At Daly & Shaw, we're here to develop meaningful infill. Together we can make the most of your opportunity by chasing better returns – financially, socially and environmentally.
Got a development project in mind? It all starts with an honest conversation. At Daly & Shaw, we believe in making the most of your development opportunity. That means understanding the big picture of your project upfront. We'll work alongside you to design the solution that yields many happy returns, financially, socially and environmentally.
Repurposing land is your chance to create something both new and needed. Making the most of your development opportunity starts with understanding the big picture including the potential risks involved. Without careful prior planning, you can find yourself in a hole so deep that the only way out is to keep spending money.
At Daly & Shaw, we work alongside you, drawing on our vast experience to guide you in the right direction and tease out the big insights that ensure you do it right first, saving you money (and heartbreak) down the track. We can reveal what you're sitting on before you get in too deep, from checking your lot for any caveats, easements and encumbrances to uncovering that optimal subdivision configuration.
Even if you have plans, we can show you ways to save money that others can't. You won't see us menu price, but you will see us be 100% honest and upfront about costing's so you can develop with confidence.
If you want to reveal the true value of your block, you need to look at the big picture – repurposing land is your chance to create something both new and needed.
At Daly & Shaw, we're armed with decades of surveying expertise that we'd love to share with you. We can reveal what you're sitting on before you get in too deep, from checking your lot for any easements, rocks or hidden fence lines to uncovering that optimal subdivision configuration. If it's worth it, we'll peg it.
Let's have an open chat about your subdivision plans.
Each council has its own nuances - we can help you navigate through it all.
At Daly & Shaw, we take it upon ourselves to uncover all those little intricacies that could make or break your development. From helping you unearth any complex council caveats that could pinch your profits, or worse, prevent your project from gaining approvals.
For instance, it's not uncommon to have to pay development contributions back to the council, even contributions for public art. If your lot is next door to a heritage-listed property, you may have restrictions to build a certain distance away from the boundary. With over 30 years of experience, we know what to look for. And we'll tell you upfront, so you can get the most out of your project, the first time around.
At Daly & Shaw, we take it upon ourselves to uncover all those little intricacies that could make or break your development, We liaise with all major utilities and service providers from submitting applications to locating existing services and setting new account numbers minimising costly time delays.
A feasibility study is essential for you to work out whether or not a project is viable. Our job is to gleam insights that can make or break your development.
A major part of the feasibility process is taking into account, where the development is taking place and what else is around it. You need to make sure you have purchased (or will purchase) land at the right price, and that the product you are building fits in with what the market wants in that area.
If you get the balance wrong, you'll pour too much money into the build and won't get the right return. For instance, a builder might say you can fit seven 3-storey townhouses on your block (which sounds appealing – more dwellings = more profit). But if there's no demand for high density in the suburb, you are unlikely to sell for the price you want, or at all. Say you spend $350k to $400k per dwelling and sell them for $420k, when you factor in all the other costs (including colours, fixtures, finishes, marketing and the land itself), it's easy to see it just doesn't add up. That's why square metre rates don't cut it. While the seemingly low price may seem appealing, there's more than meets the eye. These rates usually start as 'build only', which is just your basic shell - no carpets, blinds, wall painting and the like. And that's where so many developers get caught out.
At Daly + Shaw, we do the maths now so you can reap the rewards later. We won't provide a misleading square metre rate – we'll provide an all-inclusive 'turnkey' price so you know exactly where the profit potential lies.
Think of us as an open book. If it's not worth it, you'll know it upfront. Because Mick and Rob do developments themselves, they can't help but talk about it. Other builders or brokers won't even go there. Unfortunately, it's all too easy to be seduced into committing to a project and making your first payment before it all unravels. It's not your fault – it's misinformation. Better to know now than get in too deep and be forced into forever spending money to dig your way out of trouble.
The difference is, Daly + Shaw actually care about the builder-developer relationship, both now and in the future. We don't want to trap you – we want you to remember the experience for all the right reasons. And while we're more than happy to share our honest thoughts, we also encourage you to get advice from other financial experts like accountants or lawyers to make sure you're in the right financial position to take on the project.
If it feels right, we'll give the green light.
When you approach us with your concept plans, we will provide you with a detailed budget estimate. Your budget estimate is designed to provide early stage projections tailored to your project.
You will gain unlimited access to our 30 plus years of experience and knowledge allowing you to progress with the confidence utilising realistic figures. We know that an solid budget estimate is a vital element to ensure the long term success of your development.
At Daly + Shaw, we're not interested in luring you in with a basement price before slugging you in variations later. We sometimes lose business over it, but we never lose sleep over it – and that's what really matters.
We proudly take a no-surprises approach. When we present a contract, that's the price. It's all-inclusive - you won't find out further down the track you need to pay for extras. It's all in. We're all in.
So if you're in the quote comparison stage, we'd love to sit down with you to chat through it all. Remember - a quote alone doesn't tell the whole story. And quite frankly, it's hardly surprising that they're not the easiest to understand.
The team at Daly + Shaw has the experience to answer all your questions and explain your quote in detail, so you know exactly what you're getting into, upfront

Jesus in Disguise
So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation…"
- 2 Cor. 5:16-18
Let's keep thinking today about having eyes to see. Yesterday we read how Simeon spent years waiting to see the Messiah, the one God would send to save God's people. He spent years peering into every new face with wonder, looking for traces of the imago Dei, the image of God… Learning to look with hope prepared him to recognize the Messiah in just a tiny baby. And perhaps over time it also trained him to see God's handiwork in ordinary people like you and me.
Mother Teresa describes this new way of seeing ordinary, messy people like this: "Each one of them in Jesus in disguise." Would you sit with Jesus for a few minutes this morning and let the the names and faces of people you love - and even people you struggle with – flow into that safe space? Ask Jesus to help you see them with eyes of hope, ready to notice God's work in their lives.

Christians return to devastation in ancient Qaraqosh
Ancient Christian Qaraqosh in Iraq was recently liberated from Islamic State, but as two sisters and their priest return, they wonder if they can find it in their hearts to start again.
Mariam and Randa Nazah chatted excitedly on the road to Qaraqosh.
I knew them from earlier photoshoots, and was invited to travel with them for their return.
"For two years I have been dreaming about going back to sing in my church again," said Mariam, 16, who joined the Qaraqosh church choir when she was much younger.
Randa, 17, was exhilarated about seeing her house again. Their priest, Father Bashar, joked and sang as he drove to the city for the first time since the ousting of Islamic State (IS) last month.
But as the city's ruins appeared, excitement turned to shock and disillusionment.
Total devastation
For centuries Iraq's biggest Christian city was striking — with glorious churches and ancient monasteries.
Its Christian citizens can trace their roots back to the 4th Century BC.
I'd first come to photograph Qaraqosh in 2010 — the church bells were ringing, and its vibrant streets echoed with hymns.
But that all changed in 2014, when Qaraqosh was captured by Islamic militants as they cut a swathe through northern Iraq.
The sisters had experienced violence before — extremists periodically terrorised the town after Saddam Hussein's fall in 2003.
Their six-year-old brother was killed in a bomb blast at a hospital.
But this was different. Having survived the centuries, Qaraqosh was about to suffer total devastation.
Mariam and Randa's family fled in fear with everyone else as IS approached. Father Bashar stayed until he knew the city was lost and managed to catch the last convoy out.
A few remained — at least seven women and a young girl were kidnapped.
Most found sanctuary in Kurdish Erbil, where the church grounds suddenly burst with 50,000 refugees.
Still in shock, one man, Tabith, showed more concern for his city than his own welfare.
"We left more than 100 churches and monasteries behind — what will happen to them now?"
First impressions
As our car arrived the chatter ceased.
Mariam gasped, reading graffiti on the church wall.
"It says that if they die destroying this church and this city, they will go straight to heaven."
IS set up firing ranges inside churches leaving these holy places gun-riddled.
A meeting with suspected IS prisoners
Soldiers escorting the sisters said they held six prisoners, all suspected of being IS.
The sisters begged for a chance to face them and ask why they had wreaked such havoc.
As the door opened they saw men cowering in a tiny cell. Blindfolded and wrists bound by scraps of old clothing, five middle-aged men and a teen were crammed together.
"Two of them we know for sure are Islamic State members. The others we are investigating," the officer in charge said.
The girls' outrage faded, as one of the men pleaded: "I'm just a musician. I'm not a fighter."
The door was closed again leaving the men to an unknown fate.
Wishing for a miracle
As they toured the ruins, the sisters realised the bell that used to peal across the city is missing from the Church of Immaculate Conception, the largest Christian church in Iraq.
The church of St Behnam and St Sarah, a place of Christian pilgrimage for centuries, is also lost.
The tomb complex was built in the 4th Century AD by Assyrian King Senchareb in atonement for killing his son, Behnam, and daughter Sarah after they were converted to Christianity by St Matthew.
Many believe the shrine held the power of healing — Mariam and Randa wish it to be true.
Sad homecoming
The sister's excitement returned momentarily as they saw their home — still standing, and not burnt out.
It had been a beautiful home — two stories with several balconies and a large yard.
Peering in, Randa's hands shot up to cover her mouth. It had been used by IS soldiers as a base.
Everything was soiled, broken and spread across the floor, with a stench in the air.
After a few minutes they had to leave, resolving to never go back.
Father Bashar rejoined the group, after intense meetings and in sad contemplation of the vast sums of money and effort it would take to rebuild.
He found his own house completely destroyed by fire, leaving nothing.
Christians have always rebuilt
Qaraqosh has been raided in past centuries — Persians, Kurds, and others have left flames and death behind them.
The Christians have always rebuilt. This time, they are not sure.
Volunteers began clearing the churches of debris, but improvised explosive devices litter the streets and explosive booby traps make it dangerous.
"We have been liberated from IS but there are still problems," Father Bashar says.
"Until we feel 100 per cent safe, no-one will return here to live."
A bittersweet visit
Before their visit ended, Mariam wanted to fulfil her dream to sing in the Church of Immaculate Conception.
Standing in the burnt-out ruins of the immense church, Mariam did sing, but not with joy.
"My prayer is for you to give salvation for all those suffering," her words echoed through the empty church, momentarily bringing it back to life.
"Inspire me with the right words to bring comfort to my soul," she sang.
For Mariam, the experience was bittersweet.
"This was my dream, but now I feel I can never come here again," she said.
Thousands of Christians of Qaraqosh were lucky to escape with their lives. But they feel their soul has been torn from them.
To rebuild is a monumental task that few have the stomach for, Father Bashar says.
Many are looking to settle anywhere else — money is scant, and everything is destroyed.
Yet as the initial shock recedes there is some hope the spirit that's kept Qaraqosh alive for 24 centuries will spark again.

I Went to Oxford …. Maryland that is!/
We're just back from a four-day, three-night excursion to the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Virginia. For you long-time followers of my blog who remember the post titled Raindrops Kept Falling on My Head, you may recall due to some inclement weather while staying at Sunset Cottage, I went into a bit of an art funk missing the coast of Maine.
This time my wife Jen and I stayed at the Martini Cottage in Oxford. Our goal was to research some of the best galleries on the Eastern Shore and look for possible representation of my bird life paintings. The charming, historic town of Oxford provided a good home base. We wanted to check out what other artists are painting and what the top galleries are showing.
We traveled to the quaint, little town of St. Michaels then on up to the home of the annual Waterfowl Festival, Easton, MD, and over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge to the capital city of Annapolis, MD. We stopped into numerous galleries, spoke with several owners and viewed a wide variety of art.
In-between, we took the time to do a little bird watching. As we walked up to the water's edge at the Oxford Boatyard, Jen spotted a Great Blue Heron on a piling. At first I said, "I think it's a fake. Look at the color of the neck." Then Jen said, "I think it moved!" I took several pictures as we quietly approached the PLASTIC bird! ☺
We both laughed at how silly we must have looked, as we headed to the far side of the dock. Schooners Restaurant looked all closed down for the season as we walked out onto the pier. I had just thrown out the question, "Where are all of the birds" when at that very moment a Great Blue Heron right below us, flapped his expansive wings, rising up in front of our faces and flew over to the piling next to the plastic GBH!
Since it was his resting time, he allowed me to walk out onto a very narrow pier (I felt like I was on a balance beam) to within 10 feet or less and photograph him. I stood there watching and photographing him for 45 minutes! As I turned around to head home, I knew I had to take a moment to gain my equilibrium and get the feeling back in my legs, or I could easily lose my balance on the wet and narrow pier and be in the bay camera and all! I shuffled back using baby-steps, slowly making it to dry land and knowing I must be providing someone with a good laugh.
After our gallery hopping was over and it was time to head home, we took a slight detour out of Oxford and headed south to the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge. Blackwater is a large resting area for migrating birds, and home to a great variety of waterfowl and shorebirds. It is a birdwatcher's paradise. We saw numerous GBHs, Bald Eagles, ducks, Cormorants and many other birds.
We drove the 4 mile loop twice, stopping many times to take pictures of birds for future painting material. It's not only a birdwatcher's paradise, but the marshland/wetlands are so scenic I started envisioning myself doing a series of large canvas wetland paintings.
This time, unlike my time at Sunset Cottage, I came home energized. My appreciation for the Eastern Shore grew immensely on my trip to Assateague Island last spring, but this trip to Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, Oxford, St. Michaels, Easton and Annapolis sealed the deal.
I not only found endless new painting material, but we found galleries where we could envision my work being shown down the road. People migrate from all over the world to visit the Eastern Shore during the Waterfowl Festival in early November (not to mention year round) and have a great appreciation for wildlife art.
I'm hoping to produce a large body of bird life and wetland paintings over the winter. Inspiration for an artist is critical in bringing out the best in one's work. The Eastern Shore is a treasure and thankfully has provided me with much inspiration. I feel very fortunate to have awakened to its natural beauty.
Thank you as always for reading my blogs and your interest in my art! To view my bird paintings click here.

Gynecomastia is a condition which appears in men, and consists of unwanted tissue in the chest region. Other than the physical annoyance, this condition is linked to high levels of mental distress. Quite a few of these males steer clear of scenarios where it's demanded to remove your shirts, just like going to a community swimming pool area. Specialists observed many causes that can lead to this condition. The extra cells can develop even caused by growing older.Nevertheless your city gives loads of pros in gynecomastia (male breast reduction) to help men to feel great once again.
In the event that you are contemplating a male breast reduction surgery in your city, there are actually 2 main methods. Depending on the leading factor of the disorder, the surgical procedure could lead to a liposuction or an excision. The very best thing you could do is to methodically take a look at this with your specialist, he'll offer you his opinion about the most beneficial method. Having said that, there is a substitute for an operation, male breast reduction pills assure very similar outcomes without ending up on an operating desk. Numerous guys announced themselves pretty pleased with this substitute.
The ordinary male breast reduction cost in your city is under $7,000. It is not possible to figure out an accurate price due to the fact that one can find two principal groups of aspects that influence the payment. There are the features of the facility and the professionals, for example the experience of the doctor. On the other hand, we have elements that are related to the client, every individual is different and so, he has particular demands relating to the intervention. In the end, the best way to have a correct evaluation of your gynecomastia price is to question your doctor.
Now, if you underwent a surgery, you'll also deal with a gynecomastia recovery soon after. However, the male breast reduction pills aren't followed by a recovery period. The most fundamental element to remember for the duration of this difficult period is that the surgeon will be continually there for you. Moreover, the support of loved ones is surely very helpful, it may help accelerate your healing. To sum up, a male breast reduction in your city can re-establish your self-esteem and you might at last lose your shirt in public.

Root canal therapy, or RCT, is the removal of infected nerve tissue from a tooth. Our teeth consist of three layers: enamel, dentin and the pulp. Each root of a tooth has a pulp chamber that holds the nerve, connective tissue and blood vessels of that tooth. If the pulp chamber is affected by inflammation or an infection, swelling and pain can occur. There are several factors that can cause a tooth to need a root canal, such as:
- a cracked tooth into the nerve
- a large filling near the nerve of the tooth
- trauma
- large decay that touches or is close to the pulp chamber
- an abscess (or infection) at the root tip
Treatment for these conditions consists of removing the infected nerve of the tooth. The tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected, and then filled with a flexible rubber material called gutta-percha. A small filling (see composite or amalgam filling tab) is placed over the opening of the tooth. Once the root canal therapy is complete, you should regain full function without any feeling from the tooth. In most cases, a crown is recommended after a root canal because the tooth is more brittle and likely to break down (see crown tab).

Cordelia Lounging at Home
If Cordelia is good at one thing, she is good at lounging. She can do it all day, every day. As long as she gets her breakfast and dinner and maybe some catnip and a raw bone or two. oh and trips outside to play in the yard, she is happy just lounging. As Cordelia is a dog, she is happy lounging anywhere. She will rest on the bathmat, a stray towel, dirty laundry, in a ray of sunlight, on the cold tile by the front door, she isn't picky. However, since she lives with humans, she does, in fact, have designated 'beds'. We humans can't help but anthropomorphize, can we? And, on that note, John recently took one of our christmas cards (thank you Purdy's!) that folds out into a flaming hearth and put it next to her bed (a leopard print and sherpa mat nicknamed 'dolce & gabbana'). I then suggested he put one of the battery operated tea lights in the center and voila! Cordelia now has a sexy little lair. I did my best to get a photo of it. But just one question before I show you any photos: are we totally pathetic? Nevermind, I already know the answer.

We have determined by pulse shaping techniques and frequency multiplexed homodyne detection the full quantum state of a highly multimode, parametrically generated, frequency comb. This has allowed us to characterize its quantum properties in terms of various types of multipartite entanglement. We will also discuss the possible applications of such a highly entangled state to measurement-based quantum computing.

Chakraborty, Subrata and Yeh, Chung-Hsing (2009) A simulation comparison of normalization procedures for TOPSIS. In: 2009 International Conference on Computers & Industrial Engineering, 6-9 July 2009, Troyes, France.
Multiattribute decision making (MADM) uses a normalization procedure to transform performance ratings with different data measurement units in a decision matrix into a compatible unit. MADM methods generally use one particular normalization procedure without justifying its suitability. The technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) is one of the most popular and widely applied MADM methods. This study compares four commonly known normalization procedures in terms of their ranking consistency and weight sensitivity when used with TOPSIS to solve the general MADM problem with various decision settings. The comparison study is validated using two performance measures: ranking consistency and weight sensitivity. A large number of MADM problems with varying attributes and alternatives are generated using a new simulation technique. The study results justify the use of the vector normalization procedure for TOPSIS and provide suggestive insights for using other normalization procedures in certain decision settings.

Hello again,
I'm sharing with you my page using the JUST ADD PAPER kit for November from D-lish Scraps. I have always loved this colour combination so just had to find some great photos to use on it.
This is my gorgeous little girl Molly, Princess Molly as we like to call her. She is no longer this little thought, she is now a big 7 year old but is just a bigger version of this cutie pie.
It is very fitting that these photos just so happen to have a pillow in them that matches the colour theme of the Peacock Parade kit perfectly.
I started with a patterned piece of paper and covered it in Gesso then allowed it to dry. Once dry I went to town with both colour sprays and shimmer sprays from Colour Blast and allowed the purple to run a little over the page. After the sprays dried I then used some white texture paster over a stencil to add some extra interest on the paper and give it a 3D effect.
In the JUST ADD PAPER kit you also got a cut little feather stencil. I used some of the coloured texture paste from Colour Blast to add some green feathers over the page.
I think I used over half of the November kit, and added some more flowers including a magnolia, apple blossom, forget me nots, poppy and a few different size roses and some of the Puffy Alphabet Stickers. I spritzed a rose and magnolia in a matching colour spray and 'dribbled' some purple colour spray over the apple blossom before giving it a light spray.
I really liked the frosted round cabochons and the loose sequins in the kit and just had to use them. The flair buttons in the kit were to die for, so I kept a couple for another layout. Once all my embellies and photos were attached to the page I added some of the washi tape from the kit from the side edges of the page to the edge of a couple of the photos.
If you aren't quick enough to pick up the monthly kit, you can always find similar products in the D-lish Scraps store. Monthly kits sell out very quickly on the day of their release so make sure you are on the D-lish Scraps Facebook page on the evening on release so that you don't miss out. All the details you need will be there. You will also get sneak peeks in the lead up to the release as well.
Well I hope you liked my layout that I did using the Just Add Paper kit.
I am sure you will find more wonderful creations appearing throughout the month of December.
Until next time, stay happy 😄

Advent 3.7: going to be
Recently the question came up:
did Jesus always know He was God?
It's something I've never thought about
and I liked suddenly thinking about it,
though I don't think I can ever settle on an answer.
Was there a "Superman moment," as my friend put it,
or was the knowledge always etched in his human-yet-divine bones?
Do any of us start out knowing what we are? who we are?
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes--
but little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes.
I never held much to that--infant wins out over God, in my book.
Or maybe God completely transforms into infant--
every need, every bawl, every discovery, every chuckle
full of heaven and earth all at once.
Tonight I watched our niece unwrap Christmas for the very first time.
As we surrounded her, savoring her cheeks, her light laughs, her roving eyes,
my husband asked aloud, wonderingly, close to jubilant expectation--
"What are you going to be?"
I imagine, that though they still had imprints of the angel, the dream, the star burned on their brains,
the known unknown that something far beyond them was at work,
Mary and Joseph still looked at their new boy and asked the same question:
"What are you going to be?"

The Online World: A Mecca of Tools for Instructional Designers
It is mind-boggling to see the number of technological tools available to learning and development professionals nowadays. At times, it seems that organizing learning online is an overwhelming task. Which main tools should be used? Below you will find common tools used by instructional designers. The list is not even exhaustive.
Beware, what is most popular is not always better. And what is better is not always the most popular. For example, Moodle is widely used across the world. One of the main reasons is because it is free. It is called an open-source platform, meaning the platform can be adapted for commercial use without licensing fees. In my opinion, while not visually appealing and more adept at spreading content than truly engaging learners, Moodle does the job in providing functionalities geared toward learning. It fits well within an organization that is cash sensitive and wants their learners to have access to content with the click of a mouse.
Another issue is that while there is some connection between some of the online tools, it is not always the case. Inevitably, organizations will have to make early decisions on their programs of choice for their online learning, which will consequently cause the elimination of others. Those early decisions will become crucial and could be "binding" for time to come unless a company is ready to restart from scratch. It would be ill-advised to "choose them all" or on an "as-needed" basis. Focus is essential here. The learning curve of employees mastering a new Learner Management System (LMS) and its functionality is everything but negligible. From that understanding, it would be pointless to try to make them use many and at the same time.
So, which tools should be employed? A good question with no clear answers.
What is needed is a learning professional that will be able to discern which supports are most appropriate and which programs will better fit within the organizational culture. This is key to set up and growing an effective e-learning program for years to come.

Physician who bailed on hospital contract must pay back signing advance
A medical center successfully defended its $64,932 breach of contract win against a physician in its action seeking to recoup outstanding payments on his signing advance. The recruitment agreement between the parties provided that the monthly installments on the promissory note would be forgiven as long as the physician continued working at the hospital, but when he left after five months, the hospital sought payback of the remaining balance. The Eighth Circuit affirmed a grant of summary judgment to the hospital, rejecting the physician's defenses to performance on the contract, and his claim that the district court had abused its discretion in awarding the hospital attorney fees and costs (Johnson Regional Medical Center v. Halterman, August 15, 2017, Shepherd, B.).
Recruitment agreement. The medical center recruited the defendant physician to work as an OB/Gyn. When he came on board, he signed a physician recruitment agreement, a promissory note in the hospital's favor of $50,000 (plus interest) in monthly installments, and a physician employment agreement. The hospital advanced $50,000 to the physician as a "signing advance," paid out in three installments. Under the terms of the physician recruitment agreements, the monthly payments made under the promissory note would be forgiven as long as the physician continued working at the hospital. The agreement also provided that the agreement would continue in full force until the final payment on the note was either made or forgiven (absent prior termination of the agreement); however, obligations that extended beyond this period would survive termination.
Breach of contract. But the physician worked at the hospital a mere five months. He resigned, ostensibly due to a shoulder injury, and later found work elsewhere as a hospitalist. The hospital accepted his resignation in a letter reminding him that the monthly forgiveness of his signing advance would cease, and that he had a balance due of $37,894. After the physician failed to make any payments on the balance, the hospital filed a successful breach of contract action, securing a judgment of $64,932 in principal due, with interest, along with attorneys' fees and costs.
The physician appealed. In his view, the trio of documents that he executed with the hospital constituted one single contract, and the hospital breached it, thus excusing his performance (i.e., his payment on the promissory note). But the Eighth Circuit found there were two contracts in play: the employment agreement and the recruitment agreement, the latter of which incorporated the promissory note. (Looking to the substantive terms, the appeals court found the parties did not intend the agreements to function as a single contract. The documents had different durations, contained independent merger clauses, different obligations, and different triggers for contract termination.) The contract at issue here was the recruitment agreement (and promissory note)—and the physician's alleged breach thereof.
Performance was not excused. In support of his contention that his performance under the contract was excused, the physician alleged that the hospital had fraudulently induced him to sign by misrepresenting the on-call requirements of the OB/Gyn position. Under Arkansas law, though, the remedy for fraudulent inducement is to rescind the contract—meaning the physician would have had to return the remainder of the principal. That didn't happen. At any rate, neither party disputed that the contract was now indeed terminated; at issue was the consequences of that termination. Applying the plain language of the contract, the appeals court held the remaining balance became due and payable upon termination, and the physician was obligated to return the remainder of the principal. He offered nothing to support his contrary position that he was contractually entitled to retain the loan proceeds.
The physician also contended that his performance was excused on account of his shoulder injury, which prevented him from fulfilling his duties under the agreement. It was clear the injury would impair his ability to perform certain OB/Gyn procedures. But he resigned without engaging in any good-faith negotiations with the hospital about the appropriate course to take from there. The disability was not permanent, as evidenced by the fact that he started working again, in a hospitalist function, within months. And he offered no evidence that the hospital wouldn't have agreed to "a similar level of performance" on his part to fulfill the contract terms. This defense failed as matter of law, and would not excuse him from paying the remainder of the loan proceeds, the court said.
Attorney fees. The physician also contended on appeal that the district court erred in awarding attorney's fees and costs to the hospital. However, the promissory note contained an express provision allowing for reasonable "costs and expenses" incurred in collecting the balance due on the note. Under Arkansas law, such a provision in a written agreement is enforceable. And the appeals court rejected the physician's final long-shot argument that the fee award was improper because the hospital was not the prevailing party in the dispute.

This is a drinking game for people who are into quick math. Not everyone likes to do a lot of thinking while they're drinking, but for those that do the Prime Numbers drinking game is a great fit. It's pretty simple, players go around saying the next number in sequence and if it's prime they instead say the word "Prime". Whoever messes up drinks. This game works with any number of players.
What You'll Need
All you need for this game is a bit of math skill and some drinks. Players should sit in a circle either around a table or on the floor.
Prime Numbers Drinking Game Rules
Play order of this game is clockwise. It's pretty easy to understand but very easy to mess up.
Players go in turn saying numbers in order. Whenever someone is about to say a prime number they instead say "Prime!" and that number is skipped.
For those that aren't aware a "Prime" number is a number that can only be divided by 1 and itself. As you count further there are less and less prime numbers and they become much harder to spot.
If anyone takes to long to say their number, says the wrong number, or fails to say "Prime" when they are supposed to they have to drink. They then start the next round.
Here's a quick list of the all the primes from 1-200. (Note: 1 is not considered a prime. This gets a lot of people)
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 101, 103, 107, 109, 113, 127, 131, 137, 139, 149, 151, 157, 163, 167, 173, 179, 181, 191, 193, 197 and 199.
There's plenty more past that but if you're making it all the way to 200 you and your group might already be too smart for this game.
The Prime Numbers drinking game is great for people looking to keep their brains active while they drink. There's very few math drinking games out there so it's slim pickins. Although as with any drinking game please make sure to pace yourself and drink responsibly.

FORT MYERS, Fla. – Police say a shooting at the annual ZombiCon gathering in Florida has left one person dead and five more injured, causing a chaotic scene that sent throngs of zombie-dressed revelers running through the streets.
The shooting happened around 11:45 p.m. Saturday night, just 15 minutes before the event officially ended. However, large crowds were still in the streets and authorities quickly cleared out nearby bars and set up crime scene tape, while others patrolled the area with rifles searching for a suspect.
Fort Myers Police Lt. Victor Medico said Expavious Tyrell Taylor, a 20-year-old who played football at a local junior college, died at the scene, but no other details about his death were released.
Four others were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries and one additional victim refused medical attention, authorities said.
Authorities said the suspect is still at large and did not release any information about a possible motive.
"There were a lot of witnesses down here, there were a lot of people taking pictures, videos with their cellphone," Medico told the News-Press. "Anything that could help with this investigation would be greatly appreciated."
Police did not immediately return email and phone call messages on Sunday seeking additional details.
The annual festival had been expected to draw more than 20,000 fans dressed as zombies, the newspaper said. Medico said the scene was described as "shoulder to shoulder."
A statement on the ZombiCon Facebook page said organizers were saddened by the news and the group takes the safety of its patrons very seriously.
ZombiCon has been a popular event for nearly a decade, but some local residents and business owners have not welcomed the crowd of costumed revelers in the street dressed as limping, bloated, degrading corpses. One restaurant posted signs warning visitors that ZombiCon participants were not welcome.
"Quarantined. No Zombies allowed," the signs read.
Several members from a religious group also picketed the event this weekend.

Your Voice, Your World: The Power of Advocacy
How often have you seen something that really needed to be changed and wondered, "Why isn't someone doing something about that?" This journey gives Girl Scout Ambassadors a way to be that someone—an advocate with the power to start the first flutter of real and lasting change. While creating their own "butterfly effect," they'll gain an array of skills—such as networking, planning and learning to speak up for what they believe—that will benefit them as they prepare for life beyond high school.
Journey Awards
This journey offers Ambassadors the tools to dig for the root of an issue they deeply care about and then to explore possible solutions. As they advocate for a solution, girls at the highest level of Girl Scouts will develop confidence and valuable leadership skills—problem-solving, research, networking, persuasive speaking and consensus-building. These skills are a strong foundation for girls to be leaders who speak up for what they believe in life now—and into the future!
The Girl Scout Advocate Award is earned by Girl Scout Ambassadors who choose to complete the eight Steps to Advocacy as they explore an issue that they find intriguing and exciting, engage community partners and advocate for change. Whether or not their advocacy effort succeeds, girls will have taken steps to make the world a better place!
Journey Awards
On this journey to JUSTICE, Ambassadors have the opportunity to earn the prestigious Sage Award by participating in activities in the six steps to understanding environmental justice. The Sage Award takes its name from the word meaning wise person (from the Latin root sapere, to be wise) and the medicinal herb (from the Latin root salvare, to heal or to save). The award represents both the commitment and ability to be judicious, and it reminds us of the importance of healing.
While earning the Sage Award, girls explore justice (and injustice) from many angles including science, decision making and even doing a little math! Ultimately Ambassadors create and present their own unique definitions for Justice!
Ambassadors learn to dream big, now and for their future, and begin their legacy as leaders who help others achieve their dreams too. As they prepare to move from high school into the next phase of their lives, BLISS helps girls navigate life's twists and turns in order realize their dreams – whether she wants to win a Gold Medal discover a vaccine that cures a disease or run for president.

Then the trekking starts through the Himalayas and beautiful forests. By this trekking, one can have grandeur view of mountains. The langtang region is less crowded as compare to other trekking region of Nepal. The whole trip can be completed within 10-15 days maximum.
As Yala peak climbing is easier than other peak climbing anyone with a good trekking experience can finish it easily. It is not necessary to have mountaineering training and experiences. We can start our trekking either from Dhunche or Syabrubeshi. The cuisine available in the hilly region will change your taste and of course very tasty too.
The very first day of our journey will start from Kathmandu – Syabrubeshi drive. And then trekking is started to reach the Yala peak from syabrubeshi we head towards the Lama hotel of 2480m. From there we will step further to reach the beautiful Langtang waiting to offer you the stunning natural beauty. From the Langtang, we will be heading towards the kyangjin Gompa in 3900m of height. Then the forwarding foot will take us to the yala base camp covered with snow and offering a beautiful view of the snow-capped mountain. From the base camp, we will head towards the top of the yala peak. The top of the yala peak offers you the majestic valley of tamang village and the snowy world.
The tentive itinerary for the yala peak climbing is given below. The detailed itinerary can be modified as your wish, depending upon your vacation time and desire to stay on the Himalayan. The itinerary can be made long if you wish to do so. We can shorten this trip if you wish just to be in the top of Yala peak without other travel. We will give our best to keep you safe during this trip and hope to see you fine when you are about to leave Nepal.
We have designed a very reasonable cost for this trekking. After the completion of the trip, you will feel that the money is well spent. Very remarkable price will make you happy even after the completion. We are planning to be your travel-partner for one time but we look forward to working with again. So we will provide good service in reasonable cost.

I used to be a "do it yourself" travel planner. Now I know better. Now I use Amir to make all my travel plans for business and for family getaways. The value I've received has been tremendous. Better still, the peace of mind of knowing I have his experience behind me to help anticipate those challenges that used to go along with travel. As a result, I enjoy travel so much more. In closing, if you are not traveling with Mount Face Nepal, you are traveling without a net!
I simply told Mount Face Nepal that I'd like a great vacation that was top notch and we got that and more. They arranged everything from transportation, hotel rooms, activities, dinner options and packages for our vacation that we didn't even know existed.
"We will definitely use Mount Face Nepal again! If word of mouth could be captured, I can tell you that I've told everyone I know about how wonderful Mount Face Nepal is and how great my experience was."

It's almost here! To celebrate, this month we've pushed up our wine club release to this Sunday, the 19th. This way, we can offer you wines that will pair with the flavors of Thanksgiving.
After much deliberation, we've decided that for this month we want to focus on natural wines. We did so for two reasons:
- A wider array of flavors. Since everyone's Turkey-day spread differs, the sheer number of flavors that natural wines showcase allows you to confidently pour these wines knowing they will work with all the different flavors on the table
As you know, we take pride in using our wine club as a way to introduce you to new things. We feel that the push towards winemaking techniques that showcase the intricacies of the grapes and the lands they come from fits this mission very well.
***If you are not fully introduced to the concept of "natural wines," please have a look at this blog post we did a few months back that goes into detail about the style.***
For the white this month, we went with a beauty from Penedes called Finca Parera Clar. Made from xarel-lo, a bit of gewürtraminer and a touch of chardonnay, this clear, pale-lemon colored wine has a clean, pronounced nose full of tropical fruit, flowers, and minerals. It's completely dry and medium bodied. Expect generous citrus flavors and good acidity, along with a surprisingly creamy mouth-feel.
For the red in this iteration of the wine club, we've chosen the Rogue Vine, Grand Itata Tinto 2015. This sensual and elegant red comes from the Itata valley in Chile. The blend is 95% Cinsault - a close relative of the Pinot Noir grape that seldom grows elsewhere in the world - and 5% Pais. These particular vines grow in granite rich soils, and were planted over 50 years ago. To give you an idea of how seriously the winemaker wants to replicate forgotten approaches, he literally tills the vineyard using a horse. The wine's flavors consist of a slightly herbal, savory backbone alongside wild red berries.
Please join us Sunday to taste wines that will put these two in context. As always, whatever we taste during the release party will be 10% OFF, as will all past wine club wines. We look forward to seeing you, and would love to hear your plans for this most glorious of holidays!

|Maizy with her certificate
from Puppy School
After that, I was totally hooked on dog school. We took a bit of a break while Maizy was spayed, and then signed up for additional classes. We completed a manners course, a introduction to Agility and an introduction to Rally-O. Maizy absolutely loves dog school - she can barely contain herself when we pull into the facility!
I signed Maizy up for a repeat of the Manners class. While we are more advanced than the other students, it is an excellent refresher. I've gotten to know the instructors at the school quite well and they know what Maizy is capable of and where she struggles, so we can make the simple exercises more difficult (aka while practising loose leash walking, Maizy and I also worked on perfecting our rally sits).
Without a doubt, I can say that dog school is one of the best things I have done for Maizy. It has definitely made her a happier and more relaxed dog. And now that my long-ish introduction is over, here's why your dog should go to school.
5 Reasons to Take Your Dog to School
- A better behaved dog. This one is pretty obvious, but the impact is often undersold. Maizy is a very, very well behaved dog thanks to all her training and it makes dog ownership so much more enjoyable. Heck, I get stressed out when I see other people's dogs running wild and causing chaos, so it's nice to have a dog who listens well. Plus, the amount of of compliments I get on her training are great for my ego.
- A stronger bond with your dog. Dogs love to work for their human. Training brings you and your dog closer together, strengthening the human-canine bond. Whether you're simply working on your sit-stays or doing complex agility work, your dog is thrilled to be spending time with you.
- A more confident dog. Dog school exposes Fido to a variety of other dogs, people and situations. Your dog will learn problem solving skills and have good experiences that will carry over into your everyday routine. Maizy is happy to take on new, scary experiences because she has had so many positive encounters in the past.
- A well trained dog is a safer dog. It's a big world out there and the truth of the matter is that there are lots of things that could potentially hurt your dog. Imagine this: You open your front door, hands full of groceries. Fido comes to greet you but bolts out of the door when he catches sight of a squirrel. He is headed towards the road. "Fido! Come!" you say. Does your dog listen? I have been in this exact situation with Maizy and because of all our training, her recall is excellent.
- It's fun! Seriously, dog school is a blast. You get to see lots of cute dogs (puppy school was seriously amazing), you get to play with your dog and you get to hang out with people who love dogs. You might even learn a little bit in the process.
Maizy works on targeting, a skill we learned at school!
So what are you waiting for? Sign up for dog school today!


text: The popularity of Bitcoin has risen and fallen repeatedly since its inception in 2009. Although it's used in many industries, it really caught on in online gambling, and has even recently reached into land-based casinos in Las Vegas. Some online casinos will only process withdrawals and deposits in Bitcoin, while others won't even touch it. A few include it in a full lineup of options, alongside traditional methods like Visa, Neteller, PayPal, or Skrill. If you've seen it there or have ventured onto a website, only to be surprised that they'll only accept you if you deposit in Bitcoin, you've probably wondered what it is and if it's safe. For those of you who are new to the concept of Bitcoin casinos, this simplified guide will help you decide if it's right for you and how to get started if you think it is. A Simple Explanation of Bitcoin In short, Bitcoin is a virtual currency system that isn't run by any government agency or official entity. Bitcoin miners, or anyone with the proper software and hardware, can assist in processing transactions and because the system is so diverse, checks and balances are built in. Understanding Bitcoin Terminology Because it's an entirely new concept, there are many terms associated with Bitcoin that you won't find anywhere else. For the sake of simplicity, this only covers terms that Bitcoin users should know, and does not explain the more complex backend of the system. Bitcoin - Refers to the entire system of currency or the software used to run it. bitcoin - With a lowercase "b," it generally references the monetary unit itself. It is sometimes shortened to BTC. Wallet -Bitcoin wallets are similar to other virtual wallets. They contain your bitcoins, or rather the addresses of your bitcoins, and are usually found in the form of desktop programs, apps, online storage, or physical hardware. Address - A Bitcoin address is a string of numbers and letters used to send or receive bitcoins and should only be used once. Private Key - Each Bitcoin address comes with a private key which is stored in the receiver's wallet and can prove bitcoin ownership. How to Get Bitcoins There are three ways you can obtain bitcoins. As a newcomer, you can buy them on an exchange, purchasing them with real currency. As a second option, you can have someone transferbitcoins to you in a transaction. Bitcoin miners can also earn them from solving the mathematical equations needed to process transactions. Why Bitcoin Casinos are Great One of the greatest benefits to using a Bitcoin casino is that there usually aren't any transaction fees, since miners receive bitcoins from solving equations. In a traditional casino, there is generally a charge from Visa, Paypal, or whichever service is used. Sometimes the casino pays them on your behalf, while other operators pass the bill to you. Without this fee, the casino's operational costs are much lower, so they can afford to run bigger promotions and offer better bonuses. Bitcoin is also anonymous, so operators who utilize it as their only accepted from of payment need little, if any, personal data from you. The Downside to Bitcoin As a currency, Bitcoin is unstable. It can gain and lose value very quickly- sometimes 100-dollar fluctuations occur within a week or less. At publication, 1 bitcoin is equal to 229 US dollars, 286.88 Canadian dollars, 202.39 euros, or 150.43 British pounds. It had relatively little exchange value until 2013 and peaked in value near the end of that year, with some reports claiming the value of 1 BTC had climbed to over 1,000 US dollars each. Additionally, there is no agency to oversee the system, nor is there anyone backing the funds, or to guarantee the funds in your wallet. There have been instances of exchanges failing, like Mt. Gox, which was hacked and lost 460 million dollars, according to an article in Wired Magazine. A CNN report covered the story of a British man who tossed his hard drive containing 9 million dollars-worth of bitcoins in the trash. These are funds which will never be returned and cannot be recovered. Many people see the flaws within the system and fear the risk is just too great. Are Bitcoin Casinos Safe? There's no for-sure answer to whether Bitcoin casinos are safe. If it's a regulated casino, which has to follow specific guidelines for safety, integrity, and security, the casino, itself, can be a very safe option. In some cases, using Bitcoin can add to the security of your transactions, because the casino does not need your personal information. However, you might have trouble if you deposit using Bitcoin and then later try to exchange it for real cash, considering that the value of Bitcoin varies. Therefore, it's up to you to decide whether a Bitcoin casino is a gamble you're willing to take.

Dynamic properties are studied for the AlGaN/GaN quantum well (QW) structures with and without the coating of colloidal ZnO nanocrystals (NCs). The QW exciton recombination rate was reduced in such hybrids compared to the bare QW structure only in the sample with the thinnest cap layer of 3 nm. Assuming that one of the recombination mechanisms in this hybrid is non-radiative resonant energy transfer (NRET) between the QW and the energy acceptor material i.e. ZnO NCs, the maximum pumping efficiency was estimated to be similar to 42% at 60 K. The NRET effect is, however, vanished after several months despite that the hybrid structures are composed of chemically stable components. (C) 2015 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
Funding Agencies|Swedish Research Council (VR); Carl Trygger Foundation; Angpanneforeningens Foundation for Research and Development
GaN and its alloys with Al and In belong to the group III nitride semiconductors and are today the materials of choice for efficient white light emitting diodes (LEDs) enabling energy saving solid state lighting. Currently, there is a great interest in the development of novel inexpensive techniques to fabricate hybrid LEDs combining high quality III-N quantum well (QW) structures with inexpensive colloidal nanoparticles or conjugated polymers. Such hybrid devices are promising for future micro-light sources in full-color displays, sensors and imaging systems. Organics can be engineered to emit at different wavelengths or even white light based on functional groups or by blend of several polymers. This is especially important for the green region, where there is still a lack of efficient LEDs. Besides optoelectronics, other applications such as biochemical sensors or systems for water splitting can be realized using GaN-based nanostructures. Despite a significant progress in the field, there is still a need in fundamental understanding of many problems and phenomena in III-nitride based nanostructures and hybrids to fully utilize material properties on demand of specific applications.
In this thesis, hybrid structures based on AlGaN/GaN QWs and colloidal ZnO nano-crystals have been fabricated for down conversion of the QW emission utilizing non-radiative (Förster) resonant energy transfer. Time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) was used to investigate the QW exciton dynamics depending on the cap layer thickness in the bare QW and in the hybrid samples. Although the surface potential influences the exciton dynamics, the maximum pumping efficiency assuming a non-radiative energy transfer mechanism was estimated to be ~40 % at 60 K in the structure with thin cap layer of 3 nm.
Since bulk GaN of large area is difficult to synthesize, there is a lack of native substrates. Thus, GaN-based structures are usually grown on SiC or sapphire, which results in high threading dislocation density in the active layer of the device and can be the reason of efficiency droop in GaN based LED structures. Fabricating GaN nanorods (NR) can be a way to produce GaN with lower defect density since threading dislocations can be annihilated toward the NR wall during growth. Here, GaN(0001) NRs grown on Si(111) substrates by magnetron sputtering using a liquid Ga target have been investigated. A high quality of NRs have been confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and TRPL. Two strong near band gap emission lines at ~3.42 eV and ~3.47 eV related to basal plane stacking faults (SF) and donor-bound exciton (DBE), respectively, have been observed at low temperatures. TRPL properties of the SF PL line suggest that SFs form a regular structure similar to a multiple QWs, which was confirmed by TEM. The SF related PL measured at 5 K for a single NR has a significantly different polarization response compared to the GaN exciton line and is much stronger polarized (> 40 %) in the direction perpendicular to the NR growth axis.
Hybrids fabricated using GaN NRs and the green emitting polyfluorene (F8BT) have been studied using micro-TRPL. In contrast to the DBE emission, the recombination time of the SF-related emission was observed to decrease, which might be due to the Förster resonance energy transfer mechanism.
Compared to chemical vapor deposition, sputtering allows synthesis at much lower temperatures. Here, sputtering was employed to grow InAlN/GaN heterostructures with an indium content targeted to ~18 %, which is lattice matched to GaN. This means that near strain-free GaN films can be synthesized. It was found that using a lower temperature (~25 C) while depositing the top InAlN results in an improved interface quality compared to deposition at 700 C. In latter case, regions of quaternary alloy of InAlGaN forming structural micro-defects have been observed at the top InAlN/GaN interface in addition to optically active flower-like defect formations.

Disclaimer: This post was sponsored by H&M & the items were bought with a gift card.
For my third instalment with H&M is to bring you some affordable Coachella style. Since Coachella is this weekend coming, you may have seen the new collaboration line launched in the HM stores. The collection bring you bohemian vibes, gypsy desert warrior and lots of patterns and fringing. Everything you could ask for to create a perfect festival outfit to be honest.
I wanted to put together a comfy outfit which is perfect for lounging on the grass listening to music or if you're in the crowd dancing along. Starting off with this wide legged pants - the thin cotton material is a must if you're going to be on the go all day, you don't want anything tight fitting so these pants are perfect. They also have an elasticated waist line so you can eat as much as you want! I also really like how they flow about your body shape and create such a chic effortless vibe.
Since the pants are already busy with different mixtures of patterns, I went with a plain(ish) vest top. This one is perfect as it has Coachella written across it and again - I love how simple, minimal and soft this top is and only for £6 it's a steal! I have worn my folded up and tied it at the back to create a crop top illusion, I feel it breaks up the top from the pants a bit more.
To finish everything off, I went for a fringed black kimono - a festival go-to. The black kimono ties everything in and doesn't make your outfit too out there if you're like me and just love simple basic structures. Plus the fringing matches with the bag - perfect for carrying around your camera, water and purse! Unless you want to opt for the casual bum bag.
With the sun normally quite high in the sky, you can never go wrong with a fedora - it matches perfectly with the aesthetic of the outfit and finishes off your look perfectly.
With all these pieces, it didn't hurt my purse at all! All super affordable pieces to create a timeless festival look on a budget. Really surprised me when I took everything to the till! Let me know what you guys think of the outfit down below!
