The One and the Many/
If you visit Statens Museum for Kunst - the National Gallery in Copenhagen - the only way that you can avoid looking at The One and the Many is by not actually going inside the building as this colossal installation fills the entrance hall.
That hall rises up through two storeys with a high domed ceiling and has galleries running around it and a modern staircase but this work from the partnership of Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset dominates and fills the hall. It pushes visitors to the edges of the space.
It is a stark, dark, grey, concrete cube representing a four-storey apartment building or, to be more straightforward, what in England would be called a council block. There is an entrance door on one side with bells and name plates but you cannot get in because there is an answer phone and no one is in apart from a young man on a mattress on the floor in his room dead to the World or worse.
Some rooms are lit and let you look into the interior through the windows … not just at the ground floor but at the upper levels as well from the gallery. Each room, or cell, belongs to a different tenant … each room from its contents and furniture hints at a back story but above all shows you, the voyeur looking in, that the tenant is trapped. Not trapped in the room for only one room is actually occupied, but trapped in a life they are surviving or facing or coping with by dreaming or denying. There is the room of an old lady, or I presume an old lady, which is spotlessly clean with carefully washed net curtains and her knitting only just abandoned on the armchair; there is the sitting room of a man escaping by watching football on his TV with the coffee table covered in empty beer bottles and cigarette ends, a neighbour has a room set out with bland good taste but needing drama or whatever has the TV tuned to X-factor and, heart-wrenchingly sad, the kitchen of an immigrant from the far east with the poster of the woman they would like to be or want to look like and surrounded by everything that can be bought that is pink. Not pretty, soft pinks but harsh strong pinks. Like a Flemish or Dutch still life you have to keep looking further and further in to the image at the details.
If this all sounds grim it isn't. If it sounds pretentious that's my fault because of the way I've written about it. Everyone who lives in an apartment or is worried about ending up in a flat if they have to 'down size' or has aspirations to get away from mum and dad and get some independence should see this work. Anyone who tries to claim that they are not, above all, defined by what they own, should look carefully at this piece and then look around them when they get home.
At some stage it is also important to watch the film in a side gallery of an interview with the artists because there you begin to understand their observational skills and the way they use what is essentially the stripped-back but laser-sharp viewpoint of a cartoonist but with a very real sense of humanity to create the narrative for their tenants and in doing that make the viewer take stock. In the film at one point they admit that they feel as if they are outsiders and the whole point is that it takes an outsider to see what is happening in this way.
Visitors to the gallery eagerly look in through the windows or read the name plates on the entrance bells and laugh nervously about the piles of junk mail inside that no one has bothered to clear. One of the mail boxes has been forced open and left bent and un-lockable and that is in part what is brilliant about this work because just two years ago my mail box in the apartment where I was living then was broken into in just this way … it is that classic 'shock of recognition' that makes you feel that art has a message.
This is parody and there is real gentle, and mocking humour running through the ideas but what is haunting is that there is no hint of a future. That is what is grim. One window has no light but has a sign to show it is to let so new people will arrive. Is this The Hotel California? The style is hyper realism but stripped back and thin, almost hungry … or is that trying to read too much into it?
I spent a lot of time watching people's reactions. Watching parents lift up children to look in through windows, trying to judge their reactions, but who was watching me?
The One and the Many was created in 2010 and before this was shown at the Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art in Oslo. It will be at SMK until 4 January 2015 and is shown along with two other major installations by Elmgreen & Dragset under the title Biography.

When small offenses have major negative consequences: Effects of rudeness on individuals and teams functioning
פרופ' אמיר ארז
Rude and disrespectful behaviors are very prevalent in organizations—and the situation is getting worse. One-fourth of employees polled in the US in 1998 said they were treated rudely once or more a week, by 2013 that number had risen to nearly half. But is rudeness a real problem? Can't just people ignore rudeness or simply "get over it" and go about their daily tasks? For the past decade, along with multiple co-authors I have focused on learning more about some objective effects of rudeness. Overall, we found that rudeness directly affects cognition. Those who encounter rudeness cannot pay attention to information, don't remember information, solve problems less well, and perform poorly on various tasks. In turn, in multiple studies we found that rudeness has devastating effects on individuals and groups performance. For example, in one study we found that relatively mild rude comments from an external source explained 47% of the variance in medical teams' abilities to perform well tasks such as resuscitating, ventilating, treating shock, and ordering and mixing medications. In another study we found that exposure to rudeness caused both anesthesiology residents and medical students to be locked onto an erroneous first diagnosis. In another study we found that incidents of rudeness during surgeries had significant effect on adverse outcomes for patients. Overall, our studies show that many of these effects are immediate, devastating to individuals and teams performance, and they are not under the conscious control of individuals and therefore people cannot simply "get over it." Thus, our findings suggest that rudeness can tarnish a culture and that it can take a toll on people and organizations in multiple ways.

Among these places are National Historical Monuments. My family and I rarely miss an opportunity to visit one when we find them. One that I have been visiting since I was a child is the Fort Frederica National Monument on St. Simons Island along the coast of Georgia.
In fact, some of my earliest memories are of walking around this well-preserved and protected historical site that was once a thriving military town of over 1500 people. It was established by the British to protect this part of the southeast from incursions from the Spanish who were, at that time, still competing for territory in what is now the USA.
The British, though, finally defeated the Spanish in the well-named Battle of Bloody Marsh and their foes retreated, never again to threaten the British colonies with invasion. After that, the military town began to lose its funding from the Crown and since it basically had only one reason for existing, the village population dwindled until no one was left and the maritime forests of pines and oak and palmetto covered it all and hid it from us.
Today the former town and fort have been carefully excavated and partially restored. The grounds are now immaculately kept and adorned with information signs with an excellent modern visitors center and museum attached.
My parents thought the monument was so beautiful that they requested that their combined ashes be scattered there, at the verge of the marsh. And so they were. This is one more reason I try to stop to visit the place whenever we travel near it.
|Part of the fort with old cannon at the edge of the marsh.
|Carole took this photo of me with this gigantic Live oak.
|These old foundations have been excavated along the various streets of the almost vanished military village.
|The grounds are beautiful and well maintained.

By Michael Hoffer
YARMOUTH — The resurgence of the Yarmouth boys' basketball program over the past three seasons has provided countless highlights.
One of the more memorable came Saturday night at Yarmouth High when arguably the finest player in program history hit a personal milestone.
Facing defending Western Class B champion Cape Elizabeth, senior sharpshooter Johnny Murphy ended the suspense quickly, draining a jumper and a 3-pointer in the game's first minute-and-a-half, then adding a layup after a steal with 1:11 to go in the opening quarter, giving him 1,000 points for his prolific high school career.
"It was a very nice surprise," said Murphy, who will attend Bates College in the fall. "To be honest, I had no idea I was even close. Randomly this season, coach (Adam Smith) did a point total and I was 16 away. It was never something that was on my mind or something that was a personal goal. I just wanted to win games. It's a great honor, but I owe all of that to my teammates and my coaches, all who have helped so much in making me a better player and person."
The game was momentarily halted so athletic director Susan Robbins could present the game ball to Murphy, who handed it over to his father. Murphy was hailed by his teammates, coaches and all on hand.
Murphy's layup gave the Clippers a 13-10 lead, but things quickly headed south for the hosts as the Capers erupted for 16 straight points to seize control. Making matters worse, Murphy picked up his fourth foul with 2:19 to go in the first half and played sparingly the rest of the night.
Yarmouth trailed by 10, 29-19, at halftime and got within eight on a few occasions in the third period, but poor foul shooting (the Clippers were just 3-of-18 in the first three quarters) sealed its doom and Cape Elizabeth closed the quarter on a 16-4 run and rolled to a 64-48 victory.
"I would have traded my 1,000th point in a heartbeat for the win," Murphy said.
Murphy finished with 12 points on the night, giving him 1,005 for his career, leaving him just 19 points shy of the school record held by the late Steve Morris (Class of 1968), who went on to serve as a longtime coach and athletic director at North Yarmouth Academy before losing a battle with cancer in 2002.
Smith said that Murphy's milestone further validates Yarmouth's legitimacy as a top program.
"People come out to watch the team and individuals like Johnny, they talk about the games and they read about us along with the other 'top' teams," he said. "That has elevated the level of performance and expectations in the program. Johnny scoring his 1,000th point and in the next couple of games, breaking the school scoring record, gives more excitement and notoriety to our program. We started out winning some games, then beating teams we hadn't beaten in the past, going to the tournament and winning a game in the tournament. Now we have a 1,000-point scorer. All of this is not a big deal at Greely, Falmouth or Cape, but it's the progression we have had to take to be taken seriously in this league."
The loss was just Yarmouth's third in 10 games, but the Clippers have yet to contend with a top team. Their losses to Cape Elizabeth, Falmouth and Greely came by an average of 17-plus points.
"I have felt like we've been going in the right direction, then we don't seem to be able to compete for four quarters with the top teams," Smith lamented. "We rebuild, while bigger and better programs reload."
Yarmouth went to Poland Tuesday (too late for this edition) as Murphy sought the 20 points to put him over the hump as the program's all-time leading scorer. The Clippers (fourth in the latest Western Class B Heals) then face another stern test Friday when they host Falmouth (which beat them 52-33 Dec. 13 in Falmouth).
Murphy and Smith expect Yarmouth to turn the corner and remain in the hunt for the remainder of the season.
"We're at least not fearful of these teams like we were in the past," Smith said. "Effortwise, I know what I'm going to get every night. I love that about this group. Going into the season, with only two returning players from a year ago, if you told me we'd be 7-3, I would have been ecstatic. As a coach, you never seem to be satisfied, so I look forward to the challenge of getting this team to the consistent level of play it will take to be competitive in the tournament."
"I'm very happy and excited with where our team is right now," Murphy added. "We're a lot better than people thought we were going to be. There are a few areas we need to work on. The good thing is that they're areas that are easiest to improve. We already have the defensive and offensive intensity a team needs. We don't make many turnovers. We need to improve upon foul shots and converting easy opportunities like layups.
"I know that this is not where we're going to be come playoff time, but we're only going to get better and I'm confident we'll be able to make some sort of playoff run come February."

"Racial and gender prejudice are dramatic backdrops to our modern era. The dramatic splitting of the atom—"nuclear fission"—was a discovery which changed our world. Yet few know that it was a woman physicist who discovered the power of nuclear energy just after her dramatic escape from Nazi Germany. The irony of the story of Lise Meitner (1878 – 1968) is that her laboratory partner of thirty years, Otto Hahn, who remained in Berlin throughout the Third Reich, was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1944. Meitner's exclusion from sharing the Nobel Prize was thus integrally related to her escape from Nazi Germany to Sweden and the consequent social 'marginalization' of her important physics research and discoveries. Albert Einstein called the respected Viennese pioneer in nuclear physics "our Madame Curie." (Above quoted from http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/meitner-lise)
The brilliant Lise Meitner was the mother of nuclear power, but you've probably never heard of her! Her research contributed greatly to the discovery of nuclear fission. She was an Austrian physicist who worked on radioactivity and nuclear physics. Otto Hahn and Meitner led the small group of scientists who first discovered nuclear fission of uranium when it absorbed an extra neutron; the results were published in early 1939.
Lise Meitner was one of eight children. When she finished school at age 14, she was barred from higher education, as were all girls in Austria. When Lise showed an early propensity for mathematics, she was privately tutored, her father insisting that each of his daughters receive the same education as his sons. (Three of Lise's sisters later also earned their Ph.D. degrees). Inspired by the discoveries of William Röntgen and Henri Becquerel, she was determined to study radioactivity. When she turned 21, women were finally allowed into Austrian universities. Two years of tutoring preceded her enrollment at the University of Vienna; there she excelled in math and physics and earned her doctorate in 1906. She wrote to Marie Curie, but there was no room for her in the Paris lab and so Meitner made her way to Berlin. There she collaborated with Otto Hahn on the study of radioactive elements, but as an Austrian Jewish woman (all three qualities were strikes against her), she was excluded from the main labs and lectures and allowed to work only in the basement. For several years she was not permitted access to the laboratories of the Berlin Institute for Chemistry where she worked as an unpaid research scientist (1907–1912)
In 1912, Hahn and Meitner moved to a new university and Meitner had better lab facilities. Meitner became an official University Lecturer in 1922, but even in liberalizing Berlin the press jokingly reported the topic of her inaugural speech as "Cosmetic Physics" instead of cosmic physics. She led several courses in quantum physics with her outstanding graduate students (such as Leo Szilard and Max Delbrueck) as assistants, until Adolf Hitler's decrees in April, 1933 stripped Jewish academics of their professorial positions.
At first she was an unpaid "guest" under Hahn, but most people knew they were equals in their research team. From 1924 to 1934, the team gained international prestige and were nominated for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for ten consecutive years. Though their partnership was split up physically when she was forced to flee Nazi Germany in 1938, Hahn and Meitner continued to collaborate.
Meitner continued her work in Sweden. After Hahn discovered that uranium atoms were split when bombarded with neutrons, Meitner and her nephew Frisch took a hike in the snowy Swedish woods, animatedly discussing the puzzling "bursting" process. Then they realized: if E=mc2, that mass could not be lost, but the nucleus would be "split in two.". She calculated the energy released in the reaction and named the phenomenon "nuclear fission." The discovery—which eventually led to the atomic bomb ("You must not blame scientists for the use to which war technicians have put our discoveries," Meitner would say in 1945)—won Hahn the Nobel Prize in 1944. Meitner was left out by the Awarding Committee.
She carried on with her research and helped produce one of the first peacetime nuclear reactors. It wasn't until 1966 that Meitner really received any attention. During her 60 years of work in the field of atomic physics she wrote 128 articles, and served on the United Nations Committee on atomic energy. In 1992 it was announced that she would have an element named after her, meitnerium. Meitner spent most of her 70s and 80s traveling, encouraging women students to "remember that science can bring both joy and satisfaction to your life."
Lise's parents were assimilated Viennese Jews, who did not practice Judaism. In 1908 on a visit to Vienna Lise formally withdrew from the Jewish community and was baptized at the Evangelical Congregation.
(The above biography is compiled from information/excerpts from Wikipedia and Jewish Women encyclopedia)
Reading the above makes me marvel at the courage and determination of this woman whose ability and worth as an individual overcame the male chauvinistic social and economic culture and racial prejudices of her time. She was a woman and a Jew. These went against her in that time. She was made to work and research without pay and under harsh physical condition. She was not given a recognition which she rightly deserved. She was threatened with her life. But all these did not stop her from becoming a woman of great worth, perhaps not in monetary terms, but in the history of mankind. She will not be forgotten. She became a model of overcomer.

Guest reviews
I ordered a room with toilet in the hallway, but was given a room with my own toilet for the same price – a pleasant surprise. Simple but convenient room. Clean. Good value for money. The breakfast buffet for 5,00 EUR in the restaurant next door was also nice.
- Jarle, Solo traveller, Norwegen
The best thing about this hotel is its location, you can reach easily by walk Main station and all the important sightseeing. The single room was nice, they cleaned it every day and change the towels. Breakfast was also ok. When you are planing to stay all day out, exploring the city and in the evening to go out somewhere… I found this hotel as a good value for money in comparison with the other hotels in Berlin.
- Katarina, Group of friends, Germany
This hotel occupies one floor (the third I think) in a multistore building. I've expected the worst when I'd paid the price, but it turned out to be a very pleasant place for this money. The room was unexpectedly good with a full size mirror, a big wardrobe, a chair, bed-side tables, bed lamps, an alarm clock. In the bathroom there is only a shower cabin, no bath-tub, a small wash-stand, a small mirror and a !!! hair dryer. Two towels, a sachet shampoo and a bar soap were prepared for me as well. The room and the bathroom were very clean, except for the hair dryer, which was obviously greasy.

The Avengers assembled at the top of the box office charts this weekend, but fell short of breaking records.
Coming in the #1 spot this week is Avengers: Age of Ultron (read our review), which grossed $187.6 million during its first three days. At first glance, that's obviously nothing to sneeze at since it is good enough for the second highest opening weekend of all time. However, it is a little alarming (to an extent), considering that it fell way short of its 2012 predecessor, which owns the record for most profitable debut at $207.4 million domestically. Given that Age of Ultron was originally expected to surpass that astronomic total, one may wonder why there wasn't as much audience interest this time around.
First, the novelty of seeing Marvel's heroes come together on the big screen has worn off now that we've already seen the first Avengers film, and given that this sequel couldn't replicate the critical reception of The Avengers, the interest amongst casual viewers may have been diminished slightly. Also, Saturday (which saw the film take a 32.3 percent drop from Friday) was a massive sports day that included Spurs/Clippers Game 7 and the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight and almost certainly took away some business from the movies. Nevertheless, Age of Ultron opened huge and should be on its way to becoming one of the highest-grossing films ever made.
Coming in second is The Age of Adaline with $6.2 million. The film is now at $23.4 million domestically.
After spending the whole month of April at the top of the charts, Furious 7 was finally dethroned this weekend, finishing in third with $6.1 million. The action sequel has increased its domestic total to $330.5 million. On the worldwide side of things, the film currently ranks fourth on the all-time charts with a jaw-dropping $1.4 billion global gross. Time will tell if it can overtake the first Avengers movie in the coming weeks.
The #4 film for the week is Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2. The comedy sequel made $5.5 million this weekend to up its domestic total to $51.1 million. That figure is a 62.4 percent decrease from the business it did last week, indicating that this is a film that will not hold well. After being in second the past two weeks, falling two spots down suggests that viewers aren't interested in more adventures with Blart.
Rounding out the top five this weekend is Home. DreamWorks' latest added $3.3 million to its domestic total this weekend, which is now at $158.1 million.
In a bizarre twist, Kenneth Branagh's Cinderella (which was released eight weeks ago) managed to come in at #6 this week with $2.3 million. We point this out because last week the fairy tale reimagining was twelfth, and it is odd for an older movie to see this kind of resurgence on a week-to-week basis. Whatever the reason may be, the film is now at $193.6 million domestically.
The #7 film this week is Ex Machina, which made $2.2 million. Despite critical praise and a larger marketing push, the indie sci-fi drama has only managed to gross $10.8 million during its run.
Horror film Unfriended comes in at #8 with $1.9 million. The film is now at $28.5 million domestically.
Romantic drama The Longest Ride is the #9 film with $1.7 million. The Nicholas Sparks adaptation has made $33.2 million during its run to this point.
Finishing out the top ten is The Woman in Gold. The film increased its domestic total to $24.5 million after it grossed $1.6 million this past weekend.
[NOTE: These are only weekend box office estimates - based on Friday and Saturday ticket sales coupled with adjusted expectations for Sunday. Official weekend box office results will be released on Monday, April 27 - at which time we'll update this post with any changes.]

What Sprycel 50 mg (dasatinib 50 mg) is and what it is used for
Sprycel 50 mg (dasatinib 50 mg) contains the active substance dasatinib. Sprycel 50 mg (dasatinib 50 mg) is used to treat chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) in adults. Leukaemia is a cancer of white blood cells. These white cells usually help the body to fight infection. In people with CML, white cells called granulocytes start growing out of control. Sprycel 50 mg (dasatinib 50 mg) inhibits the growth of these leukaemic cells.
Sprycel 50 mg (dasatinib 50 mg) is also used to treat Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), and lymphoid blast CML in adults who are not benefiting from prior therapies. In people with ALL, white cells called lymphocytes multiply too quickly and live too long. Sprycel 50 mg (dasatinib 50 mg) inhibits the growth of these leukaemic cells.
These medicines are not to be used with Sprycel 50 mg (dasatinib 50 mg):
- ketoconazole, itraconazole – these are antifungal medicines
- erythromycin, clarithromycin, telithromycin – these are antibiotics
- ritonavir – this is an antiviral medicine
- dexamethasone – this is a corticosteroid
- phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital – these are treaments for epilepsy
- rifampicin – this is a treatment for tuberculosis
- famotidine, omeprazole – these are medicines that block stomach acids
How to take Sprycel 50 mg (dasatinib 50 mg)
Sprycel 50 mg (dasatinib 50 mg) will only be prescribed to you by a doctor with experience in treating leukaemia. Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
Sprycel 50 mg (dasatinib 50 mg) is prescribed for adults.
The starting dose recommended for patients with chronic phase CML is 100 mg once a day. The starting dose recommended for patients with accelerated or blast crisis CML or Ph+ ALL is 140 mg once a day.
Take your tablets at the same time every day.
How to take Sprycel 50 mg (dasatinib 50 mg)
Swallow the tablets whole. Do not crush them. They can be taken with or without a meal.

I'll be totally honest. Writing has taken a back-burner to family stuff these last few weeks. If you read my former blog post, The Domino Effect, you'll know what I mean. My mom's health issues have continued and it's been a scary time for our family. So I don't have today's blog post quite ready.
BUT I did find time to work with my editor at Kiplinger to produce a 10 question quiz on college savings (aka 529) plans. Check out the quiz here and let me know what you think.
Forever Faithful,

When Earthly Marriage Feels Preferable to Heaven./
This summer as I prepared for the birth of my third child, an otherwise typical Facebook scroll led me to an article on reducing childbirth-related deaths in the advanced world of American medicine. Having experienced postpartum complications in the past, I was surprised to learn excessive bleeding and hemorrhage, issues my hospital had handled quickly and easily when I experienced them, are in reality leading causes of maternal death. I spent the better part of a week in tears, unable to lift the weight of anxiety and fear of death, of leaving my husband and family.
My grief, I know, stems from a realization I've recently come to; one I wish didn't have such a hold on me. Here it is: as a Christian, I'm embarrassed to say I often don't feel ready for heaven. Not in the sense of being unprepared, though I almost certainly am--aren't we all, except by grace--but in the sense that my fully human, earthly mind can't fathom something that will fill my soul more than being married to my husband and raising our family.
I find myself secretly hoping Christ's Second Coming won't happen during my lifetime. I tear up immediately when I think of being separated from my husband. I frequently wrestle with the idea that, theologically, there's no marriage in heaven.
I am immeasurably blessed by my husband, a man who shows me Christ's love in such a tangible way. By extension, I wonder if, by loving him so much, my love for the Father somehow fades into second place. I am in awe of my husband, thankful to him, passionate about him, and I trust him completely, in a way that goes far deeper than just feelings. Shouldn't I see God in this way, and to an even deeper extent?
I know, of course, that my husband isn't--nor should he be--an idol or ultimate source of my happiness. Yet the thought of our being apart, even if it means one of us is rejoicing before our maker at the heavenly feast, is hard to contend with.
Have you experienced this, the fear that heaven couldn't possibly be as joyful as living out your vocation on earth--one you've probably dreamed of and prayed for for years--and its counterpart, a fear of death? I wish I could say I've come through this fire with wisdom to spare on the other side, but the truth is that my only recourse has been prayer. Specifically, I ask the Lord to increase my desire for him and to silence my anxieties when I think of eternity. We live in the longing, after all, we humans--imprinted with a restlessness and longing for the fullness of the divine from the moment of our creation. My prayer is that these longings of mine be directed well, aimed fearlessly at the heart of heaven.
I find peace in the thought that if love and marriage on earth are meant to give us the tiniest glimpse of eternal life, and if heaven is such a banquet of perfect love, free from our weakness and imperfection, I don't even know what I'm missing out on. Of course it's better than anything I can imagine, because in my humanity, I literally can't imagine it.
For now, I know my call: to love and sanctify my husband and family and to receive their purifying love in return. And know I'm meant to trust that until these missions are fulfilled, in whatever time the Father intends, death needn't be a concern.
St. Augustine famously prayed, Make me a saint, but not yet. He echoes my own thoughts in relation to life and death: Get me to Heaven, but not yet. I pray to desire it now, to live with eternity in mind; to be not afraid.
If fears like mine have taken hold of your own heart, know I'm there with you in the tension and that you have my prayers. If any particular practices have brought consolation to your soul, we love hearing your wisdom and sharing in your sisterhood.

Industry Specific Services Restaurant / Tavern
Through your efforts and that of Chris Glenister, we ended up securing a settlement in excess of 2.5 million dollars. Prior to hiring your firm, the insurance carrier had initially evaluated our loss at approximately $500,000. Our only regret is that we did not retain your firm at the beginning of the adjustment process...As a result of your efforts, we now have a restaurant that is even nicer than what existed prior to the fire…Through yours and Chris's ingenious efforts...we ultimately secured a Loss of Income proceeds substantially more than what we would have accepted.
Your Situation
How We Can Help
The More You Know, The Better The Results.
- Settlement We will negotiate the best possible settlement.
- Peace of Mind We can help you get back to your lives, family, and business sooner.
- Administration We cover every part in preparing and settling your claim.
- Team A team of experts on your side.
Factors To Consider
Frequently insurance companies use independent building and equipment consultants on large claims to prepare a bid.
- Who are these consultants?
- Who are they working for?
- Do they only work for insurance companies? Why this should be a red flag.
Replacing versus replacing equipment. Pros and cons.
How do the smoke and the water used to fight the fire affect your equipment? Your computers and other electronics?
Code Upgrade coverage is very important when rebuilding after a fire.
- How does your coverage address codes?
- If your coverage is limited, is there anything you can do about it?
What happens when the insurance company engages a forensic accountant?
- What is his/her role?
- Why can't you just have your accountant prepare your claim?
- What is the harm in sharing your financial statements?
- Are you required to produce your tax returns?
- Can you recast your financial statements? If so, why?
What are the extra expenses? What can be included?
How are tips treated? Are they considered continuing payroll?
Title 24 and handicap bathrooms, bars, seating and dance floors. What does it mean to you? Your claim?
What is your broker or agent's role?
- Will he/she be adjusting the claim?
- How many claims has he/she handled?
- Will his/her role be active or passive?
- When faced with supporting your position or the insurance company's, where will he/she stand?
Is there coinsurance in your policy?
- If there is, what does it mean?
- If there is, did your insurance adjuster tell you? If not, why not?
- How is coinsurance calculated on replacement cost? On actual cash value?
- Properly managing coinsurance can prevent disaster. Not properly managing coinsurance can put you out of business!
Temporary locations? What happens at the end of your claim?
Hazardous materials such as asbestos and lead can be expensive to address. Make sure your insurance carrier does not cut corners when addressing this issue.
Warranties and Protective Safeguard Requirements.
- What do they mean?
- What if you are not in full compliance?
- Can you still collect?
What are expediting expenses? How do they differ from extra expenses?
How do you project lost sales? Sales declines?
You own multiple restaurants in a geographic area and sales go up at other locations as a result of the fire. Does the insurance company get credit?
Can you continue to pay your employees?
- "Ordinary" employees versus "key" employees. How do they get identified? What is covered?

Policy for Pupil Premium
The Pupil Premium for 2018-19 is allocated to Local Authorities and schools with pupils on roll in January 2018 that are known to have been eligible:
|Disadvantaged pupils
|Pupil premium per pupil
|Pupils in year groups reception to year 6 recorded as Ever 6 FSM
|Pupils in years 7 to 11 recorded as Ever 6 FSM
|Looked-after children (LAC) defined in the Children Act 1989 as one who is in the care of, or provided with accommodation by, an English local authority
|Children who have ceased to be looked after by a local authority in England and Wales because of adoption, a special guardianship order, a child arrangements order or a residence order
|Service children
|Pupils in year groups reception to year 11 recorded as Ever 5 Service Child or in receipt of a child pension from the Ministry of Defence
Schools have the freedom to spend the Premium, which is additional to the underlying schools budget, in a way they think will best support the raising of attainment for the most vulnerable pupils.
The targeted and strategic use of pupil premium will support us in achieving our vision.
- We ensure that teaching and learning opportunities meet the needs of all of the pupils.
- We ensure that appropriate provision is made for pupils who belong to vulnerable groups, this includes ensuring that the needs of socially disadvantaged pupils are adequately assessed and addressed.
- In making provision for socially disadvantaged pupils, we recognise that not all pupils who receive free school meals will be socially disadvantaged.
- We also recognise that not all pupils who are socially disadvantaged are registered or qualify for free school meals. We reserve the right to allocate the Pupil Premium funding to support any pupil or groups of pupils the school has legitimately identified as being socially disadvantaged. At least 70% of any group will be made up of FSM children.
- Pupil premium funding will be allocated following a needs analysis which will identify priority classes, groups or individuals. Limited funding and resources may mean that not all children receiving free school meals will be in receipt of pupil premium interventions at one time.The range of provision the Governors consider making for this group could include:
- Provision
- Providing small group work with an experienced staff member focussed on overcoming gaps in learning.
- 1-1 support and additional resources.
- Additional teaching and learning opportunities provided through learning mentors, trained TA's or external agencies.
- All our work through the pupil premium will be aimed at accelerating progress and improving social opportunities. Initially this will be in: Communication, English, Maths and Life skills/ independence.
- Providing 1:1 tuition for pupils in key areas of Literacy/Numeracy and in wider curriculum.
- Support sessions to improve pupil's well-being, self-image and self-esteem.
- Providing additional support for pupils who fall into the ethnic minority achievement band.
- Pupil premium resources may also be used to target able children on Free School Meals.
- Reporting
- It will be the responsibility of the Headteacher, or a delegated member of staff, to produce regular reports for the Governing Body.
- The reports will cover progress made towards narrowing the gap for socially disadvantaged pupils.
- An outline of the provision that was made since the last meeting.
- An evaluation of the cost effectiveness, in terms of the progress made by the pupils receiving a particular provision, when compared with other forms of support.
- The Governors of the school will ensure that there is an annual statement to parents on how the Pupil Premium funding has been used to address the issue of 'narrowing the gap', for socially disadvantaged pupils. This task will be carried out within the requirements published by the Department for Education and will appear on our school websiteAny appeals against this policy will be through the governor's complaints procedureOur allocation for Pupil Premium 2017-2018 was £72,540.
- This expenditure focused upon:
- Pupil Premium Report for 2017-18
- Appeal
- The implementation of 1:1 support in reading, writing and maths led by qualified teachers for disadvantaged pupils.
- A speech and language therapist to work on the communication needs of disadvantaged pupils (raising their self-confidence and self-esteem).
- A teaching assistant to provide additional support for our EMA disadvantaged pupils.
- Disadvantaged pupils also received additional support from learning mentors.
- Increasing the range of clubs and curricular visits to boost opportunities for communication and personal interaction skills (supported through curriculum interest areas).
- Purchase of reading resources for pupils to use at home and school.
- Funding has been used to target individuals for short periods of time to provide additional support enabling them to fully engage with their learning.
Over the period of 2017-18:
- Our 1:1 pupils made accelerated progress.
- Our communication pupils have improved their ability and confidence when communicating.
- Our Speech and Language therapist worked with 100% of our disadvantaged pupils.
- Our ethnic minority pupils made at least as much progress as their peers.
- EMA pupils were more successful in accessing learning opportunities presented.
- The additional learning mentor support ensured that behaviours and issues were dealt with quickly and pupils were able to return to learning as soon as possible. Our Learning Mentors were able to provide support for 56.1% of our disadvantaged pupils.
- Our pupil's confidence and readiness for learning was significantly improved.
- Mental health and well-being was a focus for this academic year. Pupils received special input in this area.
Pupil Premium Report for 2018-19
Our predicted allocation for Pupil Premium 2018-2019 is £76,730.

In line with the ASEAN-India project "Extent of Transfer of Alien Invasive Organisms in South/Southeast Asia via Shipping", phytoplankton and bacterial communities in the waters off South Harbour, Manila Bay were investigated. Sampling was done in July and August 2012 and in April and May 2013. A total of 67 phytoplankton species including 29 diatoms and 38 dinoflagellates were identified. Potentially toxic Pseudo-nitzschia spp. were among the diatoms found as well as dinoflagellates Alexandrium spp., and Gymnodinium spp. The diatom Skeletonema costatum appeared to be the dominant species in July and August 2012, whereas Chaetoceros spp. constituted over 85% of the total phytoplankton assemblage in April and May 2013. Mean bacterial
abundance ranged from 9.53 x 102–3.18 x 105 cells/mL in July 2012. In addition, 93 bacterial isolates were identified using 16S rDNA, several of which belonged to the following phyla: Actinobacteria, Bacteriodetes, Firmicutes, and Proteobacteria; whereas, others were determined as uncultured bacterial clones. These results will serve as a valuable baseline for future studies on phytoplankton and bacterial community structure in Manila Bay.

Here is a prayer for Places of Worship by Brenda Kobrin
Infinite, divine, holy presence is everywhere, as the one and only reality in the universe. It includes and encompasses all that is in Its perfection and It guides and directs all of creation toward expression of that divine perfection that exists within all.
This divine presence exists not only in all people, but in all places. Its holy presence and perfection is absent nowhere. It is the organizing principle behind all human expression and all human organizations.
I affirm this perfection in all places of worship all over the globe, knowing that divine intelligence and divine order is present and available in every place where people gather to worship. It is that which lifts up and inspires those who gather in these places and it is doing its perfect work in and through each of them. The variety of forms of worship and places of worship in this world are a reflection of the infinite, unlimited nature of Spirit, each expressing and honoring truth in its own way, each one part of the perfection of the Whole, each one serving the Infinite in its own perfect way.
I celebrate this knowing of the truth and acknowledgement of divine perfection everywhere, particularly in places of worship all over the world, not only in me, but in hearts and minds of humans everywhere.
I release this prayer to Infinite Intelligence, with full confidence that this truth is being expressed and is blessing all of the world.
And so it is.

Acts 8
8.1 scattered What man meant for evil, God...
8.9-24 This whole story about Simon is a facinating thing to contemplate. One of the interesting things is the tension between ...Simon himself believed and after being baptized he continued with Philip... in verse 13 and the denunciation by Peter in verse 21 You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God. Part of what? salvation or the power of the Spirit?
8.22 ...the intent of your heart... O, now, that is the trap and pit that Christians must watch for.
8.30 Do you understand what you are reading? I am afraid that I would be in unfamilar territory with much of the OT prophetic writings.
8.35 Then beginning with this Scripture... infers that his comments were based on the Scriptures.

Recruiting new staff can be a challenge, especially when your company is competing against bigger, better funded competitors. With numerous companies searching for employees with a similar skillset, how can your business stand out?
While many employers make the mistake of thinking that it's all about visibility and compensation, the reality is that staff – even people that are highly in demand – are drawn to jobs for a wide range of reasons.
By differentiating your company, offering a position that better matches your target hire's needs and offer a competitive salary, you can stand out from the competition and attract highly capable, professional staff.
These five recruiting tips are designed for fast-growing companies in need of highly skilled staff in a hurry. If you need to hire to keep your startup growing, give them a try and see how your hiring process benefits.
1. Find out what your competitors are doing.
Success in business is all about understanding your competitors. The most effective marketers know exactly which advertisements their competitors are running, while the most effective salespeople closely study their competitors' sales pitches.
Recruiting is no different. By studying the hiring practices used by your competitors, you can learn about what they're doing to stand out and attract capable and talented staff to their businesses.
Try following your company's competitors on social media to learn more about their hiring process. You can also follow your industry's publications and job websites to look for competitors' listings and learn about the processes they use to find staff.
2. Offer perks that are desirable but hard to find.
Many employers make the mistake of assuming that highly skilled professionals are primarily interested in a job's salary. While money is obviously important, it's rarely the most important factor of a job for most people.
From crushingly long hours to a nasty work environment, many well-paid jobs come hand in hand with unwanted side effects. As such, many people are more interested in the perks your company can offer than the amount of money each job pays.
Whether it's the ability to work remotely or a unique work environment that your company's competitors can't match, stress the unique perks your company has to offer and you'll attract interest from a wider range of skilled candidates.
3. Don't wait for people to come to you – be proactive.
Listing a job advertisement or posting a hiring notice to your company's Facebook page isn't enough. To attract a high volume of applications from skilled, in demand people, your company needs to take a proactive approach to hiring.
Whether this means working with a third-party recruiter or managing the hiring process internally, the key to finding and attracting high quality staff is to get out there and make hiring a dedicated process.
Although there are costs associated with hiring a recruiting firm to find staff, the shorter hiring period and greater level of access to skilled people often makes it a very cost-effective option.
4. Stay on top of the current hiring environment.
Do you know the market rate for every important position in your industry? Have you kept up to date with the latest major hires in your marketplace? Stay on top of your industry's hiring environment and you'll find it easier to attract staff.
This technique is often easily achieved by following your competitors using social media and hiring websites. As well as monitoring their strategies, look at salaries and other important information that helps companies in your industry hire.
By monitoring your industry's hiring environment, you can also stay aware of the perks and benefits that are offered by most employers. This makes it even easier to differentiate your company by offering better benefits and work arrangements.
5. Clearly define the position's needs and skills.
No amount of hiring techniques will produce good results if the role you're hiring for isn't clearly defined. Offer too vague a job description and you'll often end up with hundreds of applicants, none of whom are truly suitable.
Before you implement any of the techniques listed above, make sure the role you're hiring for is clearly defined. The skills your company is searching for should also be clearly defined and listed, resulting in no ambiguity for potential staff members.
The clearer you are in your company's needs, the clearer your applicants can be in defining and explaining how they can help you. This makes the process of recruiting new staff easier for your company and much more straightforward for applicants.
