Facilities management solutions should accommodate everyone
If you're thinking of implementing new facilities management solutions, your first order of business is probably to find a software package that meets your needs. You want it to be affordable, easy to implement and relatively simple to use. If you can find all that, you'll likely be happy.
But it's not quite that simple. Facilities management isn't just about using solutions that benefit the user. As an FM, you have to think about much more than satisfying your own needs - you should also use resources that cater to others. You'll be the one accessing the software and carrying out its basic functions on a daily basis, but you'll be collaborating with others as well, so you want your tools to be adaptable for co-workers and visitors to your offices.
According to Managing the Built Environment, you should have policies and procedures in place for all office functions, not just the ones that you yourself attend to daily. Michel Theriault, a respected facilities management expert in Canada, explained that facilities management solutions must cater to the entire companies they serve, not just their primary users.
"Managing facilities is a process- and services-based profession," Theriault wrote. "A leading organization does what they do consistently in a way that is both efficient and effective. The only way to achieve that is to have procedures that guide staff, suppliers and even occupants through the steps and requirements of each step during service delivery and other activities. This also enables you to manage activities better, implement quality assurance, audit processes, have training tools for staff, both new and existing, and review performance with employees."
As a facilities manager, you're in charge of serving a lot of different people within your buildings. It's up to you to meet all their needs.
As a facilities manager, you probably have a lot of co-workers looking to you for guidance about the best way to take advantage of your offices. Hopefully, you're using facilities management solutions that help you communicate with them clearly and effectively - by sending out emails, publishing newsletters and scheduling meetings to talk about how your facilities run. It's also good to be able to conduct regular reviews to help train your staff and examine their progress.
Whenever someone visits your office building for the first time, it's beneficial to consider their input on the experience. If you have customer service solutions in place for collecting feedback, you'll be able to improve your facilities and make them more welcome to visitors. This can help your company attract more customers and build stronger partnerships with other local businesses.
One aspect of proper facilities management is lease management. You need to have formal processes in place for assessing your lease charges (not to mention property tax bills), and a good facilities management solution can help with this. The financial side of facilities management can be stressful, but that burden is significantly eased if you have reliable software for ensuring that the billing process goes smoothly each month.
As a facilities manager, you likely have supervisors breathing down your neck for a variety of reasons. One is keeping costs down, so you'll need to have a software solution in place that makes sure your budgeting practices are responsible. In addition, you'll need solid occupancy management resources in order to keep your facilities use efficient yet also safe.
When managing an office building, you're juggling a lot of different responsibilities and reporting to a lot of people. Make sure you implement software solutions that work well for yourself, but benefit others as well. Your entire company will thank you later.

30-year-old Edmond Lua had a peculiar way of coping with stress – striking women in the chest.
He had done so 7 times in the past, until the most recent incident which got him arrested.
Lua pushed a woman in her chest outside her workplace, Yishun Community Hospital.
As they were walking past each other, he stuck out his arm and struck her breasts.
In the hospital, Lua again stuck his arm out and struck her breasts as she was about to enter a lift.
This time, according to the victim, he hit her even harder.
The victim reported the matter to hospital security and Lua was later arrested by police.
The incident happened in December last year.
In his defence, Lua's lawyer said that he was "socially awkward" and was bullied at school while growing up.
She said that Lua was unable to cope with stress and had a bad habit of taking out his frustration by nudging women on the chest area.
But, his actions were not to derive sexual pleasure.
Lua's lawyer added that he had relied on his mother for emotional support, but his life hit rock bottom when she died of breast cancer in 2012.
In sentencing, the Community Court judge said that almost everyone had gone through, at one point or another, some events in life, and Lua was no different.
The judge added that Lua had sought to cope with things in a "very destructive and harmful way".
Lua was jailed today for 9 months after he admitted to 2 charges of molest involving the hospital worker.

Summer used to be a rather dead time for news media, the long Parliamentary break giving way to a plethora of "Silly Season" stories. It's still partially true, but less so in the era of Trump, Brexit, and the incessant need to throw as much mud as possible at the opposition leader, in the hope that something sticks.
In terms of media itself, above the typical noise and games, perhaps the most significant development came when Corbyn announced proposals for re-organising the BBC and the establishment of a Public Digital Corporation to run alongside it.
As usual, the devil will be in the detail, but at least this is an effort to practically address the domination of the digital marketplace by tax-dodging multinational behemoths. The responses from UK media were unsurprising: the right and establishment summoned varying shades of horror, liberals were at least interested, progressive independents offered constructive criticism while welcoming the start of a conversation.
The danger is that the proposals will now be all but forgotten. The noise quickly died down after a few days of coverage and reaction. This may be down to the attention-deficit nature of modern media, but it's also the Labour Party's responsibility to keep these proposals in the public consciousness. They have form for not trumpeting big ideas at the right time: who remembered Ed Miliband's promise for a sweeping Constitutional Convention when the 2015 election came around?
Many will opine that such issues are not the concern of "everyday voters", but not only is it the function of politicians and activists to highlight their relevance of bigger ideas, it can also be very patronising to assume that voters can't see beyond the end of their nose just because they have concerns around employment, housing, family etc.
If Labour does allow these plans to gather dust, it will fall to others, such as the independent media, to keep them in the public eye and continue the discourse.

Is there a keyboard shortcut in Windows Explorer (Windows 7), to put the cursor into the address bar (where the current path is shown)?
Found it, it's possible with the following two shortcuts:
- Alt+D selects the current path in English versions (see comments for other languages)
- on Windows 8, Ctrl+L can also be used to select the current path (all languages)
- F4 will put the cursor at the end of the current path and expand the dropdown list of the address bar (all languages)
BTW: here's a complete list of keyboard shortcuts in windows 7: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Keyboard-shortcuts
Those shortcuts also work on IE, and ALT+D works on all browsers. – paradroid Sep 8 '10 at 7:00
6Alt+D doesn't work on non-English versions of Windows 7 (tried on Brazilian Portuguese and German, probably affects others). – muriloq Oct 25 '11 at 18:48
3Alt+D doesn't work in Ukrainian and Russian versions as well. – kolobok Jul 14 '13 at 20:14
6Alt+E works in the German Windows 7 – handle Jun 24 '15 at 6:22
1The link for the shortcuts is broken. This one works – Chrᴉz Jul 25 '18 at 8:55
If you're using non-English version, you can use AutoHotkey with this script:
#IfWinActive ahk_class CabinetWClass
1I went with
^l::for Control+L. – Marc.2377 Dec 20 '18 at 12:55
Another AutoHotKey solution based on the one from @epifun
@epifun 's solution does not work if the address in the addressbar is very long.
#IfWinActive ahk_class CabinetWClass
ControlFocus, ToolbarWindow322
send {space}
I can't verify this myself at the moment since I'm using Mac OS X, but this webpage suggests that
Alt-D is what you're looking for (see section "Windows Explorer keyboard shortcuts").
Ctrl+L seems now to be working in many browsers to do that, in File Explorer too. Now - I mean Windows 8 (7 does not work).
1Ctrl+L doesn't work in Windows 7 to focus the Windows Explorer address bar. – David Murdoch Dec 19 '14 at 16:34
You're right. I've made edit. – pbies Dec 26 '14 at 17:40
F6 does the trick for me.
(PC, successive versions of Windows including 8.1, as I write.)
1<kbd>F6</kbd> changes focus to the column header for me in Windows 7. – Jason Aller May 19 '15 at 16:57
2Windows 8.1 here and F6 doesn't work for me. It seems to select the next Windows pane, similar to pressing Tab. I believe your solution is for Internet Explorer (not Windows Explorer) and other browsers, where F6 does change focus to the Address Bar. – Josh May 19 '15 at 17:59

Salary and conditions
- Starting salaries vary considerably, depending on the location and size of the firm and the sector. Salaries for trainees range from £12,000 to £18,000 for school leavers and £18,000 to £28,000 for university graduates, although they could be higher in London or lower in small regional firms.
- The typical salary for a newly qualified accountant is £26,000 to £50,000+ while the average for a chartered accountant in a senior role is up to £100,000.
- Salaries tend to be higher in London and the South East.
- Salary packages may also include benefits such as bonuses, profit-sharing schemes, medical insurance, pensions and car allowances.
- Chartered accountants have to undertake a training contract (usually three to five years) in order to qualify so it is important to consider the package of training, leave and pay offered by employers, as studying whilst working can be demanding. One of the main challenges for trainees is managing professional study commitments with the day-to-day job.
- Working hours vary depending on the role and the organisation, but are not typically 9am to 5pm. Working extra hours in the evening and at weekends is not uncommon in order to meet deadlines, particularly in larger firms. Trainees can usually have time off in lieu of any overtime worked.
- Flexible working arrangements are possible (usually after qualification). There is also the opportunity to work independently by setting up as a sole practitioner.
- Due to the high profile, accurate and responsible nature of the work, the dress code is usually formal.
- Travel within a working day is frequent in audit, which is carried out mainly at client premises. Absence from home overnight and occasional overseas travel are possible.
- Working in other areas, such as tax, or in small firms, tends to be more office-based with less travel.
Job description
Chartered accountants provide trustworthy information about financial records. This might involve them in financial reporting, taxation, auditing, forensic accounting, corporate finance, business recovery and insolvency, or accounting systems and processes. Generally, they play a strategic role by providing professional advice, aiming to maximise profitability on behalf of their client or employer. They work in many different settings including public practice firms, industry and commerce, as well as in the not-for-profit and public sectors.
In public practice firms, chartered accountants provide professional services to fee-paying clients who might be private individuals or large commercial or public sector organisations. In commerce, industry and the not-for-profit and public sectors, they may work in treasury management, procurement, financial management or in reporting roles.
Typical work activities
The role of a chartered accountant can cover many aspects of finance work, including:
- continuous management of financial systems and budgets;
- undertaking financial audits (an independent check of an organisation's financial position);
- providing financial advice.
In public practice, typical work activities include:
- liaising with clients (individuals or businesses) and providing financial information and advice;
- reviewing the company's systems and analysing risk;
- performing tests to check financial information and systems;
- advising clients on tax planning (within current legislation to enable them to minimise their tax liability) and tax issues associated with activities such as business acquisitions and mergers;
- maintaining accounting records and preparing accounts and management information for small businesses (accountancy);
- advising clients on business transactions, such as mergers and acquisitions (corporate finance);
- advising clients on areas of business improvement, or dealing with insolvency;
- detecting and preventing fraud (forensic accounting);
- managing junior colleagues.
In commerce and industry, and the public and not-for-profit sectors, typical work activities involve:
- liaising with internal and external auditors and dealing with any financial irregularities as they arise;
- producing reports and recommendations following internal audits or public-sector audits;
- preparing financial statements, including monthly and annual accounts;
- preparing financial management reports, including financial planning and forecasting;
- advising on tax and treasury issues;
- negotiating terms with suppliers.
Entry requirements
Entry is open to graduates of all disciplines and, while a large number have business-related degrees, other subjects are strongly represented, including science, maths, languages, arts and social sciences. A Certificate in Finance, Accounting and Business (CFAB) may also be a useful step between a degree and a training contract.
Although entry to the profession without a degree or HND may be possible, accountancy is a highly competitive industry and graduates/diplomates have greater opportunity to enter. Graduates are generally preferred to diplomates by the large employers. However, some employers do train students to do the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) Accounting Qualification as an entry requirement for ICAS.
There are three separate professional institutes of chartered accountants in the UK (as well as a number of other bodies awarding other accountancy qualifications). The three are:
- Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW)
- Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS)
- Chartered Accountants Ireland (oversees both Ireland and Northern Ireland).
Entry regulations vary slightly between institutes. ICAS requires only a degree or the AAT Accounting Qualification while the ICAEW will accept three GCSEs and two A-levels or a 2:1 or first class honours degree (some employers will accept a 2:2). However, one of the most difficult parts of becoming a chartered accountant is securing a training contract with an employer approved by one of the institutes. Many firms will ask for a minimum of 260 UCAS points, although 300+ are frequently required, as well as a good degree and evidence of mathematical knowledge and ability. Numeracy skills are often tested as part of the selection process.
It is very helpful to have relevant pre-entry work experience, e.g. through vacation work, work placements or shadowing.
In addition to academic requirements, candidates will need to show evidence of the following:
- general business interest and awareness;
- self-motivation and commitment, in order to combine working with studying;
- communication and interpersonal skills;
- organisational and time management skills;
- a methodical approach;
- IT proficiency;
- strong analytical and problem-solving skills;
- numeracy;
- leadership qualities and effective teamworking skills;
- motivation and initiative;
- integrity and trustworthiness.
Competition to enter the profession is tough and the selection process rigorous. It is best to start applying in the autumn term of your final year to ensure access to the widest range of opportunities as some employers have application deadlines at the end of October (although there will be vacancies available later in the year). Many firms attend recruitment fairs and hold presentations on campus. Take the opportunity to find out as much as possible about the job and training before applying, e.g. attend firms' short courses or open days.

This year, "Le Chant des Dauphins" association will carry out an awareness raising initiative for the crews and will offer children a chance to see dolphins in the wild.
For over 10 years now, Spi Dauphine has engaged in a sustainable and environmentally responsible approach that aims to limit the regatta's environmental footprint.

42 confirmed volcanic eruptions were registered in 2015 which is just one more than the 2014 total of 41.
Only five eruptions in 2015 were strong enough to register on the Max VEI Index with the biggest being the Raung Java volcano in Indonesia which registered a 3.
In contrast 2014 registered 30 confirmed eruptions on the Max VEI Index with the strongest being a category 4, coincidentally at the Kelut volcano, Java, Indonesia also on Feb 13th!
Well not in the last 15 years as the graph clearly shows.
The largest eruption of the on the Volcanic Explosivity Index, ( VEI) in the last 15 years was a 5 on June the 4th 2011 at the Puyehue-Cordon Caulle in Chile and Argentina.
All data from The Smithsonian Institution
The Mount Tambora (1815 eruption) was a 7 on the Volcanic Explosivity Index, ( VEI), responsible for 92,000 deaths, is the largest and deadliest volcanic eruption in recorded history.
It was so large it caused the "Year Without a Summer" in 1816, see here and here.
In 1833 the Krakatoa eruption killed 36,417, and scored a 6 on the Volcanic Explosivity Index, ( VEI) and was heard 3,000 miles (4,800 km) away.
It caused a 5 year volcanic winter.
The island had three volcanoes.
Perboewatan (410 ft) and Danan (1,480 ft) was destroyed during the eruption while Rakata (2,667 ft) was only half destroyed but it still remains above sea level.
In 1928, a new volcano called Anak Krakatoa (1,063 ft) grew above sea level, forming a new island by Rakata's island.
The largest eruption in the 20th century was the Novarupta volcano in 1912
The largest eruption of the year was the Kelut Volcano in Java, Indonesia measuring 4 on the Volcanic Explosivity Index, ( VEI).

County Plans Mental Health Services Expansion
Orange County will receive $25 million on Wednesday in Proposition 63 funds for mental health programs, the Orange County Register reports. Proposition 63, which voters approved in 2004, increased the state income tax by 1% on residents whose annual incomes exceed $1 million to fund mental health care.
The funding increases the county's mental health budget by 15% to about $175 million. The money will be used for the county's three-year mental health care plan, which includes:
- Providing more age-targeted services for children, teenagers, adults and senior citizens;
- Expanding care efforts to the Latino and Vietnamese communities; and
- Hiring an unspecified number of mental health experts to assist police officers responding to calls involving people with mental health problems.
The county periodically will issue reports to the state on the effects of the increased funding.
According to Mark Refowitz, the county deputy agency director for mental health services, the expansion is the first of a four-part plan that includes mental illness prevention and early detection, financial improvements at the mental health department, education, and technology (Liddane, Orange County Register, 6/7). This is part of the California Healthline Daily Edition, a summary of health policy coverage from major news organizations. Sign up for an email subscription.

Short selling can be a risky endeavor, but the inherent risk of a short position can be mitigated significantly through the use of options.
The biggest risk of a short position is that of a price surge in the shorted stock. Such a surge could occur for any number of reasons, including an unexpected positive development for the stock, a short squeeze, or an advance in the broader market or sector. This risk can be mitigated by using call options to hedge the risk of a runaway advance in the shorted stock.
For example, assume you short 100 shares of Facebook, Inc. (FB) when the stock is trading at $76.24. If the stock rises to $85 or beyond, you would be looking at a substantial loss on your short position. Therefore, you buy one call option contract on Facebook with a strike price of $75 expiring a month from now. This $75 call is trading at $4, so it will cost you $400.
If Facebook declines to $70 over the month, your gain of $624 on the short position ([$76.24 - $70) x 100) is reduced by the $400 cost of the call option, for a net gain of $224. We are assuming here that the $75 calls are trading at close to zero, but in reality, you may be able to salvage some value from the calls if there are a considerable number of days left to expiry.
How To Protect A Short Position With Options
The real benefit of using a call to hedge your short Facebook position, however, would be evident if the stock rises appreciably, rather than declines. If Facebook advances to $85, your $75 calls would trade at a minimum of $10. Thus, the loss of $876 on your short position would be offset by the gain of $600 ([$10 - $4] x 100) on your long call position, for a net loss of $276. Even if Facebook soars to $100, the net loss will stay relatively unchanged at $276, as the loss of $2,376 on the short position would be offset by a gain of $2,100 ([$25 - $4] x 100) on the long call position. (Note that the $75 calls would trade at a price of at least $25 if Facebook was trading at $100.)
There are a few drawbacks of using calls to hedge short stock positions. Firstly, this strategy can only be employed for stocks on which options are available, so it cannot be used when shorting small-cap stocks on which there are no options. Secondly, there is a significant cost involved in buying the calls. Thirdly, the protection offered by the calls is only available for a limited time, i.e., until their expiration. Finally, since options are only offered at certain strike prices, an imperfect hedge may result if there is a large difference between the call strike price and the price at which the short sale was effected.
The Bottom Line
Despite its drawbacks, the strategy of using calls to hedge a short position can be an effective one. In the best-case scenario, a trader can increase profits if the shorted stock drops suddenly and then rebounds, by closing out the short position when the stock declines and then selling the calls when they increase in price.

The stress tests on the 19 biggest US banks pave the way for an ongoing interventionist approach to regulation, Ben Bernanke, chairman of the Federal Reserve, signalled on Thursday.
Hours before the publication of the results of the tests, which are expected to show that banks including Citigroup and Bank of America will need to raise equity, Mr Bernanke told the Chicago Fed that the "exercise has been comprehensive, rigorous, forward-looking, and highly collaborative… Undoubtedly, we can use many aspects of the exercise to improve our supervisory processes in the future."
With the US government in the throes of a broad regulatory overhaul, Mr Bernanke said that liquidity and risk management would be subject to "equal emphasis" with capital standards, which fell short in measuring the health of the sector.
"Although capital remains a critical bulwark of a strong banking system, the crisis has also demonstrated the importance of effective liquidity management," he said.
"Along with our colleagues at the other US banking agencies, we are monitoring the major firms' liquidity positions on a daily basis and are discussing liquidity strategies, key market developments and liquidity risks with the firms' senior managements."
The stress tests are expected to show all the banks passing a benchmark Tier 1 capital ratio, but regulators believe that is no longer an appropriate measure of strength. Both the Treasury and the Fed are focusing more on tangible common equity.
Leaked information from the tests has buoyed the stock market in recent days as investors have grown increasingly confident that any capital shortfall at the most troubled institutions was not as big as feared. Shares on Thursday fell however as the results of the tests got closer.
Tim Geithner, Treasury secretary, said on Wednesday in an interview with PBS television's Charlie Rose programme that there were "very significant cushions in these institutions today, and all Americans should be confident that these institutions are going to be viable institutions going forward".
Mr Bernanke also signalled that pay should be reformed at banks, with bonuses set up to focus on long-term success rather than short-term profits. "Bonuses and other compensation should provide incentives for employees at all levels to behave in ways that promote the long-run health of the institution," he said.

Parents have been given a gift from God. Parents should love, train, teach and discipline their children. These verses are a selection of what the Bible says about parenting.
but Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the children come to me and do not stop them, because the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Remember this! Whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it. (Luke 18:16-17)
Children are a gift from the Lord;
they are a real blessing.
(Psalm 127:3)
Teach children how they should live, and they will remember it all their life. (Proverbs 22:6)
Never forget these commands that I am giving you today. Teach them to your children. Repeat them when you are at home and when you are away, when you are resting and when you are working. (Deuteronomy 6:6-7)
and you remember that ever since you were a child, you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. (2 Timothy 3:15)
Discipline your children while they are young enough to learn. If you don't, you are helping them destroy themselves. (Proverbs 19:18)
Do we dare say to our parents,
"Why did you make me like this?"
(Isaiah 45:10)
Parents, do not treat your children in such a way as to make them angry. Instead, raise them with Christian discipline and instruction. (Ephesians 6:4)
The Lord corrects those he loves, as parents correct a child of whom they are proud. (Proverbs 3:12)
Parents, don't be hard on your children. If you are, they might give up. (Colossians 3:21)

Try them and see what fits "your" needs better.
I use Homeseer and CharmedQuark
Never mind on the above this are windows programs. Not sure on Linux
I'm sure others will chime in.
A good forum that is laid out to explain is http://cocoontech.com
Visit and read lots of articles and explainations.
What to buy?
Depends on many things.
What do you want to do?
Hard to setup?
Pretty easy if you don't mind wiring a light switch.
Good Books?

Re: Need an opinion on home automation and speech recognition
I've had HAL for several years. The voice command/recognition is
certainly a selling point, but for me once the newness wore off, I'd
rather just have a robust, non-PC based automation system. See the
other thread I started here:
Keep in mind that once you buy the software, you still have to consider
the interface/hardware requirements. You can go one of three ways:
1. Computer mic and speakers only (cheap, and very inconvenient)
2. Add telephone interface (like HAL). Again, pretty cheap and it
adds some functionality, but just try to dial in from work and give
commands via speakerphone or noisy cell...software can't filter
background noise very well.
3. Wire your entire house with an intercom-type system and high-end
microphones (again needed due to lack of background noise filtering).
You will also need a mixer at the center of the system, or you will
have to do a push-to-talk setup (not really convenient).
When you think about it, once programmed, about 90% of the functions on
your automation setup will run on timers or sensors (that's why you got
an automation system, remember?). You won't be doing much
direct-command stuff except for when you want to run macros and such.
For this, I have an IR interface box
(http://www.smarthome.com/4040.html) which reads IR codes from my
Pronto remote and sends them to HAL - I can run all of the macros I
need either via the remote, cordless phone, or tabletop module by the
I'd like to hear other thoughts as well - especially those which
involve hacking devices like routers, network audio devices
(Audiotron), and wireless access points which already have web/SNMP
interfaces and adding functionality. This is where I think the gap
will be bridged and we will have a nice, clean black box in the
basement which doesn't drain power and computer resources like a
PC-based software.

1-3) Hana to Usagi
Our delivery service's regular customer, Aizawa-san in room 411, is always wearing a rabbit head… Why is he wearing something like that in the first place? Pervert? Every day he sends or receives delivery but you can't see his face, and he's almost mute, there's nothing scarier than this. But one day, still wearing the rabbit head, he grabbed tightly onto my arm, "T-thank you, I'll see you again tomorrow…" Saying it in such an embarrassed way- My heart beats so fast.
Extra - Actually I thought of a good way.

text: blanchae 2 Report post Posted November 29, 2015 I have a 1999 Cougar with the 2.5l and 5 speed (I believe it's the MTX) transmission same as the Contour. I had a problem shifting into 1st gear and then into 2nd. Also down shifting into either 1st or 2nd. You would describe it as a knotchy shifter. Eventually, you would have to pop the shifter sideways into neutral then back into 1st or 2nd. The solution is to adjust the tranny linkage which is actually very easy if you know what to do. Unfortunately, there is little specific info on the Internet that describes clearly what to do. You need two people to do this: one to adjust the linkage and the other to hold the shifter in position. Jack the car high enough to crawl under the drivers side. Remove the drivers front wheel. The transmission side linkage is accessible through the wheel well (no panels to remove). I've linked to a picture that shows the linkage as I forgot to take pictures. It shows the lower white linkage removed because the bushing tends to wear out and they were replacing the bushing. Symptoms are sloppy shifter with lots of play. You do not have to remove or unclip the linkage to adjust it. The lower white linkage is used to shift between 1-N-2, 3-N-4, 5-N-R (often called the vertical positioning) The upper black linkage is used to align the Neutral positions (often called the horizontal positioning) To adjust Have your helper sit in the car and hold the shifter in the Neutral position of 5-N-R. Do NOT move the shifter. You press the orange button in on the white linkage and wiggle the transmission lever a little to make sure that it is in neutral position then release the orange button. You can see in the picture the "locked" position of the orange button. You just have to push it in so that it is flush with the white part. You press the orange button in on the black linkage and wiggle the transmission lever just to seat everything. Done! Take it for a test drive. Note: Many places on the Internet had similar instructions but said vaguely to hold the shifter in Neutral (which one?) and Ford's instructions said to hold the shifter in the Neutral position of 3-N-4. Those did not work for the tough 1-2 shift. Holding it in the Neutral position of 5-N-R did the trick as you maximize the mechanical movement from 5-N-R to 1-N-2 In my case, the transmission now shifts beautifully. 1 MarcD reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This system is going to be a revolutionary one for anyone who wants to become an entrepreneur or wants to market their business (whether brick and mortar or online) in a whole new way.
The right path resonates within us, with our Best Friend, and we have the ability to take action to reach that goal within ourselves.

To the Editor:
Re "Warning Sign in Leaner Times: Hungry Children" ("Britain's Big Squeeze" series, front page, Sept. 27):
It's sad to read that one out of every three children going to Morecambe Bay Primary, a state-run elementary school in England, is hungry, and would not have breakfast unless the school provided it. The sad truth is that hunger, poverty and poor nutrition are a prevalent problem around the world.
Poor nutrition harms the health of more than half the people on the planet and is the underlying cause of 45 percent of children's deaths worldwide.
But I am sad because research studies have linked poor nutrition with a loss of brain power. These losses are incalculable, with a devastating impact on children's future potential.
At the school I founded in Kenya, many of our students come from poor homes, and just like in Morecambe, many would not have breakfast unless we provided it. I have also seen some of my peers not achieving their full potential because, most likely, their brain power was lost to poor nutrition.
Children are tomorrow's leaders. We must do everything to ensure that they are not hungry. We must ensure that children have access to the nutrition they need to grow and nourish both their bodies and brains!

By Javier ManjarresAn interesting observation was made last night on Fox News' 'The Five' when host Dan Perino noted that SOTU responses such as the one Senator Marco Rubio gave on Tuesday night are never really remembered unless something noteworthy occurs during the response- either a gaffe or in this instance a 'sip of water' would certainly qualify.
Trending: Matt Gaetz files ethics complaint against Rep. Schiff over impeachment
Perino's point leads to an interesting question- was Rubio's sip of water on camera planned in advance to draw as much attention away from the President's address as possible? Rubio is a very clever guy and no doubt knew the import of attempting such a maneuver on television in front of a national audience- if it was indeed a ploy, it could very well turn out to have been a brilliant one in retrospect.
If the only takeaway from Rubio's response is that he's the guy who sipped from a bottle of water on national television months and years from now, what casual observer out there wouldn't be able to relate to such an natural gesticulation–and also find it somewhat ridiculous that such a gesture was the source of so much foolish mockery? Wouldn't that maneuver be perceived as "refreshing"- both literally and figuratively- in the minds of average Americans?
Rubio has captured tremendous buzz as of late with his immigration reform ideas, his SOTU response, and he's now firming up his base of support with his co-sponsorship of the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act (CIANA) along with fellow Republican Senators Orrin Hatch, Mitch McConnell, Roy Blunt, Rand Paul and 13 others.
According to Rubio's office, Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen is spearheading a similar version of the bill on the House side.Rubio's office released the following statement about the bill-
If enacted, this legislation give states the authority they need to properly enforce laws requiring a parent to be notified before their minor daughter receives an abortion.
Many states have adopted parental notification laws to protect minors and the rights of parents. These laws, however, are easily and often circumvented due to differing abortion laws in neighboring states. There is currently no federal framework in place to prevent a minor from traveling across state lines to undergo an abortion without parental knowledge or consent. CIANA would prohibit the act of transporting a minor to obtaining an abortion if this action evades the parental involvement law in her home state. In addition, it would require abortion providers to notify a parent of an out-of-state minor before performing an abortion.
Rubio's pull quote accompanied the press release-
Rubio has always been a strong pro-life supporter- an issue that has always been close to Rubio's heart and has kept him grounded throughout his hectic public life. As the father of four children, the pro-life issue is the furthest thing removed from a "vanity issue" for Rubio.
"With the rights of parents and the safety of our nation's daughters at risk, Congress must take action to prevent underage abortions by giving states the federal backing necessary to enforce their parental involvement laws. These laws allow teenagers to receive the advice and guidance of a loved one before undergoing a procedure for which they may not be medically or emotionally prepared. Under current law, minors are subject to the exploitation and safety risks that often come from an overzealous interstate abortion industry."- Sen.Marco Rubio
As practically any parent will tell you, the moment you see your unborn child in a sonogram, your life changes when you see that little person with a heart beat and brain activity. As a father of four, Rubio knows this feeling very well.
While there will be naysayers who consider Rubio's latest move as a politically expedient one, the truth is that the pro-life issue is one that Rubio will never waver on regardless of whether or not it helps him moving forward towards 2016.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Washington Nationals front office is in the middle of an internal investigation into one of its assistant coaches following the filing of a lawsuit in California.
On Friday, the team suspended Jacque Jones with pay in response to the allegations in that lawsuit which accuses him of sharing private photos of the unidentified woman with mutual friends in an effort to humiliate her.
Some classify the act as revenge porn. Experts in victim advocacy say incidents like this are not always motivated by revenge instead referring to the issue as nonconsensual pornography.
The trend is enough of a problem that 38 states and the District of Columbia have laws specifically geared toward punishing these crimes but not every municipality agrees on the punishment.
In the District of Columbia, a 2014 considers the crime a felony which could lead to prison time for violators that are convicted. In states like Maryland and Virginia the crime is considered a misdemeanor which means a conviction could lead to a fine and/or jail time.
Jones was hired by the Nationals in 2016. The team has not linked Jones to the lawsuit only saying he was removed from his position for a legal matter that the team was looking into.

Independent clinical studies have found that adding sugar beet fiber to your diet can have a positive effect on cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar levels, as well as your gastrointestinal health. The following are summaries of the study findings. Please contact us if you would like to receive a full copy of any one of these studies.
Many of the articles you may request will be sent as Adobe PDF files.
Hagender, B., N-G.ASP, Ekman, R., Nilsson-Ehle, P. and Schersten, B., Dietary Fibre Enrichment, Blood Pressure, Lipoprotein and Gut Hormones in Niddm Patients. (1989) European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Sweden. 43, 35-44.
The influence of a beet-fibre enriched diet (mean 40g Fibrex, 27 g dietary fibre per day) on blood pressure, plasma lipoproteins and glycemic control wasstudied in 12 non-insulin diabetic (NIDD) patients. The effect on gastrointestinal hormones was also investigated. Beet-fibre and control diets were given in randomized order for 8 weeks.

The present study was conducted to test the efficacy of fibre supplementation for hypercholesterolarmia in subjects from the desert Nomads.

Dietary fibres used in this study impaired the absorption of wheat starch and thereby increased the amount of starch-derived carbohydrate available for colonic fermentations.

Suspension of beet fibre bread given to rats by oro-gastric intubation induced lower blood glucose response than a control bread at 15 and 30 min (P<0.001), respectively, but a similar insulin response. The results suggest as a lower insulin response in the healthy volunteers and a reduced glucose response in the rat.

Lund. 3Department of Endocrinology, Karolinska Hospital, Stockholm and the Departments of Clinical Chemistry and 5Pharmacology, University of Lund. Lund, Sweden.
The results suggest that the diminished glycemic response after the beet-fibre meal is associated with an increased response of somatostatin, giving a reduced glucose absorption and a delayed gastrointestinal transit time.

The serum lipoprotein-lowering potential of a sugar-beet fibre preparation (Fibrex®) was investigated in a placebo controlled, double blind cross-over study in 30 women 55-56 years old. As the very few side effects were mild, Fibrex should be a useful dietary supplement in cases of mild to moderate hypercholesterolaemia where drugs are not considered.

(1) McGill University, Macdonald College, School of Dietetics and Human Nutrition, Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec, Canada and (2) Ministry of Health, Public Health Directorate, Nutrition Unit, Bahrain.
Results showed that fibre supplementation for five weeks did not cause any significant change in the status of zinc (measured by concentration of zinc in plasma and urine and alkaline phosphatase activity), iron (measured by PCV%, Hg, transferring saturation % and ferritin), or copper (measured by plasm copper concentration and erythrocyte superoxide dismutase activity). We conclude that consumption of sugar-beet fibre added to the daily diet does not constitute any risk with respect to zinc, iron and copper nutriture.
