The Sri Lankan apparel sector finally appears to have started realizing the benefits of the recently reinstated Generalized System of Preferences Plus (GSP Plus) facility with the European Union (EU) with double digit growth in exports, while the exports to the US market too saw an uptick.
"Yes, this is the gain we were expecting from GSP Plus. We're expecting the trend to get even better by the end of the year. The order books are filling up," Sri Lanka Apparel Exporters Association President Felix Fernando told Mirror Business.
According to data published by the Joint Apparel Associations Forum (JAAF), apparel exports to the EU this August expanded 14.29 percent year-on-year (YoY) to reach US$ 192 million.
Fernando said that based on the positive outlook of manufacturers on future orders, the industry may have the potential to create growth in excess of 20 percent during the first 12 months of experiencing GSP benefits, ending June 2018.
During the same period last year, apparel receipts from the EU fell 2.91 percent to US$ 1.89 billion, due to Brexit and other political upheavals in the region, coupled with some major European department stores and retailers that sourced apparel from Sri Lanka downsizing their operations.
The EU market would indeed have to grow at over 20 percent to exceed the US$ 500 million target the industry has set for itself during the first year of GSP Plus.
"But even if growth remains at the current 15 percent or so, it's still good," Fernando said.
The EU market expansion began in earnest this July—one and a half months after officially receiving the GSP benefit, due to delays in receiving orders—when export growth reached 10.34 percent YoY.
Despite the strong July and August performances, the growth in the EU market for the first eight months of 2017 remained at a negative 1 percent YoY, registering US$ 1.34 billion in export earnings, which represented 42.58 percent of Sri Lanka's total apparel export earnings for the eight months.
Sri Lanka regained the duty-free GSP Plus facility after the government showed commitment to uphold human rights in the country. Sri Lanka lost the preferential trade benefits in 2010 due to accusation of violating of human rights during the final stages of the civil war.
GSP Plus came at a crucial time, since EU trade officials who visited Sri Lanka last year noted that while the EU importers had remained mostly loyal to Sri Lankan apparels, despite the higher prices, a significant change in sourcing apparel for the EU could take place if Sri Lanka failed to regain GSP Plus status.
Sri Lankan apparel exporters too had made significant investments in regional countries to produce apparel at a lower cost, due to rising Sri Lankan labour costs.
Fernando said that he is hoping for the EU market to keep growing even after the effect on the base numbers wear off in July 2018.
"It can do better, provided that we manage to utilize our full capacity by finding the required labour," he said, reminding of the continuous complaints the apparel sector has made to the government on the labour shortage issue, and the numerous pleas made to allow the importation of foreign labour.
The government appears to have received these requests in a positive light, with a minister last week saying that plans are afoot to streamline labour mobility.
Meanwhile, the US market too recorded gains in August with a 5.52 percent YoY growth, hauling in US$ 172 million in earnings, after posting a stronger performance of this July with an 8.11 percent YoY growth to US$ 200 million in receipts. Fernando noted that challenges in the US markets still remain, and that this boost could even be a temporary phenomenon.
"There's no particular reason for this as far as I know. We will get a better feel on whether it is a trend once we see the September figures," he said. For the first eight months of this year, apparel exports to the US fell 4.28 percent YoY bringing US$ 1.38 billion in revenue. Apparel exports to all markets increased 9 percent YoY this August, bringing in US$ 412 million in export earnings, while from January through August, the earnings fell 1.96 percent YoY to US$ 3.14 billion.

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
Dr. Pablo Rodriguez, a Rhode Island doctor and abortion provider, will later discuss the harassment he and his family suffer at the hands of anti-abortion activists during this time. Rodriguez will say that the harassment escalates to a terrifying level after the murder of Dr. David Gunn by an anti-abortion activist (see March 10, 1993). "[I]n the beginning, the harassment consisted of just nasty letters and graphic pictures of dismembered fetuses," he will say. "Then I began receiving strange packages with dolls inside, as well as subscriptions to gun magazines.… Then the 'Wanted' posters with my picture on them began to appear (see 1995 and After).… Then the doors and locks to our clinic were glued several times (see Early 1980s), and protesters blockaded the clinic three times (see 1985).… Just after Dr. Gunn's death… I realized that my car was steering poorly. I checked my tires and found 45 nails embedded in them.… That evening, my wife painfully discovered with her foot that our driveway had been booby-trapped with roofing nails cleverly buried beneath the snow.… My home, my haven of safety—violated." [Providence Journal, 11/17/2001; Sarah Jones, 10/20/2010] In 2000, Rodriguez will write an essay about a stint in an unnamed South American country, where he will perform illegal abortions for indigent tribespeople and citizens. [Carole Joffe, 2000; Metro Catholic, 11/10/2010]

Commenting on the OECD Education At A Glance report findings on social segregation in the UK, Sutton Trust chair Sir Peter Lampl said today:
"These findings bear out recent Sutton Trust research. The best schools, including the best comprehensives, have less than 6% of their pupils drawn from the poorest families, against a national average nearly three times greater. They are effectively closed to many poorer pupils because of the admissions rules that limit their intakes to their local neighbourhood or faith group. As the OECD notes, such segregation can make it harder for poorer pupils to achieve their potential. We need greater use of ballots and banding so that schools and academies recruit from a wider area in order to reduce such social segregation."

21 Entries for "stern"
My grandpa is extremely stern. I'm pretty sure he loves me but whenever we go putt putt golfing he gets really angry when I mess around. Hi Grandpa
She is a stern woman. What actually does stern mean? I have no clue, but that doesn't prohibit me from writing about it. Can i count this to my daily word count? Definietely, so I think. what is this sentence. that is not correct english. those red lines are very frustrating. let me just make mistakes. thet would be much nicer
Strict and stern, Nathaniel stood in front of the class wearing a soot-colored suit and a scowl across his wrinkled face. It was his thirtieth year teaching, and the students seemed quieter and quieter with each new term. Now, their eyes was averted, though not on their cellphones; Nathaniel had confiscated them all on the first day. But despite not having their little screens, they would not look their teacher in the eyes.
idont like shool i hate it vaeyr mu ch it is not nice to me
it hates me i like to read and play vedeio games and i dont like to do anything els exept play hockey i hate runnning alot
i dont likie to do anytrhing expt for that stuff my mother thinks that she knows me she is wrong she thinks i lie alot but i dont i just tell half truths
The stern look on his face told me to wait. I needed an answer and I needed it now. Yet, I was fearful of opening my mouth. I was fearful of what he might say. I wanted the word to come out as a yes. "Yes, you can." That is all I was hoping. I did not want to wait. I had a small window to let myself in and out of to get back to the company that had sought me out. Now, what was I suppose to do?
Stern look, stern measures, didn't leave a bit of opening or warmth, didn't give anybody chance or mercy.
He only stal- kept up on him these past few months and couldn't help but wonder, if he did that before, when there wasn't anything to compensate.
a/n: meh, I'm not happy with this; but you write what you write, a minute's a minute, and summer summer… I swear thinking makes me sweat . . .
He had a stern grip of her arm as she dangled from the bridge.
He turned and looked at me with a stern face.
I stared back, unsure of what to say.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the firetrucks rolled in.
it's always the same string every time coming out of your mouth, you are so stern about having no cavities, but just like that you are letting me sink in.
She raised her eyebrow, stood up straight and deepened her voice, trying to appear as stern as she possibly could. It was now or never, she had to make a change, put an end to it all. Such a small change yet it seemed like it would cause the world around them to crumble. She had to take charge, make them listen, their lives all depended on it
This gaze again. She felt immidiately intimidated. But the times have turned. She wasn't the ten year old any more. She wasn't taking shit from him – ok – maybe a little – after all caring for her old man meant she had to clean him.
Mr. Gray was a stern teacher. Many of his students greatly disliked him. Whenever they made a mistake, he would scold them. When the noise level in the classroom reached a normal pitch, he would bang his table with his cane and yell for them to be quiet. Really, it's no wonder his students call him "Gray face."
´´ Yes! this is exploration on the computer , everyday, woah!´´; SAID THE SURFER:
´´Stern shapes made out of thinking quickly´´, replied the bell.
The man looked stern. His hair was swept back in a gelled curve, his mustache artfully hiding his upper lip. His lips are pressed tightly together as he looks straight ahead.

Emerald Ash Borer Study
Treated ash trees and untreated ash trees, infected one and uninfected one… they all were studied as part of a research project to evaluate emerald ash borer (EAB) control efforts. The study took Tre to Missouri, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, and Keokuk, Iowa. The method Ash Tree Preservation uses to control EAB is the method the study determined to be best.
Blue Ash Study
Most species of ash trees are dioecious. That means there are female trees that produce seeds but don't produce pollen and there are male trees that produce pollen but never seeds. One exception is the blue ash. It's a monoecious species. It produces flowers that have both male and female parts. The flowers are very small, approximately 3/8-inches tall. They have no showy petals and therefore they're quite inconspicuous. Tre used his field scope and camera to take the photos appearing to the left.

Daniel Grayling Fogelberg (August 13, 1951 – December 16, 2007) was an American singer-songwriter, composer, and multi-instrumentalist, whose music was inspired by sources as diverse as folk, pop, rock, classical, jazz, and bluegrass music.
Dan Fogelberg, the youngest of three sons, was born in Peoria, Illinois, the son of Margaret (née Irvine), a classically trained pianist, and Lawrence Peter Fogelberg, a high school band director, who spent most of his career at Peoria Woodruff High School and Pekin High School.[1] Dan Fogelberg's mother was a Scottish immigrant, and his father was of Swedish descent.[2] His father would later be the inspiration for the song, "Leader of the Band". Using a Mel Bay course book, Dan taught himself to play a Hawaiian slide guitar that his grandfather gave to him; he also learned to play the piano. He started his music career at age 14 when he joined his first band, The Clan, which paid homage to The Beatles. His second band was another cover combo, The Coachmen, who in 1967 released two singles, written by Fogelberg, on Ledger Records: "Maybe Time Will Let Me Forget" and "Don't Want To Lose Her."
After graduating from Woodruff High School in 1969, he studied theater arts and painting at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and began performing as a solo acoustic player in area coffeehouses, including the Red Herring Coffeehouse, where he made his first solo recordings as part of a folk festival recording in 1971. He was discovered that year by Irving Azoff. Fogelberg and Azoff—who started his music-management career promoting another Champaign-Urbana act, REO Speedwagon—moved to California to seek their fortunes. Azoff sent Fogelberg to Nashville to hone his skills, where he became a session musician and recorded his first album, with producer Norbert Putnam. In 1972, Dan released his debut album Home Free to lukewarm response. He performed as an opening act for Van Morrison. Fogelberg's second effort was much more successful—the 1974 Joe Walsh–produced album Souvenirs and its song "Part of the Plan" became Fogelberg's first hit.
Fogelberg was married three times: to Maggie Slaymaker, a dancer from Nashville, from 1982-1985; to Anastasia Savage, a nurse and artist from Louisiana, from 1991-1996; and to musician Jean Marie Mayer, from April 7, 2002 until his death.[3][4][5] He had no children by any of his marriages.
After Souvenirs, Fogelberg released a string of gold and platinum albums, including Captured Angel (1975) and Nether Lands (1977), and found commercial success with songs such as "The Power of Gold." His 1978 Twin Sons of Different Mothers was the first of two collaborations with jazz flautist Tim Weisberg. 1979's Phoenix reached the Top 10, with "Longer" becoming a #2 pop hit (and wedding standard) in winter 1980. This was followed by his Top 20 hit "Heart Hotels."
The Innocent Age, released in October 1981, was Fogelberg's critical and commercial peak. This double album song cycle included four of his biggest hits: "Leader of the Band," "Hard to Say," "Run for the Roses," and "Same Old Lang Syne," based on a real-life accidental meeting with a former girlfriend (Jill Anderson). A 1982 greatest hits album contained two new songs, both of which were released as singles: "Missing You" and "Make Love Stay." In 1984, he released the album Windows And Walls, containing the singles "The Language of Love" and "Believe in Me."
Fogelberg released High Country Snows in 1985. Recorded in Nashville, it showcased his, and some of the industry's best, talent in the bluegrass genre. Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs, Doc Watson, Jerry Douglas, David Grisman, Chris Hillman, and Herb Pedersen were among those who contributed to the record. In a world he defined as "life in the fast lane," Fogelberg described the music as "life in the off-ramp." In late 1985, Fogelberg switched gears and took to the road with a group of musician friends, including Joe Vitale and Rick Rosas, playing blues in small clubs throughout Colorado as Frankie and the Aliens, covering songs by Cream and Muddy Waters, among others. [6] 1987 heralded a return to rock with Exiles, and 1990's The Wild Places was a tribute to Earth preservation. In 1991, he released the live album Greetings from the West.
River of Souls, released in 1993, was Fogelberg's last studio album for Sony Records. In 1997, Portrait encompassed his career with four discs, each highlighting a different facet of his music: "Ballads," "Rock and Roll," "Tales and Travels" (which displayed his talents as a narrative songwriter), and "Hits." In 1999, he fulfilled a career-long dream of creating a Christmas album, with his release of First Christmas Morning, and in 2003, Full Circle showcased a return to the folk-influenced, 1970s soft rock style of music for which he and other singer-songwriters from his era had gained popular recognition.
Fogelberg also used his music to address social issues, including peace and Native American concerns. He was particularly outspoken about his commitment to the environment and to finding alternatives to nuclear power. To that end, Fogelberg included "Face the Fire" on the Phoenix album and performed at a number of the Musicians United for Safe Energy "No Nukes" concerts in 1979 and 1980.
His live concerts won acclaim across the nation over the years. Fogelberg said that one of his proudest moments came in 1979 when he played New York City's Carnegie Hall for an audience including his mother and father. Most summers, Fogelberg would perform with a full band or in a solo acoustic setting; the formats allowed him to show the breadth and depth of his talent as a singer, guitarist, pianist, and bandleader. In 2002, fans showed their appreciation by choosing Fogelberg as one of the first ten inductees into the Performers Hall of Fame at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado.
In May 2004, Fogelberg was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. He underwent therapy and achieved a partial remission, which did not eliminate his cancer but reduced it and stopped its spread. On August 13, 2005, his 54th birthday, Fogelberg announced the success of his cancer treatments, and he thanked fans for their support. He said that he had no immediate plans to return to making music but was keeping his options open and enjoying spending time with his wife, Jean.
Fogelberg maintained residences in Deer Isle, Maine [7] and at Mountain Bird Ranch, a 610-acre (2.5 km2) property near Pagosa Springs, Colorado, that he purchased in 1982. The ranch was put up for sale in 2005.[8][9]
After battling prostate cancer for three years, Fogelberg succumbed to the disease on December 16, 2007, at his home in Deer Isle, with wife Jean by his side. He was 56 years old. [10]
Soon after his death, his widow announced that a song written and recorded for her by Fogelberg for Valentine's Day 2005, "Sometimes a Song", would be sold on the Internet and that all proceeds would go to the Prostate Cancer Foundation.[11] The song was released on Valentine's Day 2008 and was also included in a collection of eleven previously unpublished songs (nine originals) on a CD released in September 2009 titled Love In Time.
In tribute to Fogelberg and the entire Fogelberg family, the city of Peoria renamed Abington Street in the city's East Bluff neighborhood "Fogelberg Parkway". The street runs along the east side of Woodruff High School, Fogelberg's alma mater, and where his father was a teacher and bandleader. "Fogelberg Parkway" ends at the intersection of N. Prospect and Frye, which is the location of the convenience store where Dan ran into his old high school sweetheart one Christmas Eve; a chance encounter made famous in the song "Same Old Lang Syne"[12]
During the early Fall of 2009, the Peoria City Council granted permission to a group of Dan Fogelberg fans to begin fundraising efforts to create a permanent memorial to Fogelberg in his home town of Peoria, IL. The memorial garden will be placed in Riverfront Park and is expected to be dedicated during the Fall of 2010.[13]
Daniel Grayling "Dan" Fogelberg (August 13, 1951 – December 16, 2007) was an American singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, whose music was inspired by sources as diverse as folk, pop, classical, jazz, and bluegrass music. He was most popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

MOSCOW, June 15. /TASS/. Russia's birth rates are now outpacing European countries, Russian President Vladimir Putin noted during his annual televised Q&A marathon on Thursday.
"The birth rate here is increasing at such a rate that European countries don't have today," Putin said. "When I speak about that many of my colleagues (in other countries) are surprised and are sincerely glad about that," he pointed out.
The president mentioned that Russia's authorities have done a lot so that positive demographic trends could keep a stable pace. The state will further strive to support and encourage birth rate, Putin said.
Putin also said avarice should not be a factor, when taking measures to stimulate the birth rate, maternity capital payments and payments for a second child.
"Our measures provide results. Of course, they are very costly measures, but when we are talking about our people, our citizens - it is the future of our country. We have to carefully weigh everything here. We cannot be frivolous with money, but we cannot be greedy here either," he said.
It is necessary to develop a whole set of measures in order to stimulate the birth rate, the president said. "Maybe the extension of the maternity capital in one form or another…We need to think about how to promote the birth of a first child for young mothers, maybe give them something extra, because they are not standing firmly on their feet yet," he added.
Russian birth rate decreases every 25 years
Since the Great Patriotic War, declines in the Russian birth rate have been recorded every 25 years, Putin said.
He added that in the 1990s, the birth rate fell by 50% reaching only 1.2 mln.
"In the 1990s, we went through very difficult events, only 1.2 million people were born," Putin stated. "In fact, as far as the birth rate is concerned, the situation was similar to situation when the Great Patriotic War was raging…We have been observed decreases in the birth rate every 25 years," the Russian president pointed out.

Godparents for Joachim & Marie's 2nd Baby
Godparents are numerous for royal youngsters - and the options are seemingly endless!
Who do you think will be bestowed the honour of being godparent of Joachim & Marie's second child?
Prince Nikolai's Godparents:
The Crown Prince of Denmark
The Earl of Wessex
Peter Steentrup
Nicola Baird
Camilla Flint
Prince Felix's Godparents:
Count Christian Ahlefeldt-Laurvig
Oscard Davidsen Siesby
Damian Sibley
Martina Bent
Annick Boel
Prince Henrik's Godparents:
The Crown Princess of Denmark
Britt Davidsen Siesbye
Christian Scherfig
Charles Cavallier
Benjamin Grandet
For a Prince:
Prince Gustav of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg
Gregory Grandet
Prince Carl Philipp of Sweden
Vincent Diego
Peter Heering
For a little Princess
Princess Alexia of Greece and Denmark
Edouard Cavallier
Princess Märtha Louise of Norway
Anne-Marie Diego
Caroline Heering
Uh well seeing as the others have 5 godparents, I'd believe this little prince/princess will have the same amount of godparents.
My guess:
Princess Alexandra of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg
Gregory Grandet
Edouard Cavallier
Bendt Wedell (or his wife Pernille Wedell)
Agathe de Sacy
for a princess:
Princess Benedikte of Denmark
Princess Tatiana of Greece and Denmark
Britt Davidsen Siesbye
Henriette Steenstrup
Françoise Grassiot
for a prince:
Prince Nikolaos of Greece and Denmark
Count Richard von Pfeil und Klein-Ellguth
Edouard Cavallier
Peter Steenstrup
Oscar Siesbye
There's usually a mix?
Princess Nathalie zu-Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg
Prince Nikolaos of Greece and Denmark
Edouard Cavallier
Other two: friends of young parents (man and woman)
Pity that Nicolai is still too young...
Or maybe he will have been confirmed by that day? (or attending a course preparing to confirmation)
Maybe they'll choose queen margarethe as godmother other royals and friends, I can guess but it usually ends up being other people.
I did not know Prince Edward was Prince Nikolai's godfather.
I think the usual Royals will be chosen, perhaps Mary and Frederik, Haakon and Mette-Marit etc. I can't see any British Royal's being asked.
I think we can discount Mary - seeing as she's Henrik's godmama. Frederik has a chance as Nikolai is grown up.
I can´t see them asking CP Frederik to be godparent again. He got the honour with the firstborn :)
Going by Joachim with Alexandra and Marie's previous choices it seems there may be two things we can be certain of IMO:
1. There will be 5 godparents in all, 3 of the same sex as the child and two of the opposite gender
2. Unless someone new joins the Danish/Greek/Berleburg family (like Mary after Felix's birth but before bette Henrik's), there probably won't be any royal godparents. So perhaps Tatiana may be a godmother but as Nikolaos isn't one himself, that seems unlikely.
Prince Gustav
Prince Haakon
Prince Pavlos
Princess Nathalie
Prince Nikoloas
Princess Alexandra or her sister Princess Natalie
Carina Axelson
Sibling of Marie
Mutual friend/s of the couple.
God Parents for Marie and Joachim's second child:
Marie's brother, Edouard Cavallier
Marie's other brother, Gregory Grandet
Prince Nikolaos of Greece
Princess Nathalie
A friend of Marie
Marie's brother, Edouard Cavellier
Marie's Brother, Gregory Grandet
Princess Nathalie
Princess Theodora of Greece
A friend of Marie
Gregory Grandet
Edouard Cavallier
Princess Natalie
2 friends of the couple
- Gregory Grandet
- Edouard Cavallier
- Gustav of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg
- 2 more friends, possible: Henriette Steenstrup or Agente Arnø or Caroline Fleming
Agnete Arnø is actually a really good suggestion, her and Marie seems to be pretty close.

Political analyst Khoo Kay Peng said if the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) Government was sensitive to the needs of Christians, it need not worry about any threat to the survival of Malays and Islam in the country.
A bigger concern was the impact of the "Allah" ruling, said political analyst Khoo Kay Peng, adding that it touched on Christian sensitivities, especially since there was worldwide condemnation over the ruling.
"Christianity is practised by only 9% of the Malaysian population. The only electoral threat could come from Sabah and Sarawak. If the BN-led government is sensitive to the needs of Christians, there should not be any threat," he said.
Last week, Datuk Zulkifli Noordin a Deputy President of PERKASA (NGO) highlighted seven threats to the survival of Malay-Islam in Malaysia and warned that the 14th General Election may turn out to be a "Christian tsunami" if the threats were ignored.
He had also listed Pakatan Rakyat, Singapore, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and liberal Malays as threats.
According to Zulkifli, the Catholic church's move to drag the "Allah" issue to court was provocative and had insulted Muslims.
Another, political scientist Dr Jayum A Jawan from Universiti Putra Malaysia dismissed Zulkifli's warning, saying the Perkasa leader was just looking for a bogeyman.
"I don't think anyone is trying to convert anybody. This is about faith and beliefs.
People either embrace Islam or embrace Christianity, there is no conversion going on.
People either embrace Islam or embrace Christianity, there is no conversion going on.
Universiti Malaysia Sarawak political analyst Dr Arnold Puyok agreed, saying: "If there is any threat of proselytising, Perkasa must provide proof of its allegations.
"They are playing with fire by saying such things and the authorities must prevent them from doing so in the name of national security and harmony."

King… that is what Basil means… it is rather the KING of the herbs isn't it… it tastes so good with … well.. everything… in France it is often referred to as "l'herbe royale" … doesn't that just sound appropriate?
It's in the mint family…. though, I would like it noted, that i wish it grew as well as all that mint that has taken over my yard… (giggling)
Did you know that Basil does more for you than JUST taste absolutely amazing???
Once upon a time there were some who thought it a sort of love potion… a charm herb…. giggling yet? me to.. though eating it ALWAYS puts ME in a good mood.. so.. who knows?
It is actually a helper in that "digestion" thing… YES.. it aids you in digesting foods.. and may even help "counter act poisons" according to some research I looked at.. though… I won't take any poison to see just HOW much it counteracts.. thanks! I think I will just trust how wonderfully I FEEL eating it with my meals.. perhaps BASIL is the reason I enjoy eating in the spring and summer SO much… I consume Basil, nearly every day! It would seem it's that amazing flavor that releases (WAKES UP) you salivary glands and gets you MORE saliva while consuming it.. and chewing it.. and as we all know.. or ought to know.. chewing, is the first step in digestion.. and it all starts there, with that saliva.. it starts breaking things down right then and there in your mouth… So listen to grandma, and CHEW YOUR FOOD SLOWLY!!!!!
Basil can help you if you feel… ummm.. how do I say this delicately… (pssst.. GAS – E).. you know.. ?? Flatulence is often thwarted by this wonder herb! even the upset stomach..so grab a leaf and nibble!
Basil can also chill-ax you .. putting you in that "good mood" and hence it is known for aiding in sleep.. Perhaps this is why I loved France.. the wine, the Basil.. so much of what we consumed aided in digestion, put us in good moods, healed our bodies and helped us to rest… hmmm the more I learn, the more I realize the TRUE culture shock of returning to the Midwest 🙂
It is also important to note, that basil.. LIKE it's good companion garlic, are SUPER helpful when you have a stuffy nose.. clears things up, TRY it!
I am thrilled and amazed at all the wonderful things God has provided for us in His Creation.. Nature… to aid us in healing what ails us.. He truly IS a Promise Keeper… never leaving us, or forsaking us.. but a real provider! Love love love learning about the healing properties of herbs and foods.. 🙂
Yesterday we prepared many pots with great blending of "different muds" as Buddy would like to say.. that we may grow our herbs out doors… 🙂 I am very excited… we plant the seeds this week! We are late in planting.. but.. I don't care because (drum roll here…) I bought some beautiful Basil & rosemary in these little pots for inside on my window sill! so until my little garden grows.. I am content… I may transplant. but non the less. I am content! 🙂
What about YOU??? planting anything wonderful today? Do share! I love your wonderful comments!
I hope to post some delightful Basil recipes soon.. Please feel free to share YOURS too….

As business has become globalized, the number of employees working outside their home countries has grown. Each nation has its own regulations governing the compensation and taxation of employees. Shadow payrolls are calculated when employers need to insure compliance with the rules in both the home and host countries.
Legal Compliance and Shadow Payrolls
Suppose a U.S. firm assigns an employee to work and reside in a foreign country. The employee is paid in the host country and her wages, benefits and payroll taxes are handled under the laws of that country. However, United States tax law requires that the employer calculate and remit federal, state and local payroll taxes. When expatriate employees are assigned and paid in this manner, employers must calculate a shadow payroll to determine taxes due. The reverse situation occurs when a foreign national works and is paid in the United States but is also subject to tax requirements in his home country. In this case, shadow payroll determines his home country taxes. Shadow payrolls may also be needed when an employee resides in a host country and is paid from the home country, but is still subject to the host country's tax laws.

'82 Moto Guzzi V50 – Ellaspede
Posted on October 31, 2013 by Andrew in Café Racer, Classic. 13 comments
Halloween has really taken off in Australia over the past few years. From being a non-event a decade ago, it's now quite a 'thing'. Which got us thinking about posting a Halloween bike last week. But what are the chances, right? Unless we were to go all Orange County Choppers on your asses, we weren't getting our hopes up about finding any kind of Halloween-themed build that didn't suck. And then like mana from heaven, our mates from Brisbane's Ellespede Customs dropped an amazingly sweet, pumpkin orange Moto Guzzi right in our hot little laps. And what it's lacking in skulls, billet and chrome cobwebs it's more than making up for in taste, restraint and, well, orangeness. Meet the spookily quick 'EB053'.

Some of our web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies." They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain in your device's memory until you delete them. These cookies make it possible to recognize your browser when you next visit the site.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies which are necessary to allow electronic communications or to provide certain functions you wish to use (such as the shopping cart) are stored pursuant to Art. 6 paragraph 1, letter f of DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to ensure an optimized service provided free of technical errors. If other cookies (such as those used to analyze your surfing behavior) are also stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.

Storage of the IP address
Our comment function stores the IP addresses of those users who post comments. Since we do not check comments on our site before they go live, we need this information to be able to pursue action for illegal or slanderous content.
How long comments are stored
The comments and the associated data (e.g. IP address) are stored and remain on our website until the content commented upon has been completely deleted or the comments are required to be removed for legal reasons (slander, etc.).
Legal basis
The comments are stored based on your consent per Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. An informal email making this request is sufficient. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.
Processing of data (customer and contract data)
We collect, process, and use personal data only insofar as it is necessary to establish, or modify legal relationships with us (master data). This is done based on Art. 6 (1) (b) DSGVO, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract. We collect, process and use your personal data when accessing our website (usage data) only to the extent required to enable you to access our service or to bill you for the same.
Collected customer data shall be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.

6. Social media
Share content via plugins (Facebook, Google+1, Twitter, etc.)
The content on our pages can be shared on other social networks like Facebook, Twitter, or Google+. This page uses the eRecht24 Safe Sharing Tool. This tool establishes direct contact between the networks and users only after users click on one of these buttons.
This tool does not automatically transfer user data to the operators of these platforms. If users are logged into one or more of the social networks, the Like, +1, and Share buttons for Facebook, Google+1, Twitter, etc. will display an information window in which the user can edit the text before it is sent.
Our users can share the content of this page on social networks without their providers creating profiles of users' surfing behaviour.
Facebook plugins (Like & Share buttons)
Our website includes plugins for the social network Facebook, Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA. The Facebook plugins can be recognized by the Facebook logo or the Like button on our site. For an overview of Facebook plugins, see https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
When you visit our site, a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server is established via the plugin.

Google stores both the fact that you have +1'd a piece of content and information about the page you were viewing when you clicked +1. Your +1 can be displayed together with your profile name and photo in Google services, for example in search results or in your Google profile, or in other places on websites and advertisements on the Internet.
Google records information about your +1 activities to improve Google services for you and others. To use the Google + button, you need a globally visible, public Google profile that must contain at least the name chosen for the profile. This name is used by all Google services. In some cases, this name may also replace a different name that you have used to share content via your Google account. The identity of your Google profile can be shown to users who know your email address or other information that can identify you.
Use of collected data: In addition to the uses mentioned above, the information you provide is used in accordance with the applicable Google data protection policies. Google may publish summary statistics about users' +1 activity or share it with users and partners, such as publishers, advertisers, or affiliate websites.

7. Analytics and advertising
Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service. It is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies". These are text files that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of the use of the website by you. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
Google Analytics cookies are stored based on Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its website and its advertising.
IP anonymization
We have activated the IP anonymization feature on this website. Your IP address will be shortened by Google within the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission to the United States. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services regarding website activity and Internet usage for the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with any other data held by Google.
Browser plugin
You can prevent these cookies being stored by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. However, we wish to point out that doing so may mean you will not be able to enjoy the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent the data generated by cookies about your use of the website (incl. your IP address) from being passed to Google, and the processing of these data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Outsourced data processing
We have entered into an agreement with Google for the outsourcing of our data processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
Demographic data collection by Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics' demographic features. This allows reports to be generated containing statements about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and third-party visitor data. This collected data cannot be attributed to any specific individual person. You can disable this feature at any time by adjusting the ads settings in your Google account or you can forbid the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the section "Refusal of data collection".
Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking
This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States ("Google").
As part of Google AdWords, we use so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that your internet browser stores on your computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification of the user. Should the user visit certain pages of the website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the website can tell that the user clicked on the ad and proceeded to that page.
Each Google AdWords advertiser has a different cookie. Thus, cookies cannot be tracked using the website of an AdWords advertiser. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for the AdWords advertisers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, advertisers do not obtain any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can opt-out of this by easily disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie by changing your browser settings. In doing so, you will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
Conversion cookies are stored based on Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its website and its advertising.
For more information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking, see the Google Privacy Policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Facebook Pixel
Our website measures conversions using visitor action pixels from Facebook, Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook").
These allow the behavior of site visitors to be tracked after they click on a Facebook ad to reach the provider's website. This allows an analysis of the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes and their future optimization.
The data collected is anonymous to us as operators of this website and we cannot use it to draw any conclusions about our users' identities. However, the data are stored and processed by Facebook, which may make a connection to your Facebook profile and which may use the data for its own advertising purposes, as stipulated in the Facebook privacy policy. This will allow Facebook to display ads both on Facebook and on third-party sites. We have no control over how this data is used.
Check out Facebook's privacy policy to learn more about protecting your privacy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
You can also deactivate the custom audiences remarketing feature in the Ads Settings section at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. You will first need to log into Facebook.

How to ship dry ice
Dry ice is classified as dangerous goods. So there are specific packing requirements you need to follow to ensure it's shipped safely and securely. Find out what packaging materials you need and how to pack and label dry ice correctly.
What is dry ice?
Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide. It comes in flakes, pellets or blocks. It's commonly used to cool biological specimens and food.
To ship it you need to be trained and understand the necessary regulations, but you can also hire a specialist to do it for you.
What type of packaging do I need?
You need to ship dry ice in the correct packaging to slow down the sublimation process (when the substance turns from a solid to a gas). It needs to be designed to allow the release of carbon dioxide gas, while also preventing a buildup of pressure that might rupture it.
The packaging must also be capable of withstanding extremely low temperatures and remain undamaged by the dry ice. The best material to use is styrofoam – but to attach the labels you'll need to place this styrofoam container inside a larger cardboard box.
How do I pack dry ice?
- Place the item you want to ship into the inner container and fill up the remaining space with dry ice. You must use gloves when handling dry ice.
- Close the inner box, but don't use the H-method to tape it. This avoids a buildup of pressure.
- Place the inner package in the outer package.
What about labeling and marking?
Attach the class 9 label to the package. Mark the outside of the package with:
- The UN number: 1845
- The proper shipping name: Dry Ice or Carbon Dioxide Solid
- The net weight of the dry ice in kilograms
The shipper's and receiver's addresses must also be labelled on the package. Ensure all the labels are placed directly onto the package. But don't place the labels in a plastic pouch as it won't stay attached to the package because of the condensation.
What information do I need to provide?
You'll need to provide extra information in the 'Nature and Quantity of Goods' section on the air waybill:
- The UN number: 1845
- The proper shipping name: Dry Ice or Carbon Dioxide Solid
- The net weight of the dry ice per package
