Writing a winning government proposal is not the product of luck, but rather careful planning, writing, and review. In this four-part series of blogs, we will be discussing the capture, strategic planning, execution, and evaluation processes. Each of these elements is key to create not only a compliant proposal but a competitive proposal that can win contracts.
The review process for a government proposal usually requires several prescribed reviews. These are often referred to by the color of the review, beginning with Blue, Pink, Red, Green, Gold, and ending with White. Each step of the review process will further mature the proposal and assess the proposal for specific elements.
Blue Team Review
- Proposal will be outlined and may include draft tables and graphics. Key personnel,
solutions, win themes, and strategies should be identified.
- Blue Team will evaluate the outline, identify any gaps, and ensure that all sections are
included and assigned.
Pink Team Review
- Proposal will be mostly complete, each section will include content drafted with a clear
approach. The document will contain graphics and tables.
- Pink Team will review for compliance and completeness, identify any gaps or concerns.
They will also begin to look at the overall story to make sure that it is compelling and
consistent with the customer's needs.
Red Team Review
- Proposal will be almost complete, with the concerns identified in the subsequent
reviews addressed. The document will be formatted and contain final graphics, tables,
- Red Team will review the proposal from the customer's perspective, looking for
compliance and clarity. They will also look at the overall value of the proposed
solution, including the features presented and the cost.
Green Team Review
- Green Team will review for pricing, look for completeness and compliance with the
prescribed format. This review can occur at any step of the process.
Gold Team Review
- Proposal will be complete and formatted.
- Gold Team will focus on high-level win themes and differentiators.
White Team Review
- White Team will complete the final review and check for visual or formatting errors.
Outside of this prescribed process for evaluating your proposal, there are some additional elements you may want to consider for an effective review.
1. Preparing Your Reviewers
Before you start to think about reviewing your proposal, you need to make sure that you have selected qualified and prepared reviewers. Each reviewer should have the appropriate experience and background to assess the proposal at its given stage, so that they are able to provide the feedback and guidance to move the proposal to the next level. Reviewers should have a broad knowledge of your company's strengths and the proposal's requirements. You should also make sure that reviewers have adequate time and availability to complete a thorough review.
Each phase of the review process will evaluate the proposal for different elements, additionally, every review should also evaluate win themes, differentiators, and compliance. Providing reviewers with a tool such as instructions or a scoring matrix, designed for each step of the review process, will ensure that the reviewers are using a consistent approach and methodology. This may also help reviewers to stay on task and look for the elements that are significant to their team's review. For example, the Blue Team will be looking at a rough draft and should be evaluating the proposal outline, not looking for formatting or spelling issues. Instead, you could use prompts such as, "Did the section adequately address the customer's needs?" or "Did we thoroughly describe our approach or methodology?"
2. Editing and Formatting
Typically proposal manager will be responsible for making sure that each writer is aware of formatting and space restrictions. They will also be in charge of compiling the elements and ensuring that the document is consistently formatted. When you are able, using technical editors ensures that you create a polished and consistent document.
You should plan to determine the process for responding to each review. One or two, highly qualified people should review comments and determine which are relevant and need to be addressed. If there are significant re-writes, determine who complete the re-writes and make sure the goal of the edits is very clear and specific. At this point most proposals are very large, so version control will be incredibly important.
3. Creating Graphics
Including graphics can save valuable space, present complex concepts, and will elevate the professionalism and interest of your proposal. We generally try to include a graphic on each page of text, these may include tables, call-out boxes, diagrams, or figures. It is important to make sure you are including meaningful elements that bring value, increase understanding, and resonate with the customer's requirements.
The review process ensures that the story you created is consistent, compelling, and compliant. But, the final and most important phase of this entire process is submission. When possible submit ahead of the deadline, being on time is part of compliance.
If you follow these steps, carefully planning, writing, and reviewing, you will be well on your way to consistently generating winning proposals.

When you ask people what they think of stay-at-home moms, you receive a variety of viewpoints on mothers who stay at home to raise their children.
Stay-at-home moms are becoming more common. We no longer live in a world of 'Leave It to Beaver,' when 49 percent of women were stay-at-home moms with a working partner in 1967.
According to a 2014 Pew Research report, the number of women becoming stay-at-home moms has increased. While 71% of mothers work outside the house, 29% stay at home with their children. This figure has increased by 6% since 1999.
One such stay-at-home mom is Megan Marie Komosa. Megan is a 33 years old mother at two who is a successful stay-at-home mom and a housewife. Megan recognized herself to the world as a social media mom who shares valuable content to support other stay-at-home moms and housewives.
The path Megan took wasn't easy for her. She struggled with the issues of being a new mother, feeling unproductive, bored at home, and lost in the journey of finding a distinctive purpose for herself.
As a business graduate, Megan always had an entrepreneurial side of her personality. When postpartum depression, loneliness, and boredom became overwhelming, her creative side kicked in, and Megan decided to utilize the power of social media.
What started with a video diary of Megan's journey has become a massive community of thousands of stay-at-home moms and housewives who love and admire Megan for her content.
Contrary to the popular yet appalling beliefs that stay-at-home moms are slackers, can't decide between career and family, and aren't contributing to society in any way, Megan made all the stay-at-home moms feel appreciated, loved, and accepted. She found a tribe of women who are making significant sacrifices to stay at home and care for their children on a daily basis.
With a mission to connect with other women on the same path and empower them, Megan's social media presence provides well-needed support and assurance to every millennial mother suffering from self-doubt and feeling lost in the journey of motherhood and managing a family.
Megan believes that stay-at-home mothers choose to focus on their god-given role as mom and wife and live the best life they can manage.
While talking about her social-media-mom role, Megan shares, "I love sharing my life with my social media community. I would love to show more about how much grind it takes to grow what my husband and I have. I think that can be really inspiring, but we are also keeping it real and not ashamed to share the highs and lows."

'He's All That' is flop of a film
Do not waste 90 minutes watching this movie
September 19, 2021
When I sat down to watch Netflix's remake of the 1999 romantic comedy, "She's All That," my expectations were not high. But, wow.
If I hadn't been watching "He's All That" to review it, I probably would've turned it off in the first half hour.
"He's All That" follows Padgett Sawyer, a teenage internet personality specializing in social makeovers and played by TikTok star Addison Rae in her on-screen debut.
Padgett loses a massive number of social media followers after a humiliating incident. In an effort to rebuild her tarnished reputation and regain a critical sponsorship, she decides to "make over" token weird guy Cameron Kweller (played by Tanner Buchanan) by making him into her school's next prom king.
It's hard to accurately explain the emotions I experienced while watching this movie. Second-hand embarrassment just does not seem to cover it.
The premise is innocent enough. It remains true to the original plot while introducing modern elements that today's teenagers can relate to, such as dealing with online drama and social media.
Sadly, the execution left much to be desired.
The issues had to have been present as early as the writing stages. The entire film feels rushed — rather than feeling like a cohesive movie, it seems more like a series of aesthetic fantasies the creators wanted to throw together, from a gaudy 1920s-themed birthday party to a prom dance-off that comes basically out of nowhere.
Even the characterization is flat, Rae and Buchanan are frankly not nearly talented enough actors to breathe life into the insipid characters of Padgett and Cameron.
When the movie is not boring you half-to-death, it is pure, unbelievable cringe.
You would think that a movie starring one of the biggest people on the internet right now would finally be the movie to accurately represent the culture and etiquette of today's youth. You hope for it so bad.
And yet you are disappointed.
To its credit, an attempt was made. The fake influencer culture and performative online activism we see so often is heavily prevalent, but the satire is lost when the movie's lead is one of the biggest perpetrators of such things in real life.
Even the movie's depiction of social media is severely flawed.
How does the plot center simultaneously around a high school's prom night and an entire social media platform? Is everyone in the world just heavily invested in this high school? Or is the internet just composed of only the students at this one school?
My questions here are unending, but I digress.
Although the film itself is little more than an hour and a half of cringe, the one positive thing I can say for "He's All That" is that as a remake, it is very cleverly done.
The references to the original classic are subtle enough to remind old fans why they loved it so much, while still appealing to younger fans who might never have seen the original.
Even two of the actors from the original returned as new minor characters — Rachael Leigh Cook, the "she" in "She's All That" and counterpart to Tanner Bachanan's Cameron, plays Padgett's mom, and Matthew Lillard, the original antagonist, plays the goofy high school principal.
However, Freddie Prinze Jr., the star of "She's All That," was noticeably absent.
Perhaps he just had the foresight to avoid putting his name on such an embarrassment of a film.
The next time you're perusing Netflix, save 90 minutes of your precious life and avoid watching "He's All That" at all costs.


text: | Aggregate Risk and the Choice between Cash and Lines of Credit by Viral V. Acharya of New York University, June 2010 Abstract: We argue that a firm's aggregate risk is a key determinant of whether it manages its future liquidity needs through cash reserves or bank lines of credit. Banks create liquidity for firms by pooling their idiosyncratic risks. As a result, firms with high aggregate risk find it costly to get credit lines from banks and opt for cash reserves in spite of higher opportunity costs and liquidity premium. We verify our model's hypothesis empirically by showing that firms with high asset beta have a higher ratio of cash reserves to lines of credit, controlling for other determinants of liquidity policy. This effect of asset beta on liquidity management is economically significant, especially for financially constrained firms; is robust to variation in the proxies for firms' exposure to aggregate risk and availability of credit lines; works at the firm level as well as the industry level; and is significantly stronger in times when aggregate risk is high. Consistent with the channel that drives these effects in our model, we find that firms with high asset beta face higher spreads on bank credit lines. JEL Classification: G21, G31, G32, E22, E5. Keywords: Bank lines of credit, cash holdings, liquidity premium, lending channel, asset beta. Books Referenced in this paper: (what is this?) Download paper (652K PDF) 48 pages |

The Doctrine of Justification By Zacharias Ursinus
This article is a copy of Zacharinus Ursinus's exposition of the Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 23, which shows that righteousness has to do with conformity with the law, and that justification is the application of this. Evangelical righteousness is when God imputes Christ's righteousness to the believer and declares the believer just on the basis of the complete work of Christ.
Zacharius Ursinus: Author of the Heidelberg Catechism
This article is about Zacharius Ursinus, born in 1534 in Breslau, Austria. He was one of the authors of the Heidelberg Catechism.

Biden's first hundred days in office saw the passage of his $1.9 trillion Covid relief and economic stimulus package, along with the escalation of an unprecedented mass vaccination campaign that appears, at last, to be beating back the coronavirus pandemic. The success of those high-stakes government interventions has, in the eyes of many on the left, laid the groundwork for broader enhancements to the social safety net on a scale to match the ambitions of Democratic Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, author of the New Deal, and Lyndon B. Johnson, who enshrined Medicare and Medicaid as part of his Great Society.
But the heady comparisons are, at most, premature, and more likely wishful thinking. Even if Biden's aspirations have been severely underestimated, the governing environment today — even with Democrats in control of Congress — is less conducive to the kind of enduring rewrites to the American social compact composed by his predecessors.
Still, it is undeniable that Biden has so far succeeded at a practice that either eluded or had been largely dismissed as a useful practice by more recent Democratic administrations. The most unexpected political success of Biden's first three months in office is not a healthy approval rating or even the broad popularity of the "American Rescue Plan." It is, instead, the strategic work that seeded those outcomes — the building and prodding along of a fragile but effective coalition within his own party.
Now, though, comes a more intricate, complicated political challenge. The green shoots of economic recovery, juiced by March's relief package, has created a welcome problem for Democrats. Absent the consuming impetus for action, both party centrists and progressives figure to be emboldened to drive tougher bargains on new legislation.
Worries of a lost summer
With Republicans electing to effectively sit out talks with Democrats in Washington, Biden has pressed forward, refusing to be drawn into protracted, dead-end negotiations. His deeply rooted, near ideological devotion to finding bipartisan consensus has, for the moment, been pacified by the realities of the day (and lessons from the past). Instead, Biden has focused his deal-making efforts on lawmakers from within own party, whose slim congressional majorities mean that a single Senate defection or the loss of even a minor bloc of House members would be enough to grind his presidency to a halt.
As the first 100 days spill out into what leading progressives worry could become a lost summer, there is a growing sense that the window for generational action on issues like climate change is closing. Biden is loath to squander the opportunities presented by what his chief of staff, Ron Klain, has described as a series of overlapping crises, but his willingness to take on more ambitious projects — the kind that fit under Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren's heading of "big, structural change" — is less plain to see.
What's clearer is how he'll go about his business. Biden is a politician in the purest sense and his ability to position himself, through a combination of aggressive outreach and intuition, within touching distance of both poles of his party is a unique talent. He did not ride into the White House on the shoulders of a movement, but he clearly understands their power, just as his decades of experience counting votes in the Senate made clear their limitations.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez nodded to both realities in a recent virtual town hall, when she said the administration has "definitely exceeded expectations that progressives had," before pointing to the crossroads ahead.
"I do think that the infrastructure plan is too small, but I think that (Biden's) vision was right — I think that what he advanced as some of these key goals were the right ones and they were admirable ones," Ocasio-Cortez said. "But I have real concerns that the actual dollars and cents and programmatic allocations in the bill don't meet the ambition of that vision of what's being sold."
Ocasio-Cortez and her allies in the increasingly effective Congressional Progressive Caucus, led by Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal, have been measured in their public remarks. In a way, their positioning reflects Biden's own calculus — that there is little margin for error and fights will need to be chosen with care, or else they'll consume and undermine the coalition.
A test of trust
After Biden secured the Democratic presidential nomination early last April, when Sen. Bernie Sanders dropped out of the race and quickly endorsed him, the Biden team and leading progressives carved out a strategic partnership rooted in a shared desire to unseat Trump and launch a coherent, effective and equitable pandemic response. But baked into their election-winning alliance was another understanding: that relationships mattered and, down the line, confrontation was inevitable.
So, they set about to create some padding.
First came the "unity task forces," working groups with members appointed by Sanders and Biden, charged with hashing out policy differences and establishing some kind of framework for future action. The meetings produced some meaningful consensus, mostly on climate change policy, but were more valuable to both sides as social exercises or dry-runs for the intra-party debates to come.
Then, after the election, another hurdle: staffing the White House and administration. Despite installing many of the usual suspects — a handful of them distrusted or even loathed on the left — in the highest ranking jobs, Biden's team also embedded a new generation of progressive policy thinkers into less flashy but influential roles, setting them up well not only for the coming months and years, but to begin a slow transition toward a more progressive-minded Democratic policy establishment.
Those early moves are inextricable from the confrontations on the table now, creating a more hospitable environment for constructive debate and a base of goodwill — and good faith — that could spare the party a return to its recent history of more corrosive clashes.
For example: Though the parameters of Biden's infrastructure package, the "American Jobs Plan," are still being drawn and the sticking points only vaguely in focus, the size and scope of its climate investments are already picking at doubters on the left.
Biden has said he wants to cut US greenhouse gas emissions by 50%-52% from their 2005 levels by 2030, but his proposed spending — $2 trillion over eight years — is a retreat from his campaign pitch, which called for the same amount over just four years. There is no Republican support for anything close to either outlay, which means Democrats will — again — ultimately be negotiating with themselves in an effort to get to the 50 votes (plus Vice President Kamala Harris's tie-breaker) to pass the final bill through budget reconciliation rules in the Senate. Anything less than unanimity in the upper chamber and something close to it in the House would kibosh the plan, whatever it looks like.
A group of progressive organizations, including Justice Democrats and the Sunrise Movement, highlighted the pressure points in a memo published this week that graded Biden's first 100 days and spelled out the left's agenda going forward.
The authors described the American Rescue Plan as "an important step toward stabilizing the country" and cheered the administration for acting decisively when it became clear Republicans weren't coming onboard. They also highlighted Biden's rapid Covid response, his early rhetoric on climate change and the creation of a White House Office of Domestic Climate Policy, choosing progressive Deb Haaland to run the Interior Department and his recent commitment to fully withdraw US troops from Afghanistan.
But its kicker, after listing the issues where Biden had yet to move, was stark.
"The honeymoon," they wrote, "is over."
Rhetoric vs. reality
The left's agenda is indeed broad, ambitious and, to date, largely unfulfilled. There is also an emerging gap between Biden's spoken words and those that appear, on paper, in his legislative agenda.
In his address to a joint session of Congress this week, Biden made the public case for boosting the minimum wage and passing the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, a top priority for labor and the left. He also touted what could be his signature achievement: an expansion of the poverty-busting child tax credit, written into his Covid relief bill, that he wants to extend another four years. (Its supporters, a broad-based group in the Senate, want to make the benefit permanent.)
Biden also discussed lowering prescription drug prices by giving Medicare the ability to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies, a curious inclusion given the longtime progressive priority was left out of his first draft of the "American Families Plan," the legislation Democrats have teed up to follow their infrastructure bill. Whether his remarks were, as STAT News described them, "an empty call to action," or a signal that he was giving way and inviting pressure to change course is one in a growing collection of open questions facing progressives, who have been welcomed — literally — into the Biden White House.
But no amount of high-level meetings and robust, all-hours communication with progressive leaders can paper over the fact that the federal minimum wage remains unchanged, there has been no talk of expanding Obamacare to include a public option, as Biden proposed on the stump, or that a federal voting rights reform bill is stuck in the congressional muck. The Senate's 60-vote filibuster remains in place and Biden doesn't appear to have the appetite to pressure the moderate Democratic holdouts in the chamber, like Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Arizona's Kyrsten Sinema, to climb down from their positions in support of it.
And without cracking that lock, the "go big" mantra embraced by the White House will remain just that: sloganeering. Biden, of course, can only do so much. There are 50 Democratic senators, not 60 — like President Barack Obama had for a brief period after taking office — or closer to 70, which helped FDR and LBJ get their signature programs over the line. But the new left is different from the last generation of liberals. They are younger, generally, and cut their political chops in the unrelenting cauldron of movement politics. That movement has matured over the past few years, and now has, in Sanders, the Budget Committee chair, one of its leaders in a seat of remarkable influence.
None of this is news to the White House, which navigated those tensions in the run-up to the passage of the American Rescue Plan and avoided any headline-grabbing brinksmanship over issues like stimulus checks early on in the process. When the Senate parliamentarian ruled out a minimum wage hike to $15 an hour, effectively striking it from the legislation, progressives fulminated but never threatened to pull their support.
That understanding of Biden's domestic constraints and the left's selective engagement on contentious foreign policy issues, like continued US support for Saudi Arabia as it carries out a deadly war in Yemen, has been critical to the President's early success.
But there is a line between cooperation and capitulation — and as the next 100 days of the Biden presidency unfurl, progressives will need convincing that the President isn't daring them to cross it.

President Barack Obama is making Disney history today by becoming the fourth sitting president to ever visit a Disney theme park.
The President will appear at Magic Kingdom Park on official business to make a special announcement regarding U.S. travel and tourism before a crowd of invited guests and media. His visit will add him to the list of the few U.S. presidents who have visited a Disney park while holding office.
Here's a look back at some of those historic moments.
In November 1978, President Jimmy Carter became the first sitting president to visit a Disney park when he attended the opening session of the 26th World Congress of the International Chamber of Commerce meeting at Magic Kingdom.
President Ronald Reagan made two visits to Epcot during his presidency. The first took place March 8, 1983, where he appeared at the park to address international students who would work at World Showcase. The President returned in 1985 to hold his second-term inaugural celebration at Epcot, which included a parade around World Showcase.
President George H.W. Bush also visited Epcot, where he presided over the first Points of Light ceremony honoring volunteers for their service work, at the America Gardens Theatre in 1991.
You can watch a live-stream of President Obama's visit today at http://www.whitehouse.gov/live. Be sure to check the Disney Parks Blog later on for a recap of the event.

Electrical fire alarm systems
Electrical fire alarm systems
In office buildings, manufacturing plants, computer centers and other parts of buildings are always areas that have special value and therefore it is necessary to guard against fire. One of the biggest priorities is, of course, protecting people and property, but also important is the protection of immaterial values.
The device electrical fire system is a set consisting of exchange control, alarms and other supplementary facilities. The system records and evaluates the resulting fire in places of permanent operation, which makes fighting a fire in its early stage, where quick service call fire brigade to fires larger scale.

Wellness Tips for Employees
Using wellness tips for employees can be a great way to improve the health and happiness of your staff. A few ideas include providing rest breaks, arranging outdoor activities and introducing fitness challenges. Also, you can encourage mindfulness meditation, which can improve focus and attention.
Emphasize empathy
Creating a culture of empathy in your organization is essential for success. The benefits of empathizing with others include improved communication, building relationships, and resolving problems. It also improves employee performance.
Employees need to be able to feel understood and appreciated. If they feel like their feelings aren't being valued, they'll be less likely to do their best work. It's important to give employees a chance to get away from their work for a bit.
A study at Georgetown University found that rudeness and incivility at work affects employee performance. It can also impact customer service. The study was based on a survey of 844 workers in various sectors. The results showed that workplace incivility was on the rise.
As a manager, you'll need to ask yourself what you can do to better understand your employees. You may want to spend time in a staff meeting to discuss how you can help.
Encourage mindfulness meditation
Practicing mindfulness meditation as a wellness tip for employees can be a very effective way of improving both your employee's physical and mental health. Studies have shown that mindfulness can improve concentration, reduce stress, and promote creative thinking. In addition to being a great wellness tip for employees, it can also lead to increased productivity and engagement.
One way to introduce mindfulness into your workplace is to provide a quiet space. You can also use an office intranet to promote the benefits of mindfulness and spread the message.
Other options include sending out an email newsletter, sending guided …

Jon talks with with Dave Johnson, 15 years' general counsel for several Silicon Valley tech cos. Lecturer, Stanford Law School and Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford (a/k/a the d.school). Teaching Adv. Negotiation/Transactions, and Negotiation by Design.
David Johnson has been teaching Negotiation at SLS annually since 2006, in conjunction with his full-time practice of law in Silicon Valley from 1996 to date. In addition, he is a Lecturer in the Hasso Plattner School of Design (a/k/a "the d.school"), where he has recently completed the third instance of his new course, Negotiation by Design.
He has testified before the California Assembly on legislation addressing software liability. Thereafter he appeared before Congress, as lead counsel for the Business Software Alliance in hearings before the House Subcommittee for Science and Technology. He currently serves on the California State Bar Executive Committee on Alternative Dispute Resolution, and its subcommittee on Education and Inclusivity. David is a regular speaker at conferences, seminars and panels on various subjects in law, science and technology, as well as negotiation.
David brings to his teaching a unique blend of breadth and depth in the practice of law. He began his career in the courtroom, with over 20 civil trials, jury and bench, state and federal. He has briefed and argued a dozen state appellate matters, with 6 opinions issued, including one state Supreme Court argument challenging the prima facie constitutionality of a sales tax on commercial speech. More recently, he was appointed as Special Assistant Attorney General for the State of Washington in order to appear for the State before the Alaska Supreme Court in a case of first impression directly impacting all of Washington's state-owned hospitals.
In Silicon Valley, he has litigated scores of patent, copyright, trade secret, trade dress, antitrust, and business cases, and worked on corporate transactional and governance matters. First with Fenwick & West, and thereafter Morgan/Lewis, he represented an array of technology and business clients such as: Apple, Brøderbund, Cisco, Electronic Arts, Go Remote, Homestore.com, Intuit, Juniper, McKesson, Merrill-Lynch, Micron, Rambus, Sankyo Pharma, Sun, Symantec, Tibco, and The Computer History Museum, pro bono.
David's first General Counsel role was with Internet pioneer, AllAdvantage, blending online advertising, social media and user-data capture & mining. A Credit Suisse portfolio company pre-IPO, AADV ultimately fell victim to the crash. Thereafter, he took the reins as COO and GC of Palo Alto-based innovation accelerator MG Taylor, negotiating to closing their joint-venture-to-acquisition with Vanderbilt University Medical Center to create the nation's first Healthcare Innovation Center, installed and operating at Vanderbilt's Center for Better Health.
Remaining in Silicon Valley, David moved next into biotech, as Deputy General Counsel for Xenogen (NYSE: XGEN), which coupled innovations in genetic engineering and in vivo biophotonics, invented by Chris Contag, Stanford Professor of Microbiology, to create breakthrough improvements in cancer research. David co-managed Xenogen's public-public merger with Caliper Life Sciences (NYSE: CALP), a global microfluidics and lab instrumentation developer. Upon closing, he was brought over as Caliper's Deputy General Counsel.

ESCO is short for Energy Service Company. An ESCO is a professional business providing designs and implementation of energy savings projects (also called energy conservation measures) that allow building owners to perform projects to upgrade their building assets. The ESCO performs an in-depth analysis of the property, designs an energy efficient solution, installs the required elements, and maintains the system to ensure energy savings during the contract period.
An ESCO's services include[edit | edit source]
- developing, designing, and (sometimes) financing energy efficiency projects;
- installing and maintaining the energy efficient equipment involved;
- measuring, monitoring, and verifying the project's energy savings; and
- assuming the risk that the project will save the amount of energy guaranteed4.
These services are bundled into the project's cost and are repaid through the economic savings generated. Soft costs such as maintenance and training can also be included in performance contracts if they meet the time requirements for the return on the initial investments. ESCO projects are generally comprehensive, and thus provide an excellent match to just sustainability-based goals.
Examples[edit | edit source]
OVESCo was set up in 2007 by four people who meet through the Transition Town Lewes Energy Group. OVESCo has run the Lewes District Council renewables grant scheme since September 2007 and helped over one hundred homes install solar thermal panels, wood burning stoves, GSHP's, biomass boilers and PV panels. The company is working to convert to an Industrial and Provident Society so that the Lewes District Community can invest in renewable power generation projects. OVESCo's web site can be found at OVESCo

St. Catherine of Siena was an influential saint from the 14th century, and is known and beloved by many for her holiness and tenacity of spirit. She led a profound interior life as a member of the Third Order of St. Dominic and wrote many of her insights in what is now called her Dialogues.
One piece of advice she wrote about was the first step a soul must take in the spiritual life.
The soul, who is lifted by a very great and yearning desire for the honor of God and the salvation of souls, begins by exercising herself, for a certain space of time, in the ordinary virtues, remaining in the cell of self-knowledge, in order to know better the goodness of God towards her.
She explains that this path of knowledge not only revolves around knowing better who you are, but also who God is and his role in your life.
Furthermore, St. Catherine wrote down words of Jesus that were spoken to her in a private revelation that explain how self-knowledge and knowledge of God are intimately connected, with one complementing the other.
I reply that this is the way, if you will arrive at a perfect knowledge and enjoyment of Me, the Eternal Truth, that you should never go outside the knowledge of yourself, and, by humbling yourself in the valley of humility, you will know Me and yourself, from which knowledge you will draw all that is necessary.
St. Catherine adds that knowledge is always the first step in the spiritual life and naturally leads a person to the next stage.
This she does because knowledge must precede love, and only when she has attained love, can she strive to follow and to clothe herself with the truth.
Her advice is echoed in the Prologue of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
God draws close to man. He calls man to seek him, to know him, to love him with all his strength.
Knowledge of God normally precedes love of God, as we usually only love people after we get to know them.
Therefore, if you seek to begin your journey towards God, first try to get to know him through reading the Bible as well as the traditions passed on by his apostles through the official teachings of the Catholic Church.
Through this knowledge of God, we will better understand who we are and be prepared to embrace God in love.

Aksaray is a province near Cappadocia, in the Central Anatolian region. The province has many things to show in addition to wonderful surroundings. There are important historical buildings from Seljuk times, mostly from the 14th century, such as the Ulu Mosque and the Kizil (Egri) Minaret. The brickwork of the Kizil Minaret is elaborate. The Sultanhan caravanserai built by the Seljuk Sultan Alaeddin Keykubad I is well-preserved, and the Agzikarahan caravanserai is the second important and famous monument from the Seljuk period, both built on the Silk Road.
Aksaray is very close to the most frequently visited areas of Cappadocia, all of them on display to show natural beauties mingled with the mysticism of history. Viransehir (Nora), which was the military center of Byzantines and Romans because of its strategic position, carries historical remains from their times. Ihlara is a 14 kilometers (9 miles) long fascinating canyon, formed by the Melendiz River. In this valley there are several Byzantine rock chapels used by the early Christians, similar to the ones at Göreme valley, cut into the canyon walls and decorated with frescoes. From these chapels the Agacalti (Daniel) Church, the Yilanli (Apocalypse) Church, the Sümbüllü (Hyacinth) Church, the Purenliseki Church, and St. Georges Church are the most interesting ones. In the Güzelyurt valley, there are dwellings from the prehistoric periods and they are in an underground city form. In addition there are chapels and buildings carved into the rock. The Manastir valley, and the Sivisli Church which is one of the most interesting churches in the area, are the other attractive places.
One of the most spectacular views in Aksaray is the Hasan mountain, an ancient volcano, rising from the flatlands of Anatolia and touching some 3,200 meters (10,500 feet). It is a great spot for mountain sports fans such as climbers and trekkers.
Accompanying these you will also find guest houses, restaurants and good hotels in the region. Many tours for Cappadocia drive by Aksaray, visiting some of these sights.
On March 29, 2006, Total Solar Eclipse was seen in Aksaray at 14:00pm local time.

Former Gunner Gervinho is training alone after trying to force a move from Parma to Qatari club Al-Sadd at the end of the January transfer window.
Parma winger Gervinho is not one for settling in one place in his senior career so far. He spent two seasons with the Beveren first-team, Le Mans, Lille and Arsenal, three with AS Roma, two years with Hebei CFFC and one-and-a-half with Parma.
It seems the 32-year-old decided he'd had enough again in January, trying to push through a move to Al-Sadd in Qatar. He missed training on multiple occasions to force his current club's hand.
Parma and Al-Sadd hoped they could complete a deal on deadline day, but it didn't go through in time. As a result, Gervinho is stuck with his current club, and they're punishing his recent strike.
"After unjustifiably missing training repeatedly last week, Parma can confirm that Gervinho will follow an individual training plan under the orders of the club's technical staff," the club wrote in a statement.
Gervinho was having a decent season with Parma before this, bar a few minor injury concerns. He's up to six goals and three assists in 18 appearances. He only appeared for seven minutes in Parma's six games in 2020 so far though.
Whether there's a way back into the side after this, we'll see. If the winger works hard in training and looks threatening, he's sure to get another chance.

The ACT
The ACT is a multi-level venue located on the 42nd floor of the Shangri-La Hotel. This is one of the latest novel additions to the leisure dinning scene in Dubai which promises to be a hit for some time to come. Based on the 'dinner theatre' concept widely known in North America, The ACT brings a distinct dinning experience like no other in the region, but the venue is only open on Sundays and Thursdays.
Boasting a Victorian-era theatre design, VIP tables and private boothes surround the main stage while others complete the interior on two separate levels. Food has been given decent reviews by patrons, with a good variety of international flavours to appease everyone's palate. It seems stage acts are sparse leading up to midnight, and the place turns into a hopping night club after dinner is last served. A polarizing experience for some. Experience The ACT.

Keough School partners with US Department of State on conflict prevention research initiative
The University of Notre Dame's Keough School of Global Affairs will work closely with the U.S. Department of State on a new initiative that will enable students to conduct cutting-edge global conflict prevention research.
As part of the new Academic Centers of Conflict Anticipation and Prevention partnership, the department's Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations (CSO) has engaged several universities to provide supplemental research, analysis and data to enhance its ability to anticipate, prevent and respond to global conflict. CSO is charged with leading the formulation and implementation of conflict prevention and stabilization strategies, policies and programs.
The innovative partnership will provide undergraduate and graduate Keough School students with access to the Department of State's various databases and research tools, including its Instability Monitoring and Analysis Platform. Officials use the tool to monitor conflict risks and implement evidence-based policies to prevent conflict.
Students will work with Keough School faculty advisers as they conduct research projects on conflict-related issues requested by CSO. They will also develop professional skills and contacts to help prepare for future global policy careers.
"This partnership is a fantastic opportunity for our students to engage in proactive conflict prevention and make an impact on real-world policy by using their skills to analyze real-time data," said Maura Policelli, executive director of the Keough School of Global Affairs' Washington Office and associate professor of the practice. "It reflects the Keough School's ongoing focus and commitment to policy-relevant work that addresses critical global challenges."
Keough School students will begin their research in spring 2024 as part of a forthcoming class that will deal with conflict prevention issues, Policelli said.
Notre Dame was selected, in part, because of the Keough School's proven track record of policy-relevant conflict prevention work, most notably through the Peace Accords Matrix (PAM), a key initiative of the school's Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies.
PAM houses the world's largest existing collection of implementation data on intrastate peace agreements. Its database serves as a valuable source for analysis, which the Kroc Institute uses to support the negotiation and implementation of peace accords, including the historic Colombian peace accord.
The Keough School has also helped support the implementation of the Global Fragility Act, a whole-of-government approach to prioritize conflict prevention and transform partnerships to focus on peacebuilding and stabilization in fragile states. The school has long supported implementation of the act by arranging faculty briefings for the Department of State, convening expert panels and supporting student research that informs policymakers' work.
"CSO is thrilled to expand and deepen its engagements with the Keough School through this partnership," said Keith Noble, CSO's chief data officer. "This partnership represents a first-of-its-kind opportunity for students to work on real-world, conflict-related requirements to help the department address existing and emerging policy opportunities.
"Moving forward," Noble said, "contributions from the Keough School will help further CSO's ongoing efforts to support key U.S. government priorities in the conflict space to include the women, peace and security and climate agendas."
Other partners in the initiative include Florida International University, Georgetown University, George Mason University, the University of Alabama, the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Utah.

- Does Russia stand to benefit from climate change?There exists a narrative about climate change that says there are winners and losers — with Russia being one of the countries that stand to benefit from its effects. In a new study, researchers at the University of Notre Dame found that Russia is suffering from a variety of climate change impacts and is ill-prepared to mitigate or adapt to those climate impacts. And, as the rest of the world transitions to renewable energy sources, Russia's fossil-fuel-dependent government is not willing or ready to make alternative plans for the country, changes that could potentially benefit the whole of their society.

You are America's greatest contemporary artist.

Definitely a no fun house on BJ's hil.
Thanks for the ping, MiaT.
thx. ;)
she's repressed and rageful.
why pull Nixon in on it? He was the target and victim of the same goons that support the Clintons. If he was paranoid, he had the right to be.
One of your best, Mia!
Mia T --- ol' hilly walked right into to this one. Knew you would do this!!!!! Great One - Can't wait to read everything. Wow!!
"These Clintons gimme the willies!"
Nixon's function is more baseline than baseborn, i.e., if Nixon is the Left's "Night Creature," (and he is), then what must hillary clinton be? |
HILLARY IS NIXON-PLUS part 1 |
The book begins with a puzzle: How did the flower children fall for such a self-evident thug and opportunist? And it offers a possible hypothetical answer, which is that ''the Night Creature'' -- Nixon -- and his heirs and assigns could not ever possibly be allowed to be right about anything. When Eszterhas writes about Nixon, and his admirers like Lucianne Goldberg, he hits an overdrive button and summons the bat cave of purest evil. He hasn't read as much recent history as he thinks he has, or he would know that his forebears were mesmerized in precisely the same way to believe that Alger Hiss was framed. Thus does Nixon inherit an undeserved and posthumous victory. If by chance we ever elect a bent and unscrupulous Republican president, he or she will have a whole new thesaurus of excuses, public and ''private,'' with which to fend off impeachment. These ''bipartisan'' excuses will have been partly furnished by the ''nonjudgmental'' love generation. If Eszterhas had had the guts to face this fact, he could have written a book more like ''F.I.S.T.'' instead of ''Sliver.'' Christopher Hitchens |
Hillary is unique and compliments bj to a t.
sorry-- I guess my logic isn't that Bayesian.

Though there are lots of 3D printers in the market at present, each and every printer consists of significant qualities as well as features. If you don't have an idea about the 3D printer, that will be a disadvantage when buying a 3d printer for your use. Creality cr-10 3d printer is a nice and affordable type 3d printer with such qualities and here is the Creality cr-10 review.
Creality cr-10 3d printer was introduced to the market in 2017. There were some of the best qualities that a 3D printer has and it became one of the best 3D printers to the price you have to pay. The largest build volume, Cartesian model, separate control box-like features made this 3d printer a unique one in the field.
Creality cr-10 3d printer is sold by the Chinese company, Gearbest.
The print area for the printer is 300 X 300 X 400mm. If you have an idea about the build are, you will be able to understand how good this is. Though it is a Chinese company that does manufacturing, you will not have to bother about that as the company is a well-known company around the world.
When talking about the latest trends, many companies are trying to produce their latest 3D printers inspiring this. Creality cr-10 3d printer model because of its impressive design. If the volume is a matter of the limitation of the print, the manufacturer has probably done the right thing creating this 3d printer with a larger build volume.
Table of Contents
The Creality cr-10 3d printer
The manufacturer of the Creality cr-10 3d printer is Shenzhen Creality 3D technology, which has owned a name in the hearts of 3D printer users. It is a transparent producer in the field that has never got a mud patch on its name. So, you will not have to worry about the manufacturer at all. Though the Creality cr-10 3d printer was introduced to the market in 2016, it became more popular among the people in 2017 because of the high competition of the 3D printer manufacturers.
This design was developed from the cr-7 version and it has got a huge improvement from its previous versions. Adding a full-frame, improvement of the software, more reliability of the hardware, high build volume, and there are lots of things that have evolved from the previous and the earliest versions.
The integration of the control box is another change added by the developers. It is a nice example to state that having plenty of duplicate designs in the market as well as online selling top mention the popularity this Creality cr-10 3d printer has owned.
The Creality cr-10 3d printer has been designed on an appealing look that has got a very smooth finish in the end.
The body has been built using black coated aluminum rails in most of the parts.
The control box which is made separately with the filament holder. That has added a simple look as well.
Unlike the slender body parts it has got, Creality cr-10 3d printer is a giant when considering the build volume. It is not always about the huge build volume but space it has got to place its components. Though it is a huge printer, you will have to consider more and more factors to conclude your thoughts.
The placement of the Creality cr-10 3d printer is not going to be an easy one as it requires a bit high volume of space that is one negative thing that has to be revealed in this Creality cr-10 review. You will have to reserve some space for the printer. The smallest family member of Creality cr-10 3d printer is taller than an average-sized 3D printer.
If you can make some adjustments, you will be able to reduce the space the Creality cr-10 3d printer requires. As an example, you can move the filament holder off the control box and place it in a more spacious place. Then you can place the control box near the frame. When talking about the frame, it is a stronger one when comparing with the other models. The frame has been designed to ease future modifications to be made.
The huge build volume is an advantage in the features section you can see.
Unlike other low budget 3D printers, you will be able to get the prints of higher resolution blueprints as the 300 X 300 x 400mm is a really big value. All the members of these kinds of printers manufactured by the same manufacturer are known for the higher build volume.
Though there are different build volumes, you will see the difference between all these 3D printers, is the bed size. The nozzle size of the Creality cr-10 3d printer is 0.4mm and it has got all the things needed to submit you a perfect printed design.
The maximum resolution you can have is the 100 microns and that's really a fine value to get the full use of the 3D printer.
The company has assured that the board is favorable for the home uses as well as industrial uses. It can be taken for a continuous 200 hour lasting processes as well. So, you will not have to think twice if you intend to find a 3D printer for your own business. Also, Creality cr-10 3d printer review can assure you the words of the company as it is a trusted one in the field as well.
The Creality cr-10 3d printer has got a mechanism to spread the heat all around and that can be seen as an obvious advantage as well. There was not any encounter occurred during the process as well.
The connectivity can be obtained using the SD card as well as USB cable as well. That's really a cool thing that can happen regarding connectivity. It helps you to navigate your print-ready files with few steps.
The LCD screen was such an impressive thing found at the Creality cr-10 review and it is really comfortable for the eyes. The control wheel didn't take much time to operate and you will be able to do your navigation work pretty easily. The volts required to power up this device can range from 110 and 220 volts. That cool step can save the Creality cr-10 3D printer even at the international level.
- The standard print volume has been introduced with slight few changes from the previous versions
- Assembly is easy.
- Simple design with quite a few movable parts which are easy to handle
- Large prints are not far
- The glass on the print bed can easily be removed
- Stripes are very easy to handle
- Budget is not impossible
- The control box is innovative
- The LCD screen is a perfect instrument
- Extruder placement has been a bit weird
- Filament holder looks bit tangling
- Print preparation may take some time than rational
- Heat time for the bed is a bit longer than other 3D printers
- There are some materials that don't work-friendly with the 3D printer
This printer is a really good one for large scale prints as well as large scale businesses as well. If you are looking for a thing for your home from the same manufacturer, the mini model will have to be your choice.
Finding different materials that are not recommended, will almost cost you money as they can cause hardware losses in the end. Some materials were tested in the Creality cr-10 review and few of the filaments didn't work well this 3d printer. ABS was such a filament that it didn't work. If you are intending to go for a huge variation in the printing process, this fact will have to be reconsidered for sure. The average price for this printer is $400 and that's really a fair price for a printer that has a larger build volume.

On free day, it is a time for adventure. We all have fun traveling around the city of León, most people were viewing the city, buying souvenirs for their family and friends, or having fun with new found friends. People often go to the Plaza Central or the internet café. Free day was an important experience because it took a lot of responsibility to make sure everyone made it to lunch and dinner on time so that we wouldn't lose any of our free time experience in the future. There were many rules that we had to abide by, for example, we had to be back on time, not yell or be too loud as we roamed the town, wear close toed shoes, wear shorts past our finger tips, and take safe measures everywhere we went. Overall, people did a spectacular job and everyone complied with the rules. It was important because if you broke a rule it affected everyone else, so as leader of the day I had to keep everyone in check and encourage them to be responsible at all times.
It is important to have free days because we need a time to relax and cool down from our experiences. Freedom is important because it is much needed rest from our vigorous work and at times, emotionally draining experiences. An example of hard work was living like a local, it was a challenging experience but on free day we were able to whatever we needed to do to wind down and relax. Free day was also a perfect time to bond, talk to each other and connect with our new friends. Having this free day was a great time.
This is my first experience leading things and I could say that it is hard to keep track of where everyone was and have them on time to the wonderful restaurant by the name of Quiero Mas. We always had to be there 15 minutes ahead of time and I had to make sure all 22 people were present. The leadership role is very important and has a lot of impact on the future and a lot of the time people use it for their future jobs. For example, I would like to be a chef later on in life and it is important to understand how to lead people and make sure they don't make mistakes while cooking, but if they do make a mistake you know how to deal with that and correct it. Many other jobs rely on a leader to make them successful. So it is crucial that we have the experience to lead people in many other jobs.
Whenever I go out into the real world I now know that I can handle a more responsible role and experience of leading people. Having these elements in my arsenal of things for the real world will make me more prepared in life. It is great to have this experience of leadership and it is also amazing to be able to view a spectacular country like Nicaragua and have the tools to be able to do better in life. This 20 day trip is one of the best thing to happen for me and having a whole day to lead myself where I had to check on people and also talk to them have made this trip so fantastic. My time here has been one of the best and leading a day where people could do what they want has been fantastic. Everyone has bonded so well together and all had such a great time with each other it is amazing how getting rid of peoples phones can change how people act together.

Town gowns and skinny jeans — now THAT'S an interesting combination!
It's Friday again and you know what that means. I've long been a huge fan of Big Mama's Fashion Friday posts, so when she added a Mr. Linky-doo, I knew I had to join in. I am in no way a fashion expert, but I do have opinions. And I'm sure you do too, so please chime in with your 2 cents in the comments.
I'm going to hit a couple of topics today because I've had so many questions lately. I hope you'll keep 'em coming!
Jenn asks: What is your personal opinion of the town gowns Old Navy is advertising?
Photos by Old Navy
I say: Um. Mrs. Roper, anyone?
I actually hadn't seen these until last night when I was watching American Idol, and the ad came up. First of all, the ad is offensive and I am irritated on that basis alone. Second of all, the dresses? Eh. The maxi dress trend, as a whole, borders on housecoat. It's a look only a select few can pull off, and if that's you, more power to ya! But I have a feeling I'm going to be seeing a whole lotta them on people who should NOT be wearing them.
The biggest problem I see with Old Navy's "town gown" — aside from the overall unflattering nature of the silhouette — is that it looks cheap. It is definitely not a good look for me, or for most anyone over the age of 30.
Now, if you're young and hip and tall and thin and you want to give the maxi dress a whirl, go for something of quality. Like this.
Photo by Nordstrom
I'm still not entirely sure where one would wear a floor-length dress such as this, besides out to a trendy restaurant; it's certainly not practical for running around town chasing kids and unloading groceries (as town gown would suggest). But if you want to partake in the trend, I'd suggest looking somewhere other than Old Navy. (And I am generally a fan of Old Navy — just not this time.)
Next, Courtney says: You totally have to address the skinny jeans fad at some point.
I say: Skinny jeans fall into the same category as the town gown / maxi dress. It's a look only about 5% of the population can pull off well — and once again, it's the 5% that is tall and willowy and YOUNG. I'm not a huge fan of the look, even on people that wear them well. But it's treading on thin ice if you don't have the figure of a super model.
If you like the look of the skinny jean but you don't think you can quite pull it off, consider the straight jean.
I found this in my inbox a few weeks ago. It's from Banana Republic:
Straight Jean most flattering silhouette?
I have a few pair of straight jeans, and it's a way to get the modern look of the skinny jean without highlighting every lump and bump in your post-child-bearing body. Oh wait. Maybe that's just me.
While I like the straight jean quite well tucked into boots and also with flats, I still feel like I, personally, look better in a jean with a slight boot cut when I wear high heels. That's because I tend to be a bit, er, top heavy — that and I have hips. So having a slight flare in the pant leg helps balance me out.
See, here's the thing about pants. It's all about proportion. It really depends on YOU — your body shape and type. Stacy and Clinton are famous for telling their students that a pant should fit well at the hip and then go straight down from there — almost to the floor. (Never underestimate the importance of the right pant length.) That's the ideal fit. Now, for some, that may be a straight jean. For some, it may be a boot cut. For some, it may be a wide leg pant. It all depends on your body. And that is why the skinny jean only works for someone with the shape of a toothpick.
What do YOU say about town gowns and the skinny jean? Fashion do or fashion don't?

[With 30+ illustrations] The women made more control mistakes than the men – but also the women struggled with finding the good micro-routechoices in the World Cup middle distance race in Munkedal, Sweden Sunday. Helena Jansson (Swedish Orienteering Federation) won 1:41 minutes ahead of Nadiya Volynska (Ukrainian Orienteering Federation) with Emma Johansson (Swedish Orienteering Federation) in 3rd at 1:44.
Tove Alexandersson took the lead at the first control and stayed in front until control 4. Helena Jansson took over the lead at control 5 of 18 controls and kept it until the finish. Helena Jansson lost 30 seconds or less to the leg winner on all legs – that was least of all runners in this race. Helena Jansson won only 2 of 18 legs – but did less than half a minute of mistakes in total.
Looking at the splitsbrowser below one can see that Volynska had higher speed than Jansson in significant parts of the course (a slope going upwards means that a runner runs faster than the current leader – a slope going downwards means that time is lost). Wyder and Alexandersson were also on the same level on the control were they did not make mistakes. Jansson was however the most stable orienteer – and this made the victory nearly 2 minutes.
Leg by leg: Routes and Split times
Below the routes and split times (from the official split times) is shown for the Top 3 on each leg along with the Top 10 in the competition (except for Rantanen not wearing a GPS). A full text-based analysis is not provided here – but the illustrations tell more than 1000 words – and by studying these illustrations (and using the GPS-tracking as help in some places) there is a lot to be learned about how to tackle this type of terrain. A few short comments are provided for selected legs.
Leg 1: Hausken has a bad start and loses more than a minute already to the first control. This control was mostly about trusting the compass for the first half of the leg and then using the contour details to make it easy.
Leg 2: An easy leg – lots of nice features to orienteer on on the way. Mostly about running speed. Kauppi and Volynska lose some time here.
Leg 3: Quite easy control as there are a lot of features to orienteer on, but the ones chosing a simple solution are rewarded.
Leg 4: Run straight – and if you are off it is easy to use the contour details to steer you into the control. No trouble for our ladies.
Leg 5: The long leg was less problematic for the women than for the men. Jansson's direct route is the fastest – but you don't lose a lot of time by going left on the path. If Jansson would have taken that route it might even have been faster …:?
Leg 6: One of the legs making most trouble for the women. Tove Alexandersson was in a good flow and on the way to fight with Jansson for victory before she made this mistake. Minna Kauppi also lost a minute here after a good start. Interpreting the map wrongly and forgetting to use the compass seems to be the main cause for the mistakes becoming big.
Leg 7: A typical leg for this type of terrain where you have to be accurate with your orienteering – it gets especially tricky if you fall to far down in the slope. Kauppi and Alexandersson both lost time on the previous leg – and here they again lose 20-25 seconds.
Leg 8: A chance to rest the head by going right. Both variants are equal timewise – going right is probably an advantage to rest the brain and get time to read ahead.
Leg 9: Short leg were quite a few are inaccurate with the direction and loses some 15-20 valuable seconds.
Leg 10: Medium long route choice leg. By not going onto the road you lose some seconds. Judith Wyder runs high speed here, winning the leg with 15 seconds. Looks like there is nothing wrong with the physical shape!
Leg 11: The key to this control is to be accurate when going in to the white area from the road. By going straight on the leg (Kauppi) you make it more tricky for yourself as there is a risk to not find the white opening (or at least not be 100% sure you found it). Emma Johansson uses the more secure choice but still loses time. 50-60 seconds lost for these two.
Leg 12: Short leg to spectator control – actually you can lose some seconds here by not going direct.
Leg 13: Nice leg by the course setter. Nearly everybody lose time by going left – probably because all the men went there (to another control) and there was no good path in the grass straight? Bobach goes direct and wins the leg.
Leg 14: Quite easy leg, but Kauppi loses control and nearly 40 seconds.
Leg 15: Short quite easy leg, but Kinni and Alexandersson still lose 10-11 seconds.
Leg 16: Short and easy leg – Kinni still loses 20 seconds by chosing the wrong solution.
Leg 17: Like for the men – the runnability to the left is not the best and therefore you lose some more time than you can see from the map. But from the map it is quite clear that right is less risky.
Leg 18: Run! Impressive by Wyder to win the finish sprint with 3 seconds!
Selected time losses
Some time losses/mistakes of top runners are shown here to show decision points and which types of mistakes were made in this terrain. No analysis runner by runner is provided (but feel free to add one in the comments).

Are you planning on fitting new blinds but need to measure beforehand? Blinds help in controlling the temperature inside of rooms as well as adding a stylish touch to any room which they are installed in. Whatever it's roman, roller, Venetian or vertical blinds, here's a guide on how to successfully measure for new blinds externally and internally to help you achieve your desired look.
Before measuring anything, you will need to decide where the blinds will hang. To do this you will need to check to see if your window has a recess and choose whether you will decide to fit them outside or inside this space. Ensure that there isn't any obstruction or item preventing the blind from being fully extended such as phone sockets, handles, hooks or fixtures.
If you have a deep window recess, it will help to provide space for your new blinds to neatly fit inside for a sleek look. However, if you have a shallower recess or want to keep the inside space clear, you may choose to fit your blind outside the recess. If you're blind fitting without using a recess space, we would recommend that giving a 5cm (2") overlap on each side of your window and 10cm (4'') to the length measurement to help allow the blind to give excellent performance.
Time estimated to measure for Blinds: 15-20min
Internal blinds are fitted entirely within the window; inside the building to help protract heat and light from entering. There are 3 key measurements which need to be taken to ensure a successful fit
Step 1 - Using the tape measure, record measurements of the recess from left to right. These measurements will help to tell you the width of your blinds. Measure at the top, middle and bottom of the window to take into account any variations of measurements.
Step 2 - Measure from the top of the recess to the bottom and record measurements on the notepad, doing this will help to give you the length of your blinds. Remember to add at least 5cm to the recorded measurement to help to block out any light which may appear around the fabric. If measuring longer windows, ensure you're using a tape measure with a greater standout.
Step 3 - Measure the position of the bracket. Brackets on Internally fitted blinds can frequently be screwed into the top of the recess or top of the window frame. This will depend on the surface to which you would be drilling into as selected surfaces may require a connector/ plug.
Top Tip: When using a tape measure, always take measurements twice to help guarantee the measured figures are correct decreasing chances of mistakes.
Step 1 - Using a tape measure, measure across each side of the window, which will help to give you the width. Add an extra 10cm (4'') to the total width and allow 5cm (2'') overlap on each side of the window to block out any unwanted light.
Step 2- Once you have decided where you would like to the end of the blind to finish, measure the length from the top of the position of the bracket down to the desired finishing point.
Top Tip - Often, fitting blinds without a recess requires a track or bracket to be fitted above your window, fixed directly onto the wall or a wooden batten around 5cm (2'') above the window frame.
External blinds sit outside the window recess and are commonly known as London, Austrian and Roman Blinds.
Step 1 - Measure the position of the bracket at the top of the bracket, this is vital to do first as this will help to show the length of the blind. When fitting external blinds, your bracket can be often fitted to the wall around 4-5cm above the window recess. External
Step 2- Secondly, measure the width of the recess from left to right ensuring you're adding at least 5cm onto each side. Adding on the extra 5cm will aid in blocking out the sunlight from the outside.
Step 3 - Once you have measured the width and found the desired position of the bracket, measure the height of the recess twice, remembering to add on 5cm to the bottom and measure the distance to the top of the bracket.
Top Tip- If you aren't 100% confident with measuring space for blinds, consult a DIY specialist. Blinds and curtains can both help to brighten up and add character to a room so it's always best to avoid getting the measurements wrong at all costs. Suggest getting a second opinion from a friend/family member to assist and record their measurements to ensure all measurements are the same and that there isn't a variety of recorded measurements.
Choose blinds for a modern feel and practical option. Blinds are a practical option as well as stylish. They are suitable for busy room...
