A controversial 30-storey condo tower that was rejected by the city has won approval from the Ontario Municipal Board, which overruled the city's decision in a judgment handed down Oct 12. The developer, Menkes, now has the go-ahead to build the 100-metre-tall building on land that is currently a parking lot on the east side of Church Street between McGill and Granby.
The decision could set a precedent to eliminate the city's prohibition on tall buildings in the Church-Wellesley Village.
The decision could set a precedent to eliminate the city's prohibition on tall buildings in the Church-Wellesley Village.
The OMB decision, delivered by Reid Rossi, rejects every single argument the city had put forward against the project. It also denies the city Section 37 community benefit funds that are typically negotiated from a developer in exchange for the city's allowing new buildings to exceed designated height and density maximums set out in the city's official plan.
The city and members of the McGill Granby Village Residents' Association had argued that the building was out of proportion with the adjacent low-rise McGill-Granby neighbourhood, that it would cast shadows on houses and park areas, and that balconies overlooking the low-rise houses would infringe on neighbours' privacy.
There was initially some fear that the new condo residents would create conflict with The Barn nightclub across the street, but since the club closed in August that concern has disappeared.
The OMB decision says the city erred by considering the neighbourhood context to be just the predominantly low-rise area bound by Carlton, Gerrard, Yonge and Jarvis.
"One must consider the broader downtown context of tall buildings and similar development as well as the existence of tall buildings to the north and south along Church Street if a full and fair understanding of the application is to be achieved," the decision reads.
The decision also asserts that because the proposed building doesn't physically remove any of the adjacent low-rise houses, it meets the city's stated goal of maintaining the integrity of the low-rise neighbourhood.
The ruling does not sit well with Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam, who had fought hard to have the developer make concessions on the building's height.
"This is the worst OMB ruling I have read in my two years as a city councillor," Wong-Tam says. "He essentially said the neighbourhood was downtown, already grossly impacted by all these tall buildings, so what's another one?"
The greater worry is the precedent the ruling sets for future development proposals in Church-Wellesley Village, she says.
"I think in some ways Mr Rossi has given developers a carte blanche into this neighbourhood. Build whatever you like; if the city doesn't give you what you want, bring it here — we'll approve it for you," she says.
Wong-Tam says that the language used in the decision betrays bias on the part of the adjudicator toward the developer. In one section, the decision states that evidence given by the city planner was "overkill."
In another section, the decision seems to confirm that the adjudicator was not interested in hearing evidence against the proposal: "If anything, [the proposal] appears to contribute to [the neighbourhood's] dynamic growth and revitalization and no opposing opinion or submission could or did counter this assumption."
"The language he used against our planner and solicitor was so outrageous that even third parties were shocked," Wong-Tam says. "I think there was a lot of bias on behalf of the OMB member Reid Rossi. As I read his ruling I thought it could have been written by the developer for the developer."
Wong-Tam says she is investigating the options the city has to appeal this ruling and seeking legal advice on whether the city would win on an appeal to the courts. If the city loses an appeal, it would also be liable for the developer's legal costs.
"I wouldn't want to subject the city to that unless I know we can win," she says. "In no way is this ruling sitting well with the city staff."
The new building will house 358 residential units with 161 underground parking spots, plus 177 square metres of ground-level retail space. It will be set back from Church Street, allowing a 4.5-metre-wide sidewalk.
There is also a proposal to replace the Family Service Toronto building on the southeast corner of Church and McGill streets with a 34-storey building.

Should I Wear My Wedding Ring in the Shower?
Wedding rings: there are some who never take theirs off and some who take theirs off all the time. One of the most common questions we encounter is, "Should I wear my ring in the shower?" To help you decide, here are the two primary risks to your jewelry that you should consider before firing up that warm water.
The Drain
Just because your ring is a tight fit doesn't mean that it won't slip off while you shampoo. Soap and water can cause even the most snug-fitting items to come loose. In fact, most ring losses occur during water activities.
Even if your ring is too large to fit down the holes in your drain catch, it wouldn't be unheard of for the stone to come lose from the setting, especially after a fall from your finger onto a hard shower floor. What a tragedy it would be to watch that precious diamond tumble down the drain!
Be especially careful in the winter months when your home is colder. Cold temperatures reduce swelling and can make your fingers shrink, so a losing a ring in soapy water is especially likely on a cool winter morning while you're getting ready for work.
Abrasive and/or Oily Soaps
Even though they feel smooth to the touch, some soaps can be abrasive to your precious metals and gemstones. Exfoliating soaps are great for your skin, but can really do a number on your rings. The gold and platinum that many wedding and engagement rings are made of is prone to micro scratches. These tiny scratches may not be noticeable at first, but as they collect over time, they will dull the shine of your band.
Diamonds and other gemstones naturally attract oils. When the oils from your bath products come into contact with your rings, they stick to the surface of your stones, blocking the light that gives them their true sparkle. Over time, abrasive and oily soaps can erode the finish on your precious stones.
The best way to keep your rings safe and shining as brilliantly as they day you got them is to remove them before taking a shower. Make sure to store them in a safe place, not on the edge of a counter where they could be knocked down a sink drain.
If you are a never-take-them-off kind of person when it comes to your wedding jewelry, make sure that you have the right drain catch. One with many small holes offers more protection than one with fewer large holes. Take care to avoid abrasive soaps by checking your labels for chemicals and excessive oils.
We all love our jewelry differently. Some of us love our rings by using extra caution to keep them away from chemicals. Others of us love our rings by keeping them on our fingers forever and ever, no matter what. No matter how you love your jewelry, you can protect what you love by insuring it through Lavalier.

Sample – Fraud Risk Universe
We live in a disruption-intensive world and complacency is no longer an option!
As risks continue to expand and intensify many struggle to ring-fence them in and manage them appropriately. Relying on manual processes like spreadsheets, email, and other disparate methods more likely than not are not effective.
The recipe below must be adapted accordingly. Also, the risks that are identified need to be monitored appropriately. I suggest you strongly evaluate and consider automating, where possible, the management of risks and controls with the mindset of continuous improvement or tuning of the fraud risk management program.
Risk Assessment
In addition to establishing an ethical environment, board members and management must also take the lead in implementing and maintaining a formal fraud risk management program. One key element of such a program is a fraud risk assessment, which should be updated annually at a minimum or more frequently if conditions warrant. Recall that GRC means, Governance, Risk, and Compliance because it's a waterfall concept – meaning that good governance includes risk management, and risk management should be driving the compliance initiative or program. Why? Because how can you design an effective compliance program to deter And detect fraud, including bribery and corruption unless you understand the risks your organization faces.
The risk assessment, which some say is easy and I disagree, should identify at a minimum fraud schemes and the acts that could potentially occur, possible concealment strategies that could be used by the fraudster to avoid detection, possible conversion tactics, the individuals or gatekeepers who pose the highest risk of committing fraud, controls that are in place to deter or detect fraud and a list of warning signals or "red flags" that are useful in many ways, including assessing the design of controls.
The success of the fraud risk assessment process hinges on how effectively the results are reported and what the organization then does with those results – in other words, "How is it operationalized"? – See Practice Pointer below.
Here is my recipe*
Identify, understand, and evaluate the company's business, their strategy, and operating environment along with the pressures that exist.
Understand the legal and regulatory aspects of your business. For example: If your organization is subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") then your risk assessment will in all likelihood need to be expanded to include the appropriate elements to assess FCPA risk.
Consider the strategy and objectives put forth. This helps with assessing pressure and possible override then link the objectives to controls.
Evaluate and determine your Fraud Risk Universe (See graphic above.
Identify the business processes and consider differences across the organization.
Review prior allegations of fraud and actual frauds. Understand the root cause(s) of the actual frauds.
Consider at a minimum audit results (internal and external), investigations, results of root cause analysis, recent litigation or settlements, compliance complaints, employee claims, industry enforcement trends, and the existence and sufficiency of policies covering an area.
Identify the Process Owner for each Process and understand their duties and roles. Throughout the risk assessment exercise consider segregation of duty conflicts and document them so they can be remediated.
Identify how Fraud may occur (fraud schemes) in each process and at each location through interviews and meetings.
Understand if the scheme involves financial statement fraud, asset misappropriation, or corruption. Note: It may include all three
Look at the potential fraud manifestations (scenarios) within each process and location.
Identify the parties and profile (not stereotype) the individuals who have ability to commit the potential fraud. Process Owners, Gatekeepers, etc., who are competent and arrogant enough to possibly override controls, if they exist, and misbehave.
Evaluate the likelihood that each of the identified frauds could occur and be significant/material as well as the persuasiveness of the potential fraud without considering controls and possibility of management override of those controls.
- Transactions conducted at unusual times of day, on weekends or holidays or during a season when such transactions normally do not occur;
- Transactions that occur more frequently than expected — or not frequently enough;
- Accounts with many large, round numbers or transactions that are unusually large or small; and
- Transactions with questionable parties, including related parties or unrecognized vendors, which may or may not be disclosed.
- Missing or altered documents;
- Evidence of backdated documents;
- Missing or unavailable originals;
- Documents that conflict with one another; and
- Questionable or missing signatures.
Lack of Controls
- Unwillingness to remediate gaps;
- Inconsistent or nonexistent monitoring controls;
- Lack of clear management position about conflicts of interest;
- Inadequate segregation of duties;
- Lax rules regarding transaction authorization; and
- Failure to reconcile accounts in a timely manner.
- Rationalization, changes in behavior, contradictory behavior or recurring negative behavior patterns;
- Lack of stability;
- Inadequate income for the individual's lifestyle;
- Resentment of superiors and frustration with job;
- Emotional trauma in home or work life;
- Undue expectations from family, company or community; and
- Attendance! Perfect attendance or severe absenteeism.
Determine the appropriate audit response and investigate the characteristics of potential fraud manifestations within each process identified, where "Residual Fraud Risk" exists.
Determine the fraud risk expectancy (quantify).
Remediate fraud risk by designing control activities or exiting/ending the activity, relationship, etc. Use the "four eyes principle". Ensure there is an appropriate segregation of duties. Note: Also use this to insure you have proper insurance coverages.
Harmonize. Make sure the fraud risks identified are evaluated similarly and are in sync with your Enterprise-wide Risk Assessment and other risk assessments you have done. A savvy regulator will pick up on this and could conclude that from a governance perspective your risk management program is deficient – siloed.
Use the "red flags" identified as part of your training! Teach people what to look for and how to report any suspicious activity.
Review the fraud risk assessment frequently, especially after an event – like a fraud, change in senior leadership, merger, acquisition, reduction in force, system upgrade, etc.
Practice Pointer – Compliance, internal audit, legal, and the organization's stakeholders can use the results of, or operationalize, the fraud risk assessment, which includes the identified "red flags" to fine tune controls, policies, procedures, training, and testing strategies/programs.
Please reach out to me if you have any comments or questions.
*Note: This is a standard approach. It has been customized and modified accordingly over the years. Also, for a complete assessment there are other procedures that more likely than not need to be performed in order to properly assess the risk of bribery and corruption.

On 17 August, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the grandest doyen of India's ruling right-wing party, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), passed away in New Delhi at the ripe age of 93 after a lengthy illness. An astute politician, a deft orator, and a much-loved poet, Vajpayee was a man of stark paradoxes. Even in his death, he drew unprecedented bipartisan admiration. But, he was also one of the original voices behind the modern Hindutva project that believes in a unified Hindu-centric nation. In this narrative, Muslims and other religious minorities find limited space.
In his death, the poet-politician has sparked a fierce debate about his complex legacy. Many have cheered for Vajpayee as a statesman par excellence. This lot includes even the staunchest detractors of the BJP today. Others have pointed out how communally-inflamed his past was.
Following is the English text of the speech delivered in Hindi, by Atal Bihari Vajpayee at the BJP's national executive meeting in Goa on 12 April 2002, a month after the devastating communal pogrom in Gujarat, as published in Gujarat: The Making of a Tragedy (Penguin, 2002).
This copy was originally carried by TheWire.in and has been reproduced with permission. The introductory text, as above, has been added by Eleventh Column.
I was in Cambodia just recently. It is the Kamboj state of the past, where magnificent temples that kissed the sky were built in the tenth and the eleventh centuries. It had Hindu states ruled by Hindu kings. There were others too among the citizens, but there was justice towards all. Sometimes the kings also used to fight among themselves. The wheel of victory and defeat rolled on. But during their centuries' long history there isn't a single instance of a Hindu king destroying temples or breaking idols when he attacked another Hindu king. The kings who were victorious used to build a new temple. If Vishnu was being worshipped there earlier, later Shiva began to be worshipped. If Shiva was being worshipped at one time, then other deities began to be worshipped later. Nevertheless, no king destroyed a temple or damaged the deities' idols at the time of attacking another king. This is our culture. This is our outlook, which treats all faiths equally.
Yet, accusations are being hurled today that secularism is under threat. Who are these people accusing us? What is the meaning of secularism for these people? India was secular when Muslims hadn't come here and Christians hadn't set foot on this soil. It is not as if India became secular after they came. They came with their own modes of worship and they too were given a place of honour and respect. They had the freedom to worship God as per their wish and inclination. No one thought of converting them with force, because this is not practiced in our religion; and in our culture, there is no use for it.
Today the 100 crore people of India are engaged in creating their future on the basis of their own culture. Sometimes, minor incidents do take place here and there sometimes they take the form of major incidents. But if you go to the root of these incidents, you will find intolerance, you'll find them to be a manifestation of growing intolerance. What happened in Gujarat? If a conspiracy had not been hatched to burn alive the innocent passengers of the Sabarmati Express, then the subsequent tragedy in Gujarat could have been averted. But this did not happen. People were torched alive. Who were those culprits? The government is investigating into this. Intelligence agencies are collecting all the information. But we should not forget how the tragedy of Gujarat started. The subsequent developments were no doubt condemnable, but who lit the fire? How did the fire spread? Ours is a multi-religious country, a multi-lingual country, we have many different modes of worship. We believed in peaceful and harmonious co-existence. We believe in equal respect for all faiths. Let no one challenge India's secularism. I have read somewhere in newspapers that the Congress Party has decided not to try to topple my Government. Shall I thank them for this? Or shall I say that the 'Grapes are sour'? How will the Government fall? Once they did topple it, but they couldn't form one themselves. Then a fresh mandate from the people was called for, and the people once again gave us an opportunity to serve them.
For us the soil of India from Goa to Guwahati is the same, all the people living on this land are the same. We do not believe in religious extremism. Today the threat to our nation comes from terrorism. Wherever I went around the world, the heads of state or of elected governments complained to me that the militant Islam is sowing thorns along their paths. Islam has two facets. One is that which tolerate others, which teaches its adherents to follow the path of truth, which preaches compassion and sensitivity. But these days, militancy in the name of Islam leaves no room for tolerance. It has raised the slogan of Jehad. It is dreaming of recasting the entire world in its mould.
You will be surprised to hear this—indeed, I too was surprised—that some terrorists belonging to Al-Qaeda were arrested in Singapore. The rulers of Singapore couldn't even have imagined that Al-Qaeda would be active in their country, too; that Al-Qaeda would hatch a conspiracy in Singapore too. Some fifteen or sixteen persons were arrested, an investigation is underway, which will reveal the truth. The same is happening in Indonesia. The same is happening in Malaysia.
Wherever Muslims live, they don't like to live in co-existence with others, they don't like to mingle with others; and instead of propagating their ideas in a peaceful manner, they want to spread their faith by resorting to terror and threats. The world has become alert to this danger.
As far as we are concerned, we have been fighting against terrorism for the past 20 years. Terrorists have tried to grab Jammu and Kashmir through violence, but we have countered them. Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India, and will forever remain so. No other country's dream will ever, come true. Now other nations in the world have started to realize what a great mistake they did by neglecting terrorism. Now they are waking up, and are organizing themselves. They are putting together an international consensus against terrorism.
We tell them through our own example that a large number of non-Hindus live in our country, but there has never ever been religious persecution here. We have never discriminated between 'our people' and 'aliens'. The modes of worship may differ, but God is one. Only the paths to reach Him and realize Him can be different. It is for this reason that India's prestige is growing, India's reputation is rising. I have also had an occasion to visit many other countries. Everywhere Muslims live in large numbers. And the rulers in those countries are worried lest those Muslims embrace extremism, We told them that they should educate people on the true tenets of Islam, that they should also teach other subjects in madrasas. Islam too should be taught, but emphasise that people should live together and that it is necessary to accept that faith cannot be propagated on the strength of the sword.

In Nigeria and virtually all over Africa, conducting elections that are free, fair and without controversy remains a contentious issue.
It is usual after recent elections for the electorate to be polarized along the lines of government (usually the victors) and the opposition (usually the losers) with accusations and counter accusations of vote rigging, voter manipulation, ballot papers snatching, results being re-written etc., filling the air.
A case in point are the controversies that have trailed the outcomes of the recent gubernatorial elections held in Nigeria in the last two (2) years.
What does it Mean to Vote?
Per Bing, Microsoft's Search Engine, Vote can be a Noun (a formal indication of a choice between two or more candidates or courses of action, expressed typically through a ballot or a show of hands) or a Verb (give or register a vote: "they voted against the resolution")
Types of Voting
Basically, there are two (2) types of voting or selecting candidates in an election: Manual (wherein Ballot Papers are used as obtains in Nigeria and much of Africa) or Electronic (Where digital Election devices or computers that are connected online are used mostly in the developed countries).
In both types, a voting register of eligible voters (usually 18 years and above) is compiled and on the set date for elections (during which public holidays are usually declared with its attendant huge costs on the economy, voters are expected to visit various polling units to cast their votes, where they are accredited and made to go through several other procedures peculiar to each electoral commission before they eventually vote.
A major advantage of electronic voting over manual voting is that results of the voting can be available online, real-time, although this might not totally remove the suspicions of vote tampering such as what recently happened in the American elections, where Donald Trump triumphed over Hilary Clinton.
Why SW eVS2015?
We are pleased to announce the successful development of the world's first electronic voting platform via SMS, which makes it The World's Most Advanced Electronic Voting System!!!
Now, we can ALL Kiss Goodbye to ALL forms of Malpractices in our Elections…
How does it Work?
- Every Position being Contested for, would have a code e.g. President=A, Governor=B, etc.
- Every Candidate for each Position would also have a Code e.g. 1st Candidate for 1st Position=A1, 9th Candidate for 2nd Position=B9, etc.
- A Simple Alphabetic Filter would be employed to aid Coding.
- Every Eligible Voter's Phone No. is registered on the Platform
- On Voting day, Every Registered Voter would undergo a 2-stage Accreditation Process via SMS.
- Only successfully Accredited Voters, can Vote on Election Day via SMS.
- Most Convenient– No need to declare Public Holidays anymore just because of Elections. Vote at your convenience from the comfort of your homes, offices, etc.
- Completely Tamper-Proof– Results are automatically and instantly processed and displayed as votes come in via SMS.
- Completely Hacker-Proof– Since it is not "online" in the Conventional way, it is immune to any form of remote electronic attack.
- Completely Secured– The Location(s) of the Server(s) can be anywhere and not where most people would expect, thereby preventing any likely physical attack.
- Completely Credible– Every Vote (valid or invalid) is automatically logged (at a Maximum of 5-Levels) and details of votes can be produced on demand in cases of dispute
The developers of this system have already successfully applied for a copyright from the Nigerian Copyright Commission.
Where are we Now?
Although we have been able to demonstrate the correct workings of this system in a simulated environment, we are yet to effectively gauge its actual performance in a real-life scenario (like an actual election) and therefore we believe we still have a long way to go to convince the relevant authorities that this is the way to go if we are to make our elections (much) less controversial and very credible.
We are using this medium to solicit the cooperation of the appropriate bodies to enable us test this system in several real-life scenarios to give us the much-desired opportunity to detect potential bugs (and flaws), eliminate them and ultimately improve this system to a world-class solution that can be deployed anywhere in the world.

If someone asked you right now what you wish you were better at as a mom, do you know what you'd say? I bet you do. In fact, I bet you'd have a couple things pop into your mind. Or maybe, you'd actually have a list of things you'd change- things you wish you were better at, more of, less of...
I do. It's not hard for me to think of ways or times I fall short. It's not that I think I'm an exceptionally bad mother...I'm not overly pessimistic, or complete unfair to myself. It's just that motherhood is hard, and I am indeed far from perfect. And just about every day I'm hit with an example of how I could have been more patient, more loving, more present, more fun, less worried, less stressed, less tired...
So yeah. I could be better. But- every once in a while...I nail this whole motherhood thing. That's right. Even a blind squirrel (that's me) finds a nut once in a while (that's...um...I don't know, some sort of metaphor for successful parenting). So while it's easy for me to rattle off a bunch of things I could improve, I think it's important to recognize the wins when they come, and I'm working on getting better at recognizing them, and soaking up those rare mama moments of confidence and pride.
My most recent success story was a couple of weeks ago, the night before Piper was going to start at daycare. She was obviously worried about it, but wasn't saying much. We knew her well enough to know it was going to be a tough transition, so we tried to be as proactive as possible, telling her all about school, explaining what might be new or seem scary, and reading a book about a little raccoon who didn't want to go to school (It's The Kissing Hand, and it's awesome). I wasn't sure much of it was soaking in, but then, as I turned off the light and tucked her in, I bent down to give her a kiss, and she said in a tiny voice, on the verge of tears:
"Mama, I'm nervous to try new things."
Ugh. Break my heart. But also- I was so proud of her for putting words to her feelings, and sharing them with me. I told her how good it was that she could explain how she was feeling, and that we would help her if she got scared. I stayed for a bit, and we talked about all the things that weren't going to change, and about what she could do if she got nervous (talk to her teacher, cuddle her toys from home, remember her kissing hand...) She relaxed a bit, and snuggled into bed without any tears. And as proud as I was of her, I was also proud of myself. I had a real parenting moment- an opportunity to show love, and wisdom, and guide my little girl through something hard...and I had done it. I knew the next morning would be tough. I would struggle to get out of bed early enough, I'd have to rush and use my stern (mean) voice, and most likely both kids would cry at daycare dropoff, sure that I was abandoning them during their time of need (spoiler alert: all of those things happened). But in that moment, that night, I felt good. I was good.
So good for me. And good for you. Because I know that I'm not the only one stumbling around feeling like a blind squirrel- but I also know I'm not the only one who occasionally finds these beautiful, perfect nuts of motherhood success. So even just for today, push that list of to-do's and to-change's aside, and focus on the last awesome thing you did. In fact, brag about it here...I'd love to hear about your recent "nailed it" moments. Let's celebrate those mama moments together.
I'd love to keep the conversation going. Stop by Bowdenisms to hear more about what I'm awesome at and what I'm not...or say hi: @bowdenisms: instagram | twitter | facebook

Enterprise-wide Visibility
Businesses require analysis of data on-demand, near real-time, providing single version of truth accessed under established security rules. In addition, business users are not satisfied with having a static final analysis or KPI as the end state. Rather, KPIs, dashboards, or detailed reports represent the beginning of the analysis cycle. They require the ability to drill-down / drill-through the KPIs until they reach a point where 'action (s)' can be taken. Actionable insight is what they are after.
Due to the explosion of technology at dramatically lower price-points, it is creating newer business approaches from marketing to personalized promotions to providing preventive maintenance as required by devices / machines. With the advent of Industrial Internet (IIoT), inexpensive sensors are set to revolutionize medical devices, automobile, shipbuilding, gas turbine manufacturing, aerospace, defense, and retail businesses. These tectonic shifts in technology and their applications are resulting in explosion of volume, variety, and velocity of data - creating a substantial demand for Big Data analytics.
eQube-BI establishes a "Rapid-BI" infrastructure for enterprise-wide visibility. Its technological underpinnings of "in-memory" analytics, "in-context" analytics, and its innovative algorithms allows it to sift through massive amounts of data in parallel and present the necessary analysis in intuitive manner. It is able to correlate and mash-up critical information from streaming data or huge quantity of simulation / analysis data with PLM, ERP, and ALM data for Actionable Insight. Essentially, the eQube-BI architecture is ready today to effectively deal with the challenges of Big-data analysis.

At the end of the day, when it comes down to it, all we really want is to be close to somebody. So this thing, where we all keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other, is usually a load of bull. So we pick and choose who we want to remain close to, and once we've chosen those people, we tend to stick close by. No matter how much we hurt them, the people that are still with you at the end of the day - those are the ones worth keeping. And sure, sometimes close can be too close. But sometimes, that invasion of personal space, it can be exactly what you need.
Yeah so can those people now please stand up and raise their hand? Right.
i am sick and tired of being and feeling so alone. At school I am all by myself fore the first time in six years and it just aches. It just aches so much, to stand alone at all time. I am tired of guys, so I am going to be celibate for a few weeks. No men. Guys. Whatever. No kissing making out or anything sex related. I have to get a grip. I don't need men to feel at least something, I don't. I am trying to glue the pieces of my broken heart back on but I am not sure if this is the way I want to do it..
Physiotherapist said she's worried about my weight loss and asked me if I was on a diet, when I told her that it was possibly because of my period she laughed and said it was okay. My back aches and I feel like throwing up now, because honestly, it aches like someone is trying to kill me over here. Do you know the feeling when you've been out for a run, or when you've been dancing all night and when you wake up in the middle of the night because of cramp in your legs? That is what I am feeling on daily basis when I am talking about my back/neck ache. Not to mention the migraines.
I miss my best friends, one of them is in England and well she's a little bit down and upset - so she told me. And Iam worried that she's not having a good time, I am worried that she's not going to get the year of her dreams. That she's going to regret it and that would fucking suck because she's awesome and she deserves this more than anything.
My other friend, well I just haven't seen or spoken to her in such a long time.
I really feel like crying now, because living with Ana means you have to lie and eventually you'll isolate your self from the rest of the world. I had lied to myself that when my friends would know that I wouldn't feel so alone at all times, but nothing has changed.
Is it too much to ask to just have someone who loves me? Someone who holds me when I cry and someone who will be there for me whenever I need that person to be there?
Have been fasting all day, only had a little bit of dinner but took some laxatives so that's going to be alright. My footie team played 1-1 against Inter! So proud. :)
How is every one of you? Heard horrible news today about my Wintergirls book, they "suddenly" were out of stock and I'll have to try again next week to order it. SO BUMMED OUT. I could really use some good thinspiration other than just pictures.. Your blogs do help though, they are the most inspiring things ever so thank you.
Much love,

It's possible to get or download caterpillar-wiring diagram from several websites. If you take a close look at the diagram you will observe the circuit includes the battery, relay, temperature sensor, wire, and a control, normally the engine control module. With an extensive collection of electronic symbols and components, it's been used among the most completed, easy and useful wiring diagram drawing program. M8 3 Pin Wire Diagram. The wiring diagram on the opposite hand is particularly beneficial to an outside electrician. Sometimes wiring diagram may also refer to the architectural wiring program. The simplest approach to read a home wiring diagram is to begin at the source, or the major power supply. Basically, the home wiring diagram is simply utilized to reveal the DIYer where the wires are.
If you can't locate the information, get in touch with the manufacturer. The info in the diagram doesn't indicate a power or ground supply. The intention of the fuse is to safeguard the wiring and electrical components on its circuit. A typical watch's basic objective is to tell you the good time of day. When selecting the best type of computer cable to fulfill your requirements, it is very important to consider your upcoming technology plans.
Installing a tachometer on your Vehicles can assist in preventing critical repair problems, however. You might have a weak ground issue. The way the brain learns is a subject that still requires a good deal of study. How it learns can be associated by how it is able to create memories.
In a parallel circuit, each unit is directly linked to the power supply, so each system gets the exact voltage. There are 3 basic sorts of standard light switches. The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. M8 3 Pin Wire Diagram. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues. The voltage is the sum of electrical power produced by the battery. Be sure that the new fuse isn't blown, and carries the very same amperage.
Each fuse is going to have a suitable amp rating for those devices it's protecting. The wiring is merely a bit complicated. Our automotive wiring diagrams permit you to relish your new mobile electronics in place of spend countless hours attempting to work out which wires goes to which Ford part or component. Overall the wiring is really straight forward. There's a lot wiring that you've got to tie into your truck's wiring harness, but it's much easier to do than it seems. A ground wire offers short circuit protection and there's no neutral wire used. There's one particular wire leading from the distributor which may be used for the tachometer.
When you have just a single cable going into the box, you're at the close of the run, and you've got the simplest scenario possible. All trailer plugs and sockets are extremely easy to wire. The adapter has the essential crosslinks between the signals. Wiring a 7-pin plug on your truck can be a bit intimidating when you're looking at it from beyond the box.
The control box may have over three terminals. After you have the correct size box and have fed the cable to it, you're almost prepared to permit the wiring begin. Then there's also a fuse box that's for the body controls that is situated under the dash. M8 3 Pin Wire Diagram. You will find that every circuit has to have a load and every load has to have a power side and a ground side. Make certain that the transformer nameplate power is enough to supply the load that you're connecting.
The bulb has to be in its socket. Your light can be wired to the receiver and don't require supply additional capacity to light as it can get power from receiver. In the event the brake lights aren't working, a police officer may block the vehicle and issue a warning to create the repair within a particular time limit. Even though you would still must power the relay with a power source or battery. Verify the power is off before trying to attach wires. In case it needs full capacity to begin, it won't operate in any way.
Replacing thermostat on your own without a Denver HVAC technician can be quite harrowing if you don't hook up the wiring correctly. After the plumbing was cut out, now you can get rid of the old pool pump. It's highly recommended to use a volt meter to make sure there is no voltage visiting the motor, sometimes breakers do not get the job done properly, also you might have turned off the incorrect breaker. Remote distance is left up to 500m. You may use a superior engine ground. The second, that's the most frequently encountered problem, is a weak ground in the computer system. Diagnosing an electrical short can be extremely tough and costly.

Q: I've been dating this guy for a few months, and it's so over. He doesn't really treat me well. We're supposed to met up this week to talk about it, but I just want to be done with it. Do I have to break up with him in person? It's not immature to end it over the phone, right? 19, Northern CA
A: No, it's not immature. The way you break-up with someone depends on how important you were to each others lives. However, if he doesn't treat you well, then all bets are off anyways. You can break-up with him any damn way you want.
The days of needing to break up face to face are long gone. Sure, breaking up via text could be a little heartless (maybe), but breaking up over the phone is damn right courteous nowadays. And, if you've only been dating a few months I would venture to guess it wasn't even that serious (even if you think it was now).
It's not a sin to cut your ties and move on without all the drama associated with in person break-ups. Ugh, the crying and the fighting and the blame, who has time for it? Especially if he didn't treat you well in the first place, you don't owe him a single thing.
Look my love, you both entered into this relationship as consenting adults wanting to spend time together. If the time has come that you no longer what to spend time with him then there's nothing wrong with saying so in the most-convenient way. Avoid the screaming match and passive aggressive bull**** and just be done.
Break-ups are not fun for anyone, but you're not doing the guy a favor by saying it to his face. It's like pulling off a Band-Aid (or a shot of Tequila), get it over quickly and go have fun.

Ireland has my heart. Here is my time spent through Ireland in photos:
Ireland has my heart. Here is my time spent through Ireland in photos:
Two words to describe Ireland: Green and cozy.
Ireland is ranked in the top 10 safest countries in the world (The U.S. is #106). The people are warm and friendly and the scenery is hard to beat. It is one of my favorite European countries and a top destination I would recommend for solo travelers.
Here are 7 of the best things to see in Ireland:
The Cliffs of Moher & Galway
We took a day trip from Dublin to Cliffs of Moher and it was excellent. Our tour guide sang us Irish lullabies on the bus ride and told us ancient myths about faeries. We stopped in Galway for lunch, which is a lovely city as well.
Cool fact: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince was filmed here.
Trinity College Library – Dublin
I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS PLACE. It's a book lovers dream. Its also ranked one of the best libraries in the world. It holds the historic Book of Kells, a gospel book created by Celtic monks around 800 AD, along with journals, maps, special collections, etc.
Tour the Guinness Storehouse – Dublin
This is a must see. It's an impressive building that spreads across seven floors. You get a pint of Guinness and one of the best views of the city. I learned a lot about the science and art behind brewing beer.
See all of the amazing parks. Ireland has some of the most enchanting parks I've seen. The colors in the fall are out of this world. These pictures were taken in Dublin.
Tour some Castles and Cathedrals – Dublin It will be hard to see them all (they are EVERYWHERE) but I loved the guided tour of Christ Church Cathedral and St. Patrick's Cathedral, as well as Dublin Castle.
See the Irish Countryside. There is so much magic in the Irish countryside. Even if you only have a couple days in Dublin, be sure to leave the city because the green rolling hills, castles, and coastlines are breathtaking.
Explore Downtown Dublin – Dublin has a lot to see, both modern and ancient. The famous Temple Bar area is a must. There are also great museums dedicated to Irish authors.

In true Nintendo tradition, Niantic Labs has provided intrepid Pokémon fans with a fun little hack at the beginning of the game: Instead of starting out with Charmander, Bulbasaur, or Squirtle, you can choose Pikachu — if you're willing to walk.
First discovered by Polygon, you can pick everyone's favorite starter electric Pokémon by repeatedly ignoring the trio of starter Pokémon in front of you. Here's how to go about doing it.
How to get Pikachu as your starter Pokémon
- Sign up for a Pokémon Go account.
- Make your avatar.
- When the Professor prompts you to "Catch a Pokémon," walk away from Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander.
If you walk far enough away, the trio will respawn and your phone will vibrate. (We recommend walking along a sidewalk in your neighborhood to trigger this.)
- Repeat step 4 3-5 more times, and a fourth Pokémon will appear: Pikachu!
NOTE: Polygon managed to make Pikachu appear after just 4 respawns, but it took me 5 to make this happen. Your mileage may vary.
Even if you already have an active Pokémon Go account and missed out on this hack, you're not out of luck on catching Pikachu — all of the starter Pokémon, even the hidden ones, are available for capture around the world.
Which Pokémon did you start with? Any other questions about getting Pikachu? Let us know below.

Rumination has attracted increasing theoretical and empirical interest in the past 15 years. Previous research has demonstrated significant relationships between rumination, depression, and metacognition. Two studies were conducted to further investigate these relationships and test the fit of a clinical metacognitive model of rumination and depression in samples of both depressed and nondepressed participants. In these studies, we collected cross-sectional data of rumination, depression, and metacognition. The relationships among variables were examined by testing the fit of structural equation models. In the study on depressed participants, a good model fit was obtained consistent with predictions. There were similarities and differences between the depressed and nondepressed samples in terms of relationships among metacognition, rumination, and depression. In each case, theoretically consistent paths between positive metacognitive beliefs, rumination, negative metacognitive beliefs, and depression were evident. The conceptual and clinical implications of these data are discussed.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell speaks at a conference in Atlanta on Friday. (AP Photo/Annie Rice)
It isn't over the government shutdown, which remains stalemated over Trump's insistence on money for a border wall. Rather, the Federal Reserve looks likely to hold off on further interest rate hikes, as Trump has been insisting since he started inveighing against the central bank last summer.
"The final pieces of the puzzle fell into place on Wednesday that essentially ensure it will be months before the Fed contemplates another rate rise," the Wall Street Journal's Michael Derby writes. "In comments in speeches and press interviews, three of the four new voting members on this year's iteration of the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee all signaled they are willing to take some time to gain greater clarity about the outlook before doing anything with monetary policy."
The Fed's pause, to the extent it materializes, won't owe to Trump's jawboning (which he renewed in a Tuesday tweet). Instead, some central bank policymakers are shifting on the need to continue hiking because inflation appears tame — and a cloudy economic outlook warrants a go-slow approach.
Two of the regional Fed bank presidents who on Wednesday indicated a new willingness to wait — Eric Rosengren of Boston and Charles Evans of Chicago — have been relatively hawkish. But given recent uncertainty, including the stock market's choppiness, "current monetary policy seems appropriate for now," Rosengren said.
The comments came as minutes from the Fed's December meeting revealing central bank policymakers are feeling increasingly cautious about how to proceed. At that meeting, bankers closed out the year by approving their fourth rate hike of 2018; just a few months prior, they had penciled in another four hikes for this year. (Goldman Sachs continued projecting four hikes in 2019 until last month.) But with global growth stumbling, trade tensions rising and stocks gyrating, "many participants" said the Fed "can afford to be patient," the minutes said.
And Fed Chair Jay Powell confirmed the approach on Friday, when he struck what investors heard as a note more sensitive to financial markets during a question-and-answer session in Atlanta. "With the muted inflation readings that we've seen coming in, we will be patient as we watch to see how the economy evolves," Powell said.
Taken together, the commentary supports the conclusion "now firmly embedded in markets that the next rate hike will come no sooner than June, if it comes at all," Pantheon Macroeconomics's chief economist Ian Shepherdson wrote in a Wednesday note. But he also pointed to what he argued is some faulty logic in the stock market:
if I have this straight, stocks are rallying because investors think the trade war, which pushed stocks down, will soon be over. But they still think that the Fed can't hike again, even though the Fed only stepped back its rate forecasts because the trade war trashed stocks. Huh?— Ian Shepherdson (@IanShepherdson) January 9, 2019
Nevertheless, for the first few months of this year at least, the Fed looks primed to back off the monetary tightening that has been enraging Trump.
And, as CNBC's Jeff Cox notes, that should reduce one risk emanating from the White House: That the president would try to fire Powell in a fit of pique, a move that is "universally regarded as difficult to achieve and likely disruptive if not disastrous for the market."

— Trump walks out of shutdown negotiations. The Post's Erica Werner and co.: "Talks between [Trump] and congressional Democrats aimed at ending the partial government shutdown collapsed in acrimony and disarray Wednesday, with the president walking out of the White House meeting and calling it 'a total waste of time' after Democrats rejected his demand for border-wall funding. Furious Democrats accused Trump of slamming his hand on the table before he exited, and they said he ignored their pleas to reopen the federal government as they continue to negotiate over his border wall demands. With the shutdown nearing the three-week mark, some 800,000 workers are about to miss their first paycheck. 'He thinks maybe they could just ask their father for more money. But they can't,' said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), an implicit dig at Trump's wealthy upbringing."
Some House GOP defect on bill to reopen Treasury. The Post's Felicia Sonmez and John Wagner: "House Democrats passed a bill that would reopen the Treasury Department and ensure that the Internal Revenue Service would remain funded as tax season kicks off and millions of taxpayers begin to file their returns. Eight House Republicans voted in favor of the bill, defying the president's pleas for unity. But the measure has no path to passage, as Trump has said he opposes any legislation that does not include funding for the border wall."
Meanwhile, small business owners can't get loans, as the Small Business Administration has stopped processing applications, The Post reports. And the Treasury Department can't cover it's water bill.

"The S&P 500 Index was up for a fourth consecutive day led by energy producers, reaching the highest level in almost a month. The Nasdaq benchmarks were the strongest performers on strength in semiconductors and technology hardware manufacturers."
Why stocks tanked in December. CNBC's Liz Moyer: "When U.S. stocks posted their worst December since the Great Depression, traders put plenty of the blame on actions by the Federal Reserve and that other favorite scapegoat, computerized trading. But it now seems clear that the market was mostly anticipating what has actually happened in recent days: companies are cutting profit forecasts and trying to temper expectations for earnings growth this year after a big 2018.
"On the first day of trading in 2019 last week, Apple warned that its fiscal first-quarter sales wouldn't be as high as previously projected and said its profit margin would be ever so slightly narrower than forecast. The Nikkei Asian Review reported this week that Apple is cutting its iPhone production by 10 percent for the next three months. It is more of the same for other companies. Beverage giant Constellation Brands said Wednesday that its fiscal 2019 earnings per share would be $9.20 to $9.30, down from the range of $9.60 to $9.75 it forecast earlier. The company said it expects weak sales in its wine and spirits business next quarter."
Computers still bearish. WSJ's Stephanie Yang: "Investors have started to shake off last year's steep losses, helping markets regain some ground in 2019. But the robots are still almost uniformly bearish. Trend-following investment strategies—a computer-based way of trading that has become a major force in some markets—have gone from bullish to bearish to a degree not seen in a decade, according to an analysis of algorithms that buy or sell based on asset-price momentum.
"Funds that use such strategies likely went from holding net long positions, or betting that prices would rise, in four major asset classes—stocks, bonds, currencies and commodities—in the third quarter of 2017, to being short, or wagering against, everything but bonds by 2019. And even their embrace of bonds is bearish, signaling a flight to haven assets."
New tech stocks on the block. Annie Pei at CNBC: "It could be in with the new and out with the old when it comes to technology this year. While many large-cap tech names have started the year off strong, there's a wave of smaller, more new-age tech stocks that have seen a huge rally. Companies like Twilio, Etsy, Square, Roku and Dropbox have soared, with many up double digits in the first few trading days of 2019.
— May tries again to sell her Brexit deal. AP's Jill Lawless: "Britain's battle over Brexit turned into political trench warfare between Parliament and the government Wednesday, as Prime Minister Theresa May brought her little-loved EU divorce agreement back to lawmakers who appear determined to thwart her plans. A month after postponing a vote on the deal to avert near-certain defeat, May urged Parliament to support it to prevent Britain leaving the EU on March 29 with no agreement on exit terms and future relations, an outcome that could cause economic and social upheaval. …
"May postponed the vote in mid-December when it became clear lawmakers would resoundingly reject the agreement, a compromise deal that has left both pro-European and pro-Brexit politicians unhappy. Rather than warming to May's deal since then, lawmakers have tried to wrest control of Brexit from the government and put it in the hands of Parliament. An alliance of governing Conservative and opposition legislators has dealt May two defeats in as many days — symbolic setbacks that suggest a power shift from the executive to the legislature."

High-level talks may be next. Keith Bradsher at NYT: "The trade talks could help clear the way for higher-level talks this month when [Trump] attends the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Vice Premier Liu He, China's economic czar, is expected to go to Washington sometime after that... The United States delegation plans to report back to the White House to determine what happens next. The administration has set a March 2 deadline for raising tariffs on roughly two-fifths of annual American imports from China if no deal is reached."
But Trump could skip Davos. The White House is considering canceling the president's trip to the Swiss forum, which starts Jan. 22, if the shutdown is still dragging on, the WSJ's Michael Bender reports.
— Trump, GOP to battle on trade powers. Bloomberg's Jenny Leonard: "Trump is setting himself up for a fight with congressional Republicans if he seeks to expand his unilateral tariff powers or proceed with threatened duties on imports of cars and auto parts. Trump is expected to urge Congress in his State of the Union address this month to pass new legislation that would boost his powers to break down tariff and non-tariff barriers to American exports...
"Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, who now chairs the Finance Committee with jurisdiction over trade, told reporters Wednesday that Trump will not be allowed more power because Congress has already delegated too much authority to the executive branch. 'Oh, we aren't going to give him any greater authority, we've already delegated too much,; Grassley said in response to a question on the Bloomberg News report."
Grassley is also looking into his authority to see Trump's tax returns, telling reporters he has requested a briefing from nonpartisan tax advisors on the subject. House Democrats are expected to move quickly to try to recover the documents, and Grassley said he wants to learn more about the process.

"Mr. Bezos is the world's wealthiest man, with a net worth of about $137 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Ms. Bezos, who was instrumental in helping to launch Amazon, could be entitled to half the couple's wealth depending on where they divorce, attorneys said. If Ms. Bezos ends up with a chunk of Mr. Bezos's stake, she could influence shareholder votes on resolutions and press for changes at the company. No matter what, Mr. Bezos is expected to remain one of the company's largest holders. The next biggest holders are Vanguard Group and BlackRock Group Inc., each with a little more than 5% of the company. In a message Wednesday on Mr. Bezos's Twitter account, the couple said that after a trial separation, they had chosen to proceed with the divorce." (Bezos owns The Post.)
— Sweden is way ahead of AOC on tax rates. Bloomberg's Jonas O Bergman and Kati Pohjanpalo: "U.S. Congresswoman and Bronx-native Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would find herself at home in Stockholm. The newly minted lawmaker is proposing to lift the top marginal tax rate to 70 percent on incomes starting at $10 million. The idea has drawn both praise and jeers from across the political spectrum. For a real world example, critics and fans alike should look to Sweden. The Nordic country has a marginal tax wedge — the difference between the cost to the employer and what a worker takes home — of 69.7 percent on salaries above $79,000. That's almost 30 percentage points higher than in the U.S., and it kicks in a lot earlier than Ocasio-Cortez is proposing.
"Critics of high taxes claim the policy stifles economic growth by reducing the incentive for people to work. But Sweden's employment rate is 77.5 percent, beating the U.S.'s 71 percent. The Nordic country has also surpassed the U.S. in terms of economic growth this decade, expanding 2.7 percent a year, on average, compared with 2.2 percent for the U.S."
Larry Summers: AOC right in spirit. CNN: "Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers said Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York was "right in spirit" to call for higher taxes on the nation's highest earners. 'The congresswoman is right,' Summers told CNN's Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday. 'We need more progressive taxes in the United States. The top one percent and the top tenth of a percent and the top hundredth of a percent, they should all be paying more than they are.'"

How to draw crane in different ways?Sometimes a man wants to do something unusual, for example, to draw a crane. But to satisfy their desire, it is sometimes very difficult. After all, no skill, and where to start is not always know. In this article we will tell you how you can easily, and most importantly, fast to draw a crane for the beginner or child.
Drawing with children
Child has their vision of the world, and it is to be understood. But in his work he should not ignore the canons of the image. How to draw a crane in stages? That's what we analyze. The first thing we need to identify the bird. This can be done with an oval or just to draw the outline. Don't worry, if the neck is too long or legs too skinny. This will be fixed in the future. When the primary circuit is ready, the planned parts: wing, tail feathers. This is necessary in order to draw a pie with pencil realistic, because if you do not, it may be a situation, when the wing just didn't fit in the body.
Sketch is ready, start refining the form. At this stage, you need to make the neck of the bird is longer and the torso more elegant. We will increase the bird's tail and feet make thicker. It remains to add feathers on the wings and work out the details of the head.
the Crane, preparing for takeoff
to Draw the bird we will be on the same lines, that worked in the previous paragraph. First you need to draw a pie in the form of a loop. Also planned from the water in which the bird stands. In the second stage, when we come to the refinement of the components may be a problem with the image of wings. It's hard to draw the same. It is not necessary to strive for similarity. The feathers on the wings may lie in different ways. And remember, the wing that is far away, behind the neck of the crane, will be less in 2 times than that which is in the foreground. Water is optional to draw, just her outline. And lastly working out the details. Here you need to outline the line that separates the wings from the body, to draw the feathers, and also to draw the details of the head, beak, and eyes.
Stylized craneIf you don't need to paint a realistic bird, then you can dream up. For example, paint of a crane in a stylised form. How to do it? First you need to draw the outline of a bird. Despite the fact that we have it is unrealistic, it is still the silhouette has to be recognizable. Once the outline is ready, begin to fill it. The parts to separate from each other, use different tilt patterns. For example, the body twists can be located exactly, but on the wings and tail they must be in a different location. Pay special attention to the neck. It does not need to be shortened, because you can get a crane and a duck. Legs drawn thick sticks with sharp tips. Don't forget to mark the line of your knees. Draw eyes and beak, and added small parts in the form of points.
Crane soft material
Before you paint the bird with coal, you need to make a sketch. How to draw a crane with a pencil step by step, we discussed in the first paragraph, and now look at how to work with soft material. You need to work quickly so as not to bring on a sheet of mud. Start painting from the top down. Being the head, the beak neck. First barely press on the crayon, and then trace the resulting contour is a thick line. On the head of the intended crest, and the neck – a shadow. To give the drawing volume, slightly RUB the charcoal with your finger. Moving on to body image. First, the torso of a crane doing a gray, bold lines to draw the wings and tail. Strokes can show the feathers on the chest and neck. Two thin lines of the planned legs. The last action – represented the water surface.
Depicted the bird spots
Not always in order to draw a picture, we need to draw all the details. Sometimes it is enough to outline the most important parts of a bird. The brain alone will add a picture. Try to draw the crane in this technique. If the images are unusual, do not despair, start will still have full prorisovany contour of the bird. Because otherwise you may get out of proportion, and then the brain will not be able to finish your part of the job. After drawing the sketch, you can begin applying the stain. You should start with the lightest color, in our case grey. To them, we draw the inner part of the wings and outline the tail. Now take a black pastel or charcoal and draw out the circuit. The line should be soft, it can in some places be interrupted. In our case, we do not draw the lower part of the bird denoted by the legs. Final action – placed colored accents. Put pink spots on the head, legs, wings and a little rubbing pink in the body. Remember that accent color must be single and preferably do it on the head. All other spots must not get out, they go into the background. Optionally the muzzle you can give even more realism, adding the eyes and beak, clearly loomed.

You're ready to give GJ Bogmats a call, but then you realise that there's some information that you need first…
Which size timber bog mats do I need?
G J Bogmats supply a variety of different timber bog mats, each serving different uses, and often made from a variety of wood types to deal with different load capacities.
So where do you start?
Our downloadable PDFs can be found on our "Product Specs" section, and give the specific details of five different types of high quality timber bog mats on offer from GJ Bogmats. It's helpful to know what these different specification types mean in relation to your individual project so that you can buy or hire the relevant product.

Small Projects
If you're looking to place temporary roadways in place, whether to enter building sites or to guide your festival goers to the main stage, then our 100MM bog mats are the ones for you.

These thin but durable timber bog mats are perfect for use on industry infrastructure projects, or to serve as thoroughfare for dumper trucks and other lighter construction machinery.
Medium Projects
Our 150MM timber bog mats are a little more robust – let's call them the middleweight champions of the bog mat world. These oak and tropical hardwood mats are capable of carrying up to roughly 65 tonnes per mat. This means that they're perfect for small cranes and middle sized trucks as well as supporting small structures. This far more durable mat is also the most suitable for marine projects such as piling, jetties and pontoons, as well as civil engineering operations.
Large Projects
Our 200mmand 250mm timber bog mats are the heavyweights, allowing for up to 80 tonnes per mat. This allows for most construction equipment, cranes and caterpillar machinery to be used safely on moderately flat ground, and is ideal for working platforms and tracks for heavy plant traffic.

There are a number of reasons why you would want to create a view in a xib file. These are the most common ones: you want to reuse that view, your storyboard is too crammed, or maybe your want to avoid creating the view in code.
Although it sounds like a simple task, it is very cumbersome, especially if you are a beginner.
Let's start!
I. Creating the view
First open the New File window (⌘N), go to User Interface, select View, then press Next.
After renaming it press Create. Now you have to create the class that goes with it. To do this, create a subclass of UIView, and give it the same name as the xib. I will name these files CustomView.
To connect the xib to the class go to the xib, select File's Owner from Document Outline, then add the class in the Identity inspector.
Now for the tricky part. The view from the xib is not the same as the class one. Instead, you have to add the view from the xib as a subview to the class view.
Add these to CustomView.m:
// We'll use this to store the view instantiated from the xib @property (strong, nonatomic) UIView *xibView; // Instantiates and returns the view from the xib - (UIView *)loadViewFromNib { NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle bundleForClass:[self class]]; UINib *nib = [UINib nibWithNibName:"CustomView" bundle:bundle]; UIView *xibView = (UIView *)[nib instantiateWithOwner:self options:nil][0]; return xibView; } // Stores the view from the xib, configures it, then adds it as a subview to CustomView. - (void)xibSetup { self.xibView = [self loadViewFromNib]; self.xibView.frame = self.bounds; self.xibView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight; [self addSubview:self.xibView]; }
Now you just have to override the initializers so that they call –xibSetup.
–initWithFrame: is used when creating a view in code and –initWithCoder is called when the view is created in the Interface Builder. To avoid later bugs, implement both of them.
- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder { self = [super initWithCoder:aDecoder]; if (!self) return nil; [self xibSetup]; return self; } - (instancetype)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame { self = [super initWithFrame:frame]; if (!self) return nil; [self xibSetup]; return self; }
II. Designing the view.
At this point you can use CustomView, but it's still empty. Go to CustomView.xib. As default
the view is shown as in full screen. If you want to change its size go to the Attributes inspector, select Freeform at Size and None at Status Bar.
Now drag&drop items on it to achieve the wanted design, just like in the storyboard. Don't forget to add the constraints for Autolayout. Control-drag from these items to CustomView.h or CustomView.m to add outlets to the class, just like you would do in a controller.
You can now use CustomView either in code or in Interface Builder. To use it in the storyboard drag a generic view where you would want the CustomView to be and set its class to CustomView in the Identity inspector.
Useful tips:
- Normally the generic view remains white although its class is set to CustomView, but you can make the CustomView to be shown by putting IB_DESIGNABLE in front of @interface
- Furthermore, you can edit some properties of CustomView directly from the Attributes inspector if you write in front of them.
You can download the sample project from here: https://github.com/IustinBulimar/ViewFromXib

The Boston Globe's got a fascinating, quick slideshow called "Use Your Illusion," about some of the actual magic tricks the CIA used during the Cold War.
Weirdly, it makes me want to incorporate some of these tactics for covert information exchanges about Christmas gifts, and the smuggling of packages into my tiny condo. "Appearing a little dumb can be the deceiver's best friend..."
