Sushi delivery in Inverness
Many people discovered the sheer joy of munching on sushi many years ago, and have their established favourite rolls, sashimi and tempura. Others have yet to make the leap to trying this highly popular Japanese food. Chances are, you already have your favourite sushi restaurant in Inverness, and know exactly where to go to satisfy your craving. But what about eating restaurant-quality sushi in the comfort of your own home?
You could show off at a dinner party for your friends, furnishing them with loads of authentic Japanese sushi dishes to try. Or you could enjoy getting your chopsticks stuck into this healthy takeaway with your family or partner. Great for a romantic night in, too, sushi is the perfect shareable food to enjoy without the hassle of heading out to a restaurant. If this sounds right up your street, then we're delighted to make it happen.
What's on the menu?
Inverness: Simply special sushi found throughout the city
Simply order through our online menu listings for Inverness, and we'll wing your delivery to you as soon as we can. It's that simple – you get all the great food with none of the hassle. Or the washing up! So, get your chopsticks, soy sauce and wasabi ready and have a think about what you'd like to order. If you're not sure, we can help there too.
If you absolutely adore fish, then you should start with sashimi and nigiri. Sashimi is raw fish, served alone. The simplicity and the freshness of the product make this a delicious delicacy. Nigiri is sashimi on a square of sushi meshi, the sweet and mirin-infused rice that forms the basis of all sushi. You can find lots of different types of sashimi commonly listed, including ahi (tuna), hamachi (yellow tail) and hotate (scallop). Other types are cooked, including ebi (prawn) and tako (octopus).
To go along with (or instead of) your sashimi, there are loads of sushi rolls to choose from, including authentic Japanese dishes and those heavily influenced by American sushi (such as California rolls). There are so many sushi dishes to try, your only problem will be making the choice.

Creating a Climate for Learning: A Survey for Students and Teachers
How well a class functions is the result of both what the teacher does and what the students do. The way we solicit course evaluation feedback reinforces students' tendency to see the teacher as the one who's responsible for whether it was a good class. Teachers do play a significant role, but they don't make or break a class without a lot of student input. We need to be using evaluation activities that make clear that what happens in class is a shared responsibility.
Here's a feedback activity that highlights the roles played by teachers and students. It can be configured in a variety of different ways—three options are recommended here.
- Students can provide input on the conditions for learning created by the instructor.
- The instructor can provide input on how well students are functioning as a community of learners.
- The students can evaluate the course in terms of how it functions as a learning community.

PD Gladiators Metro Atlanta Fitness Network
"In the PD Gladiators classes, I don't have to feel conspicuous about my tremors, slowed movement, lopsided weakness, lack of coordination, poor balance, etc., because I know everyone understands. The fact that my husband is also welcome in the classes eliminates any excuses I might find not to go on my own. Classes range from gentle to very intense, so it's easy to find the right fit. And I have met some wonderful people, both class members and instructors."—Iris, R., Sandy Springs, GA
"I can't believe that at age 72 I can sustain this level of exercise and training. The Gladiator program is definitely responsible for my improved gait, fitness and balance. My wife who trains with me sees a big improvement. Kudos to all." –Vanard M., Mableton, GA.
The PD Gladiators Metro Atlanta Fitness Network is an affiliation of independent Metro Atlanta fitness instructors, the YMCA of Metro Atlanta, personal trainers, experienced volunteers with Parkinson's disease and care partners offering a package of PD-specific exercise classes and support that will help people with Parkinson's design a personal exercise program that is effective, fun and sustainable. As always, please consult with your doctors before beginning any new exercise program. The Network's offerings are growing but now include:
• Low-cost Exercise Programs Adapted for PD – Network classes are adapted for people with PD and their care partners and are conducted in a safe and supportive environment. All instructors have received PD-specific training. Our instructors have 50 weekly classes on the schedule, many of which can be performed seated or standing! Most classes offer one or two free trials with no advance registration required.
For an overview of the days, times and locations of all classes in one place, click the red button below to view the schedule (go to the CLASSES tab or a tab narrowing the schedule by region) or CLICK HERE or the green button below to search for classes in your area on a metro Atlanta map. But to learn more about each Network program–including intensity level, physical prerequisites, cost, class times, locations and free trials–click on the program's name below.
Ageless Grace (Brookhaven, Decatur, Druid Hills, Johns Creek)
Boxing Training for PD (Alpharetta, Kennesaw, Sandy Springs)
Dance for Parkinson's (Cumming, Newnan)
General Fitness for PD (Smyrna, most YMCAs)
Line Dance for Parkinson's (Cumming)
PD Group Cycling (Several YMCAs)
Tai Chi for PD (Decatur, East Cobb, Morningside, Snellville)
Yoga for PD (classes in East Cobb and Suwanee; home services in Forsyth, Fulton and Gwinnett Counties)
• PD Gladiators at the Y – The YMCA of Metro Atlanta is a sponsoring member of the Network. The Y is offering our registered users a reduced membership rate. Members will have access to free YMCA Parkinson's Movement Classes adapted for people with PD at almost all branches, as well as the one-on-one instruction, coaching and monitoring utilizing an exercise support process called THE COACH APPROACH® available to all Y members. CLICK HERE to learn more about the PD Gladiators at the Y program, view participating locations and class times or to join the YMCA of Metro Atlanta at a reduced rate. (You must use this link to obtain this rate!)
• Convenient Online Scheduling – Pre-registration is not necessary to attend a class, but optional online registration allows you to make reservations to save your slot if the class gets over-crowded, view your weekly schedule online, get convenient e-mail reminders and PD Gladiators newsletters, and keep track of your attendance. If you haven't registered for the Network yet, click HERE to learn more about the registration process (or contact us for assistance). If you have already registered and want to log-in to sign up for classes or view your account profile, click the red button above.
• Work One-on-One with a Personal Trainer – While we believe the supportive environment of group exercise classes is important for people with PD, many people prefer to exercise alone, can't fit the classes into their schedule or have specific needs that are not addressed by one-size-fits-all classes. Another option for continuing to exercise after discharge from physical therapy is to work one-on-one with a certified personal trainer. The trainers listed on our Certified Personal Trainers page are all members of the PD Gladiators Metro Atlanta Fitness Network and have received special training related to the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
• Gladiator Coaching/Physical Therapy – Contact us to discuss the optional assignment of a "Gladiator Coach"–an experienced person with Parkinson's disease or care partner who can help guide you through our programs, find community PD resources and offer encouragement and tips for living well with PD. A Gladiator Coach is not a substitute for a qualified medical professional. PD Gladiators recommends adding a physical therapist with a neurological specialization to your medical team. A physical therapist is uniquely trained to design an exercise routine that targets your specific motor impairments or works on preventive techniques. Please visit our Physical Therapists page to learn more, or to find a physical therapist specializing in movement disorders in your area.
• Transportation Assistance Available – If transportation issues are keeping you from exercising–Common Courtesy, a local nonprofit, is offering limited reduced-cost rides for people with Parkinson's disease. The program is made possible in part by a grant from the Georgia Chapter of the American Parkinson Disease Association. CLICK HERE to learn how the Common Courtesy program works and to download an application.

The University of Nebraska's Rural Futures Institute, is hosting the series of regional forums this fall aimed at identifying real world issues, showcasing success stories and sharing outcomes of RFI-funded projects targeting important challenges currently facing rural communities.
Registration is now open for the forums. Besides the North Platte location, other forums will take place on Thursday, Sept. 22 at the Nielsen Center in West Point and Wednesday, Sept. 28 at Chadron State College in Chadron.
A leadership team from each region is guiding RFI staff in shaping each specific forum. "The Rural Futures Institute is uniquely positioned to work with communities to develop real, futuristic solutions tackling some of rural America's most daunting challenges. Our goal is to help communities create their desired futures by connecting the dots between research, community and talent," said Chuck Schroeder, Executive Director of the Rural Futures Institute.
The day-long forums begin at 9:00 a.m. and conclude at 3:30 p.m. Registration is $25, which covers all activities, tours and lunch. The forums are open to the public and attendees are encouraged to come prepared to discuss issues, opportunities, innovative ideas and goals for their community or region and identify ways the Rural Futures Institute can partner or facilitate to achieve those goals.
"If we're to be successful, we need to continually communicate with our most important stakeholders –citizens whose energy, creativity and leadership is vital to the future of rural. These regional forums are a way to continue our dialogue about how we can work together to ensure a strong future for everyone," said Schroeder.
"We need to focus on leadership as a whole, not just one generation," said Megan McGown, VP of Economic Development and Director of Communications & Marketing at the North Platte Area Chamber of Commerce. "We must find and bring to the table those who want to focus on positive change," she explained while helping identify topics to address at the forums.
The regional forums will focus on energized leadership, growing economies and vibrant communities. At each forum, attendees will have the opportunity to hear from regional leaders about what they are doing to enhance business growth, engage young adults, expand educational opportunities and increase the quality of life for all generations.
Each forum will spotlight some of the RFI's award-funded projects of the past three years. Faculty from across University of Nebraska's four campuses, together with partners around the nation, are pursuing forty projects focusing on topics critical to rural people and communities, ranging from the shortage of mental health providers in rural areas, workforce development in rural communities and rural leadership and engagement to diversity, health, nutrition and the arts.
To get involved, plan to attend one of the 2016 Rural Regional Forums.

photo from Nascar.com
Tony Stewart made it official today. He will be driving the #14 Old Spice/Office Depot Chevrolet for Stewart-Haas racing in 2009. It's a good looking car, in my opinion. Tony looks extremely happy. He'll be driving the 14, which was his hero, A.J. Foyt's number. But one big question remains, which of course is who will Tony's teammate be next season?
Ryan Newman seems to be the odds on favorite at this point, according to everything I read and hear. Ryan recently announced that he and Penske Racing will be parting ways after 2008, and he has to be at least considering driving the #4 for Stewart-Haas. Other top drivers that might be in the running include Casey Mears, who will not be returning to Hendrick Motorsports next year, and possibly Martin Truex Jr., should he decide to part ways with Dale Earnhardt Inc.
This all means, regardless of where Ryan Newman goes, that the #12 Dodge of Roger Penske is an open slot too. I imagine David Stremme will most likely be in the car, but no one knows for sure. Casey Mears might also have a shot at that ride as well.
Tony Stewart leaving the #20 Toyota at Joe Gibbs racing leaves an empty slot too, but many people believe that the greatest thing since sliced bread, Joey Logano will be in the #20 Home Depot car next year, despite his tender young age of 18. Joey has already won in the Nationwide series though, and from what I've seen of his personality, he would be a perfect teammate for #11 Denny Hamlin and #18, Kyle Busch.
Personally, I'd love to see Casey Mears in the #4 next year. He and Tony share a love for racing all kinds of cars, and winning in them. Casey won at Charlotte last year, and though he and the 5 team just haven't seemed to click this year, I think Casey deserves a chance to redeem himself, and I can see him being a good fit with Tony Stewart. To me, Casey has always been a good, solid driver, who takes care of his equipment, and doesn't have a reputation for being rough on the track.
Ryan Newman would also be a good choice, of course. Ryan is one of the greatest qualifiers in the history of the sport, and if he's got good equipment, he could consistently put a Stewart-Haas car on the pole in roughly at least a quarter of the races each year. He's a race winner as well, but has not had much success since his Daytona 500 victory in February this year. Ryan might arguably be the least noticed Daytona 500 winner in recent years, but the fact that he has that particular race under his belt makes him a very attractive bet as a driver to put in the #4.
I like Ryan Newman, but he remains somewhat of an unknown to me. He is an intellectual, it would seem to me. He doesn't say much to the press, other than the obligatory thanks for his team and sponsors. I know that he and Rusty Wallace had a famous feud while they were teammates a few years ago, and I don't know exactly who was the instigator in that feud, or who might have been at fault. Before Newman drove for Penske, Jeremy Mayfield said a few things about the organization that got him kicked out of the #12 car. Of course, Mayfield said a few things about Ray Evernham that got him kicked out of the #19 car too. Mayfield seems to be contrite about that now, and wants another ride. Jeremy's won some races too, so he might be a viable candidate for one of the open slots next year as well.
But, getting back to Ryan Newman, all I know is that he says very little. I have a hard time reading him, when it comes to teammate potential. I think most of us can agree that Rusty Wallace can be a bit of a jerk at times, but was he, a veritable legend in the sport, such a jerk, that a young driver like Ryan Newman lost all respect for him? Or was Ryan just conceited to begin with, and doesn't have much respect for drivers who have accomplished much more on the track than he has? That remains an unknown to me, because Ryan just doesn't give me much to work with. He seems like a nice enough guy, but what is he like when the cameras and microphones are out of range? I hope that in Ryan's case, it's a matter of what you see is what you get. Maybe he's just a quiet, thoughtful guy, who shuns being the center of attention. If that's so, there's absolutely nothing in the world wrong with that.
I'm not going to make any predictions here. Ryan seems to be very likely to end up in the #4 car next year. Personally, I believe that Stremme might end up in the #12. That might leave a gap at Ganassi Racing, but they've had sponsorship troubles anyway. Rumors have been floated that Juan Pablo Montoya might be leaving Ganassi as well, so there are too many drivers, too few or too many rides, and my feeble brain can't get a handle on much of it.
A part of me would like to see Jeremy Mayfield get back into Cup racing somewhere. If he goes out and charges hard, like he's perfectly capable of doing, he could be a contender to drive for a top team in a year or two. If Jeremy has truly conquered his habit of foot in mouth disease, I think he could be a valuable to asset to any team.
Another high profile open slot is of course the #33 Chevrolet, which will fill the 4th and final Cup slot at Richard Childress Racing. For some reason, which I have no idea how to explain, I see Martin Truex Jr. in that car next year. I guess that because Martin Truex Jr. is a friend of Dale Earnhardt Jr., and knowing how close Richard and Dale Jr. are, I can see Richard giving Martin a ride. I don't know if that will happen, of course, but I can see it possibly happening. David Stremme and Casey Mears have likely been thought of to take that ride as well. If I'm Scott Wimmer, who has been acting as somewhat of a test driver for Richard Childress Racing over the last couple of years, and has seen some success in the Nationwide series in an RCR car, I'd be pulling my hair out, wondering if I were going to get the nod from Richard. If the world were a fair place, Scott probably should get that ride, but since there are considerations such as sponsors and points, and all those other unfair things, I don't know exactly what Scott Wimmer's chances are for that ride. Scott's previous experience as a Cup driver was decidely unglamorous.
Ah, tis summertime, and the Silly Season is in full bloom.
Ain't it grand?

Ronnie Wood to front new TV show
- Bang Showbiz
- 29 July 2011
Ronnie Wood will launch his first ever TV programme 'The Ronnie Wood Show' on Sky Arts 1 HD next year, based on his radio show
Ronnie Wood will launch a music programme based on his radio show next year.
The Rolling Stones rocker and Absolute Radio DJ - who won the Music Personality of the Year prize at the 2011 Sony Awards - has teamed up with Sky Arts 1 HD to create 'The Ronnie Wood Show', which will see him joined in the studio by a series of well known guests from the music industry for interviews and performances.
Speaking about his first ever TV show, Ronnie, 64, said: "I've had so much fun doing my radio show and had lots of success with recent awards, so I'm really excited it's now going to TV to give the audience the chance to see behind the scenes."
Jez Nelson, Chief Executive Officer of Somethin' Else - which will produce the show - said: "We came up with the idea for the radio show with Ronnie a year ago; now that it has become an international radio hit, and won a number of awards including a Sony Gold, it is the right time to look at taking it to the next level - transferring it on to TV. While the idea of taking a radio show to TV is unusual, we think fans will find it compelling. We're really happy Sky Arts have commissioned this; the channel is really going places and it feels like a natural home for this innovative and entertaining format".
DJ Jo Whiley will also front a show for the channel 'The Jo Whiley Music Show' with James Hunt, Channel Director of Sky Arts commenting: "Jo and Ronnie are both wonderful assets to Sky Arts and we're delighted to have them on board.
'The Ronnie Wood Show' will air on Sky Arts 1 HD in February 2012 while 'The Jo Whiley Music Show' will premiere on the channel in October 2011.

Ms. Tieu Yen Trinh, General Director of Talentnet Corporation
Vietnam's economy is now on the rebound. Although they may not be overly apparent, there have been many positive changes. The country's labor market has also witnessed positive signs thanks to the recovered economic dynamism.
Recruitment demands from organizations lifted in 2014, especially in Hi-Tech, Manufacturing and Retail, while other industries such as Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), Pharmaceuticals and Banking fluctuated slightly. Hiring demand increased among both foreign and large local companies. In the meantime, the trend of hiring local managers and executives has been increasing, as many Vietnamese have proven they are capable of taking on country manager positions at the affiliates of multinational companies (MNCs) in Vietnam. "Hot" functions in 2014 remained unchanged from previous years, being in Sales and Marketing.
Total Remuneration
According to the Mercer Total Remuneration Survey 2014, conducted among 473 organizations by Mercer and its associate, Talentnet, the average salary increase rate in 2014 at MNCs was 10.3 per cent while that of local companies was 9.7 per cent. Normally the gap in the salary increase rate and variable bonus between MNCs and large local companies is negligible, at around 0.5 - 1.5 per cent.
The highest salary increase rates were in Hi-Tech (11.4 per cent), Pharmaceuticals (11.1 per cent), and FMCG (10.7 per cent), which are three industries involved in meeting the daily basic demands of consumers. Non-Banking, Oil & Mining, and Real Estate had the lowest salary increase rates, at 6.8 per cent, 8.4 per cent and 9 per cent, respectively.
Regarding variable bonus, Banking, Pharmaceuticals and Non-Banking saw the highest while the lowest was in Hi-Tech, Real Estate, and Trading.
Pharmaceuticals therefore recorded both the highest salary increase rate and variable bonus increase rate in the labor market. On the other hand, Hi-Tech and Non-Banking had the highest salary payment - lowest variable bonus and lowest salary payment - highest bonus, respectively.
AEC integration
Vietnam is welcoming new waves of foreign investment, with the proportion of capital coming from Asian and Southeast Asian countries such as Japan, Thailand and Malaysia increasing significantly. Concurrently, Vietnamese enterprises are making plans to expand and develop their businesses around the region, in countries such as Myanmar, the Philippines and Cambodia. Trade will become more and more facilitative, especially as Vietnam officially joins the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in 2015.
In developing countries, where there is higher labor mobility and market flexibility compared to countries like Vietnam, workers have more occupational choice; talent is always scarce while demand among businesses are always high. Therefore, joining the AEC is seen as being a catalyst for both businesses and workers, creating interaction with external markets and resolving existing knots and difficulties.
So what benefits will Vietnamese workers receive from AEC membership as it turns Vietnam into an open market and lifts almost all barriers between businesses within ASEAN?
Firstly, it is clear that Vietnamese workers will not only have opportunities in Vietnam but also in regional markets. Secondly, Vietnamese workers will have a greater opportunity to interact with professionals in neighboring countries and at the same time enhance their experience and polish their skills. Thirdly, worker mobility, which is inherently not one of Vietnam's strong points, will be improved and enhanced considerably.
Meanwhile, Vietnamese businesses will benefit from this economic integration with regard to human resources (HR), as follows: (i) due to being an open market, human capital from neighboring countries will also find working opportunities in Vietnam, leading to an abundant workforce, (ii) labor supply will increase, with more variety and diversity, and (iii) businesses will have an ample choice of skilled and experienced candidates, bringing a refreshing change to the company.
Nevertheless, the AEC not only expands opportunities for businesses but also brings challenges. Many people are concerned that Vietnamese businesses will have to face "brain drain". Great people will leave, finding jobs at other companies with better policies and higher salaries. Businesses must therefore prepare with extra caution when Vietnam officially joins the AEC.
Preparations for regional integration
Expanding recruitment to foreign candidates can only be utilized most effectively if a business has standardized systems and processes in order to create an easily adaptable environment for any nationality or culture.
Communication and mental preparation for higher management levels, which are key subjects of a business regarding multicultural integration, are necessary. There should be a long-term program at companies in order for managers and leaders to enhance and equip themselves with knowledge, with "eye-opening" opportunities at the regional and international level. Innovative retention schemes are needed to retain talent amid fierce competition. On top of that, businesses should invest in their HR management and IT systems and have solid financial foundations and management systems, etc., to fully grasp their position when joining the AEC.
Market understanding
Businesses must clearly understand their strengths and weaknesses, their culture, and their expectations over recruitment demand to have proper HR planning and resourcing, as not every foreigner can work well in all positions.
To retain talent a business must fully understand the strategy and strengths of other firms and ascertain the strengths and competitive advantages of their own business in order to adopt justifiable employee retention policies.
Information regarding compensation and rewards for foreign candidates, compared to that for Vietnamese, in accordance with differences in living standards and cost of living, must be carefully researched through the many methods available, such as international salary survey companies, in order to find an appropriate salary rate while still attracting talent and delivering a clear and transparent message for candidates.
Working methods of foreign workers in neighboring countries must be analyzed, as well as their expectations while working in Vietnam, in order to create efficient resource allocation. Information regarding paperwork, labor laws for foreigners, working visas, etc., are also issues worth investigating.
The general tendency of advanced countries is to work and cooperate closely with a trusted partner or under advice from experts. Joining the AEC is not a trend; businesses have solid preparations and definite steps to take. Working with specialized consulting agencies will help businesses determine their needs and gain an awareness of the total cost of foreign labor and their contribution to the business. In addition, issues concerning procedures and information on labor laws, paperwork, administrative tasks, etc., must be acquired, as well as communication; what the strengths of the Vietnam market and the working environment are must be sufficiently imparted to both businesses and workers.
As such, it is evident that the AEC will open up new horizons regarding workforce, as labor supply will escalate and labor quality will also increase. However, the AEC will also present great challenges for businesses in talent retention. In order to "sail out to the big sea", businesses must first understand themselves, identify their strengths and points that need improvement regarding employment needs, and develop suitable HR strategies to maximize opportunities from the AEC while still ensuring their competitive advantage. Businesses must invest in HR management, improving training programs to expand the vision of their higher management levels when joining the AEC.

Cory Booker's Food Stamp Falsehoods
Newark Mayor Cory Booker, who once appeared to be a different kind of leftist politician, is instead demonstrating that there really is no such thing as a different kind of leftist politician -- at least when ambition takes over.
That's too bad. In May, his fellow Democrats, especially including President Barack Obama, made the savaging of GOP challenger Mitt Romney's successful career heading up private equity firm Bain Capital a centerpiece of their campaign strategy. At first, Booker pointedly rejected the critique, observing: "I live in a state where pension funds, unions, and other people invest in companies like Bain Capital ... they've done a lot to support businesses [and] to grow businesses."
But in the first sign that his aspirations reach far beyond New Jersey's largest city and that he won't let little things like his own personal convictions and proven facts intervene, Booker backed away from his remarks in the face of withering criticism, saying that it was "reasonable" for the Obama campaign to go after Romney's business record. In practical terms, this meant that Cory was copasetic with Obama, his surrogates, and fellow party members lying shamelessly about that record to win an election.
Booker's latest stunt, one which has enabled him to gain nearly instant national prominence, is his participation in the bogus "Food Stamp Challenge."
To be clear, such challenges, if properly designed, could be worthwhile exercises, potentially serving as vehicles for helping financially strapped Americans make wiser, more nutritious, and thriftier food choices. Unfortunately, that's not at all what the Food Stamp Challenge is about. Instead, the Food Research & Action Center (FRAC) promotes it to "help raise awareness of hunger in your community and the need to keep SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the government's official name for food stamps) strong." That translates in real life to "doing everything we can to keep food stamp benefits on their current expansionary, budget-busting path." Proof that my assessment is correct is found in FRAC's most recent research paper, which sets out to convince America, the worldwide leader in obesity, that the USDA's "Thrifty Food Plan" framework for determining benefits, which has been in place for decades, is woefully inadequate and that the government should therefore increase monthly food stamp benefits for a family of four by over 30%, or almost $200.
FRAC's Food Stamp Challenge is supposed to prove "how difficult it is living on the average daily food stamp benefit" of "about $4 per person per day." Booker used just under $30 as his full-week financial constraint, and predictably concluded his endeavor by calling for a "just and sustainable food system."
The Stanford- and Yale-educated Booker should know that the most just and sustainable food system ever devised goes by the name of "Walmart."
By totally revamping how groceries are distributed, sold, and tracked, forcing its competitors to imitate them or die, and constantly pushing the low-price envelope, the company has saved and continues to save American families untold billions of after-tax dollars. Except in places like Newark, where self-appointed social activists are determined to prevent its appearance.
Both FRAC and Booker conveniently ignore what the "S" in "SNAP" stands for: "Supplemental." The USDA's "Fact Sheet on Resources, Income, and Benefits" clearly explains why challenge participants limiting themselves to $28-$30 a week are being disingenuous:
The amount of benefits the household gets is called an allotment. The net monthly income of the household is multiplied by .3, and the result is subtracted from the maximum allotment for the household size to find the household's allotment. This is because SNAP households are expected to spend about 30 percent of their resources on food.
As has been the case for the five-plus years I've been following the challenge, FRAC and other leftist advocates have deliberately ignored how the food stamp program really works. The following shows how much a household with no other available resources will receive in monthly benefits during the current fiscal year (converted to weekly by yours truly for comparative purposes), and what those levels were six years ago:
Note that Maximum Monthly Allotments have increased by 29% in six years. During that time, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, food costs have risen roughly 20%.
The mayor's "challenge" obviously should have been how to get by on $46.03 a week. That's easy, especially for a vegetarian like Booker:
- Seven 15-ounce cans of various generic or store-brand vegetables should cost no more than about 80¢ each, for a total of $6 (rounded). Each can supposedly has 3.5 servings, but since Booker is an ex-football player, I'll assume that each can will only last him two meals. That's 14 meals, or enough for a full week of lunches and dinners.
- Seven 15-ounce or 20-ounce cans of generic or store-brand fruits averaging $1.25 each will cost $9 (rounded). That's also enough for all required lunches and dinners.
- A gallon of milk and a gallon of orange juice come in at a combined $7 or so, enough to provide a 12-ounce serving of one or the other for all 21 weekly meals.
That leaves $24, which is surely enough to provide for all breakfasts and anything else Booker wants to add to his lunches and dinners, including more generous servings of fruits and vegetables. Meat-eaters could spend about $7 for seven cans (14 servings) of heat-and-eat canned pasta and still have $17 left for all breakfasts.
Astute shoppers certainly recognize that my individual cost figures are far higher than one will pay if they shop aggressively. Additionally, I didn't even look at substituting often cheaper fresh fruits and vegetables or at purchasing in bulk. I daresay that frugal Walmart shoppers could easily feed themselves adequately in most parts of the country on less than $35 a week, and far less than $200 a month.
If FRAC and others have specific problems with how the formulas reducing the Maximum Monthly Allotments work, they should tell us what they are. But they won't.
Instead, they want to make sure that everyone knows which states don't even have an asset test any more -- a loophole which allowed an Ohio couple with $80,000 in the bank and a paid-off house to collect benefits in 2009 -- and which ones have stretched the program's gross income test to up to 200% of the federal poverty level. Loosened program eligibility rules large explain why food stamp program participation continues to grow -- up by over 870,000 participants in August and September alone -- even as the still too high unemployment rate has been dropping. And of course, advocates fail to account for the fact that millions of households enrolled in the food stamp program have kids who double up on meal coverage by receiving free school breakfasts and lunches.
Cory Booker's opportunistic Food Stamp Challenge participation was all about positioning himself to seek higher office, either as the Garden State's next governor or U.S. senator. It's not unreasonable to believe that he has eyes on eventually seeking the presidency. The last thing the country needs is yet another unprincipled liberal wolf in moderate sheep's clothing in the White House.

On the Alpine route with one of the best cars of 2017: RAY MASSEY gets behind the wheel of the reborn Alpine brand's eagerly-awaited A110
- Prices for the first-edition Alpine A110s range from £50,000 to £52,000 but later models will cost £45,000
- The A110 is a 2-seat, mid-engined, rear-wheel drive sports car with a 1.8-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder motor
- It can accelerate from 0 to 62mph in 4.5 seconds and up to a top speed electronically restricted to 156mph
- We tried the car on the sweeping roads in the mountains of southern France and on track near Marseilles
Fans of traditional two-seater compact sports cars rejoice.
Just in time for Christmas, there's a new kid on the block – or rather back on the block - the Alpine A110 and after an absence of more than two decades the brand is bringing back smiles for motorists who just love the true joy of driving.
And as the first real snows of winter blow in, how fitting that it's called Alpine and is designed for fun and frolics on mountain roads.
I took to the wheel of the new A110 to see if it really has what it takes to dethrone the Porsche Cayman as the best two-up coupe on the market today.
Scroll down for video
Does the A110 get an A+? Daily Mail motoring editor Ray Massey spent some time at the wheel of Alpine's new two-seat sports car in the not-so-sunny South of France
For most younger drivers outside of France, the Alpine is probably the most exciting car you've never heard of: like the late Johnny Hallyday, it's a much-loved domestic institution.
So barring a hard-core of sporting enthusiasts and car nuts, it's unlikely that memory of the original Alpine will evoke the same emotional tug at the heart-strings in Britain that it clearly does in its native France.
But if they play their cards right, the creators of the new 21st century reincarnation of this lightweight sports coupe should cause a similar stirring in Blighty with a little belter of a car that will export well to the UK and beyond.
French parent company Renault may have a mountain to climb in seeking to relaunch not only the Alpine brand - pronounced 'Al-peen' - but also the first new car to bear its badge for a generation: the Alpine A110.
But for those who think fondly of Britain's sporty MGs and Lotus Elan, it delivers similar real engagement for the driver that should even make Germany's Porsche feel a little twitchy.
But the Cayman isn't the only car under threat from this svelte French number - the Abarth 124 Spider, Alfa Romeo 4C, Audi TT RS and Jaguar F-Type are all on Alpine's hit list.
I took the reborn Alpine A110 for a spin in the mountains and on the track near Aix-en-Provence, in southern France, to discover if it's more than an equal to its competition. And as if inspired by the name, the weather produced some unseasonal frost and snow, making conditions wetter, colder and more slippery than expected.
The French brand Alpine - pronounced 'Al-peen' - has been reborn by parent company Renault after two decades
The mid-engined, rear-wheel drive Alpine A110 has a 1.8-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine developing 252hp
Ray Massey took the reborn Alpine A110 for a spin in the mountains and on the track near Aix-en-Provence in Southern France
The two-seater Alpine coupe really is a car to put a smile on your face by making driving fun again.
It makes no pretence of being the fastest nor the most luxurious sporty coupe. But it does aim to please both on the road and on the track and is the perfect antidote to the cult of self-driving autonomous cars.
The mid-engined, rear-wheel drive Alpine A110 is powered by a 1.8 litre 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine that develops a meaty 252 horse-power, linked to a 7-speed dual clutch automatic gearbox with manual paddles on the chunky steering wheel.
That helps it accelerate from rest to 62mph in just 4.5 seconds up to a top speed electronically restricted to 156mph. There's no manual but the paddles do the trick.
Drive the new Alpine around France and, when you pull in, you are suddenly accosted by fans of a certain age with a dreamy faraway look on their face.
It happened to me when I stopped randomly at a kiosk for a quick coffee in Provence. Jean-Claude told me he had owned an original Alpine and reluctantly sold it – an act he regretted to this day. Overcome with emotion when I let him sit inside, he was lost in a total reverie.
The svelte two-seater can accelerate to 62mph in just 4.5 seconds and up to a top speed electronically restricted to 156mph
The Alpine brand might not be all that well known here in the UK, but in France it's an iconic badge that demands plenty of attention from locals
The design is a modern twist on the original Alpine A110 Berlinette from 1962 to 1977. Slide the image to see how similar the two cars are
The svelte retro styling is a contemporary update of the lovely Alpine A110 Berlinette from 1962 to 1977. It's also flying the Flag for France and has the Tricolore displayed on the rear pillars.
Its exterior aerodynamics include a flat underbody and a rear diffuser which means there's no need for a rear spoiler to keep it glued to the tarmac.
Will it fit in my garage?
Alpine A110 Premiere Edition
Price: £50,000 - £52,000
Length: 4180mm
Width: 1798mm
Height: 1252mm
Weight: 1,103kg
Engine: 1,796cc 4 cylinder 16v turbocharged
Power: 252 horse-power
Top speed: 156mph
0-62mph: 4.5seconds
Fuel consumption: 46.3mpg (average)
Gears: 7-speed dual clutch automatic (with manual paddles)
Fuel tank: 45 litres
CO2 emissions: 138g/km
Boot capacity: 96 litres (front), 100 litres (rear)
Tyres: 18 inch Michelin Pilot Sport 4
Air inlets around the front bumper create what Alpine calls a 'curtain' around the front wheels, which are shod with relatively narrow tyres, to reduce drag and improve airflow.
The reborn French brand has sought successfully to capitalise on the same core elements that made the original Alpine successful in the 1960s and '70s - compact size, lightweight aluminium platform and a low centre of gravity.
It's designed and engineered to be a delight on twisty mountain and country roads and on the track, but also a comfortable everyday coupe that, it says, 'allows drivers to feel at one with the car' and to be 'true to the original's DNA'. And they've succeeded in creating an agile and exciting car that delivers real pleasure.
Weight has been shaved off at every opportunity. The two specially created and supportive one-piece Sabelt sports seats weigh 13.1kg each. And incorporating the parking brake into the main rear calliper saves 2.5kg.
Fuel consumption is kept to an average 46.3mpg with pretty low CO2 emissions of 138g/km - not bad for a sports car that can clock 62mph in less than five seconds.
Suspension has been specially designed to keep the maximum amount of rubber from the tyres rooted to the ground, even on tight curves.
As the car rolls during cornering, the double-wishbone suspension rolls with it to keep the bottom of each tyre flat to the road surface, thus boosting grip and reducing the risk of a slide.
A spokesman explained: 'The harder the car corners, the more firmly the tyres are pressed into the road surface and the more grip they generate.
'We don't have to fight the roll of the car in cornering, which means we can use relatively light springs and anti-roll bars.
'That means the car rides really well even on a very bumpy road. The sensation in cornering is like that of carving on skis- the harder you push, the more grip you have.
'This makes the car fun and rewarding to drive even at low and medium speeds for drivers at all levels of ability.'
The plush interior is adorned with tricolore flags and beautifully stitched seats and interior panels
Nothing says sports car with rally heritage more than a steering wheel with a dead-centre stripe to inform the driver when the front wheel are straight as they're gliding across a gravel surface sideways
The fit and finish of the Alpine interior is of an extremely high standard - this is by no means a cheap and cheerful French car
Getting in and out is a good workout on the abs for many of the likely customers' age profile.
It's a cosy cockpit style interior with loads of leg room and space even for wearing a helmet thanks to the double-bubble roof.
A floating divide between the seats has a small space for plugging in and charging up a phone or holding some loose change.
You won't want to over-pack but the compact coupe will take more than a tooth-brush.
Packed side-by-side the 100-litre storage space in front will take a pair of modestly-sized airline carry-on cases, while the smaller 90-litre space under the bonnet will cater for two full-face helmets and a small overnight bag.
Fire up the engine and then you choose one of three driving modes – Normal, Sport and Track. In normal mode it's a pretty relaxed but still spirited drive. Driver aids include anti-lock ABS, traction and stability control.
Move up to Sport and you feel the throttle response, gear-shift, and steering physically sharpen, as well as hear a gutsy and satisfying rumble from the exhaust.
It's a more exciting and dynamic drive and great fun in this setting, with the go-cart style of a MINI or Caterham 7.
With each setting, the 10-inch digital dashboard screen also changes so that, in Sport and Track modes the rev counter and gear display are more prominent.
Ray Massey said the double-bubble roof provided enough headroom for taller drivers, even if wearing a race helmet on track
Our man compared the driving dynamics to that of a MINI or Caterham 7 - there are few better handling affordable road cars on the planet than those two
Better track drivers on the launch gave glowing reports about the balance and overall performance of the new Alpine
Out on a private racing track near Marseilles there was the chance to try the Track mode that allows more wheel slip. The electronic stability control can also be disabled.
Frankly, I'm not a racing driver but even I got a kick going around what was quite a tight and slippery circuit. But better track drivers than I am were positively beside themselves with joy.
Priced from £50,000 to £52,000 (depending on exchange rate), just 1,955 of the initial Alpine Premiere Edition models are being built and they sold out within five days after reservation applications were allocated via a mobile app.
The number echoes the year – 1955 - that the firm was founded by Renault car-dealer Jean Redele – at the firm's original boutique factory in Dieppe which he created 1969. Renault has used the factory for small volume racing-inspired cars since it pulled the plug on Alpine in 1995.
Main production - in trim levels Pure and Legende costing from around £45,000 – is to follow from the middle of the year. Sadly bosses insist there won't be an open-topped cabriolet version of this car.
Prices for the at-launch 'Premiere Edition' cars range from £50,000 to £52,000, though the models available after will be more affordable, ringing in at around £45,000
The new Alpine A110 is a fitting tribute to the original and is a worthy rival to the Porsche 718 Cayman - as long as buyers give it a chance
Everything about the new A110 design harks back to the car it is based on , even the headlight arrangement is replicated
The new A110's vim, verve, and nimbleness on the track reflects Alpine's racing and motorsport pedigree, which it aims to emulate, including winning the 1973 World Rally Championship and the 1978 Le Mans 24-hour epic.
The project to revive Alpine was announced in 2012, with a prototype unveiled in Monaco in 2016 ahead of the current first car making its motor show debut earlier this year.
Seven Alpine dealerships are opening in the UK to sell right-hand drive models, including London, Manchester, Birmingham and Scotland.
Alpine's chief test and development driver Laurent Hurgon said: 'You don't have to be a racing driver to enjoy the A110 and you don't have to drive very quickly for it to be thrilling. It is also very comfortable to drive every day.
'It's a road car, but because it is so light and agile it is very good to drive on the track as well. You can use this car to drive to work, to have fun on some mountain roads and also on the circuit.'

A Scam Email with the Subject "FROM:MR FIDEL FERNANDO." was received in one of Scamdex's honeypot email accounts on Sat, 16 Jun 2007 02:49:14 -0700 and has been classified as a Advance Fee Fraud/419 Scam. The sender was "MR FIDEL FERNANDO" <firstname.lastname@example.com>, although it may have been spoofed.
FROM:MR FIDEL FERNANDO. REAL ESTATE MANAGEMNET SEN-AVDAS NACOES LOTE, BRAZIL. My Dear, As you read this, I don?t want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday.My name is Mr. Fidel Fernando, a merchant doing business in Asia and middle East. I have been diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer, which was discovered very late, due to my laxity in caring for my health. It has defiled all forms of medicine, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to edictal experts in a private clinic here in London, where I am presently lying on my sick bed waiting for death.I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone not even myself but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focus on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this, as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I will live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members and as well as a few close friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul and so, I have decided to give arms to charity organizations in the U.A.E, Algeria, Indonesia, India and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself any more. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money, which I have there to charity organization and to the less privileged in Bulgaria and Pakistan; they refused and kept the money to selves.Hence, I do not trust them any more, as they seem not to be contented with what I have left for them. The last of my money, which no one knows about, is the huge cash deposit of Fifty Six Million US Dollars that I have, deposited with a security company in London for safekeeping. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and disburse it to some charity organizations and to the less privileged.The contact of the security company in London would be given to you for enquiry as soon as you indicate your interest to work with me and collect those boxes. But do not open up the content of the consignment to them, because the consignment was deposited with them as CONFIDENTIAL FAMILY TREASURES, not money for your information. Also mind you that the certificate of deposit and the necessary document which will authorized them to open up communication are with me.Please send me a mail to indicate if you will assist me in this disbursement.I have set aside 30% for you, for your time and patience.may God be with you and your entire family.Please note: I am sending you this email secretly against my doctor?s advice to remain incommunicado with anyone, as this will deteriorate my present condition. Remain blessed. Mr. Fidel Fernando

40 Hands – New Cafe Opens at Charming Tiong Bahru
by Daniel
In a coffee-loving country like ours, we welcome an atypical café unlike the commercial franchises we are familiar with. The café was interestingly named 40 Hands because 40 Hands are required in the production of coffee, from plant to cup.
40 Hands' choice of location was charming, the 20-odd seater tucked away at low-rise Tiong Bahru with a rustic-looking sundry shop and coffeeshop nearby.
The décor was idiosyncratic with a mish mash of wooden crates as chairs, raw concrete floor and graffiti art on the wall in a form of a coffee bean named 'creepy'. Food was served on plates with retro cockerel motifs, and used condensed milk cans acted as sugar containers.
40 Hands had ambitious and bold visions, among which was to "become a strong advocate for sustainably produced coffee throughout the world." Therefore, coffee was its primary selling point, more than its food.
Full Post at InSing.com – 40 Hands
40 Hands, 78 Yong Siak St, #01-12 Tiong Bahru Tel: 62254623
Opening Hours: 8:00am to 6:30pm Daily

Watch Hill Wedding
I had never been to Watch Hill before this marvelous wedding. In fact, I knew very little about this picturesque Rhode Island town. This coastal village in Westerly, Rhode Island, is an elegantly subtle counterpoint to the flashier Newport, located nearby. In Watch Hill and Westerly, beautiful Victorian mansions dot the gorgeous coastline. It's also home to the Ocean House. The Ocean House is the only AAA Five Diamond Hotel and Forbes Five-Star in all of Rhode Island!..A Watch Hill wedding is a very special thing. For one, you have your choice of incredible outdoor locations to use as backdrops for your wedding day photography. It truly is a special and unique place to be. On a clear day, you can see all the way to Montauk, New York! Watch Hill is located at the furthest southwestern spot of Rhode Island. It's situated on a peninsula that cuts nearly into Block Island Sound. Watch Hill is only two hours in a car from Boston and a three from New York City. This makes it an excellent choice for a Watch Hill wedding, as your guests don't have to travel far from nearby major cities...Watch Hill has long been a playground for the elite. Golfing and tennis at the Misquamicut Club, hanging out at the Watch Hill Yacht Club, and dining at the Ocean House were all part of daily life. While most of the original Victorian hotels were damaged and ultimately destroyed by hurricanes and fires, the Ocean House remains. Currently, the Ocean House's most famous next door neighbor is Taylor Swift, who purchased a gorgeous waterfront mansion just a stone's throw from the Ocean House's front door...At this particular Watch Hill wedding, the bride bought some glorious Manolo Blahnik shoes, incredibly chic yet utterly practical because they were flats!

Abstract Edit
This page describes the game of Castles so that Fortress design decisions are based on actual facts.
Contributors Edit
All significant contributors should list themselves here
- Max Gilead
- Charles Goodwin
Introduction Edit
Castles puts player into the role of a noble living in years 1280-1305 when King Edward I was securing his Welsh conquests by building great fortresses in the hope that secure lands would attract English settlers into Wales.
Options Edit
Castles give player several options before starting a game:
- Messengers -- messengers bring news from the country and abroad. Without messengers there won't be any special events in game.
- World -- player can choose real or fantasy world. In fantasy world there are more types of attackers -- mythical creatures and monsters from beliefs of the people of the British Isles in the middle ages. Fantasy world also adds more options to game special events.
- Level -- game difficulty may range from tutorial (Peasant) through Duke and Prince up to a King. On higher levels player has less money, worse political relations and tougher battles.
- Campaign -- campaign type (a number of castles player needs to build to finish a game)
- Name -- player can choose his name and sex
- Castle name -- player can choose castle name here
Building Edit
Building castles is done in two steps, a design phase and a building phase. They can be mixed, ie. you can design part of a castle, start its construction and then go back and design the rest.
Design Phase Edit
This is where the player designs a castle. The game shows a 2D, top-down terrain overview where individual pieces of castle can be placed. Pieces include walls, towers, and gates.
- Walls
- Walls can have varying thickness and height (more is better), can also have arrow slits (archers are safer) and boiling oil cauldrons (they activate automatically when enemy is attacking that wall segment) placed on them.
- Towers
- Towers come in two flavours: square (cheaper) and round (stronger), and can have varying height and optional windows
- What are windows for?
- Gates
- Gates have no options except height. You can open the door but the only known purpose is as a tactic during combat, to allow your men out or draw their men in.
Each castle has to have a keep. A keep is a castle inside castle -- a central area protected by thick walls, strong towers and sturdy gates. Battle is lost when enemy destroys castle keep.
Building Phase Edit
This is when workers are actually building a castle. Player can assign a number of workers to a castle segment (single number, can't assign any particular type). After that actual castle construction starts.
It is simply about prioritising which parts of the castle get build first should your castle come under attack prior to completion.
There are a number of labourers a player may hire (wages are given for 20 people):
- Diggers
- cost: 1 pound/month
- Carpenters
- cost: 5 pounds/month
- Masons
- cost: 6 pounds/month
- Quarrymen
- cost: 1 pound/month
- Carters
- cost: 1 pound/month
- Smiths
- cost: 5 pounds/month
- Labourers
- cost: 0 pounds/month
Combat Edit
At several intervals throughout the construction period of your castle, it may come under attack by several waves of attack that usually grows in strength with each attack. Should you survive the final wave then you have been successful in your mission.
There are two types of units:
- Archers
- cost: 2 pounds/month
- Infantry
- cost: 3 pounds/month
Unit Types Edit
- Infantry
- Melee based unit
- Archers
- Short range based unit with low damage capability
- Catapults
- Long range based unit with high damage capability but low accuracy
Defense Edit
Someone please descibe combat here, eg. how to place warriors on a map/castle segments.
Enemy soldiers will try and rush your castle, destroying walls as necessary to reach your keep. When your keep is compromised, your castle is lost. Enemies may attack with catapults.
Offense Edit
There is no player offense in Castles, player can only defend his/her castle from AI controlled enemies.
Economy Edit
Taxes Edit
Food Edit
Messengers Edit
There's a number of factions in a game, most common being: noble families, The Holy Church, the Princess of Gwynedd, the peasants, the King of Bretagne.

In these increasingly difficult economic conditions, it is more important than ever that a landlord is well briefed on its rights and remedies in order to preserve and enhance asset value. Here we offer some guidance on three particularly topical issues relating to the state and condition of demised premises, commonly known as "dilapidations".
On lease expiry
A landlord will be keen to ensure that, on lease expiry, the demised premises are left in repair and decorated in accordance with the lease covenants, and that any alterations are reinstated. However, a landlord needs to be aware that any claim for damages for dilapidations at the end of the term will be subject to a statutory cap. This means that:
- the damages cannot exceed the amount (if any) by which the value of the landlord's reversion is diminished owing to the disrepair (commonly called "diminution in value"); and
- no damages can be recovered if the demised premises - whatever state of repair they might be in - would at or shortly after lease expiry be either demolished or structurally altered in such a way that any repairs would be rendered valueless.
In today's real estate market, the second aspect is of less relevance given that there are very few new developments taking place or planned. Rather, the focus has shifted to the first aspect. Many tenants will now seek to argue that that there has been no diminution in the landlord's reversion, or that the reduction is less, because the letting market is so poor that prospective tenants would choose to take newly built or refurbished space rather than the demised premises, regardless of their state of repair. The landlord can better its position by actually carrying out the works of repair as it is established that, where a landlord has done or intends to do the works, the cost of the works prima facie represents the damage to the reversion - so long as the work is reasonable. A tenant will no doubt seek to argue that, if there is no prospect of letting the premises, any works of repair are not reasonable. The answer as to which position is correct will depend on expert valuation evidence from a surveyor.
In these uncertain times, a landlord will be concerned that a tenant may not survive until the end of the term, and will accordingly be keen to ensure that the tenant complies with its repairing obligations during the term, rather than wait until lease expiry. In this context, there are a couple of areas of which a landlord ought to be aware:
- Jervis v Harris clauses.
Most modern leases contain a "Jervis v Harris clause" which gives a landlord certain powers. It enables a landlord to inspect tenanted premises, serve a repair notice on the tenant, carry out repairs when the tenant fails to do so, and to recover the cost as a debt. Such clauses are especially welcome in the current market as the power is exercisable mid-term but does not involve forfeiture, which would terminate the rental stream. In addition, the statutory cap on damages that has been summarised above is avoided. Having said that, the disadvantage is that the landlord will actually have to incur the expenditure itself at day one, with the consequent cashflow and liquidity consequences, plus running the risk of recovering the sum from the tenant - a process which
is uncertain, costly, and slow. Nevertheless, this is an important weapon in the landlord's armoury and serving a Jervis v Harris notice often encourages a tenant to carry out at least some repairs mid-term when it would otherwise not do so.
- Suing for damages and/or forfeiting the lease mid-term. If the lease had an original term of seven years and has more than three years unexpired, the Leasehold Property (Repairs) Act 1938 will apply. This limits the landlord's ability to either sue for damages or forfeit the lease without seeking the court's permission, and this will not be granted unless the landlord proves one of the following:
(a) that the works are immediately required to prevent a substantial diminution in the value of the landlord's reversion;
(b) that the works are immediately required to comply with legislation;
(c) that the tenant is a tenant of part and the repairs are immediately required in the interests of other occupiers of the premises;
(d) that the disrepair can be remedied at a smaller expense now in comparison with a greater expense if delayed; or
(e) special circumstances.
Generally, this is a high threshold to overcome but in serious cases of disrepair, permission will be given and the works can then be enforced pursuant to a court order.
Break clauses
In the current climate, a tenant with a break clause in its lease may very well be looking to exercise its break in order to offload excess premises that may now be surplus to its operational requirements. Often, break clauses will be conditional on the tenant complying with its lease covenants - including those as to repair, decoration and reinstatement. The key point here is that any conditions attached to the exercise of a break clause will be strictly construed and the tenant must comply with any such conditions to the letter in order to avoid running the risk that its break has not been validly exercised. Case law establishes that minor breaches of the repairing covenants (for example, decorating in the penultimate year of the term rather than in the last year) can invalidate the exercise of the tenant's break. Here a landlord will be keen to exploit its negotiating position to the maximum given that the tenant will wish to "over repair" in order to ensure that there is no doubt whatsoever that its repairing covenants have been complied with.
This last issue will be of less relevance to landlords who have signed up to the Lease Code which stands against break clauses conditional upon compliance with lease covenants other than the payment of rents.
No doubt there will be a rash of cases relating to these issues over the coming months, as tenants and landlords seek to safeguard their positions in a rapidly falling letting market.

Common nursing home regulations require nursing homes to have a sufficient staff, create care plans for every resident, satisfy a resident's nutritional needs and control infections. Regulations focus on keeping every resident in the best possible condition. Nursing homes must follow state and federal regulations to receive their licenses and receive payments from insurance programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid.
To have a sufficient staff, the nursing home needs enough staff members to meet the needs of all its residents at all times. Certain state guidelines require nursing homes to provide each resident with a minimum amount of personal care per day. Another common guideline related to staffs requires nursing homes to post a daily report with the amount of licensed and unlicensed staff members on duty.
A care plan is made specifically for a resident. It includes all that resident's needs, and how the nursing home plans to meet those needs.
Dietary plans at a nursing home must be palatable while meeting nutritional needs for every resident, including any special needs. Three meals per day is a common requirement, along with snacks.
Nursing homes need a plan to both stop infections from developing and prevent them from spreading. Plans typically include standard hygiene practices, such as staff and patients washing their hands frequently, and steps to take when an infection occurs, such as isolating the patient until the infection is gone.

Emotions can get the best of us. This is normal and usually healthy. But, sometimes when the emotions are negative emotions that break us down–it can all be too much. Sometimes we get fixated on these sad emotions and can't move on to the happiness that we deserve.
Read this quote to help kick start your life into a happy mode. Life is too short not to smile–especially if you are sad for a worthless reason. Whether it's a toxic person or a pointless situation, let it go; dry your tears; smile; and move on. Your life and future self with thank you!


text: Peter Konwitschny's highly filmic new staging of Verdi's La Traviata is now an opera in four "pictures": no interval, no grandstanding finales – not even Violetta's showstopping "Sempre libera" – but an intense, immediate, fast unfolding, and highly physical, drama in which Verdi's original wish that his opera be a contemporary social statement is finally acknowledged. A week away from moving the show into the London Coliseum Edward Seckerson meets its leading lady – the young American soprano Corrine Winters – for an informal chat around how this already much talked about staging is shaping up. She herself used the prize money from one of several important awards she has garnered to fly to London to audition. In keeping with the staging she's a throughly modern young performer, a thoroughly modern Violetta, who quotes Verdi on her Twitter account.
