nation.
Late last week, Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) also called on the Obama administration to screen "The Interview" at the White House for Members of Congress.
"Given the success of having their demands met, North Korea and other rogue actors are likely to be emboldened," Vitter wrote in a letter to President Obama Friday. "They will be encouraged to ramp up anti-US internet terrorism, which is viewed as a safer, affordable, and now effective method of making demands. A strong message needs to be delivered to reassure the American people and U.S. businesses that we will not bend to the will of bad actors, whether they are hackers, terrorist, state-sponsors of terrorism, or nation states."
Vitter noted that recent actions by the Obama administration — such as releasing high value Taliban members from Guantanamo and the last of the so-called "Cuban-Five" spies in exchange for American captives— have also served to embolden America's enemies.

L'intrepido (The Intrepid)
Gianni Amelio
Veteran Italian filmmaker, Gianni Amelio, competes in the main competition for the fifth time with his latest feature, 'The Intrepid', starring Antonio Albanese. Amelio, who remains best known for his early nineties' dramas, 'Lamerica' and 'The Stolen Children', returns with a light hearted take on today's transient society via a father specialising in temporary jobs. His last film, 'The First Man', picked up an International Critics' Award (FIPRESCI) at Toronto two years ago.
Miss Violence
Alexandros Avranas
Kostas Antalopoulos ('Greenfish420′) plays a social worker in a disturbing drama where a smiling young girl commits suicide and her family is not what it first seems. It is the follow-up to Alexandros Avranas' debut feature, 'Without', which won best new director, in the Greek Competition Award at 2008's Thessaloniki Film Festival.
John Curran
In demand, Mia Wasikowska ('The Kids Are Alright', 'Alice in Wonderland'), stars in John Curran's big screen adaptation of Robyn Davidson's international best-selling memoir, 'Tracks', which records the traveller's remarkable solo trip through the seemingly endless Australian desert. With the huge scope for exploiting photographic opportunities, Curran called on leading cinematographer, Mandy Walker ('Lantana', 'Australia') to shoot the film.
Via Castellana Bandiera
Emma Dante
In a potentially intriguing take on obstinate pride Italian style, two women drivers from the same family embark on a silent duel within a Sicilian cul-de-sac, each refusing to give way to the other. Emma Dante stars in her own debut film as one of the women, alongside the experienced Elena Cotta ('Looking for Alibrandi'), who plays the other.
Tom at the Farm (Tom à la ferme)
Xavier Dolan
Xavier Dolan has adapted Michel Marc Bouchard's play, 'Tom at the Farm', for his fourth feature, a psychological thriller where a gay man has an uncomfortable encounter with his deceased lover's family. It is the first time that Dolan has competed for the Golden Lion, after his previous features (' I Killed My Mother', 'Heartbeats', 'Laurence Anyways'), debuted at Cannes. All three went on to receive César best foreign language film nominations and wide recognition on the festival circuit.
Child of God
James Franco
The million things at a time man of American film, James Franco, takes on Cormac McCarthy's third novel, 'Child of God', a no holds barred exploration of extreme moral degradation, including necrophilia, and a terrible self-inflicted human isolation. Scott Haze plays the violent cave dweller, Lester Ballard, alongside a strong supporting cast that includes Jim Parrack, Tim Blake Nelson and Franco himself. Franco has already completed his next film, a look at the early life of Charles Bukowski, and appears in fourteen others at various stages of pre-release.
Stephen Frears
The church confined the unmarried Philomena of the film's title to a convent and removed her son for adoption after she fell pregnant as a teenager. Stephen Frears' new film, starring Steve Coogan and Judi Dench, dramatises the true story when, decades later, political journalist, Martin Sixsmith, helped Philomena find her son in America against the odds. It is the fourth time that Frears has competed for the Golden Lion.
La Jalousie (Jealousy)
Philippe Garrel
Philippe Garrel returns to Venice where he has picked up Silver Lion best director awards for 'Regular Lovers' and 'J'entends plus la guitare' and the FIPRESCI prize with 'Wild Innocence'. His follow up to 'A Burning Hot Summer' ('Un été brûlant'), which also premiered in Venice's main competition, is an intense drama looking at the thin line between jealousy and blind love and its consequences. The filmmaker's son, Louis Garrel, stars alongside Anna Mouglalis ('Romanzo criminale', 'Gainsbourg') and Emanuela Ponzano.
The Zero Theorem
Terry Gilliam
The long-gestating 'The Zero Theorem' has had the kind of checkered production history that we have come to associate with Terry Gilliam, making its final completion something of a surprise. Matt Damon and Christoph Waltz star in the surreal sci-fi fantasy where an unhinged computer genius endeavours to solve a mysterious theorem that will explain the meaning of life. Gilliam won a Silver Lion best director award for 'The Fisher King' at Venice 22 years ago.
Ana Arabia
Amos Gitai
Amos Gitai's latest feature, 'Ana Arabia', has already attracted the curiosity factor before its world premiere by joining the small group of films shot in one take. Yuval Scharf ('Lost Islands') and Yussuf Abu-Warda ('Kedma') star in this coastal town drama where a young journalist rakes up the past. It is the fourth time that Gitai has competed for the Golden Lion.
Under the Skin
Jonathan Glazer
There has been a nine year wait since Jonathan Glazer's previous film, 'Birth', which also debuted in the main competition at Venice. Glazer returns with a big screen adaptation of Michel Faber's acclaimed first novel, 'Under the Skin', a sci-fi satirical take on corporate greed. Scarlett Johansson plays an alien in human form on a mission.
David Gordon Green
David Gordon Green picked up a best director Silver Bear at this year's Berlin for his previous feature, 'Prince Avalanche', currently enjoying its theatrical roll-out. The busy Green now looks for more high profile festival success with his follow-up, 'Joe', based on Larry Brown's novel of the same name. An intriguing combination brings together Nicolas Cage and rising star Tye Sheridan ('Mud', 'Tree Of Life') as a tough world weary cop and a troubled boy, who form an unlikely bond.
Die Frau des Polizisten (The Police Officer's Wife)
Philip Gröning
It is eight years since Philip Gröning's last film 'Into Great Silence', which won best documentary at the European Film Awards and received a special jury prize from Sundance. Gröning now returns with his dramatic feature, 'The Police Officer's Wife', a portrayal of alienation within a small family starring Alexandra Finder and David Zimmerschied.
Kaze tachinu (The Wind Rises)
Hayao Miyazaki
Hayao Miyazaki's latest feature marks a change of direction for the animation master with it moving away from his trademark fantasies. 'The Wind Rises' dramatises the life of historical figure, Horikoshi Jiro, who invented WW2 kamikaze mission bombers without knowing the intended use. The anti-war message has provoked a nationalist backlash within his native Japan but it did not prevent the film from being the territory's biggest opener of the year so far.
The Unknown Known
Errol Morris
Venice breaks the mould by including documentaries in the main competition for the first time in its 82 year history; the honours going to the latest features from Errol Morris and Gianfranco Rosi. As the title suggests, Morris' 'The Unknown Known', provides a potentially intriguing exploration of the controversial former Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld.
Night Moves
Kelly Reichardt
The latest film from leading US indie filmmaker, Kelly Reichardt, whose filmography already boosts the exemplary 'Old Joy', 'Wendy and Lucy' & 'Meek's Cutoff', the latter of which competed for the Golden Lion three years ago, is arguably the most keenly anticipated film of the whole festival. Reichardt's topical drama, 'Night Moves', starring Jesse Eisenberg, Dakota Fanning and Peter Sarsgaard, enters ambiguous ethical territory where three eco-terrorists plot to blow-up a hydroelectric dam that serves the worst excesses of industrial capitalism.
'Sacro GRA'
Gianfranco Rosi
Gianfranco Rosi spent three years exploring the hidden stories of people who live on Rome's 70 km ring road, the largest urban motorway in Italy, for his latest documentary, 'Sacro GRA'. Although it is the first documentary, along with Errol Morris' 'The Known Unknown' to compete for the Golden Lion, all of Rosi's previous three documentaries have screened at Venice and 'Below Sea Level' won the Venice Horizons documentary award at the 2008 edition.
Jiaoyou (Stray Dogs)
Tsai Ming-liang
Tsai Ming-liang competes for the Golden Lion for the fourth time, having won it with 'Vive L'Amour' on his first appearance almost twenty years ago. His latest feature, 'Stray Dogs', portrays a homeless family haunted by buried secrets and having to make do on the streets of Taipei. The busy Tsai, who remains a key figure in the Taiwanese Second New Wave, has already completed his next film, 'Jiao You'.buy yasmin pills online buy yasmin contraceptive pill online buy yasminelle online yasmin pills price in mercury drug

One might call it a table that devours itself. Composed of around 150 tablecloths printed with different designs, the object is meant to erode through use. The stratified surface gradually wears away and, in doing so, the object grows into a self-referential landscape. One example is a paper tablecloth displaying a topographical map that is based on a week in the life of the author.
The layers were silk-screened in various colors, and combined according to the chromatic structure of natural strata in Northern Europe.

I see patterns everywhere: the symmetry of leaves on a branch, the scroll of a wrought iron fence, the fractal design of romanesco. I use these designs as inspiration for focal pieces, backgrounds, and special elements in fabric printing, art journaling, hand-carved stamps, and more.
Noticing patterns trains you to be a good observer of the built and natural worlds, and that always makes you a better artist. I keep track of my favorite patterns two ways: in my sketchbook when I'm out and about, and on 4″ x 6″ cards. I keep the cards on a ring and use them frequently as a reference.
If I'm really short on time I'll take a photo, then draw it later, or print the photo and add it to my sketchbook. I always note where I saw the item, and any other pertinent details, like colors and color combinations.
Here are some things I saw recently that were worth remembering: leaves, a lily (flowers make great repeat motifs), and a stone wall.
And here are sketches of a few more things I saw: a tile pattern I spotted in an old house, and some vibrant zinnias. Color is an essential component to this—nature creates interesting palettes that I try to emulate: gray-green and deep purple, rusty orange and steel blue, lemon and chartreuse.
I started making 4″ x 6″ cards when I wanted to have a more formal record of my favorite patterns. I use various types of paper and cardstock and a variety of pens, markers, and watercolor and acrylic paint. My go-to paper to work on is 90-pound or 140-pound hot press watercolor paper, but I also use black cardstock, handmade paper, and found paper.
From left to right below are a few different designs: simple watercolor circles outlined with black dots; a floral pattern done in Ranger Distress Crayons, gel pen, and black permanent pen; and squares of painted book pages arranged in a diamond pattern.
Quick tip: The same pattern can look completely different when done in a different medium or colorway, and this is a great way to road test new supplies.
Below, left to right, I used Sakura Gelly Roll Moonlight pens on black cardstock to create vines and flowers, layered acrylic paint and drew a house pattern with permanent pen, and created a loose pattern of lines with brush markers.
I incorporated the flower pattern above on an art journal page. Having the pattern to work from was a huge bonus, and I had fun adding variations, like layering colors of Distress Crayons and adding white lines with a gel pen.
Quick tip: When creating an allover pattern, make sure the design goes off the edge of the page, otherwise it can look like your pattern is crowded into the space.
Once you start seeing and recording interesting patterns, I guarantee you'll become as obsessed as I am. Try some of the resources below and start creating and using your own patterns in your artwork!

Season of Prayer: Day 14
There are different times for us to come together and cry out to God in unity. Let's enter a specific season of prayer, we corporately pray for God's leading and provision into a new property for us. Praise Him, because we have exceeded the space in our current building, so let's ask God where he wants us to go next. This time of prayer will unite our hearts, help us to hear him, and teach us God's own heart.

For the past couple weeks I have been a nervous wreck. Why you ask?
I let a $10 bet turn into a near embarrassing situation.
After the MU Tigers basketball game loss at Kansas State, I have been in a lively discussion with a Missouri Fan. We started with a $10 bet that escalated into a much bigger bet.
If K-State lost, I had to wear MU clothes in a MU Bar and Grill and sing the MU fight song during the Kansas and Missouri game on Saturday.If MU lost, the MU fan had to wear only K-State briefs and sing the K-State fight song at a busy Olathe intersection.
As the game got closer last night, the more nervous I got. My teenage sons didn't help. They kept reminding me that MU is ranked #3, is out for revenge since the last loss and is undefeated at home.
Days leading up to the game I lost sleep. I also became very nervous because my singing skills are atrocious. If you want wallpaper to peel and your windows to crack, I'm your man.
As the game started, I stayed out of my media room. Most of the first half I was downstairs in the kitchen with the TV pointed away from me and the volume down. I got brief updates from my teenage boys. From the sounds my boys were making, MU was raining 3's. The start of the game didn't look so good for my Wildcats and I think I spent a lot of time in the bathroom.
While I was in the kitchen, I prepared spaghetti for dinner and a few desserts for after dinner.
Towards the end of the first half my boys yelled down to me that K-State is looking better.
Since this blog post is not really about the game, I'll get to the point. K-State Won!
The win really took a lot of stress off of me. For the past 2 or 3 weeks, you see, I had a MU fan harrassing me and rubbing crummy MU stats down my email.
Now onto the bet and the juicy part of this blog.
I printed off the K-State fight song this morning and headed to Olathe to watch the MU fan wear only KSU briefs and sing the K-State fight song. I had my camera ready.
On a normal winter day, this would be really bad hard because of the weather. Today, though, the weather was in the 60's. Standing in briefs should be no problem. If he didn't find KSU briefs, I communicated to him that purple briefs or briefs with a Wildcat on them was ok.
Armed with the lyrics of the K-State fight song, I met a couple friends at an Olathe intersection. We all stood at different corner of the intersection.
While I waiting for the black Ford F-250 pickup truck with a MU flag, I noticed that a couple K-State fans pulled up. About 15 minutes into my wait, a reporter/photograher from KSHB-41 pulled up.
During my 75 minute wait, the KSHB reporter/photographer shot a couple shots of the intersection and interviewed me a couple times.
I'm very confident that the MU fan was watching me, because I saw a truck that looked like the truck the MU fan had identified he would be driving. The truck was spotted going through the intersection a couple times, doing a u-turn on Santa Fe and parking at the end of the Kohl's parking lot (the driver never got out).
My wait ended by calling the MU fan a welcher on camera because he never showed up. Maybe the cameras scared off this Missouri fan. What do you think?
Since I left the Olathe intersection I have received a few calls from the media and Wildcat fans wanting the name of the MU welcher. Should I reveal who this welcher from Missouri is on my blog?

The hypnotism has emerged into a major treatment and counseling method. The scientific method of hypnotism is widely used for clinical purposes to change the life of millions of people around the world. Hypnotism was widely used as treatment of curing mental problems. The psychological problems associated with children and adults were effectively solved using hypnosis. The knowledge that hypnotism does not require the assistance of an expert was another revolution that increased the popularity of hypnotism. The self hypnosis process was widely accepted. Books were written in large numbers to explain the effect of and uses of self hypnotism. Hypnotism is simple as it seems. But the power of hypnotism is so large that you can find that it can be applied in all stages of lfe. But this knowledge and application requires expertise in hypnosis.
This book of 'Review Of The How-To Book Of Hypnotism' is an authentic explanation on hypnotism. All the details that you want to know about hypnotism is presented in a ell organized manner. The book is very thin and uses a simple language. Even a person with not previous knowledge in hypnosis can easily grasp. This 166 page book will take you to all levels and techniques of hypnosis. The book begins its explanation from the beginner's point of view and then guides you through the steps of complex process of hypnosis. The book includes techniques to quit bad habits and phobias. This is especially useful for beginners. The advanced stages of reaching trance state and suggestion are also explained in the later part of the book.
The author Tom Silver who knows the inside out of hypnosis has presented the book with careful organization. The expert advice on the mesmeric or magnetic healing is something not found in many other hypnotic books. The book also covers the topic on dealing with energy healing in a detailed manner.

Parents and students came to the Geneseo school board meeting Tuesday night with hopes they could get the school board to reverse the decision to end the varsity football season.
Parents and students came to the Geneseo school board meeting Tuesday night with hopes they could get the school board to reverse the decision to end the varsity football season.
School leaders made that decision after police say several student-athletes used prescription drugs before a game. Those players were suspended from the team, which meant there weren't enough players left to finish the season.
The district said it would forfeit the rest of its games.
"What we want to know is how are you going to make this right for our kids?" questioned Jennifer MacDonald, parent.
MacDonald expressed the emotions of many of the parents of the 14 Geneseo varsity football players who remain on the team.
"They're being punished for something they were not a part of," says Kelly Harvey, parent. "You took away their passion, their spirit and their pride. We are outraged and we are bitter."
Seven players are accused of taking the powerful and highly addictive painkiller OxyContin just before the game two weeks ago.
"I'm not questioning the discipline," said R.J. Harvey, parent. "I'm questioning the decision to cancel the season. I don't think whoever made that decision considered the consequences of the 14 boys who did right."
Parents and students say forfeiture highlights the actions of the seven who did wrong.
"What I am asking for is perhaps an apology to those of us who did the right thing," football player Russell Harvey told board members.
Some members of the community see it differently and applaud the board's actions.
"Wouldn't you rather have your kids alive and healthy and good examples to the community rather than say we should continue to play football and not take this seriously?" asked Jean Hennessey, Geneseo resident.
Superintendent Timothy Hayes says this has been a difficult ordeal. But, he tells us the number of players left on the team, the serious nature of what occurred and the number of team members involved all contributed to the board's decision.
"On Friday night, September 22, Mr. Salatel and I were not worrying about forfeiting football games. We never discussed it. We were worried about losing students, so we have to change the message."
The superintendent did assure parents of seniors that the district will work with them to make sure prospective colleges know which students were not involved in drug use.

Let's touch upon the phrase, I AM WE. It is an ancient African saying. To me it means: What affects you affects me. It means: We are together; we are one. I AM WE means that with unity, solidarity and agape love for one another, we can overcome any obstacle and achieve any goal! By applying I AM WE, together we can crush imperialism, eradicate white supremacy, destroy patriarchy, change misogynistic attitudes and save our planet!

On the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., it comes to mind that from day one our society and culture have been heavily influenced by film. The recent slavery-related films, "Lincoln," directed by Steven Spielberg, and "Django Unchained," directed by Quentin Tarantino, will have a social, economic and psychological impact.

India is a country full of different cuisines and flavours, and for years, we've been feasting on some amazing delicacies offered in India like butter chicken, chole bhature, rabdi faluda, gosht biryani and much more. According to recent reports India was the third most obese country in the world as we don't think once before digging into some delicious food wherever and whenever we get a chance.
However when it comes to fitness, there has been a sudden growth in India's fitness industry and it is growing tremendously. But being fit does not mean hitting the gym every day, it is also about maintaining a healthy diet and there can be no better way to start the day with a glass of freshly squeezed fruit or vegetable juice. The easiest way to start your healthy routine is if you have a juicer mixer grinder at home. So why wait for another day, get your own juicer today!
Benefits of drinking Juices
- Most people are unable to absorb all the nutrients from vegetables and fruits because of the poor eating habits that they develop over the years. Drinking juice will help in pre-digesting the food for you, helping you get the most out of it. So, it definitely is time to check out your options for buying a mixer grinder online now!
- When you prepare juices, the liquid is separated from the fibre, leading to a concentrated blend of flavor and nourishment. The minerals are absorbed more efficiently from fluids than from the solid form.
- Preparing juices is the easiest and quickest thing to do. Unlike cooking food in the morning, a glass full of fresh juice prepared in few minutes in your juicer mixer grinder will indeed give your day a good start.
- For those who are conscious about their weight, fresh vegetable or fruit juice is a big help in keeping their body in shape due to low fat content in the juices.
Some of the Most popular Fruit Juices
- Watermelon Juice: With about 90% water content, watermelon keeps you hydrated throughout the day and is the perfect option in a hot country like India. It decreases chances of cancer, heart diseases and high blood pressure.
- Orange Juice: Good in taste and rich in Vitamin C, orange juice is good for your immune system.
- Cranberry Juice: This is rich in antioxidants and Vitamin C, and prevents kidney stones, cavities and urinary tract diseases.
Get your juicer mixer grinder running every morning, prepare your favourite juices in less time and stay fit and happy.

"Nesrin's reading was absolutely inspiring and confirmed that I could get a second shot at a childhood dream. She took the time necessary to give me as much details as possible. I did not feel as a client. I felt that she really cared about contributing positively to my journey. I cannot thank her enough for her help."
"It was a dark time in my life and Nesrin called me out on my past, gave me a hope for the future and said she'll see me when I achieve those dreams… 17 years later…I am now just coming back into contact as I go show my first feature film in Toronto, (on a world tour), with a couple international dj gigs… I highly recommend her!"
"Dear Nesrin,
I just wanted to say thank you for the reading, I sincerely appreciate you having spent the time with me and guiding me onto my path. I thank you from the bottom of my heart: your support and guidance means the world to me, for if it wasn't for me meeting you, I'd probably still be searching where I need to be. Although it's only been a few days since my reading, I have already made positive changes and believe I am headed in a far better direction."
4 months later
"Dear Nesrin,
I thank you again for the wonderful reading, your insight is always so uplifting and motivating for me. I would like to let you know that I have been brainstorming and writing for the past couple of hours, thank you for the encouragement. I feel that this book is finally in the works now and it's definitely going to be completed."
"Such an immediate release! Thank you so much for persevering, we realized the issue! I appreciated the relaxed time frame, and your bluntness! You are a blessing.
Many Thanks"
– Lindy
"Nesrin blew me away! She knew things that I had not told anyone.
Thank a million!"
– Annetta
"Nesrin has an uncanny accuracy rate – we never told her much personal info. Some things she mentioned she could not have generalized. Highly recommended!
– Philip
"Very accurate. Said things that others have said and more. Very encouraging."
– Cathy
"Nesrin gave me inspiration to move in the direction I need to go.
Thank You, Thank You"
– Tina
"Nesrin – You got to the point – Got right down to it – Nailed it – I feel so inspired.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
– Beth

Very Grateful."

You May Want to Avoid These Ingredients in Cannabis Oil Vape Cartridges | Leafly
From the Most High,
In a 2017 study conducted at the Medical Marijuana Research Institute in Arizona, researchers looked at the byproducts produced when vaporizing cannabis oil. These popular cannabis thinning agents were studied:
Propylene glycol (PG or PPG)
Vegetable glycerin
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400
Medium chain triglycerides
These thinning agents were heated to 230°C (450°F), and scientists tested the resulting vapors to detect the presence of harmful compounds like formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and acrolein.
Thinning Agent Alternatives in Vaporizer Cartridges
Producers of vaporizer cartridges are making a mass exodus away from these thinning agents due to their health risks and the unpleasant taste they tend to carry. Instead, many are turning to terpenes as they help thin the oil while improving flavor. Others are using different extraction methods such as distillation to achieve an oil thin enough to be consumed in a cartridge without the need for additive thinners.

Description of the book "Closer":When I was fourteen I happened to meet the celebrated drama critic, Jack Kroll. We were in his New York office at Newsweek when he asked me what I wanted to do with my life. I told him I'd like to write plays, if I could."Would you now?" He handed me a Grove Press edition of Pinter: Plays One and said, "You'd better have this then".In 1995 my first play was put on at the National TheatreOne night, I was knocking around the lighting box just before curtain up, "Anyone in?"The Deputy Stage Manager, said, "Harold Pinter PDF"."Yeah, yeah"."No, really".A few days later I received a little note from him, congratulating me on the play. I kept the note in my breast pocket for a month.In May of 1999 we had lunch. Harold wore a black shirt and drank white wine. In fact, we drank a fair amount of white wine together. I'd put it about, via our mutual agent, Judy Daish, that I'd be pretty keen to direct The Caretaker and word came back that Harold would not be averse. So we discussed the play in an adult fashion ePub, director to play-wright. I wondered when someone was going to tap me on the shoulder and wake me from this fantasy.A month or two later I called Harold to discuss some bit of production business. He came to the phone, full of beans."Hallo, Harold. You sound well".He told me that he was "well" and that he was writing a new play. He spoke like a man who had never written a play before, thrilled and delighted that the words were flowing. I was stabbing around in the dark with a new one. Harold asked after it delicately; he PDF treated me like a fellow writer, as if all writers are equals, all prone to the same problems.When I directed my second play, Closer, onBroadway, Jack Kroll came to interview me for Newsweek magazine. We chatted away in the lobby of the Algonquin Hotel where I was staying. I told him he'd given me a book some twenty years ago and that it had been more than useful. He was delighted. He spoke at some length and with great admiration for and about Harold's work.Jack Kroll died this summer.It was an ePub honour to have met him.The book he had given me was upstairs in my hotel room.Why would I ever part with it?It's here on my desk, as I write.

POCAHONTAS, AR (KAIT) - Last December, just weeks before Christmas, the Hamil Community Church in Randolph County had their church check book and two weeks worth of deposits stolen. It's been nine months since the incident, and the church now calls it a blessing in disguise.
"At the time we had about 12 members," said Hamil Community Church Pastor Hampton Owens."We didn't have a big congregation."
After several members in the community heard of what had happened, they reached out to Hamil Community Church, and in the end gave more to the church than just their money.
"They wanted to help and they just decided to stay," said Owens.
As the church has grown, Pastor Owens said they've been able to create different positions to reach out to members of all ages.
"We've got more volunteers to help more people," said Owens. "We have a youth minister, we have a children's ministry, and we've got people from four-years-old all the way to 80"
As growth continues, he sees some major changes in the future to accommodate their new size.
"Down the road if we continue to grow, we'll have to do some building and other modifications to our building here," said Owens.
Pastor Owens said he's amazed at what has become of his once tiny church and gives credit to answered prayers.
"I prayed to let us grow in spirit and in faith, and then in number and he did that," said Owens. "We finally got ourselves set right, finally got ourselves in the way we needed to be in God's will, and he blessed us tremendously because of it."

This is another recipe that I technically made up, but is based on a basic quiche recipe that I have successfully used in the past. I have been making a rich cheese quiche from Mark Bittman's book "How to Cook Everything Vegetarian." I love that recipe, but I had two problems with it: it always made too much custard to fit my pie pan, and I thought I should add some vegetables to maybe make it a little healthier. I solved the pie pan problem by buying a deep-dish quiche pan. And then I thought about a baked penne pasta dish I make with roasted vegetables, and realized at least some of those vegetables would be good in a quiche too.
I chopped these up…
…and added olive oil.
Then I spread them out on a sheet pan to roast.
This was after thirty minutes:
I put them back in for another fifteen minutes:
At this point I put them in the refrigerator because I was doing this ahead of time.
The next day I made the pie crust. Now, I have made pie crust several times, but I was a little nervous about it this time. I kept reading about making pie crust and how it freaks everyone out, and how it's really not so bad, except you have to keep everything super cold, work super fast, don't touch the dough that much, don't add too much water, don't add too much flour, oh and work super fast again. So I think reading more about making pie crust just increased my anxiety. I was convinced that I had added too much water to my past pie crusts and I didn't want to do that again. Also, it was hot in my kitchen when I was making it (this was last Sunday), and that made me anxious, too.
I was using the same recipe I always use from Epicurious. It is half shortening, half butter. I got some crazy vegan no-trans-fat shortening that you have to keep in the freezer:
My butter was frozen, too:
I put them back in the freezer while I weighed out the flour into my Cuisinart bowl:
Then I blitzed it up in the Cuisinart.
Now these next steps, I don't have any photos for because of my water anxiety. I put it the flour into a bowl and gradually added ice water. The recipe says to start with a quarter cup, but I always had to add at least a half a cup. By the time I added that much, I thought I must be adding too much. But my dough was still for the most part dry. Although some of it was sticking together, it was in no way cohesive. And I was hot and frustrated. So I thought, I will just stick this in the refrigerator and see what happens. I covered my bowl with its plastic lid and threw it in the refrigerator.
I was not expecting anything good. In fact, I thought I might have to try again the next day.
But when the next day came, I opened up my bowl to find this:
All the water had been absorbed and it wasn't dry anymore. It looked like a real, usable pie dough. So I set out to use it. I was still afraid that it would crack when I tried to roll it, so I set out some ice water to sprinkle on it if that happened, but it didn't. I had no problems.
The official King Arthur Flour pastry mat, for KAF junkies like me:
I rolled it out. I think you can see where I had to patch it in a few places.
Then I cut the edges with my pizza cutter so it looked nice. This was actually way too big a circle to fit my deep dish pan, so I had to trim it once I put it in.
The other good thing about this pan is the fluted edges mean I don't have to do anything fancy to the crust to make it look nice. I suck at that, too.
Finally it was time to make the quiche innards. Here is 8 oz. of colby jack cheese shredded by my Cuisinart, mixed with six eggs and some salt and pepper.
I chopped up my roasted veggies a little, and I ended up with 3 cups. I added it all because I wasn't sure how much my pan would hold, and all of it fit. But the quiche ended up with too many veggies and not enough egg to hold it together. Next time I would probably cut the veggies in half, and add another egg.
Lesson: Just because it can fit in the quiche doesn't mean it should fit in the quiche.
I had to bake it for about an hour and fifteen minutes to get the center to set. By the end, Mike and I were hovering over it with our forks ready. I don't even think we let it cool.
I also forgot my pan has a removable bottom. D'oh!
See, too many veggies, not enough egg. It still tasted good, though.
And despite all my fears, the crust was yummy. Maybe I need to do it that way from now on.

2010 Honda Accord Crosstour: Apples and Kiwis?
January 12, 2011
Driving the Crosstour got me to thinking: when was the last real Accord wagon? Turns out that was the 1997 model year. And thus began the comparison of dissimilar fruits. That '97 with its extended, squared-off (i.e. wagon) roofline offered the same seats-up cargo space (26 cubic feet) and likely quite a bit more maximum capacity than the Crosstour's 51 cubes.
Furthermore, the Crosstour still only seats 5, is nine inches longer and weighs 700 pounds more (front-wheel-drive version) In fairness, the Crosstour provides an inch more rear headroom and three inches more rear legroom.has a 271-hp V6 to the '97s 145-hp I4, has more safety and luxury features and gets nearly the same average (combined) fuel fuel mileage estimate -- 21 mpg versus 22 mpg.
In some ways (performance with fuel efficiency) Honda has made considerable strides in its Accord "wagon", while in others (space efficiency for its size) it has taken a few steps back. Although I agree with other staffers that the Crosstour is comfortable and pleasant to drive, the logical side of me (and yes, the aesthetic side as well) prevents me from giving it full endorsement.
What do you think? Should Honda ditch the crossover/hatchback idea and bring out a more conventional (and space efficient) wagon? Something like the new TSX Sport Wagon perhaps?

It wasn't until Harry was over a year old that I discovered breastfeeding dresses and I really wish now that I had invested in some of these when I had Charles.
Frugi have just added their new breastfeeding clothing range to their website.
The range features beautiful prints and a really flattering fit for all shapes. I think these dresses would even be perfect once breastfeeding has stopped...(I have my eye on the spotty one for this Autumn/Winter).
This beautiful printed breastfeeding dress has a perfectly shaped under panel which allows for the top layer of fabric to be moved for discreet feeding. The long sleeved dress is made from soft draped organic cotton with a touch of elastane for extra comfort.
This breastfeeding printed tunic top has an under panel which can be lifted and a gathered neck that can be pulled down, both allowing for discreet feeding. There are two handy pockets at the front and pretty button detail. The top is made from jersey with a hint of elastane making it really comfortable to wear.
This long sleeved striped top is perfect for breastfeeding with a panel underneath the crossover neckline which can be lifted allowing for discreet feeding. With ties at the waist for a great fit, this jersey top is super soft with a hint of elastane for extra comfort.

The i10 and the bus are on the correct side of the road. After the hit, i10 was thrown back to the footpath I believe. But on NH, it is common for all busses and trucks to suddenly come out from the behind for overtaking without seeing what is coming from the front and then don't even brake down or slow down but just continue their speed. I have tasted this treatment recently so I know.Sentil let your friend soul RIP.

Sentil, condolences. Looks like an overtaking manuever gone wrong for the i10 & it tried to get back in but it was too late. The Bus looks like it was well within the centre median

[quote=diecast;1767402]Given below are some statistics from the website of The Department of Road Transport and Highway, Government of India:
Agreed these are just statistics. However can notice a few trends -
1. Observation - the number of accidents is increasing Year-on-Year (YoY)
2. Positive trend - The rate of increase in accidents is far lower than the rate of increase of registered vehicles.
3. Disturbing trend - Despite all improvements in road quality and advances in vehicle safety, the "kill ratio" is continously increasing. a simple ratio analysis indicates one fatality for every 4.7 accidents (i realise that a single accident can claim more than one life.. but the same ratio was almost 1 in 8 in 1970)
In my opinion, a lot of this could be attributed to poor quality of drivers who drive beyond their limits resulting in more fatal accidents.

Bad news, once again.
Dad gave his jazz for the 3rd service at 9,700 km (6 monthly) and went back home. While I was coming from Connought Place to go to prime Honda to make the payment (car delivered by service personnel at prime Honda later at home), I have to take a U-turn towards Mother dairy crossing to go to prime Honda and while I am signalling and also hand signalling, this school kid comes in a FZ-S and without looking here and there, bang!
The Santro's rear quarter panel is hit by him. Since there is a police booth in front of it, I call 100 and describe the incident and just as I mentioned before, my mind was a ticking time bomb ready to explode anytime, and it happened. He is driving without a licence, must be 15-16 years old, was NOT wearing a helmet and wearing a school uniform at the time of accident, he starts crying and pleads not to call his parents.
I pressurise him and get his house number and when we call him, his mom is at the scene in 15 minutes and that too in an old ACCORD. Exchange of words, more people from prime honda are at the scene and the kid's bike is damaged from the front to the fairing and handlebar. I told her that all this happened and she behaves RUDELY with me and takes out her purse full of currency notes and asks me how much for damage.
I tell her, look, keep this money to yourself and better teach your kid that how illegal it is to ride a bike under the age of 18 and without the licence.
Heated words, again, by her, defending her kid and the police and prime staff are all by my side. The bike is impounded and while the lady argues with the police, I go there, make the payment and rush back home.
Dad did not say anything and told me that you did the right thing by refusing to take the money for the repair. Those are super rich people with spoilt brats, and they think that money can buy everything including the law. But I stood still and gave the boy a punishment he deserved.
the bike is currently in the police station. Let his parents deal with it in their manner.
Car will be sent to capital, Noida for repairs under insurance tomorrow.
IDIOTIC spoilt kids, and more importantly, even their spoilt parents who abide by them.

Tough Luck Sidindica,
You took the right stand and I hope you have further taken necessary steps to claim the damages from the Richie Rich family's insurance(FIR etc), otherwise the police will just take the money and let them off.
I assume it is their insurance you are referring to in the penultimate line of your post.

You will find the vehicle (usually a truck or bus) (which is behind the approaching vehicle in front) suddenly coming in front and appearing to narrowly miss your vehicle. Its a hair rising and experience and very dangerous.
The only way I've found to counter this is to proactively keep flashing the headlights whenever you anticipate or feel that the vehicle behind the approaching vehicle is going to come in your way. This helps rather than taking a passive stance but still have to watch out.
By design, all bus and Truck driver seats should be very low just above the bumper at car level, then they will think twice before overtaking.

Saw a charred Tavera in front of ESI hospital (Rohini) in the morning.
Anyone got any news on the same?
Sad stuff man! Kids driving rash and without a helmet are way too common in Delhi. I wish someone did something about it.

The best joke here is the unnecessary headache to run to court to pay a fine of Rs 1000 or so while she could've bought the entire case with more than this money.
Anyway we shouldn't expect that spoilt brat will not touch his FZ again & only IF the next time he doesn't meet another Sid who will be happy to accept money, this will keep continuing.
But, whatever you did, I'm glad.

Three hundred forty pages and adding. What is being covered here maybe just the tip of the iceberg. It should ring alarm bells for all of us, if not the people really responsible.
Why is this happening ? Who is responsible ? what should be done ?
I guess our road infrastructure is certainly growing, but do we have the road manners. Smooth roads does tempt people to speed especially after leaving a bottleneck. At most places you may find certain road surfaces acting in a way of throwing things that ply on them.
The vehicles have got faster, but what about the tyres & the brakes. In a bid to cut costs car makers are offering thinner tyres. Powerful engines and thin tyres equation is simple. How many cars come with ABS as a standard option.
Finally its us who push both us and the machine to the max. One should appreciate the importance of safety and ofcourse life. if things cant be adopted they need to be enforced in the strictest ways.
So many lives lost something absolutely irreplaceable.
Driving discipline is what is necessary but it should strart from strengthening the RTO system. Many have received their licence by just making a simple signature.

As for the bad roads, how many of us have actually taken the time out to write a letter to our local MLA/MLC/MP. I know I have not done so but I am going to start writing and urge that the rest of you do the same in your respective areas. This applies to all regardless of whether you are on the local areas voters list or not, nobody is going to take out the list and check but those letters reaching them day in and day out will hit a mark somewhere.
On the other hand how many of us actually spend on available safety features even if we can afford to. Answer truthfully and you will know the path ahead.
I started doing this ages ago. irritated a lot of people including my parents, miscellaneous uncles and aunties and wives and children of some of my most dear friends including the friends but I persisted. Now a days either they refuse to ride with me or buckle up quietly rather than miss movies,flights(factual) arrive late at their destinations etc.etc. DO this and God knows how many lives you will save directly or indirectly
Ten years later the uncle having retired, the local AA came in handy for replacement of the original license which was in tatters and while I was waiting with the Inspector they were conducting colour blindness tests for HCV drivers and guys who could not see the colour red between the myriad patterns were helped along. Not seeing Green is something the horns will make you aware of but not being able to see red and still driving along....
Another 10 and I hit 40 so went in again. Surprise surprise now they actually fail you for not being able to recognize road signs most of which I have not seen on our roads in the past 24(26) years of driving. The agents are more or less gone but I met someone who I know is a lawyer and he was running a shanty posing as a Doctor validating the medicals regarding eye sight, hearing etc etc. The guy is a within the same complex and told me he makes more from this trade than he was earlier making as a lawyer! He was very upset with me for having gone to a real doctor for my checkup.
I am not merely putting out stories here but just opening up the window to show you and remind myself of the scrap that lies accumulated inside us and the system of which we are but an integral part. However, let us make a start to clean up the mess one person at a time. Let us all do our bit and see the difference it will make in another 10 or maybe 20 but have faith in yourselves it will make a difference one day.
That snap of the i10 has had such an impact that I just could not stop myself from typing all of the above but I am glad I did as I believe I have my agenda for the next 10.
How about the rest of you?

It is essential to get your layout down when landscaping your house. The layout may be the largest differentiator between both brands. Several layouts can be found in the marketplace. The sometimes and long frustrating hours that you can have in learning all will be worth it, especially when you are able to already be identifying and rapid layouts after some second.
Then you are in the appropriate place if landscape architecture is a great reply for that. An architect has to be creative together with a technically expert. Most architects use an alternate computer or AutoCAD -aided design software to help their work. The modern day architects have now been able to identify procedures to reach their heights in the shape of technology. Some landscape architects just purchase a stamp from office supply store or they're regional fixed. Many landscape architects become hung on the notion of BIM (Building Information Modeling), simply because it comprises the word building.
If a drawing is required by someone by a specific time, that means they demand an extensive thing. Quite enjoyable drawings may be created by you with the program. In fact, fast 3D versions and carrying AutoCAD line drawings to create simple has been a technique that is powerful and dependable.
AutoDesk distributes several floor plan computer software applications and the perfect layout easily available, named AutoCAD. Most individuals using AutoCAD, draw utilizing drawing units that are decimal. AutoCAD is a challenging learning curve. The name AutoCad frequently thought of as the best landscape design software used by all kinds of professionals and is recognized. CAD, at times, can be challenging to use and unlike quite a couple of other software, is exceptionally complex. Now the architectural cad has the best future of the world.
Just a little investment in landscape design applications now will have the ability to help you receive the lawn that you simply dream about and raise the value of your house. Other landscape design computer software companies eventually have an import function where you can import an Autocad drawing in their own application. Many irrigation contractors increase correctness and use design applications to hasten the process. Whether you are a man who's searching for an effective design for his or her house or an expert property contractor, you are going to find these tools quite useful really.This system may be used with Windows and it can consistently create the effects that were amazing although it's costly. It is the applications which are best for anyone with individuals and experience who'd like to have the very best results. There is certainly even software that might be used by beginners and those who have hardly any knowledge in architectural designs and a few have advanced features that need an experienced architect understand and to work this system. It is indeed a user-friendly program when you become accustomed to it. The automated design process reduces the likelihood of errors, he says.
Learning the way to use CAD applications is not a trivial effort. Only buying CAD applications that are high-priced will not make it hard to learn. The tools are chosen for design constantly affect the results, just like the alternative of drawing tool (pencil, charcoal, brush etc). Software that is other reviews which you must be seeing for are as follows. It is also straightforward applications to learn. Should you be searching for applications that are new, take a glance only at that list. There's actually no perfect landscape design applications out there.
